Frame your year

Frame your year. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.” John 1:1-3 It is evident from our opening scripture that the Word of God has God's creative ability in it. Therefore as you are about to enter into a new year, enter the year with this understanding that God's creative ability is in you because Christ who is the Word of God made flesh, according to John 1:14, is in you....

The righteousness of God

The righteousness of God. “For all have done wrong and are far from the glory of God; And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus: Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment; And to make clear his righteousness now, so that he might himself be upright, and give righteousness to him who has faith in Jesus.” Romans 3:23-26(BBE) One...

Jesus made us righteous

Jesus 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 5:21 Jesus came to give us righteousness. What is righteousness? Righteousness is the right and the rightness of being to stand in the presence of God without guilt, inferiority or condemnation. The Bible says in our opening scripture that Jesus was made sin for us. Where? On the cross! He was our sin offering because God laid all our sins on Him. Therefore His death became the payment...

We have delegated authority.  “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”   Mark 16:17-18 We have divine immunity in the Name of Jesus. The authority of Jesus has been delegated to every one of us that believe in His Name. For He said in our opening scripture, “… In my name shall they cast out devils …” Through...

The devil is incapacitated

The devil is incapacitated. “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.” Hebrews 2:14-15 Jesus came to destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. The devil's greatest weapon is death and all fear is rooted in the fear of death. Therefore, for Jesus to be able to break the power...

The Rebirth

The Rebirth. “Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new creation; the old [things] passed away, look!, all [things] have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17(ALT) Our opening scripture shows us the revelation of the New Birth. It is the actual rebirth of the human spirit. We become new creatures without a past, because the old has passed away and all things have become new. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” So, being...

He destroyed satan's works.

He destroyed satan's works. “… For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 One of the reasons Jesus came was to destroy the works of the devil. The word destroy in our opening scripture means to undo. This means that Jesus came to undo the works of satan. The word destroy also means to loose. This means that Jesus came to break off the hold of satan from us. Acts 10:38 says, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good,...

You have life and light in Christ

You have life and light in Christ. “To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18 At the new birth when you get born again, is when your spiritual eyes are open. That is when the life of God that enlightens a man's spirit comes in. The Lord Jesus said in John 9:39, “…For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see …” When you begin...

He saved us from sin.

He saved us from sin. “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21 The name Jesus means Saviour in the Greek translation. In the Hebrew, Jesus means Jehovah is Saviour. That is why to get born again, according to Romans 10:9, you would have to confess that Jesus is Lord. The next thing we see in our opening scripture is the first reason why Jesus came; He came to save us from our sins. There is no way any man can be saved from sin apart from Jesus. Jesus is...

You are a new creation

You are a new creation. “So then, from now on we do not think of anyone from a human point of view. Even if we did think of Christ from a human point of view, we don't think of him that way any more.” 2 Corinthians 5:16(ISV) Brothers and sisters in Christ, it is high time we stopped judging ourselves according to our natural birth or surrounding circumstances. Jesus said in John 15:19, “… ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world…” 2 Corinthians 5:17-18a (ALT) say, “Therefore, if anyone [is] in Christ, [he is] a new...

Go for knowledge

Go for knowledge. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge …” Hosea 4:6 Ignorance is weakness. Knowledge is strength. The Bible also says in Proverbs 24:5, “A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.” There is a strength that is imparted into you when you have knowledge. That strength is called confidence this confidence produces in you a firm assurance or conviction in these truths that have been revealed to you from the word of God. This is important because we can...
