Know Your Right As A Believer

The bible says “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” Ephesians 6:12. Many a times, some Believers misinterpret this a lot; true the devil attack Believers with deceit but it is not for us to focus on him or to ask him to die when we pray, it is not in our place! The question we are to note is, how did the devil get to you in the first place?

We should know that the devil CANNOT touch a believer. Why? It is because we have been bought by Jesus. The devil doesn’t have a conscience like man, so he shows no mercy, he wants every believer dead that is, have every believer in his court.

Remember Jesus disarmed the devil completely, the only ability the devil has is deceit. Now, what are his intentions in deceiving Believers? He was banished from heaven permanently and the things he wanted were given to man, as man had total control over the earth. So, he hates man and wants man to be sentenced along with him on the last day.

As Believers, we are alive in Christ, Christ is our life, our heart, our all in all, thus without Him we can do nothing. This is what the devil doesn’t want, so he does everything to distract believers using his deceit schemes such as bringing things that negate the believers stand with that of Christ. He does this involving our five senses. For instance the devil deceives a believer that he is feverish, but in the real truth the man is not feverish till he affirms he is. This is because our words contain power on whatever we declare. So, if the believer says he feels feverish he becomes feverish because he declared it into his life and he has been deceived by the devil.

Believers must remember that the devil cannot inflict sickness, disease or anything contrary to the finished work of Jesus because taking sickness for example; Jesus bore all our infirmities we would ever face when He died on the cross. By the stripes of Jesus we were made healed [ref. Isaiah 53:4-5; 1^st Peter 2:24].

So, when you feel anything that is contrary to the finished work of Christ, rather than confessing what is felt, confess your stand in Christ which is the truth. If the Word says you were healed and you are feeling sick, then someone is lying and it can’t be God! Our confessions must be by faith and not with our five senses which the devil always use to deceive us. Meditate on the finished work of Jesus Christ and its benefits to you.

Remember, the devil shows you what is NOT REAL. Only focus on Jesus and you will not fall for the wiles of the devil. All these benefits we get are because of Jesus’ love for us and this the gospel truth.

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!

God's Blessing Supersedes Our Challenges

A times we wake up to meet a lot of challenges which makes us wonder if God is really there or He is just folding His hands without doing anything. True, financial issues may come up, health issues may come up and other similar issues may emerge; the first thing to do is to look at the good God has done in the midst of your troubles, this is a start. With this you get encouraged to go through His Word and meditate on it. You find scriptures where He says, “Blessed be God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. The Word meditated upon will make you understand God has already blessed you. Miracles happen when we switch from our five senses to our God sense which is faith.

When you meditate on His Words daily, it helps you align yourself to the will of God and then the directions of the Holy Spirit becomes clearer just the bible says in Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

As you continue on the path of righteousness, you see your troubles become yesterday’s news and His life becomes your more and more. It’s because of His love for us and this is the gospel truth

See God's Provision In All You Do

Some believers just wonder how they have to praise God, in other words they have difficulty praising God and they have difficulty praising God in having a normal “believers” way of life.

To praise God is to appreciate God for the reason you became a believer in the first place. The grace God gave to us is one thing you look at. For instance, “But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.” [Romans 5:8 (AMP)]. This is one reason to thank and praise God.

Another reason to take note of are the simple things around you such as the food you eat, the clothes you put on, the shelter over your head, and other simple things like that. You just have to know all these are God’s love towards you. Think about your family and your relatives; keep looking for the good in everything.

Appreciating God and His love for you and always looking at the cross to see its spiritual significance. Knowing that you were the one to be condemned and Jesus came to the rescue by taking your place. All these give you confidence in God and strengthen your faith and of course if God be for you, who can be against you? All these are because His love for us and this is the gospel truth.

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!

God Sense and not the Five Senses

To follow the Holy Spirit is so easy but some believers have decided to make it difficult. They allowed their old ways get so deep in their soul to point where what the Holy Spirit says seems ridiculous and unbelievable. This is because the new life and the old life don’t operate the same way.

The old life operates according to the five senses, which the world follows. Now if we keep paying attention to our five senses, we tend not to follow the Holy Spirit easily. Another reason why it has become difficult for some believers is because they seek God and meditate on His Word out of selfish ambition. Many a times this is due to ignorance in the Word itself. They seek God so that He would bless them without knowing that He has blessed them already, but they are not aware of it; the Word is alsp confessed out of context.

The world still operates by believing in the five senses which is living in the knowledge of good and evil, this is living without God’s guidance. This was what separated man from God at the beginning. Some believers haven’t come to the understanding that living in the Holy Spirit means doing everything the Holy Spirit says without a second thought. This is living the true Life (Jesus).

Jesus never had a second thought about following God’s will. The only time there was pain in following God’s will, God sent Angels to strengthen Him and that’s at the Garden of Gethsemane because He was about to carry the sins of the entire mankind. This is how to live and this is achieved by looking unto Jesus who was tempted in every way yet without sin [ref. Hebrews 4:15]. GOD has taken care of us because of His love for us, and this is the gospel truth.

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!

Meditation Is Key

Our being is comprised of the spirit, the soul and the body. As was explained yesterday, the former spirit we left left our soul and body polluted, however the source of our pollution is gone. There is the need to be transformed through the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

When we take out time every day and night to praise God and meditate on the scriptures then it shifts our mind to living the new life. We need to know the motive behind praising God and meditating on the scriptures. With this we live exactly how God wants us to.

What should our motive be? Our motive when praising God and meditating on the scriptures should be seeking a deeper relationship with God that is, always looking for what He has already done.

When we praise God, we praise Him for His love and mercy and grace towards us and how great He is and how He governs the universe and so on. And when we meditate on the scriptures, our focus should be on seeing God’s grace in every scripture, what God did for us through Jesus. By this we are looking unto Jesus and our focus is keened on Him.

The Holy Spirit allows the soul get used to being focused on Jesus because it is our new life. And whatever the soul does, the body follows suit. The process is easier than this explanation because the Holy Spirit Himself will guide us throughout the journey, telling us how to live our life. It’s all because of His love for us and this is the gospel truth.

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!

Jesus Our Righteousness

Why do we still have some believers not finding following Jesus as easy as they breathe? The point to note is that our being as humans is divided into three: the spirit, the soul and the body. The root of the three is the spirit. The spirit determines whose side we’re on. When we were under the first Adam, our spirit was of the devil. So, when we did something good, it wasn’t counted as righteousness because our spirit wasn’t in right standing with God. Now that we are in Christ, even when we falter, it doesn’t make us unrighteous because our spirit is right standing with God.

The only way our spirit becomes unrighteous before God is if we renounce Jesus from our lives, that is, to deny Him completely and not repent before the day Jesus’ return. Now, there is a guy “downstairs” (the devil) who wants every believer to renounce Jesus from their lives. Now when our being was of the devil, our soul submitted to the will of old spirit which in turn controlled the body. The soul is comprised of the mind, will and emotion. We are to understand that only our spirit was transformed when we became born again. It is now up to us feed our soul with the right food by submitting to the Holy Spirit, which then controls our body.

We can achieve having a transformed soul by meditating on the scriptures day and night [ref. Psalm 1]. Praising God and giving thanks to Him and you will see the grace of God come alive in your life. It’s all about His love for us and this is the gospel truth.

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!

Freedom In Christ 2

Who are we now after receiving Jesus as Lord of all and having the Holy Spirit? The bible explained how God gave Jesus all authority in heaven, earth and under the earth and we being in Jesus have the exact authority [ref. Philippians 2:9-11; Romans 8:17]. We now have the commanding authority as Jesus, but remember, as man we must not sit on the fence, we just have to serve someone and as believers we chose Jesus.

Now being under Jesus implies you have the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our helper, counselor, comforter and guardian. He is also our direction [ref. John 14:15-18]. As we live in the world, the Holy Spirit guides us what God wants us to do. We can’t just go about anything as we like even though we have freedom. We are expected to act just like Jesus in everything because we have His Spirit and His mind! [ref. 1st Corinthians 2:16].

While Jesus was on earth, He said, “… I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself (of His own accord); but He is able to do only what He sees the Father doing, for whatever the Father does is what the Son does in the same way [in His turn].” John 5:19 (AMP). This is the same way we are to live. We need to ask God for guidance on what to do and how to do it. The point we need to understand is that God makes things easy for us better than we expect.

Also, as believers, we are to look unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Remember, without faith it is impossible to please God [ref. Hebrews 12:2; 11:6]. The way to please God through faith is to look at our perfect representative, Jesus. The more we look unto Him, the more we appreciate God’s grace and mercy towards us and our lives get transformed for the better and we start seeing miracles happening. It’s because of His love for us and this is the gospel truth.

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!
