“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them… I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. Be on your guard…” (Mt 7:15, 16; 10: 16, 17)

True facts about wolves:

They look like dogs but they are not dogs. They are wild, dangerous animals. They live in packs, helping one another to hunt and kill They fear only two enemies: tigers and men They sense of smell is relatively weak. They cannot track animals that hide underground

They hate the sound of strings and become very restless and mad when they hear it

They are able to distinguish between armed and unarmed men. They do not attack bold people who display confidence Running away is the worst strategy for it stimulates them and they will attack and kill. If the targeted animal stands its ground, the wolves either ignore it, or try to intimidate it into running. If the prey is in a group, the wolves try to isolate one from it. Once they get the prey, the kill more than they can eat to teach their young to hunt. They eat first the internal organs: heart, liver, kidneys and spleen. They eat up to 20% of their body weight. When very hungry the strong wolves eat the weak ones.

They communicate with an intimidating sound call howling. They howl together, like a choir, to give the impression that they are more than they really are.

They are not good as pets. Most attempts to train them as dogs ended in failure. They get bored easily with obeying the same commands and they constantly fight among themselves for personal space. They do not respond to kindness and reward. They get friendly with strangers more than with the owner. They refuse to stay in a dog house. They watch the owner how he closes the door and how he unlocks it. Once they have learned to do that, they will not rest until they run away. If later they meet the former owner, they have no remembrance of their relationship and can kill him without mercy They are ultimately unreliable and can never compete with dogs in faithfulness and labor.

They travel long distances carrying viruses with them. They are very resistant to sickness but the viruses affect the livestock

The shepherds hate them because they attack animals that cannot defend themselves. The sheep are their favorite pray. They usually kill in surplus. Because of the stress, the animals that survive miscarry or lose weight after the attack. The wolves are not afraid to attack the dogs that protect the sheep. Many dogs die in these attacks.

Some people worship them for their boldness and strength. The wolves generally avoid humans but they can attack when very hungry, or when they are permitted to stay close to villages and so they lose the fear of men There is no much gain from hunting them. Their fur is beautiful but has a bad odor. Their flesh is tough and smelly and few people eat it.

Therefore, I declare that IN CHRIST:

“I shall not ignore the danger of wicked religious people, false prophets who come to spy in the church, to open the door for demons to come in, to kill, steal and destroy! I shall watch and pray! I should be wise, humble and patient, contently staying hidden in Christ! I should not desire fame or visibility except when my Master approves of it for His glory!

I shall repent of any sin detected under the conviction of the Spirit! My heart shall be pure and holy!

I reject the evil spirit of fear, but I accept power, love and sound mind to do the will of God! I stand my ground, jealous over God’s ministry entrusted to me; I am protected with the whole armor of God! I resist the devil and his agents; I shall not submit to intimidation. The devil is a liar and he shall run away from me!

I praise God for the anointing over my life! I shall preach the true Gospel of Christ crucified to every soul! I shall not fear opposition! I shall not fear what they fear! I shall not be intimidated by their words or faces! My Captain can never lose any battle and I am in his army! I shall pray for the true prophetic gif of the Holy Spirit to be released to the Body of Christ! We need it, Lord!

I shall be cautious and pray before I become close friend with any one! I shall not open my heart to strangers! I shall oversee the flock God has entrusted to me with no fear of man and no lust for money! I shall train helpers in prophetic spiritual warfare: to be mature, responsible, trustworthy, wise, faithful and bold! I shall delight in mentoring them in the unity of the Spirit! I shall be ready to lay down my life for my sheep!

I declare confusion in the camp of the enemy….they shall quarrel and destroy one another, unable to attack the innocent

I shall praise Jehovah with stringed instruments; my guitar shall be free from dust! I shall take pleasure to see false prophets panicking and running away as I worship my KING! I shall hear my name tagged as ‘good and faithful servant’! I have King David and Apostle Paul as my examples! Best of all, I imitate the Good Shepherd, my Lord Jesus Christ!

I declare that the winter season of success for wolves, the false prophets in Warri, is over! The spring time of a new beginning is here! The power of resurrection and of revival is here! Peace be unto this land! In Jesus name, Amen!”
