LAMENTATION 3:27-41
The
disobedient of Adam Eve subjected the entire creature to bondage. Leaving man
to suffer the consequences of their wickedness; which Satan our accuser will
not relent in accusing those devoted to serve God day and night as he did to
Job but we have overcame him by the blood of the lamb Jesus Christ and the
words of our testimony. Man suffered the consequences of the rebellion of the
first man and woman; while God imputed upon man from the creation of the earth.
GENESIS
3:17
(17) “And to Adam he said: “Because you
listened to your
wife’s voice and ate from the tree
concerning which
I gave you this command. You must
not eat from it,
cursed is the ground on your account.
In pain you
will eat it’s produce all the days
of your life
(18) it will grow thorns and thistles for you,
and you must
eat the vegetation of the field
(19) in the sweat of your face you will eat
bread until
you return to the ground, for dust you
are and dust
you will return”
As
a result of the above curse, man kept on toiling sweating before he could amount
to anything in life. And that is what led to bearing of yoke. What yoke are we
to bear? The yoke of Adamic nature which is under a curse because of sin of one
man:
ROMANS
3:23
(23) “For all have sinned and come short of the
glory
of God”
So
before Jesus came, men were bearing the yoke of Adamic nature which Jesus had
curbed after his death and resurrection.
LAMENTATION
3:27
(27) “Good it is for a man to carry the yoke
during his youth
(28) let him sit alone and keep silent when he
lays it upon
him
(29) Let him put his mouth in the very dust;
there may yet be hope
(30) let him give his cheek to the one striking
him; let him have
his fill of insult”
This
personality is full of reproach; he is still a servant before a master that can
maltreat him as he likes. But Jesus came and removed the yoke of slavery or
servant hood. Peradventure this personality did not bear this yoke when he was
young according to law, he must face it terribly at the latter end of his life,
and that might be brutal. So the curse of Adamic
nature was obligatory except through our Lord Jesus Christ who came and
saved the entire creature from the bondage of accusation.
ROMANS 8:20
(20) “For
the creation was subjected to futility, not by it’s own
will,
but through the one who subjected it, on the basis of
hope
.
(21) That
the creature itself will also set free from enslavement
to
corruption and have the glorious freedom of
the children
of God
(22) For
we know that all creature keeps on groaning together and
being in
pain together until now.
(23) Not
only that, but we ourselves also who
have the first fruits ,
namely, the
spirit , yes, we ourselves groan within
ourselves
while we are
earnestly waiting for adoption as sons, the release
from our bodies
as ransom.”
Though
God is a merciful father, even upon the curse of Adamic nature imputed upon man, he still showed mercy.
LAMENTATION
3:31
(31) “For Jehovah will not cast us forever
(32) Although he has caused grief, he will
also show mercy according to his
abundant loyal love
(33) for it is not in heart to afflict or
grieve
the son of men”
This
is why Jesus death and resurrection is the greatest sacrifice above every
sacrifice human can offer for atonement of sin. At the mention of Name Jesus Christ every knee must bow
and every tongue will confess that Jesus is lord Including Adamic yoke. A lot of people are still under this yoke because of
ignorant.
ROMANS 10:1
(1)
“Brothers, the goodwill of my heart and my
supplication to
God for them
are indeed for their salvation.
(2)
For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God,
but not
according to accurate knowledge .
(3)
For because of not knowing the righteousness of God
but seeking
to establish their own, but did not subject
themselves
to the righteousness of God
(4)
For Christ is the end of the Law, so that everyone exercising
Faith may
have righteousness.”
Any
righteousness apart from the righteousness by faith in Jesus Christ is like a
filthy rage in the site of God.
GALATIAN
3:6-9
(6) “Just as Abraham “put faith in Jehovah,
and it was counted to
to him as righteousness
(7) Surely you know that it is those who
adhere to faith who are sons
of Abraham
(8) Now the scripture foreseeing that God
would declare people of
of the nations righteous through
faith, declared the good news
before hand to Abrahams namely: “By means of
you all the
nations will be blessed.
(9) So those who adhere to faith are being
blessed together
with Abraham, who had faith”
This
is why it is according to your faith. The yoke has no power over you because of
your faith in that name Jesus Christ. The power in the blood of Jesus had wiped
away your sin and the Adamic nature
is subdued by the Holy Ghost and not in carnality of flesh any longer for we wrestle not against flesh and blood
but against principalities and powers (EPHESIAN 6:12).
GALATIAN
3:1
(1) “O senseless Galatians who has brought
you under this
evil influence, you who had Jesus Christ openly
portrayed
before you as
nailed to the stake?
(2) This one thing I want to ask you: Did
you receive the spirit
through works of law or because of faith in what you heard?
(3) Are you so senseless? After starting on
spiritual course, are
You finishing on a fleshly course?”
So
today we cannot overcome by flesh but by the spirit. The battle has ceased from
physical realm and continues in the spiritual realm. So if you are not walking
in the spirit you are a defeated foe.
EPHESIAN
6:12
(12) “For we wrestle not against flesh and
blood
but against principalities, against powers
and against spiritual wickedness in heavenly
places”
This
is why we must always fight the battle of faith in Christ which starts from
your confession. It is what you believe, you confess and it is what you confess
that you will act. So today make up your mind to accept Jesus Christ as your
lord and personal savior according to Romans
10:9.
ROMANS 10:9-10
(9) “For
if you publicly declare with your mouth
Jesus
is lord, and exercise faith in your heart
that
God raised him up from the dead, you
will
be saved.
(10) For
with the heart one exercises faith for
Righteousness,
but with the mouth one
makes public declaration for salvation”
your
confession today will lead to your salvation tomorrow. Remain blessed.
