YEAR OF FREEDOM!

“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32, KJV)

According to Evangelist Billy Graham, a psychiatrist once said in a study that the greatest problem facing his patients was fear.

Considering the growing number of strange things happening around us today, fear may appear logical. The negative occurrences that are rarely discussed in the past have now become so common that hardly will a day go by without discussing them extensively. Apart from the information we gather on daily basis from social media, the conventional sources of news, too, are not helpful. The only way you may not hear depressing news is total abstinence from all these sources of information. In fact, depressing news have been so close and taken the centre stage of our daily routine that they now appear normal.

Nowadays, man is constantly faced with the fear of sickness, unanswered prayers, future uncertainty, immigration status, financial crisis, mental health instability, suicidal thoughts, loneliness, heart disease, bereavement, or even death. But do you realise something? That old serpent, the only enemy of mankind, the devil, is the personality behind all these; inducing fear, so that man may live under its torment as long as he breathes. Remember that the Bible says, fear has torment. (1John 4:18)

However, the good news is that this year 2026, has been declared our year of FREEDOM. Freedom from fear and his torment. Freedom from every lie of the enemy, no matter how logical it may present itself.

May the grace to know the TRUTH, which is the WORD of GOD, and the empowerment to bask in the freedom it offers overshadow us. This year, you are not permitted to fear or be confused; IT IS THE YEAR OF FREEDOM. So, enjoy it in JESUS’ Name. AMEN
