Seek Your Freedom 2


Anchor Scripture: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8: 39

Further Reading: Deuteronomy 8: 3; Psalm 107: 20, 148: 8; Matthew 3: 10, 4: 1 - 10; John 1: 1 - 3

Admonition 
Greetings to you from the Throne of Grace, brethren.
Yesterday, God opened our eyes to the thing from which we should seek freedom; it is sin because without sin, everything holding man down and dominating man has no such authority. The authority of sickness, poverty, hatred, witches, wizards, powers and principalities over man derive from man’s sins.

Today, God wants to tell us briefly how really to seek our freedom from sin. In our anchor Scripture, Jesus Christ says that the only thing that could set us free is the TRUTH, and we need to know the truth before it could set us free.

The question that comes to mind is: what is the TRUTH that will set us free? We find the answer to that question in John 17: 17 which says, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” And in John 8: 31 - 32, Jesus says, “if ye continue in my word . . . ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

Hurrah! We have found the TRUTH! His Word is the truth that has the capacity to set us free. With His Word, we could be free from sin and every agent of darkness. All we need do is: find the right Word, know it, speak it and believe it. Boom! You’re FREE!

I think the challenge we have is knowing the truth. Many of us have been fed with so much lies and heresies, sometimes, in the name of doctrines that it has become so difficult to search for and believe the truth even when anyone tries to show or tell us. It is a bad pity that many Christians today “serve God” with what the Bible calls “the wisdom of men.” (1 Cor. 2: 5) Aside from sins, that is another reason God seemed powerless in many of our situations today.

As we close for today, everyone who wants to FINISH STRONGLY with God must necessarily and urgently take the Word of God seriously. Any Christian doing the contrary, relying only on what their church leaders and founders say alone, is doing so at their own perils. God Himself, values His Word more than all His Names (Psalm 138: 2b).

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Yours in Him,

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
