THE PRIVILEGE OF ABRAHAM’S SEED
[[Luk 13:16]] KJV And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
On a Sabbath day, Jesus healed a woman bound with an infirmity for over eighteen years. The Pharisees seeking an occasion to find fault with Him, accused Him of healing on the Sabbath. Jesus replied, ” ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?”
In the above, Jesus establish two very important truths about Abraham’s seed. 1. As a seed of Abraham, God can break the rule to favour you. 2. The seed of Abraham ought to be loosed from satanic bondages.
Abraham’s seed is precious in the eyes of God. Remember, Abraham was a friend of God (Jam 2:23). God has a special covenant with Abraham to bless, prosper and multiply his seed *(Gen 12:2-4). This is why in our opening text Jesus protested that the seed of Abraham OUGHT to be loosed. ‘Ought’ means obliged. In other word, the seed of Abraham is under obligation to be loosed from every satanic oppression. Heaven is obliged to see to this. Hallelujah!
Now, you are the seed of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 says “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” The man in Christ is the seed of Abraham, and Abraham’s seed are blessed. You are blessed. God will break protocols to bless you. Satan can’t stop you. And just in case he finds a way to bind you, as a seed of Abraham, YOU OUGHT TO BE LOOSED!
How? Jesus said to the woman in the above, “woman thou art loosed” -Luke 13:12. He spoke the word to the woman. You too can do same: speak God’s word in the area that you think you may be bound. When you speak the word in faith and with boldness, angels are release to perform or bring the word to pass. The angels excel in strength and they are waiting to do the word. Start speaking now!
[[Psa 103:20]] KJV Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
[[Psa 103:20]] BBE Give praise to the Lord, you his angels, who are great in strength, doing his orders, and waiting for his voice.
Seed of Abraham, the angels are waiting to hear God’s voice in your mouth. If you don’t speak, nothing will happen.
Confession:
I declare that am the seed of Abraham. Am in Christ. Am blessed in every way. Am an heir of the promises of God. Am an inheritor of all of God’s promises. I can’t go under. I’m loosed and cannot be bound. All things are working for me now. Glory!
