THE WORD LIBERATES


 
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now Your word do I keep [hearing, receiving, loving, and obeying it].

Psalm 119:67 AMPC


At redemption we become disconnected from every ancestral curse, yokes and bondage that may have been bewildering a family from one generation after another, because only the blood of Jesus has the cleansing power to stop the curse from continuing [and like Pharaoh and his hosts drowned in the red sea], the red sea is a type or shadow of the blood of Jesus in a figure. Now that the former things are passed away, there is a fresh start for all that believe. 


However, the kingdom of darkness wouldn't stop at that. They'd begin a fresh agenda to ensnare believers [in his/her redeemed state] through thoughts; prompting such individual(s) to act on those thoughts. With the aim to make God turn His back on the individual. Like Balaam taught Balak how to make the Israelite sin against God [Revelation 2:14],  even so it is now. There are unseen force propelling or instigating people to act against God's instruction/commands with the intention to make believers work in error, only then can they be afflicted.


The cure for this is found in Romans 12:2, it says;

"...be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."


Every believer have a duty to discipline themselves through prayers and studying the word of God, thereby walking within the light of the Word therein. To enable them keep the enemy at bay [James 4:7].


I pray for fresh grace to enable you overcome the trials and temptations of this age, in Jesus name!


Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...
