Be a Champion

Be a Champion
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance (Genesis 45:7).
  In life, you’re either a victor or victim. There’re those who barely manage to survive; they’re the ones who fall victims of the economy and systems of the world. What they’re mostly interested in and concerned about is keeping their heads above water, so long as they and their small nucleus family are content.
  On the other hand, there are those who go through life with a different mindset-they win for others. They aren’t content to have just enough to merely get by; they drive themselves to make things better for the sake of others. Simply put, they’re the world’s problem-solvers. They’re the champions of our day! They’re always bursting with ideas on how to solve the problems that they face, so that other might also benefit from the solution.
  You’ll find such an example in David, who, during his showdown with Goliath, had several thoughts running through his mind. When he first heard the giant boasting, he asked one question: “what will be done for the man who defeats the giant?” and he was told among other things, “he and his house will be free of taxes in Israel.” Young as he was, his eyes sparkled at the thought of his entire family being exonerated from tax forever!
  So, aside championing the cause for the entire nation of Israel, he was determined to win the battle against Goliath so his family would benefit. Consequently, he was both Israel’s champion and the champion of his own family.



 As a child of God, be a champion! Don’t be content to just make it through life with enough for yourself. Win for others! Make your world a better place! Be a problem-solver so that other may gain and have a better life. Recognize life’s challenges as opportunities. Don’t count yourself as a victim. Ask God to give you an idea to solve problems for yourself and others; be a champion today!

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...
