WHENTHEFIRECOMES
When the fire comes, the viper would jump out. Something happened to amember of the MFM church sometime ago. She discovered that all herbusinesses and that of her husband had gone down and shewasworried. ShecrieduntoGodinprayerandGodinstructedhertogathertogetherallmembersofherhouseholdtopray.Shegatheredthem,includingthenewmaid.Shesaid,"Letusjoinourhandsandpray,butbeforewestarttheprayer,everybodymusthave a shot of the anointing oil."

THEMINISTRYOFSERPENTS
There is a department in the spiritual realm called theministry of serpents.ThephysicalserpentswerecreatedbyGod.IntheBible,theywerecharacterisedasbeingverysubtle,cleverandcrooked.Theyareuncleanhencetheyareunfittobeeaten.TheBiblegoesfurthertomakeusrealisethatserpentscanbefoundeverywhere.Theycanbefoundinthedesert,intheforestandinthewater.
It is clear from the biblical view that there are serpents that take
commandmentsfromGod.TheseserpentscanbecommandedbyGodaswearetoldinthebookofAmos.Thoughtheydigintohell,thenceshallminehandtakethem; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: Andthough theyhide themselves in the topofCarmel, Iwill searchand take themout thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea,thencewillIcommandtheserpent,andheshallbitethem.Amos9:2-3.
There is a mystery about serpents. Serpents are produced from eggs. GodcursedtheserpentaboveallothercreaturesaccordingtoGenesis3:14.AndtheLORDGodsaiduntotheserpent,Becausethouhastdonethis,thouartcursedaboveallcattle,andaboveeverybeastofthefield;uponthybellyshaltthougo,anddustshaltthoueatallthedaysofthylife:Genesis3:14.

Serpents can disguise. Sometimes it is difficult to see them because their
colourusuallyresembles thatof thegrasseswhere theyhide.That iswhytheycan bite without someone seeing them. They can protect themselves throughcamouflage.

PROPHETICACTIONS
IaskedtheLord,"Whatisthewayoutofthesemess?"Heansweredme,"Weshould carry out prophetic actions and teach God's people spiritualenvironmentalsanitation."
Whyshouldwecarryoutspiritualenvironmentalsanitation?
It is because our fatherswere inspired by the devil to dedicate our lives toidols.Many of our lands are already dedicated to idols.Our fore fathers builtaltarsfortheiridolsandinsodoingbroughtcoveringofdarknessoverourlands.Itmeans that our lands have been sold to satan. For us to completely possessour-possession,weneedtobreakthebandofwickednessoverourenvironment.
Lastingprosperitycanonly takeplaceon landswhere thegenuinepowerof
Godhasdismantledthecoveringofdarkness.
The reason many people struggle in so many places is the environment inwhichtheyliveandoperate.
