AND THE PRISON DOORS WERE OPENED ------------------------- ACTS 16:26 A prison is a place where people who have been convicted of any kind of crime are being kept to serve their jail terms.Sentences vary based on the gravity of the offense and verdict of the judge.If there is a successful appeal, such a sentence can be revoked,if not the sentence stands and such a person is jailed. Beloved,as there are physical jails,there exists spiritual jails where people and their destinies are kept to  serve punishment rightly or wrongly. Joseph,an he brew young man living in Egypt was sent to jail unjustly by his boss based on a groundless accusation from his wife that was not proved beyond reasonable doubt.Though the evidence presented was enough to convict Joseph, yet the young man was innocent of the offense.Genesis 39:12-20  Joseph was in prison for two years serving for a crime he never committed until a period when the chief butler told Pharaoh about him and his gift...

PASS JUDGEMENT ON ATHALIAH -SENTENCE HER TO DEATH And all the people of the land rejoiced,and the city was in quiet;and they slew Athaliah with the sword beside the king's house .2Kings 11:20 A thaliah,an offshoot of Ahab and Jezebel had inherited the same wicked spirit and act noticeable and visible in her parents.Just like her mother,she was also given to witchcraft and idolatry and became a threat to God's people. She committed genocide and infanticide against royal blood because her wicked son was killed by a godly king anointed by God to wipe out her parents evil influence on the land.She took control of the land and ruled tyrannically opposing every godly move of the land.Athaliah was an embodiment of wickedness and a specie of idolatry. During her reign,a godly woman preserved a royal blood called Jo ash who was groomed in the temple by Jehoiada the high priest.He protected,preserved and prepared the young child to mount his father's throne...

DELIVERANCE FOR THE OPPRESSED Thus says the LORD of hosts:The children of Israel were oppressed,along with the children of Judah;all who took them captive have held them fast,they have refused to let them go.Jeremiah 50:33 Oppression is a word used freely but only the oppressed knows the actual pain and agony experienced in the hands of their oppressors.Oppression is a tool on the hands of the wicked put to use so as to subjugate people to nothingness. Oppressed people are people bent beneath heavy loads of affliction placed on them by the devil or his agents in order to keep them in perpetual pain. Judah and Israel were oppressed simultaneously because of their sins.But alas,the oppressors were brutal and wicked by refusing them freedom which prompted God to promise deliverance thereby silencing the threats and pains of Babylon. Oppressors are brutal leaders who operate without mercy in their dealings with their captors(oppressed)while the oppressed are the ones heavily b...

HARVESTERS OF LABOR So it was,whenever Israel had sown,Midianites would come up; ---------------- then they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza and leave no sustenance for Israel,neither sheep,nor ox nor donkey.Judges 6:4-5 The scriptural passage here is a vivid illustration of economic hardship and difficulty on the people of God by their enemies.A case of poverty,lack and suffering which brings grief and pain.The children of Israel would labor vigorously as farmers,gardeners and shepherds etc to generate produce in order to raise income only to see their efforts harvested in their presence by armed bandits and raiders without resistance. They labored for others to eat,therefore,making their lives miserable and horrible which left them impoverished in their own land.The Israelite s ended up as abjects in their own land and resorted to living in caves and dens because of labor harvesters. Harvesters of labor are terrible agents,spir...

TASKMASTERS!!!AGENTS OF AFFLICTION And the LORD said,I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt,and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters.Exodus 3:7 Chidiebere is a hardworking young man with prospects for success.With the rate and pace at which he is operating,he should be wealthy in the nearest future. Recently during an interaction with a friend,he agonizingly complained that his finances was in a mess despite the enormity of his paycheck.He is not financing a mortgage nor repaying a loan and not embarking on a capital project,yet he finds it hard paying his bills as at when due.What baffles him most is that despite his frugality,yet he has a lot of unpaid bills and debts hanging around his neck. He neither drinks nor womanizes and yet his income is in a bad shape. He is getting tired of life because of his financial misfortune until recently,when he sought spiritual counsel and it was revealed to him that he had been handed over to ...

PAYBACK TIME O daughter of Babylon,who art to be destroyed;happy shall he be,that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.Psalm 137:8 The wickedness of man towards his fellow man on earth is unbecoming. While God advocates that love be shown to each other,it is surprising to see hatred,wickedness and animosity almost everywhere.As images of God,we were created to express God s will on earth, but unfortunately, opposite is the case and fulfilling this mandate is almost becoming a mirage as a result of the presence of Satan on earth. Babylon, a former world power in the 7th century BC,is known for wickedness based on its dealings with its conquered subjects.Though Israel had sinned against God and Babylon;God's tool of punishment aided God's judgement over his people in the form of reckless brutality, oppression,deportation and devastation of the Jews.Zechariah 1:15 Today,through observation,it is noticeable that affliction and pain has been aided most time  in peopl...
