That, however, is not the way of life you learned when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Ephesians 4:20-24 NIV
Growth is essential to every living being ,daily you need to grow .With each morning whatever challenges you face you have to be victorious. Each and every thing we face in this life is meant to make us grow ,if you do not adapt to changing situations you go extinct. Everyday is a struggle ,a battle you have to win or else you get left behind.
The Bible is a not a book written to entertain or a history book it is a practical book for everyday situations.By putting the principles written in the Bible success is imminent. Everyday we see ourselves feeling inadequate like Moses when he was instructed to face Pharaoh ,we ask the same questions he asked ,how am I going to convey this message I don't have the right words to use ,sounds familiar.
Habits are formed and you can change your habits by being reborn to a new identity .By acknowledging that you are no longer who you were before ,you no longer do the things you used to do ,you no longer befriend a certain type of people changes start happening in your life.I have noticed the effect of changing the literature I used to read to grasp my new identity it works.Changed my role models and channels I used to watch on TV eventually my taste of music changed and my language changed certain words I used in my everyday communication changed drastically.
These were the days when my prayer life had deteriorated , was overwhelmed by my problems I began to worship my problems instead of worshipping God but that changed the moment I changed what I was exposing myself to. Instead of wallowing in self pity I started worshipping Jehovah Jireh the God who fights my battles everything changed ,I started seeing opportunities in everything he changed my mindset.
What are you focusing on ? Is what you are focusing on creating fear in you or faith ? Who do you listen to frequently ?After spending years listening to them do you believe you achieve greater things? In our former lives we worshipped idols ,mainly ideas and images created by human beings to control and manipulate us into buying their products ,or for us to serve them for life .We worshipped worldly fashions and possessions ,your image in the society was determined on how much you knew or possessed certain objects but surprisingly enough many who lost these possessions committed suicide ,they died terrible deaths due to their attachments to these things.Then we realised there is more to life than these idols , there was more to life than what these gods were offering .
Jesus Christ enlightened us to a new world altogether .We gained the whole world in him ,we discovered that true wealth is better than what the riches these gods promised.These gods were promoting selfishness , adultery ,homosexuality , fornication and divorce whenever you had what they referred to irreconcilable differences but most people who followed these gods lost their riches in the process sadly something was not right with these gods most of our friends lost their lives to gain the world satan promised.
Jesus Christ taught us to marry for life ,since we are his brides for life then we became co heirs in the kingdom of God a new world was revealed to us . Dead situations were brought back to life ,dead marriages were revitalised ,and those who worshipped demons by engaging in dirty sexual activities were freed from the demon gods of sodomy and witchcraft. Surely there is power to restore life in Jesus Christ.
The worldy standards did not work for us ,so we chose a higher standard. Priests of the demon of sodomy were encouraging same sex marriages woman to woman and man to man but they (priests) were married with kids ,so whoever bought their idea was to violate the principles of marriage to have children in their marriage absurdity it was , having a marriage contract yet permitted to be adulterous .Is the world coming to an end ?Their greediness for power pushed them to control childbirth by promoting homosexuality thereby destroying marriages for normal couples . To avoid the same people from coming back to Christ they started introducing the same acts of sexual impurity in the church of God and also started satan churches all over so the poor souls accepting the name of gays would find comfort ,atheism and all funny names were introduced.
“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 5:17-20 NKJV
Christ chose us for this age , to liberate the lost souls who are trapped by this demon spirit they are in pain mostly they are resorting to drugs to escape reality . What kind of life is that ,they can't face themselves without drugs WE NEED TO PRAY so they will return to the living God.Jesus Christ died for us whilst we were yet in sin to set us free , when he resurrected he conquered the sin in our lives and brought us back to life.
Growth can only be found in Jesus Christ you are not defined with what you eat or clothes you wear but by living the word of God in you.Man shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God.We are to study the word of God to know the wiles of the devil so as to resist him from taking over our families. He came to fulfil the law in us.
You possess within you the ability to change anything you feel is enslaving you.You have the ability inside of you to leave the land of Egypt to go and displace Canaanites from their land .You possess inside of you the ability to defeat Goliath . Surely you have the ability to set the captive free the Kingdom of God is inside of you.You possess the ability to create anything . You possess in your mouth the ability to speak things into existence , with your mouth you have the ability to give life and to chase the demons out of your territory.
You possess unimaginable power inside of you ,power to tear down the devil's territory the walls of Jericho will tremble when you sound the trumpet.You possess an army of Angels around you only waiting for an order from you. You are a co heir in the kingdom of God ,satan and his demons don't have any authority over your life. Anything giving Satan and his demons legal rights over your territory was removed on Calvary ,he was rendered powerless ,death was conquered too so your dreams have to be fulfilled .
God honours a marriage covenant so your marriage is being revitalised .You are a new creation ,you have a new identity none of the worldly way of life has a meaning in your life.Today you are crossing the red sea to your victory and all the enemies who were persuing you will be swallowed by the red sea.Jehovah has done it again I am delivered from all iniquity ,our sins were forgiven and I am starting over today on a new path.
Those who knew you before will be amazed by your transformation they will ask what happened and you shall say I met Jesus Christ of Nazareth who was crucified on Calvary only to rise on the third day ,he revealed himself to me ,he is alive ohh yes he touched me and I was made whole again. After years of bleeding non stop from the woes of this world after I touched his garment the blood stopped AMEN I am a new creation now.
Glory be to God of Abraham who honours his covenant throughout all generations he has enlarged my territory ,my finances were restored .My name was changed from poverty to abundance .Christ now lives inside of me. Hallelujah
God bless you
Shalom.
Love it
