John 2:15-17 Jesus put together a whip out of strips of leather and chased them out of the Temple, stampeding the sheep and cattle, upending the tables of the loan sharks, spilling coins left and right. He told the dove merchants, "Get your things out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a shopping mall!" That's when his disciples remembered the Scripture, "Zeal for your house consumes me."
He couldn't stand it. He couldn't just imagine that extent of degradation and mental depravity exhibited by these so-called 'temple merchant' conducting business transactions within God's preferred and revered habitation. The essence of this temple was lost given room for all sort of manipulations and merchandising by market forces. Your body is the temple of God. He decided to make your spirit His contact place and a residence thereby nullifying any form of encroachment that is not approved.
I therefore decree on our behalf this day that every force, attitude, external influence, environmental pollution, merchandising elements or manipulative agents desecrating God's preferred and revered habitation which had hitherto lead to wrong choices, mental depravity, and all forms of unauthorised business transactions that is not to the glory of God be whipped and chased out in the name of Jesus! As we are in the season of celebrating national independence in Nigeria so also receive your own liberty from all entanglements, limitations and hindrances militating against your all-prosperity in Jesus name! Good morning!
