THE MESSAGE NOW

(Is.10:27, Matt.11:28-30)
SATANIC YOKES LIMIT MEN BUT THE ADVOCATE OF MEN IS WITHOUT LIMIT
Genesis chapter 1:26-30 informingly states that
’26 Then God said, let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.
29 And God said, see, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.
30 Also to every beast of the earth, to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so’.
By all intents and purposes, the kindness and extreme generousity of God to man is unusually unusual. Without doubt, the latitude of human boundaries, as far as God is concerned, is without limit. By creation, by the right to own property and do business, man was created to enjoy boundless freedom, limitless rights, control and expand freely without any set frontiers.
But the words and the writing of Jean Jacque Rousseau has taken the toll of reality on both the modern and the premodern man. Rouseau opined, ‘man was born free; and everywhere, he is in chains’.
What a statement of unusual contrast! It is nothing else but a paradox that on the one hand, man finds himself in freedom. The next minute he finds himself and his freedom fully curtailed. Speaking by the Spirit of the living God, Prophet Isaiah informs in Isaiah chapter 10:27 that ‘and it shall come to pass in that day that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing’.
Understand that the ability to found limitation and to give limitations their force and power is the foremost job describtion of all yokes. Understand also that yokes are not part of divine design. Going back to Isaiah chapter 10:27, there is a point of worthy reference.
It states that ‘his burden’ and then ‘his yoke’. The questions then are: whose burden? And whose yoke? The simple answer is: it is the burden and the yoke flowing from dark powers. Yokes are spiritual loads deliberately and forcefully laid on man consciously or unconsciously. The question is how do they succeed in laying this evil load on man?
Dark powers take their time to study man, his likes and dislikes, the things he has affection for and his disaffections. Why? It is always in order to find those things that man cannot do without. This why certain colours can be yoked against one. A particular kind of food can be yoked against a man. Indeed, wife can be yoked against husband and vice versa. Does this surprise you?
Have you never heard a husband complaining that each time he shares testimony with his wife, such testimony never materializes eventually? Is it because that wife is a witch? Hmmm! Yes it may be. But in most instances, the simple truth is that the wife has been yoked/jinxed against her husband. The enemy/dark powers are aware that the heart of both the husband and the wife are so knit together that they will always share everything.
The enemy is aware of the strong bond between the two. The enemy is aware of the power of unity and the bond of peace needed for two people to ‘chase ten thousand’. This is why he has yoked one against the other. Despite his wickedness in yoking one against the other, do you know that the enemy still goes ahead to subtly let the husband observe the yoke on the wife so that that husband can be angry against the innocent wife?
Ah! What a wicked world! His ultimate aim is always to scatter Christian homes, quality relationships among friends, create suspicion and deceit. But hear O man, is quarreling the solution? No! instead, reporting the matter to God in fervent prayers and anointing that relationship is the key.
Therefore, with apostolic anointing, I break every yoke in the life of the readers of this edition of The Message Now, in Jesus name. Amen. Why is it that there is a particular evil pattern running through a particular family? The original wife of father Abraham in the Bible was barren. Rebecca, Isaac’s original and only wife was barren for forty years. Rachel, Jacob’s original wife and foremost delight was barren.
This was a continuing yoke down the generational line. Far back in 1997, God told me that there was a yoke of impossibility to get into university on my family. Looking back then, I discovered no one has been able to complete secondary school education in my family and that I was the first. Now, I had just written my qualifying exams in order to gain admission into the university. So, what was God saying?
The need to break the yoke was now ripe. With divine intervention, I have not only completed that university education at the time, God has acquired more degrees for me afterwards. O dearest brother and sister, what is holding your progress down? It is a yoke that must be broken today. Please do not take yokes lightly. Confront them with fervent fiery prayer and serious fasting.
Yokes do not hinder man in any particular area of life except such area of life is vitally important. I decree in the name of the Lord Jesus, let every yoke standing as clogs in the wheel of your progress be broken and consumed by divine fire now, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Yokes are spiritual entities. They can see and they can speak.
Do you know that the negative advice convincingly given to you which led to change and divertion of your destiny was not the fault of the giver of that advice? A yoke spoke through that fellow. No wonder the Bible instructs that we should test all spirits. Learn the habit of always clapping your hands when you praise God. Yokes hate clapping to God. The spirit behind yokes is idol power of evil foundations and household wickedness.
IN THE END, GIVE YOKES THEIR POISONS AND THEY WILL LEAVE YOU ALONE. NOTHING POISONS THEM MORE THAN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, THE FIRE OF THE HOLY GHOST, THE CLAPPING OF HANDS, WORTHY PRAISES, SPIRIT-FILLED ANOINTING OIL, FERVENT PRAYERS, GIVING, SERIOUS FASTING THE REMEMBERING OF THE NEGLECTED AND, EVANGELISM AND CONTRIBUTING RICHLY TO THE WORK OF OUR MASTER AND THE CAPTIN OF OUR SALVATION HERE ON EARTH.
Question and Answer Section
Question: The great questions again! When was the last time that you preached to any soul? Do you serve God with joyful heart or with reluctance? How much hurt is in your soul against that fellow? Won’t rather forgive them and forget their mischief so that you can rightly serve your loving Father? When was the last time you smiled genuinely and truly from your heart about yourself bearing in mind the bright days to come? when was the last time you heard a force praying within your belly without your consciousness? When was the last time you gave some thing to support God’s work apart from your tithes and offerings? When was the last time you supported any man to fulfill a divine or a personal agenda? When was the last time you put smile on the face of someone?
Answer: Hmmm!.
