OPPOSING VOICES

16th AUGUST 2024

Scripture Reading: LUKE 19: 28-40

Focus

“And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?” (Luke 19: 33)

Our Focal Scripture speaks of that moment when the owners of the colt queried Jesus’ disciples for daring to loose the colt. No one seemed to have a query when the colt was tied, but questions ensued the moment there was an attempt to loose the colt. Questions arose the moment the status of the colt was set to change. Questions arose when the colt was about to break out of the status quo. Questions arose when change came.

Friend, there are battles that will come for you the very moment your status is about to change. There are questions that will arise because God is set to change your story. Some men will begin to issue queries on your destiny the very moment they realize that something new is about to happen. The opposition against you may seem to have new recruits immediately the signs of your advancement go public. Your rising will raise questions.

Notice that despite the questions that were asked as the colt was being untied, it was eventually untied and taken to Jesus. The questions of men did not stop the mandate of heaven in the destiny of the colt. Hear me as I hear the Lord: the voices of men will not halt the mandate of heaven over your life. The opposing voices that are querying your rising will not be able to stop your rising. Those that are speaking against you will not stop you.

Does it not shock you that the same voices that were silent when the colt was tied suddenly started to protest the very moment the colt was being untied? They were okay to see the colt tied, but were not favourably disposed to see any shred of progress outside the low estate they had designed for the colt. Don’t be surprised when the voices that seem supportive to you suddenly start to oppose you because your time has come.

Hear me as I hear the Lord: the voices that will arise to say that you will not become all that heaven has destined you to be, let the voice of the Lord silence them. No voice will reverse your progress.

Declaration

Every opposing voice against my rising, shut up by fire, in Jesus’ name!
