Prison Break

Day 235

Reading: Micah 1:1 - Micah 4:13

If you asked many people today what is the singular word to describe the miracle they need I wouldn't be surprised if it is 'breakthrough'. Many feel imprisoned and are crying to break out. We all are crying for a breakthrough in one area or other. It may be a breakthrough in the family, marital arena, finances, business, career, health, social or at a national level. We today are facing a litany of issues that are weighing many down. Just speak to many people and you will realise that stress for many is becoming the norm yet God called us to live in joy and peace Psalms 23. 

Micah is sent to prophesy judgement to the children of Israel for the wayward ways in their worship and livelihood. In the midst of His prophecy, he declares that their redemption would come in the place of their captivity. That place where you are crying about, that place or situation making you moan and wail in prayer, that issue that is mocking your existence and faith in God, that challenge that is a giant that is mocking you it will be the place of greatest victory. Child of God Goliath gave David access to national prominence. That giant before you will catapult you to greatness. 

Right now you may appear scattered and all beaten up. You may be the story of the greatest fall. I have good news for you. Micah declares that God would gather His own. Get ready to receive the power to gather what is yours as God gathers His own. God doesn't gather His own outside but inside the place of captivity. Remember the children of Israel were in Egypt as slaves. God gathered them and led them out of captivity. God used a leader called Moses and went before His people as He led them to break out of slavery. 

God promises that the one who breaks open will come up before you and me leading us to freedom. You will break out, pass through the gate that has been kept locked to enslave you and go through it without any hindrance. You are walking away from that debilitating disease. Get ready for a turn around in your circumstances. The enslaved will soon be free and in possession of their own possessions. Have an expectation that you soon will be on your own land. Build an expectation that soon your promotion will be in your hands. Open your inner eyes to see that God is leading you out of the place that has bound you. God personally will ensure you are free. He is the One who is the Lord of the Breaking Out. God holds the key and map to your prison break. 

What is the secret to my prison break moment? 
  • Have faith in God 2 Chronicles 20:20
  • Prayer. Remember Jabez 1 Chronicles 4:9
  • Praise 2 Chronicles 20:22.
  • Hold onto the Word of God. Obey the Word. Deuteronomy 28:1-2, Joshua 21:45
Memory Verse: Micah 4:1-2

Decree:


Micah 2:13
The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the Lord at their head.” (italics mine)

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...

Berachah

Day 126 Reading: 2 Chronicles 20:1 - 2 Chronicles 22:12 While meditating on the above portion of scriptures hope was rising within as I realised that God is indeed more than able to fight for me. I don't know what is ailing you or contending with your well being. What I know is that God is able to resolve the crisis for good. King Jehoshaphat was advised that a great army was coming to fight him. Fear gripped him and he ran to God. He summoned the entire nation to seek the face of God. While he made prayer for salvation from the enemy the entire nation including children were together fasting in prayer. He understood that in trouble one should run to God. The king didn't run to other nations to fight for him. Nope, He ran to God. Run to God always. In the midst of an entire nation seeking God, a prophet arose who declared the counsel of God. The battle belongs to God. Always remind yourself that in every battle God is with you. The prophet even instructed where...
