Sermon

 Introduction: The sufferings of the people under the oppression of their enemies. The cause was sin and their disobedience to the commandments of God. Many people are presently living under the demonic influences and oppression of the devil. However, not everyone is guilty, yet because of the severity of the sinful conduct of the majority and leaders, the sin and punishment of the majority is likely to affect the righteous ones. The bible says that when the ungodly rule, the people groan under various types of hardship and oppression. Yet, because of the few righteous, God will remember His promises; visit His people when they cry to him for help. After they had realized their mistakes, of course! The Bible talks about God as a compassionate father, mighty in power and full of mercies and kindness.
