The new life of faith

When things seem to be going the way you don't like or maybe you are facing some hopeless situations, God expects you to change the situations with your faith. Why? In 1 John 5: 4 “for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith” KJV. Your faith is your victory. Hence, you have the ability to turn the situations around.

OUR LIFESTYLE


  Faith is our lifestyle as Christians. Romans 1:17, “for therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith” KJV. Some Christians are facing some hopeless situations because they are very sensitive to their environments or senses. So, if the weather is cold, they will say they have cold, if they are running temperature, they will say they have hay fever. That is not your lifestyle. You are born of the word of God and that is your source of life; your faith in the word of God gives you the life.



SICKNESS IS NOT IN OUR GENE

  As Christians, we do not get sick! Why? Because, we were born that way, sickness is not in our genetic make-up and it is not part of God’s plan for us. 1 Peter 1:23, “being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word, which liveth and abideth for ever” KJV. If you are born again, you are born incorruptible, free from sicknesses, diseases and poverty. The seed of man is corrupt, so at the new birth in Christ, you inherit the life of God.

LIFE OF HOLDING TO THE WORD

  Our new life of faith means holding on to what the word of God has said about us as the only truth and not minding what our environments or senses maybe saying. 1 Peter 2: 24 says, “who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed” KJV. God has taken care of our problems, so all you have to do is to work out your faith in the word of God.
Praise God!

You are alive by the Spirit

    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 your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “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” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
