Bondage of the past.

[The Glory Unveiled]

It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. [ Galatians 5:1 NIV ]

Many of us fall into the trap of the past because once we come into the future, we assume that the past has no way of calling us back. But we must firmly refuse to go back to the bondage of our past because the past will always call on us. Many times, when you think you have gone past the boundaries of your past, that is when it calls. The Israelites were in slavery in Egypt. The day of deliverance came and they were free. They set out of Egypt to their own promised land. When they thought that they had escaped the grip of Egypt and its armies, that was when Egypt began to call on them by enticing them with the seeming glory of their past. And so, they began to crave for the “liberties” they had in Egypt. That desire and craving caused many of the Israelites their lives. When we turn to the New Testament deliverance from slavery to sin, the same thing can play out if we do not firmly resist the temptation of going back into the bondage we were delivered from. The yoke of slavery from our past life with sin will call back many times, but if we understand our new position in Christ, we will not pay any attention to the past. Our freedom from the bondage of sin did not come at a small cost. It took the blood, life of the Son of God to set us free. And because of that we must not take for granted our freedom. We must guard our freedom by sticking with Jesus all the way. No matter the advertisements from the past with its freebies, we must resolve firmly to stay with Jesus.

Prayer_Bead: Saviour Jesus, thank you for the price you paid for my salvation and freedom. I refuse to go back to the bondage of the past by the seal of my intimacy with you.

Wisdom_Quote: Whenever the past calls your future, it’s a sign that slavery wants to befriend you.
