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...

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
