ANCIENT GATES

Dismantling ancient gates

Gates are very significant in life. There are spiritual gates just as we have physical gates. A gate is a passage; it could also mean a barrier. The Bible talks about different kinds of gates. There is the city gate, there is the palace gates as we see in Ester 5:13. There is also a house gate as we see in the case of Lazarus in Lk. 16:20. Again, Acts 3:2 talks about a church gate and very importantly, there is a gate to your life. If the gate to a man’s life is shut, he will experience nothing significant, but if the gate is opened it causes men to release blessings unto him and even kings will be compelled to favour him. May the gate of your life remain opened to your helpers continually in Jesus’ name.


There are spiritual gates that God uses to bring divine protection to the life of a man. In Mal. 3:10-12, God talks about opening the windows of heaven and this implies that there must be a gate. Psa. 118:19 also talks about the gate of righteousness, this is the gate of the Lord. Gen. 3:24 tells us that there is the gate of Eden where God placed the Cherubim after Adam and Eve were driven out of the garden. Eden signifies God’s presence and could also mean your place of treasure. May God mount angels at the gate of your Eden to guide your treasures in Jesus’ name.




The devil also has gates and these are spiritual. One of them is the gate of hell. Matthew 16:18 says the gate of hell shall not prevail against the church of Christ. There is also the gate of death, but our focus here is on Ancient gates. These are gates that have been in existence before you were born. They have been there even before your fathers were born and for every gate, there is a gatekeeper. These gates are erected to keep you from achieving your purpose.


Our Bible text, Psa. 24:6-10 says there is a generation that seeks the face of God to effect positive changes from the negative patterns that have been operational in their family line. These are those who dare to challenge the evil powers in operation in order to collect what their fathers could not access. I decree to you, in your time you shall gain access through the ancient gates and they will have no choice, but to be lifted up. The evil gatemen that want to challenge you will be knocked out totally in Jesus’ name.


Sometimes you discover in life that when you get to a certain stage you begin to suffer stagnation, the ancient gates could be responsible. This explains why some people rise and fall, never to rise up again. When these gates are in operation it can bring some negative patterns financially, martially and even spiritually in a family. In some cases, they can experience a particular sickness. Note that these gates exist in the lives of individuals, in families and even communities.


A lady who had suffered several disappointments in relationships said no marriage had even been officially conducted in her family. Several times, she will have suitors come to her family for a formal introduction, but she had an evil uncle who comes to welcome them with a counterfeit naira note unknown to everyone. Once this is done, the suitors never return for the next stage of the marriage rites. This also happened to other members of her family. Marriage was contraband in her family. I pray that every gatekeeper preventing good things from coming to you may they fall down and die in Jesus’ name.

STRANGE SPIRITS

 Ibru Ecumenical Centre   Dealing with strange battles – Part I By John Okene 01 August 2021   |   3:11 am Okene Text: Eph. 6:12; 1Cor. 15:32 The word strange in this context refers to something odd, weird or queer. Strange battles mean battles that are unfamiliar, we are not used to them and don’t even understand them. It is like wrestling with shadows as we see in Eph. 6:12. The victims of such battles do not know why, how and when it started or they got engaged in it. In 1Cor. 15:32, Apostle Paul talks about fighting with a beast. This can be referred to as wicked and strange powers. There are no words to describe them because their modus operandi is beastly. I remember some years ago while I was handling the deliverance case of a parishioner, as I took time one night as usual to study and pray, I had a strange revelation. The heaven was opened and I saw a ladder extending down with a strange figure descending. This certainly was the second heaven, ...

ANI BONE ( EVIL EYE POWERS)

SPIRITUS ON ANI BONE Evil eye occult Evil eye , glance believed to have the ability to cause injury or death to those on whom it falls; pregnant women, children, and animals are thought to be particularly susceptible. Belief in the evil eye is ancient and ubiquitous; it occurred in ancient  Greece  and  Rome , in  Jewish ,  Islamic ,  Buddhist , and  Hindu  traditions, and in  indigenous , peasant, and other  folk societies , and it has persisted throughout the world into modern times. Those most often accused of casting the evil eye include strangers, malformed individuals, childless women, and old women. The power of the evil eye is sometimes held to be involuntary; a Slavic folktale, for example, relates the story of a father afflicted with the evil eye who blinded himself in order to avoid injuring his own children. More frequently, however,  malice  toward and envy of prosperity and beauty are tho...

VILLAGE SPIRITS

 Ibru Ecumenical Centre   Dealing with village spirits By John Okene 17 October 2021   |   2:25 am Rev. John Okene Two of Jesus’ disciples were sent into the village of Bethphage to untie a donkey at a T-Junction. Bible scholars say that the two donkeys were an ass and a colt, which symbolises a mother and her child tied down at the entrance of the village. This explains how some people are tied spiritually in the village, while they struggle in the city to enter their breakthrough. Again, these donkeys were tied at a T-Junction, which represents an evil altar. They were destined great and were meant to be celebrated in the city, yet tied down in the village. The disciples sent to loosen the donkey were challenged by the men who kept watch over the donkey. I pray for you that every power questioning your freedom in life will be silenced permanently and may God visit your village and undo whatever had been done against you in Jesus name. There are evil ...
