The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the

 

LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto

 

the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the

 

brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives,

 

and the opening of the prison to them that are bound

 

(Isaiah 61:1).

 

After His death on the Cross, the Lord Jesus descended to hell, defeated Satan and the cohorts of hell and arose on the third day victoriously. He ascended into heaven. Now, the Bible says, "... When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men" (Ephesians 4:!(https://www.nairaland.com/grid/cool.png/3). Jesus broke the chains of

 

darkness, and took from them the authority to put

 

anyone in captivity.

 

Satan can legally hold no one in captivity anymore. The

 

bondage is over! That’s why He said, "...Go ye into all the

 

world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark

 

16:15); that means to all of creation. Romans 8:19 says,

 

"For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth

 

for the manifestation of the sons of God."

 

The whole of creation awaits the manifestation, not of

 

Jesus, but of the sons of God—that’s us, to release

 

them from the bondage of corruption. How do we

 

release them? By proclaiming liberty; by announcing to

 

them that they’re free and that captivity has been taken

 

captive. This announcement is what the whole creation

 

has been waiting for.

 

Romans 8:22 says, "For we know that the whole creation

 

groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now." But

 

it’s time for them to know that solution has come in

 

Christ Jesus. You’re the answer to their cry for help.

 

You’ve been sent as a light to the nations. Everywhere

 

you go, the light of God shines, and people come out of

 

the darkness. The Bible says, the savour of Christ’s

 

knowledge: the beauty, glory and power of His

 

righteousness is made manifest by us in every place.

 

You’re His mouthpiece; His ambassador of the Gospel, to

 

boldly proclaim liberty to the oppressed. And as you do,

 

chains will be destroyed, and the hearts of the

 

disobedient will be turned to the wisdom of the

 

righteous.
