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..

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

THE UNLIMITED GOD 2

THE UNLIMITED GOD 2 I start with Psalm 34 vs.8: O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that trusts in Him. Only those who have tasted the Unlimited GOD’s signs and wonder can say. The Israelites saw His mighty works. At a point He rained manna from heaven that they may be fed. He is ALL SUFFICIENT. When you are looking at a way, He has diverse of other ways. His ways are not ours; neither are His thoughts ours. As the heaven is far from the earth, so His ways are. GOD’s power cannot be limited and confined. It is far beyond human comprehension. When He does something, He does to be glorified. The whole world sees and know of a surety this is the hand of GOD. I can’t write all about GOD’s supernaturality. It is beyond extraordinary. It is paranormal. It is preternatural. Ephesians 3 vs. 20: Now to Him that is able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works is us. GOD by his power work within us and does far mor...
