PRISON EXPERIENCE: THE HOPE WE DON'T HAVE AND THE CHOICE WE HAVE

by Femi A. Falade

Going to prison for the purpose of visiting the inmates is one of the experiences that calls us into our senses whether spiritual or natural compared to that of hospital. When we see those who are young and old, full of visions and aspirations, full of energy and strength, full of life and endowments, handsome and beautiful young men and women, part from old ones in a place that they cannot have their freedom to do the things they love to do, we will cry and cry badly for them.

Among others, my experience and the privilege I have to talk and encourage these prisoners tells me that those who have their freedom (physical and nonphysical) are ungrateful to God.

Although you have nothing to eat, you can decide to move around and even to beg, brother and sisters, this is a special privilege. Begging today doesn't mean you will beg forever. But those who are I this prison cannot.

How long do we neglect the orphans and inmates. How much do we pay visit to the less privileged? What can we do to get them off their bondages or at least relief them? God is beckoning on us. Do something!

When speaking on behalf of the rest inmates, one of them that spoke to us expressed himself in a well-constructed and grammatically articulated words of appreciation that made me wonder why such person could be held back in the prison for any reason. Friends, let sow seeds of prayers for them. Including those in the hospital and less-privileged and orphanage homes, among others.

Let me call your attention to this fact, many grammar-blowing, well-dressed, beautiful and leaned people are under the bondage of darkness. They still look fine around us but under strick demonic manipulations. May we visit them to tell them about what Jesus has done:

That the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom. 8:21.

The days are here that the God who delivered Joseph, Paul and Silas and Peter, among others, from prison will be breaking into prisons to deliver His beloved. Many of these inmates are now born-again. Serving God in the prison.

Lord, I pray you will relief these fellows. You will heal these people at hospitals, you will restore hope to the hopeless. Jesus, show how much you love them, help us also to show this to them.

For the love of those who are in prisons, hospitals, less-privileged and orphanage homes and so on,
