THE LOVE OF GOD [Pt 3 ] -Min. Awe Hilary

Have you ever seen a death row inmate waiting for the day of his execution? There is no hope of living beyond the set date of his execution unless he is pardoned by a higher authority of the state or country, who might be a governor or president.

The law demands that he dies and the law is justified to take his life because he owes a debt to be paid for his sins.

Romans 6:23

[23]For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

This was the scenerio mankind found himself after the fall of the first Adam in the garden, which led to the introduction of sin, not just as an act, but a nature.

Romans 5:12

[12]Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—

The nature of man was altered because the first Adam was created in perfection, but when he disobeyed God, he lost that state and nature of innocence and perfection, hence taking up the nature of sin [ a state of corruption and imperfection] which is in enemity with God.

Furthermore, the nature of sin which the first Adam bore became his new nature, hence it became implicative of all men who came through his roots. It is a natural law that nature begets nature; a lion cannot give birth to a goat, so also a goat cannot give birth to a lion. Everything that was created was commanded to give birth according to it's kind, hence the nature of sin cannot beget righteousness. This was how you were implicated by the sin of the first Adam.

However, mankind was guilty as charged by reason of the first Adam's sin, condemned by the law to pay the debt of sin which is death.

Romans 4:15

[15]because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

Moreover, God overturned this verdict and paid the price for mankind through Jesus Christ even when they were still sinners because He loved them as His own and the most treasured of His possessions.

Romans 5:8

[8]But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

God did this for you because you are special.

Story of how LESTER SUMRALL met with HOWARD CARTER

LESTER Sumrall was a 20th century giant of faith, and worldwide missionary statesman, who demonstrated the power of the gospel in his pastoral and evangelical ministry. He also had a personal relationship with Smith Wigglesworth. And travelled widely with Howard Carter. This, culled from Dr. Sumrall's 'Pioneers of Faith', is the story of how he met Mr. Carter. It was 1932. Brother Lester was 19, and brother Howard was 41: I was sitting in a little church in Tennessee looking at the young man who was leading the music. Suddenly, the scene before me vanished, and I saw thousands of Japanese, Chinese, Lndians, Malaysians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, Latin Americans, Europeans and people from the ocean islands on one road going one direction ...Trembling and crying, I asked, "What shall I do?" God said, "You have to go to these people." I said, "I don't like those people. I have never seen a Japanese person in my life. I don't know tho...

THE OLD CONVENANT IS A SHADOW OF THE NEW CONVENANT [pt 4] - Min. Awe Hilary

It is an interesting fact to know that 99.99% of most religions practiced today are imitations of either the Mosaic law as given to the Jews by God or idolatry as invented by men through the interface of spiritual entities as a way of worship. Idol worship and the Mosaic law are the oldest well known religious institutions that have existed on the earth. The Mosaic law which is the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant which could not come into effect as long as the law was still in place. Hebrews 9:8 [AMP]: By this the Holy Spirit signifies that the way into the Holy Place [the true Holy of Holies and the presence of God] has not yet been disclosed as long as the first or outer tabernacle is still standing [that is, as long as the Levitical system of worship remains a recognized institution]. More also, if the Old Convenant is a shadow of the New Convenant, then it signifies that they both have One Spirit [The Spirit of God], same pattern with different realities but one purp...

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA

PRAY AGAINST AN IMMINENT TERRORIST ATTACK IN GERMANY - PROPHET TB JOSHUA “Good morning, my viewers all over the world. I want you to join me in praying against an imminent terrorist attack in the nation of Germany, particularly Thursday and throughout this week. I am saying this because I have seen it three to four times in a vision. I was supposed to mention this during the last Sunday Service, but I thought it was something I could pray for on my own. However, the vision continues repeating. The Government and people of Germany should be vigilant and guard against this. It is very imminent. We are on our knees praying for the nation and people of Germany."
