Rhapsody Of Realities 27 July 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): Power To Crush Them All
TOPIC: Power To Crush Them All (Rhapsody of Realities 27 July 2024)
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
In Luke 10:18, the Lord Jesus said, “…I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Following this, He made the amazing declaration in our opening scripture. What does it mean to tread? It means to press down, stomp on, trample on or crush underfoot. It signifies exerting total dominion and dominance over the adversary and adversities.
Psalm 44:5 says, “Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.” Again, we see the use of the word “tread” in Psalm 91:13; it says, “Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.” Psalm 108:13 tells us, “Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”
Also, Isaiah 14:25 reveals something beautiful; it depicts our divine authority and victory over the “Assyrian” (the spirit of the antichrist): “…I will break the Assyrian in my land, and upon my mountains tread him under foot….” The Lord is the head, and we are His body—His feet—that treads the Assyrian underfoot. Hallelujah!
Furthermore, the use of “serpents” and “scorpions” metaphorically refer to deceptive and rebellious individuals. For example, in Matthew 23:33, the Lord Jesus addressed the religious leaders as “serpents” and “generation of vipers,” denoting their deceitful nature.
Similarly, Ezekiel 2:6 describes rebellious individuals as “scorpions,” emphasising their opposition to God’s truth: “…though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.”
Both groups mentioned by the Lord Jesus and the Prophet Ezekiel are those who have taken upon themselves to fight God’s people, fight God’s Word, fight the truth, and walk in deception. But thanks be unto God; the Lord has given us victory over them all. Your dominion and superiority is over all the ability of the enemy—and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Praise God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the authority you’ve granted me over Satan and all the power of the enemy. I wield this authority effectively, standing firm in the matchless Name of Jesus against the deceptive schemes, tricks, manipulation and wiles of Satan. I’m victorious today and always as I walk in the truth of your Word, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
