Sufficiency and All Sufficiency

Hi everyone,

We all have needs, and we all want these needs to be taken care of. When these needs are sorted out, we intend that what was provided is sufficient in meeting these needs. So, what is sufficiency?

Sufficiency is an adequate amount of something,  especially of something essential.

Now, sufficiency comes from a source, but as long as these sources are directly from man, it is limited. For instance, if three children are hungry, two children can sufficiently be taken care of, while the last one would ask for more, but the source is out. This is where limitation comes in when man tries to take care of his needs. But there is someone who says His sufficiency has no end. In other words, it isn't limited in anyway. This is where all sufficiency comes in.

God is the only one who is all sufficient. The sufficiency of the all sufficient God therefore is an adequate provision that can never be exhausted or run dry. He is the God who is more than enough to adequately handle all the needs of all His creatures without running short of supply.

Let me apply all these to our daily lives. When we put money in our bank, it is limited based on the fact that it can hit zero, as you keep on taking from it. But in the case of God, His wealth cannot be measured by human understanding, and as you take, there is no reduction. Even when you've taken, what is left appears as though you didn't take anything.

God Almighty is eternal. All that He is, has no beginning nor end, so are His attributes. As a result of the fall of man, man became limited in everything. And as Jesus who started a brand new life or beginning, started an era under the dispensation of the life of God Himself. In other words, all those who are born of God under Jesus have the God-life. And by having the God-life, we are given the all sufficiency of God as a gift through grace.

Living under the old dispensation of life, our health is limited, which is why sickness, diseases, and other related things pop up. But when we are born afresh, brand new, under our Lord Jesus Christ, we have a brand new life, which carries the Spirit of God. And with this the health of God becomes our health. The wealth of God becomes our wealth, the peace of God becomes our peace, and so on, because He loved us and gave us His life, and all that comes with it. It is a gift, it is not something we work for. If it we were so, no one would have been qualified enough to meet the standard of God. So, this is why it is a free gift from God.

So, the way to gain access to this life of Grace, is just by believing that we have it as we receive Christ Jesus as Lord of our life. And your reaction to Grace is through obedience and not hardwork. (I'll expand more on this point in my next write-up).

He is the all sufficient God, all we have to do is believe in Him, believe that He has done it, which He has already, and has given to us.

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!

What's In Your Pocket?

It's a brand new week, filled with success and divine favour.

Someone came to tell me that he wasn't sick anymore. Then I asked how he knew that, he said his doctor told him he wasn't sick anymore. We also have cases where someone would say he or she is ill, and they'd say the doctor told them.

Before the doctor told the guy that he wasn't sick, he believed he was sick. Then the doctor said he wasn't sick, then all of a sudden, there is this confidence within, a strong sense of confidence that you go out confessing that you aren't sick because your doctor said so. So much faith in the doctor.

Why is there so much faith with people like doctors for health, engineers for buildings and bridges, mechanical engineers for cars, and so on, but no sense of confidence at that level (not to talk of a higher level), with Jesus?

We pray to God for solution to certain problems, or for things to be answered. Then, along the way when we don't see the manifestation, we doubt by asking ourselves, "maybe, it was something I didn't do right" or "maybe I should pray all over again." All these have been the deception placed by the devil for those born again to believe their prayers aren't answer because of what they did. Now, let me tell you what they actually did wrong.

When you pray to God to be healed or for a situation to get sorted out, you are to do this with absolute trust in God in name of Jesus. This is absolutely important because, Jesus carries the highest name; the highest rank; the highest authority there is would ever be. This is the first part. So, what are you to do after this?

Let's look at 1 John 5:14-15, "Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. ¹⁵And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." The verses makes us understand that the confidence we are to have is that whatever we ask of the Lord accordingto His will, He does it because He hears us.

So, what actually happens when we say a prayer to the Lord God, the devil could bring up doubt, fear, worries and unbelief, to feel we didn’t say the prayer right.

Some could think they didn't say the prayer according to the will of God, (another common deception from the devil). Then they keep repeating the prayers request over and over again, to ensure the prayer gets to heaven. Really, this isn't right!

The question now is, what's in your pocket?

When you become born again, you become born of a new Spirit, and this Spirit is the Spirit of Jesus, the exact Spirit in Jesus. In other words, you carry the exact personality of Jesus, why? This is because you became one heir with Jesus. Anyone born of God doesn't become a new entity, but is joined to the sole entity that was raised from the dead into the perfection of a brand new source of life—Jesus! And this is what everyone MUST remember. 

Now because you carry the identity of Jesus in the Spirit realm, all that Jesus has become is who you have become. Why? This is because Jesus died to save the whole world, and when He resurrected, the He gave us every ability He has. So, the focus is not on you, but on Him. Whatever He is, is who you are right now (ref.: 1 John 4:17).

So, take health for instance, the moment pray for health, you need to understand that even before you made that prayer, you were healed. All you needed to do was to accept that you were healed. 

So, after you've prayed for healing, you thank God that you are healed. You don't ask God for the healing He has given you, what you do is to thank Him for His health He gave to you. So, what's in your pocket? Health.

We don't know what you carry, but when I ask you what you have, then you say you've got the health of Christ. Then I ask you how you know that. You then tell me, Jesus told me. This is true, because all that He is, you have become.

What's in your pocket? Then you say, the success of Jesus. I ask, "how do you know?" Then you tell me, "Jesus told me."

This is the confidence that we have in the name of Jesus. When you thank God for what He has given you, you strengthen your faith. The devil wants you to resend the request, but Jesus wants you to thank Him for what He has given you.

Let us not forget that grace is a free gift, and cannot be received based on works, but by believing. For with works, we will NEVER meet up to His standards.

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!

What Ingredients Do Your Words Contain?

It's another awesome day, trust you guys are great.

In my last write-up, I explained how words determine action, and I also explained why Sons and Daughters of God don't see any manifestation despite speaking the words of the Highest name—Jesus, and how that can stop. 

Today, I'll explain what our words contain that bring about result.

Let's look at Hebrews 11:1. It says "NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses]." AMPC.

The verse says faith is the assurance. In other words, it is the confirmation, the title deed of the things we hope for. These things we haven't seen, but it assures that we have it and is real. The words that we speak functions using faith whether in negative of positive form. So, our words contain life or death in them, depending on which one we focus on.

Everyone speaks using faith, which is the life withing the words. The faith is a conductor carrying an "authority charge" from an authority itself, which varies based on its source.

Now, the faith we all found ourselves is extremely corrupted and filled with sin, as a result of this we can't speaks the words of God/Jesus with accuracy, as a life we can adopt as our new life, unless we become Jesus Himself by having His spirit as our life. This was made possible through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, thereby giving us the opportunity to be born again, in order to drop our old life/spirit, and pick up a brand new one. And in so doing we picked up the perfect faith of Jesus, which we speak, declare and confess with, (ref.: Romans 6:4, 5:12, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20).

So, with this, let's take a look at our words closely. Many people believe that it is after we speak that we become. But the truth is that we become with our words. In other words, the becoming is our words. For instance, you don't say you're healed to become healed, instead you say you're healed because you ARE healed. And why is this so? This is so because all that Jesus is, is who you have become. What we do, is to let our soul know this. In other words, you are healed, but your soul doesn't know this! Which is why you confess and declare who you are as the reality.

Your Words in Christ carry power when you know you are what you confess even before you confess it.

God in Genesis saw the earth even before He spoke. As He spoke, it was what it was that we saw. But left to Him, it had been before we saw it, which is why Hebrews 11:1 says, substance, assurance, title deed, confirmation, proof of what we hope for, which we know already is, but the evidence isn't yet seen to others till the words are said.

In another way to understand this, miracles shouldn't be a thing of surprise to us when we declare. But it can be a surprise to others, because they haven't seen it. We have the substance in our pocket, the evidence isn't seen ti we show them through our declaration. But how would you be surprised at what you already know you have? It doesn't flow right? Yeah.

In conclusion, we need to know that Jesus has done it, and the job is done. So, as we confess, we confess or declare to show others what He has done, and they then see the manifestation. And as I always say, meditation on the word of God is key, this would strengthen your understanding to know how to speak what Jesus has done to manifestation. 

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!

How To Put Your Words To Action

Hi everyone, I know your week is going great.

In my previous write-up, I wrote on The Power Behind Your Words. And in continuation of that,  I will answer the question I posed at the end of the last write-up, which is to know why people don't see the privileges of Grace despite speaking them based on the word of the Lord.

I had written last time that words give birth to action. In other words, there is no action without words. Words are causes that lead to action, which is the effect of the word said. I also said that words however follow a hierarchical system, based on levels of authority.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 that all authority in heaven and on earth have been given to Him. This implies that He has the highest level authority. And those who are His Sons and Daughters, who operate under Him are endowed with authority when they speak.

The authority of Jesus comes to the point where, when a Son or Daughter of God under Jesus say they are healed, then they are healed, or when they they drive out demons, the demons leave. The authority is amazing.

So, to answer the question the know why people don't see these privileges of Grace despite speaking them based on His word. The reason is simple. When you speak the word to yourself or to situations, you unknowingly negate that which you spoke through doubt or unbelief. 

Apostle James said in James 1:6-8, "But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he  is  a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." What he meant here is that anyone who asks the Lord a thing, which includes declaration, should ask with faith, which is the believing that Jesus had done it even before asking. And that man should not have a double mind, or else he shouldn't expect anything from the Lord.

It is kind of like planting a seed, and then taking it up again, then deciding to plant again, and taking that seed up again, thus not making up your mind if you want to seed to be planted or not.

When we declare the word of the Lord, take healing for instance. When you say you are healed, the moment you doubt what you said, what you did was to say, "no, I'm not healed". And all these come as a result of the polluted and sinful world that our soul is used to. So, it is very easy for the soul to adapt to unbelief unless it is renewed, (ref.: Romans 12:2). The mind must know that it is healed because of Jesus' resurrection.

Jesus once told His disciples who could not heal an epileptic boy despite commanding the foul spirit to leave. Jesus said in Matthew 17:21, "However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”.

Jesus had earlier rebuked them for lack of faith. Which implied they doubt at some point. And prayer and fasting is a time of dedication with the Lord, where renewal of the mind takes place. And when the mind is renewed, the strong will that the infirmity had gone is seen even before you say anything. All because you recognise the authority from which you draw strength from when you speak. Therefore, action follows in line with the undoubted word of Jesus.

Now, some don't doubt immediately, but later, all because they were expecting immediate sign of the words spoken coming to life. What they don't know is that the job was done immediately the word was spoken. An example is when Jesus cursed the fig tree. The Mark's account said Jesus cursed the tree, but they only heard what He said. It wasn’t till the next day that they saw the result of what Jesus said, (ref.: Mark 11:14, 21).

However, in the Matthew's account, the tree withered away immediately (ref.: Matthew 21:19). There is no contradiction. The moment Jesus spoke, the tree lost it's life, but no one saw the result till the next day as the effect of the words of Jesus were seen the next day.

Never doubt when you speak with authority, because it is not with your authority you spoke with. The authority you spoke with is the greatest authority there is. All you need to do after the declaration is thanksgiving on and on for what He has done. This is important because the devil will want to sow seeds of unbelief and doubt to you. You must rebuke it and stand firm on the word that is true. It is a continuous process to ensure that you are committed to the word of the Lord, and consistent in giving thanks to Him. You say it, it is done. This is how to put your words to action.

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!

The Power Behind Your Words

It's a brand new week everyone. I believe your week is already great. How do I know that? It is because I said it. So, today my write-up is on why words are more powerful than action.

The famous riddle on which came first, the chicken or the egg? Is quite similar to today's write-up. Many believe actions are more powerful than words, but that's not true. The truth is that our actions are an effect to a cause, and that cause in every case are words.

Now, words may not always be the sound you hear from your mouth. It could be an image, or a person's look, or something. All these say something, that cause you to do a thing, which is the effect of the word you saw in whatever form, any of your five senses picked.

Right from the beginning, God Himself created the universe through words, everything submitted to His words, or were the effects of the words He spoke, (ref.: Hebrews 11:3). So, the question would be, how so important are words?

Words are the most powerful thing in the universe, however, the level of power or authority is based on hierarchy. For instance, imagine a lieutenant giving an order and a General countering that order. Based on the level of hierarchy, the words of the General are obeyed. The lieutenant doesn't have the authority to counter the words of the General.

So, what come out of your mouth?

Every word said is an authority. Most especially when you are a Son or Daughter of God, and you speak with His words. Whatever you speak comes to life. All the things we see around us are as a result of what we have said. This is because God Himself put the power of creation in every human, as we were made in His image and likeness. So, we need to be careful with our words.

Everything we see around us are past tenses. They are the manifestation of all what we have been saying over time. The power of creation is in your mouth. But just as I said earlier there are words greater than others.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:18 that all authority in heaven and earth have been given to Him. Therefore, those who are born of Him carry His authority, especially when they speak His words, based on the privileges that came by grace through His resurrection. 

So, when you say you are healed, then you are healed! When you say you are a success, then you are a success.

The question now is to know why people don't see these privileges of Grace despite speaking them based on His word. Log on to my next post and I'll tell you why.

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!

Who's Your Daddy?

Hello everyone, 

There's never a time I go through the popular Psalm 23 that I don't get inspired. The Psalm is so powerful, that in my toughest times, I gathered strength from it, I'm brought back to to foundation of whose rock I'm standing on.

I went through the Psalm, but the way The Passion Translation put it boosted my Spiritual fire. It went thus, "Lord, even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! You remain close to me and lead me through it all the way. Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near." There is no way in life that we won't go through dark times or moments, whether personally, or what is pushed on us for being a Son or Daughter of God.

The verse said even if walking with the Lord takes us through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me. And the reason for this was what struck me. The verse says, "For you already have!"

I went like "whaaaat". We cannot be over taken by fear because the Lord Jesus has overtaken us and conquered on our behalf.

There is no situation you find yourself in life, no matter how bad it is, as long as you walk with the Lord, know that His has taken over the situation. His authority is our authority. We walk like a Lion because we rest on the shoulders of the Lion of the tribe of Judah.

We have nothing, all we have is Jesus'. We can never overcome the world with the knowledge of the universe. All we need to do is drop all allow Him do His job. And guess what? He has already overtaken the world, (ref.: John 16:33).

The comfort of our Lord Jesus' love takes away out fear. That confidence to step in anywhere has been given to us. All we've got to do is to take it, receive it, believe it, and most of all, use it. Je is our Good Shepherd, so we've got nothing to be afraid of in any way. Darkness flee from us, not because we're powerful, but because He is powerful and full of authority. So, who's your Daddy?

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!

The True Growth In Christ

Hi everyone, 

There's a saying, "You can't hide smoke when a house is burning." Where you stand in life is displayed to everyone, as you live your life. So, if you claim to be born again, your actions tell us if you meant what you said or not. And when I mean actions, I'm not referring to religious sentiments, but a life you have become.

When a seed is planted, time will tell what exactly was planted. Eternal life is meant to reflect as you grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Now, the fullness of Christ was given to everyone who became born again. But the knowledge of this is not from the Spirit, but from the soul. The Spirit has become the same Spirit that dwells in Jesus, but your soul needs to be aware of this, so, this is where the growth takes place.

Romans 10:17 says faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. In other words, it is your positive response to that which God has done for you through the utterance of His anointing in Jesus. Faith accepts what God has done. With this, knowledge of who you are is being growth in the soul. And as it grows, we can see it manifest in the body.

No one born of God can be sick, neither can they sin, or grow old, or be depressed, or be in poverty, or die. Why? It is because of the Spirit of Jesus they have inherited. The Spirit of Adam isn't in them anymore. So, all the attributes that came with the Spirit of Adam has no business in them. But their soul has to know this. And why is this?

The soul has been groomed in the old system of the first Adam. The soul is very committed, and all that the soul holds on to is manifested in the body.

Now, the soul must be aware of its new life or else the person who is born again, lives his or her life as those under the old Adam. But would be redeemed on the last day in the second coming of Jesus. 

So, the body that didn't receive the full knowledge that death has no place in it would be transformed to the nature it was meant to be if it received the knowledge of who it is.

The focus should not be on not committing sin, but on focusing on Jesus. Just Hebrews 12:2a says, "Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]." Amplified version. Your soul grows into whatever you focus on. And since the Spirit of Jesus is who a born again has inherited, the person born again should focus on who he or she has become.

It is growth into the perfect image of Jesus. So, it is possible to portray attitude of one who is immature, which is popularly know as sin. Now, the devil on the other hand brings guilt to you, and with this, you mourn over the mistake you have made, which is the distraction the devil brought to you. What you failed to understand is that the moment you are committed to fixing your eyes on Jesus, then sin had no hold on you as you are refreshed and renewed all the more with your constant gaze into the perfection of our Lord Jesus.

True, we should be aware of the wrong things we do. But we should not mourn over it as long as we are focused on Jesus Christ.

When a person who is born again ask the Lord for forgiveness, he or she isn't asking to be in right standing with Christ. What he or she is asking for is for strength to run the race better, and why is that? Anyone who is born again is already in right standing with God in the name of Jesus. This is because those born again are already joint heirs with Christ. They have become one with Him, for there is no difference. In other words, there is only one identity not two, and the identity God sees is the identity of Jesus.

Growing in Christ Jesus is the only way to manifest the fulness of Jesus in our bodies. This is where is see perfect health, wealth, good success, prosperity, (ref.: Joshua 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3), being youthful at all times, and most of all, transformation of the body into an eternal one, even before the second coming of our Lord Jesus. All these come through faith, which is accepting all that Jesus is right as who you are.

Remember, it's not about what you do, but about what Jesus did for you. All you need to do is just believe that all what He has become is who you are, SIMPLE!

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!

The Flow of Eternal Life To Your Daily Life

Hi everyone,

Last time I wrote on what those born of God inherited in Christ. Just as Adam inherited death, all those born under him inherited the same thing. But the last Adam, Jesus brought life (as He Himself is life), so all those born under Him have inherited life.

Death comes with sickness, diseases, poverty, depression, pain, aches, and things similar to it. Likewise Life comes with health, wealth, peace of mind, strength, no more death and more.

Today, my focus is on growth in Christ Jesus. What many don't know is that eternal life, even of the body, starts the moment a person becomes a new creation. What happens is that many believe what is bound to happen alone is we drop the physical body when we sleep, and the Spirit and soul goes up till the second coming of Jesus Christ. But no, eternal life starts immediately when you become a new creature, because that is the life you inherited.

How do we manifest the eternal life here on earth?

As a person becomes a new creation, he already has eternal life, he doesn't need to look for it. What he needs is to pour it out.

Now, the reason why there is no manifestation is because the person is ignorant of his new life. And this is because of the soul. Now why the soul?

The soul is where the mind, will and emotions sit. What happened the day a person becomes a new creation is a change of spirit, but not a change of the soul and body. Both would have been transformed if and only if the soul submitted to the Spirit.

Why is the soul not submitting to the new Spirit?

The soul was only told of a change in management, but not a change in how things go. The soul is very dedicated to its duties. And whatever the soul says it reflects in the body. The body is just a reflection of what the soul stands on.

The Spirit is full of power of our Lord Jesus. But cannot be seen or experienced in the body till the soul comes to the understanding of this. Now, the way the soul would know is to be told it is now. And Romans 12:1 says, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which  is your reasonable service." Now, this is expected when you become born again.

Then for the new Spirit to flow or manifest, Romans 12:2 continues thus, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." To renew your mind implies to unlearn who you're not by relearning who you are. And who you are comes with hearing, (ref.: Romans 10:17).

The scriptures explains who you are, especially when your focus is on Jesus—His death, burial, and resurrection.

When you meditate on who you are, you are retraining you soul to submit to your new Spirit. And since your Spirit is already brand new, the areas where your soul has submitted to your Spirit flows through your soul and manifests in your body. (I'LL EXPLAIN IN DETAIL IN MY NEXT POST).

So, our effort here would be to meditate on the word as often as possible for the renewal of our mind and the transformation of our bodies. This is how miracles happen, and this is the growth process.

In my next post, I'll explain in detail how this growth happens, and how the Spirit flows through your soul to your body, to see the resurrected life of Christ flow as your daily life.

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!

What Have You Really Inherited?

Welcome again dear readers to my blog. Today I will answer the questioned I posed at the end of my last post, which was: So, if we now carry His personality, what next, what should go along with it?

In my last post, I looked into 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." We now understand that the person who is born again or is now a new creation isn't the same person in anyway as the former, not just because of sin alone, but also because of the Spirit/personality. 

The old person had the life of the first Adam that inherited the Spirit of sin, while the new person has the life of the last Adam—Jesus, who has the Spirit of God who is inherited as the new life. So, what really happens after being born again?

Many would say, study the scriptures more, attend church services, be nice to people, give to the Lord, and do not forget the poor, and so on like that. But are these the signs that you're born again or to make it even clearer, are these the signs that you carry God Himself in you as your life?

What every Son and Daughter of God should know are what they have inherited. We know we have inherited the Spirit of Jesus who is the very same Spirit of God. So, what is contained in the Spirit of God?

The first question is to know the very thing that is contained in the old nature which the first Adam inherited.

The first Adam inherited sin, which is the sin nature. And this sin brought about death. Romans 5:12 says, "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned." Death is what we all inherited when we were born the first time.

So, what is associated with death?

Sickness, poverty, disease, old age, lack of peace, depression, pain, aches, wrinkles, grey hair, and so on. All these lead to death which is the end result. So, there was a need for humanity to be saved, because no matter how many sacrifices we offered to God, we all had the sin nature in us that had to be removed. And the only way was for us to die. But God had a better way.

The better and only way by God

Romans 5:19 says, "One man’s disobedience opened the door for all humanity to become sinners. So also one man’s obedience opened the door for many to be made perfectly right with God and acceptable to him." TPT. Jesus came as the only man without the sin nature born of a woman. He was the sacrifice for our atonement (ref.: Hebrews 9:22).

Now, because of Jesus, we are forgiven, and even more because of His resurrection a brand new life began through Him as the last Adam, the Adam without death but life!

What did we inherit by being under Jesus—the last Adam?

The very first thing is life! I cannot emphasise it enough. There is no death under Jesus. Many on the contrary think it is till the second coming we can receive this gift of eternal life. But even right here on earth, we gain access to eternal life. I'll tell you how soon.

As I have said before, Jesus told us exactly what eternal life is in John 17:3, "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent." To know God is to become one with Him, and this happens when you become born again.

2 Corinthians 5:17 uses the phase, "If anyone is in Christ..." For one to be in Christ, as I explained in my last post, is for one to be ingrafted with Jesus, to become one person with Him. And when you become one person with life, how can you die?

Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:4-5, "So, while living in this “tent,” we groan under its burden, not because we want to die but because we want these new bodies. We crave for all that is mortal to be swallowed up by eternal life. ⁵And this is no empty hope , for God himself is the one who has prepared us for this wonderful destiny. And to confirm this promise, he has given us the Holy Spirit, like an engagement ring, as a guarantee." TPT. 

Those born of God groan to gain this new bodies. Now, the groaning here is a Spiritual form of groaning, sort of like speaking in tongues. These saints weren't referring to the new bodies they would receive when they die and later receive when Jesus returns. They were referring to their Spirit level to get to the point of swallowing up their very mortal bodies by eternal life, which comes with the process of being one with God (when their soul completely submit to their Spirit).

Apostle Paul went further to say this was no empty hope as God has prepared us for this wonderful destiny by giving us the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of it happening, (Explain further in my next post).

So, as death was inherited in the old life, life is what we inherit in this new life. Which means we are not to fall sick, grow old or wrinkle. We are not to have disease of be poor. The reason why all these are expected to happen is because we have become one with Jesus. And all that Jesus is, is who we have become. Just the way all what the first Adam was were all we were in the old life.

Eternal life starts the moment you become a new creature, but growth is what determines the expression of who Jesus is in how we live.

What is growth in Christ Jesus? Log on to my next post and experience the Gospel truth and how unlimited God has made us by becoming One with Christ Jesus. 

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!

The New Can Never Be The Old

Hi everyone,

You know there’s nothing that intrigues me more than getting revelations from my Father—GOD Almighty. I'm really not bothered if some of you readers have gotten the understanding of what I put down because the word of God is new and refreshing every morning.

Today, I would look into a very popular Bible verse, which is 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Let us pay attention to some key terms in the verse such as "new creation", "passed away" and "all things have become new". I would do a break down on what these terms mean.

First: New creation

To say something is a new creation implies that it never existed before. It doesn't mean an improvement, or else it would have been stated as improvement. Surprising again, it doesn’t mean metamorphosis like a level of transformation from one stage to another. What it simply means is the creation you see is brand new—something that never existed before.

Second: Passed away

To say something has passed away is for a thing to cease to exist, or for a thing to come to an end or complete stop.

Third: All things have become new

To say something has become new signifies a rebirth. Like something is not just under a new management alone, but also implies the entire structure and system is brand new, not relating to the previous structure that existed there before. Therefore, having no business or relationship with whatever stood in the place the new structure has been erected.

So, what is my point in all these?

When a person or anyone is in Christ, the person is a new creation or creature. For a person to be in Christ, implies being ingrafted into Christ. In other words to become one person with Christ. The person you knew before has ceased existing. And a brand new person you've never seen now occupies the place of the person. And this new person is Jesus as Galatians 2:20 makes us understand.

Another thing we need to understand is that the new person is in no way the old person. And why is that? This is because their Spirits—personalities are different. As 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 puts thus, "For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again."

What the verses above imply is that we all died with Christ on the cross because He died for us all. Therefore, to those who would live by being rebirthed (born again), they live not as themselves, because they are born afresh as Him—Jesus, as they carry His Spirit as their new life. By doing so, they don't live for themselves, but for Him who died for them because as 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, they have been ingrafted; become one; become joint heirs (ref.: Romans 8:17) with Him.

Wow, this single verse is much deeper than how I've tried to simplify it. I pray the Holy Spirit breaks it down further for your understanding.

So, if we now carry His personality, what next, what should go along with it?

Log on tomorrow for the answer to this question. 

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!

True Signs of Faith

Happy new month everyone,

You know, there's something about faith that we need to understand. Many times we claim to have faith, but we don't see the manifestation of that, which should be tagged as the faith we claim, could something be wrong?

Jesus said, if we have faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountain, (ref.: Matthew 17:20). So, what could be wrong?

First, Jesus said this can be achieved through prayer and fasting. Now, this is where I intend to dwell. What does the fasting and prayer do to your personal life, your personal behaviour to things?

To fast and pray doesn't mean hunger strike, as I've often said, but a time to completely surrender oneself to the leading of the word of God through the Holy Spirit. In order words, you spend time with God so much that you don't give thought to your flesh.

What are the signs you have faith?

When you completely surrender yourself to the word of God, there is a flow of the faith of Christ that works through you.

Another thing I came to understand is that faith is not a private thing, but a public thing. Let me explain. When you are confident in your closet that you are healed, a person with true faith expresses the faith in public. You don't hide what you stand for to yourself so as not to appear stupid to the public.

Let me use this simple illustration. If you're sitting on a chair, you're sure you are sitting on a chair. But if people around you say you're not sitting on a chair because they're not seeing it, but only you are. Will you change your statement despite being sure? No, you won't, because you're sure. Which is why faith comes with an assurance, it doesn't care about what people think, because what faith says is, is what is. You've received your healing, and that is it. That you say that the sun appears blue doesn't change what colour the sun reflects. 

So, when the Lord Jesus says you're healed, that is it. The world is blind, which is why they can't see clearly. And this affects their judgement.

So, to genuinely express your faith in public based on the faith of Christ that works through you, there is no way you won't see the manifestation, unless God is a liar. And to come out in public to stand your ground isn't with human understanding, it requires constant meditation on the word of God by surrendering to all Jesus has become through His resurrection. Work out your faith by examining yourself daily through the word of God.

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!
