Topic: The Bondage-Breaking Power of God
[Seeds of Destiny 14 February 2019 Devotional]
SCRIPTURE: And it shall come to pass in that day, “that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.” Isaiah 10:27
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity.
Yesterday, we saw that no matter the negative situation you might be passing through, God is interested in bringing it to an end. God is ready to set us free from every bondage and captivity of life. We also saw three keys to terminating bondage; we saw that the decision to be born again, engaging the power of God’s Word and praise are keys to terminating captivities.
In order to make further explorations into the keys to terminating captivities, “we shall look at three more keys”:
1.The power of sacrifice
Sacrifice is a captivity terminator and bondage breaker (Psalms 126:1-6, Genesis 8:20-21). The sacrifice on the altar takes away curses from the land. Sacrifice also turns around the battles of life.
2.The power of fasting
Fasting undoes “heavy burdens, loosens the bands of wickedness and lets the oppressed go free” (Isaiah 58:6). Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity (Matthew 17:21).
3.The power of the prophetic covering
Your prison tenure can expire by your prophetic cover (Hosea 12:13). The children of Israel were preserved by the prophetic cover over their lives and were also brought out of captivity by the same cover.
4.The power of the anointing
The anointing breaks bondages and destroys yokes (Acts 10:38, Isaiah 10:27). Anointing in this context is not just the oil but the Presence of God that flows through the oil. The Anointing is the Spirit and Presence of God on a man’s life.
Beloved, my counsel is, maximize the power of sacrifice, fasting, prophetic cover and the anointing to terminate every form of captivity in your life.
Remember this: Fasting combined with prayer is key to terminating captivity.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1.Make up your mind to engage the power of sacrifice and fasting to terminate your captivity.
2.Never neglect prophetic cover; maintain the Presence of God in your life.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace to combine the power of sacrifice, fasting, prophetic covering and the anointing to break every form of captivity in my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
