We’re joint-heirs, not Co-heirs



 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ… (Romans 8:17).
   If you’ve ever operated a joint bank account you’ll know that no money can leave the account unless both signatures are appended. The bank will not honour a cheque unless both signatories have signed since they own the account 100% together. So, the Apostle Paul wasn’t making a mistake when he peened the words, “joint-heirs” instead of “co-heir”. To be a joint-heir with Christ therefore means that everything that belongs to Jesus Christ belongs to you in the same way and to the same degree that it belongs to Him. The two of you own everything 100% together, not 50-50 or 60-40 or 70-30.
   It’s not difficult for some folks to accept that everything that belongs to the Father belongs to Jesus, but when it comes to believing that everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to us, they wonder, “Can it really be true”? When Jesus died, we died with him; when he was raised from the dead, we were raised together with Him (Ephesians 2:6). The Bible says He is the head and we are His body (Ephesians 1:22). The head can’t have a greater part in the inheritance than the body, because they’re one! This is the reason the Bible says “all things are yours…” (1 Corinthians 3:21).
   Can you see why poverty is an insult to Jesus? Can you now see why you should never go hungry another day? You’re a signatory to the heaven account, and the good news is that Jesus has already appended His own signature; it’s up to you now to do the same and begin to enjoy the inheritance. As you declare in faith that prosperity, health, success, victory and all the wonderful blessings in the gospel are yours, you’re appending your signature and you’ll find yourself walking in your inheritance.
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...
