LIFE'S PROBLEMS:THE SOCIETAL CAUSE

For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother's womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of Heaven's sake. He who is able to accept it, let him accept it (Matthew 19: 12)

The Lord Jesus reveals to us that many people have become eunuchs in life. Eunuchs are people who have their power or ability to succeed, prosper, excel or rise to greatness taken from them. They have been rendered impotent and castrated and therefore have a dry tree kind life.
And yesterday, we looked at the first cause, that renders people eunuchs. That of the womb a person was born from or the foundation of life he or she was born into.
Today I want us to consider the second cause, that of society itself.
The Lord said, people become eunuchs not because they were born or created that way, but men have made them so. Wow. This is humbling, but it's true. For life is filled with many examples.
My grandfather's case is a classic example. As a seven year boy, he was sent to serve in the palace of his king. In those days, it was a privilege and a prestige. But he realized too late in his old age that he has been castrated. Like Esau, he sought his lost of power, his pain and misfortune with regret, tears and alcohol.
In the Bible, Mephibosheth was just five years old when the news of the death of his father Jonathan and grandfather king Saul came. And out of fear and panick, his Nanny took him to flee, but he fell from her hands. Mephi became a crippled for the rest of his life. He was not born eunuch, unable to walk, but became one, against his will and too young to even understand (2 Sam 4: 4). We are also told of Reuben, the first son of Jacob, out of his own stupidity and sensuality, was cursed by his father Jacob for sleeping with his wife. As a result, Reuben who was excellent in strength, dignity, honour and favour, lost everything, he was no more able to succeed or excel (Gen 49: 1 -4, 1 Chron 5: 1). Also Balaam, the witchdoctor was hired to curse Israel by king Balak, but for God's intervention, he couldn't (Deut 23: 4 -5).
We know also from our contemporary history that even governments work to impose sanctions on other people to prevent them from succeeding. They even place limitations on their own people so that they don't prosper and overthrown them. Some people too have become agents of Satan and going about buffeting and rendering other people impotent with their acquired satanic and demonic powers. Whatever be the case, these things are real and Jesus was right on point that men can and do make other people eunuchs, to have dry tree life, even though that is not God's purpose or intention for them.

Notwithstanding, we have the opportunity now in Christ to rid ourselves from any dry tree kind of life imposed on us by men legally or illegally. This is what Easter which commemorates the death of Christ on the cross is about.
So let's us use this season rightly to set ourselves free from this unfortunate life problems. They can make us eunuchs, but through Christ we can be restored and made whole again. The dry tree kind of life can be turned to a green tree kind of life through the authority of the Blood and the power of His Name.
May the sprinkled blood of Christ speak your restoration, healing and fruitfulness from every eunuch life men has place you in in Jesus name.
Shalom, life and grace to you
