Memory Verse: "And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32)

Bible Passage: Acts 3:1-81

¶ Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.

It is a wonderful experience for the imprisoned to breathe the air of freedom. That shall be your portion this season in Jesus' Name. Some years ago, I repeated my visit to the Kirikiri Prisons (Lagos, Nigeria ). In that visit, I discovered over 1000 people were awaiting trial for so long. The offence of some had a maximum sentence of three years yet, they were awaiting trial for 11 years! There was a man on death row for 27 years. He went to bed every night uncertain of seeing the following morning for 27 years! I was disturbed so I spoke with the Nigerian President, the Lagos State Governor and Chief Judge of Lagos State and by God's grace over 1000 of them got their freedom.

Not every prisoner lives within the walls of a physical prison. The worst type of imprisonment is being within invisible prison walls while appearing to be free. Nobody would offer to help you out because there would be nothing to suggest your type of imprisonment. The lame man in Acts 3:1-18, was physically born into the prison of sickness and was there for over 40 years. Some people are not in physical prisons but in invisible prisons.

One of my uncles who studied in Britain returned and in an attempt to protect himself against forces of darkness, went to meet a herbalist and obeyed the man's instructions to the letter. He got seven leaves of a particular plant, spread them on the floor and defecated on it. Thereafter, the herbalist gave him a particular powder to spray on his faeces and instructed him to eat it. After this, he returned home boasting that since nobody touches faeces, therefore nobody could touch him. He almost died of cholera! He had eyes but could not see.

Professors who with all their Western education still bow to trees and worship various objects do so because they are in a spiritual prison. A medical doctor who knows and teaches people about the dangers of smoking but is still smoking himself is imprisoned to a deadly habit. He needs deliverance.

 It is not enough to point accusing fingers at some person somewhere. Consider your life and trace any presence of any form of imprisonment. And where you can locate one, prayerfully take steps to break loose from it. If you are free from physical and invisible prisons then you are truly free.

THE FATHER’S BLESSING: “I pray for you today as you read this message, that the Holy Spirit with is divine search light will fish out the root cause of the problems comforting your life that have put you in physical bondage leading to spiritual imprisonment today and in the name of Jesus and the power that is in the blood of Jesus, every chain binding you is broken and every yoke of the enemy over you is removed as you become free indeed in the name of Jesus.” (Amen).
