UPROOTING THE SPIRIT OF PROFITLESS HARD LABOUR

INTRODUCTION
Under God’s system, every labour is rewarded (Isaiah 3:10). Ideally, every labour should produce profits to the labourer. The Bible says “In all labour, there is profit” (Proverbs 14:23). Profitless hard labour, therefore, is an indication that the sufferer is under an evil taskmaster. It is proof that the fellow is under satanic control or manipulation.
A number of factors may be responsible for profitless hard labour. In most cases, an anti-success spirit is involved in wasting the labour of the victim. Such spirits do not stop people from laboring, but they ensure nothing comes out of the labour. An evil foundation or a sin of disobedience may open the door for the spirit of profitless hard labour. These must be addressed in repentance before we embark on prayer warfare. Our victory is sure in Christ Jesus.
