Believe Right!

Believers, see the condition for our salvation in Romans 10:9-10: "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. ” In order to be saved, one must confess with his mouth the Lord Jesus and believe that God has raised Him from the dead. But why was Christ raised from the dead? What did He accomplish for us in His resurrection? God raising the Lord Jesus from the dead was not just because He could. His resurrection is the divine receipt showing that we who believe have been forgiven of all of our sins and made righteous by His "single sacrifice for sins, good for all time" (Hebrews 10:12.) This according to Romans 4:25- “Who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous." See the TPT: “Jesus was handed over ...

Believers, Grace, in the person of our Saviour Jesus Christ, saves from sin. See Matthew 1:21- "And she will have a Son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” God hates sin because it destroys the world that He so loved, so He sent His Son to save us from our sins. The world thinks that sinners love to wallow in their sins but most are looking for the Way out of sin. Grace stops sin! Just imagine what would have happened to the Samaritan woman at the well of Jacob if Jesus had yelled His disgust at her because of her sins. She had had five husbands and the guy she was shacking up with at the time was not her husband. The norm in many places of worship today would be to tell her to go and split up with her man-friend and do "deliverance" before Jesus can even give her an audience:) But Jesus never condemned her. No finger-wagging. No accusations as this is the job of the devil the Accuser. Jesus is Saviour. He saves from sin...

How the Accuser tries to twist this question to keep people busy trying to keep the law to get right with God and thus, away from God's saving grace! See Galatians 5:4: "For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace." Believers, please beware of Christ-professing but unbelieving establishments and preachers. The spirit of the anti-Christ is not anti-God. In fact, God and sinlessness can be central to their teaching but Christ and His finished work of our salvation are usually not. You only find our Saviour in the "in Jesus name" at the end of each prayer point. YOU must do all the work required to be set free. There is no free indeed here, only a never-ending list of things to do and what not to do in order to be free from curses, receive from our heavenly Father who gives us all things FREELY with Christ (Romans 8:32) and in order to remain in right-...

I've heard the question asked "Do Christians have to go to church?" As believers in Christ, we don't HAVE TO go to church; rather, we DESIRE TO GO WITH ALL OUR HEART and GET TO go to places where we can hear truths about our wonderful Jesus. The reason why going to some of these designated places of worship is such a big chore for many Christians, especially young people, is because something else, not the gospel, is being preached at many of such gatherings. Think about it: You have a friend who can tell you so much about a certain Someone who is so in love with you and wants to bless you with all that He has, even when everyone else has rejected you and all look upon you with condemnation and disgust because of your many sins and addictions; Someone who took all the bad that you deserve so that you can keep on getting all the good that He deserves. Someone who died for you and will never condemn you, judge you or wonder why you just don't want to stop sinni...

Believer, rest in Christ is not inactivity. Rest in Christ is Holy Spirit-directed activity. The Lord our Shepherd does it all, even our getting up from our beds in the morning, brushing our teeth and deciding on the type of moisturiser to use on our hair:) He says to us in Luke 12:6-7: "Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies? But God does not forget even one of them. 7 In fact, He even counts every hair on your head! So don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows." If God takes the time to number each hair on your head, hair that you cut off and some of which break off whenever you run a comb through it, what do you think He's doing with every detail of your life! Even your hair cream matters to Him because it affects your hair that He numbers:) He cares about every tiny detail of you. For the believer, it's all of Christ and none of self. But most of the time, His blessings in our lives are so supernaturally natural that we think we did good a...

Believers, have you ever wondered how the prophecy of Zechariah to Jeshua and Zerubbabel and the Jews' resumption and completion of the building of the Temple of God after years of inactivity applies to you and I in Christ today? It's the same prophecy from where we get "Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain!" The whole story is a picture of the effect our Abba Father's abundance of grace and His gift of righteousness to us in Christ. It shows us how, with these gifts, the Accuser (Satan's) accusations are useless/powerless against us. The story is recorded in the Book of Ezra but let's do quick a recap: God led Cyrus, the king of Persia, to send the Jews back to Jerusalem in Judah to rebuild the His Temple after 70 years of their captivity in Babylon, in fulfillment of the word of the Lord to Jeremiah. Zerubbabel, the governor of Judah and Jeshua, the high priest, along with the Jews that returned from the ca...
