THE NEW MAN IN CHRIST [Pt 1]- Min. Awe Hilary

The new man in Jesus Christ is a person whose outward nature testifies of an evidential inward transformation; that is a person renewed from inside out.

2 Corinthians 5:17 [NLT]:

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

This is one of the greatest miracles that affirms that a man has come in contact with the Spirit of God, and that God has become resident in his life. This interaction between God and man through the Holy Spirit, brings about a change in orientation and perspective, causing mankind to align with with the ways of God which showcases His Nature and Spirituality.

1 Corinthians 2:14 [NLT];

But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

The natural man feeds on the information coming from the flesh, but the new man in Christ is a spirit filled man who is attentive and receptive to the voice of the Spirit of God. This experience is made possible and seamless through the encounter of the Holy Spirit, but unfortunately some believers have not had an encounter with the Spirit of God, hence they struggle to live the new life on a trial and error bases through their works.

Titus 3:5 [NLT]:

he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.

John G. Lake states in one of his books as thus;

"The difficulty with the church has been that people are induced to confess their sins to Christ and acknowledge Him as Saviour, and they stop" - John G. Lake

He goes further to state that in the above statement lies the condition of about 85% professing Christians in the world. This probably explains why we have a large number of professing Christians who are not shining the light of Christ to the world.

In this series, we shall be looking at how a believer in Christ can experience being a new creature in God.

......TO BE CONTINUED.

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...
