GLOBAL PRAYER AND FASTING DAY 124TH JULY 2025

REV CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC DSC DD

I want to welcome you to today's programs we are fasting today, we are doing the same tomorrow. This is a special fasting and praying for the Month of July. It's not fasting and prayer towards the month but in that month and for the purpose of keeping our world where it should be in God's timeline. Effecting God's will around the world. That's our responsibility as God's church. 

1 Sam 15:21-23
To obey is better than Sacrifice. 
Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. 
That's interesting. 
Disobedience produces rebellion. To disobey is to exercise rebellion. 
He is dealing with how things work in the Kingdom of God. He's dealing with Spiritual things. 
Here, he uses a term for witchcraft which specifically refers to divination which God said Not to do. 
What's interesting about that is, He uses another term there.

2 Chronicles 33:1-6
It's terrible what this man did. He brought his idolatry even into God's house. 
V6: This time, another Hebrew word is used for Witchcraft that is broader than the first one. It primarily means, "Whispering a spell".
It means that Witchcraft can be practiced in several ways apart from Divination. 
It's all about the work of demons 
Whispering a spell: through words sending demons. They come to the individual as thoughts. Words are thoughts clothed in vocabulary. 
Demons can be sent as spells. That's how people are attacked through witchcraft. 
It takes the discerning power of God's spirit to discern those things that are of God and those that are not. Not every thoughts originates from you or from God. That's how deception comes sometimes. That's how they are misled. 

Galatians 3:1-
Look at the relationship between witchcraft and the lack of Obedience. 
"Who cast the spell on you to cause you not to obey the truth?"
People can be misled.

Rebellion and stubbornness are related. When you rebel, get corrected and won't follow the correction, you are stubborn. Sustained rebellion is stubborness. 
Idolatry means you  esteem or worship yourself as God and will not listen to correction. You are practicing idolatry when you will not listen to correction. 

This is very important because we wrestle not against flesh and blood...(Ephesians 6:12)
We have to realize that we are dealing in a spiritual world. So, not every thought is a thought by itself. Some are spells sent by the devil (generic expression referring to demons of darkness and their agents. Even human agents). Sometimes people lured to disobey the truth, hate others and try to destroy them one way or another.

Example: in where we read (2 Chro 33:6) where he uses "Kasap" in the Hebrew which means to whisper a spell..
What does the Bible say about one who whispers?
Proverbs 16:28 KJV. ....A whisperer separated chief friends. 
The word "talebearer" wasn't used here. There is something about whispering and witchcraft. You can separate friends by whispering a spell. It's not mere talebearing. There is a demonic activity there. 
Divisions are the trademark of witchcraft. They cause divisions in homes, spouses, childrenfrom their parents, siblings, leaders of communities, leaders of Nations. 
A thought comes to you and you think you are meditating. It suggests what to do and say. If you don't subject that thought to God's word, and act on it, the next thing you know you will have division and separation 

Today, I want us to pray against the work of witchcraft around the world.
Manyare in situations they never expected to be in. 
They are holding on to thoughts that they believe their intelligence of that God gave to them, but they are being foolish.
God's word instructs and guides us to do things that please the Lord. 

Pray against the work of witchcraft in families, communities nations. 

(Prayer session)

It's very important that God's people understand what the word says. 
Through the knowledge of God's word, you are able to pray correctly and ensure that Satan is not controlling your life. 

Galatians 5:19
"the works of the flesh". Talking about when you ar

e guided by your senses, instead of being guided by the spirit of God. The senses are the intelligence of the flesh. 
What your mind is to your spirit, your brain and senses are to your body. They bring information to your body. They tell your body what they see, smell, taste, feel, etc. Your body reacts based on its interpretation of the information provided by your senses. 
He shows you the works of the flesh. Witchcraft is a work of the flesh. 
Witchcraft in the Greek comes from the world Pharmakeia. All those times you were being a house doctor, prescribing things... you were practicing witchcraft. Imagine what it's listed with. A synonym for that is Sorcery. 

I remember sharing with you the realtionship and connection between Pharmakeia and Witchcraft...right from Genesis. So that you can understand the work of Satan in our world

God wants his children walking in Love and in Grace. Walking in the truth... Not your feelings
 Or what you were told by this and that person. Why do you have wars in the world? It all depends on what the leaders say to themselves and decide. 
The soldiers don't go to war just because they feel like doing it. It comes back to the leaders. 
Think about how few individuals have led to the deaths of millions because they were loved by demons that sowed thoughts in their minds. 
It doesn't matter that you are a leader in a home of a few people or a leader of a community of a few hundreds or of thousands, or the governor of a state or a president..you are still a man or woman that can be influenced by spirits, good or bad. And you'd better choose who influences you..whether God or Satan.
That's why you have to be educated in the things of God otherwise you will be listening to demons.
This is one of the major reason we pray for leader. 
1 Tim 2:1-4
We are to pray for all men and their leaders.
If we want the result of a quiet and peacable life, we've got to pray. Or else, there will be no peace  (in your home, the schools, your estate, your state etc) 
It takes the grace of God to guide people into the knowledge of the truth, else they will be in deception without knowing what they are doing. 

Tomorrow, pray a lot against these works of deception.
