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...

CAPTIVES OF THE MIGHTY Shall the prey be taken from the mighty,or the captives of the righteous be delivered.But thus says the LORD:Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away,And the prey of the terrible be delivered;Isa 49:24-25 Mighty people have influence over the weak and vulnerable ones in life.The high and mighty in our society have the pendulum of life at their disposal.They swing it in whichever direction it suits them. Their influence varies from the political to financial or economic, to military,academic and spiritual.With these influence,the society can be exploited,raped or manipulated in their favor thus putting people in their captivity. But the worst form of captivity is the spiritual one.This form of enslavement places yokes on men in the spirit realm thus making dwarfs of men and rendering lives unproductive and unfruitful. The spiritual captivity is the worst form of captivity because it allows people go about their normal business in life bu...

DEMONIC OPPRESSION-WHY PEOPLE SUFFER? Then I returned  and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun:And look!the tears of the oppressed,but they have no comforter.Ecclesiastes 4:1 Demons are fallen angels or spirits under the control of Satan in alliance with him to torments lives.Demons are uninhabited spirits delegated by the devil to afflict men.They operate in different spheres of life in various forms to destroy and oppress people.Demons are spirits that can inhabit animate and inanimate objects in order to carry out their assignments.They are tools of oppression in the hands of the devil.They are instruments of affliction and pain. Demonic oppression is very rampant and on the increase in our society. Demonic oppression can be the reason or root cause of many visible and noticeable problems in our society.Its effect is very glaring in our society.Consciously or unconsciously,a lot of people are victims of demonic oppression.Their aims and purpos...

DRUG ADDICTION!!!THE ESCAPE ROUTE Kunle grew up with fire in his eyeballs.You could see excellence written all over him.Right from his primary school days,he stood out in his class till his time in the university.He graduated with the best result during his set and got a mouth watering offer that made him the envy of his friends. But alas,presently he is unemployed,his wife having moved out of their matrimonial home thereby taking custody of the children after filing for divorce.He is disillusioned with life and contemplating suicide,but all he remembers is an act he  learn t  from friends during his undergraduate years which has brought him to the brink of ruin.He was introduced to drugs and grew in the act which is now responsible for his life being in tatters. Drug addiction is a social vice that has destroyed countless lives,destinies,careers,homes,businesses etc.It inflicts pain on people irrespective of their social,political, economic and spiritual ...
