The love of God is the message of Jesus Christ to all the nations of the world, that all may come to the knowledge of the truth and be saved. Romans 5:8 [NIV]: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The death of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary was not on the instance or condition of our love for God, but rather His love for us when we were in a state that was at variance with His nature. In other words, a righteous God going after men of sin that they maybe washed by the blood of the Lamb, and that He [Jesus Christ] may become a propitiation for the sins of men. 1 John 2:2 [NIV]: He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. The essence of this sacrifice is predicated on the fact that during the era of the law which was a shadow of the glorious things to come, blood was used to purify almost everything and without blood, there was no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews ...

The believers authority is in Jesus Christ and Him alone, for without Christ there is no authority anywhere for the believer. It is on the basis of what Jesus Christ has done that gives the believer the authority to lay hold on what God has to offer. The provisions of God answers to the finished work of Jesus Christ, and through Christ, the believer is qualified to receive the fullness of God in all aspects.  Mathew 28:18 [NIV]: Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me The word AUTHORITY in the above scriptures is translated from an ancient Greek word, EXOUSIA which infers a legal right or a conveyance of delegated power to function in an office that bares or is an exact replica of the personality of God [The Father], to Whom all power belongs. Psalm 62:11 [NIV]: One thing God has spoken, two things I have heard: “Power belongs to you, God Philippians 2:9 [NIV]: Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name ...

There are two types of character traits that an individual can manifest or express, and they are; 1. The works of the flesh. 2. The fruit of the Spirit. The works of the flesh is powered by the nature of sin which produces several acts as stipulated in the book Galatians 5:19-21. Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,   Galatians 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,   Galatians 5:21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.  These traits aforementioned are very common in our societies, and those who are involved in such, do it effortlessly without struggle, but when it comes to the manifestations of the fruit of the Spirit, it becomes very difficult as many w...

 THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT [Pt 1] - Min. Awe Hilary A tree is easily recognizable by the fruits it bears, hence when a farmer or an individual comes in contact with a mango 🥭 tree for instance or a paw paw tree, the fruits give the tree 🌲 it's definition. In thesame vain, the word fruit which is derived from the greek word KARPOS is used to define the character or nature of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a personality [ the third person in the Godhead] Who has character traits that are described as fruit of the Spirit which is stated in the book of Galatians 5:22 -23; Galatians 5:22 [NIV]: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, Galatians 5:23 [NIV]: gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. These character traits listed above are exclusive to the Holy Spirit and only Him can work in it's perfection because it's natural to Him. However, an individual can manifest the fruit of the Holy Spiri...

 In recent times, many are continually attempting to place a stunch distinction and comparism with respect to the Word, the incarnate and the ressurected Christ by placing priority on one above the others or completely berating the Word and the Incarnate Christ as non signficant. In a recent sermon by a popular preacher he stated before his congregation that the Incarnate Christ was useless to him, while others have stated clearly that it is either the ressurected Christ or nothing, as the Word and the Incarnate Christ had no benefit to their new birth experience, hence they should not be amplified in the new creation realities. The Word, the incarnate and the ressurected Christ are one and the same person, without a deminished form of status or identity as God, but depicted by scriptures to explain to men, God's role in the creation of the world, as well as His role in the redemption of mankind without the ambiguity of creating three different personalities out of one, or placing ...

 It is no longer news that certain believers are already becoming apostates through the consistent intake of teachings which deliberately misinterpret scriptures in essence and application. This series will avail itself as a material to refute such claims with the aim of providing biblical insights that will bring to perspective and context the true sayings of the Holy Bible, inorder to prevent the loss of a generation to the wiles and caprices of the devil. The first time I heard that Jesus Christ was created was from an unbeliever, and I never knew that a supposed believer will make such an incorrect statement on a Facebook post which goes as such; "God created only two people since the world began, the first and second Adams. You were born into sin (state, not act) because the first Adam was corrupted. But through the Gospel you are now born into righteousness (state, not act) because Jesus Christ is blameless. I hope this settles the crisis in your head...🤔 Glory to Jesus 🙌...
