The Phaneroo Devotion: The Message That Prevails
Apostle Grace Lubega
Matthew 16:18 (KJV): “And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
—
As the Church of Christ, we have a blessed assurance from the Lord. This assurance is that as we advance against the forces of darkness, the gates of hell shall not prevail against us.
In Genesis 22:17AMP, the Bible says, “…your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies [by conquering them].”
In Luke 8:11, the scripture explains the mystery of the seed and says it is the Word of God. The promise is that the Word must prevail against the gates of the enemy. This means that the message we minister must propel believers into claiming their victory against the works of darkness.
Sadly, however, there is a message that leaves Christians as potential victims of the enemy, constantly under attack and on the run from the evil one.
But we have been called to preach a message that causes them to stand firm and reveal the greatness of God within them.
When the Church preaches a gospel that opens the eyes of believers to who they are in Christ, they prevail. When Christians are taught that greater is He that is in them than he that is in the world, no power in hell can withstand them. When the children of God are awakened to the realities of the life they have in the Lord, that kind of message causes them to triumph. Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: When the Church preaches a gospel that opens the eyes of believers to who they are in Christ, they prevail. When Christians are taught that greater is He that is in them than he that is in the world, no power in hell can withstand them. When the children of God are awakened to the realities of the life they have in the Lord, that kind of message causes them to triumph.
PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank You for this Word. Thank You for the power of truth and how it strengthens me. I know who I am, and whose I am. This knowledge causes me to stand strong in every season of life and never give the enemy a foothold. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
