Good -Life Devotional: CAST OUT THE EVIL GENERATIONAL SPIRIT OF STRIFE

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    The spirit of strife is one of the most destructive demonic influences in families and relationships. In 1 Samuel 18:10–11, Saul, under a tormenting spirit, was driven by jealousy and strife to attempt to kill David. This same demonic spirit operates in many Christian homes today, causing quarrels, separations, and failed marriages. James 3:16 (AMP) says, “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.” Strife is a gateway through which demons gain access to families.

  God warns us in Proverbs 22:24–25 not to make friends with hot-tempered people, lest we learn their ways and ensnare our souls. In today’s digital age, joining social media groups filled with angry, immoral, or contentious persons exposes one to demonic influence. Infidelity, gossip, and bitterness thrive in such spaces, contrary to God’s Word which commands separation from evil associations (2 Corinthians 6:14–17).

    Generational quarrels and family disputes are often perpetuated by these spirits. But Jesus Christ has given us authority over all demonic powers. Mark 16:17 declares that believers shall cast out demons in His name, and Luke 10:19 assures us of power over all the enemy’s works. Therefore, daily bind the activities of the spirit of strife in your home and cast them into the abyss in the name of Jesus (Matthew 18:18). Engage faithful family intercessors to cover your household in prayer (Ephesians 6:12–18). Walk in love, peace, and unity—where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty (2 Corinthians 3:17).

   In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and boldness to resist the devil .

PRAYER : Heaven 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 resist the devil .
