THE HOUSE OF CHRIST

 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...

 

 

                A BELIEVER CANNOT BE CUT OFF FROM CHRIST   This teaching has been seen through many lenses but there is something that the Holy Spirit is speaking to my heart that I want to share with us (JOHN 15 1-6 ) 1 ¶ I AM THE TRUE VINE, AND MY FATHER IS THE HUSBANDMAN.2 EVERY BRANCH IN ME THAT BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: AND EVERY BRANCH THAT BEARETH FRUIT, HE PURGETH IT, THAT IT MAY BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT.3 NOW YE ARE CLEAN THROUGH THE WORD WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN UNTO YOU.4 ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU. AS THE BRANCH CANNOT BEAR FRUIT OF ITSELF, EXCEPT IT ABIDE IN THE VINE; NO MORE CAN YE, EXCEPT YE ABIDE IN ME.5 I AM THE VINE, YE ARE THE BRANCHES: HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME, AND I IN HIM, THE SAME BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT: FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING. {WITHOUT ME: OR, SEVERED FROM ME}6 IF A MAN ABIDE NOT IN ME, HE IS CAST FORTH AS A BRANCH, AND IS WITHERED; AND MEN GATHER THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE...

  GOD IS THE FATHER OF SPIRITS MAN IS THE FATHER OF FLESH Heb 12:9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather BE IN SUBJECTION UNTO THE FATHER OF SPIRITS, AND LIVE? In the Old Testament, God was not known as a father. He was only a circumstantial God with diverse names based on the situation he created to reveal Himself to a particular person at a particular time. Consequently, many have seen God manifest in their lives in a particular situation at a particular time that made them give   God names according to the situation H created for the revelation. These names are as follows. Jehovah shama, Jehovah Nissi,Jehovah Elohim, Jehovah Adonai etc. God was not known as a father in the Old Testament because God can only beget spirit born by the incorruptible seed of the word. 1PE 1:23 BEING BORN AGAIN, NOT OF CORRUPTIBLE SEED, BUT OF INCORRUPTIBLE, BY THE WORD OF GOD, WHICH LIVETH AND ABIDETH FOR EVE...

       VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE VOICE OF HUMAN SPIRIT The Holy Spirit and the human spirit are not the same even though they dwell together in a New Creature. Most times we think that the human spirit does not have a voice but he does. This is the new man that is renewed after the image of he that created him. 2CO 4:16 FOR WHICH CAUSE WE FAINT NOT; BUT THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN PERISH, YET THE INWARD MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. ( EPH 4:23-24)   23 AND BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND   24 AND THAT YE PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH AFTER GOD IS CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUE HOLINESS   (COL 3: 9 -10 )LIE NOT ONE TO ANOTHER, SEEING THAT YE HAVE PUT OFF THE OLD MAN WITH HIS DEEDS; 10 AND HAVE PUT ON THE NEW MAN, WHICH IS RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE AFTER THE IMAGE OF HIM THAT CREATED HIM :   The voice of the new man is the voice of the recreated human spirit spoken to our mind in relation to who we have become in Christ. The voice of t...

                                      THE MIND AND THE FLESH The mind and the flesh are so closely related that they are so used to each other. The mind had been working in consonance with the flesh before the spirit becomes recreated. ROM 8:5 FOR THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE FLESH DO MIND THE THINGS OF THE FLESH; BUT THEY THAT ARE AFTER THE SPIRIT THE THINGS OF THE SPIRIT. The mind and the flesh are inseparable but the spirit could work separately from both the mind and or the flesh.   It is either one is born of the flesh or born of the spirit but nobody has been born of the mind. The mind has no part to play in the born program. It takes the position of a dominating influence in it and gives it the services to carry out its desire at that point in time…whether good or bad or of the spirit and or of the fle...

           TAKE HEED OF THESE THINGS YOU HAVE HEARD HEB 2 1 ¶ THEREFORE WE OUGHT TO GIVE THE MORE EA WE HAVE TO HEED TO THE THINGS WHICH WE HAVE HEARD, LEST AT ANY TIME WE SHOULD LET THEM SLIP. 1, CHRIST TASTED DEATH FOR EVERY MAN. Heb 2: 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man 2. CHRIST WAS MADE SIN FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO BE RIGHTEOUS THROUGH FAITH IN HIM 2Cor 5:21 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. 3. CHRIST PAID THE WAGES OF SIN SO THAT WE CAN RECEIVE FREE GIFT OF   ETERNAL LIFE FROM GOD ROM 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 4. THE WHOLE WORLD HAD BEEN REDEEMED FROM SIN . Eph 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the for...

  JESUS CHRIST IS LIFE A man starts living the day he accepts Christ in to his life. Though sin is dead but a man living in unbelief does not have life. He is a common person without life and hope even though he is breathing because he refuses to accept the giver of life. He is therefore condemned by his unbelief and cannot be in the Kingdom of God. JOH 3:18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.   This is because the real life which is eternal life does not come by chance. It comes through faith in Christ whom God had made a propitiation for sins so that eternal life could be possible for men to live here on earth. 1JOHN 2:2 AND HE IS THE PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS: AND NOT FOR OURS ONLY, BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD. …2 and He is an atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (W...

  THE BODY OF SIN DIED ON THE CROSS NOT THE BODY OF CHRIST The vision of the cross was for sin to die in the body of man called sin so that man could be free in the body to receive eternal life that will be made available through the resurrection of the body by Christ. Christ did not rise from the dead because He did not die. He is God. Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, BY HIM TO RECONCILE ALL THINGS UNTO HIMSELF; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heave Col 2:14 BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES THAT WAS AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; . 21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 IN THE BODY OF HIS FLESH THROUGH DEATH, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight. Roman 6: 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, THAT THE BODY OF SIN MIGHT BE DESTR...
