OPPRESSION



OPPRESSION
To oppress means to treat somebody in a cruel and unfair way, especially by not giving them the same freedom, rights as other people. It is also when someone is made to be able to think only about sad or worrying things. Do you know many of us are guilty of oppression? By the way we sometimes treat our spouses and children, the labourers or workers who work for us, the way we treat our pastor or our members. Etc.
It is unfortunate to say that there are Christian sadists who enjoy oppressing people. God abhors oppression that was why He promised to deal squarely with all oppression. Psalm 103:6 says, “The Lord Execueth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed”. He also warned us against oppression of any kind. Whether a stranger. “Thou shalt neither vex a stranger nor oppress him …” Ex. 22:21; 23:9. Your neighbour-“And if thou sell ought to thy neighbour or buyest ought of thy neighbour’s hand, ye shall not oppress one another” Leviticus 25:14. Your hired servant- “Thou shall not oppress a hired servant that is poor and needy whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates”. Deuteronomy 24:14. The poor and the afflicted-“rob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate”. Proverbs 22:22. A man and his wife- “and houses, and they covet fields, and take them away by violence; and houses, and take them away; so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage”. Micah 2:2. The widow- “and oppress not the widow… and let none of your imagine evil against his brother in your heart” Zech. 7:10. Are you an instrument of oppression in the hand of the devil? Make up your mind to stop today. Make it a choice to be an instrument of justice, peace equal right and harmony.

Divine Opening

Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search

Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...
