SALVATION ,TRANSFORMATION AND FULFILLMENT IN CHRIST 3 As we have dealt with salvation and transformation let us go further to cap up the epistles. Fulfillment is an integral part of our existence in life. It does not come by material acquisitions because many billionaires have committed suicide for lack of it. It does not also come by political powers or amalgamation of academic degrees ....many politicians and professors are passing through heavy depression. So we can conclusively say that live is not about achievements but fulfillment. Fulfillment comes by understand ourselves vis a viz our maker and his purpose of sending us on earth. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. The joy of our existence and vocations hinge on our understanding of who we are in Christ. When we get this, we align all our personalities and our achievements to serve Go...

SALVATION ,TRANSFORMATION AND FULFILLMENT IN CHRIST 2     Receiving salvation by grace through faith in Christ ( ALONE) is the first step that we take in our relationship with God. ✔Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. ✔Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. I dealt with salvation in the 1 part of this epistles so that we should understand this stage of transformation. If we do not understand salvation , it will be difficult for us to understand transformation. So I advise us to read and digest both. Today, I want to talk about ; 🍍 TRANSFORMATION. Transformation is the changes men see in us as a result on the mind renewal we daily undergo by studying, fellowshiping and meditation on the word of God. Unlike salvation that we do not get by works, transformation comes by ...

                                         ENEMIES OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST Gal 1: 3- 4 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,    WHO GAVE HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS, 8 he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:   Christ is the message because sin is dead. He gave Himself for our sins to condemning sin in the flesh.(Roman 8:3). Christ came into this world so that men through Him would receive Eternal life. The Gospel of Christ is the Good News to mankind that should be received. It does not happen by chance. It is a relationship of consciousness of Christ by faith. It is a very pathetic that many have moved away from the truth. They have gone through human philosophies and definitely concluded that Jes...

 THE LOVE OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST  (ROMAN 8:1- 2)1 ¶ THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT.2 FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS HATH MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. Law cannot set a man free by another law. Just like a man born of a woman cannot redeem another man with the same DNA. It is through love that victory came to man through Christ. There is no law in Christ. There is ONLY love in Christ. Those who are in Christ are not born under any law. They are born into love world not law world. Gal 5: 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith 23 Meekness, temperance: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW. The bible did not say there is no law of sin and death but there is law of the spirit of life in Christ. Christ did not come into this world with any law. He was born because He came to show us the father of all lo...

  COL 3:1 ¶ IF YE THEN BE RISEN WITH CHRIST, SEEK THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE ABOVE, WHERE CHRIST SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD. EPH 2:   6 AND HATH RAISED US UP TOGETHER, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS To rise with Christ is a reality that comes to the life of someone who accepts Jesus Christ by faith to receive eternal life. You cannot be raised with Christ in unbelief. Unbelief keeps men in the grave of ignorance. Ignorance is a big grave. No one is destroyed because of sin or by Satan. Our problem is our ignorance.   Christ came to save the whole world from sin but many are still buried in the grave of ignorance through unbelief. The life of a believer begins by faith in Christ. This is the reason believers should know their stand in Christ. The knowledge of Christ keeps us ahead of every doubt and fear that the world brings through natural occurrences and challenges. An unbeliever cannot say he has risen with Christ because he is dead...

 There is big difference between living by the  law and living   by grace. Christ did not come that we might recieve eternal laws. He came that we might recieve eternal life through faith in Him. The law was weak  through the flesh but grace brought strength to carry out divinite assignments in the flesh. That strength is eternal life.The law could not provide strength. It had no life.  John  1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John  1:17  For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Romans  8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 1 John  5:11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.   ...

         YOU HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN I grew up in a religious family. After passing through the normal religious protocols then I had the first confession of my sins many years ago before receiving the Holy Communion. When I received Jesus Christ into my life I had another version of confession of my sins. This time i did not have to go to any clergy but I could confess my sins in the house and before any prayer meeting or fellowship because it would be a hindrance to the move of the spirit or physical resources that God wants to lavish on us in the fellowship. In the first stage it was just a religious activity that guarantees God’s forgiveness and also qualifies you to be standing in faith to receive Holy Communion, But in second stage there were many scriptures that were used to buttress the performance.   PROV 28:13 ¶ HE THAT COVERETH HIS SINS SHALL NOT PROSPER: BUT WHOSO CONFESSETH AND FORSAKETH THEM SHALL HAVE MERCY. PSAM 32 : 5 I AC...

    THE NEW CREATION DOESN'T LOVE BY OBEYING LAWS. Galatians 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. There was no single law that could give life. Even loving God with all your heart and your neighbor as you love yourself. (Matthew 22:36-40 ) 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. This is because loving as obeying laws is not true love. It is carnal love originated from fear of punishment meant for those who disobey laws. Love is not real when it does not involve the Spirit. If the law of love given to Jew could bring life,Christ...
