Topic: Enemies Of Progress

Text: Luke9:9

There is one thing that I have discovered and that is the fact that Satan has tried to create men that think like him, men that carry the mind that he carries, men that carry the heart he carries knowing well what the bible says in Phil 2:5-10 and when Satan saw this scripture, he decided to turn the heart of men around. I have come to discover that there are people who see you buy a new car and they just hate you for nothing, they see you progress and their hatred for you increases, they see you erect a building and they begin to gossip and tell lies about you but the bible says in Isa 48:22 “there is no peace, saith the Lord to the wicked. I don’t know who has said that he/she will not sleep until your children end up in an untimely grave, I don’t know who has stood on his two feet to make a declaration that nothing good will come forth out of your family and I don’t know who has visited a herbalist to make an enchantment that will confuse and construct your life in the way that God has not planned it; I came with the voice of thunder to make a prophetic declaration upon the life of someone reading this article, this month, God will sentence them to death. There are those who have sat down in shrines to discuss how peoples’ children will be submitted to untimely graves but the bible says in Lam 3:37 “who is he that saith, and it cometh to pas when the Lord commanded it not”. It does not matter the decree that has been made, for the bible says in Num23:23a “Surely there is no enchantment against neither is there divination against Israel”. In v20, it says “Behold I have received a commandment to bless: whom God hath blessed, let no man reverse it”. Maybe your star is the reason why they are after you but they have forgotten that the heaven is his throne and the earth his footstool; Maybe its your glory they saw that make them come after you but the forgot that “the step of the righteous are ordered by the Lord. There is a child of God reading this article, I prophecy you will escape them this year, you will escape accident, you will escape premature death. The bible says in Ps 34:19-20 “For many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivered them from the all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

               From the text, Herod said “who is this of whom I hear such things”. In other words, I beheaded the one I heard of before, who is this one that I do not know? There are certain people who see a man rising and want to kill him, all they want to do is eat flesh and drink blood. Some people are afraid to go home not because they don’t want to but because of enemies of progress. Certain men of high social status are afraid to go home. The last one that had a billion in his account and wanted to do something tangible in his community has suddenly become a beggar. I went to a program I Warri to preach. I prophesied by the Spirit of God and called out a man who worked at NTA plus in Lagos as a manager. He came to Warri for his father’s burial. When they were through with the burial that day, he went to sleep and woke up the next morning blind. A blind man cannot be the manager of NTA plus. WHY? Enemies of Progress! They are everywhere even in government that’s why you need to spot them and annihilate them. Somebody takes up an axe and butchers a fellow human being as a means of counting scores but they have forgotten that God cannot be mocked; whatsoever a man sow, that he shall reap.

               I was preaching in Irrua, Edo state and I meant a man and spoke to him by the spirit of God. I called the name of his car and the plate number and he confirmed that it was his own. His car was being used to pack things to the coven. I knew someone who had cars in his compound. At night, the cars will start revising by themselves. How can these be explained? Enemies Of Progress. They may not like the way you walk, but they cannot break your legs; they may not like your facial construction but they cannot stop your smile. I prophesy upon anyone reading this article; anyone that is standing as an enemy and does not like your progress, they will die for you to progress.

HOW DO YOU DISCONNECT FROM ENEMIES OF PROGRESS?

If you read the verse 10 of our text, you discover that when Jesus heard that Herod was looking for him, he took his disciples and went into the desert.

1 the first thing I saw there is that anyone that wants to last must avoid unnecessary battles. If it were some people, when Herod said “I have killed John and I am still looking for this person”, they would come for the fight because they feel they have been ordained or are spiritually matured enough hence must fight. But Jesus was wise. There are some things you should escape from doing. Your continuous visit to the village is uncalled for. There are people who whenever they attain any new level in life, the first point of call is the village. Jesus had the authority to confront Herod but with wisdom, he avoided him.
