Time To Disengage and Paralyze Star-Hunters Is Now! By Felix N.Jarikre.








TO BE FEEL DEPRIVED IS TO BE CHALLENGED BY STAR-HUNTERS:  Understanding how the pattern of satanic challenge is executed makes it easier to disengage and paralyze star-hunters. This pattern could be traced and decoded from way back when Adam and his wife were challenged by the serpent in Eden. To be questioned or challenged by star-hunters in the area where you suffer deprivation is the only way to disconnect you from the creative life of God. Here they were, driven to the wild edge of madness with a fierce hunger, but they could not eat anything because they had no knowledge as to which very tree they should not eat in order not to offend the Creator. They had a burning, killing desire for which they lack the know-how or skills to satisfy. Have you given a thought to how perplexing, annoying and frustrating such a situation could be?  Feeling sorry for herself as a dispensable pawn with zero significance, under the clever interrogation of her adversary, the woman was led to think it was only by eating to know good and evil that she would become a ‘god’ and avoid being maltreated. Truly, they were duped. Like the woman in Eden, you are also going to be challenged by star-hunters in the area where you feel deprived. Jesus Christ was hungry, having ended His 40-days fast, when the same old serpent came with this famous line, from his bag of  tricks: ‘If you be the Son of God, turn these stones to bread!’
Beautiful Rachel, pampered and cherished by Jacob, thought all she had to do was open her legs for her husband, and she would conceive a child. But alas, her conceit led only to crashed expectations. Feeling deprived, she desperately cried to Jacob: ‘Give me children, or else I die.’ Why was she feeling suicidal?  She had no adequate response for the shame and humiliation she felt for not being able to bear children. The blindness of her inner eyes, and the hardness of her heart prevented her from  connecting to the supernatural activities of the Creator. Despairing, and lacking trust in what God could do, she was left with nothing to do but cry to her husband!  But Jacob directed her attention toward God, saying: ‘Am I in God’s stead, who had withheld thee from the fruit of the womb?’ (see Genesis 30: 1-22)  Left with no alternative, Rachel cried out in prayer to God without ceasing until He hearkened to her, and opened her womb.
That area in your life where you feel deprived is not the place to feel betrayed, dejected and invalidated. Wherever you suffer deprivation is where God has ordained for something extraordinary and unimaginable to emerge from. Where you are deprived is not the place to feel shame or reproachful. This is where to pray for your pain to become gain!  Be more concerned about the magnitude of what God wants to do through you than how you are regarded by star-hunters who masquerade as friends and relatives. Don’t be pressured to violate what is right and correct in your life in order to prove to star-hunters that you are smart and intelligent! Let them deride and say: ‘Where’s your God?’ They don’t know the next chapter of your story. They don’t even have the power to write your story. The pen to write your story is in your hand! Feel free to write it. Feel free to speak it! You shall be vindicated, and every star-hunter in your life shall be put to shame.

GET READY TO DISENGAGE AND PARALYZE STAR-HUNTERS IN YOUR LIFE. By FELIX N.JARIKRE






REFUSE TO BE DEFINED BY YOUR CHALLENGE OR TRIBULATION: Faced with a difficult situation testing their skill or ability to the limit, the tendency is natural for many not only to be puzzled and doubtful, but to think they are some disadvantaged dim-wits, meaningless pawns in a complex game rigged to fail them. In the Bible, ten spies came back with a hopeless report of their findings concerning the promised land of wealth and plenty. They said they lacked the capability to capture and overrun the land. Overwhelmed by how fortified and impregnable they thought the land was, the ten spies reported they were defenceless grasshoppers in their own eyes, compared to their  enemies who were merciless giants. The ten spies allowed their challenge to define them as nothing but grasshoppers, spineless and weak. Yet trusting the faithful capability of Jehovah God, two other spies, Joshua and Caleb, refused to be defined by their challenge, seeing it rather as an illusion.
Refusing to see his dyslexia, a reading disorder as a handicap, Gary Cohn, 54, president and Chief  Operating Officer of Goldman Sachs, managed to graduate from American University in 1982. Struggling through school as a kid in Cleveland, teachers and classmates wrote him off as an ‘idiot.’ Sharing a cab one day from Wall Street with a man who ran one of the big brokerage firm in Wall Street, he pretended to be familiar with the Options business. He read McMillan’s  Options as a Strategic Investment’ book after he got a job with the direct invitation of this big shot. By 1994, he was made a partner with Goldman Sachs. Though it still takes Gary Cohn about six hours to read 22 pages today, according to Malcolm Gladwell, this Wall Street  titan did not end up as a truck driver due to his dyslexia, defying the cynical prediction of one teacher at school. He refused to let his challenge to define what he was capable of.
As a married woman, does it look as if your marriage is a mockery and a slander because of your inability to get pregnant and bear children?  Despair not! The  Creator who makes the barren woman to become a joyful mother of children will not become a liar in your case. That you are not married when you should does not make you an old maid left on the shelf to gather dust! What you consider a delay is a design for your beauty not only to be desired, but selected and preferred  by kings! Have you been laid off your job, and you are clueless as to how you are going to survive without a regular pay-check? Perhaps, despite your marketable skills, the thought of going into business for yourself makes you to develop cold feet. At night, you go to sleep wrestling with the ghosts of doubt, fear, suppositions and paralyzing analysis, waking up in cold sweat in the morning, restless and fatigued. As a warning, let me say this: allowing anxiety and nagging doubts to seize control of your thinking, and depleting your enthusiasm is a signal that your challenge or tribulation has put a definition upon your life. Whatever it is you are going through, surrendering to anxiety is not a viable option, but a killer sting. At this time, you cannot afford to allow poverty or lack to define your life, but remember the Lord your God who gives you power to make wealth!     Aspire if you must, but getting inspired is the better way to secure  a valid definition of your life when you are challenged. Every challenge you face is a friend when you don’t allow it to define who you are. Yes, your challenge is not an enemy because it is simply a sign-post, provoking you to embrace what you are capable of. It’s an open secret that you would not have known what you are capable of if you were not challenged. Truly, it takes adversity to discover your true strength! But that can only happen when you seize the initiative to define yourself independently of your pain!  TO BE CONTINUED.

WHAT YOUR EYES SEE WILL MAKE YOU RISE OR FALL! By FELIX N.JARIKRE





The force of perception is so powerful and influential that Satan, your adversary wants to control it. If Satan was not able to get the woman in the Garden of Eden to pay attention to what he had the capability to see, she would not have felt her intelligence was challenged or questionable. (There’s a world of  abundant wealth and riches, provided for man, not subject to the vagaries of times and seasons, but kept hidden. Satan is not only clueless about this universe, his eyes lack the capacity to apprehend it.) Now, man was not mandated to see what Satan had the capability to see. Actually, it would take Adam to neglect or despise the divine command not to eat the tree of knowledge of good and evil before he could see what Satan could see.
 By violating the Creator’s command, the man effectively put himself on the same blind page with Satan. For the man to see his nakedness and shame as a result of his violation  meant he was actually blind. The man’s blindness, without a doubt, translated to the fact that his flesh i.e. physical senses has become his DRIVER or MOTIVATOR. From the Creator’s dealings with man to the point where Jesus Christ gave up his body to be crucified on the cross, it is clear that it takes the removal of  your flesh as your perception of reality for you to become perfect. It takes those who are perfect to exercise their rights as INHERITORS of the earth. The Creator said to Abraham: ‘I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.’ (see the book of Genesis chapter 17)  To the rich young man with a desire to inherit eternal life, Jesus said: ‘If thou wilt be perfect, go sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.’  But as long as man took  the flesh as his perception of reality, becoming perfect was a journey that he was scared to explore. So to the Creator, removing the flesh as man’s perception of reality was a task that must be done. Jesus said: ‘For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.’
Clearly, to rise and not fall, serving the preaching of the kingdom of God is an imperative! Stop your eyes from seeing the things that whispered shame and destitution into your ears. Take your eyes away from the things that make you inferior and insecure. Don’t let what you see determine what you say. Precisely, what you speak from your heart should determine what your eyes should see. Let me repeat this in other words: what you speak from your heart should make your eyes to be  enlightened. You should have selective attention or focus. There’s no law that says your eyes should see everything! Refuse to neglect or belittle in your eyes whatever God is doing in your life, but rather MAGNIFY it!

ARE YOU READY TO DISENGAGE AND PARALYZE STAR-HUNTERS IN YOUR LIFE? BY FELIX N.JARIKRE.




S
tar-hunters are on the prowl to neutralize and degrade your destiny. They don’t send an alert or warning before they come attacking. Surprise is a key element in their arsenal to defeat and destroy people. Star-hunters poach in the adverse circumstances of men and women. When you are going through a season of adversity, and you appear to be weak, helpless and disadvantaged, that’s a likely time for star-hunters to attack you. So you had to learn to be ready and fortified before star-hunters launch an attack to enslave and devalue you. This write-up is my prayerful contribution to make you ready ahead of time to repel an unwanted siege from a star-hunter.   If you are victimized and degraded, what you will learn here will help you to overcome your struggle, and turn the tables against star-hunters.
One thing is certain: There’s someone somewhere who want to enslave you. There’s a Pharaoh or Herod somewhere who want to oppress, and have dominion over you. Star-hunters want you to fall so they can rise!
Let me make an acknowledgement here, before we go further. This article was actually inspired when I was instructed by my General Overseer, Bishop Chris E. Kwakpovwe, publisher of Our Daily Manna, to preach in church i.e. Manna Prayer Mountain, Ogudu-Orioke, Lagos, 2nd August, 2015 on the theme of the month: War against Star-Hunters. And I remain grateful, for that opportunity exposed me to an arsenal of helpful information which I feel importuned to share with you.
Who Are Star-Hunters?  By simple definition, star-hunters are diabolical secret agents, spies and foot soldiers of powers and principalities. Star-hunters look for stars i.e. people to enslave and oppress. Star-hunters search to derail and truncate people’s destinies. Star-hunters prowl to mesmerize gullible people, and take away their dominion. People i.e. stars who are victimized by star-hunters are insecure, fearful, devalued, ignorant, weak and ashamed.


The Making of a Dominion: From ancestral times, kings and rulers of the earth drew their power and legitimacy from the people’s agreement, taken either by force or consent, to be subject to the dominion of  a king or ruler. From Pharaoh, David to Herod, etc, kings could be either benevolent  or tyrants, oppressive and brutal; but generally, benevolent rulers are rare in history. The customs, traditions, culture or tastes of  a people are influenced by what is decreed by a king. The dominion of a king could be either weak  and insignificant or powerful and influential. Those who publicly exercised their independence  of thought, by dissenting or charting a different course, apart from the royal decree, are blacklisted, viewed as rebellious or subversive elements, to be hunted down, imprisoned, exiled or executed.
In this bleak setting, Jesus Christ interjected into history when a man called Herod reigned as king in Jerusalem. When he was born, wise men i.e. astrologers or star-gazers from the far east, saw his STAR  and tracked it to pay homage and offer gifts. According to them, this star revealed that the child Jesus was the KING OF THE JEWS. Herod was troubled when he heard this. Of course, his legitimacy as a king was brought into question and threatened. If there was another king, what was he? A pretender?  Soldiers were sent to hunt for the child Jesus, and kill him. Warned in a dream by an angel, to spare the life of Jesus from premature death, his parents fled to Egypt. Frustrated and angry, having failed in their mission, every male child under two years old was killed by Herod’s soldiers. This genocide, provoked by a fierce contention for dominion, is a prime example of the brutal cruelty of star-hunters.
To have dominion is to control, enslave, colonize or master a thing. Now, from the book of Genesis in the bible, no man is authorized to have dominion over another man. You can influence, persuade or lead, but you are not permitted to have dominion over another man!  ‘To have dominion over all the earth’ according to the Creator’s mandate means ‘Let the man have control, enslave, colonize and master his own flesh.’ To make this clearer, Apostle Paul put it this way, ‘I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection, lest after I have preached to others, I myself  become a castaway.’ (see the book of  First Corinthians 9:27) 

What are Stars? From the book of Genesis, we learn that stars are made to give light upon the earth.  In that case, stars are the DIRECTORS and ILLUMINATORS of the earth. They are not blind; they are enlightened. What they say cannot be questioned or contested. They LEAD, others  follow. To be gender-sensitive, stars are men and women! Now, man was created a STAR, but when he was formed from the dust of the earth, and placed in Eden to ‘keep and dress’ the garden, he had not yet DISCOVERED who he really was. Before they were tested and faulted in Eden, Adam did not know whether he was a SCAR or STAR!
Scare Tactics of Star-Hunters: Before you discover who you really are, star-hunters have a strategy in place to mesmerize and deceive you into accepting that you are weak and helpless. Before you have a revelation or understanding of your true personality, star-hunters want you to accept that you are disadvantaged. If they can get you to accept that you are weak, helpless or disadvantaged, they can colonize and enslave your mind. If they cannot enslave you, star-hunters will move to destroy or kill you.
Today, star-hunters are too smart and intelligent to put a chain on your body. It’s enough for them to put a chain on your mind!  TO BE CONTINUED.
