The Leverage Devotional by Apostle Segun Obadje 23 FEBRUARY 2024: Dominion Through the Finished Works of Christ
15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”
19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
Leverage Devotional For Today Message:
Jesus was never at any point in time subject to the devil in His earthly walk. He went about doing good and casting out devils (Acts 10:38; Matthew 8:16-17). The devil and all his cohorts were subject to Him. With His Word, He hushed screaming devils and cast them out. No devil had his way with Jesus. Therefore, He did not die on the cross and was raised from the dead to have authority over demons. He already had it before His death and resurrection. It was for man that He died, and He defeated the devil to restore Adam’s lost authority. He redeemed Adam’s lost authority and gave it back to man in His Name (Mark 16:16-17). Just as it is in the game of soccer where a player on the bench comes in as a substitute for another on the field of play, so Jesus took our place as our Substitute. He defeated the devil and all the host of demons for us to take His victory. The Word declares: “And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). Jesus spoiled (disarmed, neutralised) principalities and powers, triumphing over them for us. Hallelujah! Jesus took our place on the cross and gave us the victory.
Through redemption, Jesus gave us victory over the devil. The Word declares: “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Beloved, through Jesus’ death on the cross, He has disarmed the devil; He has stripped him of all his authority or right to harm man. This is an amazing discovery from God’s Word. The whole world must hear of this victory for humanity. Many are afraid of the devil because they haven’t yet come into the knowledge of this glorious gospel of Christ. Beloved, take your place in Christ’s victory over the devil for you. Use the name of Jesus to put the devil to flight and he will undoubtedly flee from you.
MY SOLID FRONT (CONFESSION)
Heavenly Father, I thank You for I have victory over the devil and his cohorts. He has been defeated and now I have the right to cast him out in Jesus’ Name. AMEN.
Further Meditation:James 4:7; Galatians 5:1; II Corinthians 5:17-18
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
