WHOSE IMAGE? 2

Text : Matthew 22:21

*They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.* 

Today, we shall be looking at the things that are God's which you must give back to Him. You must know that God is not interested in the things of Caesar. The things of Caesar will perish and fade away with this world.

The things of God are those things that transcends this age. They are eternal. Every man on earth has the things of God in him. God has created every man in His image and likeness. Gen. 1:26. One of His things in man is the soul which was once made a living soul through God's breath of life. 
_And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul._ Genesis 2:7.

Man lost God's life when he fell in the garden, the living soul died and man  was alienated from God. The soul which was once living can no longer respond to God. Devil stole, destroyed and killed man to the point that  every imagination of of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually. Gen. 6:5.

Your soul and the things(Mind, Emotion and Will) contained therein belong to God. God therefore would have you render all of your soul to Him. Praise God! You have been quickened by simply believing and  confessing Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. (Rom. 10:9-10), but God still wants to own the whole of your soul content. He wants your Mind to be totally transformed. Rom. 12:2, *He wants your Will to do His Will and your Emotion to express His heart's desire continually.* 

To know that you are yet to give God all the things that are His; check how quick you are willing to respond to His instructions, Check the expressions of your emotions towards God, check your reasoning. Have you submitted ALL to God? Are they in alignment to God? Are they serving God or serving the devil?

Until the whole of your soul become purged by experiencing the quickening that takes place in your spirit at salvation, you will not be able to give to God the things that are His.
  *Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with _all_ thy heart, and with _all_ thy soul, and with _all_ thy mind.* Matthew  22:37.

 *God wants ALL of You so you can get ALL of Him.* 



Bible Reading: Genesis 1:26-31.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord, I committ and offer my life to you afresh, cause me to rediscover the likeness and image I was created in through Christ Jesus.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  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. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
