God of DeliveranceSpeaker: Dr. Paul Dhinakaran Gist: When you believe in Lord Jesus Christ, He will deliver you from the bondages in your life. Dear friend, do hopeless circumstances keep you bound in life? Cheer up! Lord Jesus will deliver you from the hopeless circumstances and will give you victory over them. Jesus Christ came to earth to destroy the works of the devil and to redeem mankind from sin.
Abraham Lincoln, the American President, was shot dead by a hard hearted person called John Wilkes Booth while he (the President) was watching a play. The whole world mourned over his death especially the black people because he delivered them from slavery. They were slaves and were treated in a ruthless manner by the white people who were their masters. When Abraham Lincoln became President, he took a vow, saying, "I will not allow the practice of slavery anymore." He abolished slavery despite strong opposition from the white people.
When his body was being taken to be buried, thousands of people turned up to pay their last respects to the great man. A black woman, watching the cortege, was overwhelmed with emotion. She lifted her child and, with tears streaming down her cheeks, said, "Honey, have a last glimpse of the man who gave his life to liberate you from slavery!”
Similarly, Jesus Christ gave His life on the cross to deliver mankind from sin by defeating the devil and his hosts at the cross. The Lord says in John 16:33, "... I have overcome the world." He also says, "I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore" (Revelation 1:18).
There is hope to all who believe in the Lord. The Lord shall deliver you from your hopeless circumstances and enable you to overcome the world as He did when He was in this world. The Bible says, “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36).
Commit your life into His hands for He will cause it to prosper. The Lord promises you saying, "If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. (John 14:14). He has authority in heaven and the earth and will deliver you from your bondages and shall fill your life with blessings and make you happy.
Prayer:
Loving Lord Jesus,
I praise You for defeating the devil and his hosts at the cross and liberating mankind from sin. Lord, I give my life into Your hands, mould and make me into a person who brings glory to You. Strengthen me to overcome the world as You did when You were in this world. Set me free from things that are displeasing to You and help me live a holy life. I give You all glory, honour and praise.
Amen. |
