A New life of glory in Christ


Although, most Christians can easily accept, that the new creation have a past but it is not so. New creation does not have a past. The bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:17 “therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away: behold all things are new”. KJV the new creation is not a man who turns away from sinful life and become a saint. He is a new brand one without past. He has not existed before. If you look at the book of psalms 2:7, “I will declare the decree: the lord hath said unto me, thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee”. From where we read the bible says this day have I begotten thee mean that he born him, he did not say raise you from the dead which will mean an extension of the past life. In other words, Christ Jesus was given birth to again. He was the first begotten from dead Revelation 1:5. Meaning he was the first to be born from dead. So, if you are in Christ, you are a new creation with the life of the glorified Christ Jesus, you are a recreated man. This is so because when he died, we died with him and we are raised up with him. Romans 6: 4, “therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like a Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the father, even so we also should walk in newness of life” that means that the life we are living today as Christians is new life of glory This glorious life is superior this earthly life. It is life of success and glory. Praise the Lord!

How to follow Jesus

                  Following Jesus is not going to church always, it is not praying always, it is not reading the bible always etc. although, all these activities are good but they do not make one a follower of Christ Jesus. Matthew 19:16-21, the rich young ruler was perfect in all of them yet something was missing which was the most important one. In the book of John 3:1 Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jew, was disqualified in spite of his knowledge of the law.              What is following Jesus? So, what is following Jesus? Following Jesus Christ is living by the word of God. Luke 4:4 and Jesus answered him saying man shall not live by bread alone, by every word of God. This is living your life according to the direction of the Word of God. It is abiding in the word of God or Jesus. John 15:4-5.     Steps to follow  ·          You must believe in Jesus Christ, John 3:16   ·          You must be born again John 3:3 ·          You must have faith in God. Heb 11:1-6 ·

Salvation is for the Living

     Some people have asked if Christians could intercede on behalf of a person who died without receiving Christ, so such a person could go to heaven instead of hell. The answer is No. “For the grave cannot praise thee, death cannot celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth” Isaiah 38:18-19. Anyone who didn’t receive Christ while on earth stands condemned. In John 3:18, Jesus said, “… but he that believeth not is condemned already….”   So, the one who dies without knowing Christ, died in condemnation, and it would be of no use praying for such a one to go to heaven because the choice of whether to make heaven or not is personal one.   It’s important to realize that the salvation message is for the living and not the dead. You can only receive Christ as Lord and Saviour in response to the Gospel while you’re still in the earth. Jesus

Keys to Effectual Prayers

  And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to pray… (Lake 11:1)   When you study the lives of the early prophets and the apostles, even the Lord Jesus Christ, you’d find they were very effective in their prayer lives. In our opening verse, disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray because they observed His prayers' effectiveness. So, it’s not just enough to pray; it’s the effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous man that produces results.   There’re scriptural rules and guidelines for effectual prayers. There are some things you have to pray about continually, you intercede continually; and there’re things that you pray for only once because if you keep praying about them, you’re getting into unbelief, rather than applying faith.    Meanwhile, there’re things you’re not even supposed to pray for, because no matter how long you pray about them, God is not going to respond becaus
