Nullifying Evil Reports

By Pastor Boniface Amani Gichina

To nullify means:
(i)To make something loss it’s effect or power
(ii)Cancelling something and making of non-effect

There are many destinies that are destroyed by negative reports – Either Written or Spoken (Declarations made by people).

So many people stagnate because of evil reports

-  Because one person somewhere said: – “you can’t get a job.”  “You can’t get married.”  “You can’t get babies.” “I will see how far you go!” etc

Colossians 2:14 – 15
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

1.     Jesus blotted out all that was written against you (Negative reports were cancelled)

2.     He took out of the way all that was contrary to you (No barriers any more)

3.     He spoiled (destroyed) principalities and powers that were opposing you

4.     He nailed all those forces on the cross openly.

Psalms 33:10 – 11
10 The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

 11 The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Job 5:12 - He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. (KJV)Another Translation says:
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success. (RSV)

Devices of people = Calculated steps. Planned maneuvers.

1.     The lord make useless (disappoint) the counsel of heathen

2.     He make their plans have no effect on you

3.     The counsel (purpose) of God stands

Deuteronomy 23:5 - Nevertheless the LORD thy God would not hearken unto Balaam; but the LORD thy God turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because the LORD thy God loved thee.

Ø God will turn all your curses to blessings because He loves you.

Zachariah 3:14 – 15, 19
14 - Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

15 - The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.

19 -  Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame (KJV)
Another Translation says:
19 - Behold, at that time I will deal with all your oppressors. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into PRAISE AND RENOWN in all the earth. (RSV)

How Do You Nullify Evil Reports

- Remember this; what is beyond lawyers and doctors is not beyond God.

1. Discover And Believe The Report Of God Concerning Your Life.
   It takes on report to cancel another one. In mathematics a bigger positive number will cancel an smaller negative number.
   
   Isaiah 53:1 -
   1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?  (KJV)Another Translation says:
   1 Who has believed what we have heard? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? (RSV)
   
   Lamentations 3:37 – 38
   37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?

38 Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?

Example of Sarah
Hebrews 11:11 -Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Example of Abraham
Romans 4:19 – 20
19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb:

 20  He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

2. Declare The Report Of God
   Isaiah 43:26 - Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.
   
   - Announce the report of God
   - Celebrate the report of God
   - Say it
   
   Mark 11:23 -
   23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (KJV)
   Another Translation says:
   23 Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. (RSV)
   
   
3. Observe To Do According To The Report Of God
   -Behave the report
   Deuteronomy 28:1 - And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
