Good -Life Devotional: DELIVERANCE IS INCOMPLETE IN AN EMPTY VESSEL

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

  Deliverance from demonic oppression is only the beginning of a believer’s journey; true and lasting freedom comes when the delivered soul is filled with the Spirit and knowledge of God’s Word. Jesus warned in Matthew 12:43–45 that when an unclean spirit leaves a person and finds the vessel empty, it returns with seven more wicked spirits, leaving the person worse off. This illustrates that incomplete deliverance—without spiritual filling and growth—creates vulnerability to greater bondage.

   God’s solution is found in His Word and Spirit. Jeremiah 3:15 promises that God will give pastors who will feed His people with knowledge and understanding. Paul prayed that believers be “filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom” (Colossians 1:9), “filled with the fruit of righteousness” (Philippians 1:11), and to “be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18). Teaching churches play a vital role in grounding believers in their authority and privileges in Christ, enabling them to stand firm against demonic attacks.

Despising sound teaching is perilous. Scripture warns, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6), and “My people have gone into captivity because they have no knowledge” (Isaiah 5:13). Africa, especially Nigeria, has seen rising evil activities because many ministries focus on outward deliverance services without ensuring believers are nurtured in Word and Spirit.

True deliverance is completed when the empty vessel is filled with God’s presence, rooted in truth, and walking in victory through Christ (John 8:32, 2 Peter 1:3).

  In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and a teachable spirit .

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to be fruitful.
