I SHALL NOT BE DEMOTED
(Message of Pastor Olawole Dahunsi)

Text:

 Psalms 92:10-15

 “10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.” 

Psalms 113:4-9

 “4 The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8 That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 147:3-6 “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. 6 The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.”

1 Samuel 2:7-8

 “7 The LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.”

What we are considering today is a prayer topic and I pray for you that any power assigned to demote you shall die in the mighty name of Jesus;

What Is Demotion?

·        To bring a person down from a great height.

·        To reduce someone in rank: reducing someone from being important.

·        To degrade somebody from grace to grass.

·        To lose your status.

·        To relegate to a lesser position

·        To move from up to the ground.

·        To relocate a person from the front to the back.

·        To move from maximum to minimum.

Types of Demotion:

1.      Spiritual demotion

2.      Physical demotion

Spiritual Demotion:when you use to have a good relationship with God and all of a sudden you fall from that grace, you no longer have a good relationship with God. You use to see yourself doing exploit for the Lord but now you are no more doing it again, it means you are spiritually demoted.

Physical Demotion: this is a situation where someone loses his/her position before men either in the office, family, environment, business, etc.

Causes of Demotion:

1.      Sins

2.      Faulty foundation like stealing money to do anything, forged certificate, etc.

3.      Curses and evil covenant

4.      Indiscipline in what you do.

5.      Evil association/company

6.      Wrong marriage

7.      Bad environment

8.      Disobedience and rebellion to the word of God.

9.      Poor giving habit

10.   Lack of wisdom: whenever you want to take any decision always think of the people/destinies that are hanging around you including your family.

11.   Attack: spiritual arrow can be fired to a person to demote him/her.

I pray for you; every spiritual bullet or arrow assigned to demote you shall backfire in Jesus name.

What are the powers that can cause demotion?

1.      Foundational powers: there are some families that do not rise at all and there also that rise to the top and falls suddenly for no reason. 

2.      Household wickedness.

3.      Witchcraft powers

4.      Occultic powers

5.       Environmental powers of darkness.

Effects of Demotion on a Person’s Life:

1.      Abortion of good opportunities, breakthroughs, goodness, success, etc.

2.      Suffering and afflictions

3.      Failures all round

4.      Satanic delay

5.      Physical and spiritual dryness

6.      Setbacks and lack of progress

7.      It will make you a man of reproach and mockery

8.      Dishonor and disrespect

9.      Exchange of position

What Can We Do To Get Out Of Demotion?

1.      Surrender your life to Jesus Christ

2.      Repent of all known and unknown sins

3.      Live a life of integrity and discipline: integrity is who you are even when others are not there.

4.      Engage in spiritual warfare against the spirit of demotion.

5.      Learn how to give because giving promotes a person.

6.      Always barricade your life with the blood of Jesus.

Bow down your heads and begin to talk to God to promote you instead of demotion before you pray these last set of prayers for yourselves.

1.      Demoting powers of my father’s house I am no more your candidate, die in the mighty name of Jesus.

2.      Agents of demotion around me in my father’s house or in my business; fall down and die in Jesus name.

3.      O Lord, arise and promote me by your power in Jesus name.

4.      I shall not be a candidate of demotion but of promotion in Jesus name.

5.      Public announcement; I am no more for demotion but for promotion in the mighty name of Jesus.

God Bless You
