The New Life In Christ Jesus

And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing (Genesis 12:2)    Some people have the erroneous belief that there’re certain people whom God specially favours and blesses, and that such people are the ones called of God into a life of greatness. Well, not when you’re born again , for God chose all of us-His kids to be great, and desires to use each one of us mightily in our own unique ways to fulfill His purpose in the earth.   Everyone that’s born of God has in him or her the seed of greatness. We are the people who have been called to greatness. Unlike the children of Israel, whose greatness was preconditioned on their obedience to the Law of Moses to the letter, we, the new creation in Christ were born great. Now we don’t need to strive to keep any of those Laws anymore because they’ve been abolished (Ephesians 2:15), and we’re called obedient children (1 Peter 1:14). It’s our nature to ...

When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory (Colossians 3:4).   In his letter to the church in Galatia, the great apostle Paul in Galatians 2: 20 declared: “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” This is one of the greatest revelations of the new creation- the “you” that existed before, ceased to live. The life of old “you” was supplanted with God’s divine life.   Often, we hear Christians say: “I’ve given my life to Christ.” What this means is a total surrender of oneself to Christ. You cease to live a carefree life from that moment because you’ve given Christ the right to rule and reign over your life. You must forthwith give Him the right of way to have the final say in your affairs.   Though this happens at the point of salvation, not many of ...

For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith 1 John 5:4  When you study the life of Jesus and the way He responded to different circumstances, you’ll discover he was always in charge. His language was that of faith and absolute mastery. He was always in control; unperturbed by anything. His words were faith-filled, and He displayed an attitude of rest in the midst of turmoil. This is the life he’s given us; a life of absolute mastery, where you cease from all worries and express your faith unperturbed.

Act like Jesus, who remained unmoved when He was told in John 11:3, “…Lord behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.” KJV. The Master wasn’t moved by the news of Lazarus’ sickness; He remained unflustered even after he was told that Lazarus had died and ha...

“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours” 1 Corinthians 3:21, KJV   There latter part of the verse of scripture above is a present-hour reality; it’s not a promise. A Christian is a possessor; he’s not someone who’s trying to have. This is very important, and it is one truth you must hold on to for your faith to be as effective as it should. Get messages from  our Pastor here   Something you need to understand about the subject of faith is that faith is NOW. It doesn’t look forward to the blessings of God coming to pass; it possesses. So in walking by faith, you’re not hoping or believing to have anything, for you already possess all things. You’re not expecting anything from God, for all things have been made available to you in Christ Jesus.   Many people express hope and wonder why there’s been no change in their situation. Faith is what works ; not hope. Hope is futuristic, while faith is of the present. Hope says, “I b...

Faith is the response of the human spirit to the word of God. Faith makes everything in life possible; it does not fail. If faith did not work that means it is not faith. Hebrew 11:1 “now faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen” KJV. Faith is the evidence of the unseen realities.   Romans 4:17-20 “… before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, so shall thy seed be. And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb: he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief. But was strong in faith, giving glory to God” KJV.     From the above reference, two statements are very remarkable and the first one is God who calls those thin...

  The spirit beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if Children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ, if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Romans 8:16-17.   If you’re born again, you have an inheritance in Christ; the apostle Paul described it as unsearchable riches, Ephesians 3:8, wealth untold! It was bequeathed to you by the Monarch of the universe- the one who said “the silver is mine, the gold is mine…’ Haggai 2:8  All the wealth in the world belong to God: the money believe, precious stones, minerals, oil and everything that men believe they own, all belong to Lord and by extension you, for you’re His heir. You’re the heir of the mega-rich God; the fountain of riches. His wealth is limitless, inestimable and unquantifiable. Thus you’re born into wealth untold! Hallelujah! Do you see why you should never talk poverty or lack?  Your ‘Papa’s’ wealth isn’t su...

 Some people, when trying to explain the concept of salvation, use the illustration of a drowning man who was rescued by pulling him out to safety with a lifeline. That’s a misrepresentation of the salvation Jesus brought. A better illustration would be that the man had been condemned to death by drowning for his wrong. He’d been gagged, bound hand-and-foot, and about to be thrown into the raging sea. Then Jesus comes and says, “Don’t kill him; I’ll take his place and drown in his stead.” Jesus didn’t just throw him a lifeline, or send in divers, or swim the treacherous water to drag him out to safety. No, he took his place of condemnation and drowned in his stead! For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s 1 Corinthians 6:20 That’s the right perspective of the salvation Christ purchased for us with His own blood. So when you talk about Jesus saving you, you’re not talking about someone who delivered you from...

  When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, whom do men say that I the son of man am? And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:13-16)    Just like the disciples back in the Bible days, there’re many today who don’t know Jesus as the Christ. They merely see Him as the great prophet. Some see him as great teacher, while some others see Him as the great healer. But Jesus is all that and much more. He is the Christ.     The word “Christ” is from the Greek word “christos,” which refers to the Messiah or the anointed One, and His anointing. So contrary to what some folks believe, “Christ” is not Jesus surname; rather it refers to the anointing that make Him who he is. That anointing empowered Him sup...
