MESSAGE
One of the many ways the devil uses to keep men in bondage is ignorance. Truly, many people perish today because of a lack of knowledge of God for themselves.
The devil even will do anything to block a man from hearing the gospel, because he knows when such a heart hears the gospel, he will be exposed to the truth and thereby experience his freedom. That’s why the Bible says:
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV
Men will continue to sit in the regions of the shadow of death until You rise and shine the light of the gospel. It is until the light shines that darkness gives way, therefore do more to share the gospel with others.
Truth is light, it breaks bondages and brings men into a new life. Jesus is this truth that the world needs today. He said in John 14:6, that, He is the way, the truth, and the life. When a man has Jesus, he can not be confused, he is guided by the light of life.
One way the devil however tries to keep believers bound is by preventing them from knowing the truth from the scriptures. He knows that once you come in contact with the truth of the scripture, then those problems in your life would be solved. Don’t be too busy to be studying the scriptures so that you can receive all the help God has prepared for your life.
Dear Christian, stay with the word of God, in it is deliverance and freedom. Let the word of God be a light to your path and you will never miss the way in Jesus’ Name.
Sinners who don’t know The Truth I.e. Jesus, will continue to live in bondage and will never experience freedom. The freedom and deliverance of God will come upon you if you come into the truth of Christ.
REFLECTION
The word of God brings light and freedom to those who are oppressed.
PRAYER
Father, send your word into my life today and give me total freedom in every aspect of my life.
