The Purpose and Person of Christ

What is your personal revelation of Christ? That is what determines the level of your freedom. His anointing destroys every yoke, setbacks or hindrances in your life.

Please read: Romans 3: 23 Romans 6 :23 ;1 John 5:12; Matthew 16:19; Mark 5: 6; Luke 15:20;Isaiah 10:27

Dear Friend, Considering how much the devil hates us and how dead set he is on destroying us, it's no wonder there is so much tragedy and disaster. This has been the pattern of humanity since Adam yielded his power and authority to the devil through his choice of disobedience toward God. As a result of this fact, we all became slaves to the devil and he used us at his will. Once sin and the devil entered, we lost our fellowship with God and became separated from Him. It is therefore impossible for us to be free from the devil’s harassments without a savior. Thus the total depravity of man helps us to appreciate and understand the work of Christ in our redemption story.

The Bible says that a day will come when the burden the devil has placed on our shoulders shall be taken away. And the yoke that has held us bound to him will also be removed from our necks and destroyed completely and forever as a result of the anointing that Christ brings to everyone who receives Him as Savior and Lord.

Yes, Christ Jesus is God the father’s answer to the sin problem. He paid the price of Adam’s disobedience through His death on the cross, so that sin will no longer separate us from God. He brought us back into fellowship with God. Therefore those of us in Christ are no longer far from God, we have become one spirit with Him. We are no longer slaves to sickness, disease, or hurts and pain because of the stripes he bore in His body. For poverty, He became poor that through His poverty we are rich. For our needs, all our needs are supplied according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. For the devil, Christ defeated him mercilessly and released us from his grip forever. Hallelujah!

Your personal revelation of Christ's work, however is what will enable you experience all these blessings and more. The mad man in Mark 5 account saw Jesus as the anointed one and without any prompting, worshipped Him. His personal revelation of Christ allowed him to experience his total deliverance from insanity. Jesus revealed in Matthew 16:19 that true revelation of Christ is revealed by God the Father alone. This means that we need to feed our spirit consistently with the word and in prayer so we can be sensitive to hear or receive revelation from the father. This is very important because our level of revelation determines our level of freedom in Christ..

Obedience to God’s Word is Key to Enjoying Life!

“God is bringing you to a place of rest so that you can focus on the things concerning His purpose for you on earth without any interruptions of misfortunes.”

Please read John 10:10 ; 1 Kings 5:4 ;Hebrews 11:6; John 15:7 ;1 Corinthians 13;Leviticus 27: 30-32;Prov 3:9-10

Dear Friend,
In the past several weeks we have been studying on how to enjoy life at its fullest with regards to faith ,family and finances. The anchor scriptures are taken from John 10:10 and 1 Kings 5 : 4.It is very clear from these scriptures that the one adversary who steals from you, kills and destroys every aspect of life is Satan. God's intent is to give you rest on every side so there is no adversary or misfortune in your life. Wow! this is too good to be true. Sounds like a fantasy but that is God’s will for our lives. He desires for us to enjoy life at its fullest. But that path to the good life can only be attained through Jesus Christ and our total obedience to His word. No matter how well intentioned we are to have strong faith, strong family, or attain a strong financial position in life , our willingness to give the word of God first place in our lives is the determining factor to enjoying life at its fullest.

Faith is simply believing in God and acting according to that belief. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Therefore if you believe that God has saved you from sin, then you act like it. If you believe that God’s will is for you to enjoy the good life, then be diligent to be word –of- God -driven in everything you do and resist every form of setback Satan brings. You do not have to cower under bed covers moaning over pain and sicknesses. You have to stand on the word and resist sickness knowing that by His stripes you were healed. Refuse to stay depressed under a mountain of bills that are due. Instead make sure you have done the will of God by paying your tithes and giving your offerings. Then declare with joy that “I believe that my bills are paid.” As one who tithes, God rebukes the devourer for my sake and as a giver, He supplies all my needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

Successful communication makes a successful marriage. When communication is ineffective it hurts. If you do not get your oil changed in your car on schedule , your engine may malfunction. Effective communication born out of wisdom from the word of God and prayer will facilitate peaceful relationships. Husbands, Wives, children, slow yourselves down and talk. Cultivate intimate relationships by doing things together. If you are in a relationship, It is worth fighting for it to work.

My friend, it is the perfect will of God for you to enjoy overflowing prosperity but there is a condition attached to that overflow. We see it echoed in several scriptures such as In Deuteronomy 5: 29. God reveals that when we honor Him by obeying all His commandments then it shall be well with us and our children forever. He has commanded us to pay the first tenth of our income to Him. If it is not first tenth, it is not tithe. Giving God first place is what constitutes honor. In 2 Corinthians 9 : 6-12 we are told that we will enjoy abundance if we give cheerfully and willingly.

As you continue to learn the Word of God your capacity is expanded to receive even more. Focus on the Word of God.
