SCRIPTURE: Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness
of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The lack of desire for God establishes a person in
bondage.
We live in a world of diverse kinds of bondage and captivity. The devil is
doing overtime in establishing many people in captivity because his time is
short (Rev. 12:12). But the good news is that every chain is breakable and
every form of captivity can be terminated by the Power of God.
Now, one thing that breaks chains and terminates captivity is the Presence
of God. Chains and bondages cannot exist in the Presence of God. The chains
broke and the prison door opened when Paul and Silas praised the God Who
inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3, Acts 16:25-26). The Presence of
God is a liberating Presence; where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty
(2 Corinthians 3:17).
Now, in order to be established in the Presence of God for the breaking of
bondages, you must do the following:
1. Avoid the life of disobedience
Disobedience to God is an invitation to bondage. When you play with sin and
iniquity, you invite bondage into your life. Therefore, avoid the lifestyle of
disobedience; embrace obedience to God in order to attract His Presence in your
life (Genesis 3:11).
2. Avoid Existence Outside of God’s Presence
Hiding from God’s Presence like Adam (Gen. 3:8) establishes a person in
bondage. Lack of desire for God’s Presence establishes a person in bondage.
When a child of God does not desire to read his Bible and fellowship with His
Maker, he is in a diseased condition.
3. Avoid the life of cover-up
Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves and covered themselves up when they realised
that they were naked as a result of their sin (Genesis 3:7). You cannot cover
up your sin and be helped by God.
My counsel is, avoid the life of cover up; be open to God to access His
Presence.
REMEMBER THIS: Lack of desire for God establishes a person in bondage.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Avoid the life of sin and disobedience in order to attract the Presence

access His Presence.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for a fresh appetite for Your Word. I desire to
fellowship with You more. Help me to live in Your Presence always, Lord in
Jesus’ Name.
