Title: Deliverance From The Bondage of Corruption
Preacher: Dr. 'Tunde Bakare
Main Texts: Romans 8:18-22
"...The creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God..." (V21).
If there are no accurate apostolic definitions in our era, we are one generation away from paganism. The next generation would not even know what Joshua and the fathers believed. God reveals appropriate revelations to appropriate generations. It is unfortunate that the Church has been wrongly taught for decades. Hence, people believe wrongly, act wrongly, and the bondage seems perpetual. Nonetheless, in spite of the blunders of the past, God is raising a prophetic generation that shall root out every tree that God has not planted by the prophetic axe of His word. Although, corruption was brought into the world by a specific group of people called the sons of God, it will take other sons of God—the true sons of God—to nullify what some sons of God initiated (Genesis 6:1-3; 4:25, 26). The purpose of the earnest expectation of the creation is not just for the manifestation of the sons of God, but for the true sons of God with power and grace to bring deliverance to the creation in every facet of human endeavour. Only true witnesses can deliver souls – Proverbs 14:25. God would never reject those who know Him and serve Him with all of their hearts. And those who don’t know Him but seek Him with all their hearts will never be forsaken also—He will never bypass those who are crying unto Him for deliverance (Isaiah 61:1-7).
Therefore, this message is anchored on three critical words: bondage, deliverance, and corruption.
Bondage: The word bondage means slavery or involuntary servitude. It also means captivity, imprisonment, or the restraint of a person’s liberty by compulsion. In scriptural context, bondage signifies spiritual subjection to sin and corrupt passions.
Deliverance: It means release from captivity, slavery, oppression, or any restraint. It also means rescue from danger or evil (Genesis 45:7; Isaiah 61:1-7).
There is only one location in the entire universe that deliverance can be located or received: Zion, the Church. It is only in the presence of God that one can receive the power and grace to live above the bondage of corruption (Obadiah 1:17). It takes only the true sons of God who carry Jesus’ anointing and message with energizing power of the Holy Spirit to cause the people to arise and yearn for true freedom. The Spirit in the word of God and the power of His word is capable of delivering you from whatever captivity or bondage you might be experiencing (Romans 11:26, 27).
Corruption: It means decay or depravity. It also means to change from good to bad. It means to waste, spoil, or consume. To corrupt means to defile and pollute. Moreover, it also means to entice from good and allure to evil (Genesis 6:11, 12; Psalms 14:1-3; 1 Corinthians 15:33; Matthew 6:19; Exodus 32: 7; 2 Corinthians 11:1- 3.).
Epitome of Corruption: The giants that were born to men in Genesis when the sons of God intermingled with the daughters of men were mighty men of renowned (Genesis 6:4; 10:8-10). It was the commingling of the holy seed and unholy seed that produced the corruption in the world. They were mighty in activities that were fuelled by hell and the end-product was nothing but destruction and utter woe. These giants are the multinational corporations of our days—the harbinger of corruption in the land and city. For this reason, the true sons of God must rise so that every harbinger of these mighty and renowned evil men will be out-rightly uprooted forever. Deliverance from corruption can only come from Zion. It is the true sons of God that would bring about the kingdom of God to every aspect of human endeavour.
