Let's Get The Truth Straight

Happy weekend everyone,

Previously, I went back to the rudiments to explain the reason for the cross, thus the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the victory He achieved when He resurrected. All these were to establish the truth that Jesus took away all the curse from your life; in the new life which is at peace with God, there is no curse. This is so because if there is still curse in your life, or if God could curse you based on something that you did wrong, then implies that you were not completely free from all your iniquities and it also means that God is a liar, for He said under the new covenant, our sins and iniquities He would by no means remember, [ref.: Isaiah 43:25; Hebrews 8:12, 10:17]. So, the true message of love, which has to do with the victory of Jesus is embedded in the new covenant, and this should be what the church should be preaching in the church today, and this is what I would look into now.

When you receive Jesus into your life with the baptism of the Holy Spirit, you receive the Holy Spirit into your life, but many of us forget the Holy Spirit in many things we do. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, counsellor, helper, guardian, the One who is there to help transform our lives, the One who directs our every step here on earth and our great interpreter. We have often neglected the Holy Spirit, so it is because of this neglect, we then say things like the new covenant of Grace has given us the license to sin, and it is only those who don’t recognise the presence of the Holy Spirit and who He is that would say that. 1 John 3:9 says, “No one born (begotten) of God [deliberately, knowingly, and habitually] practices sin, for God’s nature abides in him [His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him]; and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God.” AMP.

The church is to dwell on victory Jesus acquired and has given us and those ordained by God such as Pastors, Apostles etc., are to guide the church on how to get closer to God through the Holy Spirit. The emphasis should be on allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our lives to fall according to the victory Jesus gave us by Grace which we didn’t merit in the first place.

The Bible says we are joint heirs with Jesus, [ref.: Romans 8:17], which implies that everything that Jesus owns, we own also through the Grace. Our soul was full of the wrongs of the old nature, this is what the ordained ministers of God are to call the church’s attention to of who they are now in Christ, because, Romans 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” AMP. As you keep meditating on the Word, the Holy Spirit helps refresh you with your new Spirit because the Word of God would have gone to the deepest part of your being and help you conform with your new life, why is this so? Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energising, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analysing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” AMP.

The Bible says that God’s intention of ordaining these ministers is for:

“…the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ’s body (the church), [that it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [full and accurate] knowledge of Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.” Ephesians 4:12-13 AMP.

Once you hear a message that doesn’t speak about the victory of Jesus in your life and how to draw closer to God through the Holy Spirit, thus knowing Jesus, emphasis on Jesus who is your new life then you are in the wrong place. The truth is that when you understand the love God shed on you, there would be a spiritual transformation in your life which would make you meditate more and more on the Word of God which is what the Holy Spirit is meant to do, to bring us in check with our new life—Christ Jesus.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
