Pedro Okoro Quotes

To move into what God has in mind for you, it is necessary to discover your purpose, to know where you are going, and to understand the reason for your existence.

Satan is not a lion, and he can't devour you if you're a believer.

Knowledge comes by revelation through the study of the Scriptures

As a born-again child of God, you have absolute authority over the devil through Jesus Christ.

Don't attempt to fight the enemy in your own strength. You will experience burnout, and you will fail. Don't even think about it! The key is to engage in spiritual warfare God's way. And that is by resting in him and fighting from victory, not for victory!

Although there's only one way to heaven (through Jesus Christ), there are a million and one ways to crush the devil!

There can be no substitute for a personal study of the Word of God! Daily devotionals, Bible commentaries, and recorded messages by anointed preachers and teachers are wonderful and useful. However, they cannot take the place of the Word of God. They must not replace a time of personal study of the Word. Every Christian individual must study and meditate upon the Word for him or herself. Nobody can do that for anyone else.

Spiritual warfare is real. But you've got to realise that you shouldn't be fighting a battle you've already won! That's right. You defeated the devil in Christ more than two thousand years ago. You were nailed to the cross of Calvary in him. This became a reality for you the day you received Jesus into your heart as your Saviour and Lord.

No matter how long your night may have been, as the earth remains, your morning will definitely come.

To stand against the enemy is to rest in what Jesus has already done.

With the weapons that God has made available to you, he expects you to capture and hold captive every thought and idea that comes into your mind, and to examine these against the backdrop of the Word of God. Those thoughts that are in line with God's will and purpose for your life are to be released and allowed to move freely within your mind. However, those thoughts and ideas that are contrary to the Word of God are to be held perpetually captive and cast out of your mind in the name of Jesus!

God expects you to have the mentality of a conqueror. See yourself as a victor in Christ Jesus, and go about life with a holy swagger!

In spiritual warfare, faith is the currency that releases your prayer. It is the instrument (or weapon, if you like) that activates and sets loose the answers to your prayers.

You have incredible potential. At your birth, you were loaded with everything you need to make an impact on the world.

Devil, you are fired
You could never ever have been required
For all the fiascos you inspire
I pour on you the Lord's unquenchable fire
Now get thee behind me, devil
You scheming sneaky crafty cunning conniving embodiment of evil

Spiritual warfare begins and ends with praise.

Take God at His Word – because winning the battle doesn't require
physical brawn, but spiritual brains!

Christians have no business playing around with ideas of the devil as a fun-loving, beer-swigging guy who just wants you to have a good time.

If you are a believer in Christ, then you were predestined in eternity yet called in time.

You were not mass-produced like a Toyota. You are an original. Not a copy! You were handcrafted and handmade by God, who took his time to create you, making you "wonderfully complex." You're unique. You're special. You're one of a kind. There is no one else quite like you, dead or alive, in the whole world. Nor will there ever be.

Fear is a scheme that the devil uses to great effect. From my personal study, the words "do not be afraid" or "fear thee not" (depending on the Bible translation) appear over one hundred times in the Bible! The message from God is quite clear: we need not be afraid!

Just as you cannot stop a bird from flying over your head, in the same way you cannot stop the devil from dropping ideas into your mind. However, in the same way that you can stop a bird from building a nest on your head, you can stop the Enemy's suggestions from wandering without restriction and taking root in your mind.

You can exercise your authority as a
believer because you are seated with Jesus in the heavenly places.

Whatever your station or position in life, there is always room for improvement, enhancement, and perfection. I say this with a great sense of humility. Regardless of what you are enjoying at the moment, the Lord says that he has something
better for you! No matter what you have achieved, attained, or accomplished
in this world, there are more challenges and blessings ahead. God says that you have stayed long enough on this mountain. It is time to press forward to take more territories and receive more trophies.

The good is the Enemy of the best. Until you depart from the good, you cannot enter God's best for your life.

If you do not pray, you easily become a prey!

God does not have grandchildren, and so it does not matter if you were - or weren't - born into a Christian family! The fact that your parents are Christians is simply irrelevant. You must decide for yourself and acknowledge that you are a helpless sinner, after which you must personally accept the sacrificial death of Jesus on the cross. You must then invite Jesus into your heart as your personal Savior and Lord.

The sheer size, extent, and magnitude of the blood vessels tell us two things: the awesomeness of God's work in man and the fact that as human beings, every one of us is a walking wonder, an amazing work of art.

In the great Bible passage on spiritual warfare, the word stand appears four times, while the word translated wrestle, battle, fight, or struggle appears only once. In essence, God is asking you to spend the majority of your time in warfare standing!

Spiritual warfare is very real. There is a furious, fierce, and ferocious battle raging in the realm of the spirit between the forces of God and the forces of evil. Warfare happens every day, all the time. Whether you believe it or not, you are in a battlefield. You are in warfare.

In this battle, there is no room for turning back. You have to be on the offensive. You have to keep attacking the Enemy; and on account of this, your back is left bare. You cannot afford to turn back once you have put your hand to the plow and agreed to follow Jesus! To do otherwise is to leave yourself open to the Enemy's attack.

The authority that God has given you over Satan is ample, wide-ranging, thorough, all embracing

The one surefire key to victory as a Christian in this fallen world is to be filled with the Holy Spirit - that is, to be completely submitted to and empowered by him.

The Word of God seems to be the only offensive weapon which you have in your spiritual armory. It is quite powerful, and in the words of Hebrews 4:12, "It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword" (NLT). You make use of this weapon when you speak God's Word to the Enemy concerning the situation you face.

God takes enormous satisfaction in seeing you victorious in your everyday life.

The devil doesn't really have any new schemes, ideas, or initiatives. He keeps on recycling and reusing the same old temptations, adorning them in different attires.

By the anointing of the Holy Spirit, anybody who is afflicted by any phobia can be set free.

When you give up on your dream or give in to your challenges, you abort your dream and give the devil something to rejoice over! You also disappoint the Lord Jesus, who is waiting for you to enforce the victory he won on your behalf at Calvary.

In the global picture of God's plan for your life, the good can be the Enemy of the better. And the better is the foe of the best. Until the good is cleared out of the way, you cannot receive that which is better, and you cannot receive the best until you are willing to let go of the better.

God isn't asking you to fight the devil. He is asking you to simply uphold or sustain the victory won by
Jesus at Calvary and enforce his authority over the devil. You're like the traffic warden who raises his hand and the vehicles stop. They don't stop because he can physically bring the
vehicles to a halt, but because he is representing and upholding the authority of the state.

Your authority as a believer comes from Jesus's triumph over the enemy.

It is not for you to determine your purpose, the reason for your existence. You discover your purpose by asking the Creator why he created you!

When we are born into God's family through our faith in Jesus, God gives us the capacity or capability to live as his children.

You've got to always remember that the devil is a defeated foe. The battle has been won. You don't need to fight him. So what do you do? You simply stand and exercise your authority. All you've got to do is exercise your authority.
