Boundaries or borders define how far a person can go
especially walled borders with intimidating gates and fierce looking guards.
Sometimes, the walls are so high and entrenched with electronic devices that
electrocute if a person attempts to scale walls when passage is denied through
the gates. These are physical borders or boundaries.
Other borders such as spiritual, marital, financial,
material, etc also exist. These borders particularly the spiritual ones to a
very large extent impact on all other borders. This is to say that spiritual borders are very
important and pay a very significant role in a person’s life. This explains why
people make spiritual enquires; usually outside of the word of God to what
their children, relations, neighbours, enemies, communities and even nations
will become. This practice called divination by the Bible is wrong and sinful
in the eyes of God the Creator. This is because practitioners of divination
source information from demons (Isaiah Chapter 8 verses 18 to 19); owe their
allegiance to demons and do not worship God. Significantly, God warns against
the practice. Additionally, the practice does not bring light to the
practitioners which explains why they continually remain in darkness and
certain stratified borders defined by the mediums they patronize.
A couple walking in the light of God experienced
financial challenges because the husband lost his job. Rather than focus on
polishing his skills and getting another job, he preferred what the diviners
told him and for years has been waiting for the fingered witch in his life to
die so he can get another job. Unfortunately, this has stretched on to close on
ten years. Quite sad! But a little prayer offered to God to intervene in his
situation so he could get another job would have solved his problem. But he
chose to be spiritually and mentally as well as financially imprisoned in the
spiritual borders of divination thereby limiting himself.
