Good -Life Devotional: CAST OUT THE SCATTERER — Part 1
By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Scripture: Zechariah 1:17–21
   God does not prosper His Church merely for material comfort; He prospers His people so that righteousness, holiness, and the advancement of His kingdom may flourish. In Zechariah 1:17–21, God reveals the work of the “four craftsmen” against the powers that scattered Judah. The scatterers represent evil forces that disrupt, oppress, weaken, and disperse God's people. Bad governance opens doors for these agents of satan .
   One of the greatest weapons of scattering is poverty. Isaiah 5:13–14 describes God's people going into captivity because of lack of knowledge, while spiritual hunger and deprivation become instruments of bondage. When God's servants are continually frustrated by financial lack, the preaching, teaching, missions, discipleship, and charitable work of the Church can suffer. This can leave people vulnerable to exploitation, false teaching, and sinful alternatives.
   God's purpose is liberation. Hosea 12:13 declares that by a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt and preserved them. Isaiah 61:1 declares that God's anointed servant is sent to proclaim good news to the poor and liberty to captives. Jesus applied this mission to Himself in Luke 4:18.
   Therefore, we must resist every power that scatters God's people from righteousness, fellowship, purpose, and provision. Psalm 68:10 says, “You, God, provided for the needy.”
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 overcome poverty. Father, in Jesus' name, arise against every scatterer attacking Your Church. Break every power of poverty, oppression, confusion, and bondage. Prosper Your Church so that righteousness and holiness may advance. Strengthen gospel ministers, provide for Your servants, and release Your people from every form of captivity. Let every satanic structure scattering Your people be overturned, and let Your kingdom flourish. Amen.
