Chapter 2 Satan get Lost by Bishop David Oyedepo

                                                           Chapter 2

Jesus Fixed Him! Friend, you can live a devil-free life! Jesus settled that.
Way back in Genesis, God said:"And I will put enmity between thee and the 

woman, and between thy seed andher seed; and it shall bruise thy (Satan’s) head..."
Genesis 3:15 Bless God it happened!
The greatest event in world history is the drama at Calvary, where Jesus, the Son
of the Most High, died. It was a time when the most unusual things (both
physically and spiritually) happened. It was the tragedy of all ages, but much more, 

it was the deliverance and absolute emancipation of the world from the bondage of Satan.
More things happened on the cross than most people know. As Jesus hung on the
cross, great things began to happen in the realm of the spirit. He took the place of
man in sin, sickness, poverty, death, and every evil thing in the world. He was
God’s sacrificial lamb for man’s redemption from the hands of the chief slave
master, the devil.

Jesus did not only carry our sins on Himself, He also carried the whole world’s
diseases and sicknesses, He carried all pains and afflictions. Every evil thing in
this world was laid on Him (Isaiah 53:4-5).
When Jesus said "It is finished" in John 19:30, He finished your battles against
sin, difficulties and every evil. Jesus Went To Hell Yes, He did! He met the devil on

 his own very ground.
It is a basic spiritual law that if any is found with sin at death, he must go to hell
(Ezekiel 18:4; Luke 16:22-23). So as soon as Jesus took on your sin and my sin,
it became imperative that He should go to hell, else the deliverance of the world
would not have been complete. Isaiah 53:9 confirms this:
"And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death."
Peter also confirmed this in Acts 2:25-27:
"For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face,
for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: therefore did my heart
rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy
One to see corruption."
If Jesus did not go to hell, then we would still have had to go there, because it
would have meant that His sacrifice did not cover that area. His presence there
was part of the divine assignment. He went there and finished the work.
It was in hell that Jesus cemented our victory and sealed the devil’s doom of
defeat. He took the keys to hell and death and rose victoriously! (Revelation
1:18).

There He spoilt, defeated and stripped principalities and powers of all their
power. Before this time, the devil had the power (key) of death. But when Jesus
entered hell, He fixed the devil for good and destroyed all his powers! (Hebrews
2:14).
"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly,
triumphing over them in it."
Colossians 2:15
Jesus did a very neat job! He finished everything as is written of Him and rose
triumphantly. This is the springboard for our victory over Satan. Jesus fixed
Satan!
He took you out of the house of bondage and brought you into life (John 10:10b).
He restored you as God’s man on the earth. Jesus restored everything that man
lost in the garden of Eden. He has put all things into your hand.
The victory is total - spirit, soul and body.
"...but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us."
Hebrews 9:12
It was a perfect job (Hebrews 10:12,14). Jesus now has the key of David that
opens and no man can shut, and shuts and no man can open (Revelation 3:8).
Having thus lost every bit of power to our Lord Jesus Christ through the drama at
Calvary, Satan is now left with nothing! No power is left for the devil.
Romans 13:1 says: "There is no power but of God" and Psalm 62:11
corroborates this truth saying:
"God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God."
Thus, the devil is a toothless bulldog. He has nothing legally with which to hurt
you.

Walk In This Truth
There are many Christians, even ministers of the gospel, who don’t know this
amazing truth of Satan’s total defeat. Consequently, there are lots of demoncasting,
deliverance specialists.
The devil, as far as I’m concerned, is the most unrecognised personality in any
place where I am. Nobody takes any notice of him nor gives him any attention
whatsoever. This is because I know and walk in the truth and reality of what
Jesus has accomplished for me.
In the face of this truth, there is no powerful witch, nor any powerful occultist, as
far as I’m concerned. I have trodden upon witches and wizards, and I am still
treading upon them. I don’t bother to pray about them when I go to sleep. I sleep
so soundly that not even the sound of a telephone can wake me up!
I have seen so many people today, weakened, battered and beaten because of the
fake picture they have about the devil. Preachers of such falsehood don’t last.
But when you contact the truth, you keep on increasing.
The number one result of the death and resurrection of Jesus was the seizure of
power, not only on the earth, but also in heaven. Jesus boldly declared in
Matthew 28:18:
"All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
All powers now reside in one man and His name is JESUS.
Walk in this settled truth! Despise any theory that says there is any power
anywhere else that can stop you from doing what God has sent you to do or be.
That’s why Jesus confidently told us, "Go ye therefore and teach all
nations..." (Matthew 28:19).
This "devil this, devil that" mentality, has robbed many of a great destiny.

All power in heaven and on earth has been given unto you. They’re no longer
with any witch, wizard, occultist or government. From now on, any time the
devil sticks out his neck, tell him, "Stop faking, you don’t have it!"
It’s time to get the devil out of your mentality completely. Jesus has stripped him
naked of all powers!
In the Word of God, the only thing mentioned about the devil is his defeat. So he
is not your problem. The Bible says he roars like a lion. But he’s not one. Don’t
get carried away with all his tricks.
Many people, when they pray, even believe that the devil will hinder their
prayers from being answered. This is not possible in these New Testament days.
It’s time to be free! Wherever light is, darkness checks out. When you turn on the

light switch at home in the night, do you need to pray for darkness to go?
I have never had to sweat on any deliverance case, all based on this truth. The
devil and I cannot be struggling. There is no place in the Bible where Jesus
settled down in a discussion with the devil for anything, in the name of casting
out devils. I pity preachers who squeeze people’s necks and hands in the name of
deliverance. It is not scriptural!

I once had a friend, who one day, came to my place and started looking all
around as if to smell a devil. I quickly told him, "There is no devil in this house,
and if there is any, you brought it with you. So carry it and go with it." He left
and that was the end of our friendship.
People who see nothing but the devil in everything look ugly. You can’t befriend
the devil and look neat. Friend, it is time to become power-conscious in our walk 

with God. Know that the greater power dwells in you. Therefore, give yourself a sense

 of superiority over the cruel forces of Satan, the enemy

Chapter 1 Satan get Lost By Bishop David Oyedepo

                                                           Satan - The Enemy


It is important for you to know who your enemy is. The common thing people

think and say in the world today, is that they are being troubled by one kind
of bad luck that was transferred to them from their ancestors.

Some claim that their own problem in life is one old woman (popularly known to
be a witch) in their village. Others yet have some strange opinions and ideas
about their situations. They always try to explain the sources of their problems.
But the Bible has made it clear who your enemy is:
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour."1 Peter 5:8
Your enemy is the devil! Not that witch, nor that herbalist, nor that colleague in
your office. No! It is the devil. Many people find it difficult to believe this truth.

Their minds have been so programmed to believe that some people are responsible

for their problems. The point is that the devil will want to keep you from identifying

him as your enemy, because he knows that the moment you do, the battle is as good
as won. Some people are even deceived into believing that God is the cause of their
problems and misfortunes!

God is not your enemy. If you’re born again, God is your Father, and His
thoughts for you are thoughts of good, never of evil (Jeremiah 29:11). God is
always programming good and success for you. Believe this!
The devil is the enemy. He keeps accusing you before God. He has sworn that
nothing will go well with you. He does not want to see you progress. He wants to
ruin your business. He is always mounting pressures on you, just to keep you
away from God. He is not interested in anything good coming your way. His
thoughts towards you are completely and continually evil!
Just as God is light, so is Satan the devil, darkness. Just as there is no darkness in
God, so there is no light in the devil. He is complete and absolute darkness!
(Isaiah 60:2a).

I want you to realise the level of hatred the devil has for you. He has no atom of
love for you! He is your archenemy, ever waging war against you. So, human
beings are not your enemies (Ephesians 6:11).
The devil has continually used this lie to blind the eyes of many, disorganising
and disintegrating homes and families. The husband thinking his wife is the
major reason for his setbacks, while the wife harbours the destructive conviction
that her husband is her greatest problem.
That’s the devil at work! He perpetuates his evils through his agents whom the
Bible calls "principalities and powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and
spiritual wickedness in high places" (Ephesians 6:13). These are not human
beings. Stop looking at human beings as your problem! Get hold of the truth
that Satan, the devil, is the enemy. It will change your whole outlook and you will
 be able to channel your spiritual energy in the right direction.

Why Did God Create The Devil?

Many keep asking this question, sometimes in their hearts, sometimes openly.
Why did God create such an enemy to trouble you, you may have wondered?
Friend, the truth is that, God did not create Satan as a devil in the beginning. God
created him perfect in beauty. He had tremendous glory in heaven. In fact, he
was the highest in the hierarchy of angels. He had the unique assignment of
covering God’s throne.

See what Ezekiel 28:12-15 says:
"Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him,
Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in
beauty. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship
of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast
created. Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou
wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst
of the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee."
He became Satan, the devil, when iniquity was found in him. He was
consequently cast out of heaven. It took violence to eject him. He was forced out
and cast into the earth (Revelation 12:7-9).
From then on, he made up his mind to fight against God, always pitching his tent
against God and His people. That is why he is your enemy. Check the scriptures -
he has always been at variance with God’s plan. He went into the garden of
Eden, tempted Adam and Eve and caused them to rebel against God
He corrupted the world till it became so evil that God had to destroy it (Genesis
6). He smote Job with sickness and robbed him of all his children and possessions.
When Daniel prayed, he sent one of his fallen angels to withhold the answer to
Daniel’s prayer which God had released at the instance of Daniel’s prayer
 (Daniel 10:12-13)
.
Satan is traditionally anti-God! He is constantly on duty to ensure that he does
not lose the battle. Yet he keeps losing! Every evil in the world today is the
devil’s handiwork. God never tempts any man with evil (James 1:13, Job 34:10).
God will not destroy what He has created. Satan's 3-Fold Mission
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, to kill and to destroy..."
John 10:10
The devil, your enemy, is the thief. He is not coming physically to break into
your house or to snatch your car, but he has ways of stealing your money, time,
health and even your property.
You have to know that Satan is the unseen hand behind every evil thing. Any
time you’re attacked by sickness, he has come to steal your health, joy, peace,
comfort, money and even your life. He is desperate about this. His ultimate aim
being to destroy you. He is the enemy! Satan is your only scripturally-acknowledged
enemy. This is the truth.
