YOKE OF BONDAGE
David Abankwah
READ: Galatians 2:4
Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.
-Galatians 5:1 | NKJV
One thing I have realised about most believers now is that they obey certain portions of the Bible they can obey and leave the others, thinking the Bible was referring to a certain category of people. For instance, when the Bible says: ‘A woman should cover her head as a sign of honour and power because of angels’ – 1 Corinthians 11:5, 10, many women of today who have been brainwashed by their Pastors that Paul was talking to the church of Corinth and not Christians of today, but you will see these funny believers quoting verses like Galatians 5:1 as a Scripture of freedom and their Pastors quoting Malachi 3:8-10 for fat tithes. You can’t choose to obey and disobey the Bible.
They are wiser in quoting certain verses they can obey as they feel those portions of the Bible are rather applicable to them just because, they know they are are easier to obey than the rest. I always say that it will be very difficult for a woman to go to New Jerusalem than a man. I am saying this because of these quotations: Deuteronomy 22:5, 1 Corinthians 11:5,10. These quotations will disqualify many women from having eternal life. Every word in the Bible is divinely inspired, so if you credit and discredit some, I don’t know which New Jerusalem you want to go. Your Pastor is not the one who is going to judge you. Read the Bible and obey the word of God. Period!
Stop singing the chorus: ‘My Pastor says this, my Pastor says that,’ as if it is your Pastor who is going to judge you. I don’t know why many believers cannot crosscheck what is being preached. These same people read many secular books in school that have more pages than the Bible for the purpose of receiving certificates at the end, but when it comes to their salvation, reading the Bible has become a tug of war. You want to go to New Jerusalem and you are joking as if there is nothing at stake? If having eternal life is easier, then God (Jesus Christ) who came from heaven could have returned the same way He came without any holes in His hands and feet.
The death of Jesus Christ on the cross for the purpose of salvation is only applicable to those, who believe and accept Him as their Lord and Personal Saviour. After that, that is not the end. You have to work out your salvation so you will not return to the sins that yoked or held you in bondage that Jesus Christ has set you free from. It will shock you that, there are many people who claim once saved is forever saved, but these same people are the ones who are entangled with the yoke of bondage. Instead of working out their salvation, they are sitting down idle claiming Jesus Christ has done everything for them on the cross. Until you are done, it is not finished!

¹Lift up prayers to be delivered from the illusion that you are standing fast, which in actual fact, you have fallen. ²Lift up prayers to stand fast in the liberty that Jesus Christ has made you free from. ³Lift up prayers for deliverance from all spiritual entanglements in the house of God, family altars, witches’ spells, generational curses, demonic embargoes etcetera, workplace, household, and vicinity in the name of Jesus Christ.
