DEAD TO SIN
“What shall we say then” shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein”. (Romans 6:1-2).
      Many believers are struggling today with sin because they are yet to come to term with the reality of their salvation. As a born again child of God, you no longer have problem with sin because the nature of sin has been replaced with the divine nature of righteousness. Most of us still struggle with sin because we are either misinformed or we lack sufficient information to this effect.
      According to our theme scripture, what does the bible mean by the phrase? “You are dead to sin”? It simply means that the power of over you has been completely destroyed, syphoned and emptied. It means sin shall not have dominion over you (Rom. 6:14) because “He that is dead is free from sin” (Rom. 6:7). The strength of sin is law which has been abolished by Jesus and this has completely rendered sin ineffective. “Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make of himself train one new man so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain enmity thereby” (Ephesians 2: 15-16)”. It is precisely evident that sin has been rendered powerless by Jesus’ victory over sin.
You don’t’ have to struggle with sin anymore feeling sorry and condemned for yourself but meditate and live consciously in the reality of who you are in Christ. If you make mistake, pray and ask Him for forgiveness, and pay attention on His righteousness. Practice doing the word of God, keep declaring the word that you are righteous and not a sinner, soon you will be free from sin and its consciousness.

Confession
I am not  ignorant of the truth that I am the righteous of God in  Christ . I am dead to sin living victoriously unto god. The nature of sin in me have been placed with that of divine righteousness. I am righteousness in Christ.


WE PASSIONATELY CARE ABOUT YOU
We believe there is a void in every person that only a relationship with God can fill. We’re not referring to finding religion or joining a particular church we are referring to having a relationship with your heavenly father through his son Jesus Christ. We believe that knowing him is the source of true peace and fulfillment in life we encourage you to pray thus: Jesus, I believe you died for me and rose from the dead I hereby confess you as my lord and savior. I receive the life of God into my spirit and now am born again.
Thank you lord jesus for the new life I have now in you. In Jesus name – amen.

                                                  January 29. “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11) The life that we’ve been called to live in Christ is the transcendent life. It is a life that’s far removed from failure and defeat. It is a life in the word of God. To manifest the glory and splendor of this life, the word of God should become an integral part of us; what we live by. At salvation, we became associates of the God-kind; we’re joint heirs with Christ. Why then should any Christian suffer defeat and pain? The problem is that we’ve not given the word of God its proper place in our lives. God gave us His word to live by. His word is the revelation of His will, nature and character an...

February 18. “The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available (dynamic in its working)” (James 5:16 Amp) The happenings in our environments and the world over calls for our importunity in prayer. Out of ignorance a lot of people are blaming God for certain occurrences in their lives. But if things must change in the direction of God’s original plans and purposes, then we must keep praying. God knows that there’s no situation a child of His cannot change because the divine power necessary to effect such change is already resident in you; it was deposited in you the moment you became born again. God doesn’t expect you to cry out for help or start complaining but He expects you to enforce your victory in the place of prayer. I Kings 17 tells us of Elijah’s  confrontation with Ahab the king where he said, “… As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my ...

                                                  January 19. “And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great” (Genesis 26:13) Child of God, your journey this year has been ordained only in one direction – upward and forward. This is exactly the way God has called you to live your life. He wants your life to be that of progressand advancement – not in theory but practically. It means that at the end of this year, success will be evidently seen in every area of your life. This is because as a joint heir with Christ, you have the nature to be absolutely successful. You must therefore make up your mind to develop a consciousness – a mentality that’s consistent with your personality in Christ. Bible says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). So, you must refuse thoughts of failure occupy your heart bec...
