A prevailing choice

Freedom in South Africa is a very popular word and not only in South Africa but in the whole earth. Man from the beginning of time has been fighting for this Ideal – the ideal of freedom. Since beginning men’s struggle has been to be free from everything that restrained them. Freedom to go where ever they want to go at any time they desired intrigued a desire to create travelling machines, such as cars, ships, airplanes etc. it was because of freedom that wars emerged between Kingdoms: one nation wanted to be free to enjoy resources of another nations and when those nations resisted war was the result.

It seems to me that freedom is the ultimate pursuit of mankind that the whole goal of human beings is to attain and enjoy freedom. Freedom is the concept that stimulates dreams, dreams which generate passion and passion that motivates focus to attain any goal. Everyone who pursues a trade whether it is to be a celeb, a doctor etc pursue it because of the promise of freedom it gives. For example one who pursues a doctorate career will do so because of (1) the income he will receive will make him to be free to have a life he or she desires. (2) Also that he will be free to practice the compassion, and care he has to those who are wounded and sick.                       

The concept of freedom is so powerful and capturing that God left His so splendorous throne to be clothed of human’s pathetic flesh in other to set them free. The bible says “For freedom did Christ set us free ASV Galatians5:1” so the reason why Christ set us free was for freedom; he set us free to bring us into liberty not into slavery. The freedom Christ gave unto us is not like those of our leaders (human leaders) His freedom means to possess a prevailing choice in all situations.

 What do I mean by having a prevailing choice in all situations? This is what I mean: what you choose will all ways win against anything, wow! Is not that freedom? Imagine having your choice not frustrated by situations. You see most times what we choose becomes frustrated by the tenseness of situations we face, for example  one person may choose to marry but fail to because of financial lack or inability to find a suitable mate but the freedom in Christ mean what you have chosen will come to pass. Another may choose a life of devotion to God, a life were obedience towards God is without any question, he may choose to live a life devoted to God in such a way that when he enters a room Gods presence will touch everyone who is in that room. But fail to live that life because of certain habits which he fails to overcome, but freedom in Christ means: that life style you envisioned will come to pass not because you can but rather because of freedom in Christ denotes power.

 When He declares you free He confers to you a dynamic ability to cause change the way you want it. Stop crying ‘Lord I don’t know what to do’ no you not what to do choose life and life will come upon you. It does not matter whether it is what is called generational curses your choice is more powerful than any witch. It might be HIV/AIDs it does not matter your choice will consume cancer and any disease for that matter.

Choose a sinless life, choose a no sickness life. Christ has set you free for freedom do not allow yourself to be enslave by pride, by TB or anything that your spirit does not want. Come now you were chosen for freedom; be as Paul, Paul said brothers I do not know what to choose whether to live or to die; you see man like Paul understood what is to be free in Christ these guys could choose between to die or to live. but those who does not understand freedom in Christ they speak like this ‘well if it is the lords will for me to die there is nothing I can do’ no you can do something to your dying mother rebuke that devil of death you are free in Christ. Don’t you know that death is your servant? Read 1corrinthians 3:21.

I hope I to share more with you concerning this subject in future as for now this is what we had time for.
