OUR INHERITANCE WITH CHRIST

Matthew 11:11, "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he."

MATTHEW 11:2-19, LUKE 7:18-35

Much of the Old Testament deals with future events and the coming Messiah and His Kingdom. Not only was John the Baptist the voice of God to his generation, he was also the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. He did not merely prophesy about the coming Messiah and the New Covenant, as the Old Testament prophets did, but he actually prepared the way for the hearts of the people to receive Jesus by bearing witness to the Light.

Although John the Baptist was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets, he was not a born again "new creature in Christ". When Jesus was raised from the dead, He enabled us to be "born of the Spirit" and become children of God, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. We were enabled to become "partakers of the divine nature" and full-fledged sons of God. John operated under the Old Covenant when none of these promises were yet in effect. Jesus established a new order, "the Kingdom of God," in which these promises became effective. God saw John and all of the Old Testament prophets through the law.

The new birth is essential for entering into the Kingdom of God. Our spiritual man became dead unto (separated from) God through sin. Just as we didn't accomplish our physical birth, we cannot produce this spiritual rebirth. We are totally incapable of saving ourselves; therefore, we need a Savior. We simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and we are saved.

Salvation is not a reformation, but rather a regeneration, a new birth, a new creation, that can only be accomplished by a creative miracle of the Holy Spirit. Because of the new birth, He sees us through Jesus. Celebrate Life!!!
Hallelujah!!! Glory2God!!!!!

GOD'S LOVE

"But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." - Romans 5:8

If you did nothing to attract God's love in the beginning, yet He gave you the greatest 'Gift' (CHRIST). Why would you think/believe that there is/are something(s) you must do to keep/lose His LOVE for you?

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." - (Titus 3:5-6).

If you believe the Love of God for you is dependent of what you do or don't do, you aren't going have a solid relationship with God.

Because God's Love for you is UNCONDITIONAL. It is this God kind of Love that helps you to live above sin.
"Sin can't tell you how to live. After all, you're not living under that old tyranny any longer. You're living in the freedom of God." - Romans 6:14(MSG)

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us." - (I John 4:18-19).

Rest in the Love of God!!!.

POTENTIAL OF A SEED

There Is every possibility that you underestimate the potential of a mustard seed.
Truly, you may never believe that any good thing (like a Giant Tree) could result from its Nazareth (smallness).
But the truth of the matter is; Fixing your attention on things that are seen (the physical things) may lead you off-track while, the things unseen has always proven to be the real deal(1).
Take care not to underestimate anyone, no matter his/her background, physique, status quo e.t.c.
Most importantly, DO NOT UNDER-RATE YOURSELF! DARE!
Do not drink of the cup of INFERIORITY COMPLEX!
You are the best of your Kind.
There is no two You.
Yes! You Can!
Always remember that; THE POTENTIAL OF A SEED IS NOT IN ITS SIZE.
KEEP RELATIONSHIPS!!!
Remain Blessed!
I Corrinthians 4:18

YOUR TRUE IDENTITY

FOR YOU IN CHRIST...
You are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus
That is who you are!
Anything aside this is living a counterfeit life
Your Identity stemmed from all that Christ did on the cross,
Inputting righteousness into you without any input from you
The Flesh does not desire things that agree with the will of the Spirit
No! They are always at a logger head
Your works does not make you more righteous than what His Cross has already offered
Your boast is only in His Cross and not of works
But all these are foolishness to a natural man though!
So, You live a righteous life not because of your works but because righteousness has been given to me as a gift(1)
You sin not, not because Sin does not stare at you in the face everyday
But because You know Who You Are, the Righteousness of God.
You Can’t live a life of Sin because you know that’s not your Identity
You focus is not on Sin but on your Identity (Righteousness)
“Thou shall not” cannot purge you
Only His cross can! And you know what? It is a DONE DEAL!
“For if the first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second”(2)
Tell yourself……
‘I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
I KNOW WHO I AM!!!

Romans 5:17
Hebrew 8:7

The Width of God's Love

The Width of God's Love

The width of God's love extends across the entire world and includes everyone he has created: "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made." (Psalm 145:17 NIV, emphasis mine)

God never made a person that he didn't love. He made you; he loves you; and God doesn't make junk! He loves you unconditionally. He loves you very, very much.

Everybody matters to God; in fact, we see in the life of Jesus that he even loves the unlovely, and those who may feel unlovable. Do you want to know the secret of self-esteem? Here it is: If you want confidence, then understand how much you matter to God. If God loves you, who cares what anybody else thinks.

Because God loves you, there's no need to prove yourself worth. We don't have to wear certain kinds of clothes to make us feel like we're okay, or drive a certain kind of car to prop up our faltering egos. We don't need status symbols anymore. - Rick Warren

The Length of God's Love

The Length of God's Love 

There's a limit to human love; it wears out, it dries up. 

That's why you have to have God's love in all your relationships if they are going to last. God's love never wears out. God's love is patient, persistent, and persevering. 

Isn't it good news to know that God never gives up on you? No matter what you do, his love never gives up. It's wide enough to include everybody and it's long enough to last forever. 

God will never love you any more than he does right now. But he also will never love you any less than he does right now. 

He loves you on your good days; he loves you on your bad days. His love is not conditioned by your response. God is love and his love is given freely. It cannot be earned and it is not undeserved. 

Accept his love and worship him, knowing that his love is long enough to last for all time: "And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully." (Ephesians 3:18-19 NLT) - Rick Warren
