John 8:32 “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

DAILY READING – 2 Corinthians 9; 2 Kings 22:1-23:35; Nahum 3

Imprisoned for more than 45 years for a murder he didn’t commit, Richard Phillips spent more time behind bars than any other wrongfully imprisoned person in America.
After serving 46 years in prison, Richard Phillips at age 73, was exonerated in 2018, making him the longest-serving U.S prisoner to be cleared.
Phillips was a 27 years old auto worker in Detroit, when in June 1971, he was accused to be an accomplice in a murder case. In October 1972, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. And for the next 46 years, Phillips’ contention that he was innocent fell on deaf ears.
While in prison, he refused to give up hope, he spent the time becoming an accomplished artist and produced many paintings which he hoped to sell when he regained his freedom.
Things began to look up for him, when in 2010, the man who had initially implicated him, confessed to the police that he had lied about Phillips. He told a parole board that he was the one that had committed the murder and that Phillips had nothing to do with it. Four years later, in 2014, Phillips was granted a new trial. And in this trial, the judge overturned his murder conviction and declared him innocent. And after 46 years, Phillips finally walked out free from prison.
Outside the prison walls, Richard Phillips found success as an artist. The sale of his paintings made while in prison, earned him enough income to buy a house and start living a comfortable life.
His financial fortune increased further when he found he was eligible to receive up to $2,250,000 through a wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act which grants $50,000 for every year that a person was wrongfully imprisoned.

For 46 years Philips was kept in bondage because the truth was hidden. But once the truth became known his freedom was immediately secured.
Humanity was kept in bondage until one day, 2000 years ago, God sent the truth in the person of Jesus, to invade the earth and set captives free.
Establishing this truth was the mission of Jesus into the world.
Before His crucifixion, Jesus stood before the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate and proclaimed “For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth.” [John 18:37-38].
Jesus brought the truth of God’s Word into the world to shatter the oppression of darkness.
He sent His Word to heal us and deliver us from destructions.[ Psalm 107:20]
But due to lack of understanding, people remain bound in oppression and suffer unnecessarily because they lack a personal revelation of the truth that sets free.
Hosea 4:6 says that God’s people perish because of lack of knowledge.
When you are armed for the battle with the truth of Gods Word, you will overcome the principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness fighting your destiny (Ephesians 6:12).
Life is essentially a warfare, it is through engaging the weapon of God’s Word that we can secure total freedom from the enemy.
As a blood-bought covenant child of the living God, it is your portion to live in dominion, therefore do not give room to any oppression through spiritual ignorance.
When you gain knowledge of the truth through indepth study of God’s Word, you will successfully break free from every captivity and bondage.
Today, let us determine to seek for the key of knowledge that will unlock every prison door.and usher us into the fruitful and fulfilling life, Christ died to purchase for us at Calvary.

PRAYER: Lord, Today I invoke the speaking of the Blood of Jesus against everything fighting my destiny. I declare that by the mystery of the Blood I have broken free from every captivity, to live in dominion and victory in Jesus Name.
