“It shall come to pass
in that day that his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke
from your neck, and the yoke will be destroyed because of the anointing oil.” –
Isaiah 10:27
In the university where I work, a
spiritual assembly session will be conducted every day morning. It will be
conducted in a big auditorium and each class of students will be allotted a bay.
For several years my bay was on the back end of the auditorium. Sitting at the
back end I always struggled to look onto the person who stands on the stage to
preach.
So I used to watch the people who
were on the stage through a LCD screen that was close to my bay. Several days I
watched like this and soon it became a habit to me. After some days I forgot to
look onto the stage at all. I was addicted to watch the proceedings through the
screen itself.
In this year my class was allotted a
bay which was very near to the stage. Sitting at the front end it was very easy
for me to look into the stage directly. As days passed I understood that I am
doing something differently. As everyone who sits with me look onto the stage
directly I was the only one who looked to the LCD screen that was kept on that
bay.
I found out this strange behavior
and told myself to look onto the stage directly but I could not do that at all.
Whenever I tried that I failed within a few minutes. Then I felt that I was addicted
to the habit of looking through the LCD screen even when I sit near to the
stage. It took me somedays to change that behavior and nowadays I look into the
stage directly without looking the LCD screen.
Many a times in our life we do
something wrong casually and then it becomes a habit. After some days without
our knowledge we get addicted to that wrong habit. Even today you might be
having a yoke upon your life. It might be smoking, drinking, adultery or any
kind of bad habit.
Today Jesus Christ wants to pour out
His anointing to remove the yoke that was upon your life. You can never break
the yoke with your strength.
Our Heavenly Father says in
Zechariah 4:6, “…Not by might nor by
power, but by My Spirit…”
You can never come out of your
burden through your own might or strength. Only when God’s Spirit come upon
you, you will be redeemed from the bondage and yoke.
My mom was a prayer warrior and she
pray with tears for everyone. When I was a teen, I had seen my family facing
several problems and whenever we face a problem my mom used to go to the prayer
room and pray for long hours. After few hours when she comes out of the room she
will be feeling sad thinking about the same burden or problem for which she
prayed for.
Without her knowledge somehow she
will be thinking about the problem and it became like a yoke in her life. She
doesn’t know to stop thinking about the problem or trouble which she had
surrendered to the Hands of Lord. One day as she was praying God anointed her
with His Spirit and from that day on her faith increased. Now as I see her she
is not under that yoke and she never feels sad for any problem which she had surrendered
to Lord’s care.
My dear young friend, Even today you
might be under the yoke of sin or unbelief or disease or worldly problems. If
you ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit, He will pour out His Spirit upon
you and deliver you from all the bondages and yoke. You will be set free by the
anointing of God’s Holy Spirit.
Get filled by the anointing of God’s
Holy Spirit and stay free. God bless you.
