MESSAGE OF THR MONTH
Rev Chris Oyakhilome Dsc Dsc DD
Psalm 82:1-8
These are 8 verses from one of the psalms of Asaph, a prophet.
Several of his Psalms were given to us as scripture. That's remarkable!
From these 8 verses certain things immediately come to light.
First thing, At the end, we find Asaph was prophesying. He makes a prayer to God on the basis of the revelation given to him from verse 1-7
.
Secondly, 'the gods' referred to were human beings not angelic beings. Angels don't die.
God was talking to human beings.
Reading into verse 6, we remember Jesus quoting this verse in John 10V34-36
Jesus says that God refered to those whom he called Judges, as gods.
Though they were men, He called them gods because he raised them to be Judges.
(82:2)
They accepted and conferred honor on people whom they knew were wicked.
It's like knowing a politician is wicked and evil and recommend him as your friend for people to vote for him.
That's judging unjustly and accepting the person of the wicked.
V3-4: That is your responsibility and you've got to do it. He appointed you a Judge to deliver the poor and needy from the wicked.
V5. Because they don't understand this, things are going bad in the earth.
Prophet Asaph now takes the message beyond the nation of Israel to the whole world.
( See John 5:22.)
V8: Asaph is calling on God to Judge all nations...
Now Jesus comes in and says the Father doesn't Judge. Now the Son has the responsibility to Judge..... But Jesus, when he ascended, gave authority to his church.
Matthew 28:19
Not one of the Pharaohs or Nebuchadnezzar's had authority in Heaven and Earth.... Only Jesus did.
He gave us his name to use. So today Asaph's prayer has been answered.
Mark 16:15
(Preaching the gospel to every creature is more than preaching to souls)
Why should we cast out demons?
Because they are responsible for most of the evil things that happen in the world.
That's why Jesus said we should first cast out demons. He gave us authority over demons and evil spirits to cast them out.
1 Corinthians 6:1
V1 (he knows the law is unjust)
V2- The world will be Judged by us. He calls us saints. He is referring to the judgement of the last days.
V3- We will judge angels. Even in the future, he has already appointed us to be the Judges. We will judge the world and we will judge angels.
We operate a spiritual kingdom now! Today!!!
And we can exercise authority over these evil forces and demand that they desist from the evil manipulations of leaders. Pray for your country. Pray for your city. Take actions.
We can use the name of the Lord Jesus and take authority over them.
Utter words. These words have power in the realms of the spirit. We can use the mighty name of Jesus and break Satan's power over men's lives.
(Prayer session)

Whatever is born of God is victorious against the world.
This month we will walk in victory by the power of the holy ghost.
