Whats on your mind? Daily Manna: Breaking The Yoke Saturday 22, March 2014 TEXT: ISAIAH 10:20-34;[King James Version (KJV)] 20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon theLord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. 21 The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. 22 For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. 23 For the LordGodof hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. 24 Therefore thus saith the LordGodof hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. 25 For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. 26 And theLordof hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt. 27 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. 28 He is come to Aiath, he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he hath laid up his carriages: 29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah is afraid; Gibeah of Saul is fled. 30 Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth. 31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee. 32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. 33 Behold, the Lord, theLordof hosts, shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled. 34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one Key verse:“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” (Isaiah 10:27). An old believer once testified that what has kept him through in his moments of adversity was an ever-recurring phrase in the scripture, which says,“it came to pass”. His belief was that whatever problem that came his way would surely pass away... and it came to pass. Israel was chastised of God with the rod of His anger - Assyria. But with a few out of many returning to God in truth and righteousness, God was to remove the burden and yoke of the oppressors from the neck of the remnants and then turn His anger on Assyria, just as He once did to Egypt and other enemies of His people. Sin in the life of any believer attracts the indignation of God. Consequently, He may permit the devil to buffet the backslider with sickness, problems and even calamity. Whenever the penitent backslider is restored unto God, the yoke of the devil upon him will be taken off and even destroyed. If you have erred from the faith, and as a result you are going through a difficult time, why not come back to the Bishop and Saviour of your soul, Christ the anointed! He was anointed to break the yoke. He will surely destroy all the works of the devil in your life. His invitation to you now is,“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). You need to respond to this great invitation. Whatever the“Assyrians” have done in your life to punish you for your sins, God says the yoke shall be destroyed and that can be now! Beyond this however, saints must believe that we will not live a trouble-free life on this side of eternity. The Saviour left no one in doubt also that saints will pass through tribulations as He did. His assurance however to all is“be of good cheer; I have overcome the world”. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anointing breaks the yoke.
