SCRIPTURE READING: REVELATIONS 12: 1-16
FOCUS: “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.” (Revelations 12: 4)
MEMORY VERSE: “Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.” (Isaiah 66: 9)
Our Focal Scripture reveals that the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, so that he could devour her child as soon as it was born. The dragon showed up because the woman was about to birth a child. The birthing of something new was the reason behind the plot of the dragon. The woman faced the attack of the dragon because she was carrying something within her that was to be birthed in her generation.
Friend, the attacks of the enemy may be much against you because of what you carry on your inside. The enemy is fighting you because of what God put in you for your generation. The enemy is fighting you because of the divine deposits in you that would shake the foundations of hell. The enemy is against you, not necessarily because of you, but because of what is to come forth through you. The battles you face are because of what you carry.
Be intentional to stand in the gap in prayers for the ‘child’ you are about to bring forth. Protect your seed. Protect that which God has planted in you. Guard your portion like your life depends on it. Don’t let the dragon swallow what you are about to bring forth. Don’t let the devil consume your results. Powers that wait for you to bring forth your ‘child’ so that they can consume it, I decree, they will not prevail.
Notice that this woman eventually was delivered of her child, despite the dragon. Her child saw the light of day. Hear me as I hear the Lord: what you are carrying will see the light of day. You will bring forth whatever the Lord has planted inside you. You will bring forth the ‘child’ in your womb. You will bring forth the divine deposits that will make all the difference in your generation. You will bring to birth every seed that heaven planted in you.
If the attacks of the enemy have heightened, then just maybe you are about to birth greatness. If you carry an uncommon seed, then be ready for dragon to show up.
