LAWLESSNESS

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. 

 *One thing the devil wants to achieve in man is lawlessness, because he is a lawless being.* 

Man was not created to be lawless. From the very beginning, God gave man instructions as to how to live (Genesis 2:15-17).

After the fall of man, God in His infinite mercy, gave His children (through His servant, Moses) laws to guide and lead them through the path of righteousness. 

However, because of man's weakness by reason of the flesh, he couldn't truly obey the laws of God. This is why Romans 8:3 & 4 says: For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

So, it's clear that the reason God sent His son is so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.

It's also clear that there is a righteousness that the law aims to achieve. And man could not attain to this height because of his fallen nature.

Again, God in His infinite mercy came to man's rescue by sending His son, Jesus Christ to show and enable man to live unto righteousness in the days of his flesh.

John 1:17 says *For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.* Jesus came with Grace for man, so that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in man.

The grace of God will help you to fulfil the righteousness of the law and never will it make you to be lawless. 

The Grace of God is given to make you live above sin and never to be lawless. *A true Christian desires to be free from sin and not to sin freely under the disguise of Grace.* 

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...

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...
