*"And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead that the stone sunk into his forehead and he fell upon his face to the earth".*
_1 Samuel 17:49_

God targeted the leader's head of the battle against the Israelites and that's the end of the battle. The leader's head of the battle against your life and family will fall today in the Mighty Name of Jesus. The Lord will paralyze the head of the one leading a battle against you at your place of work today in the Mighty Name of Jesus. You will surely see the end of that battle in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen.

*Hear this,*
As you call upon God's Name today and declare His deeds among the people, I command the door of mercy to open unto you. You will draw water from the wells of salvation as you step into the world today in Jesus' Name. The Almighty God will deliver you from every delay and time wasting devices of the devil as you lift up your eyes unto the Hills. I decree thunder upon whosoever is angry because of your progress this year. I declare total war upon every power waiting to terminate your success at your point of celebration in Jesus' Name. The Lord will cause the heavens to open up and release unto you every delayed blessing with your name as you carry out your routine assignment today in Jesus' Name. Amen.
This year, you will not go down to Egypt for help. You will not eat the food of your enemies. The Almighty God shall arise against the house of your adversaries and cause help to cease from every evildoer in your family in Jesus' Name. Before the end of this month, the Lord shall silence whosoever plan to hide your glory and your achievements. The Lord will grant you the grace to live long in good health of mind and body and eat the fruits of your labour in Jesus' Name. Today, I cancel every negative public opinion, either spoken or written against you and your family by the efficacy in the Blood of the Lamb. I declare every handwriting of the wicked working against your family null and void and of no effect in Jesus' Name. AMEN.

FATHER I REFUSE SHAME/DISGRACE

Text : Jeremiah 3:24 KJV

For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.”

MESSAGE
One prayer I usually pray for myself is God don't allow me to see shame or disgrace.

Disgrace is made up of two words: ‘dis’ and ‘gracia’. ‘Dis’ means out of and ‘gracia’ means grace. So, the word disgrace means out of grace. Or rightly put in our modern English, it means loss of honor, loss of respect, loss of good name.

It can also mean to bring shame upon a person. The word shame in the Bible has so many aspects to it. Shame can come as an offence or as a consequence of sin to someone who has done something wrong and has been discovered.

Shame can come as a result of pride or when the reputation of a person has been injured. So, the result of being disgraced is shame. Shame also can come from God. In order to reprove sin, God can allow shame to come upon a person.

Say Lord, please don't allow me and my family to see shame in the name of Jesus.

SOURCES OF SHAME

The Bible makes us to understand that shame can come from God, it can come from satan, and can also come from man.

I Know a pastor who saw shame when a member gave the church he was privileged to be pastoring at that time one million naira for church project, but he diverted the said money for his personal use by acquiring a fairly used camry car.

But, just after a year he bought the car, the whole truth surfaced and he was sacked unceremoniously. I will like you to say again, “I reject every spirit of shame/ disgrace the enemies have assigned against me in the name of Jesus.”

Seeing yourself half dressed or completely naked regularly in the dream should not be treated with kids gloves.

Jeremiah 3: 24 says, “For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.” So, shame can devour the labour of a person.

There was this popular actress many years ago who was forced to leave the shores of Nigeria when her nude pictures was published in a popular newspaper in Nigeria.

This powerful emotion called shame is a great weapon in the hand of the enemy and he likes to use it on people and places. The terrible thing about it is that it hits people from the inside and destroys them internally. It could eat away the strength of the confidence of a person.

It can disable and amputate a person completely and make him ineffective in the service of the Lord. To be mighty in faith and in the Holy Spirit, you must confront the spirit of shame and defeat it.

There was this popular brother I know that had his wedding cancelled just 2 days before the wedding. He slept with his would be bride, and the bride got pregnant in the process.

In a bid to cover their shame; they aborted the pregnancy. So they felt everything has been covered. When the church hospital carried out their own pregnancy test, it was positive.

This brother denied of ever having any canal knowledge of the said sister. After, several tests the sister blood samples were still reading positive. Being a lawyer he threatened to sue the church for defamation of character.

But, the whole truth came out eventually sutfaced after much pressure on the sister. She then confessed to my then senior pastor that indeed the brother ate the forbidden fruit and got her pregnant.

They carried out an evacuation to cover up their tracks, but still the sisters blood sample still returned positive.

KINDS OF SHAME

1 Guilty shame: This happens when a person violates the law of decency and he is embarrassed.

2 Social shame: This kind of shame occurs when a person is embarrassed because he or she made a social blunder.

3 Innocent shame: This happens when a person is accused of an offence he is not guilty of. When somebody’s character is damaged without justifications

4 Public shame: This is embarrassment because of physical or social blunder.

5 Shame of discrimination: When a person feels mentally, socially or ethnically inferior to other persons.

6 Shame of inadequacy: That is when somebody feels inadequate.

7 Shame as a result of the gospel eg persecution.

The shame that comes from God can be handled with God. When we repents the Lord will forgive us and will remove the shame from us

But the shame that the enemy plans must be confronted and dealt with.

HOW TO BE A PERSON OF HONOR

& BE WISE; proverbs 3: 35 says, “The wise shall inherit glory but shame shall be the promotion of fools.” So foolish living and actions that are not. There are certain information that shouldn't be on your phone

& BE DILIGENT: Proverbs 10: 5 says, “He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in a harvest is a son that causeth shame.”

Sleeping during the time of physical or spiritual harvest will bring disgrace. When others are struggling, and you just sit down and take no action, it means you are inviting disgrace upon your life.

& BE HUMBLE: Proverbs 11: 2 says, “When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lonely is wisdom.”

The Bible says that pride brings shame. Proverbs 16: 18 says, “Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

& TRAIN UP YOUR CHILDREN: Proverbs 29: 15 says, “The rod and reproof give wisdom but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.” So, parents who allow their children to do what they like are preparing for shame.

When raising your children learn to call a spade a spade and not a farm tool.

A child you pamper today will tamper with your tomorrow.

&KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS:. Genesis 3: 9 – 10: “And the Lord God called unto Adam and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said I heard thy voice in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked and I hid myself.”

Shame and nakedness could come from sin. Avoid actions that would amputate your good name and rubbish your character.

May shame and disgrace be far from us in Jesus name.
