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.

Read MoreAre you an eternally conscious believer or a mere Christian? No one can answer this question for you; whether you are taking advantage of your eternal benefits in Christ or not. Unfortunately, many Christians focus only on the material things they can get from their relationship with God and fail to see the eternal things that matter most. Our focus as believers ought to constantly be on things above; eternal! […]

Read MoreWe are no longer required to offer sacrifices of blood but of praise to God. So, we can pour out sacrificial praise to God. Do not take it for granted that you can appear before God. It is a privilege that Christ made possible. He won’t ask you to do what you can’t do. He equips you with what is required to do what He wants you to do. May the fruit of the joy of the Lord dominate our lives.

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.
The life of a Christian has to be lived entirely by faith. The bible calls us only to believe, that’s the only requirement for salvation and also for the outworking of the new life we received in Christ Jesus. It is by grace through faith that we were saved. We only receive through faith in Jesus Christ. It is also the same grace that makes us what we are according to Paul, and if it is by grace, it still manifests by faith. That is why the just shall live by faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God. The bible shows us in several places the importance of having personalized faith.
Forgiveness is one of the key things Jesus gave us by dying on the cross. Without it, our sin would never have been truly wiped away; we won’t really have been saved and we would have been subject to God’s wrath. We were made holy through the blood which Jesus shed. Because of His blood, there is forgiveness and He has opened a new way through which we come to God and receive life instead of death.
It is important that every Christian understands and embraces all the benefits that have been given through the death of Jesus on the cross. 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.
If you do not believe the Scripture and what God has said about you in Christ. The enemy has confused you already. You need to rise and shine and let the light shine upon you. Fight back and get back into the word and walk in the light of it and not by sight. Do you know that any truth you reject you do not experience it? For it shall be to you according to what you believe. If you believe you are unholy, your life will turn out unholy.
The substance of faith is our action that corresponds to what we believe. The evidence of faith is the action that reveals we believe what the Scriptures say without seeing it first. This is what the Scripture says is how we respond to the word of God for it to produce life in reality. So, we can live our brand, which is the new life; the life of Jesus Christ!
Jesus brought healing to humanity and we all have full access to it through salvation in Christ. When we receive Christ in our lives, we receive healing also and all other blessings of God in Christ Jesus. Healing is a gift that has been freely given to everyone by God through Jesus Christ; it cannot be paid for.
No matter the length or number of hours you spend praying, you cannot get anything from God if you are not asking in faith according to the Scriptures. From the above Scripture, we are instructed to ask in faith. And that we will not receive anything from the Lord except we ask in faith. Simple enough right? So, let’s do it then.
Pleading the blood is a good way to stand on the benefit of the blood against Satan. By pleading the blood of Jesus, you are saying to Satan, “I am not guilty just as they plead in court. I am not guilty. My sins are washed away by the blood and you have no more legal standing to afflict me. The sting of death is sin but where there is no sin, death has no more sting. Christ has made me righteous and holy and I am purified by faith that is in Christ Jesus and washed in the blood.”
As Christians, we must now carry out and live life like we KNOW death and sin have no more power over us. We must claim all the promises we have in Christ Jesus! Christ did not just die for dying sake. He died for a purpose and that purpose is to pay for our sins, pay all the penalties of our sin and restore us back to God as our Father. Christ died to also take our place and we take His place. Believe and receive. God cannot now give you sickness after all of this.
