THE LOVE OF GOD [Pt 1]- Min. Awe Hilary

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 9:22 [NIV]:

In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

The blood of bulls were used to atone for the sins of men during the era of the law, which was a constant repetitive action because it lacked the capacity to make perfect those who drew near to worship God.

Hebrew 10:1 [NLT]:

The old system under the law of Moses was only a shadow, a dim preview of the good things to come, not the good things themselves. The sacrifices under that system were repeated again and again, year after year, but they were never able to provide perfect cleansing for those who came to worship.

Moreover, it was impossible for the law to produce perfection for the worshippers who came before God, because the blood of bulls and goats could not take away sin, hence God could not be pleased by burnt offerings.

Hebrews 10:6 [NLT]:

with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased.

THINGS TO NOTE:

1. The Law which is the old convenant was a shadow of the New convenant in Jesus Christ. The law was a prelude to the grace of God.

Hebrews 7:19 [NLT]:

For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

2. A righteous God cannot stand any trace of iniquity or unrighteousness hence the need for atonement with blood inorder to avert His judgement. The Law created sin consciousness as worshippers of God could not approach Him without the rememberance of their sins.

Hebrews 10:2 [NLT]:

If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared.

.... To be Continued.

ACTIVATING THE FIRE FOR THE RACE (1) ~ Joshua Talena

Monday 25 February 2019 ACTIVATING THE FIRE FOR THE RACE (1)  (JEREMIAH 20:9) “Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing and I could not stay. Child of God for you to run through this year, the very race which the Lord has set before you and win, you need the fire that will keep you consistent in what you are doing. Where there is no fire, men lack the passion to be consistent in what they do, and without consistency vision will be crippled and mission will be aborted in life. Even your services to God become burdensome to you where the fire is lacking.  As you go through this year, ensure you carry enough fuel for the race. Fire is divine stamina or fuel given to a man for conquest and accomplishment of destiny mandate. As you run through this year I want you to know you are like a double exhaust car, don’t carry only fire ...

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 BATTLE FOR ETERNITY

Life is a battle ground, and we are all soldiers on the field. It presents no option for exceptions, as every living soul is compelled to face the battle by reason of birth into this world. The bible in the book of Mathew 11:12 makes us to understand that, from the days of John the Baptist until now that the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force. This is the battle for eternity which is no respecter of social class, educational background, nationality, gender, as all have been condemned to this battle by reason of the fall of man as recorded in the book of Genesis 3:1-24. This war unlike other conventional battles, have proven to be more dangerous because it is a war for the souls of men. The battlefield is filled with ravaging, fierce and sadistic enemies with unconventional weaponry with the sole resolve of bringing the souls of men to eternal ruin and damnation. The greatest asset of a man is not his fancy car, mansion or several ch...
