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.

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."

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 ...

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...
