GRACIOUS VISITATION

The gracious visitation of God can be traced to the story of Zacchaeus. He was described as a tax collector, who was sinful in his ways. He is a rich man whose riches were linked to extortion of money from the poor. Being a short man, when Jesus was passing through Jericho, he had to climb up a sycamore tree to see Jesus. Even in his sinful nature, he desired greatly to see Jesus. He did not hide his sinful face from Jesus, instead, he realized and believed that he needed to be saved.

UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE

Some Christians are living without their privileges as children of God. This is because they are not sure of who they really are in Christ. The phrase “children of God” is said so often that it has truly lost its meaning. It is easy to say we are children of God in a casual way, especially around other believers. But, the real question is do we really believe this? How do we really see ourselves especially when we are alone with our own thoughts?

A CARNAL MAN CANNOT RECEIVE FROM GOD

Christianity is an entirely spiritual experience. Many Christians live and operate in the carnal realm. They see everything simply as the natural senses interpret them. This lifestyle locks them up in the natural realm and makes them totally forget the world of the Spirit and by extension the reality of the kingdom of God. When your natural senses have the ascendancy and control your thinking, it blocks you from seeing the spiritual realities and accessing them.

Spiritual Blessings Can Only Be Received By The Spirit

Casual seekers don’t get much from God. Every believer must see and take the word of God as a treasure. If you do not show God that you are serious about something, He will not give it to you because you do not know the value and you will most likely abuse, neglect, or waste it. When you don’t show God that you are serious with His word, He will leave you with your wisdom and this makes you mediocre and leaves you in a very risky situation.

Roadblocks to Living in the Blessings of God in Christ

Through the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus, God has provided us with all we need for life and godliness. Every human problem has an answer in what the Lord Jesus died and paid in full for us to have. Therefore, we are complete in Christ! This post will be exploring three of the main roadblocks that hinder Christians from experiencing or living out the complete blessings made available to all through Christ.

DO YOU REFLECT CHRIST?

God wants the very best for us. We are the objects of His love. God’s purpose is to take you from slavery to sonship. Living by the rules and laws of the world takes you back to slavery, so it is important that you live by faith. Becoming like Christ brings about freedom from the bondage of the old man.
