“The word bind in the scripture above (Matthew 16:19) means to restrict or hinder and the word loose means to allow or permit. That means whatever you restrict or disallow here on earth is restricted and disallowed in heaven and whatever you allow here on earth is allowed in heaven.”

“Fact is, bad things at times happen to good people. When such things happen to you as a Christian, what you need to do is to be steadfast and focused and face the challenge squarely because God has told us we will go through them but they will not harm us. (See Isaiah 43:1-2)”

“God never promised us we will not go through challenges but He promised us He will always be with us and we shall not be destroyed but we will come back from the challenges refined as gold; if God does not save you, He will rescue you. (See Job 23:10)”

“Note that God does not tempt anyone. He only tries or test us. It's the devil who tempts. But whatever the devil can use his ability to cause in the life of a Christian, the Christian has the authority to stop, destroy and halt it. (See Ephesians 1:15-23)”

“Christians have the same authority and power as Jesus has because the Bible did not only say we are seated with Him; the Bible says ‘as He is, so are we in this world' (1 John 4:17b). So, you have all the power and authority to place the devil where he belongs.”

“No Christian is mandated to fight the devil. Jesus has already defeated him and his position forever is to be restricted and localized under the feet of Christians according to the scriptures.”

“Put the devil where he belongs (under your feet) any day, anytime he shows up. This power is yours and the devil knows he can do nothing about it, only to deceive you that you don't have such a power. But just as Jesus Himself said in John 8:32.”

“Most Christians have been made to believe that everything that happens to us is as result of one spiritual attack or another. Therefore, instead of conducting an honest self-appraisal when challenges difficulties befall them, They quickly rush to point accusing fingers at the devil or other people.”

“Principles are important in our walk with God and attempt to succeed in life.”

“God is not a respecter of person, but respecter of principles.”

“Purpose is the single most important issue that motivates you to live, move and operate.”

“A purposeless Christian will never arrive at his or her destination.”

“Prayer becomes effective when it is purpose-driven. God answers prayer, He fulfills purpose.”

“Your purpose does not have to be something necessarily big or great. It can be a single word or phrase but it must be something you believe in and which motivates you.”

“Study the Word of God daily. The Bible indicates God's purpose for us through which we can also identify our purposes.”

“Be prayerful - purpose is like a seed or word that will drop in your spirit when you pray.”
