Spiritual laws

Image
There are many spiritual laws in operation. You do well to know what some of them are. 1. Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus,  Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 2. Law of sin and death. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3. Law of works. Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 4. Law of Faith. Galatians 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, [doeth he it] by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 5. Royal law of love. What you want to be don...

Faith law II

Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Yesterday we learnt that faith is a law and it is predictable. Secondly it can be understood. Understanding it helps one to operate with it easily on a daily basis.  In today's blog we shall learn that some laws are greater than others and can supersede other laws for instance the law of lift once in operation can supersede the law of gravity. But that doesn't mean that gravity ceases to exist, it's still there. Gravity can only overcome lift and pull a plane or a bird down if there is a problem with the plane or a bird with its flying abilities which is enabling it to be in the air. Likewise we can also deduce that as long as a Christian keeps in the Word which is the word of faith, there are things which will never be an issue to them but once they cross some lines, they should expect a serious fall and problems since they are out of faith. I don't know if you...

Faith law I

Romans 3:27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith Faith is a spiritual force produced in a believer, released by words, and backed with corresponding actions. Faith is a law. Any law you ever know of is something that's predictable. If it's not predictable then it's was a mere phenomenon or an event but not universal in scope. Because it's universal, it means it can apply to all equally without segregation. There's no unfairness regarding its operation.  By a law being predictable it means when it's put to work, it will work the same way all the time. If it does not work, then there's something hindering it from happening. Gravity for example is also a law. It is the force that pulls objects towards each other. Understanding its workings makes life easy for you. The current aircrafts came about because men had started understanding the laws of Physics. Advances in the industry can only happen by more re...

Faith filled words

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Faith and its use should normal or like second nature to every believer. Think of it like learning a new skill such as driving. The first time one drives, they have to juggle many things at the same time. It's sometimes feels like they are not in control since it's a fresh experience and any mistake can cost their life. But once they learn the art of driving, they can even talk to a person on phone, engage in a deep conversation with other people in the car, listen to something on the radio etc.  We need to normalise the use of faith too because of its great importance. Faith when used well can mean life and death. When there's no solution in the natural, that is when you will realise that faith is important. For instance when no doctor can heal you, that should not be the time to get a hold of sermons, scriptures but it should be a time to release your faith. ...

Hindrances to faith

Image
Matthew 5:23-24 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Faith is likened to electricity. Electricity goes through conductors. It meets resistance when it meets a non conductor. The conductor through which faith goes through easily is love. Expect resistance and hindrance when there's no love or unforgiveness.  Another major hindrance to faith is a lack of knowledge that you are a new creature. Many Christians don't know what really happened to them after being born again. Since no one bothered to explain to them, they operate carnally yet they should operate as faith beings. The day you got saved the fruit of faith, love, peace, joy etc were wrought in the inside of you, your spirit being. The same faith that brought this world into existence is in you. The same peace, love, joy that i...

Faith fundamentals V

Galatians 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. The fifth faith fundamental is, faith won't work in an unforgiving heart or faith works by love. Unforgiveness or a loveless life is the main hindrance to walking by faith. Where there is no love, don't expect any faith and where there's no faith, don't expect any grace.  Forgiveness is so key in that God cannot accept one's gift unless they first go and reconcile with their brother who has wronged them. Many people fall sick and they never know why the sickness persists for a long time. They even go to the doctor but the doctor cannot see anything. Such need to check their love life. There may be unforgiveness or strife in play.  As much as is in your power, walk in peace, love, and avoid strife as much as possible so that your faith and prayers are not hindered.  Further scriptures   Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses...

Faith fundamentals IV

James 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Fourth faith fundamental is to act on your faith. From our theme scripture, we can conclude that if you never work on your faith, then it has never existed in the first place. It's only a wish. For example if you say you are the healed of the Lord, then act on it. Walk out of that bed and exercise the part that is troubling you. If you believe you have the power to make wealth, then go find a Job or start a business. But if you stay in bed all day "waiting" for a chance to get you, you will wait forever. If you want a wedding, better draft a budget, find out what it takes to have one, go attend other people's weddings to get some lessons you will implement in your wedding.  In short you cannot afford to do nothing concerning the promises that God gave you in His Word. One mistake some do is attempting to do things in their own strength without first getting a Word regarding that promise. That...

Romans 10:8-10 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Confession is possession  The third faith fundamental is you have to say the Word or confess it with your mouth. No confession, no possession. Do not say what you do not believe because it will come to pass and you will fall into regrets.  Confession is so important in because the very salvation you enjoy now was received by confessing the word of faith. The world was created by God speaking it forth into existence. Since we are in His nature, we take on the same characteristics. There's power in speaking the word in faith. Words were not only made for communication but for releasing ...

Romans 10:17 So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.  Faith is an important aspect of the Christian faith. In fact its the word we preach that brings men to salvation. If there's a subject any believer should be strong and established in, it is faith.  When you see an athlete compete at the world stage competition, what do you think got that athlete to that stage? It must be a number of things. They may actually do the same things like those who never reached that stage. However they may have had to work at their game or sport all day and all night. Studying it, thinking it, planning about it, sleep over it etc. They take time to watch videos of the opponents and Studying their tactics. They also watch their own games to discover where they would have been better and improve next time. I had heard that some sportsmen play video games of the very games they play! Since they are big names, they can choose characters in a team with themselves included! ...
