OPERATIONAL SPIRIT


 
Text: Ephesians 2:1-2

 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;* 
 *Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

 *When you think of where and what Christ had saved you from, your heart should be eternally grateful to Him.* 

Before you received Christ into your life, you were dead in trespasses and sins. You were a dead man, the only world you were alive to was the world of trespasses and sins.

Have you ever wondered why some people are completely dull snd unresponsive when it comes to spiritual matters, well, it's because they are dead. Anyone who is not in Christ is a living corpse. He's a dead man working and walking. 

So one great thing God did for us is that He quickened us from the dead so we can be alive to walk away from dead works, From the spirit that is operating in this world. 

The first thing a mad man will say the moment he gained his sanity is, 'where am I?' 'Why am I dressed like this?' And so on. So the first thing the new birth in Christ Jesus did for us is to open our eyes to our sorry state and to position us to receive help.

If you have been quickened from the dead, you really need to be greatful to God for the gift of salvation. And you must cooperate with the Holy Spirit to walk away from dead works so you can start bearing the fruit of the Spirit. 

If you have not been quickened,  you can ask God to open your eyes to see your true state in the Spirit and invite Him into your life to give you a fresh new start.

Ephesians 2:1-10.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father Lord, I receive the grace to see my true estate in the Spirit and make necessary adjustments in 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...
