Today's TOPIC: FREEDOM FROM CAPTIVITY.

SCRIPTURE: I am the Lord your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright. LEVITICUS 26 verse 13. Hallelujah!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When people are in captivity, they are deprived of what is theirs.

I welcome you to the tenth month of the year. And I decree that in this tenth month, God shall give you freedom from every form of captivity in your life, in Jesus Name. Amen!

It is interesting to know that one of the sweetest things on earth is freedom. One may not know the value of freedom until it is lost.

Many years ago, as a medical doctor, I served in the prison briefly. I had some tear-provoking experiences watching the lives of people whose freedom had been allegedly compromised by one form of crime or the other. When you see how prisoners worship God, you will be amazed; you will know the value of freedom.

The way many of them talk to people who are free suggests that they also want to be free. So, freedom is a sweet thing.

You see, as it is in the physical, so is it in the spiritual. It is sweet to be free in the spiritual.

Now, let us take a look at the implication of being in captivity so we can value freedom and pursue it.

The question is, what does it mean to be in captivity?
Being in captivity means:

#1. The restriction or denial of right and privileges (Leviticus 26 verse 13).

When people are in captivity, they are deprived of what is theirs. Every other person can have what is theirs, but not people in captivity. As for free people, it may be easy, but for those in captivity, it is not easy. Life is hard for people in captivity, especially spiritual captivity.

They may say, “But I deserve to be married at this time. I deserve to have a job because of my excellent result,” but there is a restriction or a denial of their rights and privileges because they are under captivity.

#2. The denial of self-determination (Leviticus 26 verse 13).

A person in captivity is denied his right to self-determination. Such person is denied the ability to determine what they want. Others seem to be in control of the schedules and events of their lives. But people in captivity do not have such luxury.

This is the realm where a diabolic person would tell someone what would happen; and like a joke, that thing will happen to them like a puppet-master controlling their lives.

Today, by the apostolic and prophetic mantle of God on my life, I decree your freedom from every form of bondage in Jesus Name. Amen!

Remember this: When people are in captivity, they are deprived of what is theirs.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Make up your mind to fight against every form of captivity and bondage in your life.

#2. Make demands on the Blood of Jesus Christ for the release of your life and destiny from every form of bondage and captivity. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Father, I decree that every form of captivity and bondage on my life and destiny be broken today in Jesus’ Name. I receive my total freedom by the Blood of Jesus in Jesus Name. Amen!

QUOTE: When Satan knows that even if he multiplied himself a million times, he cannot destroy a person’s life, he will do whatever he can to see that the person commits a sin. Culled from the book, “15 Kingdom Strategies For Survival” by Dr Paul Enenche.

Today's DAILY READING: from the book of Zechariah chapter 3 to 5.

We start with Zechariah chapter 3, Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.”So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by. Then the Angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts:‘If you will walk in My ways,And if you will keep My command,Then you shall also judge My house,And likewise have charge of My courts;I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here. ‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,You and your companions who sit before you,For they are a wondrous sign;For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH. For behold, the stoneThat I have laid before Joshua:Upon the stone are seven eyes.Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’Says the Lord of hosts,‘And I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day,’ says the Lord of hosts,‘Everyone will invite his neighborUnder his vine and under his fig tree.’ ” hallelujah!

Zechariah chapter 4, Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. And he said to me, “What do you see?”So I said, “I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps. Two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?” Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?”And I said, “No, my lord.” So he answered and said to me:“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain?Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!” ’ ” Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “The hands of Zerubbabel Have laid the foundation of this temple;His hands shall also finish it.Then you will know That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. For who has despised the day of small things?For these seven rejoice to seeThe plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.They are the eyes of the Lord,Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth.” Then I answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?” And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?” Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?”And I said, “No, my lord.” So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.” hallelujah!

Zechariah chapter 5, Then I turned and raised my eyes, and saw there a flying scroll. And he said to me, “What do you see?”So I answered, “I see a flying scroll. Its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits.” Then he said to me, “This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth: ‘Every thief shall be expelled,’ according to this side of the scroll; and, ‘Every perjurer shall be expelled,’ according to that side of it.” “I will send out the curse,” says the Lord of hosts;“It shall enter the house of the thief And the house of the one who swears falsely by My name.It shall remain in the midst of his house And consume it, with its timber and stones.” Then the angel who talked with me came out and said to me, “Lift your eyes now, and see what this is that goes forth.” So I asked, “What is it?” And he said, “It is a basket that is going forth.”He also said, “This is their resemblance throughout the earth: Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting inside the basket”; then he said, “This is Wickedness!” And he thrust her down into the basket, and threw the lead cover over its mouth. Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were two women, coming with the wind in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. So I said to the angel who talked with me, “Where are they carrying the basket?” And he said to me, “To build a house for it in the land of Shinar; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base.” hallelujah!
