John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches………..

Our opening scripture is by far one of the most beautiful descriptions of our relationship with Jesus. Jesus said, He is the vine while we are the branches. And the same life in the vine, that is the stem, is what is in the branches. This implies that the same life in Jesus is what is in us – we share in His life.

This is mind boggling; just thinking of this scripture makes you cry when you look at today’s church, how many are far removed from this life of Christ. Just take a look at the church and see the oppressions going on; it looks like all hell is broken lose and satan is running rampage in many quarters.

IT IS A QUESTION OF MOUNTAINS

Hebrews 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

The entire scripture is about two mountains: Mount Sinai and Mount Zion; it is about law and grace; and it is about faith versus works. You have to decide which mountain to pitch your tent. Will it be Sinai or Zion? Will it be grace or the law? There is no neutral ground. A mixture of the two will result in death. And if you cannot discern and clearly divide between law and grace, you will struggle in your understanding of the scriptures; and inevitably your walk with God will be greatly hampered.

Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Grace is extravagant favor from God to undeserving men. It is unmerited favor. It is God’s righteousness to sinful men as a gift at Christ’s expense. Anything that is extravagant is not reasonable or practical. And grace is not reasonable. I believe this is one reason a lot of folks finds it hard to receive the gospel of grace. To them it does not make sense. And they are right – it does not make sense. That is why you have to receive it by faith.

SHUT THE DOOR AGAINST THE DEVIL

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

Man is such a powerful being! When God created man, He gave him one powerful thing, will. The word "place" in the opening scripture is from the Greek word “topos” which means opportunity, right or place. Man has the right to choose righteousness or evil; he has the power to choose God or the devil. The extent of satanic operations in your life is largely determined by you. In the same vein, you are the only person that can determine how much of God’s grace that’s operative in your life. If we have the right understanding of the scriptures, we can actually reduce satan to a manageable size. This is truth!
