Being JUSTIFIED by FAITH in Christ Jesus, we are given ACCESS by same FAITH to Father God, upon the GRACE wherein our REDEMPTION was CERTIFIED for us, and made us QUALIFIED, to enable us STAND TRIUMPHANTLY as transferred, transformed and translated from the Kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of His dear Son – Lords and Saviour Jesus Christ; and to TAKE and MAKE a STAND, into the DEED of God, that MADE us the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

*** ACQUITTED from All wrongs IN Christ Jesus.
**** QUALIFIED and JUSTIFIED in God’s grace in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.
You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST
THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST: TO END – THE SIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND TO START UP – THE RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS!
“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an opportunity for the SINFUL NATURE (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.
No More SIN FISHING – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus. Therefore, know of a TRUTH, that the BIRTH of JESUS the CHRIST is to lay the foundation to the end of SIN CONSCIOUSNESS and to start up the NEW CREATION mandate of RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Him as it’s written:
“For Christ is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH” Romans 10:4.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: OLD THINGS are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 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.
It’s time to live FREE by THIS DECEMBER, THIS CHRISTMAS and even now, for your FREEDOM time is come in EMMANUEL Birth, which is – JESUS THE CHRIST. Matthew 16:20.
“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST”
The REASON for the SEASON of Christmas commemoration and celebration, is all about God’s LOVE in demonstration through the BIRTH of Jesus the Christ. It’s not to activate SIN or make SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, meaning it’s not to make you GUILTY again and again, but to give LOVE and make us receive God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, because God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus is STRONGER than the stings and pangs of SIN.
Hence the scripture of Micah says God had buried our inequities under the SEA of forgetfulness and I say to you – NO FISHĪNG or NO MORE FISHING! Meaning, don’t go fishing what God has forgiven you of, no matter the gravity of it. Don’t go feeling guilty with memory of events that had happened. No fishing! This is your freedom Christmas.
“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH INIQUITY, and PASSETH by the TRANSGRESSION of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER for ever, because he DELIGHTEH in MERCY. 19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt cast ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA” Micah 7:18-19.
Don’t go and visit place or places of reminder, even if it is called a Church. Go to a place or places where you are WELCOME and RECEIVE; and the LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus is celebrated to enhance your FREEDOM and REDEMPTION in Him.
Living in SIN CONSCIOUSNESS will invite the enemy and that will rob you of your worth and dignity especially during this period of expressing true LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS to fellow men because of Christ.
“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.
Let LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS possess your day, that’s what makes Christmas worth expressing and everything. This CHRISTMAS is about God’s LOVE and your access to FREEDOM in Christ and not to LIVE IN GUILT anymore.
GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSINGS.

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this RULE, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.
“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto LIBERTY [FREEDOM]; only use not LIBERTY [FREEDOM] for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another. 14 For all THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

“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” Romans 5:1-2.
In consequence to the following scriptures and not limited – 2 Corinthians 1:20-22; Romans 8:28-30; Colossians 1:12-14 (Amplified); 1 Corinthians 1:9 etc, we can have a stand to express earnestly and declare that Jesus Christ has become our REDEMPTION.

** He has RECONCILED us to God
** He has GIVEN us ACCESS to God
** He has QUALIFIED us
** He has CHOSEN us
** He has BLESSED us
** He has DELIVERED (RESCUED and DRAWN) us to God
** He has GLORIFIED us
** He has PREDESTINED/PREDESTINATED us
** He has TRANSLATED (TRANSFORMED, TRANSFERRED) us from the KINGDOM and DOMINION of darkness to God, so that we are not a or the REFURBISHED and REFORMED people anymore
** He has ANOINTED and SEALED us
** He has EMPOWERED us
** He has LOVED us
** He has ABOUNDED toward us
** He has MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved
** He has OBTAINED an INHERITANCE for us
** He ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us
** He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us
** He has GIVEN us the Blessed Holy Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE of SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal LIFE (ZOE) in and to us
** . . . And much more and ABOVE all else that we ARE – FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED and RECEIVED by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Therefore, there’s no more CONDEMNATION in God in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 8:1-2. No more FINGER POINTING and MIDDLE MEN OR MAN to rob you of your REDEMPTION REALITIES and PRIVILEGES in God, because of what Jesus Christ has and is done, who now has become and is our REDEMPTION in God.

What men can’t offer and do, God had offered and given to us without conditionalities, prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation – by saying to us for NOW, today and tomorrow that – THERE’S NO MORE CONDEMNATION – FOR BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. And that settles it all to live with hope, faith and love. Amen.

BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE
BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE: FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND.

Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge and behold you to always stand EMBOLDENED in the grace; and to TAKE and MAKE – YOUR STAND KNOWN OF YOUR BELIEVE IN THE FAITH – in the REDEMPTION that our God have given us in Christ Jesus stead. There’s so much out there of fear phobia, inferiority complex, intimidation, self or cohorts accusation of your past, that’s hunting and hurting your present; or and self defeat of the assumptions about you and such like; and as to the reality and tangibility of who you are and worth now in Christ Jesus; or probably because of your past or current challenges and circumstances. Am here to inform you for your justification that results your transformation in grace, and of the need to raise your heads up, shoulders high and put on your emboldened redemption in the faith with high heels of confidence of your JUSTIFIED state in Christ Jesus; this is to ensure and assure you God’s enabling, in order for you to be in charge and control and the custodian of your own God’s good and goodness in Redemption. Amen.
“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY OR COWARDICE OR FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and PERSONAL discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/AMP.
“Herein is our love made PERFECT [COMPLETE], that we may have BOLDNESS [CONFIDENCE] in the day of JUDGMENT [JUSTICE, CHALLENGES]: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT [COMPLETE] love casteth out FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT [COMPLETE ] in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.
A questioning came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ takes a STAND UP to speak GRACIOUS WORDS that was contrary in His days and in the ways of speaking emboldened of God’s personalised and personified purpose in one’s life [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. And we can see same too and differently in our day to day from many in denominationised and sectarianism settings as in some religious sayings as – “return to sender”, “fire and thunder”, “holy ghost fire” and such like which indicates pure ignorance and condescending out of the redemption Scriptural TRUTH God had offered us in Christ Jesus stead, to sing and speak forth in the new songs of testifying to our faith only of Christ Jesus and not to religious bigotry [Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 19:10; Philemon 1:6; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39]. We must take a robustness in our STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, instead of the onward and upward trajectory of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS [RIGHT STANDING, BLAMELESS]. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.
“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22.
It’s time to be emboldened of your FAITH STAND in Christ, and save yourself from every form of QUESTIONING on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and it’s EFFECT in terms to these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP on your FAITH in GRACE against the ENEMY and COHORTS in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen.
Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ did when He stood in the Temple to declare of His personified purpose with God [Luke 4:1-22] and in many other instances of confrontations by the religious and political elites of His days in humanity. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN [Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13]. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS in their various acts of manifesting and revealing [as wolves in sheep clothing’s, and or like a roaring lion and or as an angel of light] to challenge your faith stand in Christ Jesus by saying – IT’S WRITTEN too as Jesus Christ did. Amen. [1 Peter 5:8-12; Mathew 7:15; 2 Corinthians 11:14].
Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace that no wealth and riches of any can buy [Psalms 49:6-10].
Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus by Father God is a DID, a DONE and a DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your REDEMPTION stand in grace, wherein you are BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.
DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE AND FAITH – NO MATTER WHAT MAY. For in Christ Jesus you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you – ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – as BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. Amen.
Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WE’VE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS
WE’VE BEEN JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURTS AND YOUR PAST – WHEN YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED!
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the JOY OF RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His EXCELLENCE and POWER]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more? There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again. And when you are – BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS there’s NO MORE FISHING EXPEDITION ON YOUR PAST AND YOUR HURTS, because FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS is MADE POSSIBLE in the JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – in CHRIST JESUS on your behalf – that’s the gracious and BLESSEDNESS our REDEMPTION.
“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.
In today’s society – individuals, families, businessess, communities, and nations, governments and governances are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and more importantly, to moved FORWARD from the past and hurts, and moved in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace and BLESSEDNESS to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.
“We know that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.
The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.
I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all, in order to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.
He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARD, INWARD and ONWARD day to day life of grace.
And to JUSTIFY or BEING JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS, is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done because Jesus made Himself the sin for our redemption [2 Corinthians 5:21]. For this is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE work of grace that Jesus Christ DID in our REDEMPTION, to set us FREE without accusations, ensuring and assuring that there’s NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE and our PAST attached, thereby making us a NEW CREATION [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]; God by justification did all the enumerated in Christ Jesus, in order to ERASE our PAST, as He ensure and assure that our INIQUITIES has been BURIED in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – and NO MORE THE FISHING of the PAST to HURT and HUNT your TODAY and TOMORROW in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA [OF FORGETFULNESS]” Micah 7:18-19/Emphasis Mine.
Therefore I make bold to say you and to all, that to the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has no PAST because we’ve BEING JUSTIFIED BY IN CHRIST JESUS. And when you act in same like spirit TOWARD others, you will LIVE FREE from and of – BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it will hunt and hurt you as a cancerous disease, especially on you the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET but go about nursing grudges in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation as you do life and do godly in Christ Jesus.
IT’S EXPENSIVE TO CARRY RESENTMENT AND WRATH – IT’S LIKE TAKING PARACETAMOL MEDICINES FOR ANOTHER PERSON HEADACHES – THEREFORE, NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION – THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.
I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:1-2, 5-11.

“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 (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

“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” Romans 5:1-2.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY THE HEATHEN THROUGH FAITH, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.
“But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith . . . 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:11, 24.
“Knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:16.
“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the DEEDS of the law” Romans 3:28.
“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY (SET APART) you through and through [that is, SEPARATE you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—SET APART for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Amplified).
“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE
THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!
“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.
The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4
The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.
The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:
** The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION
** The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS
** The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS
** The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY
** The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE
** The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING
** The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER
** The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY
** The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING
** The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT
** . . . and such like.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS
BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
Its true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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” Romans 5:1-2.
“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.
“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.
“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.
“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.
“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).
“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.
“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 8:35-39.
