By Pastor Uche Ezeanya Galatians 2:20 “My old identity has been co-crucified with Christ and no longer lives. And now the essence of this new life is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—we live in union as one! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me […]
By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel Ezekiel 37:26“Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them: and I will place them, and multiply them, and will set my sanctuary in the midst of them for evermore.” Romans 5:1 “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” […]
By Pastor Chinedu Emmanuel “And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.” Luke 24:11 The only way to relate to an unseen God is through His word. We learn and understand about God through reading his word. God and his word are one, what he says is what he does. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning […]
By Minister Onyeka Emmanuel Psalm 119:105 “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” The word of God serves as both our guiding light and a lamp, illuminating the path we should take. This light leads us to the truth, enabling us to understand and embrace it. However, we become oblivious to the truth if […]
Continuing our study of the Book of Galatians, we now delve into the profound concept of the fruits of the Spirit. This post aims to provide a clear and comprehensive understanding of these fruits, their significance, and their practical implications for believers. The fruit of the Spirit cannot be acquired or achieved by our own human effort, actions, or abilities. […]
Your identity is who God says you are, as declared in the word of God. It strengthens you and makes you unique. You are marked with the blood of Jesus and are not just a nobody; you are a child of God!
Developing a mature, vibrant Christian life is God’s expectation of every believer. Just like a parent expects their child to grow to maturity and not remain, babies all their lifetime. God expects us to grow spiritually. When we grow and mature spiritually, we can understand God’s purposes better and understand the values of life from God’s point of view and choose them over other values competing for our time and pursuit.
When Jesus was crucified, we were also crucified with Him. When He died on the cross, we died with Him too. When He was buried, we were also buried with Him. Then when He triumphed over death, that is when he resurrected, we became alive in Him with a new life.
It is important that every Christian understand and embrace all the benefits that have been given through the death, burial, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord Jesus. If we don’t grow into spiritual maturity and identify what belongs to us in Christ, the devil will cheat us out of those benefits. We will end up living as mere men without the benefits of what Christ died to provide for us which makes all the difference in our lives and relationship with God.
Christians need to rediscover what really matters; Christ Jesus! They need to develop a working intimacy with Him based on true knowledge of Him and knowing His love for us so we too can love Him. That love for Him will make Him our priority in life, not what we get from Him but who He is. If we build a relationship with Him based on our love for Him, even when things do not line up, we will still love Him, because we love Him for who He is!!!
