Zechariah 9:11 ‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
DAILY READING; – Romans 4; 1 Samuel 13; Psalm 58
The rescue of Tony Bullimore in January 1997 was one of the most remarkable survival stories of modern times.
Tony Bullimore, aged fifty-six, was one of Britain’s most experienced transatlantic yachtsmen.
In January 1997 he was competing in the Vendée Globe around-the-world race, when his yacht capsized in the Ocean.
Tony was more than a thousand miles from the nearest land. and there seemed to be no immediate help in sight.
For the next four days, he remained in an air pocket underneath the overturned yacht.
He was entombed in pitch darkness and surrounded by cold waters, with temperature close to freezing. He survived on a little chocolate and a little water.
He had to draw his breath from a few feet of air between the water level and what was once the bottom of the boat. As the air supply diminished he prayed fervently that he would be rescued.
Then on the fourth day, as he was still praying to be saved, he heard a banging on the hull. A rescue party had finally found him!
The Royal Australian Navy with modern satellite and surveillance technology had pinpointed his location and sent out a rescue team.
Tony’s first words when he emerged from underneath the yacht were, ‘Thank God, it is a miracle.’ He said, ‘I felt like I had been born all over again. I felt like a new man!.’
His story is contained in his book titled ‘Saved: The Extraordinary Tale of Survival and Rescue in the Southern Ocean’
Certainly, we serve the God who specializes in delivering from impossible situations.
Anytime we come to waters too high for us, we need to keep our hope in God’s miraculous deliverance. Despite the raging of the sea God is at work, He is making a way.
Though we may pass through the water and the fire, we are not remaining there.
God has promised in Psalm 91:14, that when we call upon Him in trouble He will deliver us.
Though Tony Bullimore’s case seemed hopeless, yet as he prayed and called upon the Lord, he experienced divine deliverance.
No matter how discouraging any situation, we must never give up or give in. As long as we can persevere in prayers God will surely answer us.
As you pray with expectations, you are about to see amazing manifestations.
It doesn’t matter how tight any condition, just dare to trust God for a miracle.
It is Jesus’ desire to deliver us from every bondage of the enemy.
Through the price He paid at Calvary we have been rescued from every oppression and delivered from every waterless pit.
Zechariah 9:11 says ‘As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
By the Blood of Jesus we have been brought out of every imprisonment. Spiritually, every affliction is a type of imprisonment. Disease, infirmity, poverty, sin, etc., are all demonic bondages that hold people in spiritual captivity.
This was reflected in Luke 13:16 when Jesus said: ‘And ought not this woman…whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond?’
Our freedom from captivity and bondage was paid for while Jesus hung on the cross.
As a covenant child of God, always be assured that there is divine rescue for you.
Whatever tough situation you may be facing today, in your health, finances, relationships, family business etc, divine deliverance is available for you.
We are never alone in the midnight seasons of life. Jesus is always there to rescue us. His Name is Immanuel – God with us.
As we call upon Him in prayers in this season, let us be confident that He hears us. He is at work in our situation and will certainly answer us in ways that will exceed our every expectations..
PRAYER: Father, I thank You for divinely preserving me and my family in these end-times through the Blood of Jesus. Thank You precious Lord for bringing to an utter end every oppression and captivity in my life in Jesus name. .
