Of True Freedom

Apostle Grace Lubega

Numbers 11:4-6(NKJV); Now the mixed multitude who were among them [c]yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!

What does it mean to be free?

From our theme scripture, the children of Israel interpreted freedom as the life they led in Egypt when they ate cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions and garlic.

They were willing to return to captivity as long as they could have these foods.

What deception!

You would rather eat manna when you are free than melons when you are bound because true freedom comes with the availability of manna.

Manna here represents the Word of God.

What does this mean?

You are better off coming to church even when you have no job than having a job that keeps you away from the presence of God.

You would rather seek God when you have no money in your pocket than abandoning the Church because you acquired some wealth.

It is much better to keep in the Word without a spouse than have a spouse who keeps you out of the Word.

Manna is much more important than any of the material things that many define as freedom.

Value revelation above wealth. Value revelation above any material things.

Revelation is the source of true freedom.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for this Word. I thank you because these are the days of knowledge and in this knowledge, we find freedom. I accord the Word the honour and respect that it deserves. Because you have exalted it above your very name, I exalt it above anything that I know. In this wisdom, I walk and live as a free person, with the very freedom that Christ has given me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
