THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION 2

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Chijoke had a strange dream more than once, and he became really disturbed. In the dream, an old woman with a walking stick was holding him captive in a farm as a slave, and he would work there for hours. Each time he tried to break free, the old woman so overpowered him that he would faint and wake up with a headache.

He couldn’t understand why he would be having this kind of experience because he was quite committed to the church. He requested to see his pastor.

When the pastor saw him, the spirit of prophecy came upon him and he began to tell Chijoke that his real bondage was bondage to sin. Chijoke had two girlfriends and was living like an unbeliever. ‘You are ready and willing to do whatever it takes to be free from this bondage of the old woman, but you have not taken any step to seek the face of God and receive freedom from the more dangerous bondage of sin which made it possible for you to be under this bondage in the first place. You have been made free in Christ, but you need to enter this freedom by violence. Stop being a slave to sin’.

People are willing to pray and fast and go for night vigils to receive freedom from perceived demonic bondages, but they do not put that level of violence in entering their freedom from sin.

When a person seeks the kingdom of God, he also would seek His righteousness. This means he would fight everything of unrighteousness that is found in his or her life. Like the Psalmist in Psalm 139:23, he would subject himself regularly to heart check. He would purify his ways (see 1 John 3:3). And he would be violent against sin.
