WE ARE MADE FREE BECAUSE…..

ID-10038840

And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing ( Isaiah 10.27).

The advent of Jesus Christ has revealed many things about man and the whole universe. Several things that were not possible before have become possible for Christians because of Jesus Christ. Several diseased people are now being healed and set free. Poverty is no longer holding some people in bondage.The power of sin used to hold people in bondage but now, people are being set free from the oppression of sin. All these benefits are possible because of the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

If you are in difficult situations and have tried what is humanly possible without getting any solutions, I recommend that you consult the Holy Spirit through God’s word and you will surely receive great answers to your challenging situations. All is not lost for you. The Gospel of Jesus Christ has hope for the whole world. We have been made free because of Jesus Christ and the anointing of Holy Spirit so take advantage of these.

OVERCOME THE WORLD

ID-100123059

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world (John 16:33)

The world is full of uncertainty and fear. A lot of people are going through challenges such as sicknesses, bitterness, heart breaks, unsuccessful marriages and lack of income to take care of family members and so on. Indeed, we are told in scripture that these things will happen.

However, in spite of all these challenges, Jesus Christ assured us of peace that surpasses human comprehension. With this peace, we are able to focus on His word as the source of life and consequently bring about positive changes.

Why are we able to bring about positive changes? – Because Jesus has overcome the world on our behalf. We act in His stead to make the world a better place to live in. Let us always continue to be of good cheer and affect the world positively through His word.

DISCERN BOTH GOOD AND EVIL

ID-100208045

“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14).

By nature, one can’t remain as a baby for a very long time. From the stage of being a baby, one goes through several developmental stages until adulthood is reached. This scenario also applies to the Christian growth. One has to grow from a ‘baby Christian’ after born again to a ‘matured Christian’. It must be emphasized that this process depends on time although some persons spiritually grow faster than others.

‘Baby Christians’ have many limitation for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). As they receive knowledge from God’s word, they develop and gradually exhibit the nature of God which is already resident in their spirits. The 5 senses are influenced to discern both good and evil. One is able to know for a fact that Jesus Christ has overcome the world and sin cannot have dominion. Therefore, in cases where the ‘baby Christian’ sins or commits errors, the ‘matured Christian’ is smart to discern and refrain. It takes a conscious effort to discern and refrain from sin and evil. The Holy Spirit is always there to minister to us to do God’s will all the time. Amen.

BRIDLE YOUR TONGUE!

ID-10076704

If any man among you seem to be religious, and brindleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain (James 1:26).

The human tongue is a vital element of the body therefore the need to be very careful with it. The tongue directly or indirectly drives us to our destinies. If your confession is always in the negative sense, that is, always complaining and speaking negative about yourself and other people, your life will end up in disaster. I have come across people who always confessed sickness and death about their lives and finally got the result of their confession. If you want to enjoy life to the full as a child of God, be careful about what proceeds out of your mouth. Bridle your tongue with the word of God by always speaking what the word says even if the environment around you is staring at you in the negative.

We are not saying that don’t say what is happening around you (either negative or positive). You may narrate the negative happenings around you but don’t end there. Conclude that change is very possible because of what God has said about you.

This is the secret- words are spirits and powerful; anytime you confess correctly based on the word of God, your body aligns with your confession and begins to actualize your confession. You will end up getting the results (either positive or negative) of your confession.
