“But
ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of
darkness into his marvellous light;"~ 1 Peter 2:9 (KJV)
Although it was bright outside this was all the light inside the
male slave dungeon at the slave castle in Cape Coast Ghana.
After receiving Christ, you can not be a slave to sin;
only a willing servant! While
standing in the dungeon and listening to the tour guide describe I grew more
and more sad and disgusted. Hundreds of men forced into this tiny room with
little air, light, and human waste on the floor. Just imagining these horrific
conditions was overwhelming for me. With absolute certainty of any of these men
got the chance to be released from that dungeon they would run away and NEVER
look back! Too many of us today have been freed, yet we choose to stay in the filthy
dark dungeon of sin.
If you have accepted Christ as Savior, then whatever SEEMS
to be binding you; Christ has already overcome. No matter what it is. The
habits you have always had. The traits people always said you would have
growing up. That thing that just seems to have a hold on your soul. Nothing can
overtake you, child of God, unless you allow it to. Jesus Christ has loosed the
chains of sin and open the front door wide open. Walk out and don’t look back!
