YOU WILL NOT BE A VICTIM OF WICKED HANDS

The death of Jesus Christ on the Cross was not an accident. It was planned by God for our good. It was ignorantly executed by WICKED HANDS.

"Him, being DELIVERED by the DETERMINATE COUNSEL and FOREKNOWLEDGE OF GOD, you have TAKEN, and by WICKED HANDS have crucified and slain" (Acts 2:23).


1. DELIVERED...means:


- Christ was GIVEN OUT to the enemy.

- Christ was GIVEN OVER to the enemy. 

- God SURRENDERED Him to the enemy.

- Christ was DELIVERED UP to the power of the enemy.


2. TAKEN...means:


The enemy was able to TAKE Him only because God DELIVERED Him up to his power.


3. WICKED HANDS…

It took wicked hands to kill Christ.


HOW DOES THIS CONCERN US?


Even by the testimony of those who betrayed and sentenced Him to death, Jesus was INNOCENT and RIGHTEOUS*. 


But God had PLANNED that He should die for OUR SIN and OUR GUILT. Therefore was He GIVEN UP to die in OUR PLACE by the HANDS OF WICKED MEN. 


BUT HE ROSE AGAIN. 


"Whom God hath RAISED UP, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." (Acts 2:24).


Today, at the right hand of the Father in heaven, the risen Christ is the High Priest, Advocate and Intercessor for those who believe in Him.


Those who believe in Him and also understand Acts 2:23 should forever refuse to be victims of the wicked in any way by calling on the witness of His blood and in His name.


PRAYER DECLARATION


1. Father, I make the following decrees in the name of Jesus Christ and by faith in His blood.


2. Let every wicked hand stretched out against me or mine wilder now.


3. Let the wicked never be able to perform their plans against me.


4. Let the wicked plan of the enemy against me come upon their own heads. 


6. Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man. (Psalms 10:15).


7. According to your word let not the rod of the wicked rest upon any of my lot; for Christ has become my righteousness. (Psalms 125:3).


8. Break the rod of the wicked and let my lot be restored seven fold to me. 


9. Christ was GIVEN UP for me, therefore me and mine cannot be TAKEN by the hand of the wicked.


10. The LORD has chastened me sore: but he has not GIVEN ME OVER unto death or any evil. (Psalms 118:18).


11. Blessed be the LORD, who has not GIVEN ME as a prey to the teeth of the enemy. (Psalms 124:6).


12. Only with my eyes shall I behold and see the reward of the wicked. (Psalms 91:8)

Giving That Honors God

Giving That Honors God Restoring the Biblical Priority of Caring for the Poor Rediscovering God's Heart Through Our Offerings - By Nicholas Uanikhoba Introduction: A Call for Scriptural Balance In many churches today, teachings on giving often focus on ideas like “sowing into ministries” or planting “seeds of faith.” Yet these messages can easily become detached from the real and immediate needs of the poor. While it’s entirely biblical to support ministries, it’s troubling that giving to the poor — which Scripture so directly connects to the heart of God — is often neglected. The Apostle Paul provides a much-needed corrective. Contrary to popular belief, many of Paul’s teachings on generosity — especially in 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9 — were not about funding his own ministry, but rather about raising relief for suffering believers, particularly those in Jerusalem. Understanding these texts in their original context brings us back to the biblical center. 1. Paul’s Com...

Leadership and the Power of Covenants: Lessons from Saul, David, and the Gibeonites

Whether in government, business, or ministry, true leadership requires  wisdom, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  Every decision made by a leader  creates a ripple effect , sometimes impacting future generations in ways unseen at the time. The story of  King Saul’s broken covenant and its consequences  in  2 Samuel 21:1-7  offers  powerful leadership lessons . It reveals how  poor leadership choices—whether made in zeal or ignorance—can bring lasting repercussions .

If you are in a leadership role— whether leading a family, a company, a church, or a nation —these insights are for you. A Leader’s Actions Have Lasting Consequences 1. Ignorance is No Excuse ...

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness

Spiritual Etiology: Tracing the Root of Bitterness Uncovering the Hidden Cause of Division and Defilement By Nicholas Uanikhoba “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled.” – Hebrews 12:14, 15 (NKJV) What Is Spiritual Etiology? In medicine, etiology is all about tracing where a disease started. Now, imagine looking at our spiritual lives the same way—tracking down the roots of inner and relational struggles. Bitterness isn’t just a fleeting emotion. Scripture describes it as a root—hidden, slow-growing, but eventually powerful enough to wreak serious havoc. Like any root, it does its damage underground before its effects ever surface. And when it does, it brings conflict, chaos, and even spiritual contamination. That’s the essence of spiritual etiology: peeling back the layers to find whe...
