As I read the bible I have come to realise that God has entrusted me with the potential to succeed. Many times in the journey of life we encounter situations that are akin to captivity. Life sometimes just takes a turn when all seems to be working out. Sometimes we are the cause of the trouble that is troubling us.
Throughout the history of the children of God, the seed of Abraham, they have seen captivity many times. The main reason behind their captivity has been disobedience to the Word of God. The covenant God established with His children is one that protects from the enemy when fully complied to. A thorough reading of Deut 28 reveals the blessings that result from obedience to the Word and also the curses that follow disobedience. The book of Jeremiah reveals a time where captivity became the norm as they exchanged gods and forsook the God of Abraham and choose idols.
One thought has being playing on my mind all day. What have I allowed to take the place of my God? Is there anything that has become more important than God? Is there anything or anyone that is bigger than God in my life? Do I give my time, life, investments, anything that is mine with a heart of love or am I doing things just to look good before mankind? Is my heart pure before God or have i become a hypocrite? Do I serve from my heart or is it just to please others?
Sin is the biggest barrier to progress. Sin is the doorway to captivity. Sin is the ramp leading to hell. I have made a choice to lead a simple life. A simple life is one after the heart beat of God. Anything else I have chosen to de-clutter my life and follow after the heart of God. God sent Moses to tell Pharaoh to set the people of Israel free that they may go and worship God Exo 5:1. God has one desire for you and I, that is to worship Him with our everything.
I urge you to live a lifestyle of worship. Worshipping God will ensure that you are protected even when trouble seems to surround others. Worship will keep you far from sin.
