HE’S ALIVE – HE’S RISEN – HE’S ENTHRONED: HE’S OUR PASSOVER LAMB!
 
“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55.
 
The sting of Death couldn’t hold Him down – let’s celebrate and commemorate Him – for our REDEMPTION is done.
 
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
Blessed Sunday!
Blessed Resurrection!!
Blessed PASSOVER!!!
 
HE’S RISEN, HE’S ALIVE, HE’S ENTHRONED!
 
“. . . HE IS NOT HERE: FOR HE IS RISEN, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD . . .” Matthew 28:5-8.
 
The stone of bondage has been rolled away. LOVE HAS TRIUMPHED OVER DEATH. GRACE has TRIUMPHED over the CURSE of the LAW and the CURSE of the FALL that has kept man in BONDAGE.
Let’s Celebrate and Commemorate Him. We’ve pass from death unto life in Christ Jesus – now free to live and live, and never to live and die in sin again. Hallelujah.
 
“For He hath MADE him to be SIN FOR US, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
 
THANK YOU JESUS – FOR IN YOU – WE HAVE DOMINION IN REDEMPTION.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 AND THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; AND MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE, 53 AND CAME OUT OF THE GRAVES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, AND WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God” Matthew 27:50-54.
 
“. . . 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. 55 O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY? 56 THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN; AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW. 57 But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH US THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.
 
“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
 
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED US to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN TO US the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be SIN FOR US, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

HE’S RISEN – HE’S ALIVE: HE’S OUR PASSOVER UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS FROM SIN AND IT’S EFFECT – POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH!
 
“. . . He is not here: FOR HE IS RISEN, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD . . .” Matthew 28:5-8.
HAPPY & BLESSED SUNDAY!
HAPPY & BLESSED RESURRECTION!!
HAPPY & BLESSED PASSOVER!!!
HE’S RISEN, HE’S ALIVE FOREVER MORE
 
The stone of bondage has been rolled away. LOVE HAS TRIUMPHED! VICTORY IS WON!!
 
Let’s CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE Him. We’ve pass from DEATH unto LIFE in Christ Jesus, never to live and die in sin again.
 
THANK YOU JESUS FOR SUCH AN AMAZING LOVE.
 
The Risen Christ – He’s Our Salvation – And by Him our Relationship and Fellowship are now RESTORED back to God. We can live and do life now with a purpose and for a cause, having fulfilment. Hallelujah.
 
“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12.
 
“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who GAVE HIMSELF A RANSOM FOR ALL, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:5-6.
 
Our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus is not just risen and alive, He’s the resurrection Himself. And when the resurrection Spirit of His dwells in you, it makes all the difference. That’s what makes this commemoration awesome and worth celebration indeed. What about you?
 
Herein are two reasons why you MUST go to a local Church this morning to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the risen Christ, who is Saviour and Lord:
 
* Our Sin FORGIVEN, we are JUSTIFIED, ACQUITTED AND RECEIVED – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh.
 
* Our Access GUARANTEED – means Our rights and privileges to FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God is restored. No more middle failing man or things any more.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, CHRIST DIED FOR US” Romans 5:1-2, 5, 8.
 
It’s my earnest prayers that you will take advantage of this celebration and commemoration of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, to enact your IDENTIFICATION in the grace toward His crucifixion and death, burial and resurrection, ascension and enthronement, as you do life and live godly in Him.
Wishing you a happy and blessed REDEMPTION.

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: IT’S By RESPONDING AND NOT BY REACTING!

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
 
You are RESPONSIBLE to what you BECOME by what you do with what had happened or is happening to you in life day by day. You can either allow your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus stead to be the stand you take, before you do anything, and in RESPONDING to matters as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, or you can go about and be REACTING – complaining, blaming, nagging and such like, thereby walking away from your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, that gives you the enabling to have leverage in an onward and upward trajectory over your challenges and difficulties irrespective of the source and cause.
 
KNOW FOR CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RESPONDING MUST BE BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND MORE – OTHERWISE YOU ARE REACTING AND GOD’S WORD BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR YOU IN THAT CONTEXT.
 
Sometimes, it may be true and/or a fact that somebody brought you down to the ditch or valley that you are going through right now – and may be to have use you for their own selfish gains or otherwise to hurt and harm your own progress – but you must know for sure, that you are always the one that’s RESPONSIBLE to rise above your circumstances, otherwise you will keep yourself in a REACTING and REACTION Mode and mood by MOANING and COMPLAINING and NAGGING and even hurting yourself for nothing – over and over – there and again – about the event with no scriptural progress instead standstill and regrets. And unfortunately, while at the same time of standstill and regrets, there’s there the lavished opportunity to be an overcomer, triumphant, victorious and a more than conqueror and such like, that’s embedded in your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION awaiting you there to turn the bad to good, to turn the mess to a message and to turn the test to testimony and to turn the failure to success.
 
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
 
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH , but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. For then YOU will make your way PROSPEROUS , and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8/NKJV.
 
You can make great DIFFERENCE in yourself, when you chose to RISE UP RESPONSIBLY above your circumstances in grace. RESPONDING to life matters by your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION instead of REACTING, is the lifeline to DEMONSTRATE and MAKE your DISTRACTOR wrong; also in BECOMING an ACHIEVER in and through the MIDST of any situation that brought or kept you low previously. I know what I am saying and I pray you get it rights too.
 
YOU CAN – RESPOND TO GROW FLOWERS OTHERWISE REACT TO GROW WEEDS – IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE AND CALL.
 
You may not be able to control your opponents ATTITUDES and the challenges and difficult circumstances about you, but you are RESPONSIBLE by your ATTITUDES that defines your ALTITUDE on how you can do life with your DOMINON rights and privileges in REDEMPTION; especially toward all the MATTERS confronting you without loosing a sleep or sweating but in essence achieving greatness with God, by His word, in your steadfast stand in Christ Jesus stead, in an effortless condition of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS toward your circumstances.
 
If you MUST live in DOMINION, I say again, if you MUST live through DOMINION in REDEMPTION, you must be prepared to RESPOND in grace rather than REACT to the circumstances that befalls you daily by the fleshly DEMANDS. Give no OXYGEN to the ENEMY and COHORTS and the circumstances demands. Your realm in REDEMPTION is a mystery to all and I hope and pray you know it for yourself without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION.
 
The state of RESPONDING to any level of MATTERS under the sun by your Dominon rights and privileges in REDEMPTION – makes you mature, wise and CALCULATING – just as an Eagle to the prey, and over the ENEMY and Cohorts – to ensure you take your circumstances unaware of your new you, in a grand style while SOARING IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION; while by REACTING, it makes you cheap, unwise and vulnerable to your circumstances, and to the enemy and cohorts or opponent’s intent to make you their PREY and their VICTIM, which is not good for you when you’ve OUGHT not to be.
 
Lets learn from our Lord Jesus grand STYLE WISDOM that brought the devil and cohorts down for our DOMINON IN REDEMPTION – as our Father God have offered us His graciousness and endowed and endued us lavishly with the Holy Spirit of promise in Christ Jesus – thereby enabling us to live and walk fully in life and godliness UNRESERVEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNCOMPROMISINGLY.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are PERFECT [MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY , even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE of the PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED [LAVISHED] out within our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN [ENDOWED, ENDUED] to us” Romans 5:5.
RESPONDING IS A MAJOR ACT TO WINNING WAYS IN LIFE – NOT BY REACTING TO PROVE A POINT. AND RESPONDING IS BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND NOTHING MORE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more DOMINION over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:8-14.
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the WORKS of thy hands; thou hast put all things UNDER his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.

“But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31
“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the POWER of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they OVERCAME him by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD of their TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14.

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2025: THE MONTH OF “ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS!”

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE of them can by any means REDEEM His brother, nor GIVE to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption” Psalms 49:6-9.
 
Month APRIL 2025 is the month of the Celebration and Commemoration, of the essence of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus – in Crucifixion and Death, Burial and Resurrection, Ascension and Enthronement – for our wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, by God, as we do LIFE and LIVE GODLY in Him.
 
There’s the need to the possessing of our possession in REDEMPTION. This is by APPROPRIATING ENACTING our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which is already a DONE DEED. For we can’t be expecting to have a wishy-washy all in our by and by, on a baseless foundation outside our redemption in Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17)]. For in Christ Jesus, we’ve been endowed and endued with all things that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS for our today and tomorrow. Therefore, take advantage of this Month theme and lay a foundation that’s laid on Christ Jesus who’s our redemption sent of God to redeemed us in His grace. Then you can be scripturally assured to ensure, of all things that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead as these scriptures highlights for illuminations.
 
“. . . 11 For other FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.
 
“He sent REDEMPTION unto His people: He hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name” Psalms 111:9.
 
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED His people . . .” Luke 1:68-75.
“But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord”                                                       
“”. . . 2 GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him that hath CALLED US to GLORY and VIRTUE . . .” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
 
Therefore, to ensure and be assured of your enabling to ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS, as the hallmark of our foundation in the grace, we need to know and understand these basic principles though not limited to the possibility.
 
These principles are:
You can never POSSESS what you are UNWILLING to PURSUE and ENACT by faith in the GRACE in Redemption.
 
The KINGDOM will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to PLACE a DEMAND upon in REDEMPTION. Where there’s NO ACTS to DEMAND, there’s NO tangible POSSESSION, otherwise one is reduced to the common [general] possessions.
 
KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION rights and privileges gives you access to enact and enjoy your wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.
 
I PRAY you will see yourself in the tangibility and reality of the word in ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.
 
“He sent REDEMPTION unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name” Psalms 111:9.
 
“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED His people, 69 and hath RAISED up an horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant David; 70 as He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which He sware to our father Abraham, 74 that He would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our enemies might SERVE him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” Luke 1:68-75.
 
“Just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 7 Therefore know that only those who ARE of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by faith, PREACHED the GOSPEL to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who ARE of faith are BLESSED with believing Abraham . . . 13 Christ has REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you ARE all sons of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER slave nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female; for you ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you ARE Christ’s, then you ARE Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29/NKJV.
 
“In whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the RICHES of his GRACE; 8 wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence” Ephesians 1:7-8.
 
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His BLOOD, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
 
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took PART of the same; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER OF DEATH, that is, the DEVIL; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.
 
“Seeing then that we have a great HIGH PRIEST, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find GRACE to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.
 
“But Christ being come an HIGH PRIEST of good things to come, by a GREATER and MORE PERFECT tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the MEDIATOR of the NEW TESTAMENT, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL INHERITANCE. 16 For where a TESTAMENT is, there must also of NECESSITY be the DEATH of the TESTATOR” Hebrews 9:11-16.
 
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 FOR HE HAD POSSESSION OF FLOCKS, AND POSSESSION OF HERDS, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth” Genesis 26:13-14.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [a]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] POSSESSION [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14.
 
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: AND IT’S AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!
 
“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.
 
LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both have, give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted and characterised are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. [1 Peter 1:19; Acts 24:16; Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].
 
And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.
 
“WHO shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that NEITHER death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is IN Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.
 
I want to emphasise emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost – and it wasn’t just an a mere GIVEN. It’s not cheap and it’s out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His LIFE at the CROSS of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.
 
“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . 8 But God COMMENDETH His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.
 
And this matter of His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE – the AGAPE love, is unconditional, principle, non sentimental, transcending, superseding, surpassing and it’s scriptural. And in the context of LOVE, God loves us; and this He expressed and authenticate by giving us His only Beloved Son – the first begotten from the dead – and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN; and He expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. [Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6].
 
Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. [1 Timothy 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].
 
And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fulness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. [Romans 8:31-39].
 
May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and CONTRAIN to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. [Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21).
 
To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as it’s demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. [1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6].
 
Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.
 
It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.
May God found you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD – THAT’S NOT NEW: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN DEATH – IT’S INEVITABLE!

“For I AM the Lord, I CHANGE not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” Malachi 3:6

Some people thinks that BELIEVING in God and or not BELIEVING in God and or being doubtful if there’s God, will change the person of the sovereignty of God. Sorry my friend, that will not at all happen, if that’s your position – and it makes no difference at all about the sovereignty of God – for He CHANGES not and there’s no CONTROVERSY about Him, by what you hold or claims to hold about Him before or now.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Some others think it is their place to be emboldened and to make it known and loud, on why not to BELIEVE in God; and to question if there’s a God besides what they think as freelance thinker or atheists shows stupidity and fooolishness as it’s written:

” The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is NO God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” Psalms 14:1.

And to imagine if the called God can make you unique, exclusive, important and APPLAUDED and HYPE for whatsoever reason in your assumptions or conclusions shows pure ignorance and delusional in context because it’s deadly to position yourself to be something that you are not and will never be.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.

And if you don’t FEAR God, I have these scriptural news for you to read in order to be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, if such is your case because you aren’t the first to think or imagine otherwise about God – Luke 8:1-8 Acts 17.

Unfortunately for many in their ignorance, one thing that is a certainty for all the living creation – RICH or POOR – there’s a life span for all under the sun. And this is irrespective of how morally good in your own ways you are outside God’s planned REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead are; or on how wealthy or poor you might have ascertained in status and position and or have acquired the laid up blocks of being mighty, great and successful in life in humanity. There’s an end point of life span at the undated end road, in which your BELIEVE or UNBELIEVE of God will matter then; and at that point, a mere oxygen or wealth or attained status or acquired success can’t keep any alive, and then is your an ANSWER to the giver of eternal spirit and breath that’s in all human beings – which is in eternity, the breath of God in all – (Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Amplified; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27; Genesis 2:7).

The Holy Scripture of Luke 18:1-8 portrays in verses 2 and 4 of a JUDGE, who BELIEVE not in God and have no regards and sense of humanity in him for his fellow human being. How much bad could somebody status be in life. So it’s not knew to not BELIEVE in God; much more to disregards others around you because of your class, status, position and acquisitions in life.

However, HEREIN are some reasons to PAUSE and THINK about your UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING position toward God:

** In the Holy Writ of Luke 16:13-31, there is a living story of a RICH PERSON and POOR PERSON. The RICH man felt all he has attained what will buy him access to God. He NEVER believe death can even get to his doorsteps. As written in verse 21, the RICH man died just as the POOR man called Lazarus died. Remembering Lazarus was daily begging for help at his gate, without his consideration on care on this poor beggar. Unfortunately for the RICH man he became a beggar at death and his wealth and status never followed him.

** A YOUNG rich man was considered to be a foolish rich man in the Holy Writ of Luke 12:13-21. He thought by His acquisition in life he could even buy death. His pride killed him, simply for His disbelieve of being rich toward God.

** The Holy Writ of Acts 12:18-23 gives the most profound of being foolish and ignorance of God. This was exhibited by King Herod whom the scriptures described as one that was very wicked and enjoys the ovation and applaud of men – acclaimed as being God himself. When his breath of life was taken away from him by eternal God he despised, then he knows who actually is God and that there’s God.

I pray you found yourself before God gets hold of you in an awkward position when it’s difficult to bend and reverse the clock of your time while your life breath is still here on earth – Hebrews 9:27.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that WISE men die, likewise the FOOL and the BRUTISH person perish, and leave their WEALTH to others. 11 Their inward THOUGHT is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.  14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in HONOUR, and UNDERSTANDETH not, is like the beasts that perish” Psalms 49:13-20.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . He is NOT here: FOR HE IS RISEN, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD . . .” Matthew 28:5-8.

“Purge out therefore the OLD leaven, that ye may be a NEW lump, as ye ARE unleavened. For even CHRIST OUR PASSOVER is SACRIFICED for us: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:7-8.

“And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the GRAVES were opened; and MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS who had FALLEN ASLEEP were RAISED; 53 and coming out of the GRAVES after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and APPEARED to many” Matthew 27:50-53/NKJV.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: AND IT’S AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both have, give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self-denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted  and characterised are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. [1 Peter 1:19; Acts 24:16; Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.

I want to emphasize emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost – and it wasn’t just an a mere GIVEN. It’s not cheap and it’s out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His LIFE at the CROSS of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.

And in the context of LOVE, God loves us; and this He expressed and authenticate by giving us His only Beloved Son – the first begotten from the dead – and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN; and He expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning.

Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. [1 Timothy 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].

How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way?

Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. [Romans 8:31-39].

May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and COMPELLED to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21)

To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURED COMPLETE FULNESS), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT” Matthew 5:43-48 (Emphasis Mine).

Some people think that BELIEVING in God and or not BELIEVING in God and or being doubtful if there’s God, will change the person of the sovereignty of God. Sorry my friend that will not at all happen if that’s your position – and it makes no difference at all about the sovereignty of God – He CHANGES not and there’s no CONTROVERSY about Him by what you hold or claims to about Him.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Some others think it is their place to be emboldened and to make it known and loud, on why not to BELIEVE in God; and to question if there’s a God besides what they think as freelance thinker or atheists shows stupidity and foolishness as it’s written:

“The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is NO God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” Psalms 14:1.

And to imagine if the called God can make you unique, exclusive, important and APPLAUDED and HYPE for whatsoever reason in your assumptions or conclusions shows pure ignorance and delusional in context because it’s deadly to position yourself to be something that you are not and will never be.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.

And if you don’t FEAR God, I have these scriptural news for you to read in order to be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, if such is your case because you aren’t the first to think or imagine otherwise about God – Luke 8:1-8 Acts 17.

Unfortunately for many in their ignorance, one thing that is a certainty for all the living creation – RICH or POOR – there’s a life span for all under the sun. And this is irrespective of how morally good in your own ways you are outside God’s planned REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead; or on how wealthy or poor you might have ascertained in status and position and or have acquired the laid up blocks of being mighty, great and successful in life in humanity. There’s an end point of life span at the undated end road, in which your BELIEVE or UNBELIEVE of God will matter then; and at that point, a mere oxygen or wealth or attained status or acquired success can’t keep any alive, and then is your an ANSWER to the giver of etenal spirit and breath that’s in all human beings – which is in eternity, the breath of God in all – (Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Amplified; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27; Genesis 2:7).

The Holy Scripture of Luke 18:1-8 portrays in verses 2 and 4 of a JUDGE, who BELIEVE not in God and have no regards and sense of humanity in him for his fellow human being. How much bad could somebody status be in life. So it’s not knew to not BELIEVE in God; much more to disregards others around you because of your class, status, position and acquisitions in life.

However, HEREIN are some reasons to PAUSE and THINK about your UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING position toward God:

** In the Holy Writ of Luke 16:13-31, there is a living story of a RICH PERSON and POOR PERSON. The RICH man felt all he has attained what will buy him access to God. He NEVER believe death can even get to his doorsteps. As written in verse 21, the RICH man died just as the POOR man called Lazarus died. Remembering Lazarus was daily begging for help at his gate, without his consideration on care on this poor beggar. Unfortunately for the RICH man he became a beggar at death and his wealth and status never followed him.

** A YOUNG rich man was considered to be a foolish rich man in the Holy Writ of Luke 12:13-21. He thought by His acquisition in life he could even buy death. His pride killed him, simply for His disbelieve of being rich toward God.

** The Holy Writ of Acts 12:18-23 gives the most profound of being foolish and ignorance of God. This was exhibited by King Herod whom the scriptures described as one that was very wicked and enjoys the ovation and applaud of men – acclaimed as being God himself. When his breath of life was taken away from him by eternal God he despised, then he knows who actually God is and that there’s God.

I pray you found yourself before God gets hold of you in an awkward position when it’s difficult to bend and reverse the clock of your time while your life breath is still here on earth – Hebrews 9:27.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that WISE men die, likewise the FOOL and the BRUTISH person perish, and leave their WEALTH to others. 11 Their inward THOUGHT is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.  14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in HONOUR, and UNDERSTANDETH not, is like the beasts that perish” Psalms 49:13-20.

HE’S ALIVE – HE’S RISEN – HE’S ENTHRONED: HE’S OUR PASSOVER LAMB!

 “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Corinthians 15:55

The sting of Death couldn’t hold Him down – let’s celebrate and commemorate Him – for our REDEMPTION is done. Hebrews 2:14-15.

Happy Sunday!

Happy Resurrection!!

Happy PASSOVER!!!

HE’S RISEN, HE’S ALIVE, HE’S ENTHRONED..

The stone of bondage has been rolled away. LOVE HAS TRIUMPHED OVER DEATH. GRACE has TRIUMPHED over the CURSE of the LAW and the CURSE of the FALL that has kept man in BONDAGE.

Let’s Celebrate and Commemorate Him. We’ve pass from death unto life in Christ Jesus – now free to live and live, and never to live and die in sin again. Hallelujah.

“For He hath MADE him to be SIN FOR US, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

THANK YOU JESUS – FOR IN YOU – WE HAVE DOMINION IN REDEMPTION.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . HE IS NOT HERE: FOR HE IS RISEN, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.  7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that HE IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD . . .” Matthew 28:5-8.

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; 52 AND THE GRAVES WERE OPENED; AND MANY BODIES OF THE SAINTS WHICH SLEPT AROSE, 53 AND CAME OUT OF THE GRAVES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION, AND WENT INTO THE HOLY CITY, AND APPEARED UNTO MANY. 54 Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God” Matthew 27:50-54

“. . . 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP IN VICTORY. 55 O DEATH, WHERE IS THY STING? O GRAVE, WHERE IS THY VICTORY? 56 THE STING OF DEATH IS SIN; AND THE STRENGTH OF SIN IS THE LAW. 57 But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH US THE VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:50-58.

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; THAT THROUGH DEATH HE MIGHT DESTROY HIM THAT HAD THE POWER OF DEATH, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED US to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN TO US the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be SIN FOR US, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
