BIBLE IN A YEAR: Rev 19-22

IN A PIT?

MEMORIZE: "Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession" (Proverbs 28:10)

READ: Genesis 37:23-24

There are seven levels of ground that an individual could be placed. From the lowest to the highest, you have the bottomless pit. This is a pit which has no terminal point. Anything you drop into this pit continues to fall through time without a solid floor to rest. Revelation 20:1-7 says Satan will be bound and kept in this prison for a period of 1000 years. During the Millenial reign of Christ and His saints on earth, Satan’s assignment will be to continue falling downward in his chained state for 1000 years! No wonder Heaven will come to earth! Unfortunately, some human beings would eventually end up where Satan would, because they rejected Jesus Christ. Accept Jesus today and stick with Him. If you dreamt and saw yourself falling in a pit with no bottom, it is meant to trigger a continuous fall. Whatever your level of descent, the Lord will reach out for you, and cause you to come out this season in Jesus’ Name.

The bottomless pit is not for you. The second level is the pit. This is a depth from the ground level. Usually, some pits have water in them, e.g. a well. A pit is a depth with a bottom. Being kept there endangers the life of the captives. It is pretty difficult to breath when you are a good depth below the ground level. This is one reason not too many people like to engage in manual well digging. Once in a while some people can enter a pit for failing to heed warnings. The life of any pit captive is seriously threatened. Every good thing about the fellow is buried and movement is seriously restricted. Darkness is the companion of such a captive and his voice cannot be heard. In Genesis 37:23-24, Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers. Many people today are operating from the pit. Any pit the enemy has thrown you, the Lord will bring you out today in the name of Jesus Christ.

“Whoso causeth the righteous to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession” (Proverbs 28:10). This scripture talks about a pit of error. Some people are so deep in error that they do not realize they are deceived. They are in a pit. Are you in error? The Spirit of truth will fetch you out today. Proverbs 22:14 says, “The mouth of strange women is a deep pit: he that is abhorred of the LORD shall fall therein”. Fornication and lust are deep pits that will take only God to bring you out of. A young Christian once visited a colleague of his at home. She was his course mate at school. That day, after seeing how she ran her big apartment like a brothel with men taking their turns with the lady and a few others, he fell into the pit of immorality. As he left that evening, he went in search of a brothel - a place he had never been. That was the beginning of several trips to prostitutes which lasted several years. Eventually, the Lord delivered him. Are you in a pit? You are coming out.

ACTIONPOINT:Ask God to fetch you out of any pit you are in today.
