THE CAPTIVITY

THE CAPTIVITY
Many a time people find themselves as captives in the hands of the enemy. A captive is one who has been captured or is otherwise confined. He is held as a prisoner. Captivity is the state of being captive. When a person is held captive, he is grounded. When a person is held captive, he is in great affliction. When a person is held captive, he is a slave. Captivity leads to reproach, frustration, pain, sorrow, unrest and stagnation. It is not a good thing to be in captivity. Captivity leads one away from the promise land. Jeremiah said in Lamentation 1 vs.3: Why is Judah led away, a slave? Because of all the wrong she did to others, making them their slaves. Now she sits in exile far away. There is no rest, for those she persecuted have turned and conquered her. Many a time people enter into captivity because of their wrong deeds; many a time people enter into captivity because of theirs parents or family’s past wrong deeds. Lamentation 1 vs. 5: Her enemies prosper, for the LORD has punished Jerusalem for all her many sins, her young children are captured and taken far away as slaves. Proverb 14 vs. 34: Righteousness exalts a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. To get out of captivity we must point out our sins and ask for GOD’s mercy; that is when GOD can turn our captivity. Deuteronomy 30 vs. 3: That then the LORD thy GOD will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all nations, wither the LORD thy GOD hath scattered thee. This can only happen if we return back to the LORD and obey his voice and all He commands.

                 Zion returned back to the LORD, this made GOD turned again their captivity. Psalm 126 vs.1: When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Their mouths were filled with laughter and tongue with singing. They formerly sowed in tears and reaped in sorrow; but when GOD turned their captivity they that formerly sowed in tears, reaped in joy. Only GOD can turn our captivity around. Isaiah 49 vs. 24-25: Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? But thus saith the LORD, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. Provided we bring every high things, that exalt itself against GOD’s knowledge into captivity and every thoughts to the obedience of CHRIST. It is well with us..

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE

ONCE A FAITHFUL WIFE, AND NOW A PROSTITUTE! Compliments of the season from this side of the world to you all!!! Knowledge of the Truth is back and better this year. And I pray this year shall be a favorable one for us all. The word Faithful means reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhering firmly to a rule. It means consistency. It means fidelity. As a wife, it is expected you are reliable, worthy of trust, loyal and adhere to your husband’s rule and command. Ephesians 5 vs. 22: Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD. The husband is in charge of his wife in the same way CHRIST is in charge of his body the Church. A submissive wife will be faithful without any conditions. She makes fidelity her watchword. A submissive wife obeys all her husband rule and command. A submissive wife is conscious of her wrongs. A submissive wife yields to authority (her husband’s). A submissive wife will always stand by her husband in thick and thin. A submissive wif

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS

DREAMS ARE NOT DELUSIONS This is a very fascinating topic, dreams are not delusions. Many do think dreams are just fictions, some see as a normal way of life. Many do not take their dream serious which shouldn’t be, some see dreams as delusions, some don’t even dream, why some forget what they dreamt about. Dream is a medium in which GOD communicates with us, he communicates to us through vision, trance and also consciences, but we are discussing about dream. Although, many a time what you are thinking about before you sleep, you might see it again; but majorly it does not continue like that. The bible said in Job 33 vs 15: In dreams, in vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they lie on their beds; he opens their ears in time like that and gives them wisdom and instruction. That is just a picture of dream, everyone has a dream land; but some’s has been tampered with by the devil. A dream land is an avenue for dreams; GOD gives instructions to us in the dream, ju
