*ESCAPE FOR YOUR LIFE*

*By Pastor E O Gabriel  10 July 2025: Share*

SCRIPTURE: And it came to Pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the Plain; escape to the Mountain, lest thou be consumed - *Genesis 19:17*

The wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah had waxed great in the sight of the Lord. 

He sent three Angels for the destruction of the City. 

*The Angels brought Lot, his wife and two daughters out Sodom and Gomorrah, with a Charge to escape for their lives by doing three things namely:*

*(1)* They should not look back.

*(2)* They should not stay in the Plain.

*(3)* They should escape to the Mountains.

*A look at these three Commands reveal deep secrets of undefeated Living.*

*Whatever battle a Man faces in life, these three Commands will guarantee Victory.*

*Let us consider them one by one:*

*(1)* Do not look back.

Unfortunately, Lot's wife disobeyed and never lived to tell the Story. 

She became a Pillar of Salt - *Genesis 19:26*

Our Destinies are not behind but ahead. 

*Looking back is the first step towards going back; it is walking away from one's Destiny.*

When Jesus overcame the Temptation of the devil, He commanded the devil to get behind Him - *Luke 4:8*

Going back is to return to the devil whose Assignment is to steal, to kill and to destroy - *John 10:10*

*(2)* Stay not at the Plain.

*This was to tell Lot and his household that you cannot stay at the level the trouble of life hit you and overcome.*

When the Amalekites came against the children of Israel, Moses, Aaron and Hur moved up to the Mountain Top - *Exodus 17:8-13*

*(3)* Escape to the Mountain.

This talks about the need to Change the Altitude. 

Though not necessarily the Geographic Altitude but one's Spiritual Altitude. 

*The Greatest Secret of an undefeated Life is to gain Spiritual 6altitude; moving up in the Place of Prayer and Fasting and other Spiritual Exercises.*

The Apostle said we will give ourselves continually to Prayer and the Ministry of the Word - *Acts 6:4*

*Prayer:* 

Father, Please in this wicked world, empower me to escape for my Life in Jesus Christ Name.

And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...
