Outline
In today’s devotional you shall learn how to attack your oppressors. Many years ago, I read a story about a battle scheduled to take place between the Romans and the British. The British had planned to invade the Romans right from the sea shores, before they had time to work out their strategies.
The Romans too had their own plan, which gave them an upper hand. As soon as they disembarked from the ship that transported them to Britain, they set the ship ablaze. It meant there was no room for turning back; it meant “Onward ever, backward never.” This shocked and amazed the British soldiers and it made them to know that the Romans meant business. This strategy gave the Romans victory over them.
When I was a small boy in the Primary School, our teacher used to give the cane to those who answered questions correctly, to beat those who got them wrong. I used to get the answers correctly, so I always had to beat the others. If anyone was inflicting strokes of the cane and was gentle about it, the teacher would give the person a bitter sample.
I used to suffer for it because after school hours, the pupils that received strokes of the cane from me would gang up against me and beat me up. I then decided to stop answering questions in the class, but I discovered that our teacher would beat everybody and when it was my turn, he would give me more strokes of the cane, saying that I was supposed to know better. I then had to start answering questions again because; it was safer for me.
So, I mapped out a strategy of attack on my oppressors. I got a hot balm in a small tin and when they attacked me again, I applied the balm on my palm and rubbed it on their faces, one after the other. As from that day, they stopped beating me up because they knew that I had a dangerous weapon in my hand.
God shall disgrace your enemies and they shall be scattered according to the Scriptures.
Memory verse
Psalm 89:23“And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.”
Motivational Quote

Today’s Hymn – To God be the glory
1. To God be the glory,
great things He hath done,
So loved He the world that
He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an
atonement for sin,
And open’d that Life
gate that all my go in.
Chorus
Praise that Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
And give Him the glory!
great things, He hath done!
2. O perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood,
To every believer that promise
of God;
The vilest offender who truly
believes
That moment from Jesus a
pardon receives.
3. Great things He hath taught us,
great things He hath done,
And great our rejoicing through
Jesus the Son;
But purer, and higher, and
greater will be,
Our wonder, our transport
when Jesus we see.
MORNING
1. Every serpent and scorpion planted around my life and ministry, catch fire, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every ancestral root of problems in my life, burn to ashes, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every arrow fired at quenching my destiny, go back to your sender, in the name of Jesus.
EVENING
1. Let confusion come upon the camps of my enemies now, in the name of Jesus.
2. No matter the situation I’m facing, I shall become what God has made me to be, in the name of Jesus.
3. Every evil power fighting against my future and glory, fall down and die, in the name of Jesus.
4. By the blood of Jesus, I receive deliverance from every household attack, in the name of Jesus.
