NO LONGER IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS-2


Text :1 Corinthians  6:9-10

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.* 


The scripture made it very clear that you once operated in the capacity of one  or many of the above description before. *But you were washed, you were sanctified, and you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.* 

The Lord did three things for you the moment you confessed Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

 *Firstly, you were washed.*  For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; (Titus 3:3-5).
 
It is clear from the above scriptures that God's kindness and love appeared to you not by your works of righteousness which you have done but by His mercy, *you were saved by the washing of new birth and renewing of the Holy Ghost.* 

 *Secondly, you were sanctified.*  The Lord saved, and brought us to himself by separating us from this world and it's lusts. He continues to sanctify us by His truth according to Jesus' prayer. *Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.(John 17:17)* 

 *Thirdly, you were justified.* The Lord made you right with Himself through the offering of Jesus Christ. By this you were brought into peace with God. 
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,(Romans 5:1).

 In view of your washing, sanctification and justification, you are no longer indebted to the flesh.  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.(Romans 8:12). 

Also, by your washing, sanctification and justification, you have been crucified to the world, and vice versa.
"...God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world".(Galatians 6:14)


As a child of God, you must continually live in the liberty that God has brought you theough Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 6:10-11.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father God, please, help me to continually walk in the newness of life in Jesus name.

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...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
