Topic: Territorial Spirit
Text: Daniel 10:10-13

The kingdom of darkness is well-organized one. The devil has appointed territorial spirits over communities, nations and continents. There is a demon overseeing every country. All the governments put in place are controlled by his demon. This is clearly highlighted in out text. We are facing a two-pronged attack: political and ecclesiastical. The enemies of the gospel have tremendous resources at their disposal. They have economic power. The government controls the economy, the police the army. The enemy would do everything possible to hinder the advancement of the Kingdom of God on earth.

We cannot afford to trifle with the fortunes of the Kingdom. We cannot afford to be weak spiritually. How are we going to defeat these forces that have both economic and political power? How are we going to defeat our Goliath with an ordinary sling and a stone? We all pray that our nation must be saved. Are we going to do it with five minute prayers? We have to take the whole world for Jesus, including predominantly Islamic nations. Obviously, we cannot do this by joking. We are the people that God will use. It is unreasonable for us to go about chasing rats where are lions and elephants to be conquered. II Timothy 2:3 says: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” There is no room for fooling around when talking about winning the nations of the world for Christ. I know God will use me. In fact, there is no going back. It is too late for any of us to go back. If you are afraid, you can step aside.

You must remember Gideon’s army in the Book of Judges. God told Gideon to tell those who were afraid to go back. 22,000 men beat a retreat. God said even the remainder were too many. Only 300 men won the battle. We must stand and face the enemy. We are sure of victory. Tell God that you are ready so that He will empower you to go along with Him. Ask Him to give you the anointing to deal with territorial spirit.
