WHO AM I? – THE BELOVED.

The bible has a central theme which is God’s love for mankind. I asked a lot of people what the first memory verse they learnt as kids even before they began to read the bible. For most people the response was John 3:16 “for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” And this verse is one verse that pops in my head first whenever I'm asked to give memory verses. I wondered why this verse was the first verse most folks knew, then I heard this in my spirit ‘the first thing my child needs to know is how much I love him/her.’ Then to really understand this love I also heard ‘personalise this verse’. “For God so loved ME, that he gave his only begotten Son, that if I believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” After doing this I felt like melting, what manner of love is this that the very best of heaven was given to me. I cried because I was so touched, even before we were born, although God knew we were going to be sinners He still gave up his darling Son for us. That is why it is only the power of God’s love that leads one to repentance. Above all, this love cannot be compared to any not even to the love our parents give us.

Although our parents love us, they still get angry at us, but God CANNOT and will NEVER be angry with you, because the finished work of Jesus Christ has caused God to be perpetually on your side forever. Rom5:8-9 “But God commendeth his love towards us in that while we yet sinners Christ died for us much more then, being now justified by his blood, WE SHALL BE SAVED FROM WRATH THROUGH HIM”. Hallelujah! We've been saved from wrath through him Christ, and God is faithful to what His Son did on the cross, we have been made a people after God’s heart, we are his Beloved!

Psalm 23 is one portion of scripture that describes the love of God. In that chapter you’ll see something wonderful there. God does everything, that’s His kind of love, nothing for man to do; He is our shepherd, He is our guide, He is our provider, He is our comfort, He is the restoration for our souls and leads us in the paths of righteousness. Now in vs 4 you’ll see something amazing. “yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me…” this is the only verse were man did something and man missed it by walking through the valley of the shadow of death, but the good news is God is still with man even in his sins. It is the love of God that leads one to repentance. The moment a sinner embraces God’s love, sin loses its grip.

You my friend are God’s beloved, always walk in that consciousness, your waking up thought should be God loves me dearly. As you become conscious of who you are you begin to exhibit the love nature with no effort on your part, because love is your nature.

In the next post, the Holy Spirit will guide us to understanding how the power of God’s love can help protect and maintain relationships and also help live a victorious life.

God loves you dearly.

WHO AM I?

Hey guys, i really want to share with you this great truth that has changed my life forever. In February 2012, I heard these words in spirit. “In the new birth, you know what you've been born out of. Do you know what you've been born into?” I was a little younger and curious what these meant, and the Holy Spirit began to make me understand that Christ did not just come to deliver us from sin and leave us. The redemptive work of Christ was complete that was why after He redeemed us from sin He established a new life, brought us into this new life of right standing with God and the blessing, oh what a salvation!

Gal 3:13 "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us: for it is written, cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:” This verse tells us what we've been redeemed from; the curses of the law. Read Deut28:15-68 those are the curses. Reading that you’ll know that Christ redeemed us from a whole lot of curses; sickness, poverty and spiritual death.

To show the completeness of Christ’s redemptive work we go down to verse 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.” After being redeemed from sin God gave to mankind the blessings of Abraham and the promise of the Holy Spirit (the anointing to excel).

I like the way Paul puts it in Colossians 1:12-13 “giving thanks to the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son:”

In the new birth God has qualified us for the blessing, Hallelujah! Therefore no man no demon can stop me from the blessing. That’s why when I pray I'm always expecting a result. In the new birth, there was a translation, a change of levels, we were moved from darkness and moved to Zion. This kingdom of his dear son entails us living the fulfilment of God’s kingdom here on earth; living the best kind of life; the healthy and wealthy life. When you read on vs14 we also have the forgiveness of sins Glory!

And God said this is who you are;

·         You are my Beloved.

·         You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

·         You are the healthy ones.

·         You are the wealthy ones.

·         You are the anointed ones (you've got power from the Holy Ghost to bring to manifestation the realities of your redemption).

In further series we’ll let the Holy Spirit guide us more into this truth as we study more of who we are in Christ. The consciousness of who you are in Christ is what makes you live above sin and condemnation.

God loves you dearly.
