The Death is a Potting Soil For Resurrection Life

Yes, Gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw in our last discussion that the power to work miracles comes not by man’s righteousness. God does not move on our behalf because we are holy but because, when we believe in Jesus, his righteousness becomes our righteousness which is the reason God works miracles in and through us.

The the apostle Paul opens up something striking in the next verse;

Galatians 3:8
And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

Observe the first words “And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith”

The scripture foresaw? Does the scripture has eyes?

The entire word of God is Christ. The word is living and powerful. The word, right from Genesis saw that we would be justified before God by faith and not by our works.

Hence we hear;

“preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed”

Preached the gospel unto Abraham?

A lot of people think the gospel of grace is a new school gospel. Something that has come into being nowadays. Remember we have established earlier in chapter one that there are no gospels in scripture. There is only one gospel which is the gospel of the grace of Christ and it is not a new gospel.

This is the gospel that saved Abraham and his descendants and it is the gospel the has the power to save all sinners.

God himself preached the gospel of grace to Abraham. This is no new Gospel. Abraham heard the grace of Christ and believed.

God preached to him saying “In thee shall all nations be blessed”

In thee? Yes, in Christ shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, not just the natural is Israel but the entire world would be blessed in Christ the seed of Abraham.

Observe carefully the language, it does not say all nations will be blessed in themselves but “in thee” the blessing is not ourselves, it is not from us, it does not come by us but the blessing is in Christ. Christ is the blessing, when we are in him we are I the blessing.

Then he goes on to say;

Galatians 3:9
So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

You desire the blessing? It comes by faith in what Christ has done and nothing else.

This is the gospel that was preached to Abraham, therefore, we are blessed with faithful Abraham when we look to Jesus by faith as our righteousness.

But when we desire to go the way of works we are told;

Galatians 3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

When we are not satisfied with the fact that the blood of Jesus has washed us and has made us whole. That we are today righteous by the blood of Jesus even forever. When we say no to this and run back to observe a little portion of the 613 laws to appease our ego that we are somewhat good, that we can deserve something by our good works we fall into the curse.

Why? Because God has already found fault with us by the standard of the law, the law has already judged us guilty;

Hebrews 8:8
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Observe the first statement “For finding Fault with them”

God has already found fault with us. This is why Jesus established the new covenant to help guilty sinners.

If God has said I have already found fault with you to which is the reason for me bringing in the new by my son, why fight against God judgment?

The scriptures cannot be broken. We are are forever guilty before God, only by Christ are we spotless before God.

Going back to be justified by works is calling God’s judgment a lie which is the reason for empowering the curse upon any who does that.

You are making the death, burial, resurrection of Jesus a vain thing. Dishonouring God and trying to establish your own righteousness.

This is why God says you must continue in all things written in the law. In other words you must be perfect in yourself

But we we hear;
Galatians 3:11
But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

Observe the last statement carefully, the Just live by faith and not by their works.

When the just go back to live by works, they are counting themselves unjust before principalities and powers. The devil knows this. When you count yourself unworthy by going back to works the enemy actually has you were he wants you to be.

You have deprived yourself of the full blessings of redemption.

We are to live by faith but the law is not of faith.

Galatians 3:12
And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

When we look to our works we are far from faith, when we look to Jesus we are in the faith of God.

What was preached to Abraham was not that all nations shall be blessed in the law but the all nations of the earth shall be blessed in thee, that is in Christ.

Therefore, when you live in the law, you are outside the blessing, you are living in the curse of the law. But when you live in Christ, you are in the blessing, blessed together with faithful Abraham.

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord “I saw the dying of things in the life of a child of God. She was thinking it was a curse, that it was the beginning of something evil. That something evil would resurface.

But I saw things coming back with life, a different kind of glory. She was fearful but this was actually what the Lord had desired for her.

1 Corinthians 15:36-38
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

Then the Lord said, ” It had to die, I know how much you have sown to reap. But I had to let it die for resurrection life to surface.

Do not be afraid, the death of things in your life is not my curse upon you, it is a potting soil for resurrection life.

I AM not doing what you think should be, but I am doing what you will love at the end.

I am giving every seed you have sown its unique life as I please, even a glory you will love. For I have desired wonderful things for you my Child.”

Your Adversaries Won’t be Able to Catch Up With What I Am Doing

God is doing something, even though it is looking very tough. Light is surfacing, keep at it, you are already in a new season.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw in our last discussion from the third Chapter that the law rather empowers sin when we look to it for righteousness. When we seek to be accepted before God by our works we rather enter into bewitchment set for us by the Devil.

Now the Apostle says unto the Churches something he wishes them to reason on. He says;

Galatians 3:4
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

We have to be gain minded. Most of us when we turned to Christ, we faced rejection from friends and even family members. We faced and still a lot of persecution for our faith. We suffer much but it is God’s will that these sufferings be attended upon with his gracious reward.

It is not as though our sufferings earn us rewards but it is a grace in us worked out as a proof of our salvation to which we ought not to let be in vain. Now we have accepted the grace of Christ, we will not frustrate it. We will not let it be in vain to which we are been persecuted.

Now look at the next verse;

Galatians 3:5
He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Observe carefully these first words “He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you”

The power to see miracles happen in our lives and others is the quest of every believer. This is why the enemy for a long time took over the scene.

I have heard teachings upon teachings, read books upon books that kept giving religious works as conditions to seeing the miraculous. They make seeing the miraculous look like something you have to earn by either prayer and fasting, self righteousness and the likes.

But here the Apostle asks a very shocking question “He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?”

Wow, Paul is asking above that, does God supply the spirit to you and work miracles for and through you by your works or by faith in what you hear that Christ has done?

Every doctrine that sets up standards for us to qualify for the miraculous to be seen in our lives is erased by this statement.

God works miracles only by faith. When we believe in what Christ has done, Jesus becomes our qualification. God now works miracles in and through us by Christ and that’s all.

This was the secret of the apostles. If we must see the power and the miracles they saw we must also lean on their faith.

God has never done any miracle where any man has ever deserved it. God does miracles in the name of Jesus and no other name.

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

No matter how good you make yourself, God will not look to you and give you salvation. You name is not in the equation for power, miracles and any other blessing.

God answers to one name and that name is Jesus. God does miracles when we put faith I that name and that’s all. This was the secret of the apostles.

Peter healed a man and people kept looking at them as though they did it because of their holy living.

Acts 3:12
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?

Peter knew better. God doesn’t work miraculous through anyone because he or she is holy or righteous. God answers to just one name, Jesus. When we believe in him, his holiness and righteousness becomes ours and starts speaking for us. This is what Peter said was their secret to power.

Acts 3:16
And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

And this is what the apostle Paul says was the secret of Abraham, when he believed in Christ, God counted him righteousness by his faith in his son;

Galatians 3:6
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

All these are people that shook the earth with their faith. They saw God do wonders through their faith in him in their day like no other. Faith in his goodness and not in their goodness.

Because of this, the apostle admonishes us to follow the Abrahamic kind of faith. If we believe the way he believed we will have the same results, even greater works. For he was not justified by works, but he believed in God that justifies the ungodly and God became his righteousness and did wonders in and through him.

Galatians 3:7
Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

In an encounter with the LORD; I saw a Child of God in a football match. I saw as he approached the goal post with the ball. I saw him approach at two different times and at each of them he scored with a shot that was too fast the goalkeeper couldn’t even see the ball. All the time it happened too fast the goalkeeper could not see the ball. It was an exciting moment for this Child of God who was full of Joy.

Isaiah 60:20,22
Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the LORD shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time

Then the Lord said, “Son, your light has Come. The light you see piercing through your darkness is no longer what you used to see. It is beyond the natural light, it is beyond natural laws.

The sun and moon have their rising and setting times, but today I say you, your everlasting light has arrived. Your God is now manifesting himself to you as your everlasting light.

No more one step forward and two steps backwards. Your days of mourning are over, this is your day of rejoicing.

I am multiplying Zion, a little one is now becoming a thousand and a small one a strong nation. This is your hour, watch out now. See, your adversaries won’t be able to catch up with what I am doing with you, for I Am speedily fulfilling my word upon you.”

Keep Proclaiming and Preparing, for Your Gift Comes

The kingdom is growing, but the How is taken away from us. If we are to look at how things are going to come into formation for the fulfilment of God’s word, it is clearly not possible to discern at the moment. The kingdom is manifesting but not by observation.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw from our last discussion that going back to earn righteousness by the law is living in utter foolishness and a life under bewitchment as the apostle Paul clearly declared.

Galatians 3:1-3
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? ]Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

I was under this bewitchment in my early Christian walk. I was thought you are saved by the grace of Christ but to be used of God, you have to be good enough for God to use you. I had so much desire to be used of God.

I was taught you have to be perfect, if you desire God to use you. When you do good God blesses you, when you do bad God curses you. You won’t sees miracles if you are not perfect. God won’t move on your behalf if he sees any spot on you. The Holy Spirit will leave you if you sin.

I had begun the race all in the Spirit. I received the Spirit of Christ, was born again but now I thought I was to be made perfect by the flesh. I thought works were the way to perfection.

I wanted to make myself perfect so God could use me. I didn’t know I was being foolish and walking under religious bewitchment. I started destroying everything I had that maybe one way or the other it may not perfect before God’s.

First I went back to when I was born, looked at by birth certificate and found some fault with it and I destroyed my birth certificate. As I write this to you right now what I use is an affidavit.

I began right from my bed, I burnt all my bed sheets, I burnt all my pictures, all the gifts people gave to be while I was an unbeliever that I thought may not be spotless, I burnt them. I took my car and gave out gave out to someone close, thinking I couldn’t use what I got from my past life. Since I was a sinner, it was also contaminated with sin.

Oh the devil had a show of me. I kept burning things and destroying everything I could possibly think I had while I was an unbeliever. Now it was remaining by school certificates. At this time I had graduated from the university and was serving my nation in the National Youth Service Corps program in Nigeria.

I left the state I was serving in and traveled miles to my state, went straight to my pastor to submit my documents and retire from the National Youth Service Corps since there was no way as an unbeliever I would have done all things from my nursery to university spotlessly.

My pastor as of then looked at me and said since I had brought the matter before the church and confessed I was forgiven that I should return. But I was not satisfied.

The devil kept telling me how can God bless you with this kind of certificate?

How can God use you now?

You will never be used by God. I would wake up in the morning and keep confessing my sins at every wrong thought, everything I saw that was negative, I would confess hundreds of times before the night would come. And when I was about sleeping I would confess and then ask God to take my life so I wouldn’t wake up the next day to break his law. I kept on living like this until I became tired and began to ask some questions.

I began to look at my life, how free I was as an unbeliever. But now that I am saved, even when I do good since I am not perfect, it doesn’t meet up and I am just getting deeper and deeper into to condemnation everyday.

Now I wanted to live the the Christian life for those who can and go back to my old way of life. Instead of a life of freedom this was rather bondage.

And this is what happens to many who come to Christ genuinely but the power of the law pulls them back to the world. The law rather hinders people from following God by empowering sin.

1 Corinthians 15:56
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

I do not understand how many people read their Bibles but it says above that the power of sin is the law.

The law empowers sin when you look to it for justification. When you want to be perfect by works, sin is empowered in your life. The law does not minister righteousness unknown to many. The law ministers death, not righteousness.

2 Corinthians 3:7
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:

What is it that was written and engraven in stones? The Ten Commandments.

Some think when you talk of the law you are talking of the ceremonial laws. But that is false. The Ten Commandments, when you look to them to be righteous after you have received Jesus they minister death to you.

This was my case. The law ministered death to my relationship with the Lord, and I began to reason in my mind, maybe I should just turn back from following the Lord for i was seeing no meaning to all of it. I gave away everything, my entire old way of living but yet I was not qualified, I was daily living in guilt.

As these thoughts ran through my mind, I turned my Bible open one day and straight way the Holy Spirit led me to Galatians three. The Lord began to speak to my heart.

You foolish Jahfas, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? You have clearly seen in my word that I have died for you, washing you clean from all your sins by my blood.

Now tell me my son, how did you receive me?

Was it by works or you heard I paid the price and you believed?

I said Lord, I heard, believed and confessed you and received your Spirit.

Then he said, If that was how you received salvation. What makes you think you can now turn around and ear salvation that you already have by works?

I have already given you all things. When you received me you received everything. I am salvation. I am everything. Going back to earn me is foolishness and a doctrine of the devil.

As you have received me, continue in me and not in your works. Continue walking in me, looking to me for all things the same way you started.

Colossians 2:6
As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

The same way you received me, even so, now walk in me.

From that day I began to shout looking at the scriptures. Scriptures began to open up to me like a fountain of water. I became literally crazy about Jesus. I felt that was the day I was truly born again. Here was I trying to run off and here I encountered my saviour

Oh words can’t explain. I began to take whole days just reading the scriptures. I couldn’t let go of the word even for a moment until now that I write this. I became addicted to God’s word. And I do not desire to be set free.

Now what I wanted to earn by works has come to me as a free gift by Christ. Instead of becoming more sinful since I have let go of the law, I am being transformed into the image of Christ daily.

Recently my wife sent me a text saying “I am so proud of the man God is turning you into”

Anger, resentment, fault finding, bitterness, envy, jealousy, and what have you, are being swallowed up by my daily looking to Jesus and discovering how much I am loved.

I am today bearing fruits unto Jesus. I have found a new way to bear fruit and that way is Jesus and not by the law. Not by works. All glory to God.

Philippians 1:11
Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

I will daily look to Jesus, for there lies my hope and righteousness. I have come to understand by scripture and experience that there is nothing good in me.
But I am convinced that my God has already qualified me for every good work. As I look to him I am changed into the same image from glory to glory by the spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a child of God as she was expecting a gift. The Chances of her receiving this gift were very slim from her perception. It looked as though it was impossible and it could only take a miracle to have her gift.

But as I saw her wait, suddenly I saw the Lord appear with her package, the enemy was there desiring to lay hold on it, but the Lord completely ignored him as he began setting up the place for her to enjoy this gift.

I was led to:

Isaiah 62:8-11
The LORD hath sworn by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured: But they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise the LORD; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the courts of my holiness. Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people. Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.

Then the Lord said, “By my right hand I have sworn, By my power I have sworn, I will no more give your provision to your enemies.

Whatsoever is meant for you am bringing it to you now by my power. The enemy will not touch that to which I have ordained for you.

The fruits of your labour you will eat. You Will gather all your harvest and make a feast before your God.

Do not be afraid, this is my oath upon you. As I do not change so this will never change.

Prepare, look expectantly, keep proclaiming and Preparing, for your gift comes, your salvation arrives. My reward and work I bring for you my child.”

You are Already in the Hour of Your Miracle

There is a shakiness happening in the hearts of many that the door of promotion has been opened unto. This is because of the long wait and the instability in the way things have happened in this forgoing season. The way forward is to remain childish in our faith and to keep looking to God as he has declared a season of irreversible fruitfulness upon us.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. Yesterday we looked at beautiful things from the second chapter. We saw that the real trade mark of the gospel is when carnally minded people actually deem what you preach as though you are promoting sin, which was the case of the Apostle.

And we saw that many today are frustrating the grace of God by going back to works salvation which actually is rather a sin against God.

Look at how the apostle begins to address this in the third Chapter;

Galatians 3:1
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

At first glance, when I saw this it sounded harsh to me, “O foolish Galatians? But this is not an insult, it is a declaration of their fallen state. They had left the place of wisdom and have now fallen into folly. Frustrating the grace of Christ by going back to the works of the Law is foolishness.

Then the Apostle says “who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth”

Observe carefully the word “bewitched.” A lot of people think witchcraft is just dark magic or some enchantment or divination. The most dangerous witchcraft and the hardest to overcome is the one found in our churches and right on our pulpits.

The Apostle Paul calls taking people back to live under works as bewitchment. You can actually be under witchcraft in the church and never find out because it is rapped up in the name of Jesus.

See, the devil knows that there is no direct enchantment or divination against the believer who knows his standing in Christ.

Numbers 23:23
Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!

Hence, the real bewitchment towards us is when the enemy adulterates the scriptures. When we are finely deceived by mixing the old with new and sending us to go back to works after we have been saved by the grace of Christ is the strongest deception. This is so because it comes with some former truths.

The scriptures can be wrongly divided to prove their notion but that is the old truth. We are to be established in the present truth which is salvation by grace from start to finish.

2 Peter 1:12
Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth.

So the Apostle says they were bewitched and were no longer obeying the truth of the Gospel. And what is this truth?

“Before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath being evidently set forth, crucified among you?

This is the truth, that the Apostle by the power of the Holy Ghost had presented the Gospel to them with evidence from the scriptures that Jesus had died for them fulfilling every demand of the law for their sakes, so why go back to trying to earn righteousness or trying to deserve God’s favour by the power of the flesh?

Galatians 3:2
This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Wow what a question! The Apostle asks the Galatian believers, how were you born again? How did you receive Jesus? How did you receive the Spirit?
Tell me, how many laws or how many works did you do to deserve Jesus?

How did you receive the Spirit? Was it by works? Or you heard that Jesus died for your sins and you believed and received him?

Was it by keeping the Law or by just hearing and receiving?

The answer to these questions is a breaker of the religious bewitchment. The Apostle is trying to establish here that if you did not do anything but received salvation just by hearing and believing, what makes you think you can now deserve something by your efforts?
If you received Jesus as a free gift from God, then it is the same way God gives you all things freely. If you received Jesus freely then all things are also to be received freely.

Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Then he continues,

Galatians 3:3
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

This is where I encountered the Lord after my journey in works salvation. I had begun the race all in the Spirit. I received the Spirit of Christ, was born again but now I thought I was to be made perfect by the flesh. I thought works were the way to perfection.
I wanted to make myself perfect so God could use me. I didn’t know I was being foolish and walking under religious bewitchment……

I will fully share my experience under the law with us tomorrow…

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw some that had come to the place of taking over his territory and seeing the completion of the work of God upon his life. This person has toiled and waited but is now face to face with his breakthrough but it seems there is a warfare arising against the finality of things.

When I saw this I heard the Lord say “I AM Spreading out my Peace to you” and the sense surrounding me was that of the peace of God bringing stillness to the turbulent winds.

Isaiah 66:12
For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.

Then the Lord said “I AM Extending My Peace to you like a river. My Perfect well being poured upon you to still the turbulent winds.

Do not be afraid, do not turn your face off from the race for you are already in the hour of your miracle. Glory comes to you now. Many will come to celebrate your victory as I now move on your behalf, Spreading out my peace to you.”

My Plans For You Stand

It is the hour of fruitfulness. God is laying off things for the new. Don’t look to the foregoing but look ahead for it is now a time of fruitfulness.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. We saw in our last discussion that even the first Apostles were accepted only by grace and Paul would not let even Peter to lead any away from the grace of Christ.

Now in the next verse the Apostle opens up something very pivotal. Something that has been the stronghold of the religious people. A view that when grace is preached or when men seek to the grace of Christ it is a license to sin.

Galatians 2:17
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Observe the first statements carefully, “but if, while we seek to be justified by Christ”

When we declare ourselves as totally unrighteous, feeble and without strength. When we declare that we are totally insufficient. When we totally disregard works to earn salvation but seek to be justified only in Christ, something is popped out from the eyes of those cooperating with the devil as our accusers.

The Apostle says “we ourselves are found sinners”

This is it, when we no longer practice the lifestyle of the law,our emptiness is exposed and many instead of seeing that we only seek to be justified in Christ find us sinners according to the standard of their law.

This is not new, it has been there since the day of the Apostles. Paul preached the grace of Christ so laudably in his day to a level he was been talked about as giving people license to sin or saying that people should do evil that good may come.

Romans 3:8
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

This is the trade mark of the true gospel. When people actually think you are preaching sin that is when you have the trade mark the Apostle Paul had. When you actually preach the gospel, even you the preacher you are out of the way, you are appear as you truly are, a sinner only looking to Christ for Justification and many that are carnally minded deem it as promoting lasciviousness.

But the Apostle ends it by saying “God forbid”

That’s never the truth. It is rather a declaration of the true state of man before God. A promotion of humility and a need to look to Jesus for genuine salvation.

In the book of God, the sinner today is the advocator of the law contrary to our modern perspectives. Look at what the apostle says in the following verse;

Galatians 2:18-19
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

Observe the first verse carefully “For if I build again the things I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.”

Bringing back the works of the law which is already fulfilled by Christ is sinning against Christ. We have been delivered from the law by the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. Going back to live under the law is actually a sin against God. It is a transgression of the law of faith in Christ Jesus.

We have accepted a religious culture without going to scripture to confirm. If we build again the works of the the law we are actually transgressing against Jesus. Contrary to popular beliefs that the gospel of grace is a promotion of sin, going back to live under the works of the law is actually a sin. A very fatal one for that matter.

Because just like the apostle says “I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.”

That you may see this, You do not live unto God when you living under the works the law. When you are under the law, you are living unto yourself and not unto God. What you are doing is called self worship. Humanism is what you are practicing. You are worshiping your abilities to fast, tithe, pray many times a day, self abasement and every other ritual we do to prove to God we deserve a blessing.

But when we become dead to the law, we live unto God. We now live to the will and honour of God. We now bear fruit unto God. By the grace of God upon us we live soberly, righteously, not to ourselves but to the awe of the goodness of God upon our lives. God takes the glory in all we do because we genuinely know and live depending only on the arm of the Lord.

This why the apostle totally eliminates himself giving glory to Christ living in him;

Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

The Apostle says “I am crucified with Christ” I am united to him in his death. He was crucified in my stead. But today I am still alive but the truth is this, the old me has gone. I am spiritually regenerated. My old spirit which was the real me has being yanked out and today I have received a new Spirit, Jesus living on my inside. Even the faith I live by is not my own. It is his faith living and working on my inside. I am totally eliminated. I no longer live bur God lives in me.

All this is by the Love of Christ manifested through the Cross. This is why he says;

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

May we not frustrate the grace of God by trying to be righteous by our works. When we do this, we render the work of Christ on the cross a vain thing.

I was telling our congregation the other day that what many are going through is not a matter of prayers. God is showering grace upon grace upon many of us but we are rather frustrating the Grace of God. Instead of resting and enjoying the free gift we have left the place of our sufficiency to an empty place where we are being found in ourselves. When God comes to bless us in him, we are not there, we desire rather to be found in ourselves having our own righteousness which comes by works. This ought not to be.

Beloved of the Lord, let us return to him that loves us. Let us come back to our stronghold. Rest in Christ, wave upon wave of God’s grace comes to you as you are completely aware of your helpless state but looking to him for the grace that comes through Christ Jesus.

We will continue tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Child of God, I saw that he had a dream in his heart which the Lord had put there. But I also saw that it looked far fetched since his circumstances matched not with the picture God had placed in his heart.

Surprisingly, I saw the Lord appear and asked him to walk with him, as they walked together, I saw how the Lord began to pay the bills….

Isaiah 46:10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Then the Lord said “I have declared my plan to you. I have put my dreams in your heart. Do not be afraid of the cost of executing my plans for you.

I AM God, even your God. I need no help to fulfill my counsel. Even now I say to you, my plans for you stand! And I AM doing all my pleasure.”

What You See is Already a Past Season

It is a moment to be resolute in looking above. Christ our life, Christ our all is the way out of the entwined circumstances.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. What establishes us in the faith is a deeper revelation of Scripture. The book of Galatians is full of the revelation of the Lord.
We saw in our last discussion that God accepts no man’s person, that we are only accepted in Christ Jesus. This is why we are all equal in the eyes of God.

The Apostle Paul now begins to open up something a little staggering in his encounter with the Peter the Apostle who has being with Lord physically and was before he him in the Lord, he says;

Galatians 2:11
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

Paul withstanding Peter? This Peter whom Paul wrote earlier that he seemed to a pillar of the gospel.

And Peter to be blamed? How can Paul come from behind and withstand the one Jesus said to feed his flock?

A lot of people think the gospel should always be preached as though we are petting people. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. It does not matter who is preaching it, if it is wrongly delivered it has the capacity to ruin the life of a Christian. This is why Paul wouldn’t allow anything against the the gospel even from Peter.

Matters of the gospel are not to be taken likely. In our today’s mentality this will be viewed as arrogance since most people put little value on the word but a higher value on personalities.

Now why was Peter to be blamed?

Galatians 2:12-13
For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.

It was all a matter of the Law and Grace. Peter knew he was saved by grace and not by the observation of the Jewish law yet “FOR FEAR OF MEN” deprived himself of the freedom in Christ as though salvation were by works.

Observing the law before the gentiles to make himself somewhat more special before others. Fear of being criticized was rather a promotion of self. This is why you must be ready to be persecuted, criticized by religious people if you must enjoy the freedom in Christ.

Paul became vexed in the Spirit, he knew that not even the Apostles had any special standing with God apart from the grace of Christ.

Galatians 2:14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

Observe carefully the first sentence “I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel”

Firstly, they were living a lifestyle of lies. They were actually not in the truth of the gospel. Their lifestyle was actually fighting against the gospel. This is the Apostle Peter leading people away from the grace of Christ.

And look at Paul’s response;

“I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?”

Before them all, not hiddenly, Paul spoke. Now he explains the truth about Peter’s life. Peter a Jew “livest after the manner of Gentiles and not as do the Jews”

Wow this speaks Volumes. The Jews were given the law, the Gentiles never had the law. The Gentile never knew what the law was because it was never given to them. What was taken to the gentiles was not moses but Jesus. They were not given the law to be saved by it but they were offered Jesus and they accepted Jesus and looked to his grace without any Jewish law.

Peter was living like the gentiles, he was not living under the law but now he was compelling others to live under the Jewish law.

This is what is happening on our pulpits today. A lot of people preach another gospel which is actually no gospel, the works message and yet they themselves don’t practice the law. They preach works but don’t measure up to God’s standard, yet they make it look as though others must be perfect through works.

I had some elders in a Church call me and sit me down, advising me that the Gospel of grace is for the matured Christians as though they are two kinds of gospels. This was the mistake of Peter to which we can all see the Apostle Paul addressing.

You can’t live by grace and preach works to others that grace is for matured Christians. You can’t compel others to live under works why you live in the grace of God. This is demonic, God accepts no man’s person. What makes you think he can accept your living by grace and others by works?

Without the gospel of grace we all remain infants in Christ. What actually brings us to maturity is the grace Christ and not the Law. What builds us up and gives us the inheritance is the grace of Christ and not works;

Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
Hence depriving anyone of the word his grace is depriving them of their inheritance.

Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

O this is rich, the Apostle now tells Peter that he knows that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by the faith of Jesus.

Then the Apostle goes on to say ” Even We” have believed in Jesus Christ. That we might be Justified by the faith of Christ.

The Apostle puts no demarcation as many put today. He says even we the Apostles, we stand by faith in the finished work of Christ and nothing else, hence there is no need depriving anyone of his inheritance in Christ.

Then he says “For By The Works Of the Law – there shall no flesh be justified.”
He says no flesh. As long as we are flesh, no flesh. Black flesh, red flesh, white flesh any kind of flesh cannot be justified before God by works. But there is a way out, We all are eternally justified by faith in Christ Jesus.

Have a confident expectation of good, you may not be qualified before men, but God has justified you, qualifying you for the inheritance.

We will continue tomorrow;

In an encounter with the Lord I Heard “You will now become very fruitful” when I heard this the sense surrounded me of someone that has toiled for long and now it seems as though things are not advancing at the desired pace. You have been asking questions.

The Lord spoke and said “What you see is already a past season. Be strong and courageous, for I have blessed you and You Will Now Become Very Fruitful”

Deuteronomy 28:11
And the LORD shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

My Vision For You is Now Speaking

The wisdom of God is manifesting during these times of the boisterous winds. God is eternally securing our confidence in the word and not in what we see. Genuine faith is surfacing. To trust God in good times is not faith, But to trust God in the dark, that is faith. This is so precious in the eyes of our God. Your beauty is now being unveiled in the eyes of your God.

Yes, gleanings from the book of Galatians. Yesterday we saw that God’s love for us is unconditional, the greater the weight of our sins, the greater grace and glory he has reserved for us.

Now we will move to the second chapter as the apostle Paul begins to open his encounter when he went up by revelation to Jerusalem where Judaism was the order of the day. Judaism (The belief that salvation is by works) was their view and they were against something the apostle opens up;

Galatians 2:4-5
And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage: To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

These religious men, false teachers came into the Church to do something, observe what the apostle says was there mission “to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ.”

Today it is as though to be free in Christ is a sin.

The Apostle says, we are free from the bondage of the law, into the glorious liberty of the sons of God. In Christ there is liberty. We are free to approach the thrice holy God at times just as we are without a plea, our plea remains the cross of Jesus.

A lot of us do not live freely thinking God is just standing by counting all our faults. That’s no liberty. When you truly understand the gospel, it is a call to liberty.

A lot of people having this thinking which has come from our religious doctrines that the Gospel is a call to bondage, no, never, it is a call to freedom. A life of no condemnation in Christ. We are rather in bondage to the love of God.

This is often painful to those under the law, they desire that all men suffer as they do hence, we hear “that they might bring us into bondage”

Mere religion is a spirit of bondage. Do good get good, do bad get bad is not different from the teachings of other religions. You don’t need any revelation to preach this kind of thing. If you are good God will bless you, if you are bad God will curse you is the same message in every other religion’s acclaimed holy book.

But the gospel is different, the gospel of God is glorious. we must fight to restore the earth back to the gospel. The good news of the grace of God showered on an ungodly man. This defies logic.

The apostle fought for their liberty to which we must do. “To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour.
These people with their teachings only come to defy the true gospel” that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.”

Now there is another thing so beautiful in the next verse which the apostle opens up;

Galatians 2:6
But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me: God accepteth no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me:

See this, there is just one peice we will look at from the above verse, the apostle says “God accepteth no man’s person”

Our external circumstances, our trophies, our persons are not accepted by God. God does not accept any man’s person. Whosoever you are, you cannot be accepted by God. God has never accepted any man’s person and will never accept any man’s person.

But pastor I am a good man, I have never tasted alcohol, I have not even tasted coffee. I have never cursed any one all my life, never used sway words. I have kept my thoughts so pure ever since I was born, I have never lusted after a women or man ever in my heart. Pastor I am very serious, I tithe, I fast, I pray long hours to my God. I help the poor, I honour people, I am sure a good person. Thank you for making the world a better place but God accepts no man’s person.

Then how can we be accepted? There is only one way out, the God-Man, we are accepted only in the beloved son of God.

Ephesians 1:6
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

God accepts the person of himself as our personality. Beside God there is none, hence God accepts only himself. There is only one good in whom we are all accepted. This is why there is nothing you and I can do to be accepted by God. Outside of Jesus God accepts no man’s person.

But pastor the patriarchs, Abraham, Jacob and the rest, God accepted them before Jesus came?

Since the creation of the world God has never accepted any man’s person. All men that have been accepted from the old covenant to the new are accepted by the blood of Jesus.

All the sins of the patriarchs that God forbore, all past sins were paid for by the blood of Jesus that the Justice of God be confirmed before his creation. Their sacrifices were a pointer to their faith in the death of Christ.

Romans 3:25-26
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

There is no need trying, God is same yesterday, today and forever. As long as he is God, you will never be accepted, only in the beloved are we accepted. Who wants to be the best sinner that God rejected?

On the other hand, what a wonderful privilege to be accepted in God. A great confidence to always approach the throne to plead my case. As long as the beloved is accepted, I am Holy, unblamable and irreproachable in his sight.

Colossians 1:22
In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Child of God, this child of God had been accepting the declaration of God’s word over her life for a long time but the full manifestation was not coming forth. I saw this her become frustrated as God was about stepping into the scene.

I saw a person delivering words to this Child of God but the reception was not there out of hope differed. But I saw that these words were now an introduction of God’s fulfilment of his word upon her life.

Then I was reminded of the Story of Sarah, how she laughed at the promises out protracted waiting, and again I was led to Habakkuk;

Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Then the Lord said “This is the appointed time, this is your time of life. Do not call my word a lie, though it has tarried, it is no lie.

Have a confident expectation of good, accept the word, wait for it. It will no longer tarry, for now the word comes to reality in your life. This is the hour of fulfilment. My vision for you is now speaking.

It is a Temptation Against My Word

Just keep looking to Jesus as your portion. The warfare is tough but it is all because we are already claiming the territory.

Yes, gleanings from the book of Galatians. We looked at something great yesterday that the gospel is not pleasing to the flesh, because it is only after God. We cannot please God and men at the same time. We move in the Spirit and those in the Spirit come into koinonia with us, this is how God has willed it.

Now to day we will continue from the book verses;

Galatians 1:13-15
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it: And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.

Paul is a powerful example of the demonstration of the grace of God. Before he met Jesus, he had zeal for the Lord but his zeal was without knowledge. You can actually have zeal for the Lord and be absolutely wrong without the revelation of Jesus.

O Paul is a great demonstration of the exceeding riches of God’s grace. He says ” I persecuted the Church of God and wasted it”

A waster of the Church redeemed to become the greatest apostle of all time.

Paul consented to the killing of Stephen. Agreeing to the killing and assisting the killers in making them very comfortable in doing the Job by holding their raiment;

Acts 22:20
And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.

It does not matter what you have done. This is the murder of Holy Spirit filled, miracle working disciple of the Lord. Yet The same man that was in charge of wasting the Church was given grace beyond any other Apostle. He declares that God did this for a reason;

1 Timothy 1:15-16
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

Wow, the Apostle says God lavished mercy and longsuffering upon him as a pattern to those that would be saved after him. It does not matter what you have done. The grace of God is sufficient and exceeds all our sins.

You may have committed multiple abortions, murdered, stolen, lied, etc but the grace of God can swallow all of that up when you turn to Jesus. In fact the greater your sins, the greater grace is reserved for you;

Romans 5:20
Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

This is why Paul was the greatest of all the Apostles. He became the greatest because he was the chief of sinners. Where sin increased, grace was superabundant.

If not for the demonstration of God’s superabundant grace upon my life no one would have ever believed I am a called of God. This writings go round the world so many may not know, but I truly have obtained mercy.

I used to be a very notorious secular musician, very vulgar, was into drugs and living a reckless lifestyle.

I was born as an all or nothing kind of person. If I am into it, I am all in, if I am not, I am all out. I grew and became the most famous around my state and beyond. Now if not for the grace of God manifesting himself in power and the word, no one would have ever believed I am called of God.

I have had few cases of people who heard that someone like me has accepted Jesus and they went to accept him thinking if someone as sinful as I am has been accepted, then their sins are no case really.

My friend God loves you unconditionally, before your sins came to being you were already forgiven, chosen right from your mothers womb. This is what the Apostle says;

Galatians 1:15-16
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

When he was called was not when he was separated, he says he was separated right from his mother’s womb. But the Lord had to let him go through all of that to build up gratitude in him when the son of God is revealed IN him.

God knew you before you were born. He knew all the sins you would commit before you ever did them. while we were yet sinners Christ died for us, much more being now reconciled shall we be saved by his life.

Look to Jesus, the unmatched grace of God is awaiting you. The greater your sins, the greater grace God has reserved for you!!

See you tomorrow….

In an encounter with the Lord, I saw a Christian, she was in the will of God, holding unto the word of God. But I saw the enemy creating a lot of things against what she believed of the Lord, it was as though her experience was in contradiction with what she totally believed of the word of the Lord.

As I wondered about this, I heard the Lord say “It is a temptation against my word, do not let go, do not be offended, but keep my word, you will surely bear fruits”

Mark 4:17,20
And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended…

…And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred.

I AM Giving You Favour in the Sight of Men

The door of promotion has being opened, the Lord is promoting many in the BODY right now which is the reason for the intense warfare. It is a strategic moment to avoid discouragement, Spiritually you are stepping on new ground.

Yes, gleanings from the Book of Galatians. Yesterday we saw that only one gospel exists in heaven and on the earth, the gospel of God’s grace. And we saw that the apostle put a double curse on anyone preaching anything outside of the grace of Christ.

Then he opens up something very important and worthy of note in the next verse;

Galatians 1:10
For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

Doing God’s pleasure, following God’s will is antagonistic to persuading or pleasing men. It is either you are pleasing men or you are pleasing God.

The Apostle asks, do I seek to please men? Then he answers with an eye opener,”for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. “

I have learnt this by revelation and experience, hence I do not commit myself to anyone neither do I seek to be accepted by anyone even if people cheer what I say a thousand times. I am only following my master and he may some day lead me to say some things that may be offensive to your doctrine but scriptural and beneficial to others. If I am committed to you, your Withdrawer (just like they did to Christ when he spoke on eating his flesh) may affect my emotions. Hence, the doors of my heart are permanently shut to man’s approval.

I am a slave to Jesus, I want to be free to say what he wants me to say, how and when he wants it, regardless of man’s opinion or acceptance. Look at this Wonderful quote from Charles Spurgeon;

You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men. God will never bless us if we wish to please men, that they may think well of us – Charles H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1932.

This is not just for preachers, it is an escape route from being in bondage to man’s pinions. Man pleasing is slavery. It will help you overcome heart breaks from people’s disapproval of you, consequently you will be over depression.

Then Apostle goes on to to say;

Galatians 1:11
But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

Observe carefully the last Part “not after man”

Until God deals with a man the gospel is never pleasing to man’s ego. We all have an inborn desire to be successful at all we do. If any man desires to be a failure in life there is something wrong with him.
Hence, we do not readily accept a gospel that tells us we are completely unprofitable except for the cross. This gospel is after God. After the exaltation of the name of the most high God and not after the encouragement of self righteousness. It diminishes the works of man and exalts the righteousness of God.

Then the Apostle says;

Galatians 1:12
For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Wow, the apostle says he did not receive this gospel from man, that he was not taught it. then how did he get the gospel? He says “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

This is why we hear him praying for the church at Ephesus;

Ephesians 1:17
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

I used to be against what I preach today. Very highly against the gospel of grace. I was taught it was a license to sin. Until my understanding was opened, until I had an encounter with the Lord which totally transformed my life, which I will share with us as we progress.

Until the Spirit gives the revelation, the original gospel cannot just be accepted through teaching. Until Jesus reveals himself to a man he will forever be blind to the gospel even when saved.

I pray the Lord Jesus reveal himself unto us even more, I pray the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the Lord be granted unto as many as are right now reading this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In an encounter with the Lord ” I saw some people held hostage by a kidnapper, these people were helpless under his power and threats but there was one among them he had great favour towards. I saw this one picked out for favour from the rest of the hostages.

Genesis 39:21-23
But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

Then the Lord said “Do not be afraid, your God is with you. I am showing you mercy, giving you favour in the sight of men.

This is the moment of your lifting, I say to you, I have placed you in my mercy and favour and now all you do shall prosper.

I AM making whatsoever you do to prosper for your God is with you”

You are Bringing Forth Wonderfully This Season

It is a moment to not consider the deadness of things. The dying of things is an indication that resurrection life is surfacing.

Yes, gleanings from the book of Galatians. Yesterday we gleaned from verse three to five of chapter one. we looked at how the death of Jesus has delivered us from this present evil world. Today we will continue as the next verse opens up something very remarkable;

Galatians 1:6
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

Ho! Marvel? Yes, the Apostle begins by saying I marvel, it is a shock to me that you have been “removed from him”

Observe carefully the words of the Apostle, he says you are first removed from him before being removed from the gospel.

The wrong message can actually cut you out of your inheritance here on earth. What you receive has the potential to establish you in him or to remove you from partaking of the blessings of being in him.

Then he goes on to say you have been removed from him “that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel”

Called into the grace of Christ? Yes, the Apostle says we are called into the grace of Christ. Hence, he marvels that the Galatia churches were now removed from the grace of Christ.

Now observe the last statement “unto another gospel” this is awesome. Paul says the true gospel is the grace of Christ. That they were called into the gospel of the grace of Christ but were now removed from him that called them into this gospel of the grace of Christ to another gospel. Believers are called into one gospel, the gospel of the grace of Christ.

Now what is the grace of Christ? The grace of Christ says salvation, every blessing comes to us by grace and not by works. It comes to us only by faith in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. We receive all things freely by the righteousness of Jesus. Hence, it is the underserved, unearned, unmerited and unconditional favour of God on a bankrupt sinner.

Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

The above scripture says grace and works are antagonistic. It is either by grace or by works. If it be by grace then there should be no more works. It is purely by grace. But if it is by works, then add no grace to it. Earn your salvation by works. Earn every blessing by your qualification.

God does not help those who help themselves, God helps the helpless. There is an unscriptural saying that “God helps those that help themselves” this is false and demonic.

God requires no help from humanity. We are in bankruptcy, we are all criminals before the justice of God. Hence, our salvation can only be through grace, the underserved favour of God upon us.

Grace + Works = Works
Grace + Nothing = Grace
Grace + Nothing = 100% Jesus.

Before the throne of God our plea will always be Jesus. Just as I am without a plea, but the blood and blood of the Messiah alone is our plea even forever.

This is the gospel of the grace of Christ, the gospel of what Christ has done freely for sinners. Paul was now shocked that the churches were removed from him that called them into this gospel of grace unto another.

I am also shocked, I marvel that many of us have been fooled. We have been removed from grace of Christ unto another gospel. Today when many hear the gospel of grace they are looking at it as though it were heresy or a new doctrine. The enemy has entered the church and has thwarted gospel.

Galatians 1:7
Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

The gospel is the grace of Christ and nothing else, every other thing is a perversion as you can see above.

Observe the statement “which is not another” there is no other gospel in heaven or under heaven but the gospel of the grace of Christ. Every other gospel is man made and from the devil. If it is not all by Jesus then what else?

Paul says these people are trouble makers “there be some that trouble you”
Today a lot of people reason upside down. They think grace preachers are trouble makers. This is a demonic deception, no one can ever deserve the goodness of God.

Hence, the Apostle says it is a perversion of the gospel “and would pervert the gospel of Christ” observe again from the forgone statement that he says this grace of Christ is the gospel of Christ and nothing else. we have been cheated for years.

Today the one and true gospel is often viewed as heresy. Religious minds won’t let Jesus reign in his church. Conditions upon conditions to earn a blessing, but look at what the Apostle says as it pertains to those thwarting or shifting from this simple message of the grace of Christ;

Galatians 1:8
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

A lot of people read this casually and just passover it and continue on with their doctrines.

But observe carefully the words “though we or an angel from heaven’ an angel from heaven not from the pit. Though we (the apostles) or even if an angel comes down from God in heaven and preaches any other gospel than the gospel of the grace of Christ ” Let him be accursed “

A lot of people have been cheated, when they see miracles happening around someone they tend to accept every false doctrine, thinking if they were not right God would not have moved in power in their lives. That’s a wrong notion. Healings, miracles, prophecy etc. All these are gifts of grace and they work anywhere as they are with you always.

I go into a saloon often, after barbing my hair I would ask if anyone were sick or were feeling a pain. I would pray for them under loud circular music and they would receive instant miracles. They would be healed at the spot under the loud vulgar circular songs.

These things are gifts of grace. They validate your call and the word but they do not validate that everything you teach is correct.

This is very serious that the Apostle puts a double curse on any one preaching anything outside the gospel of grace.

Galatians 1:9
As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Today many people think grace preachers are the accursed. They think upside down by the spirit of religion.

This is why when people attack me, I can only pray for them, let the curse be lifted from their eyes. Let the veil be thorn off their eyes. I better be cursed by men than be accursed of God.

I do not even deserve to be called a child of God, I know what I have done, so why lie to anyone?. I stand only by the grace of God, so why I deceive another? It is all of grace. It is all of Jesus.

See you tomorrow…..

In an encounter with the Lord I saw a very dwarf vision, “I saw a woman give birth to a male child”

As I kept thinking on this, I was led by the Spirit to;

Isaiah 66:7,9
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child….
…Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.

Then the Lord said “Forget the questions, I am not behind your pain. What I begin, I finish. I won’t leave you where you are. I have brought you this far, will I not cause you to bring forth?

Do you think I have already paid the price only to turn back and stop the manifestation? See, I am with you, and If I am with you, no one can be against you.

Do be be afraid, before you know it, it will be over. You are bringing forth Wonderfully this season.”

Blessings in Christ.
