Another form of the strongman is the marine deity. This power is usually introduced into families where their parents have been marine worshippers. The serpentine spirit is also another form. This could be a serpent under the water or an ancient serpent in a shrine where the family or community go to worship. It can manifest in your dream like seeing snakes around you. It could also come as a dragon or crocodile to attack or form a demonic protector around you.

There are certain facts we need to know about the strongman. He has an armoury, which he trusts so much and there are different weapons he uses against believers. His greatest weapon is death, but thank God for sending Christ to die for us, so, we cannot die untimely.

Thirdly, he has a palace with a modernised and organised system. In this palace, he keeps his goods. These are goods, which he took from your grandfathers in their ignorance and helplessness. Some of your great grandfathers struggled all their life and yet died in poverty because the strongman had taken their prosperity. The Israelites worked in Egypt for 430 years without payment, but when they were leaving, God handed over the wealth of the Egyptians to them. They became multi-millionaires overnight; that is, they got their payment and that of their fathers in arrears. I decree to you today that every blessing that your family line has lost to the strongman will come to you in arrears in Jesus’ name.

Another fact about the strongman is that he is defeatable. Rm. 16:20 says: “God will crush Satan under your feet.” Lk. 10:19 says that you have been given power to overcome your enemies. Arise today in the place of prayers and begin to exercise your authority over the strongman of your family. Your victory is sure because it has been secured over 2000 years ago.
