DON’T ALLOW THE SNARE TO CAGE YOU (Sunday, 19th October 2025)
Text for Today: Ps. 124:1-8 “Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; The snare is broken and we have escaped.” (vs. 7).
A snare is a device that is secretly but strategically set up to capture a targeted subject. The intention of the fowler is to keep the bird for decoration, or to kill for food, or sometimes sell for money. The devil is the fowler who is setting a snare for those redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and sometimes he will use some attractive bait to catch the attention of the believer who may become complacent in life. The snare limits the birds. Beloved, I want you to know that the devil is interested in capturing the believer to make him to be his slave so as not to fulfill the purpose of God for his life. There are certain experiences one faces in life that should give the indication that one is already in the snare of the devil.
We shall be discussing some of these in the next few days and also consider how to get out of it. You need to critically examine your life and watch out for one or more of the following experiences. This should call for a fervent prayer with fasting in order to destroy this snare and for your soul to escape. (i). When you are constantly falling into a sin you do not wish to commit. After giving your life to Christ for over two years, you still notice that certain sins you do not wish to commit are still clinging to you. Each time you fall into it, you will weep and feel so bad, but after a while you see yourself in the same mess again. This represents a snare of the devil that needs to be broken. For instance, some people are held bound in masturbation, fornication, stealing or various kinds of unrighteous acts and it is difficult for them to be set at liberty.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Est. 7:1-10.
