TESTIMONY SPOTLIGHT
Let us read through this striking testimony that we received yesterday to rouse our spirits before we start to pray. May your own testimony also arrive to the Glory of the Lord alone in Jesus’ Name.
INTRODUCTION
Ajike had been waiting on the Lord for the fruit of the womb for quite some months after marriage. It wasn’t really that she had issues with her reproduction, it just was that the period of time with which she and her husband spent together before he travelled abroad couldn’t result into pregnancy.
As soon as she was able to join her husband abroad, Ajike took to her social media handle to inform her following that she had finally joined her husband abroad. Even people who didn’t know that her husband had been abroad had now been fully informed. She was congratulated, her post was liked and commented on etc.
One thing Ajike didn’t know however was that the information had also reached the monitoring headquarters. Since she was not posting anything on the social media about her life and family, the monitoring headquarters weren’t able to know that her husband had travelled. They had their ears to the ground to pick up information but noone was willing and able to give the latest updates about Ajike’s life. But now, the monitoring headquarters have been nudged.
About two months after she joined her husband abroad, Ajike thought that she must have taken in. Amazingly, she missed her period and then, she went to the pharmacy to get the test strip to confirm her joy. She waited anxiously for the next morning to arrive. That night, the midnight before the day she would take the test, she had a dream.
In that dream, she was to climb a particular stage and three women who were facing the stage challenged her. They told her she couldn’t climb that stage! Well, to their fury, she climbed the stage. Then, they told her in annoyance- ‘Let’s see how you will come down from there!’
She woke up and was so surprised to find out that even before she could take the pregnancy test and be sure she was pregnant, some forces were already aware! Wow! She and her husband prayed about the matter the way ‘peaceful’ Christians who don’t do wars pray. A few weeks later, Ajike found herself in the pool of her blood! Their threats had come to a reality! The baby was out! She was thrown into wailing- just as they had planned.
THE DEVIL IS NOT OMNISCIENT/OMNISCIENT
Let me quickly assure you that the Devil is neither omniscient (he doesn’t know all things) nor is he omnipresent, he works based on information available to him. And you see, this is why I am urging us also to start gathering information. The Devil gathers information to attack us, we should also gather information to attack him! You see, the Holy Spirit is the best Source of our own information. He can see the future from now, He knows all things! He has everything in His palms, so, we are supposed to be in sync with Him so that He can always supply us with information. If you see a Christian who is well informed, the difference is always clear!
This person is already aware that the Devil wants to take away her pregnancy, so, she sits with the Holy Spirit and war till victory is sure, till she is certain that the pregnancy is safe under the everlasting arms of God. She doesn’t pray for five minutes, name it and claim it and believe it is settled. She stays in prayers till God gives her a green light! This person will avoid major pitfalls, planned for her by the Devil. Why? She is informed! Her enemies will start wondering how she keeps evading their plans and why their traps wouldn’t catch her. Well, they won’t be able to understand! Information!
So, as warriors of the Lord work with information that the Holy Spirit gives them, monitoring agents also work with information. However, they don’t have the Holy Spirit, so their information have to come from some other sources. They do a lot of researches and GUESSWORKS!
They guess that you should be ovulating now because someone was able to give them the information (maybe even innocently) that you started your period on your wedding day. They do their calculations and wait for that period. As soon as your ovulation approaches, they plan one programme that will take you both far from each other or plan one terrible malice between you two. By the time you both decide to humble yourselves and apologize to each other, ovulation has passed- till next month!
JESUS
So, I have found out by revelation that he works by guesses a lot! For instance, when Jesus Christ was born, there were a lot of informations scattered everywhere about His birth. The glory was too big to be hidden and the announcement was to fulfill prophecies. Well, Herod got the information also and he was very displeased. Being a representative of the Devil, he swung into action and started to look for the Christ! He guessed and guessed and guessed, killing innocent children in the process. He simply couldn’t locate Jesus!
OH CRY OUT!
Dear Lord, may the Devil lose precision over my life and my lot. May he never be able to guess right concerning me. May all his information about me be incorrect. Hide me oh Lord from the monitor’s eyes.
But do you know what happened that the Devil was not able to locate Jesus? Matthew 2:13-15 says:
“When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. ‘Get up,’ he said, ‘take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.’ So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘Out of Egypt I called my son.'”
Can you see the Word of the Lord? The God of Heaven had to be hid away from the Devil! This means that if Herod had found Him, he would have killed Him! Joseph, his earthly father had to get intelligence from Heaven to be able to preserve this Precious Seed!
CRY OUT:
Father forgive me for the times when I had carelessly and cluelessly given information to the enemies of my soul. Forgive me for the times when I had out of pride exposed the glorious gifts and treasures You have handed over to me to the eye of the wicked one. Forgive me oh dear Lord for acting foolishly in the Name of Jesus Christ.
You know, we live in ‘advertisement’ times. Everyone wants to advertise something online- their latest pictures, their latest car, their latest diploma, their latest travel updates, their latest child, their latest this and that. The Devil has ‘graciously’ created a platform where he can have full details of our lives by just a few clicks. And you know what? Information that we out online outside of the Lord’s commands, outside of His glory all risk being used against us!
And no, I am not saying all of these so that we can be scared. I am simply giving us intelligence on the activities of the Devil. There have been times when I put out pictures and videos which I felt the Lord wanted me to put out. And days after, I lose my peace and I wonder ‘What’s that Lord?’ and He tells me to pull them down. I do not need to hesitate, I obey instantly! Why would I argue against Heavenly intelligence?
There is a type of video YouTubers make during their pregnancies. I also made one very lovely one, suffered to edit the video, put it on my Youtube draft (All the while doing it prayerfully) and when it was about time to publish, the Holy Spirit said ‘STOP!’ and I was like, ‘Really?’ and He insisted. The video is still in the draft today, it will never see the light of the day! Why? My Father says it is of no eternal relevance to my audience!
Keep it to yourself, Liz!
Yes Sir!
God needed Jesus to be known to the whole world but it was not yet time. The enemy was seeking for him. The Lord needed the enemies to be killed first, then, Jesus could come back into the land! Amazing! Oh amazing!
MOSES
What about Moses? Immediately the devil sensed that the deliverance of the children of Israel was near, based on the information he had- God had told Abraham that after 500 years, He would visit the children of Israel in Egypt and deliver them. Being armed with this information, probably, the Devil was waiting. He stirred the heart of Pharaoh and this guy started to kill all the male children born to the Israelites. He killed and killed but couldn’t just find Moses to kill!
CRY OUT!
A thousand might fall at my side and ten thousand at my right side, it shall not come close to me in the Name of Jesus.
Dear Lord, frustrate all the agenda of the enemies concerning my life. As they plan, let their plans come to nought. As they speak, let not their words stand in the Name of Jesus Christ.
You know what happened eventually? Moses who was the target of the Devil was even now brought so close to Pharaoh’s nose. He trained him, fed him, clothed him- as his own son! Hahahaha
CRY OUT!
Satan, over my life and my lot, you will use your hand to wound yourself! All your ploys against me will turn around for my own good in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
SATAN’S MONITORING OF JESUS
Since Herod was not able to kill Jesus, the Devil knew that he was being raised somewhere. He must have wondered where and by who. He sought and sought but Jesus was not found by him. One day, John the Baptist made a strange announcement- ‘Behold the Lamb of God…!’ and before you know it, the Father spoke from Heaven and the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus Christ.
When the information got to the Devil, he traced Jesus Christ to the Wilderness where the Holy Spirit had gone to hide Him. He needed to be sure of the information that he had heard from so many. So, he said: “If you are the Son of God…”
You might think he was just tempting him or something- not just that- he was making a research! He was trying to find out if the information he had gathered was true! ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.'”, Jesus didn’t obey him! “‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down”! Jesus didn’t bulge.
He must have wondered what was so special about Jesus but he couldn’t get Jesus to obey him! He couldn’t just find a point from Jesus that would prove the point of all the information he had gathered!
Well, you know what he eventually did to Jesus? He killed him! That was exactly what he did to John the Baptist! That was what he did to Apostle James! That was what he did to Stephen! If he is unable to get enough information and he suspects that this one might be special to the Lord, he would start to target the lives!
CRY OUT:
Oh Lord, I hide my life in You! My life will never be lunch for the Devil in the Name of Jesus. You are the one who has my life in His hands, the Devil has no power to declare my end in the Name of Jesus Christ.
You know what the Bible says about the guesses of the Devil concerning Jesus? Let me show you:
1 Corinthians 2:7-8 (KJV): “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
The Devil didn’t know that that was His Lord and Master in human form! If he had known, he would not have allowed Jesus Christ to be killed! Now, he did Himself by killing Him! Hahaha. After crucifying Him, he realized what he had done. He had just made an escape route for God’s children! Wow! A terrible mistake.
Oh, may the Devil daily make irreparable mistakes over my life and my lot in the Name of Jesus Christ.
DESTROYING THE MONITORING EYES
I can assure you that monitoring spirits are so real. You have not read of how Balak and Balaam were monitoring the children of Israel from mountaintops? Hmmm, these people were busy carrying on their own lives not knowing the enemies were gathering information about them!
One prayerful woman was going on her street one day when one of the diabolical men of that area met with her and looked kind of lost. Then he said ‘Just continue living the way you have been living.’ More like, ah, you have been weighed on the scale and found to be worthy, don’t stop! Don’t stop!
Remember when the spies went to Rahab? These men didn’t have to necessarily give her details about themselves. Rahab herself gave them information about their ownselves! Hahaha. The information about them had reached the lands they had not reached before.
What are Monitoring Eyes?
They are spiritual beings that operate in the supernatural realm, with the task of observing and monitoring the lives of individuals. Their main goal is to gather information, take notes, and report back to the forces of darkness, seeking any vulnerability they can exploit in our lives. It’s like they’re running some kind of spiritual surveillance mission!
By now, I am sure you shouldn’t be wondering if this is biblical. You bet it is! The Bible sheds light on these malevolent beings in various passages as I have showed you above. It is extremely important to understand what the Bible says about them to be equipped to deal with their influence.
In the book of Job [Job 1:7], we find an intriguing scene where the sons of God come to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also comes among them. The Lord Himself asks Satan if he has considered His faithful servant Job. This implies that there are spiritual beings constantly observing and reporting back on our lives, just like a spiritual surveillance network. And Satan replied in the affirmative. In fact, he did not have to open a diary to give details about the life of Job! He had been doing a great job of monitoring.
These eyes monitor people’s life history, glory, time and age in life. They follow people wherever they go in order to programme disappointment at the edge of breakthrough into their lives and then waste them at will. Whenever they observe your golden time of your marriage, the season of your glorification, the time you will become prosperous, they will roll out stones of failures to discourage you from achieving your purpose.
Signs of the Activities of the Monitoring Eyes:
- Unexplained Prolonged Challenges: Do you have that one very stubborn problem that never seems to go away? Are you stuck in a never-ending loop of difficulties? Well, my dear sister, this might be a sign that sneaky monitoring eyes are at work, trying to keep you down and hinder your progress.
- Patterns of Repeated Failures and Setbacks: Ever felt like you’re constantly hitting roadblocks, no matter how hard you try? More like taking one step forward and then two steps back. Well, those monitoring spirits love to set up traps, making success feel elusive and leaving you feeling defeated. You get pregnant and lose it every sixth month etc.
- Sudden Struggles in Areas of Success: You were doing great in a particular area of your life, and suddenly, everything started falling apart. Well, those sneaky spirits try to mess with your victories and testimonies turning them into struggles. And you are left wondering, “What went wrong?”
- Isolation and Discord in Relationships: Have you noticed strain in your relationships with friends, family, or fellow believers? Very lovely relationships just suddenly go sour without any serious reasons. Well, those monitoring eyes thrive on misunderstandings and division. They want to drive a wedge between you and your loved ones and keep you perpetually frustrated, thinking something is wrong with you.
- Spiritual Dryness and Lack of Passion: Remember when you felt super connected to God? But now, it’s like your spiritual fire has fizzled out. Prayer feels dull, and reading the Bible becomes a chore. Well, those spirits don’t want you close to God, so they try to snuff out your passion. When they see your fire kindling, they’ll come knocking with their tricks—just to put it out!
- Almost there but never there: As soon as your hands are about grabbing those goodies, they just fall through! Why? Could be the activities of these spirits!
How the Monitoring Eyes Operate:
- Through wicked people: who truly want to harm you.
- Through innocent people: who do not have any mind to harm you but are probably too talkative they can’t help you keep your good or bad news to themselves.
- Through gifts or inanimate objects: Just by wrapping up an evil gift for you or dropping something in your home or car, they can be having direct access into your home and life.
- Through incisions and evil marks: Those evil cuts you received from that evil priest when you were a child or even as an adult can be a link to monitor your life, sisters.
- Through guesses.
- Through your careless talks and writings.
- Through social media ‘advertisements’
How to be victorious over the monitoring Eyes
- Prioritize Living a Holy Life: Not ‘up today, down tomorrow’; ‘Cold today, hot tomorrow’; ‘here today, there tomorrow’. Start to consistently walk with the Lord in love and holiness, not out of the fear of Hell or just ensuring you make Heaven!
- Be extremely prayerful: The Bible says a lot of things about so many things- Bible study, preaching etc but the one it says we should do always is prayer! We should pray without ceasing! We should always pray and not faint! That tells you the importance of this relationship. So, ask yourself, sis
- Grow in the Spirit: If you continue to remain a baby Christian, the Lord will never commit real revelations to you. And don’t forget, you need information! The One who will give you the information is God in you!
- Desire the Revelational Gifts and pray for them: The gifts of knowledge, wisdom, discernment of gifts are very essential. If you desire them pray for them and you will have them. As the Lord releases a measure of the gifts to you, you need not be satisfied but grow in them.
- Daily Spiritual Sanitation: You cannot expect to receive from Heaven when your life is littered around with unforgiveness, bitterness, gossip, malice, anger, envy, jealousy etc. Ensure you momentarily cry out ‘Search me oh Lord and know my heart! Try me oh God and know my thoughts. See if there be any wicked way in me, Lord’. As the Lord reveals anything, make efforts to fix those problems!
- Be watchful: What you put online, what you discuss with people, no matter how trusted they are, ensure that the Lord gives you a go-ahead before you let people into the details of your life. If not, keep quiet! ‘Would you love me put this online, Lord?’; ‘Would You have me share this with this person?’ The Holy Spirit will always lead you in the ways of watchfulness and carefulness, stay on His side!
