CHRISTIAN CHARACTER: A CONSEQUENCE OF FAITH IN THE GOSPEL

'And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.' - Romans 12 vs 2

Be ye transformed

This shows to us that it is possible for a Believer to be transformed, such that his characters reflects all that he is in Christ. - Selah

Now, the Apostle went on to show us how that is attained, he said "by the renewing of your mind".

To renew your mind does not mean to update your mind with new information; rather, it means to change the information that is in your mind. That means, taking out the old files, and filling in new files. - Selah. These files speaks of mindsets, mentalities. So to take out the old files means to take out the old mindsets; to fill in new files means to have new mindsets.

Now, what are the old files (mindsets)?

Let's take some;

I have anger issues
I have an issue with addiction to pornography
I am a shy person
I have an issue with telling lies, I tell lies before I realise it was a lie
I can't stop carrying women, it's a big problem I've got

And many other issues Christians struggle with.

Okay. These and more are character issues many Christians all around the world have. And these ungodly characters in the life of a Christian are unfitting. So the question is, Can a Christian's character be free from such ungodliness? Oo yes! The Apostle Paul by the Holy Spirit showed us how that's possible; he said "by the renewing of your mind".

Now, with what do you renew your mind? The same Apostle Paul tells us. Let's see it;

'And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.' - Acts 20 vs 32 {KJV}

He commended the brethren to the Word of Grace, stating that that's what is able to build them up. - Selah. So it's evident that we renew our minds with the knowledge of the Gospel of God's grace in Christ, the word of God.

So let's see some new files (mindsets) found in the Gospel of God's grace in Christ;

'And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.' - Galatians 5 vs 24 {KJV}

This is very clear. Take note that the word "flesh" used in this verse doesn't mean skin, it means the old nature, or human nature. So in more simpler words, this verse says,

"The Believer in Christ doesnt have his old human nature, because that human nature has been put to death by reason of the Believer's salvation in Christ."

Uhmmm. Beloved, do you believe this? The acknowledgement, acceptance and agreement to this Revelation is where true transformation begins in a Believer's outward conduct.

But Pastor, I naturally find myself envying others, isn't that a manifestation of the flesh (human nature)? You see, that's the problem; you still evaluate yourself from the natural standpoint, instead of the standpoint of the Gospel.

Listen to this, the extent of your faith in the revelation of the Gospel, is the extent of your christian character.

'For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.' - 2 Corinthians 5 vs 7 {AMPLIFIED BIBLE TRANSLATION}

We regulate our lives by our conviction

We conduct ourselves by our belief

By trust we walk, not by sight or appearance

By trust (in the realities of the Gospel) we walk, not by sight or appearance. We don't acknowledge ourselves according to our frail works of the human nature, no! We acknowledge ourselves according to our identity which the gospel of God's grace in Christ has revealed to us, and we hold on continually to that description of the Gospel of us. - Selah

Listen to this, the power of God to transform a Believer is embedded in the Gospel: your believing the Gospel and judging yourself according to what the Gospel has said about you unleashes in you the transforming power of God. See this;

'And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.' - Galatians 5 vs 24 {KJV}

Amazing! So question yourself like this;

"So the human nature that causes me to be an addict of womanising is actually dead? Waow! So I've been lying to myself that I've got a problem with addiction! Waow! Just waow!"

After such cogitation, get up and walk out of that addiction! You're free. It's that easy. It's the extent of your faith and trust in what the Gospel has said about you that determines the extent of your transformation in your christian conducts. - Think about it

So therefore dearly beloved of God, as you receive the revelation of the Gospel, believe it, acknowledge it as truth, hold on to it, affirm it as so concerning you, and see that very revelation become your natural reality. Glory to God.

Let's see another new file (mindset)/revelation we are to renew our minds with;

'Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. [3] And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.' - 1 John 3 vs 2 - 3 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Take note of the last words of the chapter 3,

Even as he is pure

You see, the believer in Christ is pure! We were made pure at Salvation, the Bible declares that God made us His righteousness, that means that God made us righteous;

'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.' - 2 Corinthians 5 vs 21 {KJV}

Therefore, affirm concerning yourself that you are pure! You may say, but Pastor I am not pure, I have evil deeds. Hey! Remember, we walk by Faith and not by sight. As you renew your mind with the information of the Gospel, taking out the former files (what you think of yourself), and filling in new files (what the Gospel says about you); as you hold on to the realities of the Gospel about you and acknowledging yourself to be what the Gospel says you are, in the process of time, the realities of the Gospel will become your natural realities - you will find out that you literally walk in purity and you disdain whatsoever is impure. - Selah

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

THINGS GOD CAN NEVER SAY TO YOU

You are very irresponsible
You are wicked
You are a sinner
You are bad
You are very weak
You are very lazy
You are not good enough
You are not prayerful
You are not trying
You are foolish
You are finished

And every other "You are" which points you to an inability or incapability.

'But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption...' - 1 Corinthians 1 vs 30 {KJV}

Christ is made unto us wisdom

So the grace of God in Christ has called us wise.

Christ is made unto us righteousness

So the grace of God in Christ has called us righteous.

Christ is made unto us sanctification

So the grace of God in Christ has called us sanctified

'For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.' - Hebrews 10 vs 14 {KJV}

He perfected us by His offering for our sins

So the grace of God in Christ has called us perfect

The voice of God is the voice of His written word. Having seen the above Bible passages, we understand that God will never speak in the opposite direction of the works of His grace in Christ Jesus. God's voice to us will never contradict whatever we have become by Grace. - Selah

So dearly beloved, arm your mind with this understanding and begin to know from today when the devil speaks into your mind and hearing to condemn you and make you feel low about yourself; on hearing such voice, rebuke the devil with the Word of Grace which you have knowledge of, just the way Jesus did in His temptations in the wilderness;

'And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'- Luke 4 vs 3 - 4 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Jesus answered him saying, It is written

That's how to respond to contrary voices that speaks into your mind what God's grace has not said about you.

'And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. [6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it. [7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. [8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.' - Luke 4 vs 5 - 8 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Observe the verse 8, for it is written

Beloved, that is how to respond to contrary voices, you've got to educate them on what the Gospel has declared concerning you; that way, you put them to a permanent silence in your life. - Selah. Don't resist contrary voices with counter attack thoughts, thoughts will not work; mere thinking cannot withstand opposing voices which play in your mind. You've got to do it like Jesus, speak out the WORD!

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

HEALING FROM YOUR SHAME

Shame is an unworthy feeling on the inside of a man, which produces for that man the inability for him to stand before a person or a people, because of a ignoble act done.

Shame has kept many persons from living to their full potentials; by reason of an ignoble act they did, they lack the boldness to stand in certain places, or to speak in certain places, because of that unworthy feeling working in their inside, causing them to be kept inside the shell of unnotice, where they hide and are unknown, instead of them to be seen and active fostering their course. - Selah

Shame has affected my Believers is such immense measure, whereby they are sapped of all boldness and courage to stand before God, neither can they engage in the activities of the Kingdom - not willingly, but by reason of that unworthiness working inside of them, they are just unable to get close to God and His house (the Church assembly). Shame is an issue that needs to be dealt with in Christians, to free them from the yoke and bondage of passivity and inactivity.

So let's look into the word of God's grace; I encourage you to be patient as you read. Okay let's go.

THE SOURCE OF SHAME

Shame comes as a result of an ignoble/dishonourable act done;

'And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: [10] Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. [11] The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. [12] I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. [13] And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. [14] I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.' - Luke 18 vs 9 - 14 {KING JAMES VERSION}

The publican (tax collector) in this story would not lift up his eyes to heaven: that is a work of shame! a feeling of unworthiness! And the man's words tells us where that shame came from, he said "God be merciful to me a sinner". He said of himself that he was a sinner. Sin! - the source of his shame.

'And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37
And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.' - Luke 7 vs 36 - 39 {KING JAMES VERSION}

If you carefully read these Bible verses, you noticed what Simon said in his heart,

"If he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner."

From that statement, you can understand that that woman had suffered from stigmatisation in the sight of the people, the shame was so intense that when she heard that Jesus was in that house, she decided to run to Him and camp around him just to cry before Him, to pour out her unworthiness before Him, because Jesus is so comforting to be around, He was the only one whose presence didn't remind her of her sins, neither was there any feeling of unworthiness in her when in His presence. Oooo precious Saviour! So by careful analysis of this story, we see that shame was the source of this woman's tears which she poured out on Jesus' feet. - Selah

HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF FOR INNER HEALING

'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.' - Isaiah 26 vs 3

How do you stay your mind on Christ? By staying your mind on the revelation of the Gospel.

'Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.' - Romans 8 vs 33 {KJV}

'And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.' - Acts 13 vs 39 {KJV}

God has justified us from all sin

To justify means to declare someone not guilty of an offence. For us in Christ, God holds no wrong against us. That means that we have an eternal forgiveness from the Father;

'In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace...' - Ephesians 1 vs 7 {KJV}

In Christ we have the forgiveness of sins

So you see beloved, if you fail along the way in your Christian journey, if you sin; as the pressures and burden of that sin hits your heart, keep your mind steady on the Truth of the Gospel - you have received justification from all sins. Let this Truth saturate your heart, don't consider the burden your sin hits your heart with; but rather, consider the Truth, consider the Gospel: God has justified you in Christ! You have the forgiveness of sins in Christ. He didn't say God will forgive you in Christ, but rather you have! Meaning for us in Christ, forgiveness of sins is an inheritance we came into. Hallelujah! Justification is a gift we received from God. Your heart tells you you have sinned, the Gospel says you are not guilty! Keep your mind stayed on the truth of the Gospel till the reality of the Gospel becomes the reality of your heart. Peace will come! The burden will be destroyed! And that's because you trusted the Truth not regarding the voice of your sin in your heart. - Selah

Let's see our opening Bible verse again;

'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.' - Isaiah 26 vs 3 {KJV}

Thou will keep him in perfect peace

He went ahead and gave the condition for this to be, He says,

Whose mind is stayed on thee (God)

The usage of the word "stayed" connotes, to place something in a particular place, spot, or location without an intention to take it away from there.

That means, we are to make the Word of God the permanent residence of our mind. That means, irrespective of the pain, irrespective of the accusations, irrespective of the condemnation or burden we feel in our hearts, our minds should not be found in another location other than the Word of God. You see... How do you stay your mind on God? by staying your mind on what God said (the word of God, the Gospel of Christ). So we are admonished that, as we stay our mind on the revelation of the Gospel, the reality of the Gospel which is Peace will take effect in our lives. Our hearts will be free from burdens and our minds will be set at rest. Glory to God forever. Amen.

Be encouraged beloved. God is with you.

As you hold on to your identity in Christ, not considering the identity your sin has given to you before men, but you hold on to the Word of life, believing, trusting and acknowledging as truth all that the Gospel has said you are, in the process of time as you're holding on, that reality of the Gospel which you trust permeates your conscience, enters your mentality, and it begins to become to you a physical reality. Soon enough, you will have boldness to stand before God and before the men who knew of your atrocities without any feeling of shame. Hallelujah!

'And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
13
Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14
And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.' - 1 Timothy 1 vs 12 - 14 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Apostle Paul had obtained Grace, though he acknowledged the havoc that he did, nevertheless that acknowledgment wasn't coming from a place of shame, but from a place of testimony of God's power to save and transform a man. He testified of God's grace and kindness towards him! When a man is healed of his shame, the memories of his shameful acts don't come from a place of unworthiness, but from a place of thanksgiving to God. Hallelujah!

Dearly beloved, this is the effect of trusting the Gospel, it will bring about transformation in your mind. The truths of the Gospel when believed and held on to, influences our mentality, therefore reediting our conscience, adjusting our consciences to conform to the details of the Gospel, removing the former details which were after the acknowledgements of the senses based on the shameful things we actually did. - Think slowly on these words. So that Believer that was feeling guilty in his conscience now feels righteous! Waow! What's that? That's the working of Grace in a man when the truths of the Gospel are believed and held on to and acknowledged, rather than seeing yourself through the identity that your wrong action has giving to you. - Selah

Remember, we walk by faith and not by sight;

'For we walk by faith [we regulate our lives and conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust and holy fervor; thus we walk] not by sight or appearance.' - {AMP}

We regulate our lives by our conviction

We conduct ourselves by our belief

By trust we walk, not by sight or appearance

By trust (in the realities of the Gospel) we walk, not by sight or appearance. We don't call ourselves what our sins has called us, no! We call ourselves what the Gospel has called us, and we hold on continually to the description of the Gospel of us, as it literally gives to us a conscience that is based on truth (the Gospel) and not physical facts, void of guilt and shame and all such things. - Selah. Hallelujah!

God has blessed you with His word, and you are lifted. Amen.

FRUSTRATION: EXPECTING WHAT GOD DIDN'T PROMISE

'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' - Jeremiah 29 vs 11

Many have fallen from the Faith in present times, and many are on the edge of falling; as a result of failed expectations led to frustrations and sadness. So today, there are those who are angry at the Church, many have identified with atheism, because of these two categorical reasons;

They felt they've been deceived. And this is because of the second reason,
They grumble that what they've been taught in Church over the years is not working. So they say things like, "this thing is not working".

But friend, when we investigate the thing they said is not working, you will find out that what they say doesn't work was never promised by God in the first place; preachers who will not give themselves to the learning and study of the word of God have interpreted Bible texts out of their original contexts, and have preached to the people promises and blessings that God actually didn't promise. So because the message was false, it therefore means that any faith (irrespective of its intensity) anchored on such teachings/messages will not produce the result(s) it talked about; so that means that the people will definitely be disappointed in the end because their faith will fail, because they have anchored it on a false message. - Think on these things

Our opening Bible passage is one of the many Biblical texts that so many preachers have falsely interpreted to the congregation of God's people. But let us take this one Bible passage for this teaching. Let's analyse the context of that Bible text, and see who that statement/promise was made to;

'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' - Jeremiah 29 vs 11 {KJV}

Now hear this, to properly interpret a Bible text, you must situate that text in the time when it was spoken, the people it was spoken to, and the condition for which purpose it was spoken. This way, you can accurately interpret and appropriate that Bible text. Now the above Bible passage was Jeremiah writing to the Israelites who were taken as captives into Babylon, he was writing to them the mind of God concerning them, so that they could know what to expect and how to place their expectations in that land of bondage. - Selah. Follow me. Let me show you that chapter 29 from the very first verse up to the 14th verse, so that you can have a broad view of what happened. Sit tight and patiently read;

'Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;
2
(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)
3
By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,
4
Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;
5
Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;
6
Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.
7
And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.
8
For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.
9
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the Lord.
10
For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.
11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
12
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
14
And I will be found of you, saith the Lord: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the Lord; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.' - {KING JAMES VERSION}

Now, if you read the passages carefully, you now understand what transpired there. Some Israelites were taken as captives into Babylon, and Jeremiah wrote to them the word of the Lord, so that they can know what God is saying about their situation. Part of what God said concerning the Israelites taken captives is what we read in our opening Bible passage. Let's take a look at it again;

'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' - Jeremiah 29 vs 11 {KJV}

You see, this was Jeremiah writing to them God's word concerning them in their captivity. Simple! This was not a promise made to everybody, it was a promise made to those Israelites in captivity; and you know what, God has fulfilled that promise, because He brought them out of their captivity as He said He would. You see... that was not a promise to the Christian, it is not a promise to us. But what do we hear in many of our churches today, Pastors use this Bible texts (and others which they wrongly interpret) to assure Believers that God is going to give them breakthroughs and all that. When these brethren after a long wait don't see positive changes in their situations, they begin to feel that Christianity doesn't work, satan takes advantage of that position of theirs and pull them out of the sheepfold. Pathetic! - Think on what I'm saying to you as you read

Dearly beloved, God wishes us well, God wants us to have a beautiful life and a beautiful future. But don't use Jeremiah 29 vs 11 to buttress that idea, because that's not what it speaks of. - Selah. The moment your faith is anchored on a false understanding (message, teaching), your expectation from that revelation will not materialize because you are believing for what that Bible text never said. - Think on this

Therefore beloved, are you one of such frustrated brethren I spoke of? Have your expectations from what you believed over the years failed, and you're about to give up on Christianity? My friend, calm down! Forgive all those who have wrongly taught you the scriptures, tell yourself that you will learn the truth and know what the Bible actually teaches. Now, go for Truth! Prayerfully ask God to guide and lead you to a sound teacher of the Bible. When you find him, stay with him. God is with you; be restored of your wasted years. Amen.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

THIS DIVINE HEALTH REALITY IN CHRIST

'Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.' - 1 Corinthians 12 vs 27

Greetings dearly beloved of God in Christ. Before I begin making explanations with our opening Bible passage, I'll like to reestablish to you an important foundational understanding of the Faith;

'...For we walk by faith, not by sight...' - 2 Corinthians 5 vs 7 {KJV}

Let me show it to you from the Amplified Bible translation for a clearer understanding of the context;

We regulate our lives by our conviction
We conduct ourselves by our belief
By trust we walk, not by sight or appearance

Waow! I believe that Bible passage is clear to you now. So it's very important that you have this understanding in your foundation, because the realities of the Gospel are only a reality in the realm of faith. Hence, it's only those who walk by faith (considering what the WORD says to be truth above the facts of natural appearances) that can handle/experience the realities of the Gospel as their natural realities. - Selah

Now, having established that, let's look at our opening Bible passage;

'Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.' - 1 Corinthians 12 vs 27 {KJV}

We as the Church in general (the entire gathering of the Believers) are the body of Christ. But as individuals, we are members of Christ body - just as one body part cannot be the entire human body, likewise one Believer cannot be the body of Christ. - Selah. This is why the Apostle Paul went further to explain to us that we are members in particular. Glory to God. Okay let's continue. So we as individuals are members of Christ's body.

Now the big question, Can any part of Christ's body be sick or afflicted? Evidently, the answer is No! If it therefore be true that no part of Christ's body can be sick, infirmed or afflicted, then that means that the Believer in Christ cannot be sick! What do I do with this revelation, I hold on to it! considering it as truth above the present physical condition of my body. I hold on to it till it forms my physical reality; I hold on to this Revelation until it becomes the physical experience of my body. - Think slowly on this

Dearly beloved, this that I have shared with you is true! This is a divine health reality we have in Christ. If it is true that we are members of Christ's body individually, then it therefore means that whatever cannot happen to Christ's body cannot happen to us. And you know what, it is true, we are members of Christ's body as the WORD has said. Hallelujah! Glory to God. Therefore it is your responsibility to hold on to the Truth regardless of your physical circumstances; that's what it means to walk by faith, regulating your life by your convictions and beliefs in the Gospel instead of by the sights and appearances of your physical senses. - Think about it

So dearly beloved, it does not matter what health challenge is trying your body right now, it's simply a lie, don't consider it! rather consider the Word, consider the revelation of Christ, consider the provision of divine health which has been revealed to you by the revelation of the Word even as I have shown you right now; hold on to this reality, keep confessing with your mouth thus;

"I am a member of Christ's body, therefore Christ's bodily experience is my experience, the perfect state of Christ's body is my very experience because I am a member of His body. If Christ cannot be sick, it's an automatic indication that I cannot be sick because I am a part of Christ's body."

Confess it and hold on to this belief so firmly till it becomes your physical bodily experience. Beloved the word of God works. I see you have a testimony of divine intervention in your body, even by this revelation revealed to you now by the Spirit of God. Amen.

God's grace is with your spirit. Amen.

HE LOVES YOU BEYOND YOUR FLAWS

'Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.' - Isaiah 1 vs 18

Looking at our opening Bible passage, we see amazing Grace! Those were the very words of God; He said, even if your sins be as red as crimson, come reason with Him! Waoww! Dearly beloved, irrespective of how dark your sins are, God doesn't mind having you around. Glory to God. But you see, men run away from God because of their sins: naturally, sin inputs in a man a lack of confidence to approach God; we saw that manifest in Adam in the Garden;

'And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.' - Genesis 3 vs 9 - 10 {KING JAMES VERSION}

I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself

They ran from the presence of God because they were naked. But did you notice that God who in His foreknowledge knew that man would disobey Him, didn't refrain Himself from them? Though they sinned yet He came to them! That shows us one nature of God's personality, God doesn't find fault!

'If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.' - James 1 vs 5 {KJV}

and upbraideth not

The word 'upbraideth not' as used in the above Bible verse means 'not fault finding'. God does not find fault! If many Believers knew this, they would rather have ran to God in their mess, they wouldn't have refrained their commitment to Him! - Selah

Dearly beloved, God wants you well! God wants you to be at rest! Though your sins be as red as scarlet and dark as crimson, yet God invites you to the throne of Grace; He wants to lavish upon you His mercy, He wants to pour upon you abundant Grace and help you. God is more willing to help you than you desire to be helped. He invites you today! If the one whom you offended doesn't mind loving you and helping you, then what's your problem? - Selah

'Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.' - Hebrews 4 vs 16 {KJV}

You see... again we are urged to come boldly before God! The statement "come boldly" already shows to us that there are tendencies for the comers to be scared and have unworthy feelings; but God says come boldly! He wants to help you! He wants to take away your guilt! He wants to take away your shame! He is supposed to be the offended, but how amazing that He yet loves inspite our offences. What a Father! Glory to God forevermore. Amen.

So therefore dearly beloved, be encouraged today and lifted in your heart to approach God, draw yourself close to Him, you have seen that He is good, He doesn't find fault, and though He is the offended, yet He invites you to His presence where He wants to lavish upon you immeasurable Grace and mercy. Take advantage of the goodness of God. Be lifted! Amen. God loves you beyond your flaws.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

SOME MUSINGS ON GOSPEL REALITIES

'And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.' - 1 John 4 vs 16 - 17 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Pay attention to the words I want to highlight to you from these Bible verses we have just read;

The love that God hath to us
Herein is our love made perfect
That we may have boldness

Now note that the word 'herein' as used in the verse 17 means 'in this'. So the verse 17 is a continuation of the verse 16. In the verse 17, the Apostle John went on to say "in this is our love made perfect". So the question is, In what? The answer is in the verse 16. In the verse 16, he spoke about the love that God has towards us. See it again;

'And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.' - 1 John 4 vs 16 {KJV}

You see... He was talking about the love that God has toward us. Then in the verse 17 He says, "herein is our love perfect". Meaning, in this, in the love that God has towards us, our love is perfect. Glory to God. He also added to say that we also have boldness in the day of judgment because of the love that God has towards us. Let's look at the verse 17 again;

'Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment...'

This means that the love of God towards us gives us boldness to stand before God. He says, in the love of God towards us our love is made perfect, that we may have boldness. That means one of the effects of God's love towards us which He manifested in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ, is to give us boldness to stand before Him. - Selah

'In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith she shall be called, The LORD our righteousness.' - Jeremiah 33 vs 16 {KJV}

The Prophets spoke about the justification by faith, how that the Christ will become the righteousness of those who believe in Him. And this have been fulfilled by the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. Hence the Apostle Paul says;

'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.' - Ephesians 2 vs 8 - 9 {KING JAMES VERSION}

By Grace are you saved
Not of works | not of yourself
It is the gift of God

Waow. Glory to God. So you see, your salvation is a gift from God. You didn't earn it, neither can you sustain it. How can you sustain what you couldn't purchase? - Think about it. Note that, the price needed to sustain Salvation in a Believer is the same price that purchased it. Therefore, if you couldn't purchase it, you cannot sustain it, because it's the same price. See this;

'Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?' - Galatians 3 vs 3 {KJV}

Seeing that the blood of Jesus birthed our Salvation, it takes the blood of Jesus to maintain and sustain it. That's what the Apostle Paul was communicating to the Galatia brethren. - Think about it. This is God's love lavishly poured out on us. Therefore beloved, in this (by the knowledge of God's love towards you) should your love for God be made perfect/solid, and you should have boldness to stand before God without any fear or guilt, because of His love towards you which you now know of. Christ's blood saved you, that same blood keeps you saved. Hence, you stand boldly upon that revelation and draw near to God. - Selah

'Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher f of our faith...' - Hebrews 12 vs 2 {KJV}

The word 'faith' as used in that verse speaks of 'Salvation'. So what the Apostle said is,

'Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our salvation.'

Meaning Salvation is given by JESUS, and Salvation is consummated by JESUS. Glory to God.

I trust God that you have received understanding, and you are lifted. Amen.

God is with you.

THE BEAUTY OF GRACE

'Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.' - Romans 8 vs 33

A Christian might find it easy to trust the word of Grace over little situations, mild offences, and faint errors; but his heart may not be firm enough to trust that same Word when the offence is grave; hence, though he has the knowledge of justification in Christ, yet he suffers a heavy heart. - Selah

Beloved, you can trust the Grace of God in big offences as much as you can trust It in small offences - the same effect of forgiveness, the same effect of mercy, the same effect of Peace, in the Believer.

So if a Believer commits a grave offence, he can trust the word of Grace as much as he trusts It in little offence. The word of God's grace is not changing; justification in Christ is not conditioned for small offences only - we have been justified from all sins;

'And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.' - Acts 13 vs 39 {KJV}

justified from all things

Dearly beloved, you can trust the grace of God irrespective of the accusations and disputings of words going on in your heart right now; you can believe the word of Grace spoken about our justification in Christ, and believe that God did not impute your sin on you, irrespective of how grave it is;

'Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.' - Romans 4 vs 8 {KJV}

The believer in Christ is that blessed man, God will never impute our sins on us (irrespective of the graveness), because He already informed us in His word that He is the one that has justified us from all sin;

'Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?]
Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?' - Romans 8 vs 33 - 34 {AMPLIFIED BIBLE TRANSLATION}

Take note of what I'm about to highlight to you from the above Bible passages;

Who is there to condemn us?
Is it Christ who died for us?
Is it Christ who is actually pleading in intercession for us?

It's clear now! Christ who died for us, who is pleading in intercession for us to the FATHER cannot be the one to condemn us. Glory to God! That's the message the Apostle Paul communicated in the above Bible passages. You see... so you can trust the grace of God in any situation because you have come to understand that Christ will never condemn you neither will He accuse you of a wrong done. Don't forget Romans 4 vs 8;

'Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.'

Okay.

'And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.' - Acts 13 vs 39 {KJV}

justified from all things

So you see dearly beloved, the beauty of Grace is that you can trust the word of Grace in big offences as much as you can trust It in small offences; it's the same effect of forgiveness, the same effect of mercy, and the same effect of Peace, in the Believer.

Receive hope and strength dearly beloved for your weary heart, God loves you and He wants you at rest. Amen.

God's grace is with your spirit.

DON'T CALL SIN A MISTAKE

'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1 vs 9

Through out the Bible, there is no place where sin is referred to as a mistake, not even the least weighted sin. - Selah

We are in a time where people call their sin "mistake". So you hear things like "I made a mistake". Such description of sin is hazardous to the man, as it will hinder that man from receiving/experiencing the grace of God. Let's look at our opening Bible verse;

'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1 vs 9 {KJV}

The word 'confess' as used in the verse is derived from the Greek word 'homologeō', and it means "to acknowledge". So the verse states,

'If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1 vs 9 {KJV}

We are to acknowledge sins, not mistakes
God is faithful to forgive us our sins, not our mistakes

When you call sin a mistake, you have not acknowledged that you have sinned. According to the English dictionary, 'mistake' means, "To commit an unintentional error". So when you call sin a mistake, you are not admitting fully that have sinned; after all, you didn't intentionally do it, and it was not your fault. With such perception, you will never receive healing for your heavy heart, because God heals a heart that is burdened because of sin, not a heart burdened because of mistakes. - Think about it. When you say you sinned, you are fully admitting that you have done what is wrong. To fully admit is to acknowledge without excuses.

'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1 vs 9 {KJV}

IF WE CONFESS OUR SINS

That word 'confess' as used there has two (2) similar root words in the Greek. The first which is homologeō, and the second is exomologeō. Exomologeō means to "agree fully". Saying you made a mistake doesn't show full agreement and acknowledgement of wrong done. My friend, call sin sin; be that sincere with God - it's all together for your good. - Think about it

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: THE WAY OF PEACE

Many people are stuck in pain and heaviness as a result of a sin, an error or rather an ungodly act, and they don't know how to get out from that painful place they've found themselves in. They've asked God for forgiveness, many have wept, yet the pain is still there, they are still uneasy inside them, in their hearts, in their minds. What is the way out of this? Okay.

Let's see Leviticus 26 vs 40 - 42;

'If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.' - {KING JAMES VERSION}

Waow. Please take note that there's something I want you to take note of in these Passages that we are reading, and that thing is the concept of Acknowledgement. Now let's revisit our opening Bible Passage;

'If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' - 1 John 1 vs 9 {KJV}

The word "and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" as used in this passage speaks of a thorough purging (flushing out) away of our wrongs, thereby leaving us 'not guilty'. - Selah. A man is only said to be guilty when he is found with offence. But when he is without offence, he cannot be said to be guilty of offence. - Selah

Dearly beloved, the Word which the Spirit of God is sending out to you right now is that you make a sincere acknowledgement that you have done that wrong. There are two things highlighted to us in these Bible passages we have read that we must acknowledge to, they are;

That we have sinned indeed {1 John 1 vs 9 - Our opening Bible Passage}
We deserve the punishment of our sin (which includes the pain and heaviness that ravages our hearts - Leviticus 26 vs 41 where we read)

You see that... When you acknowledge to these things, you open up your heart to hear the voice of Grace from the Spirit of the Lord.

'Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.' - Romans 8 vs 33 {KJV}

Not even God will hold you guilty of any offence whatsoever. Note that He made use of the word "any thing". That tells us that we have been declared 'not guilty' in Christ from every of our sins, errors, wrongs and offences whatsoever. You see, when you acknowledge that you have sinned and you deserve the corresponding effects and punishment, you give room for Grace to be your strength and your standing. So the reason God requires our acknowledgement of our sins is so that His grace can become our strength, so that we can properly behold the Saviour for help, of which for that purpose He came that all men may look to Him for Salvation, Peace, and Rest for their souls. Amen. - Selah

Therefore dearly beloved, you have clearly seen from these explanations that the promise of forgiveness, peace and healing, is for those who make a sincere and full acknowledgement that they sinned. Therefore, cease to call a sin a mistake! they are not the same things. The moment you call a sin a mistake, you defeat the very reason why you should be forgiven. When you say you made a mistake, you are actually saying that though you are human, you can do better, and if all the conditions were right, you couldn't have made that error. This is an expression of pride and human ego. But when you say you sinned, you acknowledge that indeed you are human and need God's help. It's the man that acknowledges that he needs God's help that gets it. But when you say you made a mistake, you don't actually acknowledge that you need God's help; but rather you are saying you will get it right next time. - Think deeply on these words

I ask God to grant you understanding of this truth that I have preached to you. Amen.

God's grace is with your spirit.

JESUS: THAT ONE MAN YOU CAN RELATE WITH

'And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?' - Mark 2 vs 16 {KJV}

'And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.' - Luke 19 vs 5 - 7 {KING JAMES VERSION}

'And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,

And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.

Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.' - Luke 7 vs 36 - 39 {KING JAMES VERSION}

'For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.' - Matthew 11 vs 18 - 19 {KING JAMES VERSION}

They grumbled saying, why does your Master eat with sinners
He went to Zacchaeus' house
The prostitute came to Him
He associated with the publicans (tax collectors) who the people hated because of their fraudulent extortion from them
He drank wine with sinners

Beloved, the Lord Jesus is your go to person, He knows exactly your struggles and weaknesses, He has a perfect understanding of your humanity. Don't run from Him anymore because of your sins; He wants to be involved in your life, let Him in! Zacchaeus' fraudulent business didn't stop Him from having a meal with Zacchaeus and spending the night in his house - though the people murmured and complained about that, Jesus didn't care. This Jesus, you need Him! I tell you, you really want to know Him. Let Him into your life, there's no judgment nor condemnation in His person.

Think on these words.

God is with you.

In Christ we have the forgiveness of sins

Thou will keep him in perfect peace

He went ahead and gave the condition for this to be, He says,

MIND DRIFTS WHEN PRAYING ADDRESSED - PT.2

'For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.' - 1 Corinthians 14 vs 1

Greetings dearly beloved of God in Christ. If you have not read the first part of this teaching, you will not know where this teaching is coming from, and hence, you will not have a wholistic understanding of the teaching generally. So I advice that you proceed immediately to the first part of this teaching and read, and understand; then come back here and continue learning on this subject. Click here to read the first part of this teaching.

Okay. So having read the first part of this teaching, we have being able to see how to bring our minds to focus when we pray. Now, why is it important that our minds are focused when we pray?

That's an expression of commitment to the prayer.
By being focused in mind when you pray, you show reverence to the One you're praying to. Imagine talking to the president of your nation, and at the same time replying a whatsapp message! That would be unacceptable! You wouldn't even dare it.
You are quick to sense the things that the Spirit of God is bringing into your understanding. Your receptiveness to God is switched on when your mind is at a state of focus when you pray.

So you see, these are the benefits of being focused in your mind when you pray. Nevertheless, the Spirit of God wants you to know that, even when your mind is distracted with thoughts as you pray, God is still hearing you. Let's take a look at our opening Bible passage;

'For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.' - 1 Corinthians 14 vs 1 {KJV}

He that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks to God

This is very key! Remember, God's word is final authority! - Selah. The Bible tells us clearly that when we speak in tongues, we speak to God. The distractions of our minds cannot change this! Never! You may be speaking in tongues and at the same time thinking about a project you are planning of executing, and at the same time, you're thinking about your children's school fee, and at the same time you're thinking of your girl friend that left you; whatsoever the distraction in your mind may be as you speak in tongues, it does not change the truth that you are speaking to God. So long as you were still speaking in tongues (though your mind was lost in other thoughts), you were speaking to God. This is truth and fact, because the Bible said so. - Think about it

He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh unto God - meaning, so long as you continue to speak in tongues, the distractions happening in your mind cannot deny the fact that you are yet speaking to God. Why is the Spirit of God telling you this at this time? it's so that you will not loose confidence in your prayer because of the many distractions that happened to you (in your mind) while you prayed. satan is crafty! he can introduce doubt into your mind from that happening, whereby you might begin to feel you wasted your time in that prayer because of the many unholy and ungodly thoughts your had up playing in your mind while you were praying, which can make you loose faith in your prayer; and the moment doubt sets in, answers are aborted. - Selah

'But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.' - James 1 vs 6 - 7 {KING JAMES VERSION}

Nothing wavering
Let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord

We can clearly see that to waver (to doubt) after you have prayed is to not receive any thing of the Lord.

Therefore dearly beloved, stand fast upon the truth, stand strong upon the the written word! When you speak in tongues, you speak to God! While it is excellent and proper to have your mind with you when you pray, nevertheless, so long as you are speaking in tongues, nothing is hindering those words from entering God's ears! Not even the distractions in your mind. The Bible says, He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh unto God. If you ever spoke in tongues, God heard you. Put your faith on this truth! Be in peace. Amen.

God is with you.
