LAWLESSNESS-2

Text :  Romans 8:2. 

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Everyone is operating under one law or the other. Ignorance of the law is no excuse anywhere, so be informed.

Essentially, man is a spirit-being, and we know that the spiritual rules the physical. So, basically, everyone is operating under either of these two spiritial laws:

1.) The law of the Spirit of life.

2.) The law of sin and death. 

This is well stipulated in Romans 8:2, _For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death._ 

Everyone who is not born again is operating under the law of sin and death. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. 
The "all" in this verse means every human being. When Adam, our first Parent fell, all of humanity fell.

The power of sin was enacted in man the moment Adam disobeyed. By reason of this disobedience, death started reigning over man.

Romans 6:23 says *For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sin will always lead to death, but glory to God that this verse didn't just tell us what sin can do,  but it showed us the way of escape. 

The gift of God is enormous. He knows man can't afford it, so He made it a gift, the gift of eternal life. Now, you can only access this gift through Jesus Christ. 

The moment you are born again, you transitioned from the law of sin and death to the law of life which only Jesus gives. Romans 8:2.

Now, a Christian will be doing himself a huge disservice if after coming to Christ, you are still living by the law of sin and death. 

Along with the law of the Spirit of life, comes the grace to live above sin. Open your heart to receive the grace to live an overcoming life.

Bible  Reading: Romans 8:1-39.

PRAYER FOCUS

1.) Father God, I receive the grace to live above sin and to deny all ungodliness.

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
