“Greater Than All Yokes”
Friday, November 29, 2024Key Verse
“For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck,” Jeremiah 30:8a
Text — Jeremiah 30:8-10
Message
Yokes are burdens that are difficult to bear but which a stronger person puts on the weaker one. They are like seeds of wickedness that the enemy goes about to sow. Yokes manifest as bad luck; the individual never gets it right. He fails severally and opportunities slip out easily. Sorrow, shame and disappointments are normal experiences in the life of children under the yoke of the enemy. Sin, sickness, stubbornness and other afflictions of Satan in the lives of some children are yokes.
God is greater than all yokes and the powers that put children under such burdens. If only you can cry unto God like the children of Israel did when they were under the Egyptian yoke, surely, He will send you a deliverer. If there is any sin in your life, confess and ask God for His pardon. He will forgive you and make you a new creature. This will set you free from the power of sin and the yokes of the devil.
