What is True Repentance? Repentance from deadworks.

Text:Hebrews 6:1, Mark 1:15, Hebrews 9:14


Repentance means a change of mind.Jesus was preaching the gospel in our text saying repent and believe the gospel-the good news.The goodnews is 'I will suffer and die for your sins,and through My blood that i will give, all your sins will be forgiven and you will be made right(reconciled) with God, the Father and you will receive eternal life (abundant life).

We have learnt so much about repentance from sin. In the New testament sin is a fruit of the tree of good and evil which has as its root ; dead works. Our first text tells us that this and faith towards God is the first foundation of our faith.So when we repent from deadworks(the root), we automatically take care of sin(the fruit), and then faith will be released.The blood of Jesus purges us from deadworks the root of the tree of good and evil to serve the living God.

Our faith sometimes seems impotent because it is founded on deadworks.So then what is
deadworks. Deadworks are goodworks based on the law or self effort which we do to make us right with God or to gain righteousness.

For example if we study the Bible or pray or give tithe and offering or do anything in the kingdom outside the help or prompting of the Holy Spirit, our Helper, thinking that will make us right with God that is deadworks.

If on the other hand we study the Bible or pray or pay tithe and offering depending on the help and the prompting of the Holy Spirit based on the Word of God, because we know we are already right with God and that we are the beloved of God only because of the finished work of Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross and the conviction of the Holy Spirit that we are righteous based on the Word of God(John 16:10,13; Ephesians 1:5-6,2:8-9; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

 That is because we are under grace ; and thus God will answer our prayers as we pray(1 Peter 3:10) , give us revelation knowledge through the Holy Spirit as we study the Bible(2 Corinthians 3:7,9) and meet our needs according to His riches in glory and of his grace through the Holy Spirit(2 Corinthians 9:8) , then faith power, revelation and grace to meet sufficiency in all things will be released by the Holy Spirit who witnesses to the truth.god bless.

May the Holy Spirit give you understanding in Jesus Name,Amen

The interplay of spirit, soul and body in man's redemption

Text:1 Thessalonians 5:23, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, 9:27, 2 Corinthian 7:1.

Man is a tripartite being .He is a spirit with a soul and housed in a physical body. Man assesses: the physical world with his body, the intellectual or sensual realm with his mind, the spirit world with his spirit. The Bible calls the flesh which I believe is comprised of the soul(mind) plus the body, and I believe the heart comprises the spirit and soul(mind).

So we can see that the soul(mind) is the intercession of the spirit realm and the physical realm and is the theatre of war or the spiritual battle ground.The physical realm has no access to the spirit realm except through the soul(mind); and the spirit has no access to the physical body except through the soul(mind).

The soul(mind) is the focus of the enemy.He blinds the mind of the unsaved(2Corinthians 4:4) so that they cannot translate into the kingdom of God.(Collosians 1:13).So intercessors are enjoined in Acts 26:18 to preach the gospel so that the eyes of gentiles(unbelievers) be opened, to turm them from darknes to light , and from the power of Satan unto God that they may receive forgiveness of sins.For believers Satan labors day and night to corrupt their minds by complicated the gospel of grace(2 Corinthians11:3) and replacing with the gospel of works, thus making Christ of no effect.(Galatians 5:4).

The knowledge, thought and imagination which all happen in the mind of man of the believer is under attack of the enemy, and is the theatre of warfare and the stronghold of Satan against the believer.(2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Once Satan can get you into living by the principle of good and evil(works) based on the five senses- instead of living by the principle of faith in Christ depending on the leadership and direction of the Spirit of grace(Spirit of life in Christ Jesus) you are held in bondage. A believer then lives like an unbeliever, because he is a babe in Christ and still under the law(Galatians 4:1-4), and will likely be a roller coster as far as the issue of sin is concerned because sin has dominion over him(Romans 6:14)

Therefore it is instructive we set our minds on Jesus Christ and The Word of God to release our faith to ward off the incursion of the enemy. Spend quality time in prayer, reading ,studying and meditating the word(to hide the word in your heart) and be ready to release the word of grace against any attack on your mind at any time. God bless you.

The constant awareness of the spirit realm is the key

Text: Proverbs 19:2, 2 Corinthians 4:18


It is the ignorance of the interplay of the spirit realm with the physical realm that makes a believer suffer deprivation.There is a spiritual realm that controls and originates all that happen in the physical realm.Seeking to know and focus on what is happening in the spirit realm constantly and acting on our knowledge and instructions received is what pulls us over in the challenges of life.People are disobedient because of the negative influence of the spirit of disobedience.(Ephesians 2:2).And people are obedient because of the positive influence of the Holy Spirit.(1 Peter 1:22). All our blessings in Christ are stored up in the spirit realm .(Ephesians 1:3).So how can I assess the spirit realm for my breakthrough?

Love conquered Satan on the Cross

Text:Luke 23:33-35

In our text, Jesus unilaterally forgave thosewho derided and accused him on the Cross.,
even though the did not ask .That is agape love conquering Satan, sickness, poerty and
spiritual death. Anytime you release unconditional love of God , the situation is bound to
bow to you, and faith and grace will produce as expected.Alleluia, glory be to God.
Thank you Jesus.

Love is the secret to the supernatural life

Text:John 3:16,13:33-35

Agape or unconditional love is the secret, foundation, the engine or the prime mover of supernatural life.Love is the most powerful force in the universe and is the hinge that turns every spiritual virtue into reality. Faith, grace, patience, gentleness,goodness or kindness,joy,peace,self control, discipline are all facets of love expressed and all activated or work by love. In our text, God who is Love personified, demonstrated love to mankind , when He sent His only Son to pay the supreme price for man's redemption and restoration to relationship with God. Jesus who is Love, loved mankind and voluntarily laid down His life, suffered shame and pain to redeem man and restore man's blessings lost in the garden.He received the Holy Spirit from God,the Father and poured to everyone that believes.(Acts 3:26) The Holy Spirit who is Love loved mankind and chose to live with man forever(John 14:16)and also shares the love of God in our hearts (Romans 5:5) and directs our heart towards God,Alleluia.(2 Thess. 3:5) Love is the key to all blessings. The faithful man shall abound with blessing.(Proverbs 28:20)Therefore seek first the revelation of the Love of God and all other things will be added to you.

Praise and worship , the unfailing solution at all times

Text:Psalm 34:1,100:4,103:1-5 This year is the year of demonstration or manifestation of God's glory in the church.This will be brought forth through praise and thanksgiving to God,the Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I read a story of a sister who was sick of acute small pox infection.While she sought the Lord, He showed her a vision of two baskets-one containing her praises that was half full,and the other containing her testings or trials which was completely full.The Lord told her that the praise basket must be full to counter balance the trial/testing basket to receive her healing. So she kept singing,praising and worshipping God until the Lord showed her that her praise basket was full and overflowing.She saw the praise basket sink and the trial basket rise in the air, and in a moment, all related sypmtoms of her sickness disappeared leaving no scars.Glory to God, Alleluia. The praise medication works all the time. The price for it's efficacy was the blood of the Lamb which had been paid by our loving Jesus Christ through His finished work on the Cross.(1 Peter 1:19) You can virtually praise yourself into perfect health and your neeeded miracles today. But how long should you praise God?Until your basket of praise is full to overturn your trial/testing basket.The Psalmist in Psalm 34 says we should praise God at all times. And also following the Word of God in Psalm 103:1-6 diligently would provide solution to all your needs and challenges: "Worship the Lord O my soul : and all that is within me, worship His holy name.Worship the Lord O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities;who healeth all thine diseases; who redeemeth thy life from destruction;who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;who satisfieth thy mouth with giood things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's;The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed".In Jeremiah 30:19-22 and Isaiah 42:12-15 God says He will purnish your oppressors and bless you and your family if you worship Him.Glory to God in the highest.Alleluia. You have prayed for a long time for a needed miracle or breakthrough or even for a current need. The missing miracle seed is praise and worship that will give God His deserved glory. It is the unfailing solution to all human needs without conditionalities. Go for it today and receive your overdue miracles in Jesus Name. Thanksgiving opens the door to your miracles.Praises keep the doors opened.do it every time.Shalom and God bless you. richly this year, in Jesus name, Amen.

Setting the pace for delivery of your miracles this year-2012

Text:Exodus 14:15,Isaiah 42:10-16,45:2-3 This is the year of the demonstration of God's glory in the Church. There will be surprise miracles this year for addicted heartfelt thanksgivers.The grace of God will produce miracles beyond expectation for addicted heart worshippers this year. They will receive exceedingly ,abundantly above what they have been expecting all these years(that they have been thinking about and saying) (Ephesians 3:20) Be blessing and miracles conscious(grace conscious)by remembering the finished work on the cross and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and they will manifest in your life. But how can I connect to my blessings and miracles this year? By the continuous hearing of the gospel of grace and keeping it in your memory(Galatians 3:5) and giving glory to God through thanksgiving, praise and worship continuously and see God manifest His goodness, grace, mercy and the blessings in proclaiming His covenant names this year in your life, family and ministry.(Exodus 33:18-19) When you sing,praise and worship God continually this year, God will prevail against the enemies of your breakthrough:make waste mountains and hills,make rivers islands,dry up the pools hindering the manifestation of your long awaited miracles. He will bring his servant who is blind in the way of breakthrough by making darkness light and making the crooked paths straight: by breaking the gates of brass and bars of iron obstructing their blessings and giving them the riches of secret places. God will do this unto you and will not forsake you.So be ready to join the heavenly choir in heart felt singing, thanksgiving,praise and worship this year. That is the key that will unlock all miracles this year.
