SCRIPTURE READING: JUDGES 16: 1-31
FOCUS: “But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.” (Judges 16: 21)
MEMORY VERSE: “Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.” (Isaiah 60: 20)
Our Focal Scripture speaks of how the Philistines made Samson to grind grains for them in the prison house. They not only kept him in prison and in fetters, they also made him a grinder while in prison. The same man who judged and defended Israel, had become a grinder of grains in the hands of the Philistines. The same man who had capacity to terrorize the Philistines, was reduced to a mere grinder of grains in prison.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: every satanic arrangement that seeks to reduce your destiny to a level that heaven never ordained for you, I command that arrangement to scatter now. I scuttle every plan of hell to make you less than God purposed you to be. I scuttle every plan of hell that seeks to make your life empty. I scuttle every plan of hell that wants to make you grind grain when you should be a savior for your nation.
The same man who had capacity to cause the entire nation of the Philistines to be in fear for their lives, suddenly was reduced to a demeaning role of grinding grains in prison. They made him less than God made him. They made him less than what he had achieved. They made him less than he had capacity for. You will not be made less than God made you. You will not be offered what is below the capacity that God gave you.
Today, I pull you up from where you are now, to where you ought to be. Wherever you have lost your place in destiny, I command a restoration with compensation. Wherever the enemy has made a mess of your life by making you less than you ought to be, let there be restoration. I place you where you truly belong. I call you back to your place. I call you back to your destiny mandate. I call you back to the greatness in you.
The season of destiny reduction, is over. You will not be offered less than what you deserve. Your destiny will not be reduced or exchanged.
