Checkmate the spoiler (Stop the spoiler/arrest the spoiler)
Prayers 1. I reject new afflictions in my life and family in the name of Jesus. 2. I reject old afflictions in my life and family by the power in the blood of Jesus.
It is my prayer that: Powers assigned to afflict you will give up and old and new afflictions assigned against you will go back to senders in the name of Jesus. Text: Revelation 20:1-3 1And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, 3And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.
Chess has been described as an abstract strategy game. The winning player will While the game of chess typically lasts between 10 minutes to 60 minutes and for professional players, between 10 minutes to 6 hours or more, the battles faced in life are typically more than 6 hours.
What is checkmate?
· A term popularly used in the game if chess to indicate that the king is under attack. · If the king is unable to escape, it means the king has been rendered immobilized and captured. · It is game over. · It means the side who was able to capture the king has won the game.
The king is central to the game. When the king is under attack and cannot escape, this is a checkmate, and the game is over. The queen, the bride The queen, the wife of the king is very powerful in the game. She has unrestricted movement. Even though her position is beside the king, she can move from one end to the other to protect her king and officers. In doing this she arrests, defeats, and destroys opposing forces under the protection of the king, her husband, and officers. You will not lose in the game of life in the name of Jesus.
Concerning our King, the Bible says: 11And I saw heaven opened and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19)
· Our King is the King of kings, our Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 17:14, 19:16). · He cannot be ambushed, arrested, immobilized, or made to surrender. · He is the Man of War. · He is the captain of the Lords army. · He is the one who wages war in righteousness. · Out of His mouth proceeds a two-edged sword with which He subdues his enemies. On the other hand, the king of this world, the devil, who reigns in the lives of the disobedient, can be arrested (Revelation 20:1-3) The King and his officers. ü Similarly, you and I are brides of the King of kings. ü We have been empowered to do the works of the Kingdom. (John 14:12, Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-20) ü We are to defend the proclamation of the truth of God's kingdom occupying till he comes. ü We are to arrest spiritual enemies of the kingdom ü We are to immobilize them and defeat them under the protection of our Husband the King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev 19:7-9) ü We are to occupy till Jesus come back again (Luke 19:13) ü We are to tread upon serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt us (Luke 10:19)
In situations that you encounter, and in situations that encounter you, you will be a victor and not a victim in the name of Jesus.

More serious than the game of chess is the battle in the spiritual. The kingdom of darkness engages its dark diabolical, mysterious wisdom to try to bring down or afflict the people of God. Christians can also engage the wisdom of God to counter the advances and moves of the enemy.
If the princes of this world knew the mystery and wisdom of God that is above, comes from above and is above all, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory – our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:6-8) 6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
There are mysteries in this game of life. There is the mystery of ungodliness (2 Thessalonians 2:7). An example is when Nigeria who had been a morally upright society hosted the Festival of Arts and Culture in 1977. Various people came from several parts of the world with their idols for the presentations. Some were scantily dressed; they were also honoring their gods with their actions. Not long after, the spirit, nature of those gods that were being served by those foreigners including decadent dressing was observable in the land. There is more importantly the mystery of godliness. The Bible states in 1 Timothy 3:16 that: And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
This mystery of Godliness was with Phillip when he entered into Samaria. 4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. 5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them. 6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed. 8So there was great joy in that city (Acts 8). God used him to set the captives free and to destroy the work of the spoilers working in the lives of individuals, family, and community. The people in Samaria were delivered from the witchcraft power of the diabolical powers holding them spellbound through bewitchment. There was great joy in the city. Great joy that had been absent became the order of the day through the engagement of the mystery (moves) of Godliness.
Another example is God’s General John Alexander Dowie, who God used tremendously to heal the sick that the hospitals were empty and the doctors had nothing to do. They then organised to have Dowie arrested for practising medicine without a permit. leavesofhealingpartone:thelifelindsay3 - leavesofhealing (google.com)
Failure at the edge of miracles will not be your portion in the name of Jesus.
How do you checkmate the spoiler/stop the work of the spoiler or arrest the spoiler? 1. Declaration of the Word of God. Know the Word, meditate on the Word, recite the Word, to enable your faith stand in the power of God and not in the wisdom of men. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:4-5)
2. Let the Holy Spirit reveal to you the things which are yours. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. (1 Corinthians 2)
3. God can also reveal to you what has been stolen and how to get them back. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (1 Corinthians 2)
4. Apply faith. Faith moves situations and moves mountains. Faith comes through your reading, listening to and interacting with the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Further, Jesus said in Mark 11: 22And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 5. Forgive others. Jesus Christ further admonishes in Mark 11: 25And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 6. Prayers: Making your requests known to God and interceding for others. Ask God specifically what you want Him to do concerning spoilers (Mark 10:46-52)
