Breath of Power

A Weekly Devotional of Jesus Power Outreach Ministries

Week 42: October 17 - 23, 2005

FREED TO SERVE

Key Passage: Exodus 8: 1-2

And the LORD spoke to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘thus says the LORD: Let My people go, that they may serve Me. But if you refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all your territory.’”

The experience of the Israelites in Egypt reveals that one could be a child of God but may be under bondage, affliction or oppression. The people of Israel served under the cruel bondage of Egypt for 400 years. But when they cried to God, He anointed Moses and mandated him to go and set them free.

God’s strategy in executing the mission was militant. He did not send Moses to negotiate with Pharaoh for their release, but made an authoritative demand, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.” Deliverance is an authoritative exercise to forcibly free a person held under the power of a strong enemy.

God is willing and ready to release His mighty power to deliver His people from bondage when they turn to Him for help. Some people are held under bondage by human or demonic forces, while others are enslaved to abuses, indulgences and works of the flesh. These may be in the form of drug addiction, alcoholism, pornography, sexual perversion, lust, immoral thoughts and such like. Such people need to humble themselves before God, repent and confess any sin in their lives and cry to Him for deliverance.

The primary purpose of deliverance is to release the victim from bondage, oppression and affliction so that he may be free to serve God at his best. Zechariah the father of John the Baptist, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said “that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life” (Lk 1:74-75). We are freed to serve and it is in serving that the purpose of God for our lives is fulfilled.

Determine today to be free from every bondage, sickness, disease, oppression and affliction; and cry to God for help. Surrender your life to Him absolutely and commit yourself to serve Him at your best.

Pray: Lord, help me! Set me free that I may serve you.
