You can change things


To him that overcometh will I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne (Revelation 3:21).
  Our spiritual promotions are based on our triumphs of faith. God watches to see us overcome every challenge that we face because He’s given us the power to do so.
  Your level of spiritual maturity determines the kind of relationship you’ll have with the Lord. Let me explain what I mean with this illustration: when you were a baby, your parents did everything for you. They fed you, bathed you and changed your clothes. But they stopped doing all these for you at a particular stage in your life. This wasn’t because they loved you less, but because you had come of age, and as such, you were expected to be more responsible for your life.
   In the same way, there’s a stage in your Christian walk where God isn’t at all perturbed when you’re faced with unpleasant situations. In fact, He’s actually happy to see you face challenges because He knows you can change any situation with the power he gave you. In addition, you’re promoted spiritually each time you put the word to work and change negative or hopeless situations.

   It doesn’t matter that the doctors may have diagnosed you with an incurable or terminal disease; if you’re born again and filled with the Holy Spirit, God isn’t at all perturbed about your situation. He’s actually waiting for you to reverse the situation. Or maybe it’s been five years since you graduated from the university, and you’re still trying to get a job, or start up your own business; God wants you to change that situation also.

   You need to realized that you’ve come of age; you’ve arrived in the place where God wants to see you change whatever negative or hopeless situation you’re confronted with: “ye are God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”.(1 John 4:4)

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...
