LUKE 10:19 ‘Behold I give unto you power to thread upon serpent and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, nothing shall by any means hurt you.
DAILY READING Acts 13:26-52; Joshua 20-21; Job 30
The electric stargazers are a family of fish that have eyes on top of their heads, this is why they are called stargazers. Stargazers are ambush predators which are capable of camouflaging themselves. Their usual habit is to hide and bury themselves in the bottom of the sea, until their prey comes along. The body is designed so that the eyes, nostrils, and most of the mouth are above the sand when the fish is hidden. However when they see a prey, with a jolt of electricity from near their eyes, they stun their victim and gobble it up.
An electric stargazer generates its own electric field using a specialized electric organ in its body. They can discharge electricity that is powerful enough to stun a man. They usually do not attack unchecked or unexpected. Stargazer fish will not harm humans unless it is senses a threat. If approached by a diver, it generally will not move unless disturbed. However if it feels threatened, from its poisonous spines, it can discharge electricity up to 50 volts, which is capable of harming humans. Its electricity is used primarily to fend off an attack or aggressive threat.
Night divers are careful to avoid a confrontation with this fish, to avoid being stung with its dangerous and powerful electric shocks. The stargazer is well-armed to protect itself, in addition to discharging volts of electricity, they possess a poisonous venom spine just above the pectoral fins.
For these fishes, they survive through releasing electricity. That is how these fishes are able to fight off danger and protect themselves from predators.
Spiritually, we are in era where we should be equipped to fend off attacks. God has given us the power of the Spirit to dominate our environment. The power of the Holy Spirit, is often likened to electricity. Through releasing a high voltage of the power of The Spirit, we can stun our enemies and be protected from every evil harassment.
Having come into a new year we should be well equipped to overcome every battle that comes our way this year. This is why it is important that we commit to spending quality time in prayer. The truth is that either you pray or you become a prey. There is an enemy going about like a roaring lion looking for who to devour, we must therefore know how to resist him in faith. Any believer who does not know how to fight spiritual battles through God’s power is living dangerously.
To be constantly victorious, we must make a decision to always spend quality time in God’s Word and prayers. That is how we can be equipped to defend ourselves from attacks and fight the good fight of faith. Indeed God has given us everything we need to defeat the enemy’s plots and schemes.
In Luke 10:19, Jesus says ‘’Behold I give unto you power to thread upon serpent and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, nothing shall by any means hurt you.’
Through the power of God we can overcome every force of the enemy. God has given us superior weapons of warfare which are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. We have power through the study of God’s Word, fasting, pray and praise. Indeed through the great display of God’s power every enemy will be defeated and submit to us.
Psalm 66:3 says “Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.”
Indeed in this end time, power is crucial. When God’s power is in place, you’re in charge. When His power is at work in you, you keep reigning!
It is God’s plan to turn us to a wonder to our world this year, but we must take the spiritual responsibility necessary to see its manifestation. Indeed as we begin to pay the spiritual price to manifest God’s power, certainly, we will dominate our environment and truly become signs and wonders to everyone this year.
PRAYER: Lord, please grant me the grace to constantly generate power through maintaining a prayerful lifestyle. Indeed by the greatness of Your power in my life, every enemy of my destiny must bow. Thank You Lord for making me a wonder to my world in Jesus Name.
