Deliverance is not only for those who are raving mad or evidently possessed by demons. A person can be under the influence of demonic forces and still look normal. In Mark 1:23-27, a man went into the synagogue with an unclean spirit. He probably looked normal until Jesus showed up. On seeing Jesus, the demon inside him began to manifest itself, and Jesus eventually evicted it from its host. I decree that any demonic force that might be disturbing you will be evicted today, in Jesus' name.

The devil and his demons disturb people in different ways, one of which is through oppression. A lady once said that she always felt like she was carrying something invisible that was as heavy as a bag of rice on her head until God intervened. That is an example of oppression. To oppress is to prevent someone or something from rising. It also means to prevent someone or something from increasing. Even ministers of God can be under the devil's oppression. In such cases, such ministers might preach excellently, fast regularly, pray fervently, and study the Bible diligently, but their ministries will remain stagnant. However, when God's deliverance comes, their efforts will begin to yield great results.

In today's Bible reading, Pharaoh commanded his people to deal wisely with the Israelites because he didn't want them to increase. He oppressed them in different ways to prevent them from rising. Many years ago, a young man's Head of Department (HOD) decided to prevent him from being promoted. The HOD took the man's file and hid it so that whenever it was time for evaluation, it would not be found. After a while, the man gave his life to Jesus, and shortly after doing so, there was a military coup, and the fallout affected some people at his workplace. The HOD was forcefully retired, and a new HOD was appointed. When the new HOD decided to go through the files of everyone in the department, he noticed that the man's file was missing and ordered a thorough search. They searched everywhere in the office until the file was eventually found in the place where the former HOD hid it. The new HOD discovered that the man hadn't been promoted for years despite his diligence, and he instantly gave him a double promotion.

Beloved, I pray for you; the fire of God will consume every force that might be oppressing you and hindering your success, in Jesus' name.

RCCG Hymn

Conquerors and overcomers now are we

  1. Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
    Thro' the precious blood of Christ we've victory
    If the Lord be for us, we can never fail.
    Nothing 'gainst His mighty pow'r can e'er prevail.

    2. Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus,
    God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus,
    Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain,
    Yet who lives and reigns again,
    More than conquerors are we,
    More than conquerors are we.


  2. In the name of Israels God we'll onward press.
    Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
    Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be.
    For Salvation and for blood bought victory.
  3. Unto him that overcometh shall be given.
    Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav'n.
    Over yonder he the victors palm shall bear,
    And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear
