TOPIC: Something Worse Than Demonic Captivity (Seeds Of Destiny 16 November 2024)

SCRIPTURE: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:1-2.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The worst form of captivity on earth is not demonic captivity but mental captivity.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:

The story of the journey of the children of Israel from the land of Egypt to the Promised Land provides many instructions to learn from.

God brought them out of Egypt, but they could not enter Canaan because of murmuring and unbelief. God delivered them from the bondage of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the chain of the same bondage (of murmuring and unbelief) maintained a firm grip on their minds.

Consequently, that generation perished in the wilderness on their way to the Promised Land, except Joshua and Caleb.

This shows that there is something worse than physical captivity. There is a form of captivity that is worse than physical captivity. There is something worse than the hold of witches and wizards. There is something worse than the hold of our ancestral spirits. It is called mental captivity!

The children of Israel came out of Egypt, but Egypt didn’t come out of them. They came out of slavery, but slavery didn’t come out of them.

Their mental bondage is likened to the analogy of a coca cola bottle inside an ocean. Even if you bring out the coca cola bottle out of the ocean, there is still ocean (water) inside the bottle.

Israel had been brought out of Egypt, but Egypt had not been brought out of Israel.

You see, the worst form of captivity on earth is not demonic captivity but mental captivity. A person could be physically free, but mentally enslaved. Even God cannot help such a person.
So, the way to be delivered from mental bondage is the way of knowledge; it is called mental renewal (Romans 12:1-3).

My counsel is, determine to renew your mind always with the Word of God.

Remember this: The worst form of captivity on earth is not demonic captivity but mental captivity.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Refuse to be mentally enslaved.
2. Embrace the discipline of renewing your mind always with the Word of God.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from every form of mental bondage or captivity. I receive the grace to renew my mind with Your Word always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: When your word comes your captivity ends. Culled from the book, “30 Secrets to the Top” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Romans 6-8.

AMAZING FACT: Lions can survive for days on just one large meal.

PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): The grip of mental bondage be broken off your life by the light of God’s Word, in Jesus’ Name.
