The Making
Genesis 50:20 “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.”
Act 16:16-29 (please read) is a clear example of how God makes a way out of chains and prison. Even right now, some people reading this are saying, ‘I am tired of this bondage and prison, God’. Today you are walking out free in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Open The Door
Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV, emphasis added).
The first prison Jesus is The Door for us to exit from is the Prison of Pretending. The second is the Prison of Unforgiveness. And the third prison God wants us to exit is the Prison Of Fear. Fear always locks people out of your life. I have heard people say, ‘I will never let another man hurt me like this again’, Read the rest of this entry
Let It Go!
Luke 11:2-4 “Jesus said, “This is how you should pray: “Father, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come soon. Give us each day the food we need, and forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. And don’t let us yield to temptation.”
Jesus is The Door for us to exit from the Prison of Pretending and from the Prison of Unforgiveness. When it comes to asking for forgiveness, you need to humble yourself and ask. Some people are never able to ask for forgiveness. Some never want to say the phrase, “I am sorry”. Read the rest of this entry
Freedom Walk
Psalms 119:45 “And I’ll stride freely through wide open spaces as I look for your truth and your wisdom.” (MSG)
When I was in secondary school, there was that certain someone I wanted to dance with, go out with, take to the school party. I am sure you know what I am talking about. But guess what? Sometimes, that certain someone turns their back on you. So, we were never able to get the girl we wanted. Read the rest of this entry
Dangerous Paths
Proverbs 29:25 “Fear of man is a dangerous trap, but to trust in God means safety.” (LB, emphasis added)
We began to look at the first of three prisons that Jesus wants us to exit from and the first is the Prison of Pretending. When you wear a mask, you are hiding, and you will get increasingly uncomfortable. Wearing a mask can be exhausting as many of us can attest to from first-hand experience during Read the rest of this entry
To Freedom
Galatians 5:13 “It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don’t use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that’s how freedom grows.” (MSG)
Most times, we have an idea of who we think God is and how we expect God to respond. So, God has to rattle and shake the foundation of such beliefs. However, the beauty is that He does not leave us there. After He has shaken our foundation, Read the rest of this entry
Shake Up
Hebrews 12:27 “By this he means that he will sift out everything without solid foundations so that only unshakable things will be left.” (LB)
Today, we will pick up our discussion from the final thought from yesterday’s devotional. And that is the fact that some doors can actually be traps. For instance, traditions can be a trap. Sometimes, people insist on doing things the way it has always been done so that the outcome can be as it has always been. Read the rest of this entry
