2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Right living and righteousness in the New Testament light are not synonymous. Right living is doing what is right while righteousness is God’s acceptance of sinful men through faith in the finished work of Christ; and it is a free gift. We do not live right to become righteous. On the contrary, we live right because we are righteous. Hence our right living is an outgrowth or product of the nature of righteousness we have received from God by faith.

This thinking is different from what most believers have believed over the years. For most believers, you have to live right in order to become righteous and accepted before God. But this is opposite of what Jesus brought to us. Christ became sin that we might be made the righteousness of God. God accepts us on the basis of the finished work of Christ. This acceptance is what empowers us to live right. We do not struggle to live right. It is our nature to live right.

THE PRIEST THAT SPEAKS

THE PRIEST THAT SPEAKS

Luke 24:50‭-‬51 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. KJV‬

The book of Saint Luke’s gospel opens with a dumb priest while it closes with a speaking priest. Scripture tells us that Zechariah the priest returned dumb from the temple after performing his duties. The people were waiting outside in the outer court for this priest to come and speak blessings over them. Unfortunately, their priest returned dumb hence no blessings that day.

In the closing chapter of the book of Luke, we are told about another priest after the order of Melchizedek, speaking blessings over His disciples while He departed from them to heaven. Hallelujah!

KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DELIVERED FROM

KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN DELIVERED FROM

Galatians 3:13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Our topic today I believe is very vital: knowing what you have been delivered from. Do you know what Jesus has delivered you from? If you don’t know them, you will be back in them. This is because satan will take advantage of your ignorance and afflict you; for lack of knowledge my people perish (Hosea 4:6). It is not the truth that really makes free but the knowledge of it that makes free.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

OUR UNION WITH CHRIST

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

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.

It is disheartening to know that many believers have pitched their tent on Mount Sinai. Sinai was the place God gave the law to Israel through Moses, the mediator of the Old Testament. Sinai was on fire; there was tempest and blast of trumpets; there was darkness; and Moses himself feared exceedingly. At the foot of Sinai 3000 men died when the law was given. This is why it is called the ministration of death. Why would anyone in his right mind advocate for us to keep the law? How could you pitch your tent on such a mountain? This is serious!
