Sunday Sermon with Apostle Chisale
Greetings beloved nation in the name of Jesus Christ. In 2021 there are things that we need to break and disconnect ourselves from because we cannot afford to experience the same problems that we experienced last year without elevation as individuals or as a nation.
Satan has already released weapons that weary people and it looks like many people are discouraged. There is a lot of weariness because of the Covid-19 pandemic. People have lost their faith and have forgotten how to pray properly.
All these are weapons that the devil is using to attack God’s people. The enemy will not attack you where there is no prophetic word upon your life and upon the nation. Some of you have made powerful prayers about your life and your destiny and you realise that you are encountering certain attacks. Then you begin to ask if God is really there.
Especially with this pandemic people are asking where God is. God is alive and still enthroned. He is looking for you and I to arise and start to pray against this pandemic that the devil has released upon the earth.
God wants to co-operate with us in prayer because prayer is one of the vehicles that God uses to heal his people. If there is a man to pray, there is a God in Heaven to answer. God will not do anything on earth unless men pray. The devil knows that because of your testimony of victory, millions of people will come to the Lord Jesus Christ. People’s faith will be raised, so he makes sure that he fights you. We have to know that Satan is not omnipresent like God, but he can sense and see through nature. He can see through creation and through angels that there is a bigger visitation that is coming to your life and he fights your blessing. Remember Satan was once an angel, he knows when there is going to be angelic activity. When he sees that, he sends all sorts of missiles and distractions upon you.
When a child of God prays and fasts, upon coming from a place of talking to God, the first thing you meet is the devil.
Remember when Jesus was on the mountain of prayer, the first thing that appeared to him was the devil. When there is something of value stored for you, the devil will try everything to distract you. The devil will send in people that you have been trusting to betray you, the people that you say are close to you change and become like Joseph’s brothers. They will betray you and sell you out because the devil would have seen that there is a breakthrough. God wants us to own things and He wants us to have results. You need results in your life so that you know that Jesus is alive. If results are not seen in God’s people, some people will start mocking God.
There are certain mysteries that as individuals or corporately we must activate so that these results manifest. Last year some people got sick, died, lost jobs and worse some lost their faith and no longer pray like they used to. All these were the devil’s strategies to disturb you so that when God comes to bless you, you are found in the wrong place. When God is about to do something in your life or nation, it looks like hell. You will be fought and insulted. I believe there is a revival that is coming to the nations of the world and that we need to prepare for the coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s pray that as we continue in 2021, the devil will find us well prepared for the battles and not caught by surprise.
In this pandemic period we need what is called divine intervention. If there is no divine intervention in a Christian’s life you will die like a chicken. The reason why we need divine intervention is because we are humans, so we need a supernatural power that will back our lives, catapult us, speed up our lives and bring restoration. You can be born again but still remain the same without progress in your life. This is because of the absence of divine intervention. As individuals and as a nation we need divine intervention because in this world there are demons that are assigned to destroy destinies of people or nations. They can cause people to forget you, your application or business deal. They cause premature death, anti-marriage spirits, divorces, accidents and people to fight you. They can cause you to be lazy to pray and study the word of God. They operate in the first and second heavens. They can stop your progress in life. This is because of the absence of divine intervention.
Divine intervention is a mystery we have to activate upon our lives, as a church and as a nation. Divine intervention brings favour. With divine intervention Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were going to be roasted to ashes by fire which was increased seven times but lost its power to consume them because of divine intervention in Daniel 3:19-24, “ . . . he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was to be heated. 20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 22 and the furnace exceeding hot, the flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.” Even lions failed to consume Daniel because of divine intervention.
What is divine intervention? It is when God intervenes in a situation which you have no power over or where there is no one to help you. Let’s pray that we will never be eaten by lions or consumed by fire in 2021 because these fires can burn your wallet, your house, your destiny. We see in the book of Kings people were eating babies because of the famine, most people had given up to the point where they considered themselves useless until there was a divine intervention after the pronouncement of Elijah. If you don’t depend on God you will always be at the bottom and if you place your eyes on men you will be disappointed. The Bible says “cursed are those who put their trust in men”.
You only have to depend on God. He is the only one who can turn things to your favour in this world. You have to aim high, trust God, believe his word and not trivialise it. If there are no results, you will become a mockery to the devil. There must be a sign that there is a God in Heaven. The only thing that will bring a breakthrough in your life or nation is the mystery called divine intervention.
It will bring certain delays into speed. God can compress things you missed in seven years into a day, that is called divine intervention. It is written in scripture that a city can be built in a day because of divine intervention. If you don’t seek divine intervention you will easily give up and end up insulting God.
