Please…
A young woman seeks employment as an hair dresser, maid or general help. This usually happens because of extreme poverty due to the failure of governments providing basic social facilities. Some had too much freedom following trusted friends on trips their parents would have said no to if they were truthful about where they were going. Children, male and female, brilliant minds from all ages are dragged into a world of pain, sorrow, bitterness that seems endless.
Modern day slavery is now extreme in our world today where innocent children and others suffer, even till death. Children as young as 12 years old are forced into sex slavery and prostitution by heartless and faceless people in the society, conducting what they do as normal business. In some cases, we are not aware of the life that the person who just served us in that restaurant lives once done, or our participation in the act of Modern day slavery through our earthly thirsts and desires for those expensive outfits, jewerly or service.
This post is not meant to stop us from living, nor is it to point fingers at any of us, rather its to get us to stop! think a little and give a little.
Before you go on to read about true stories, the purpose of this post is to ask your help in praying the below prayer points and anything else the Spirit of God lays on your heart. Remember that even as you read, some innocent soul is currently in captivity…..
Lord:-
Please strengthen those who have been captured
Give them hope and your peace as they go through these dark times
Provide miraculous escape for them
Some may just be in the process of capture, save them please Lord
For those who enslave and profit in the act, touch their hearts Lord
Transform their minds to recognize the evil deeds they perpetrate
Use them to fight against what they do like you used Saul
Awaken your Spirit and the fear of you in them all
Awaken your Spirit in the hearts of governments to be selfless
Amen
Folks, while we can support many organisations who track down those who perpetuate in this act of modern day slavery, our prayers will go a long way to reach hearts, minds and change things. Let us pray that this wickedness in the heart of man stops now.

I thought you should know……
Hosea 4:11 (Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 11 “Sexual sins, strong drink, and new wine ruin a person’s ability to think straight.
Thanking God that Jesus redeemed me, I can see why the above is a statement of fact! The combination of all the 3 above once gave me a criminal record 
. Its funny how stupid the whole thing played out when I think back to that unfaithful night in my past life. Hoo well…. that’s all water under the bridge now as I am a new person and those habits of foolishness died with the chap that had a criminal record.
Let me share this with you quickly…..
Galatians 4 1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born[a] of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of[b] God through Christ.
As long as we remain children in our spiritual walk with God, living life like we have no owner or responsibility to recognise God in our lives, we will always be a slave to the world and thereby under the control of such foolish things that reduce our excellent mental ability to think with the full power and throttle of our mind.
The greatest challenge we face is dealing with the competing demands of alternatives that are screaming to take our time per second of every day and we will be wise to realise that only God and His Spirit in us can empower us to resist them. We are hit by a tsunami of choices daily, why should this be you may wonder? Isn’t it just the way life is? No it’s not….. Look at what Jesus said……..
John 16:33 (The Message (MSG) 31-33Jesus answered them, “Do you finally believe? In fact, you’re about to make a run for it—saving your own skins and abandoning me. But I’m not abandoned. The Father is with me. I’ve told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I’ve conquered the world.”
2 things to encourage you in your walk with God today: 1. Priority and 2. Discipline
Matthew 6:33 (Amplified Bible) 33But seek ([a]aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness ([b]His way of doing and being right), and then all these things [c]taken together will be given you besides.
As every day comes with different challenges, how then should you deal with things? If you don’t know find out?
What is God’s opinion of the matter?
How is the Holy Spirit leading you?
Do you even consider any of the above before you act? If you don’t, why not start now.
