SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS

We should serve God with a joyful noise, proclaim His name loudly and boldly with shouts of joy, clapping and dancing , making merry to the glory of His name. God wants you to celebrate Him; talk about him, shout, make a loud noise, and let the whole earth hear about Him. It should be a lifestyle for you and your family all the days of your life.

YOUR DIVINE IDENTITY

God created us in His true image in Christ Jesus and so we cannot see ourselves as anything less. We are not grasshoppers while sin, Satan, the world, sickness etc. are giants. A wrong identity will build weakness into your life and produce failure even before the fight.

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO ISAIAH

Prophet Isaiah was one of the greatest prophets. He prophesied about God’s plan of salvation through Christ Jesus. He wrote about the gospel thereby confirming the writings of our Lord Jesus. He started by making us know how to receive the Gospel. It is received by faith only. NOT BY WORKS!

WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE VS WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE

A major problem most Christians face is ignorance. We are all familiar with the Scripture that says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. If you are ignorant in any area of your life, you will not excel in it. Spiritual ignorance means living in a lack of understanding of the revealed truth that is in Christ Jesus.

GRACIOUS VISITATION

Salvation is not only about the forgiveness of sins but the mercy of God upon mankind. God saves us by grace when we believe. It’s not by works of righteousness but by the Grace of God. We do not have the power or ability to overcome the sinful nature we inherited from Adam, but by the grace of God, we are able to.

THE THINGS THAT ARE FREELY GIVEN TO US

As believers, it is important that we have a working understanding of salvation or the devil will cheat us. Salvation is a gift from God with many privileges. Salvation brings the riches of heaven and blessings to the believer, which no human could have ever imagined or thought about. The gifts that were freely given to us are unfathomable. It elicits joy.

ENJOYING THE BENEFITS OF SALVATION

Experiencing salvation is the core of a believer’s walk of faith. Salvation is a package of blessings and privileges that the Lord Jesus paid for us to have freely with His life and His blood. It is received only by faith because it is given as grace; unmerited favor. Salvation among other privileges gives us access to God and the privilege to call Him Abba Father.

SALVATION: SAVED FROM WHAT?

We were saved by grace through faith. This is not of works but a gift from God. We need to have a working knowledge of our salvation. If we don’t have knowledge of our salvation, we won’t know the benefits of it. It is important to know what we’ve been saved from by receiving salvation.
