As we approach the terminus of the fasting program, we must appreciate the grace of God that was abundantly shed upon participants and the miracles that have been testified of. Yet greater testimonies lie ahead (Jn. 1:50)
The scriptures reveal that the Lord is the Chief Executive, Head of legislature and Chief Judge of the earth (Isa. 33:22). And in our text, Abram in his defence, acknowledged the judicial office of the Lord calling Him Judge of all the earth (Gen. 18:25)
To
arraign means to bring before a court to answer a charge; prosecute, put on trial.
Our topic therefore says, “prosecute the adversary”, at the court of the Lord, Who happens to be the Law Giver and Sovereign.
We shall look at (A)
The Rationale Behind The Prosecution (B)
The Result Expected Of The Arraignment
Note that the
adversary is anything that has constituted itself an opponent to your existence or well-being. It can be spirits (Eph. 6:12) or mortals (1 Cor. 15:32, 2 Pt. 2:12). It can be a law promulgated (Dan. 6:3-9), yoke of ill health (Matt. 8:14-15), curse running in a family like premature death, barrenness, misfortunes (2 Kgs. 5:27), Economic situation (2 Kgs. 6:24-31) etc.
The challenges shall be presented to the Lord today.
- THE RATIONALS BEHIND THE PROSECUTION
By
rationale we mean reasons or logical basis for our course of action – prosecution
- The Lord asks us to present our matters in prayer (Jn. 15:11, 16:24)

v).
We are of His kingdom and are intercessors and have access to the judgment
seat or throne (Phil. 3:20, Heb. 4:16, Eph. 2:6,   cp. Isa. 59:16, Jer. 5:1, Ezk,
22:30)
The Lord Jesus has paid for our peace and prosperity in full and so we should
scripturally resist anything saying otherwise (Isa. 53:5, 2 Cor. 8:9)
The judge is trustworthy, and there is no fear of partiality or bribery that can
give the enemy an advantage (Jer. 9:23,24, Ps. 50:12-15)
The judge is equally perfect in knowledge and so there is no room for fear of
deceitful maneuvers by the adversary as seen in corrupt societies (Ps. 139:1-
13, 147:5, Prov. 15:3, Isa, 46:10)
- RESULT EXPECTED OF THE ARRAIGNMENT
The righteous judge will defend His name and bring the oppressor to book (Lk. 18:7-8, Judg. 1:4-7, Prov. 11:21). He will show forth His righteousness by giving all their merit (Gen. 18:25, Gal. 6:7). Miracles shall happen, great miracles!
As the Sovereign who watched His elect suffer the weight of the oppressor, He will deliver and leave a great testimony of joy (cons. Lk. 18:7-8, Job 42:12, Rom. 8:28). All human laws and decrees are revocable (Matt. 19:26, Est. 8:7-17)
Whatever therefore be the adversary, present it to the righteous Judge, putting forth reasons why it must be stopped (Isa. 41:10-21, 42:10-17).
It is jubilee era and the Lord must confirm His word.
Let’s rise to prosecute.
