The evil result of discouragement by Dr. Daniel Olukoya

Whenever you are discouraged, seven tragedies happen and I am using this medium, as a prophet, to caution you over them. You need to avoid such statements as, ‘another year has just gone, I am praying and nothing has happened yet’. No beloved, don’t say such things again; they are dangerous statements as far as divine order is concerned. Heaven is definitely working out something as long as you are sincere in the place of prayer.
YOU START PRAYING THE WRONG PRAYERS.
1 Kings 19:4
But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
YOU SAY THE WRONG THINGS.
 Job 3:3
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.’
 YOU BEGIN TO THINK THE WRONG THINGS.
That’s what happened to John the Baptist when he sent somebody to Jesus to find out whether He was the Messiah or not. This was a pure work of discouragement. He had met Jesus before when he baptised Him and there was a sign evident that Jesus was the Messiah. But because his expectations about his knowledge of the Messiah were not satisfied, he was discouraged and doubted Jesus as the Messiah.
YOU DO THE WRONG THINGS.
In Numbers 20, you see Moses smiting the rock instead of speaking to it. When a man does the wrong things it simply means he is under the control of something different from himself. When the spirit of discouragement enters the heart, it holds it and directs it to any desired direction and in most cases, it takes it to the wrong end.
YOU BEGIN TO SEE THE WRONG THINGS.
You begin to see difficulties instead of God’s power. The twelve men that went to spy the Promised Land came back with the scary news that there were giants there. They saw giants instead of God because they were discouraged by the height of the giants and they saw the impossibility of conquering them.
YOU END UP IN A WRONG DESTINATION.
Jonah eventually ended up in the belly of the fish because of discouragement.
YOU ALLOW AN ARRAY OF FIFTEEN WRONG SPIRITS TO ENTER YOU.
By this, you can see why the devil refers to discouragement as his most useful weapon; he uses it to evoke fifteen different wrong spirits and they are:
Watch-out to read about the 15 Wrongs Spirit!
