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.


 *BIBLE READING* : 

1 Corinthians 6:10-11.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

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

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...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
