FREEDOM IN ITSELF IS NOT BEING FREE
FREEDOM DEMANDS RESPONSIBILITY
•Freedom is our most yearned status to act at one's will without restraints or interference. But the price of FREEDOM comes at a cost. Freedom is not free.
•Freedom is more cumbersome than slavery. freedom takes from limitations to limitlessness, from bound to boundless from a niche to infinity but it leaves you with infinite choices. only self-restraint and responsibility can help you make the best out of your freedom.
•The children of Israelites never understood the concept of freedom until they crossed the Jordan. No manna, no quail. No more Red Sea to be parted sideways, no more Egyptians to get drowned and more rock to produce water for drinking.

•When you choose to be free, get ready because you will be loaded with decision making, choices and restrictions.
•The free gift of GOD is eternal life in CHRIST JESUS, is it really free? You have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling Phil 2:12.

•I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.. Phil 4:13 .. does it mean you can kill? does Christ empower you to kill?
