WHAT A REPLACEMENT!
You wonder at yourself if you will ever be free from forces of character deficiency released against you. Some are so rotten in sin that they called themselves sin’s slave. There are people that claimed to be born again but the worlds around them are careful of them. Whenever you hear the message of the cross you always wondered if any is obeying and following it. On whatever may be troubling your three realms; spirit soul and body, I welcome you to the courtyard of his majesty where a murderer is set free, where the worse sinner is justified based on a singular condition published in this edition of Voices From Zion Titled:
WHAT A REPLACEMENT!
2nd Corinthians 5:21. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Understanding What Sin: First we need to know that sin was the root cause why the first man were sent out of the Garden of Eden, a place of unmatchable splendour into the wilderness of the earth. This means the only good place you can ever be is The Garden of Eden. It’s a devil tormenting free zone, a place of comfort, paradise on earth, totally lost by man. So we could deduce that sin is disobedience to God’s orders. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1John 3:4 from old time until now, it’s a great war in the flesh to be free from sinning. Sin is Adam’s corrupt nature in us. John 3:16 is the only answer to question of sin. David said For I was born a sinner— yes, from the moment my mother conceived me. Psalm 51:5 it actually means that the coming together of my father and mother was sinful, the womb that carried me was a sinful womb and I was born a sinful man. It’s good to note what get us born again is accepting Jesus Christ into our life at that very point that Jesus comes into you, all sin power have to bow. Sin is very strong but the invasion of Jesus will destroy (deactivate) it. You shall be free today in Jesus name. John 3:5-7 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. *That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. *Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
It Isn’t Easy: Getting saved doesn’t scare Satan but living as saint is what scares him and he always fights it. Many had surrendered their life and rededicate to Jesus five times now but couldn’t still live as a saint till now. So many accepted Jesus Christ but there are no proves that they are saved. Some are even workers in their place of worship, some teaches the Bible knowledge but no prove that they are actually saved. You need help to stand through the wiles of Satan. Let’s trace what could have happen to you.
- The Word: 1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. Your being born again is not sealed except there is a word in the Bible that truly converts you or words in the Holy Bible you actually held unto. Being born again needs a word back-up. If there is none for your salvation, the devil might succeed in pushing you down. There must be Bible words you relied on because the devil is a master strategist in bringing out new techniques of deception to take us away from our Lord and master Jesus Christ. But he has failed concerning you today in Jesus name. It’s an error to preach salvation without the usage of the scripture because you are not giving them the right basis to stand on. It’s noticed that many Christians around the world preach salvation with John 3:16 only; it shouldn’t be. There are various scriptures and biblical stories both in old and new testament that can be used in the preaching of Salvation. Psalm 19:7-8 says The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. *The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The word of God is a powerful instrument in soul’s conversion, such that if the preacher that was used by God to convert you fell, you will stand because the word of God will hold you up. Hebrew 1:3 also said Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; is a major prove that his word is of utmost importance to all. Jesus cares, you shall not fall.
- The Kingdom Of God Is At Hand: should be the message, the message of salvation should be kingdom of God oriented and focus. Once a message of salvation is not God’s kingdom focus then you might confused some and make them follower of yourself instead of Christ’s. It’s very wrong to espouse people to Christ by marketing prosperity, deliverance, healing and blessings to them without the trace of second coming of Jesus Christ in your preaching to them. John the Baptist, Jesus and the disciples of Jesus Christ preach the kingdom oriented message in Matthew 3:2, 4:17, Act 2:37-41 Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand…was their message. Preaching stylishly to converts souls to the kingdom is sinful and will not generate lasting result.
- Jesus Must Be Presented As The Way, The Truth And The Life: John 14:6 The only way truth and life to the sinners otherwise their standard will be faulty because you built them on a shaky foundation.
You were as clean as Jesus is before the Lord God Almighty. It has been noted that the moment anyone open the door of the heart to Jesus Christ and he comes in, sin nature dies instantly but many goes around looking for sin by themselves, you shouldn’t. At the point of salvation, Jesus is made sin for you (sacrifice for your sins) so you are free from all charges of sins. Jesus knew no sin but you know a lot of sins and God used Jesus to wipe out your sins ‘what a replacement! You are no more that man of sin; you have been made free in Jesus. From today everything will begin to go right with you in Jesus name. Once you become saved by surrendering totally to the Lordship of Jesus and Jesus steps into your life then the replacement is done. God is no more seeing you in your sins anymore; that load of sin, iniquity, shortcomings are gone from you. If Jesus is not made the righteousness of God for us, the best we can do is liken to what Prophet Isaiah called filthy rags in Isaiah 64:6 which says But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Jesus is made sin for us is not a licence to do whatever we like and accommodates iniquity, it simply means Jesus Christ in you whom you received as your Lord and personal Saviour made you the righteousness of God, he deactivate you from all forces of defilements and powered you up for righteousness. 1 John 3:6-7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
What are the blessings of Righteousness?
- Wholeness: 1Thesallonians 5:23
- Prosperity: Deuteronomy 28:1-8
- Peace: Isaiah 32:17
- Holy Spirit Empowerment: Luke 24:49
- All Things are yours: 1Corinthians 3:21-22
- Joseph’s Life Was Replaced With A Slain Lamb: Genesis 37:31-32 And they took Joseph’s coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood; *And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son’s coat or no. Instead of killing him they sold him to slavery and a lamb took his place in death. Right now some are sold into slavery yet the good news is that God can recover you and restored you and make you reign.
- Jesus Took The Place Of Barabbas in Death: Same way he took our place in death and calamities of Life. Luke 23:17-19, 25 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.) *And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas: *(Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)… And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will. Be blessed. What A Replacement!
