Text: Galatians 5:1(KJV)
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath
made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
In a time like this,
we must remember freedom is what we have, and that is because Christ has made
us free. The freedom we are discussing today is freedom from the bondage of
sin. Christ has fought for us and has won the victory, so we are meant to live
a free life (a life where we are no longer slaves to sin). This is our
inheritance. 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) - But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and
death through our Lord Jesus Christ. The challenges that
we face in our world of today are there to threaten our faith, but the question
before us is when threatened, where do you stand? Do you submit to those
circumstances around you, or do you dwell on the Word of God and use it to
strengthen your faith? Joshua.1:8a-This book of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe
to do according to all that is written therein. The Word of God is our weapon, and we are meant to meditate on it both
day and night. This Word of God is filled with truth, so we should stand on it
so as to follow the right path.
I tell you, it is time to stand strong,
fit, firm, and capable. We should not be swinging from pillar to post in search
of a solution. The greatest strength we need now is in searching to know the
mind of God concerning any matter. Let our foundation of standing be based on
the word of truth. Daniel 11:32b- But the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do exploits. It is time to resist those issues of
life. We must genuinely stand on the God we serve. We can still do exploits and
remarkable things in the phase of opposition. Therefore, we need to stay
courageous and loyal to God. The energy to carry on is not in the flesh or on
whatever thing you have believed on, but it is in-built
in us by our stand with God. We should love and not hate the things of God even
in the minutest form because there are several discouragements in our vicinity.
I encourage us to identify what takes us back to the yoke of bondage and keep
off. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Oh Lord, please help us to put on the
whole armour of God, so as to stand firm against the strategy of the devil, in
Jesus name.
2. Father, no matter the happenings of
this world, may we stand firm and resolute in our faith, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Did you know that your standing firm in God makes you stand above the
devil tricks?
