YOUR KEY TO FREEDOM
Memorise: And Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall
make you free. John 8:32
Read: John 3:16-18, 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the
members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the
members of an harlot? God forbid.
16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is
one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without
the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in
your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Bible in year: Judges 20-21, Proverbs 1:20-33

The Old Testament law was not sufficient to make people
flawless before God. So since no man could be adequately justified by the
provision of the law, Jesus had to intervene through His blood to set man free
from the law of sin and death. This is why as true disciples; obedience to the
truth of God is the only way to liberty. The truth of God’s Word sets one free
without any form of condemnation. No legal system or religious doctrine can
ever bring true and complete freedom to people. Freedom comes only through the
truth and grace in God’s Word. Freedom comes to those who are able to see the
truth in God’s Word. You can’t come into the revelation of God’s Word and
remain the same. The moment you have access to the Truth, bondage is
automatically a stranger to your life. There are many people going to Church,
but are still in bondage because they have not got access to the Truth. Lack of
access to the Truth puts you in the same level with those who do not know God.
When things were no
longer going on well for the prodigal son after wasting all the opportunities
he had been given, the scriptures says “….he came to himself” (Luke 15:17). He
had to come to knowledge of the Truth by saying “enough is enough; I should not
continue to be foolish by allowing rebellion to destroy my life further”. He
realised that it is foolishness to continue in self-government. Have things
been so bad that you have been moving in a circle? Maybe you need to take a
break and ask “why am I going through this?” don’t be deceived into believing
that God is the cause of your predicament. I have noticed this insincerity on
the part of many believers. The prodigal son was sincere. He sat himself down
and reasoned. He compared where he was when he had a relationship with his
father to where he was when he had a relationship with his father to where he
had reached after he attained a pre-mature independence. Even servants in his
father’s house were living like kings. I sometimes wonder when people who come
to our programmes for the first time, return with multiple blessings from the
Almighty God and some of those who are regular attendees have no testimonies.
“I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as
servants upon the earth.”
Ecclesiastes 10:7
It is important to tell yourself the truth and refuse to
believe the lies of the enemy. It is time to put an end to a life of falsehood.
You cannot serve God in spirit and in truth and still live in stagnation. Do
not believe the lies of the devils that says without cheating you cannot be
successful. Don’t believe that without engaging in fraud, you cannot be
wealthy. Don’t believe that without pulling down others you cannot rise. Don’t
believe that without sleeping around you cannot win the contract. Don’t believe
that without examination malpractices you cannot gain admission. You need to
ask for the grace to be true to yourself. It is the truth you know that will
set you free. Jesus is the Truth. Do you know Jesus or you only claim to know
Him?
Prayer Point
Father, deliver me from the spirit of insincerity
