THE EFFICACY OF DECREES
THE SECRET
The secret of remaining a conqueror and overcomer is to remain in Christ.
Through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, God has lifted Him high. all
powers have been given to Him. The Bible says;
Philip. 2:9-13: wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him
a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the
earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed,
not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out
your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in
you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
There is a proverb, which goes thus: "A fountain that forgets its source
will dry up". In the same vein, a believer who forgets or neglects Jesus
Christ the source of power and authority will soon meet his or her waterloo.
Continuously abiding in Jesus Christ will grant you ceaseless power and
authority from the throne of grace. The Bible says;
John 15:5-6: I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abideth in me, and
I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is
withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are
burned.

WHAT IS A DECREE?
A decree is an official command from a higher authority. To decree is to
establish something militarily. When you decree, you issue an official order.
This is tantamount to what Jesus Christ said during his earthly ministry.
"Whatsoever you bind on earth is bound in heaven and whatsoever you
loose on earth is loosed in heaven."
A decree is a decision by a king or government. You can also look at a
decree as an order having the force of law behind it
A decree is an authoritative order or decision. This means that once a
decree goes out, compliance or obedience is a must.
You can also look at a decree as a determination by someone who has
power.
A decree is also to ordain a particular thing. To decide what has to be
done or the thing that has to take place can be referred to as a decree. The
Bible says, "Were the word of a king is, there is power and no one can say
what doest thou?"
A decree is not something that anybody can issue. It is reserved for those
who have met the criteria. If you are very observant, it will be clear to you
that decrees are issued by kings, priests and other people in positions of
authority in the world.
In the spiritual, the same principle holds The difference, however, is that
the saints of God are referred to as Kings and priests. Getting enlisted
among the spiritual kings and priests of God is by surrendering one's life to
Jesus as Lord and Saviour. This is what will give you the privilege to
exercise decrees that will shake the kingdom of darkness. The Bible says;
Rev.1:5-6: And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first
begotten of the dead, and the prince of the king of the earth. Unto him that
loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. And hath made us
kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen.
Contrary to what obtains in the outside world, our kingship as Christians
is not by selection or voting. In fact, it is not because our parents have been
kings before. The world can practice paternal kingship, but what obtains in
God's kingdom is privileged kingship that one cannot get by merit but by
the mark of the blood of Jesus.
Since our kingship is not by voting or selection, it will be difficult for a
person to vote us out of power. This is what is rampant in earthly kingship,
but it is rare in celestial kingship. The only thing that can remove the royal
robe of kingship is sin. The Bible says;
1 Peter 2:9-11: But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who
hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time
past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not
obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. Dearly beloved, I beseech
you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against
the soul;
Heavenly kingship is not obtained by money but by mercy. The kings of
this world might bribe their ways to ascend the throne but such a thing does
not take place in the realm of heavenly kingship. How do we obtain mercy?
We obtain mercy by asking for forgiveness of sins. It is as simple as ABC.
You do not need to go through any protocol before you have access to the
throne of mercy. All that God expects from you are humility and
brokenness.
In military governance, a person can take over power through a coup
d'etat, while a counter-coup can remove him from power. This is contrary to
what exists in heavenly governance. There is a world of difference between
the realm of the supernatural and the physical.
Our kingship is by divine Support; our decree should be patterned after
divine standard. When we decree, we are not to plead or request Satan or
his agents to release their captives. We are not supposed to pray in order to
pacify the devil and his cohorts. Our decrees should not be hindered by
powers of darkness.
There is no court of law on earth or in heaven that should challenge our
decrees.
The evil umbrella is one of the end time strategies used by the devil to
hinder God's children from receiving the touch of heaven. Ignorance
concerning the evil umbrella will not give you your needed breakthroughs.
By the time you gain insight into the workings and the operations of the evil
umbrella, things will change for the best in your life. My prayer to God is
that your life will not be covered by the evil umbrella. God will open your
eyes to see the wicked umbrella so that you can fire the arrow of prayer
against it.
The operation of the evil umbrella is not vague in the realm of darkness.
The Evil umbrella is used to block the outpour of God's blessings. You
cannot afford to handle the issue of the evil umbrella with levity. If it will
take you waiting upon the Lord in prayer and fasting, it is worth it. The
desire of my heart is that this satanic instrument be destroyed in your life as
you sincerely and pray the prayer points at the end of this chapter.
An umbrella is normally used to shield a person from the harshness of
weather conditions. The unfavourable weather condition could be rain,
snow or sunlight. The physical umbrella will, therefore, protect from rain,
sunshine and other climatic conditions. Just as the physical umbrella
protects us from bad weather, there is also an evil umbrella that prevents
avalanche of God's blessings.
The operation is of a satanic umbrella are tantamount to sowing good
seed on a concrete slab. In that sense, the seed will not be able to germinate.
Hence it cannot bring forth fruit. This is so because there will be no contact
between the seed and the soil. The consequence is clear. The seed dies and
there is nothing to show forth for efforts made.
When the evil umbrella is in place, things change to the worst. The
blessings of God will be prevented from landing safely on the intended
beneficiary. Unless the fire of God sets ablaze this evil umbrella there can
be no outpouring of God's blessings.
The God of heaven specializes in dazzling His people with surprises. He
relishes putting a smile on the faces of his beloved children. God cherishes
this and He has not retired. He still sends showers of blessings upon
heavenly pilgrims. You should not be left out in the move of God. You must
wage war against any evil umbrella that might want to obstruct God's
showers. The Bible says
Ezekiel 34:26-27: And I will make them and the places round about my hill
a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in his season; there
shall be showers of blessing. And the tree of the field shall yield her fruit,
and the earth shall yield her increase, and they shall be safe in their land,
and shall know that I am the Lad, when I have broken the bands of their
yoke, and delivered them out of the hand of those that served themselves of
them.
God is ready to rain showers of blessings upon you, but you must be
ready to pray in order to break the concrete slab of the wicked which will
not allow your seed to germinate. You will also need to direct your prayer
against destroying the evil umbrella of the wicked over your heavens. At
this point, I want you to pray this prayer seriously. Thou concrete of
darkness, break in the name of Jesus.
COSTLY IGNORANCE
Ignorance is costly. There are many people who are completely ignorant
of certain facts of spiritual warfare. You will remain long in affliction and
bondage of the devil if you lack knowledge. It is knowledge that equips you
to fight spiritual battle.
Hosea 4:6: My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou
hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest
to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy
children.
Salvation does not exempt anybody from the battles of life. It only equips
us to fight and win. It is simplistic for you to think that once you are born
again, all your problems will disappear. May God have mercy on you if this
is your view. It is true that the bible says;
2 Cor.5:17: Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The passage above does not rule out the ministry of deliverance at all. In
fact, there are so many ministers that have misconstrued this verse to mean
salvation as freedom from the turbulence of this world. Soma of these
ministers have now started full time deliverance ministry. It is unrealistic
for you to think that salvation automatically cleanses you from all the past
satanic involvements.
There are some cases where you might need to undertake serious
deliverance exercises before you can enjoy the liberty which is in Christ
Jesus.
Jesus Christ clearly spells it out that being saved does not mean eating
bread and butter all the time. In fact, the Christian life his not a bed of roses.
You should know that even roses have thorns. It takes a Christian who is
bended to win the battles of life. It is when you are on your knees that you
even stand tall. Jesus himself highlights the importance of the ministry of
deliverance in the scriptures:
John 16:33-17:1: These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might
have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: bur be of good cheer: I
have overcome the world.... These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes
to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son
also may glorify thee:
Being born again is not the absolute solution to getting delivered from
satanic attacks, oppression and suppression. It only opens the door way to
the solution of the problems. You must take heed to all that will be
discussed below if you really want the evil umbrella to be taken our of the
way.
Take note of this, born again Christians experience satanic attacks. Are
you going to tell me that you have not seen a born again Christian being
attacked before? Even if you have not seen one, you should have heard
about an instance. Most of the attack come when you fail to align yourself
perfectly with the word of God.
Some of the areas-of your life which you might open the door to Satan's
attacks are examined below. You need to take heed to the minutest details of
these areas. So that you will not fall victim of the devil's attack.
Known sins and rebellion
You will open the door for Satan to make use of his umbrella in your life
if you habour known sins and rebellion. Do you know that the devil is the
accuser of the brethren? He usually lays accusation against believers in the
sight of God. Secret sins and rebellion will give you an automatic evil
umbrella. Prayer becomes unanswerable when this umbrella is over your
head. You will make efforts but all may be to no avail. That is why there is
need for you to stay clear from known sins and rebellion.
Emotional trauma and depression
Don't cry, God is still on the throne. When you go through emotional
trauma and depression, all hopes and expectations go down the drain.
Nothing good seems to come your way. That is why you have to overcome
emotional trauma so that it will not pull you down. There are some
believers who seem to carry the burden of the whole world upon their
heads. They walk with long faces as if God cannot solve their problems.
Never quit! Rest in the Lord. Trust in Him. Allow yourself to be subject to
the control of God. It is possible that you have wept all nights, but I want to
tell you that your morning has come. Emotionaltrauma if allowed might
spread an evil, umbrella above your head.
Inherited curses.
You cannot afford to ignore the effect of inherited curses. When you fail
to break inherited curses in your life, things will go wrong There are some
inherited curses you have to break and dismantle if you really want to
experience victory and progress in your life. Inherited curses enslave
ignorant souls. Break yokes and curse so that you can begin to receive the
blessings of God. Many have waited endlessly for answers to prayers
without any testimony due to inherited curses, which brought the evil
umbrella into place.
The influence of worldly arts and music
A child of God should be clearly distinct from unbelievers. A believer
should not be heard singing worldly music or dancing to worldly songs. Do
you know that singing worldly music has spiritual implication? I wonder
why people lose control at the sound of worldly music. Don't be ignorant.
Most worldly musicians get their inspiration from Satan himself. That is
why their songs usually influence people when it finally hits the market.
Maybe you would like to know why worldly music is bad. The word of
God goes strong against worldly music. God frown at worldliness and He
does not expect any of His children to have a trace of worldliness. The bible
says;
1 John 2:13-16: I write unto you, fathers, because ye have known him that
is from the beginning. I write unto you, young men, because ye have
overcome the wicked one. I write unto you, little children, because ye have
known the Father. I have written unto you, fathers, because ye have known
him that is from the beginning. I have written unto you, young men,
because ye are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have
overcome the wicked one. Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and
the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Listening to worldly music and allowing worldliness in your life will
accelerate the operations of the evil umbrella. With the evil umbrella in
place, God's blessings over your life will be hindered.
Evil objects in your house and heart
Evil objects do nut emanate from God. It is from the devil. You therefore
need to stay clear from anything that appears Satanic in your house and
heart. Evil objects will, bring the wrath of God over your life and can keep
you in bondage. The Bible says
1 Thes. 5:22: Abstain from all appearance of evil.
Genuine repentance should make you to destroy every satanic object that
might be in your possession. It is not possible for God and Satan to reign in
you at the same time. You cannot serve God and mammon. Evil thoughts
have to be taken out of you. Guard your heart diligently and never allow
ungodly things to settle in your mind. Evil objects have to be removed from
your heart and your house if you don't want the evil umbrella to operate
against you.
Tithes and offerings
The Scripture clearly commands believers to pay tithes. Your tithe is one-
tenth of your income or profit. Anything you give above that is referred to
as offerings.
Do you know that you are a robber if you don't pay your tithes and
offerings? Failure to pay tithes and give offering is more serious than
robbing a bank. if you don't pay your tithe and offerings, you are robbing
God. And anyone that robs God will never go scot-free. Such a person will
receive God's judgment and punishment.
Another thing that should be clear to you is that anyone who refuses to
pay tithes and offering is cursed by God. Do you know what it means to be
cursed by God? There is no pastor or prophet that can cure anyone from that
curse. In fact, no deliverance minister can deliver anyone who is cursed by
God. The way to get delivered from that curse is to repent and start paying
tithes and give offerings.
Malachi 3:8-12: Will a man rob Gad? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say.
Wherein have we robbed thee? in tithes and offerings. Ye are cursed with a
curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the
titches in to the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and
prove me how herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the
windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not he
room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine
cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all
nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the
Lord of hosts.
Failure to pay tithes and offerings will open the door for the enemy to
bring an evil umbrella that will work against you.
Unforgiving spirit
Unforgiving spirit is not from God, it is from the devil. A bonafide child
of God is not expected to have unforgiving spirit. It should not be hard for a
child of God to forgive from the heart. This is because, we have received
the forgiveness of sins from God. Jesus Christ makes it clear that it is only
when we forgive other people that we will be forgiven by God. The Bible
says
Matthew 6:14-15: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly
Father will also forgive you: Bur if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Unforgiving spirit will allow the enemy to do all manners of atrocities in
your life.
Idolatry
God is jealous over His creations and He does nor condone any form of
idolatry from the works of His hands. Idolatry simply means, placing
something or somebody beside God or before God in your life.
At this juncture, you should know that idolatry is not limited to pouring
palm-oil upon an image and bowing down to such. Anything that takes the
place of God in your life or heart could be described as idolatry. It is
possible for money to be an idol to some people. Another person's idol
could be a man or a woman; while to some others, it could be their
employer. Whatever thing or person takes the number one position outside
God in your life is an idol.
To tell you how seriously God takes the issue of idolatry, the first
commandment that God gave to Moses was based on idolatry. The Bible
says;
Exodus 20:3-6: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not
make unto thee any graven Image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the
Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And
shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
The greatest problem that has been troubling the whole of Africa is our
background of idolatry. The problem of closed heaven which the black man
is confronted with is caused by the background of idolatry. If you can
undertake a journey into the scriptures, you will discover that the
centrepiece of demonic activities is the land of Egypt. Egypt is a problem to
Africa. It was in Egypt that the magicians saw the raw power of God and
decided to confront it headlong. At that time, Moses threw the rod of power
which God gave him and it became a serpent. These men (Magicians)
confronted the power of God by throwing down their own rods, which
became serpents as well.
I receive a mail from an Egyptian who said that his father used to talk to
dead spirits. He said that his problem started one day when he decided to
open a bag under the bed of his father. As he opened the bag, a mysterious
thing happened. A hand jumped out of the bag and wrote certain things on
the wall. This is not a dream but a reality. It happened while he was awake.
The Egyptian read one of our messages on the Internet and later wrote for
assistance in the area of deliverance from satanic enslavement.
