When our forefathers were in slavery, they were forced to make bricks all day long. They were given quotas that were almost impossible to meet. Many times, when their slave masters got upset, supervisors would take away all the straw they needed for bricks. They had the same quota, but they had to go find their own straw – often which was impossible. No doubt they prayed, “God, please give us straw. God, You know these supervisors are going to get upset. We will get whipped and hurt. We’re not going to make our quotas.”
They had been pushed down for a long time, giving them a limited vision when they were praying for more straw. In effect, they were praying to get more straw so that they can be a better slave. Like in scripture God said, “That’s too small. I don’t want to make you a better slave. I want to take you totally out of this bondage. I created you as the head and not the tail, the victor and not the victim.”
Today, don’t be a slave, don’t just pray for more money every month, don’t just pray for improvement in your difficult situation, pray for deliverance from it! Pray to be taken totally out of it! See beyond your circumstances by faith and let God lead you out into the place of victory and abundance!
… ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.’ ” (Exodus 6:6, NIV).
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, please release me from my slave mentality. Father, I pray and ask for Your complete deliverance and healing from every form of bondage in my life mainly my thinking. God, help me to think of victory, change, and vision the way You see them. Then Lord help me assist others to also be free. Thank You for setting me free and destroying my limited thinking all the days of my life in Jesus’ name. Amen.
