Topic: The Word Of God And The Blessing Of Freedom [1st October 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalms 107:20.
Thought For The Day: The truth you know determines the freedom you attain; it is revelation that sponsors liberation.
Today is a very significant day in the history of our Nation, Nigeria; it is a day that marks the anniversary of our freedom or independence from our colonial masters. In a day like this, it is very important to look at the subject of freedom that emanates from God’s Word as it relates to our personal lives in particular and the nation in general.
Freedom can be defined as the state of being free, of not being imprisoned or enslaved. It is a state of being at liberty rather than being in confinement or under physical restraint and bondage.
The Bible makes it clear that it is God’s Will for His children to be free from every form of bondage. That is why He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to set us free from every bondage and yoke of sin, satan and the system of the world (John 10:10, John 8:32, 36).
Now, one of the forces that guarantee freedom is the Word of God (Psalms 107:20). The Word of God is a sponsor of freedom; the Word of God has the potency to set mankind free from every captivity of the enemy – be it the captivity of iniquity, insanity, poverty, infirmity, demonic affliction or witchcraft manipulation.
Therefore, to be connected to God’s Word is to be set free in life; freedom is a blessing of God’s Word. On the other hand, to be disconnected from God’s Word is to be cursed. The truth you know determines the freedom you attain; it is revelation that sponsors liberation (John 8:32).
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to study God’s Word diligently on a continual basis. Freedom is not for lazy Christians but for those who are serious with God and diligent in the study of His Word. Anything that denies you access to God’s Word deprives you access to freedom. Maintain your access to the Word of God on a continual basis.
Remember This: The truth you know determines the freedom you attain; it is revelation that sponsors liberation.
