Title: POWER AGAINST THE HIJACKERS OF MY BLESSINGS

INTRODUCTION:
In our Christian journey, we are promised blessings, breakthroughs, and divine favour. Yet, as these blessings are released, the enemy often tries to hijack or delay them, preventing them from reaching us. The Bible reminds us that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Today, we’ll explore how to recognise and confront these “hijackers” of our blessings and use spiritual weapons to reclaim what God has ordained for us.

1. IDENTIFYING HIJACKERS OF BLESSINGS

a) Spiritual Opposition:
Many blessings can be hijacked by spiritual opposition, forces designed to limit or disrupt our breakthrough. Ephesians 6:12 tells us we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces.

b) Human Agents of Hindrance:
Sometimes, individuals can unknowingly or knowingly serve as tools of delay and hindrance in our lives. This could include manipulative people who discourage or bring negativity. God’s Word encourages us to be discerning of such people (Psalm 1:1-3).

c) Generational Curses or Patterns:
Some families face repeated obstacles in specific areas, such as poverty or sickness. These patterns are hijackers that attempt to maintain a stronghold in people’s lives (Exodus 34:7).

d) Personal Doubt and Fear:
The enemy also works by sowing seeds of fear and doubt in our hearts. James 1:6-7 reminds us that doubt can prevent us from receiving God’s best.

Biblical Example: Daniel faced the hijackers of his blessings through jealous colleagues who plotted against him. Yet, God protected and delivered him from their schemes (Daniel 6:1-28).

2. USING SPIRITUAL WEAPONS AGAINST HIJACKERS

a) Prayer as a Weapon:
Just as Paul and Silas prayed in prison and their chains broke (Acts 16:25-26), our prayer life has the power to dismantle spiritual hijackers.

b) Fasting and Consecration:
Fasting brings clarity, and in Mark 9:29, Jesus emphasizes that some forces only respond to prayer and fasting.

c) Faith and Bold Confession:
Speaking words of faith activates God’s power in our lives. Romans 10:10 emphasizes that our confession brings salvation, including deliverance from every hijacker.

d) Praise and Worship:
Praise is a weapon. When the enemy sees us worshiping even amidst struggles, it confuses him. Psalm 22:3 tells us God inhabits our praises.

Biblical Example: When King Jehoshaphat was faced with enemies, he used praise to defeat them (2 Chronicles 20:20-23).

3. STRATEGIC PRAYERS FOR SCATTERING HIJACKERS

a) Commanding Divine Fire:
Calling down God’s fire is a form of judgement upon the enemy. Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal demonstrates the power of God’s fire (1 Kings 18:36-38).

b) Rebuking and Casting Out:
We have authority in Jesus’ name to rebuke and remove obstacles. Mark 11:23 tells us to speak to the mountain.

c) Prayer of Restoration:
After removing hijackers, we pray for restoration. Joel 2:25 promises God will restore the years the locusts have eaten.

d) Prayer of Protection Over Our Blessings:
We cover every blessing with the blood of Jesus, praying for protection against future attempts by the enemy.

Biblical Example: Jabez prayed against hijackers by asking God to enlarge his territory and protect him from evil (1 Chronicles 4:10).

4. LIVING A LIFE THAT ATTRACTS DIVINE PROTECTION AND BLESSINGS

a) Walking in Righteousness:
Righteousness aligns us with God’s blessings and protection (Psalm 5:12).

b) Trusting in God’s Timing:
Even when blessings are delayed, trust that God is in control. Romans 8:28 reminds us all things work together for our good.

c) Staying Connected to the Word of God:
The Word is our shield and strength, a reminder of God’s promises. Psalm 119:11 encourages us to keep God’s Word close to guard our blessings.

d) Being Faithful in Tithing and Giving:
Tithing and giving invite God’s protection over our finances and blessings (Malachi 3:10-11).

Biblical Example: Abraham’s obedience attracted divine blessings and God’s promise of protection over his family (Genesis 12:1-3).

CONCLUSION:
We have been given authority to scatter every hijacker of our blessings by fire. Stand firm and use the power of prayer, praise, and faith to reclaim all that belongs to you. The God who delivered Daniel, Paul, and Jehoshaphat will also deliver you. May every obstacle in your path be scattered by God’s fire!
