Defy Evil Examples from Parents and Ancestors

Judges 6vv. 25-27 states “That same night the LORD said to him, "Take the second bull from your father's herd, the one seven years old. Tear down your father's altar to Baal and cut down the Asherah pole beside it. Then build a proper kind of altar to the LORD your God on the top of this height. Using the wood of the Asherah pole that you cut down, offer the second bull as a burnt offering." So Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the LORD told him. But because he was afraid of his family and the men of the town, he did it at night rather than in the daytime.”

Based on the above account, Gideon destroyed his father’s altar to Baal and took his father’s bull and offered it as sacrifice to the Lord though his family members were against his actions. Gideon did not follow the evil example of his father but attacked the family gods and destroyed them. He did it at night so that they may not confront him and stop his obedience to the Lord. You must also defy the evil ways of your parents and ancestors and do the will of God. When you get saved, unsaved religious members of your family, beginning with your parents, will begin to show hatred against you. They will begin to do things like denying you what is legally yours according to the law. They may even deny you food, or cook two types of food, one bad, and another very good. They will give you the bad food, and give other members of the family the best. They will give some assets which bring money to some members of the family and not give you anything. They will become envious if they learn you got money from somewhere. In fact, whenever you earn anything anywhere, they will become jealous of it, and will increase hatred against you due to it. All these, and many other evils, are aimed at forcing you to follow the satanic examples of your parents and ancestors. They use manipulation to force you to bow. They are Ahabs and Jezebels in your family and they want to kill like Ahab and Jezebel killed Naboth and took his land, or tried to kill Elijah for denouncing their wickedness. Do not bow, and God will provide for you. Yahweh will fight against them on your behalf.

Gideon just took his father's bull and killed it! He did not ask his father for permission to do so. If he had done so, his father would have refused and called other followers of Baal to kill Gideon. Because your parents refuse to support you due to your faith, God will take what they own as his sacrifice. They cannot support you and so you are not effective in serving God. God will put holes into their pockets and they will lose what they have earned. When they lose it, God will bless you. You may not get what they lose directly, but their lose is a sign that God is blessing you. What they lose is a sacrifice to God because all things belong to God. God will take it from them just as he took the bull from Gideon’s father secretly. Confront their demons and destroy them by the power of the blood of Jesus.

Ephe. 6v. 1 commands that we honor our parents in the Lord, not outside the Lord. You do not honor them in things which are contrary to the Bible. Gideon destroyed his father’s demons because he was honoring his father in the Lord. Reject anything which is not of the Lord from your parents. Lam. 5v. 7 says that our fathers (ancestors) sinned and are dead, and that we have borne their iniquities. Jer. 14v. 20 reveals we should confess the sins of our parents and ancestors. If you want to know what your parents practice in secret, or what your ancestors did, look at what is happening in your family. If your family, or a member of it, has ever been attacked by demons within the compound visibly, then your parents or ancestors keep/kept demons and serve/served them secretly. You must confront them and attack them by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ.

Personally, when I was in Primary School, I was seriously attacked by demons (majini) inside my parents house, in our home, and its surrounding. The demons could suddenly appear before me and terrify me. I used to cry a lot and had no peace. The demons could come appearing like a huge red cock, a man dressed in a shirt with black and red spots, or like a huge fire. I rarely slept and my life was a great pain. Even when I was an infant, I used to cry a lot and this was due to demonic assault. The assault stopped for some years, but in 2003, I started having bad dreams. I could wake being attacked across my legs below the knees with a rod. Those night attacks began in a period I had began to see hatred from my family. I had earned some little amount of money that year and it was as if someone wanted all my money though I had given them what I could afford! And they did not even need anything from anyone. They had more than me but still wanted the little I had. At that time I asked God to save me in tears, and hell broke loose. When Satan saw my tears before God, he attacked me in a road accident exactly at the same spot where my other two brothers had had an accident in 1984! The demons which attacked as a child now wanted to kill me. I did not die, but lost my left leg below the knee. I use a prosthetic leg, but you cannot know that unless I tell you. Later in 2005, when I was praying and fasting for forty days, they tried again to attack physically, but the fire of God destroyed them. I have since known which altars are in our family and have destroyed them. I have destroyed all the power of Satan against me. I am more than a conqueror. You must do the same, or they will finish you.
