Text: Psalm 57:4 – “My soul is among lions: and I lie even among them that are set on fire, even the sons of men, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.”
INTRODUCTION
Beloved, life is a battlefield and not a playground. We live in a world where wickedness exists. The Psalmist here says, “My soul is among lions.” There are powers that behave like lions, always ready to tear destinies, devour lives, and swallow progress. But I came to announce to you today: "every lion roaring against your destiny shall be silenced by fire!"
1. THE REALITY OF THE LIONS OF LIFE
These lions represent enemies of destiny.
Some are spiritual lions - demonic forces (1 Peter 5:8: “Your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”).
Some are human lions - wicked men and women whose teeth are like spears, whose words are like arrows.
David faced Saul, Goliath, and conspirators—men who became lions against his destiny. You too may be surrounded by lions at your workplace, in your family, in your neighborhood. But the good news is: God has not left you defenseless!
2. THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE LIONS
From Psalm 57:4:
They are set on fire – They burn with hatred, jealousy, and wickedness.
Their teeth are spears and arrows – They use violence, oppression, and intimidation.
Their tongue is a sharp sword – They use lies, gossip, incantations, curses, and evil pronouncements against you.
3. DIVINE DELIVERANCE FROM THE LIONS
God shuts the mouth of lions (Daniel 6:22: “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me.”).
God tears the lions apart (Judges 14:6: Samson tore the lion by the Spirit of God).
God turns the lions against themselves (Psalm 35:8: “Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself.”).
Beloved, the same God who delivered David from Saul, Daniel from the lions’ den, and Paul from wicked men will deliver you today!
4. WHAT TO DO TO ENFORCE YOUR DELIVERANCE
1. Cry unto God for mercy (Psalm 57:2 – “I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth all things for me.”).
2. Take cover under the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11 – “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.”).
3. Engage in prophetic warfare prayers (Jeremiah 51:20 – “Thou art my battle axe and weapons of war.”).
4. Declare the word of God boldly (Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.”).
PROPHETIC PRAYER POINTS
Lift your hands and pray aggressively:
1. Father, thank You for being my Deliverer and my Defence in the face of wickedness.
2. Every lion assigned against my destiny, O Lord, silence them now by fire in the name of Jesus!
3. Any tongue speaking against my lifting, I command you to be silenced permanently, in the name of Jesus (Isaiah 54:17).
4. Every evil arrow fired against my life and family, backfire now! (Psalm 7:15-16).
5. O God, arise and shut the mouth of every lion positioned against my promotion, my marriage, my ministry, in Jesus’ name (Daniel 6:22).
6. By the blood of Jesus, I overcome every power of darkness seeking to devour my destiny (Revelation 12:11).
7. Father, let the fire of the Holy Ghost consume every evil altar raised against me, in Jesus’ name (Hebrews 12:29).
8. I declare: I am untouchable, unstoppable, and unkillable, in Jesus’ mighty name! (Galatians 6:17).
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I prophesy upon your life today: every lion that has roared against your health, your family, your finances, and your destiny is roasted by fire now! Receive your deliverance, in Jesus’ mighty name!
