Topic: MY ENEMIES WILL NOT REJOICE OVER ME
Text: Luke 15:10, Judges 16:23, Psalm 30:1, Lamentation 2:17
Ministering: Dr. Daniel Olukoya (G.O MFM Worldwide)
Sing: Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
One of the most important prayers you can pray for yourself is the prayer we just prayed now:
🔥 Say this 3 hot times: My enemies will not rejoice over me, by the power in the blood of Jesus!
Occasions arise when heavens rejoice. Occasions also arise when darkness also rejoices. Occasions arise when heavens burst out in joy. When a person gets born again, there is joy in heaven. There is loud shouting. There was joy over Samson. There was loud shouting in the camp of the Philistines. That is why you should shout with a loud voice: My enemies will not rejoice over my life, by the power in the blood of Jesus!
The fact that the enemies can rejoice over someone is painted in vivid pictures by the psalmist (Psalm 30:1). In Luke 15:10 that we just read, the angels rejoice in heaven before God for one lost soul that was found. In Judges 16 that we read just now, the Lords of the Philistines rejoiced before Dagon their god for one saved soul that was lost at last. David knew what he meant when he was lamenting the death of Saul and Jonathan his son.
He said “Thy glory O Israel is slain upon the high places. How are the mighty fallen! Publish it not in Gath, let not the daughters of the Philistines rejoice”. He knew what he was talking about. So what are we saying this morning? Whether you rise or fall, fade or shine, you shall be celebrated! But it is up to you, whether you want to be celebrated by angels or by the devils. That is the difference. The devils rejoice when the saints fall but heavens rejoice when a lost soul is saved at last.
Under what situation does the enemy rejoice over people? The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– he is operating outside his divine destiny. If what you are doing is not what God has asked you to do, the enemy will be happy. That is why as quickly as possible, you must answer the questions.
1. Who am I?
2. What am I doing here?
3. What have I been sent here to do?
4. Have I been doing what I am supposed to do?
The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– they have succeeded in turning his back to God.
– they have their yokes upon him. And since their yoke is upon the neck of the person, they will just leave the person. You become a fat man in bondage. You are getting fat in bondage and the enemy is happy with that arrangement.
– a part of him is in their possession. This is a very sad situation because a lot of people have parts of their bodies distributed in the camps of the enemy. And this is very very sad indeed.
– your fighting hands have been tied up or have been cut off. Many people are fighting but their hands are tied. Many people are struggling but their hands are tied. Raise up your two hands and shout:
PRAY: Untie my hands, O Lord, by fire by power! in the name of Jesus.
The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– he is living in immorality, because he is in their cage.
– he is carrying out the enemies’ agenda.
– he is going to their camp for help.
– there is blood crying against him. Like blood of aborted babies crying against you. This is because the enemy knows that the Bible says blood cries. God told Cain “the blood of your brother crieth to me from beneath the ground”. When there is blood crying against you, there is trouble.
– he is repeating the iniquity of your father’s house. Your father had 3 wives, now you want to marry 7 wives. Your father was clever at lying, now you already have a certificate in lying.
– he is travelling on an expressway to hellfire.
– he is in divine disobedience.
– he is running the race that God did not ask him to run.
– he is writing and passing examinations that heaven did not set for him.
– he believes he has no enemies. Infact when you say the devil does not exist, they are happy. Once the enemy gets you to that level, that is it.
– his,inner garments are dirty, like that of Joshua the high priest.
– he does not believe the words of God. You just hear it but it does not register in your spirit. When doubt is filling your heart, the enemy will be rejoicing.
– he is prayerless or he is praying weak prayers. Weak prayers, weak prayerbase make the enemy to rejoice. And the kind of problems some of us are facing, the prayer altar is too weak to cope with that problem. That is why sometimes it is dangerous to miss general meetings like this.
The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– his faith goes weak.
– he has him captured.
– the anointed is being touched and the prophet is being harmed.
– he has established easy access into his life.
For some people, when the enemy wants to get in, it is very easy. He will just bring someone who will annoy them. And once they begin, all the screaming and anger, all the demons that want to get in, get in very quickly. By the time he calms down from all the anger, all the bad spirits have entered.
The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– he is labouring under unbroken curses. There are curses in your life but you are just playing with them.
– the trumpet of his life is playing an uncertain sound. Nobody knows whether you belong to the light or darkness. One leg in, one leg out. The enemy is happy with that arrangement.
– crying and sorrow replace prayer.
– he allows his heart to be troubled and worry has enveloped him.
– his thoughts are continually bad, bad thinking.
– bad covenants are binding him.
– the enemy is already inside and he is fighting an outside enemy.
– the enemy is in charge of his marriage and his home. The enemy knows that the home is the church in the church, the republic within the republic and if everything is going on well there, everything else will go on well.
– he refuses to evangelise because many souls will perish.
– he allows bitterness in his life. Any bitterness, envy or malice in your heart is a root of big sorrow.
– he is spiritually ignorant because the Bible says “my people perish for lack of knowledge”.
– the flesh is still in control of his life.
– he is still worldly or carnal.
– his quiet time becomes a very difficult task and he is struggling with it.
– his Bible reading becomes a very hard task.
– he is in possession of what does not belong to him.
– he has inordinate ambition for quick money. The Bible says “the love of money is the root of all evil”.
– he is a pastor and he splits a church into two or three.
– there is anger in his life.
– he builds his life on a lie. That is why I am declaring loud and clear: My enemies will not rejoice over my life, by the power in the blood of Jesus.
The enemy rejoices over a person when:
– he places anything before God or beside God. When you have an idol in your heart, he rejoices.
– he claims that the Lord spoke when He did not speak.
– he has abandoned your calling.
– he wastes his time. Because, of all commodities, the most foolish people waste time.
– he does not take God seriously.
It is therefore important to pray that the kind of celebration you want is angelic celebration, it is not celebration by devils. Angels celebrate those who repent, demons celebrated the fall of Samson. This morning, it is this important prayer we need to pray seriously. We need to call forth the wind of the Lord from the wilderness this morning and command that strong wind to locate the secured structures of the enemies who want to put us to shame.
We must also command the wind of the Lord to locate the satanic systems of the enemies and crush them to pieces. And command the wind of the Lord to scatter all those who have gathered together to rejoice at our fall. And command the wind of the Lord to scatter the sorcerers and all kinds of witchcraft operations targeted at believers to make then fall. Raise up your right hand again and declare: My enemies shall not rejoice over my life, by the power in the blood of Jesus.
