ANOINTING
BREAK YOKES: Devotion for Thursday June
23, 2016
Text: Isaiah 10:24 – 34 Memory verse: v 27
God's
purpose was to use the Assyrian not to destroy, but to purify his people.
Unfortunately, they abused it. Now God is assuring His people that though
Assyria may treat them badly as Egypt did to their forefather, but that bondage
will be broken (10:25). According to prophet Isaiah, God will raise a scourge
against Assyria which will lead to breaking of the yoke of bondage (10:27).
Before now, King Hezekiah has been under heavy bondage of the Assyrians. This
was a grievous yoke and burden to them, but they shall no more pay that tribute
to the king of Assyria. Before this invasion he exacted from them (2 Kings
18:14). Now they shall be no longer at his service, nor lie at his mercy, as
they have done; nor shall he ever again put the country under contribution.
This was God’s assurance.
God
is never pleased to see His children suffer especially in the hands of the
unbelievers. Most times He allows them to have upper hand against us because of
His jealous love for us. By virtue of our repentance, we have been anointed of
God. It is that anointing that will break every yoke of bondage of sin and the
devil in our lives. Every child of God carries this anointing. For this reason
God gave the charge in Ps. 105:15. In the name of God, I decree today that every
yoke on your neck be it sin, indebtedness, poverty, sickness, etc, will be
broken in Jesus name. This is your privilege as a Christian.
Food for Thought: What does Psalm 105:15 imply?
Prayer: God, let your anointing upon my life break every yoke of sin, bondage, captivity, sickness, demonic influence, etc in my life and family.
