Jesus referred to Himself as the Truth in John 14:6. Since the Bible tells us in today’s memory verse that the truth shall make you free, it means that if you have Jesus, you are free from bondage. John 8:36 says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” If you have the Son, it means that you can never be in any kind of bondage.
The devil destroys many people by putting them in bondage. Also, when he sees that he cannot stop believers from serving God, he will look for a loophole in their lives through which he can put them in bondage. A fellow’s physical strength is useless if he or she is in bondage. This is why policemen arrest people in handcuffs. It is so that they cannot escape, even if they are stronger than the policemen.
There are quite a lot of people who have been chained by forces of darkness. If such people engage in a business that others are prospering in, for instance, they will become bankrupt. However, there is a God, whose name is the Truth, who is willing and able to set them free. I decree today, if you are experiencing bondage in any area of your life, the forces that have held you bound shall be scattered in different directions, in Jesus’ name.
Many Christians are in the bondage of poverty because they don’t know the truth about their wealthy heritage in Christ. The greatest bondage a fellow can experience is the bondage of the mind. There are so many blessings that are available to the children of God, but unfortunately, many Christians do not access them because they don’t know the Truth. The Truth is the Word of God according to John 17:17. The more you study God’s word with the help of the Holy Spirit, the more you will understand your divine rights in Christ and the blessings that He has made available to you. This will ensure that the devil cannot bring you under any form of bondage.
Beloved, if it seems like you are experiencing bondage in any area of your life, study what the word of God says about that aspect of your life. Listen to sermons and read books by genuine men of God about that particular area of life. As you study, the entrance of the word will bring light to you, and you will be liberated forever.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, open my eyes to Your truth so that I will walk in Your glorious liberty.
