DEVOTION ~ SET THE CAPTIVES FREE

Theme: Set the Captives Free
Text: 2 Timothy 2:26
26 And that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.



In yesterday's devotion, we learned that we must correct those who oppose the truth in humility so that they can receive the grace of repentance. Today's text speaks on the essence of correcting unbelievers in humility. We will look at two significance of correcting the unbelievers. First, the correction is meant to bring them to their senses. Since they know not the truth, their mindset and way of seeing things deviate from the truth. When they receive the repentance of God, they get to know the truth. Second, it also helps them to escape the snare of the devil. The devil has taken them captive to do his will therefore they have become blind to the truth. Our humble correction orient them to the truth and liberates them from the deceit of the devil. Dear beloved in the Lord, have you set a captive free in the year? Ask God to grant you the divine guidance and strength to liberate many from the bondage of the devil. 



Let us Pray: Almighty God, breathe upon me the the power to set free the captives of the devil with the knowledge of truth. O God! Let those who have not embraced the Gospel of truth come to their sense to please You. This I ask in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
