HOUSEHOLD WICKEDNESS. 

◆Have you ever felt like you cannot win with your mother in law? 

◆Are there difficult work collegues who are against you and seek your downfall and you have to daily deal with them? 

◆ Are there people who twist your words to use against you to others? 

◆Are there family members that hate you without a cause? 

◆Are there people that you are in close contact with that will never see the good in you? 

◆Is it difficult to deal with some people that you have to see them everyday but it always seems you're at loggerheads with them? 

◆Are there members of the extended family that you're engaged in court or family battles with? 

◆Have you ever doubted the sanity of some people because of how perplexingly they come against you?

Do not trust in a friend;

Do not put your confidence in a companion;

Guard the doors of your mouth

From her who lies in your bosom.

For son dishonors father,

Daughter rises against her mother,

Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

A man’s enemies are the men of his own household. ~ Micah 7:5-6.

With some people, there's just no winning with them. Whatever you say or do can and will be used by them against you in whichever way they can. They won't change, not for anything. And more perplexing is that you cannot please them in any way neither can you mend fences with them even when you choose to humble yourself. Simply put, there's no winning with them. What do you do in such a case, you see them everyday and have to deal with them in one way or another. It feels like a constant battle and its so, so tiring. I mean with these people, it feels like a war strategy every time. It's complicated to deal with them. 

This is called Household Wickedness. It is sheer wickedness which has no foundation or basis operating among a group of people, an establishment or an organisation to destroy and cause division and frustrate plans, purpose and order. Household wickedness seeks to do the work of the devil (steal, kill and destroy) and frustrate you. It seeks to cause division, ruin you and rubbish you. 

If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Mark 3:24-25. 

The verses in Micah show us that the devil can use anyone, even those close to us,to attack and torment us. We should remember first and foremost not to fight people, but to fight the devil who works in people to frustrate us. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood Ephesians 6:12. Of course you may need to speak for yourself upon false accusations if you can, to cancel false witness against you. 

There are spiritual situations I have dealt with and Household Wickedness ranks among the top in wickedness. There is no demon which is good in any slight way, but household wickedness is just pure evil.

You cannot win nor reason with household wickedness. You need to come against it in spiritual warfare. Understandbly, the authorities might need to be involved with serious cases, but when you know the underlying root cause of the problem, it becomes easier and comprehensive to deal with the situation.

Household wickedness seeks to break Godly establishments eg families, people seeking to adopt a Godly culture in their lives, Godly businesses, Christians working in an office etc. Household wickedness spirits are evil spirits set to disrupt the move of the Holy Spirit in a place. Be it a home, a school, an office, an organisation, a church etc. They are all manner of spirits working together to frustrate the plans and purpose among people. 

Examples of household wickedness in the bible:

◆ Cain and Abel were the first people we see dealing with household wickedness. It seems to be a good tactic with the devil since times of old. We witness the first murder because of household wickedness. 

◆ Joseph and his brothers- But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him...

So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words...

And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind...

Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit... 

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites... and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. ~

Genesis 37

◆ Rachel, Leah and Jacob 

◆ Jacob and Laban

◆ Jephthah and his brothers- Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, “You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.” Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob... Judges 11:2-3 

◆ Samson and Delilah. Delilah sold Samson to the Philistines.  

◆ Hannah and Peninah 

◆ David and his brothers. Many instances we see David having to deal with his brothers who wouldn't even speak to him peaceably. It explains David's solitude nature. He wasn't even considered when Samuel went to anoint the king. 

~ I have become a stranger to my brothers and an alien to my mother’s children... Psalms 69

~In return for my love they are my accusers,But I give myself to prayer.

Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love... Psalms 109:5-6

◆ Absalom and Amnon. Absalom planned his brother's murder for two full years. 

◆ Joab's rendition of Absalom and Amnon's case. 2 Samuel 14:6-7

◆ David and Absalom. A classic case of people of the same nation in bloody fighting against each other. David the king had to flee from his own murderous son!

Household wickedness needs to be cast out as a collection ie household wickedness spirits, because they are many and of different types all working together.

The strongman leading them is what we call household wickedness. The strongman is what you deal with and his minions under him will leave with him too.

When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. ~ Luke 11:21-22.

No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. ~ Mark 3:27
