Be free from sin!

Fri, Aug 6, 2010

Editor: As we celebrated Emancipation Day on August 2nd, it is time we reflect on whether we are truly emancipated or not. Emancipation is really freedom (put in a nutshell). The question can be asked, “Are we truly emancipated?” After so many years since the emancipation, we are still the queens’s subject with her as the head.{{more}}

Are we truly emancipated when we still prefer foreign things to local? We play more foreign music than our own local music. We adopt the styles and fashion of the so called big countries like America. We dress in their fashion and even try to talk like them. Are we truly emancipated when as a people we pull down and degrade our own brothers and sisters, we forget where we came from. Many have tried to live above their means and purchase things that are so costly that they are left in debt sometimes. We often feel that we have to be like the movie stars and other reputable singers and characters. We seldom try to be our own selves. We many times try to be someone else. We seem not to know who we are and where we are going. Is it that we don’t know who we are or are we looking down upon ourselves.

We can never be fully emancipated without Christ in our lives. We would continue to be unsatisfied and complaining, until Christ becomes the central figure in our lives.

Ladies and gentlemen, the true emancipation comes from the Lord who will set the mind and heart free. for the Bible says that whom the son has set free, he is free indeed. The true freedom comes from the Lord. It is not too late to begin the true reformation from the inside, out.

Whereas the lack of emancipation means that we are still in bondage to sin and Satan. We need to get back to Sunday School and youth meetings as young people and for the older ones, back to church and other activities of the church.

I strongly recommend that we be free from our sins by accepting Christ as our saviour.

Thank you.
