"His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins." - Proverbs 5:22 (KJV)
A tyrant summoned one of his subjects and ordered him to make a chain. His subject made the chain but the tyrant ordered that he take it away and make it twice the length. He did and brought it again to the tyrant, and again he was ordered to double it. When he had obeyed the order, and the tyrant looked at it then commanded the servants to bind the man's hand and foot with the chain he had made and cast him into prison.
The devil is a tryant who orders his subjects to fabricate the chain that he will eventually use to destroy them. In Acts 5:1-11, he got Ananaias and Sapphira to fabricate the chain that he used to dispatch premature death to their household. When the devil discovered that there was no chain in the land of Philistines that is strong enough to bind Samson, he cleverly engaged him to forge chains of reckless lifestyle in the valley of Sorek (Judges 15:14, Judges 16:1-4). In order to drain the oil of God's power and glory in the engine of Samson, the devil lured Samson into Delilah's chain production factory. Obviously, his wicked plan worked out perfectly as Samson singlehandedly fabricated and handed over to the Philistines the terrible chain that was eventually used to bind him and pull out his eyes (Judges 16:21).
"But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house" - Judges 16:21 (KJV)
Beloved, that wicked tyrant (Devil) has not changed his tactics. He is still luring men and women in every generation into the chain factory of sin. Unfortunately, many people could not discern this wicked strategy of the devil. They are still very busy helping the devil to fabricate the chains that he will use to cage and confine them to his prison house of eternal dungeon. Friends, I hope you are not one of such careless ones in this generation. What is that wicked chain that the devil has ordered you to fabricate for him? Is it lust, addiction, sexual pervasion, alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography, adultery, fornication, mastubation, homosexualism, unforgiveness, anger, pride, etc. I urge you to please repent and surrender your life to Jesus Christ today so that the wicked chain dragging you to hell would be broken and you will be set free. (John 8:36). Today is your day of deliverance from the chain of agony. Please don't procrastinate.
"If the Son therefore shall made you free, ye shall be free indeed" - John 8:36 (KJV)
One special hymn which re-echoes some of the terrible repercussions of working in the chain factory of sin is titled "Sin is to Blame". Please prayerfully meditate on the lyrics of this wonderful song below and trust God to expose every wicked agenda of sin around you this day:
SIN IS TO BLAME by J. H. Vernon
See yonder man in the prison he dwells,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
List to the story he plaintively tells,
Sin is to blame for all.
Chorus:
Sin is to blame for all sorrows,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Have you no hopes for tomorrow?
Sin is to blame for it all.
Many dear children are crying for bread,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Father's a drunkard and mother is dead,
Sin is to blame for all.
Heartbroken mothers all sad and alone,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
Helpless and needy, no place to call home,
Sin is to blame for all.
Thousands refuse to accept His free grace,
Sin is to blame, sin is to blame,
All who reject Him have chosen their place,
Sin is to blame for all.
It is my prayer that God will release everyone held captive in the factory and prison houses of sin this day. Many people will forsake their sins and accept the gift of salvation that is in Christ Jesus. And songs of liberty shall emanate from many homes this day in Jesus name.
Good day and God bless you.
Maranatha!
