Joel Osteen Devotional 20th October 2025 – Today’s Inspiration
Today’s Topic: A Slave to Nothing
Scripture: Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again.” Exodus 14:13, ESV
Pharaoh initially let the Israelite slaves leave Egypt but later came chasing them because he saw them as his property. You need to tell Pharaoh, tell the enemy, tell the past, tell the addiction, “You don’t own me. I was bought with a precious price. I belong to the God who spoke worlds into existence. I’m not your slave; I’m His child.” You have to know who you are and who you belong to. Fear doesn’t own you. Poverty doesn’t own you. An addiction doesn’t own you. Don’t see it as your master, as though it’s so powerful that you’ll never be free. No, it cannot stay. Your body is a temple of the Most High God.
You are not a sick person trying to get well. You’re a well person fighting off sickness. You’re not a poor person trying to get ahead. You’re a prosperous person fighting off poverty. You are not a slave to any negative thing. God created you to be free, healthy, whole, and victorious. It’s just a matter of time before what comes against you changes in your favor.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that the negative things of my past have no right to hold me back from the good things You have in store for me. Thank You that I am Your child and a slave to nothing. I declare that I am free and moving up to the next level You have for me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
TODAY’S INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE: The Scripture says, “Take every thought captive that goes against what God says.” Get a picture of that. When a negative thought comes—fear, worry, doubt—you can’t be passive or complacent. “I wish that wasn’t here. That’s so discouraging.” No, you have to arrest that thought. It’s an intruder. It has no right to stay. “Take it captive.” That indicates force, aggression, being on the offensive. The Scripture could have said, “Just don’t think it; don’t pay it attention.” But God was showing us how important it is to be proactive. If we’re going to have a sound mind, it’s not going to happen automatically. We’re going to have to start locking up some things. The apostle Paul said, “Give no place to the enemy.” Are there some intruders in your mind that you’re allowing to stay? Are you giving place to negative, discouraging thoughts?
