WHY WE NEEDED THIS DELIVERER!

Over two thousand years ago in the little town of Bethlehem Judah, Christ (the messiah) was born as a baby in a manger. He was conceived through the word of an angel-Gabriel that stands in the presence of God. This child who was born to a virgin –Mary, was destined to change the course of humanity forever.

The prophets of God right from one of Israel’s greatest prophets and deliverer of old by the name of Moses, had prophesied about the coming of this blessed child. In the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 and verse 15, re-iterated by Peter in Acts chapter 3 and verse 22, Moses prophesied about the coming of this savior as follows:

22-For Moses truly said unto the fathers, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you”.

God had earlier spoken to Abraham the father of faith, concerning the curse that was upon all mankind because of sin, that this curse will be reversed, and the earth shall be blessed through his own seed.

Adam disobeyed God in the garden when he ate the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and submitted his will to Satan. Thus sin or disobedience crept into the earth especially upon mankind of whom Adam was the first and the father. As a matter of fact the devil had earlier inherited sin and the curse that follows it by disobeying God and trying to take over authority from Him. He was ruling the pre-Adamite world and traded with the kings of the nations that were before Adam. He had fooled a third of the angels in heaven that he would completely defeat God and His loyalists and take over the ruler ship of the entire universe.

Satan failed in his mission, Michael God’s Army General in command of the loyal forces of heaven, whipped the devil and a third of the angels and cast them out of heaven, and they landed here on earth total stripped of all glory and lost their bodies in the process, but retained a little of their spiritual power, especially those of coercion and deceit. That was their first defeat which took place in heaven.

Then that pre-Adamite man who was not made in God’s image might have fallen into the devil’s deceit

or his antics, and out of His fierce anger, the Lord destroyed the whole earth. That was the first destruction before the re-creation, and Noah’s flood. In Jeremiah chapter 4 and verses 23-26 we read:

23-“I beheld the earth, and lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

24-I beheld the mountains and lo they trembled and all the hills moved lightly.

25-I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled

26-I   beheld, and lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord and by His fierce anger”.

God decided to make man in His image-that was this Adam. He breathed into Adam the breath of life, and Adam became a living soul. He then anointed this Adam, He said to Adam, “Be fruitful and subdue the earth”, thus and anointing for dominion, ruler ship, kingship and multiplication came upon Adam.  Adam who was made in the image of God lost that authority to dominate the earth when he obeyed Satan through the weakness of his wife-Eve to eat the forbidden fruit of the knowledge of good and evil.

Satan who came to the earth defeated and shamed, now received a new authority-he was now going to rule over the earth, because Adam gave it all to him. He then took of the fallen soldiers that came down with him, and placed the former generals among them over the atmosphere, in the second heaven in various cities and nations as principalities, to enforce the curse upon the nations.

Adam’s mistake in submitting to the devil brought upon mankind the curse of sin which include-sickness, poverty, failure, shame, reproaches, defeat, unfruitfulness, slavery, losses, untimely death and so on and so forth.

God was disappointed and displeased because he loved man whom he had made so much and did not like man’s new predicament. He had to work a way out fast to enable Him redeem man. He sought for a man amongst men.

One day He saw a man named Abram who lived with his parents in the Ur of the Chaldeans in the region of Mesopotamia. He called Abram who had no child and bore the name of exalted father. He said to Abram, “Get thee out of thy own country, and from amongst your own kindred to a new place that I will show you” , and he obeyed.

This simple act of obedience by this man-Abram was all that God needed to know that He was on His  way to restoring man’s lost glory, because through Adam we learn-That all have sinned and fallen short of glory.

Then one day, God decided to see from His friend Abram, if he will show Him something about what He plans to do in future concerning this redemption, which will be to have a son, and offer him as a sacrifice to take upon himself the sin of mankind. This is because of the scriptural principle which says, “Without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sin”. Therefore the only way God was going to meet the demands of justice would be by having his sinless son die on the cross to take up to sins of the world.

God therefore decided to test Abraham. He asked Abraham to go to one of the mountains of Moriah to offer up his only son-Isaac as sacrifice to God-remember that this Abraham had no child, but God visited him and promised him and later gave him one.

Again this Abram, now Abraham because God has changed his name-obeyed God and accepted to offer his only son as a sacrifice. God was satisfied that a man who had no previous example of this sought of obedience to a God he had not seen before could do this.

God then preached the good news-gospel to Abraham saying, “And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou has obeyed my voice”.

And in the book of Galatians, chapter 3 and verse 16 we read,

16-“Now to Abram and his seed were the promises made. He said not, and to seeds, as of many; but as of one, and to thy seed, which is Christ.”

This anointed one, together with his anointing, has brought to mankind-The blessing, as God had promised. Healing is now the bread of the children, through his poverty, we are now rich, and we are no longer in shame or defeat because he has given us back the glory-in John 17 and verse 22 we read as follows:

22- And the glory which thou gavest me, I have given them; that they may be one even as we are one:

This Jesus, our savior, is also now the second Adam. Whereas the first Adam who was also a son of God, was made living soul, this second Adam has been made-a life giving spirit, and he says, “I have come that they (you), might have life, and have it more abundantly”, because if any man shall come to him, “though he were dead, yet shall he live again”.

Spiritual death, has been defeated, and even the physical death has no more power-because Jesus defeated it and rose up from the grave, and said, “and these signs shall follow them that believe… heal the sick, cleanse the leapers, raise the dead”.

We also are now more than conquerors through Christ-hallelujah, thank you Lord Jesus for all that you have done for us.  Therefore, as we now wrestle with the devil, principalities and powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, the spiritual wickednesses in high places, and the demons, we already know who the victors are because of Jesus and what he has come and already done!

We shall not cease to celebrate this salvation that you have brought-by the anointing.

THE HEARTFELT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN!

The other day, we were talking about the unlimited power of corporate prayer and corporate anointing. I love it when we gather together to pray, and in fact it inspires me a lot.It is the easiest way to get me to pray and in fact most people who are growing in their faith. I love it when am challenged by the zeal of some brother , or some pastor when we pray together.

However today, I want to talk to you or to look at the power of the prayer of a righteous man.As we proceed, I will like you to note some keywords here. These words are (a) a righteous man(b) heartfelt(c) power(d) prayer.

We will now look at the scripture that will guide our discussion, today, and that is taken from the book of James, chapter 5 and verse 16, we read as follows:

16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".

Firstly, this scripture tells us to confess our sins one to another. This I believe means to admit it when you offend your brother, or your sister in Christ Jesus, and ask for forgiveness. Pastor James tell us that will help our healing to come forth speedily.

However, the second part of this scripture is the part that carries most of the revelation we are out to receive today.

Who is a righteous man? A righteous man is a man who has received the righteousness of God by faith.God's nature or part of His nature is righteousness. He is always right and can never be wrong.He is the head of all things and he created them.He therefore is entitled to claim to be right, to know what is right, and to never be opposed, He has the right to be the head at all times, and to never be wrong, any other person opposing God's in any way is practicing disobedience or sin and is rebellious or wrong.

In the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 21, we read as follows:

21 "For He hath made him to be sin, for us who knew no sin;that we be made the righteousness of God in him".

This scripture gives us the root to the fruit, this is because without you receiving that which you have been given free of charge from the Lord, you cannot bear any genuine fruit of righteousness.We can understand this better, with the second scripture that I am about to share with you now. Let us look at the book of Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 24:

24 "And that ye put on the new man, which is created after God in true righteousness and holiness".

 We can still go on and read one more vital scripture about the root to your fruit, where righteousness is concerned, in that it is a gift to the believer from God. Let us read from Philippians chapter3 and verse 9:

9 "And be found in Him not having my own righteousness which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of God, the righteousness which is of Christ by faith.

This gift of God which we receive by faith in Christ Jesus, now produces right living in us-that is called the fruit of righteousness. We can see this in Philippians chapter 1 and verse 11.

Dr Chidi Peters Peters informs all the readers of Prayer Network, that -The Marvelous Light International Ministries, will make a difference in the lives of men and women around the world.

11 " Being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and the praise of God".

Finally again on righteousness, in Ephesians, chapter 5 and verse 9, we read:

9 "(For the fruit of righteousness is in all, goodness, righteousness and truth;)" ,all these now show us that a righteous man is one that has received God's righteous son and is now living the righteous life that flows from the Spirit of the living God.You can know that you have received this life and that you are now living by the Spirit of boldness-'The righteous is as bold as a lion'.

Secondly, or the second important word we need to look at here now is the word, 'effectual, fervent, or heart felt'. These three words which am taking as one word actually have to do with putting in your whole attention, concentration, energy, and focus into what you are doing when you pray. Looking in the real of the spirit unto the father, in the name of Jesus and coming before Him, with your whole attention, completely immersed with your whole spirit, soul and body attached passionately to His being.

THE HEARTFELT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN!

The other day, we were talking about the unlimited power of corporate prayer and corporate anointing. I love it when we gather together to pray, and in fact it inspires me a lot.It is the easiest way to get me to pray and in fact most people who are growing in their faith. I love it when am challenged by the zeal of some brother , or some pastor when we pray together.

However today, I want to talk to you or to look at the power of the prayer of a righteous man.As we proceed, I will like you to note some keywords here. These words are (a) a righteous man(b) heartfelt(c) power(d) prayer.

We will now look at the scripture that will guide our discussion, today, and that is taken from the book of James, chapter 5 and verse 16, we read as follows:

16 "Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".

Firstly, this scripture tells us to confess our sins one to another. This I believe means to admit it when you offend your brother, or your sister in Christ Jesus, and ask for forgiveness. Pastor James tell us that will help our healing to come forth speedily.

However, the second part of this scripture is the part that carries most of the revelation we are out to receive today.

Who is a righteous man? A righteous man is a man who has received the righteousness of God by faith.God's nature or part of His nature is righteousness. He is always right and can never be wrong.He is the head of all things and he created them.He therefore is entitled to claim to be right, to know what is right, and to never be opposed, He has the right to be the head at all times, and to never be wrong, any other person opposing God's in any way is practicing disobedience or sin and is rebellious or wrong.

In the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 21, we read as follows:

21 "For He hath made him to be sin, for us who knew no sin;that we be made the righteousness of God in him".

This scripture gives us the root to the fruit, this is because without you receiving that which you have been given free of charge from the Lord, you cannot bear any genuine fruit of righteousness.We can understand this better, with the second scripture that I am about to share with you now. Let us look at the book of Ephesians chapter 4 and verse 24:

24 "And that ye put on the new man, which is created after God in true righteousness and holiness".

THE MYSTERY OF THANKSGIVINGS

There is a profound revelation about the power of gratitude and thanksgiving in the word of God! There is so much in the word especially in the life of Jesus(if you read the previous article),to support this. I will be using just one simple example from the book of Luke, chapter 17, and verses12-20.
In this portion of the scripture, ten lepers came to Jesus.
12-"And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers,which stood afar off:
13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Master, Jesus have mercy on us! 
14 And when he saw them , he said unto them,Go shew yourselves unto the priests, and as they went, they were cleansed.
15 And one of them when he saw he was healed,  turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God!
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving thanks, and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed, but where are the nine?
18 There are not found that came to give glory to God, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, arise and go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole."
The fact that only one of these lepers came back to the Lord to give thanks to him, was shocking to Jesus.
However, Jesus taught a great lesson here in that he restored wholeness to this man who was thankful.
His friends got healing, in that the germs which caused the leprosy were killed off, and the spirit of infirmity sustaining the disease was cast out.Their destroyed limb, toes, and fingers were probably not restored back.

I can however bet my life on it that this our friend who gave thanks to the Lord for his healing, experienced re creative miracles, restoring everything that he lost.
