Take Charge

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.




   You must learn to be unruffled or unperplexed regardless of what happens around you! Take charge. 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 had been buried for four days. He was in charge.
  When Jesus eventually showed up, Mary and Martha at different occasions came to Him and said “Lord if you’d been here, Lazarus our brother wouldn’t have died.” I am often thrilled at the Master’s response. With neither regret nor fret in His voice, he said, “… I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall be live: and whosesoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die…” John 11:25 what confidence; when others were extremely confused and agitated!


  How I love Jesus; nothing could shake Him! Relaxed, he stood at the entrance of the sepulcher, uttered a simple prayer of thanks to the father, and called out: “Lazarus, come forth!” the man that had been dead for four days, come out alive (John 11:41-44).  That was faith, functioning from a place of rest and absolute mastery.
  Faith recognizes no fear, because it trusts in the ability of God. When you’re faced with challenges, don’t cower or become frightful or fretful. Be in charge. All through this year, irrespective of what happens around you; even if you receive negative news from afar, maintain your composure and declare God’s word. Take charge. Refuse to worry; just give the word and effect a change. Hallelujah!

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...
