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,

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 of...

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Stop Impersonating

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: “ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness .” – Romans 1: 18 Scripture References: Matthew 7: 21 - 23; John 1: 12 – 13, 3: 1 - 7; Acts 19: 1 – 6, 11 – 20; Romans 1: 18 – 32; 2 Corinthians 13: 4 - 10 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace!

The Holy Spirit mentioned on Wednesday that many Christians live on the assumption that they are born-ag...

BEWARE OF BALAAM'S DOCTRINE

Anchor Scripture: “. . . Verily when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9: 18 Scripture References: Numbers 22: 1 – 7; 1 Corinthians 9: 1 –27; Matthew 10: 7 - 8 The Balaam’s doctrine is it that encourages children of God to do the work of God for carnal rewards. And the children of God caught up in the web of Balaam’s doctrine are those who preach the Gospel of Christ for one reward or the other. Such “servants of God” use a lot of scriptures to spiritualize and legalize their collections of material and carnal rewards from the congregation. However, we thank God for servants of God like Apostle Paul, who really followed the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in that he refused to abuse the authority he had over his congregations by which he could have become rich and wealthy as many of our ministers today, for Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 10: 7 - 8 thus: “ And as ye go, pre...
