THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAME FROM GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING THAT YOU CAME FROM GOD: IT’S WHAT HELPS TO KEEP YOU STAY IN THE REALM OF BEING – ABOVE ONLY!

“For we ARE His WORKMANSHIP [His own master work, a work of art], CREATED in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would WALK in them [LIVING the GOOD life which He PREARRANGED and MADE ready for us]” Ephesians 2:10 Amplified.

It’s a high time to stop any saying that LIMITS you as such or that phrases of yours especially the FAILURE or FAILING concepts as – it RUNS in the family, it’s in the family DNA, it’s in family BLOOD, it’s PART of the family, it’s of the family TREE and we CAN’T help it, like father LIKE son, like mother LIKE daughter and other such like. Such acts of BELIEF and CONFESSIONS, DECLARATIONS, PROCLAMATION and PROCESSING may have been part of your entanglement for limitations and setbacks knowingly or unknowingly. Because it contradicts the NEW CREATION terms of reference on your place in God’s Redemption in Christ Jesus for you. It’s time to REASSESS and REASSURE yourself for the NEW DAWN you, in Christ Jesus.

“Therefore if ANYONE is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a NEW CREATURE [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the OLD THINGS [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, NEW THINGS have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]” 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amplified.

“For neither is CIRCUMCISION anything [of any importance], nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but [only] a NEW CREATION [which is the result of a new birth—a spiritual transformation—a new nature in Christ Jesus]” Galatians 6:15 Amplified.

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that can make you to LIVE and be ABOVE ONLY is your ability to come to the terms within you, that God MADE you, created you and you CAME FROM God only THROUGH your Parent’s to fulfill divine PURPOSE of God, and you are not FROM YOUR Parent’s in real terms of doing life and living godly in fulfilling the PURPOSE of God – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12. This is NEEDFUL in order to FULFILL PURPOSE. Henceforth, you can now stop the ANALOGY and BLAME game ON your Parent’s for your present or past limitations and setbacks.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE. 29 For those whom He FOREKNEW [and loved and chose beforehand], He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the IMAGE of His Son [and ultimately share in His COMPLETE sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. 30 And those whom He PREDESTINED, He also CALLED; and those whom He CALLED, He also JUSTIFIED [declared free of the guilt of sin]; and those whom He JUSTIFIED, He also GLORIFIED [raising them to a heavenly dignity]” Romans 8:28-30 Amplified.

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a DESTINY—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the COUNSEL and DESIGN of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12 Amplified.

This knowing and understanding of who you are in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in Christ Jesus, is needful, otherwise, you will live in your parents image and not in God’s image in you – which you are. For you are of God, made in His image and likeness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 John 4:4, 6; Revelation 4:11; Genesis 1:26-28. Be informed today as a reminder and as an awakening, that your parent’s image of you is of a limited abilities and it’s prone to failures and setbacks in all about mortality. God’s image of you as in His WORD that’s governed by the blessed Holy Spirit, is pure in all goodness and it’s irrevocable; for God’s WORD unveils the FULNESS of God about you in Him. And the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of His WORD by the Holy Spirit about you in Him keeps you to be ABOVE ONLY in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Living in your parent’s images instead of God’s default of you, means the NATURAL human setbacks and limitations in SICKNESS, POVERTY and SPIRITUAL DEATH will set in as a consequence of the Adamic nature – Romans 5:17-21. And that adamic nature, limits you in every level of human endeavours – wherein the SPIRITUAL DEATH is exacerbated and that leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally ETERNAL DEATH.

It’s true that Joseph and Mary were and are the vehicle to bring forth Christ Jesus into the world for human Redemption, but Christ didn’t come FROM them. He only came THROUGH them to fulfill PURPOSE – which is the CAUSE of God for human REDEMPTION in Him. Hence Christ wasn’t reckoned after them in terms of REDEMPTION but purely use them as avenue as expected of any to live and operate on the earth. Hence they (Joseph and Mary), as every human being, needed Christ Jesus to have access to God without any special exemptions – Romans 5:1-2.

It’s for this knowing and understanding of who you are of God in Christ Jesus, that will make you rise above your parental image and lineage in every good and perfect way to LIFE and GODLY LIVING. The idea that your parents were and are poverty strickened, uneducated, die of a particular branded sickness and diseases, lives in the low segments of life and such like, should not and cannot be RECKONED to you when you have the knowing and understanding of God’s image of you through His WORD by the Holy Spirit, in everyway of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus perceptive of God’s BLESSEDNESS.

I pray you come to know and understand that you are FROM God only in essence THROUGH your parents to fulfill purpose as you do LIFE and live GODLY in the EARTLY BUSINESS on the BEHALF of God. It’s time to SEARCH the SCRIPTURES to fashion and condition your image in the similitude of God in you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!

In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. It’s upon this knowing and understanding that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us”  Romans 8:31-34.

Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.

It’s true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of up thrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.

Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY]” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.

“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN

DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN: KNOW THEN THAT YOU ARE  BORN OF GOD!

A CHRISTIAN you say you ARE? Know then that you ARE born of God and you ARE God’s vehicle and vessel of change, in changing and influencing lives and making an effectual difference for the good of others, for God in Christ Jesus stead. And your being born of God means then you ARE Christ FOLLOWER, SOLDIER of Christ, Christ WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. You can ARISE today and let it be – who you are in God.

My first understanding of the word ‘CHRISTIAN’ as to becoming a Christian is to understand that:

*It is a nickname given to those who are followers, witness and Missionary of Christ as in the book of Acts epistles. Acts 11:26; Acts 26:27-29; 1 Peter 4:15-17.

*And when you take the word CHRIST out of the word CHRISTIAN, you are left with ‘IAN’. And ‘IAN’  means to me – ‘I AM NOTHING’. Meaning, one is of no WORTH, but ONLY in WORTH, because of Christ in you and you in Him. Otherwise, it’s religion, dogmas and religious bondage and tradition of men.

Everyone in Christ is therefore a FOLLOWER, SOLDIER, WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch” Acts 11:26.

“King Agrippa, BELIEVEST thou the prophets? I know that thou BELIEVEST. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou PERSUADEST me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I WOULD TO GOD, THAT NOT ONLY THOU, BUT ALSO ALL THAT HEAR ME THIS DAY, were both ALMOST, and ALTOGETHER such as I AM, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29.

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a SOLDIER” 2 Timothy 2:1-4.

DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN: Then You Are BORN OF GOD To Be – Christ Follower, A Soldier Of Christ, A Witness, A Missionary And An Ambassador!

A Christian? You are God’s vehicle or vessel of changing and influencing lives and making an effectual difference for the good of others. You are Christ Follower, Soldier of Christ, Christ Witness, Missionary and Ambassador. You can arise today and let it be – who you are in God.

My first understanding of the word ‘Christian’ as to becoming a Christian is to understand that:

Everyone in Christ is therefore a Follower, Soldier, Witness, Missionary and Ambassador.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a SOLDIER” 2 Timothy 2:1-4.

Did You Say You Are A Christian: Then You Are Born Of God To Be – Christ Follower, Soldier Of Christ, Witness, Missionary & Ambassador!

A Christian? You are God’s vehicle or vessel of changing and influencing lives and making an effectual difference for the good of others. You are Christ Follower, Soldier of Christ, Christ Witness, Missionary and Ambassador. You can arise today and let it be who you are in God

My first understanding of the word ‘Christian’ as to becoming a Christian is to understand that:

*It is a nickname given to those who are followers, witness and Missionary of Christ as in the book of Acts epistles.

*And when you take the word Christ out of the word Christian, you are left with ‘ian’. And ‘ian’ or ‘IAN’ means ‘I Am Nothing’. Meaning, one is of worth because of Christ in one.

Everyone in Christ is therefore a Follower, Soldier, Witness, Missionary and Ambassador.

“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch.” (Acts 11:26).

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us . . .” (2 Corinthians 5:20).
