Text: Jeremiah 30:8-10
8For it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more serve themselves of him:
9But they shall serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

Message
Yokes are burdens that are difficult to bear but which a stronger person puts on the weaker one. They are like seeds of wickedness that the enemy goes about to sow. Yokes manifest as bad luck; the individual never gets it right. He fails severally and opportunities slip out easily. Sorrow, shame and disappointments are normal experiences in the life of children under the yoke of the enemy. Sin, sickness, stubbornness and other afflictions of Satan in the lives of some children are yokes.

God is greater than all yokes and the powers that put children under such burdens. If only you can cry unto God like the children of Israel did when they were under the Egyptian yoke, surely, He will send you a deliverer. If there is any sin in your life, confess and ask God for His pardon. He will forgive you and make you a new creature. This will set you free from the power of sin and the yokes of the devil.

Prayer for today: Heavenly father, cleanse me from all my sins and break every yoke of the enemy from my life.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
