Message

A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp. He noticed that the elephants were not being kept in cages or help by the use of chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small piece of rope tied to one of their legs. As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp. The trainer said; “When they were very young and much smaller, we used the same size of rope to tie them. At that age, it was enough to hold them. But as they grew, they became conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

Just as with the small rope, Satan has tied people to lifestyle of sin through deceit. This makes people to forget that the wicked will one day be cast into hell and every nation that forgets God. He deceives people not to see the need to ungently repent of their sins and prepare for eternity. Stop and think, is Satan still deceiving you to continue in your sinful ways? Remember sin leads to eternity in hell fire. Shake yourself out of Satan’s rope of deceit. Repent of your sins and call on the Lord Jesus for your salvation.
