John 8:32.
“And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free”.

A person that does not know truth of a situation or issue will be misguided or derailed. Not knowing the truth of a matter or an issue will put someone in a dark position and it takes consistent effort to shed light, convince and enlighten purposely to ensure transfer process from ignorance to knowledge.
Nowadays, elites and knowledgeable people are now opportunist that prey on people’s ignorance to enrich themselves
which is very common in religious circuit. Luckily for this opportunists, the ignorant people are unwilling to find out the truth and most opportunist religious leaders, ministers, pastors, prophets and others take advantage of their ignorance by selling deception for financial gains and other benefits.

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.

A lot of issues are trending about Ministers and Spiritual leaders giving unholy instructions to members to undertake some ungodly practices such as purchase of anointing oil and other materials for prosperity, breakthrough, success and many more. So also, allowing a spiritual leader to touch their sensitive parts or sexual engagement for child birth (Women). False prophecies and predictions by some reputable religious leaders for personal gains and other insatiable purposes cannot be overemphasized. They are leading blinded congregation astray that obey their instructions, believe in their false prophecies and imitate their unholy and unbiblical activities. Especially, people that make them their role model, spiritual father, mentor, counselor are already derailed and some people see them as semi god to imitate.

1Corinthians 11: 1
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

Many people are already in the dark, but truth is illumination that will enlighten them by exposing details. Not knowing the truth will only put a person in bondage and such person is already tied down. Kind of bondage in this context are ignorance bondage, spiritual bondage and world bondage.
Ignorance Bondage involves lack of knowledge in particular area of study, issue, programme, project and many more that is of interest. A person that is in ignorance bondage cannot know truth because of blindness of heart and mind. Such person is in ignoramus state and always unreasonable in thought, behavior and action. Lack of knowledge is very detrimental and very dangerous to anyone already in this bondage.

Isaiah 5:13.
Therefore, my people go into exile without knowledge; their nobles are dying of hunger, and their multitude is parched with thirst.

An ignorant person can easily be persuaded or dissuaded by a knowledgeable person. Whenever there is general issue or discussion, only knowledgeable person will enlighten people on the said topical issue with expressions, convictions, solutions and recommendations.
Spiritual Bondage is not knowing about spiritual things, matters and activities. To escape this bondage, you have to spiritually guided by the Holy Spirit and Word of God. Whosoever does not have any spiritual knowledge cannot understand spiritual things because they are spiritually discerned.

1Corinthians 2:14
Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to them, and they are unable to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.

Someone that is unspiritual cannot differentiate spiritual matter, issue, case from physical or worldly things because of spiritual ignorance. An unspiritual person will not understand spiritual revelation, visions or believe in real prophecy because of spiritual blindness. They need the Spirit of God to open up their mind and word of God is very necessary for spiritual knowledge.

John 6:63
It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

Spiritually blinded person is very easy to deceive with lies by false prophecies, fake ministers and untrue or unholy ministration. Unfortunately, many people are caught up with spiritual bondage because they are only religious not spiritual
World Bondage has to do with people already caught up with worldly affairs without having regard for Godly things. They believe in worldly achievement, riches, wealth accumulation, fame, fashion, money and ephemeral things. This kind of people are lustful and passionate about what the world will offer to them. They will do anything to get their lustful desire and entrapped by world bondage that involves running rat race for riches, wealth, clothing, posh cars, insatiable desire and urge for more greatness.

1John2:15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of Father is not in those who love the world.

This is very wrong and ungodly because we are commanded to love only God not the world. Whosoever loves the world is already in world bondage and such person will not have time to serve or worship God.

Mark 12: 30
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all you soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.

To escape the world bondage, it is advisable to make God number one, know everything about him, worship him in truth and spirit without paving the way for false ministers and prophecies to penetrate.

Hosea 6:3
Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his appearing is as sure the dawn; he will come to us like the showers, like the spring rains that water the earth.
