THE NEW MAN IN CHRIST [Pt 9 - Final Part]

THE NEW MAN IN CHRIST [Pt 9 - Final Part] - Min. Awe Hilary

The walk and the journey in the newness of Christ which is experienced by a believer, is one which is obtained by grace, hence no one can boast of his or her abilities as being a sustaining factor.

John 15:5 [AMP]:

I am the Vine; you are the branches. The one who remains in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for [otherwise] apart from Me [that is, cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

The New man in Christ needs the help of God for his sustainance through Jesus Christ, hence he must abide by ensuring that he is in constant union and communication with God through Jesus Christ. One of the ways of facilitating this communication is through prayers.

Prayer is a form of communication that enables the new man in Christ to receive information from God through Christ, that he may know, understand and carryout the biddings of God, for which he was redeemed and sanctified.

John 15:16 [AMP]:

You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed and placed and purposefully planted you, so that you would go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit will remain and be lasting, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name [as My representative] He may give to you.

This enables the believer to renew his strength daily through the inspiration of God. Prayer does the following to the new man in Christ;

1. Prayer reveals the realness of God to the New man in Christ [Jer. 33:3].

2. Prayer helps the New man in Christ to abide in God, while facilitating and encouraging a deeper form of relationship with God [1 John 5:14].

3. Prayer helps the New man to understand the plans and purposes of God in respect to the assignment to which God has entrusted in his hands [Ephesians 1:18].

4. Prayer enables the New man in Christ to stay in form and shape, by keeping the fire of the Spirit burning and ensuring that he is spiritually alert [1 Thessalonians 5:19].

5. Prayer helps to keep the New man in Christ from fallen into temptations and limits the possibilities of him living wilfully in sin, because a praying man is always before God [Mathew 26:41].

THINGS TO NOTE:

A. Prayer is not just for accessing God's provisions, but it is a weapon of war that keeps the New man in Christ away from wilful sins.

B. Prayer is non negotiable for the New man in Christ, because a prayerless believer cannot be in tune and in touch with the realities of God.

C. Prayerlessness gives room to the exaltation of the flesh above the Spirit, hence such actions is inimical to the growth of the New man in Christ.

Blessings.

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...

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."

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...
