INTRODUCTION

Battle is part of life, from time to time people go through challenges such as barrenness, sickness, affliction, stagnancy, poverty e.t.c.

Stagnation is characterized by lack of development, advancement or progressive movement. In the journey of growth, there are times when we grow and excel, we are endlessly driven and hyped up, motivated to get our goals, then there are times when we stagnate , we feel uninspired and unmotivated, we keep procrastinating on our plans.

How do you know if you are stagnating? Here are some signs

  • If you have been experiencing chronic procrastination on your goals.
  • If you don’t ever feel like doing anything.
  • If you keep turning to sleep, eating, games, mindless activities and entertainment for comfort.
  • If you know you should be doing something but you keep avoiding it.
  • If you have a deep sense of feeling that you are living under your potential.
  • If spiritual things like studying the scriptures, praying and fellowshipping with brethren does not matter to you.

All of these signs indicate that one is operating under the spirit of stagnation and which must be dealt with in prayer.

The spirit of stagnation is the force of retardation that makes the past of a person to be better than the present. This force of retardation creates stagnancy, wasted effort and delay in the accomplishment of life assignment. The devil is our greatest enemy, he wants to stop us from pursuing our goals, he wants to stop us from moving forward and he even hinders our greatness by stagnating and putting our life on hold. He attempts to make to God a liar in the lives of the people of God. Do not be ignorant of the devil’s devices. Since the devil is the enemy we therefore need to fight in the place of prayer to get our life back on track, to where God has really destined it to be.

Prayer is a very important spiritual tool to fight and kick against the operation of the enemy, so as believer we need to use this strong weapon to bring down those strongholds that is hindering us from making progress. The scriptures says in 2Corinthians 10: 4

    “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds”

As you spend time talking with the father about your situation, also endeavor to study his word , ask him to give you a verse that applies with your situation, quote it, confess it and apply it directly to yourself. You can also pray in the spirit, speak in tongues as the Holy Spirit gives utterances. As you pray the prayer points in this book, it will destroy

  • Every barrier working against your progress.
  • Profitless hard work
  • Constant frustrations
  • Fruitless effort
  • Failures in achieving anything in life.
  • Satanic embargo on your finances
  • Sluggish progress

NOTE: PLEASE PRAY THESE PRAYERS AGGRESSIVELY AND VIOLENTLY, GOD IS READY TO ASSIST YOU, PROVIDED YOU TOO ARE READY TO BATTLE AGAINST IT IN PRAYER.

     You are a Winner in Jesus Name.

CHAPTER ONE: ELIMINATING STAGNANCY IN YOUR LIFE

 

Stagnancy is a situation whereby an individual stops experiencing progress in his life. It is called an ‘anti-progress syndrome. It is a when an individual’s life is on hold, they keep working and toiling and have nothing to show for it, they just move from one failure to another, and one challenge to another. They try to change the situation but they keep returning to that same spot.  

     When water is not moving or flowing it begins to stink or smells unpleasant, that’s the same way it is for someone in a state of stagnancy. As God’s children we are designed to constantly make progress and not stay on one spot, and if one do not move in life, that person will gradually begin to stink, people will not want to reckon with such person and will also begin to go backwards. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus every state of stagnation in your life will completely will be eliminated.

   This state of stagnation is a challenging situation, and it is meant for the Glory of God to be made manifest. Without challenges, there would be no victory. Dan 6:10. When you find yourself in a situation whereby your state of health keeps deteriorating, where you’ve not been promoted in your place of work even after working for long years, where your business has just been the same for a very long time (no enlargement or increase), or your financial story has just been same for years, then it may be said that one is experiencing stagnation. These situations are stubborn and unpleasant situations that require violent faith and prayers to permanently overcome them. If find yourself in any of this situation you need to be spiritually dissatisfied with it, shake off every spiritual laziness. Then its yoke will be broken and you will receive freedom in every area of your life.

   In the book of Exodus 14:1-end we saw how God delivered the children of Israel from their state of stagnation. The children of Israel were in Egypt for years; they were working as slaves for pharaoh and couldn’t move forward. But God came to their aid and rescued them from their enemies. From now on, the Lord Almighty will rescue you from your enemies and utterly destroy them in Jesus name.

In 1 chronicles 4:9 -10. We were told that Jabez was an honorable man, but he never experienced this honor, he was just there no progress in his life. Until Jabez woke up from his spiritual slumber, he never got his deliverance. So until we get to a point where you can say enough is enough, there will be no change.

Stagnation can lead to sorrow, pains, difficulty, setbacks, fruitlessness and you need to stop it from spreading its tentacles before it stops your life.

 

How to eliminate stagnation

  1. You need to realize and acknowledge your problem. I Chronicles 4:19
  2. Acknowledge that the Almighty God is your only source of help. Know the kind of God you serve. Dan 11:32. Have the knowledge of the power of God.
  3. Discover the promises of God for your life. , determine to stand on his promises for your life and dwell on it.
  4. Be faithful and be FAITH-FULL in all situations. When you experience unfailing faith in that situation, that failing situation will begin to turn around.
  5. Never give up on prayers. Pray without ceasing. The moment the fire of God stirs up holy anger in you over every situation of your life and you pray with spiritual violence, every yoke will be broken.

Deuteronomy 1:6, 8 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE have dwelt long enough on this mount. Behold, I have set the land before you, go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after then.
