UNDER WHOSE CONTROL?

Text : 2 Peter 2:19

 *"...For you are a slave to whatever controls YOU"* (NLT)

The word "freedom" is a relative term. When you are free from one thing, you are held by another. If you are free from God's control, then you are under the control of the devil.* And to be free from devil's control, is to be under the control of God.

The challenge with many believers today is that, they want to eat their cake and still have it. They want to be free from the devil's control and still be free from the Lordship of Christ. 

Having given your life to Christ, you must see to it that every grip of the devil, sin and the world are off your life. You can only achieve this through continuance submission to the Lordship of Christ.

When you see a person who likes to do whatever that is pleasing to him or her, and such person is fond of saying; I am a free thinker. Just know that such a person is fully under the control of the devil.

No single man on earth today is free; you are either under the grip of the devil or under the Fatherhood and Leadership of God.

Jesus, in Mathew 11:28-30 is calling you out from labour and heavy laden into His rest. And to come into His rest, you must take up His own yoke as well. 

There is no possibility of you being in control of your life in anyway. It is either you allow God take control of your life, or the devil will take over. 

There is no middle ground, there is no sitting on the fence, you must daily decide; under whose control am I going to stay- God or  devil?


Bible reading: Matthew 21:1-7.


PRAYER FOCUS


1.) Father God, I submit my whole life under the Lordship of 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...
