Open Heavens 1 February 2015: Sunday daily devotion by Pastor E. A. Adeboye - A New Beginning of Freedom

Topic: A New Beginning of Freedom [Sunday January 1,
2015]
Memorise: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed. - John 8:36
Read: (Exodus 15:13-17 KJV)
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou
hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto
thy holy habitation.
14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take
hold on the inhabitants of Palestina.
15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty
men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the
inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away.
16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of
thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people
pass over, O LORD, till the people pass over, which thou
hast purchased.
17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the
mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O LORD, which
thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O
Lord, which thy hands have established.
Bible in one year: Jeremiah 22:11-23:40 and Acts
18:24-19:20
MESSAGE:
A new beginning of freedom can be viewed from different
perspectives. It can be seen as the awareness of bondage,
the rejection of labels and stigmas imposed by others, or
deliverance from slavery and servitude. A new beginning of
freedom can also refer to the elimination of former
constraints, the dawn of a new day or the raising of the sun
over darkness. However, since freedom denotes salvation
or deliverance from oppression or bondage, a saviour or
deliverer is required before freedom can be attained.
Many are in bondage without realising it. Long years of
hardship have forced so many to accept suffering as
normal. I pray that God will open your eyes to the reality of
your situation in Jesus’ Name. Some people have been
labelled and stigmatised by the enemy. Some of such
people even enjoy and take pride of such labels. Today,
your eyes will be opened, and you will reject all evil labels
and stigmas upon your life in the Name of Jesus. Some
people are remotely controlled, constrained or enslaved by
unseen higher powers, to do things that are contrary to the
commandants of God and their own wellbeing. I decree that
God will deliver you all bondage and give you a new
beginning of freedom today in Jesus’ Name.
The Bible in John 4:42 proclaimed Jesus as the Saviour of
the world, and John 8:36 declare that if He sets you free,
you will be free indeed. The primary assignment of Jesus
Christ on earth is to save and deliver those who accept His
as Lord and Saviour, and also to destroy the works of the
devil in their lives. If you desire total freedom from all the
evil elements of this world and from the influence of Satan
and his demonic hosts, you must first accept Jesus as your
Lord and Saviour today, He will deliver you from every
opposition to the fulfilment of your destiny, and give you a
new beginning of freedom in the Name of Jesus.
Jesus has the power of set you free from sin and its
consequences (Matthew 1:21, 1 Thessalonians 1:10 ).
Jesus can deliver you totally from the fear of death and
from death itself (Hebrews 2:14-15, 1 Corinthians
15:54-55 ). Jesus can set you free from the power of Satan
and his demonic hosts because all power in heaven and
earth belong to Him (Matthew 28:18 ). I therefore decree in
the Name that is above every other name: be free from sin,
oppression, servitude, sickness, poverty, and failure.
Action Point : Accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour today,
and begin to enjoy a new beginning of freedom.
