Heavens Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
Memorise: And
they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony:
and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11
Read: 2 Kings 1:9-12
God is the Father of lights according to James 1:17 and
Himself is said to be light in 1 John 1:5. Light is one of the few things used
in describing the essence of God in scripture. A study of white light therefore
should give us tremendous insight to who God is (with white connoting the purity
of God). From physics we understand that when white light is passed through a
glass prism, the white will be divided into the seven colours of the rainbow.
The seven colours were encapsulated in the white light and each is indicative
of the essence of white light. We will take a look at the colours individually.
Red is the colour of blood. Red stands for life because the
life of animals is their blood (Leviticus 17:11). Red also stands for
salvation. 1 John 1:7 says the blood of Jesus cleanses from the stains of sin.
Red equally stands for deliverance because Revelation 12:11 shows you can
overcome by the blood of the Lamb; and Exodus 12:13 says as long as the blood
is there, you will escape the evil projected against you. So it is the colour
of victory. Fire also is red and it stands for purification.
Malachi 3:2-4 says the Lord is like a refiner's fire and
that the ones God will accept must first be purified. For this reason God promises to baptise His
children with theHoly Ghost and fire. No purification, no divine acceptance.
Fire is also an agent of destruction. Have you been tied up by Satanic forces
but you are sure you are born again and baptised with the Holy Spirit? Those
things tying you now shall be roasted in Jesus name. When they bundled and
threw the Hebrew trio into Nebuchadnezzar's burning fiery furnace in Daniel
3:22-25, it was the rope that bound them that got burnt. The fire of the Spirit
is meant to destroy selectively. It burns enemies and every gadget enemies are
using against God's children. This season, every instrument, rope, cage,
monitoring gadgets and weapons the enemies are using against you, your family
or destiny shall be roasted by the fire of the Holy Ghost in Jesus name. In 2
Kings 1:9-12, when some sets of soldiers came to arrest Elijah, he simply asked
the fire of the Holy Ghost to do its work. In the name of Jesus, as you walk
with the Holy Spirit, every satanic agent sent to arrest you shall be roasted.
ACTION POINT:
Father, release afresh the fire of the Holy Spirit upon
every department of my life.
