Topic: KNOWING THE TRUTH
Text: Read:  John 8:32
Daily Bible Study:  Genesis 35-36; Psalm 15.

And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).

A lot of people today live their lives in bondage which could come through discouragement, depression, bad moods, slavery to sinful bad habits, and so on. Some have even come to the level of believing that they cannot overcome these bondages on the grounds that they are human. All these bondages stem from the fact that these individuals do not know the truth about God's word or they only know the truth in part.

Our Bible text today confirms that our freedom from bondage of sin depends on the amount of the truth of God's Word in us. Little wonder Satan does everything within his ability to prevent man from knowing and holding on to the truth. He wants man to know as little of the truth as possible so that he can remain in bondage. Anything that puts you in any form of bondage is not the truth.

Neglecting to study the holy Bible, feeling unwilling to join other brethren in fellowship, sleeping during church service and daily family devotions, rejecting outdoor preachers and feeling too tired to even pray, are all signs that the devil is pushing you away from the source of the truth. The book of Romans 10:17 states that our faith can only be built when we hear the truth of God's word. Serious believers must dig deeper daily to understand the truth of God's word. It is then that one can be free from satanic gimmicks and bondage.

Prayer: LORD God, open the eyes of my understanding to daily behold the truth of Your word and be free from satanic influences, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ – Amen.

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs. The awards are likely to be ‘handed out’ in a series of scathing tweets from Mr Trump, and it is unclear whether he will present winners with any sort of booby prize. He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...

FEBRUARY 01, 2019 Thank God its Friday! Tate joined me in my car as I drove to work. I dropped him off at 7up bus stop, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was heading for his company headquarters at Ajao Estate. I got to work early enough. Not very comfortable because I did not exactly carry out my duties properly yesterday. I eventually defended my activities in the meeting presided by the MD. I left with Dare in our separate cars for Iyare Transport Company to Waybill Oxide pigments heading for Benin to Golden Julirose. Joined the the brethren who visited the Old People's Home at the location. We sang and prayed with the old people and rounded up at 6pm. I left with Tobi to pick up Tate at Itamaga and drop off Tobi at her residence in Itamaga. Drove home with Tate. Hung about at B-Lounge with Tate later in the night. Took 2 bottles of beer and a plate of pepper soup each. Bought a plate of pepper soup as 'take away' for Ify.
