The Lord Almighty will lash them with a whip, as when he struck down Midian at the rock of Oreb; and he will raise his staff over the waters, as he did in Egypt. In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat. Isaiah 10:26-27
A “yoke” is a wooden bar that is lashed to the neck of an animal that enables it to bear heavy burdens and pull large loads. The farmer binds the yoke to the animal’s neck, so it cannot shake it off. *Yokes often signify slavery and oppression.*
In today’s verse, the prophet, Isaiah, brought good news to King Hezekiah. The Assyrian king had captured Judah’s cities, demanded exorbitant tributes, and mocked the God they served. *But God promised that He would lift the burden and break the yoke! “by reason of the appearing of the Anointed One,” Christ*
And why would God deliver Judah? Was it for His great love? Because Hezekiah was such a deserving king? Because Judah had done all the right things in the right ways? *No, “by reason of the appearing of the Anointed One,” Christ, gave their freedom!*
*As His children, we are His anointed.* Whatever yoke Satan has bound to your neck to lead you astray and bow you under its weight, God will lift it from your shoulders.
He will not just remove it – He will destroy it! *You will no longer have to carry that burden.* It will no longer be a source of struggle that will affect you or your children. *The anointing breaks the yoke to set you free!*
LET’S PRAY.
May the anointing of God lift every burden and break every yoke in your life to bring total freedom and joy!
Grace speaks, Grace elevates, Grace distinguishes, Grace repositions, Grace makes great, Grace never suffers disgrace, Grace paves way, Grace gives strength. When there is a casting down, God’s Grace brings unbelievable lifting. You will enjoy the Abundance of God’s Grace in Jesus precious name. By the grace of God, those things that trouble you, powers, personalities you will not see them anymore in the mighty name of Jesus. Peace shall be with you today and forevermore “by reason of the appearing of the Anointed One,” Christ. Amen Amen Amen! Fountain!
