In the beginning, God created heaven and earth. He also created Adam and Eve so that they will worship Him and walk with Him. He gave man the power of choice. God wants man to serve Him willingly and not forcefully.
One day, satan arose and said, “I couldn’t get my throne above God’s, but I’m going to steal His man!” satan entered the garden of Eden and caused the fall of the human race. And through the fall of man, there came sin, disease, torment, death and all other evils that plaque this planet. And as a result of this man entered into satan’s prison.
Devil imprisoned man through sex, rape, lying, smoking, anger, malice, bitterness, drinking alcohol, masturbation, pornography, lust, back biting, envy, fighting, pride, wickedness, selfishness, worldliness, fraud, stealing, not ready to forgive, addiction to ; food, sleep, phone, television, football, game, talking, and playing.
However, God, our heavenly Father, made a way of escape for man by sending Jesus Christ to earth to rescue man. Jesus Christ came! He redeemed fallen man when He died on the cross of Calvary. That was when the prison door was opened- when He was suspended between heaven and earth.
The Good news is that Jesus has come to open the prison door, so what are you still doing in satan’s prison house? The prison door has been opened. It is left for you to either come out or remain in the prison. JESUS is telling you today to come out of the prison of ; smoking, fighting, bribery and corruption, prostitute, hooliganism, pick-pocketing, sex for marks, sex for promotion, sex for job, sex for gift, sex for money, bitterness, robbery, kidnapping, etc.
Jesus is ready to set you free today. What are you waiting for? Are you ready? Say this prayer: ‘Lord Jesus, I come to you today as a sinner. I believed You died for me; I accept You as my Lord and Saviour today. I forsake all my sinful acts today. Daddy, please write my name in the book of life in Jesus name. Amen.’
Friend, you are out! Don’t go back to the prison.
