Praise the
Lord Brethren. Today we shall be looking at Isaiah 42 v. 7. The lord said “I will open the blind eyes and bring out
the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison
house”. Oh brethren what a powerful admonition this is. Before I continue,
I want you beloved to close your eyes and pray like this: “powers that has tied me down catch fire now”, in Jesus Mighty name,
amen. Praise the Lord. Brethren it is sheer horror to be thrown into a state of
despair, distress by no fault of yours. People who are confined to hellish
existence out of no fault of theirs find it difficult to believe in the
existence of God, especially those in the nadir of life, hopeless conditions
similar to prison. When you cannot eat 3 square meals a day, when you find it
difficult to obtain favour; there are circumstances you find yourselves that
leaves you confused; you are single and nearing 5o years of age without husband
or you are married and twenty years on, no children. Perhaps you are one of
those who have been abandoned in the streets with no formal education, nothing
to do; you roam the streets although you have your BSc certificate; that is
akin to living in the shadows of darkness. But I bring you good news. God has
not forsaken you. In Psalm 107, the Bible let it be known that God will deliver
you. In v. 6, we read of how “they cried
onto the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distress”. Not
only that, the Bible said in v. 9 “for He
satisfied the longing soul and fillet the hungry soul with goodness”. See
that? God will not forsake you. Listen brethren in v. 10, specifically the Bible refers to such as “sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
being bound in affliction and iron”…..Praise the Lord. Hear the phrase “being bound in affliction and in iron”.
May God not let any of you experience this, amen. Now listen to this real deal:
brethren, when in this condition, you don’t have to fold your hands; you cry to the Lord….not herbalists or
native doctors. Some of you have the habit of running to these people who will further
exploit and compound your problems. Ditto, fake pastors who will capitalize on
your calamity to defraud you. Brethren please avoid them. They are like wolves
in sheep clothing. V. 14 of that chapter confirm that “He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death and brake their
bands in sunder”. This is God for you. There is no situation beyond Him. Even
this raging covid-19 pandemic will pass away. The virus itself has temporally
succeeded in forcing everybody indoors. But as sudden as it came, so it will
depart. We were not born with covid-19. Never mind those currently exploiting
the menace to further compound our misery. It will be short-lived. I f our God can break the gates of brass and cut
away the bars of iron, how much more this dreaded pandemic? We can hope for a better tomorrow. Only put
your trust in him. And finally v. 16 further assures you of the potency of
trusting God. “For He had broken the
gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in sunder”. I am delighted to inform
you that covid-19 will go. The fears should be exploited to raise violent
prayer points. This is the time for us to launch a counter attack. There is no
situation you find yourself now that last forever. As long as you have faith in
the Lord, your situation will change for good, Praise the Lord, somebody. Amen.Praise the
