Christ is the end of the Law for Righteousness...........

This is one of the biggest verse of scriptures; absolutely mind blowing! This scripture is from Romans 10:4, 'For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.'. Do you know the gravity of it's implication? I explain what it means. Boy, I am giddy! In the Old testament, God promised whosoever that would obey his laws certain blessings because they had attained righteousness by their works. So you have amazing blessings in Deuteronomy 28, The Book of Psalms etc. All these had conditions. What God says now is that, Christ is the fulfillment of these conditions for righteousness and the blessings that come with it, for us that have believed. So, we can look at the Divine Largesse of the Old testament and declare that they are ours! For instance, Psalm 5:12, 'For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.' That's mine, because Jesus Christ has fulfilled the conditions necessary to make me righteous! What a Life! Thanks a million, Lord Jesus! #Dominion #GreaterGlory

Are you frustrating God?

The first thing that comes to most minds when this statement is made are the sins that make God angry with us! Surprisingly, the opposite is true! Paul says in Galatians 2:20, 'I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.' Frustrating God is rejecting his free gift of grace and opting to reach him by your good works! God's dream is for him to work in you his good pleasure-Philippians 2:14! Let grace work in you as you accept all he says you are in Christ and live by the Word conscious of his unconditional love for you! Glory to God for this! #GreaterGlory

Bound to Righteousness!

One of the most poignant thoughts in God's Word is found in Romans 6:18, 'You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.' (NIV). Have you ever thought of yourself as bound to righteousness. When people gripe and complain that they can't seem to get over any habit, I rejoice exuberantly knowing, I am dead to sin and bound to righteousness; the only thing I can really do is to please God. I am bound to do right! How does this work? Simple! Romans 6:11, 'In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.' (NIV). Do this and God's word will make this practical realities for you! What a joy to know that in Christ, I am a slave to righteousness! Wow, sin's dominion is broken! I am bound to righteousness! #GreaterGlory

The Big 'thing' about Christianity!

We need to understand the big 'thing' about Christianity! This is 'Christ in you' the hope of glory! Until we understand this, Christianity becomes a drag, a bore and a burden. The moment we understand this, our prayers cease to be ineffective babblings but Words of divine power. Church services become caucus meetings of the God-Kind! Bible study times become moments of transportational transformation as we observe the Mirror of God! All these become the character of our lives, because, Christ in you is the hope of Glory! What a life!

God's operational headquarters!

The presence of God in the believer is not a religious concept but a literal reality! This is the big, unreligious 'thing' about Christianity! We are the 'BODY' of Christ; his primary medium of expression in this world! In other words, we are his operational headquarters. A Christian is one who's got Christ LIVING and REIGNING through him- Galatians 2:20! 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 tells us God's dream: to live and walk in us! He operates from us in his completeness, his totality! That's why in Ephesians 3:19 he wants us to be 'furnished with the SUM TOTAL of his TOTALITY'! What a blessed reality this is! #PresenceConsciousness #GreaterGlory

Are you putting a lie to Christ's work?

When we preach Grace, it's not just a 'feel-good' philosophy to ease man's battered conscience, it's actually the proclamation of the eternal efficacy of Christ's Work. I am amazed; disturbed at how many are, 'putting a lie to Christ's work'! When you emphasize good-works and 'Holy Living' as prerequisites to making heaven, you are not just, 'taking the fun out' of Christianity, you are actually doing something far more dangerous! You are implying that the Work of Christ is insufficient to set a man right before God. The end of this is that you are found a transgressor and you are in danger of Hell-fire. Emphasize the righteousness his blood has offered you; it'll give a good character on earth and secure eternity for you. It's by no other way! #GreaterGlory

JULY- THE MONTH OF THE OVERFLOW!

The first half of the year has been momentous! Indeed, God, by his Spirit is taking us from Glory to Glory in this special year of the Greater Glory! The Revelations of the Word granted us this year has been mind-blowing; the Word Works! We had God lead us in certain directions for each month. January, we were inspired to be 'Presence-Conscious', February, 'Love-Conscious', March was the month of Victory! He led us in April along the paths of Dominion! In May, it was the month of Epignosis; what a month it was! Then, came June, the Month of the Mirror! God has surpassed our expectations! As a ministry, we held several programs, notable among them was the DreamWorld Conference 2013 in the Month of April. The Video link is here http://youtu.be/fWnYF_Mx3F0 ! Glory to God! Now, he has brought us into July and our paths shine more gloriously! The Spirit of God declares July to be the Month of THE OVERFLOW! The Month of July, the month of the OVERFLOW, is a time where the Spirit of God will start us on an eternal traverse into the limitless borders of ZOE! The theme scripture is John 10:10 (AMPLIFIED), 'The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). God has brought us into Christ, a place of Completeness and a superabundance of all things. The Christ-life is the treasure in us whose excellency is of God- 2 Corinthians 4:7! It's a month where needs will be met with the OVERFLOW of what is necessary! You'd be OVERWHELMED by God's amazing OVERFLOW! May God acquaint you with the exceeding greatness of his power as you experience the Superabundant overflow of all good things in God! God bless you!
