Refused to be afraid! Satan is defeated...

πŸŒ΄πŸ‡A Word For You!πŸ‡πŸŒ΄

πŸ† *LOOK UP!* πŸ†

πŸ“–Luke 21:25,26,28 NKJ
πŸ“œ 25 "And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
πŸ“œ 26 *"men's hearts failing them from fear* and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of heaven will be shaken.
πŸ“œ 28 "Now when these things begin to happen, *LOOK UP AND LIFT UP YOUR HEADS, because your redemption draws near."*

Unprecedented troubles seem to be sweeping the earth. Many are in DISTRESS, DESPAIR and DISARRAY not knowing what to make of it.

The international community made up of nations and political powers are frustrated on a daily basis because they have come to the realization of the fact that governmental policies and procedures and economical schemes have all failed to cub the unfortunate happenstance that is befalling our world.

But I wonder why that should be the case because long before now God had spoken by His Spirit through prophet Isaiah along these lines:

πŸ“–Isaiah 60:2 *"For, behold, the DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH, and GROSS DARKNESS THE PEOPLE..."*

God never leaves His people in the dark instead He prophetically guides and leads them by His Spirit.

πŸ“–John 16:4 *But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them.* And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.

So the rise of evil activities, evil practices and evil happenstances shouldn't alarm God's people; we should know that they were meant to be so.

However the question is:
What should we do when we see these things happening? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

It's simple:
JESUS SAID we should "LOOK UP AND LIFT UP OUR HEADS!"

You may be asking, "Apostle, is that all?"... Emphatically yes.

What does that phrase mean?
*It simply means we should not be discouraged or disheartened by all the troubles on earth, AS IF WE HAVE NO HOPE. Instead we are to CONTINUE IN FAITH, knowing that our Lord will ALWAYS take care of us, and that OUR FINAL REDEMPTION is drawing nearer.*

πŸ“–2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for *I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day.*

βœ’ Three Things To Remember βœ’
We must remember:
πŸ‘‰ *That Abba Father (Papa God) is TRULY our SOURCE* πŸ“–Deut 8:18

πŸ‘‰ *That JESUS has PROMISED to NEVER forsake us* πŸ“–Heb 13:5-6

πŸ‘‰ *That JESUS will ALWAYS PROVIDE for us.*
πŸ“–Phil 4:19

As we await *THE RETURN OF OUR LORD*, we should *ACTIVELY CONTINUE TO BE A WITNESS* of God's goodness by our LIFE and TESTIMONY.

πŸ“–Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES UNTO ME...unto the uttermost part of the earth."

*Our REFUSING TO SUBMIT TO FEAR AND WORRY, but instead GIVING THANKS AND PRAISE to God, will be a WITNESS to those around us.*

πŸ“–Ephesians 5:20 *GIVING THANKS ALWAYS FOR ALL THINGS* unto God and the Father in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ

πŸ—£οΈSAY THIS:
*I will not be discouraged by all that is happening in the world, but I WILL LOOK TO JESUS my SAVIOR, PROTECTOR, and PROVIDER.*

Hope you were blessed? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜

24/09/2021

πŸ† *The WAR Is OVER* πŸ†
( *Satan Is Defeated* )

Many people don’t know *THE TRUTH ABOUT SATAN’S DEFEAT.* What's worse, when you tell them they either ARGUE about it or FIGHT you. Who fights or argues with *GOOD NEWS*?Who does that!

Isn't it insane to argue with or fight against the truth that has the ability to establish and guarantee your liberty? πŸ€”

πŸ“–Isa 5:13a
*"My people are gone into captivity BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE..."*

In fact, many Christians are THE VERY INSTRUMENT the devil is using to foster the deception that he is still a powerful foe. If this isn't preposterous I wonder what is! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜ 

β€œSPIRITUAL WARFARE” is one of the hottest topics in the church today.

*People are expending great amounts of energy constantly battling the devil IN WAYS CONTRARY TO SCRIPTURE, but in reality, Satan has already been defeated.*

πŸ“–Colossians 2:15 AMP
*[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him [Christ)] and in it [the cross].*

We don’t need to defeat him again. JESUS already did that on our behalf and *His victory has been credited to our account as though WE did it.*

I know you must be asking by now, "OK, Apostle Rockson, so what do we do now?"

1️⃣ *We need to BELIEVE that Satan has already been COMPLETELY DESTROYED (defeated and disarmed)*

πŸ“–Hebrews 2:14 AMP
*Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might BRING TO NOUGHT and MAKE OF NO EFFECT him who HAD the power of deathβ€”that is, the devil*

This kind of faith, faith in the Word, faith in what JESUS did and what the Spirit documented about His Finished Work in the Pauline epistles, is the only required necessity for a victorious Christian life.

Without this kind of faith, that is powered by the consciousness of our position in Christ, our Christian life will be a struggle and ultimately boring and uneventful.

2️⃣ *We need to simply ENFORCE his DEFEAT.*

Apostle Paul speaking by the Holy Ghost intimated the church on this subject, stating emphatically that we ought to:

*GIVE NO PLACE to the devil*
πŸ“–Ephesians 4:27

That sounds like your responsibility, doesn't it? In other words, no one is going to do it for you. *You have to deliberately take your stand against the ILLEGAL WORKINGS of the devil.*

But how were we supposed to do that? *By simply TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE NAME OF JESUS*

πŸ“–Philippians 2:10 AMP
That in (at) the name of Jesus every knee should (must) bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth

*We enforce Satan's defeat each time we USE THE NAME OF JESUS!*

*At the Name of Jesus, Satan is constantly reminded of his defeat*... Did you get that?

No wonder Apostle Paul admonished us to constantly LIVE IN THE NAME OF JESUS:

πŸ“–Colossians 3:17 AMP
*And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, DO EVERYTHING IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.*

Glooorrryyy πŸ•ΊπŸ’ƒ

Now, let ME establish the fact that *the only power the devil 😈 has is the POWER TO DECEIVE.*

Therefore, *OUR BATTLE SHOULD BE AGAINST THE WILES (TRICKERY) of the devil NOT THE DEVIL HIMSELF.*

πŸ“–Ephesians 6:11 AMP
Put on God’s whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to STAND UP AGAINST [ALL] THE STRATEGIES AND THE DECEITS OF THE DEVIL

*Any other approach is actually giving the devil authority and power which he doesn’t have, and he uses that to intimidate us.*

Child of God, refuse to be a VICTIM when in reality you have been made a VICTOR in Christ Jesus.

*The only weapon Satan has is the power we give him when we believe his lies.*

Let ME show you the *protocols of warfare:*

*Warfare only takes place between two undefeated foes. Once an enemy has been conquered, the war is over.*

Glory be to Abba Father, as it stands now *Satan is a defeated foe.*

How long will he stay defeated? *FOREVER!*

πŸ“–Ecclesiastes 3:14
*And I know that whatsoever the Lord doeth it shall be forever..."*

Here is my counsel:
*LEARN HOW TO PUT THE DEVIL IN HIS PLACE.*

Howβ“πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ
πŸ“–James 4:7 AMP
*So be subject to God. RESIST the devil [STAND FIRM AGAINST him], and HE WILL flee from you.*

OH, Glooorrryyy to GOD
We have a guarantee and it's an eternal guarantee because it's coming from the Eternal God Himself:
*...and HE (the devil) WILL FLEE from you*

So the only reason he hasn't fled from you and all that concerns you is *because YOU HAVEN'T RESISTED him yet IN THE NAME OF JESUS.*

Disengage from the ENDLESS WARFARES... *it is simply ignorance gone on rampage!*

Arise...
Wake up
Take πŸ“–James 4:7 more seriously
*DO IT NOW!*
It ALWAYS works...
*"And he will flee from you"*

πŸŒŸπŸ“š The πŸ“šπŸŒŸ Of Of The πŸ‘‘

🎁 Presents 🎁
πŸ† *Jesus Is THE Truth!* πŸ†
*(Christianity IS Christ)*

My beloved brethren, it is my pleasure to bring you the Gospel of Christ, the hidden place of God's Power.
(πŸ“–Romans 1:16)

*I would to God that you will both EMBRACE this truth and EXERCISE yourself in its entirety and reality as your whole life most certainly depends on it.*

πŸ“–John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, *I AM* the way, *THE TRUTH*, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

NOW, let's take a closer look at the *SALVATION MESSAGE* that Apostle Peter had been sent to preach to Cornelius.

πŸ“ (Please kindly take time to read it in πŸ“–Acts chapter 10:34-43.)

That portion of the Bible, no doubt, is a summary of Peter's sermon, picking out the highlights, but we can see at once that *PETER SIMPLY TALKED ABOUT JESUS.*

*This is very unlike some of the "modern era ministers" who have replaced the REVELATION of Jesus Christ with RAZZMATAZZ.*

Politics, national relationships and social issues which agitated the people of those times were NOT EVEN MENTIONED.

πŸ”Š *PETER PREACHED JESUS.* πŸ”Š

He simply said that JESUS was LORD OF ALL, which was - and still is - *the TRUE ROOT of every matter.*

πŸ“–Romans 14:7 For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself.
πŸ“œ 14:8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
πŸ“œ 14:9 For to this end Christ both DIED, and ROSE, and REVIVED, that he might be LORD BOTH OF THE DEAD AND LIVING.

✏ *The business of COMPARATIVE religions is really the business of CONTRAST. There is little to dovetail.*

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚ Take, for example, the founders of ISLAM and BUDDHISM; they professed to be no more than CHANNELS.

❌ Mohammed talked of his VISIONS;
❌ Buddha talked of his ENLIGHTENMENT.

βœ… *JESUS DID NEITHER.* πŸ’ƒ Glory! πŸ’ƒ
He NEVER claimed to be a prophet. *HE SAID HE WAS WHAT THEY ALL PROPHESIED ABOUT.*

πŸ“œ John 5:46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me (Jesus): *FOR HE WROTE OF ME.*

Again, see πŸ‘€ πŸ‘‡
πŸ“–Luke 24:44 And He (Jesus) said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, *CONCERNING ME.*

Notice that *EVERYTHING written* in the
πŸ‘‰ Law
πŸ‘‰ Prophets &
πŸ‘‰ Psalms
*Were *
*NOT concerning those who wrote them.*

CHRISTIAN TRUTH is not
❌ *a series of statements* or
❌ *a code of ethics* or
❌ *a program of religious observances.*

πŸ“œRomans 10:3 For they BEING IGNORANT of God's righteousness, and GOING ABOUT to establish THEIR OWN righteousness, have NOT SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God.

πŸ“ *Jesus is THE Truth.*
πŸ“ *Christianity IS Christ.*

There is no need for us to attack other religion. There is no need to attack anybody's way of life, whether they live in the west, east, north or south.

πŸ“–Colossians 4:5
AMP: Behave yourselves wisely [living prudently and with discretion] in your relations with those of the outside world (the non-Christians), making the very most of the time and seizing (buying up) the opportunity.

πŸ•― *ALL WE NEED TO DO* is simply let people see for themselves what Jesus really is by explaining the Gospel to them in SIMPLE terms. πŸ“–Eph 3:8-9

As the Bible puts it, we need to encourage them to *"TASTE AND SEE* that the LORD is good"..... (πŸ“–Ps. 34:8).

✝ *JESUS ALWAYS WINS THE DAY.*
People can say nothing against Him.

πŸ“–2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

✝ *NOBODY ELSE saves, heals, expels devils and fills people with joy. ONLY JESUS!*

πŸ“–Mark 7:37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, HE HATH DONE ALL THINGS WELL: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

✝ *And NOBODY CAN know what He is like until they meet Him.*

πŸ“–Matthew 11:28 COME UNTO ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN OF ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

*THANKSGIVING: The LIFESTYLE Of The BELIEVER (Part 1⃣)

πŸ“–Ephesians 1:3 BLESSED be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ

πŸ“ *The New Creation was not "BORN" to necessarily Request for ANYTHING. The New Creation was Born to Enjoy ALL THINGS and Appreciate GOD for EVERYTHING!*

πŸ“–1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in The Living GOD, Who GIVETH US RICHLY ALL THINGS TO ENJOY

*The NEW Creation was Born an HEIR OF ALL THINGS (πŸ“–1 Cor 3:21); therefore he was designed to be a WORSHIPPER not a WARRIOR (πŸ“–John 4:23-24).*

You may be PHYSICALLY CASHLESS doesn't mean you are POTENTIALLY MONEYLESS, just as much as been LONELY doesn't mean you are ALONE.
(πŸ“–Psa 46:1 πŸ“–Heb 13:5-6)

*JESUS never goes on VACATION when it comes to the New Creation. HE could never bring Himself to a point where He ABANDON you; even if HE wanted to, HE couldn't. Why? He has bound Himself by an ETERNAL OATH of an EVER-ABIDING Presence WITH and IN those who Believe IN Him.* πŸ“–John 14:23

Your Limitation is in your Thought Pattern (which should be Properly Positioned on JESUS CHRIST)
πŸ“–Isa 26:3. Your UNRENEWED MINDSET is why you THINK you are BROKE or POOR.

*Your Wealth IN CHRIST is INEXHAUSTIBLE. Why? Because in the mind of God you are Abundantly Supplied.*
πŸ“–2 Cor 8:9 πŸ“–Rev 2:8-9

Can't You See? There's so much to APPRECIATE GOD for instead of DEPRECIATING in Ungratefulness.

πŸ“ *Whenever you ask for what has already been made AVAILABLE, what has already been PROVIDED for you, GOD considers you a BABE.*

Let's Take WISDOM For An Example:

*Why ask for Wisdom (πŸ“–James 1:5) when CHRIST has been made unto you WISDOM?* (πŸ“–1 Cor 1:30).
If you notice, there is an obvious conditional word "IF" in πŸ“–James 1:5...

Meaning you shouldn't be lacking it in the first place. But come to think of it, If πŸ“–Psa 23:1 is True then why ask for Wisdom as if you LACK it?!??!

πŸ“ *The New Creation is not supposed to be SUPPLICATING for wisdom, we're supposed to be SPEAKING Wisdom.*

We SPEAK Wisdom; We Don't SUPPLICATE It
(πŸ“–1 Cor 2:6).

*CHRIST is our WISDOM BANK and He lives right inside us... So we have UNLIMITED and UNRESTRICTED ACCESS to UNPRECEDENTED WISDOM.* πŸ“–Col 2:3

That an UNBELIEVER is INTELLIGENT or SMART doesn't mean he is wise.
πŸ‘‰ *INTELLIGENCE Is Gained Through EDUCATION*
πŸ‘‰ *SMARTNESS Is Gained Through EXPERIENCE*
πŸ‘‰ *WISDOM Is Gained Through The REVELATION Of The PERSON Of JESUS CHRIST* (πŸ“–Eph 1:17)

πŸ“ *GOD the FATHER has made JESUS the MASTER KEY πŸ”‘ to the TREASURE HOUSE 🏑 Of All INHERITANCES Available In God's Kingdom.*

Instead of WARING for them, WORSHIP Him for them. Why we BLESS GOD is because He first BLESSED US (πŸ“–Eph 1:3 πŸ“–1 John 4:19)

*Whether you physically have a thing or not, GIVE THANKS to God IN The NAME of JESUS because your BLESSING as a BELIEVER has nothing to do with Physical Achievements or Material Possessions, PRIMARILY.*

Money πŸ’° πŸ’΅, Cars πŸš— 🚌, Houses 🏑 Etc are not THE BLESSING... They are the RESULT Of THE BLESSING. (πŸ“–Prov 10:22 πŸ“–Gal 3:13-14)

Beloved, see Bible oooooooooo
πŸ‘‰ πŸ“–1 Thessalonians 5:18
IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

*As We BLESS GOD for The BLESSING (Jesus Christ), His Ability Through The Holy Ghost is Released to Activate The BLESSINGS!*

GOD Bless You By ALLLLLL Means IN JESUS Name Dearrrrrr!

03/09/2021

πŸ† *JESUS: The ESSENCE Of LIFE!* πŸ†

πŸ“–John 6:51 I AM THE LIVING BREAD which came down FROM HEAVEN: if any man EAT of this bread, he shall LIVE FOR EVER: and THE BREAD that I will give IS MY FLESH, which I will GIVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.

JESUS is the LIVING LOGOS of GOD! He was bold to call Himself that before the Jews and the Sanhendrin (Phareesess, Sadducees and Scribes). *Truly, JESUS' FEARLESSNESS is Worth Emulating.*

JESUS, calling Himself The LIVING BREAD is more than just
πŸ‘‰ *A DESCRIPTION of His PERSONALITY* or
πŸ‘‰ *A DEFINITION of His IDENTITY*

IT is
πŸ‘‰ *AN EXPLANATION of His CAPABILITY* (hence He said, "if any man EAT ME, he shall LIVE forever).

He called Himself the LIVING BREAD 🍞 in comparison to the MANNA that their ancestors ate in the wilderness.

πŸ“–John 6:49 Your FATHERS did EAT manna in the wilderness, and are DEAD.

The Patriarchs ATE and DIED because it was GOD'S TEMPORARY SUPPLY. *It had ability to dissipate hunger but it didn't have the CAPACITY to GENERATE life and SUSTAIN it.*

WHYβ“πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Because *JESUS was GOD'S ORIGINAL AGENDA for mankind* (beginning with the JEWS first, that's why He went first unto His own, πŸ“–John 1:11).

*JESUS CHRIST was (and still is and forever will be) GOD'S PERMANENT PROVISION for the PEOPLES of today and for POSTERITY.* See πŸ‘‡

πŸ“–John 6:50 THIS is the bread which cometh down from heaven, THAT a man may eat thereof, and not die.

βœ’ Notice The *THIS* and *THAT* βœ’

*THIS*:
It's indicative of AUTHORITATIVE SPECIFICITY.

JESUS is telling them fearlessly that HE IS (not May Be) The BREAD SENT FROM HEAVEN; in other words, He was the FATHER'S ORIGINAL PROVIDENCE and He had finally arrived.

There was NO SENSE OF UNCERTAINTY...
He was πŸ’―% SURE yet they were πŸ’―% UNWILLING. Thank God WE have accepted This Bread from Heaven. Now, we are alive unto GOD. Hallelujah.

*THAT*:
It's indicative of PURPOSE, REASON, INTENTION.

JESUS is stating here that the Father's reason or purpose or intention for sending Him (The Living Bread 🍞) at this time was *not to SURVEY a planet of people He had created but to SECURE, SUSTAIN and SUPPLY to them the LIFE OF GOD* if they would "EAT HIM" (which means to ACCEPT HIM, Believing solely IN and Relying completely ON Him).

*You see, if you "live life" outside JESUS you will be "MERELY EXISTING" not "TRULY LIVING",* after all, He wasn't talking to dead bodies; they were listening and responding but they lacked the TRUE ESSENCE OF LIFE which is WHO Jesus is and WHAT He carried in His DIVINE VESSEL (His Flesh).

βœ’ What does it mean to *"MERELY EXIST"?* βœ’

It means to go through this physical world and do all that is expected (schooling, working, marrying, fathering, mothering, leading, singing, dancing, acting, governing, presiding, spending etc) yet LACKING the TRUE SATISFACTION, which can only be found in JESUS CHRIST.

There are those who have made "making and pursuing MONEY πŸ’°" their PRIORITY. It's a pity!
See what the Scripture says about it:

πŸ“–Ecclesiastes 5:10 He that LOVETH silver (money) shall NOT BE SATISFIED with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

If you think that making and pursuing money will bring you satisfaction ask yourself why most of the world's wealthiest BUSINESS GURUS and ENTREPRENEURIAL TYCOONS are committing su***de.

It's not wrong to DESIRE money but to make it your PURSUIT and your LIFE'S PRIORITY is to desire DOOM without knowing.

*Making and Pursuing MONEY outside THE MONEY MAKER (JESUS CHRIST πŸ“–Deut 8:18) is tantamount to ENDLESS MISERY and MISFORTUNE. You cannot circumvent JESUS and enjoy True Satisfaction.*

πŸ“–Romans 8:5 For they that are AFTER THE FLESH do MIND (focus on) the things of the flesh; but they that are AFTER THE SPIRIT the things of the Spirit. 8:6 For to be CARNALLY MINDED is DEATH; but to be SPIRITUALLY MINDED is LIFE and PEACE. 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

βœ’ TRUE SATISFACTION βœ’

You can have RICHES without JESUS (Alhaji Aliku Dangote is the richest man in Africa, yet he's not Born Again) but you can NEVER have REST for your Soul without HIM.

πŸ“–Matthew 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and LEARN OF ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: AND ye shall FIND REST unto YOUR SOULS.

Do you understand now why JESUS Is The Essence Of Life!??! Another synonym for ESSENCE is FRAGRANCE or PERFUME.

πŸ‘‰ *Without JESUS Life STINKS!*
πŸ‘‰ *Without JESUS Life has NO ATTRACTION!*
πŸ‘‰ *Without JESUS Life Is LIFELESS!*

Beloved, JESUS CHRIST Is The ESSENCE Of LIFE! What does this actually mean?
By this we mean that *JESUS is "THAT THING" that makes life TRULY successful, TRULY satisfying and TRULY secured.*

πŸ“–Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (life's utmost vitality).

βœ’ JESUS: Life And Light! βœ’

Apostle John, The Beloved, in his Epistle said:

πŸ“–1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 5:12 HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

In other words, *HAVING JESUS means you have what makes life TRULY satisfying, TRULY successful and TRULY secured.*

IN JESUS CHRIST
πŸ‘‰ *We Have TRUE SUCCESS*
πŸ‘‰ *We Have TRUE SATISFACTION*
πŸ‘‰ *We Have TRUE SECURITY*

Apostle John in his Gospels had initially stated that:
πŸ“–John 1:4 IN Him (JESUS CHRIST) was LIFE; and the life was the LIGHT OF MEN.

βœ’ What was the duty of this LIGHT? βœ’

πŸ“–John 1:9 That was the TRUE LIGHT, which LIGHTS every man that cometh into the world.

Have you asked yourself why Apostle John wrote that? He gave us the answer in his first Epistle:
πŸ“–1 John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and (but) the WHOLE WORLD LIETH IN WICKEDNESS (DARKNESS).

See how the Amplified Translation puts it:
AMP: We know [positively] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] is under the power of the evil one.

Do you know what this means?
Heyyyyyy JESU ooooooooo
See Bible oooooooooo
*It simply means without JESUS no one stands a chance in this world.* Because though the devil has been defeated yet the world (having refused JESUS) is still under the INFLUENCE of the devil 😈.

πŸ“–2 Cor 4:4
AMP: For the God OF THIS WORLD (Satan) has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ (the Messiah), Who is the Image and Likeness of God.

*This is why ABBA FATHER came as JESUS to be the LIGHT (HOPE) of the World because He (JESUS) is the ONLY ONE that darkness cannot COMPREHEND or SUBDUE or OVERCOME or OVERTHROW or , OVERPOWER, or CONTEND with.*

πŸ“–John 1:5
AMP: And the Light shines on in the darkness, for the darkness has never OVERPOWERED it [put it out or absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].

This is why JESUS said "You MUST Be Born Again" (πŸ“–John 3:7). Why? Because when a person gets Born Again by BELIEVING, ACCEPTING and CONFESSING the LORDSHIP OF CHRIST, JESUS become the LIGHT that lights up both the PERSON and his SPHERE OF CONTACT.

In other words,
πŸ‘‰ *If you MUST be Truly Successful*
πŸ‘‰ *If you MUST be Truly Satisfied*
πŸ‘‰ *If you MUST be Truly Secured*
Then, *JESUS Is THE WAY To Go!*

There's a song that says: *"Christ Is Enough For ME"!* Beautiful song.... But please don't just let it be a mere RHYTHM to you, let it become a REALITY!

βœ’ The CONCLUSION βœ’

*Why JESUS gave His FLESH for the LIFE of the world!*

πŸ“–John 6:51 I AM the LIVING BREAD which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and THE BREAD that I will give IS MY FLESH, which I WILL GIVE FOR THE LIFE OF THE WORLD.

Isn't that amazing? This is worth celebrating. But how can you truly rejoice if you don't understand what it means? So let ME CONSTRUE (πŸ“š To interpret or explain the meaning of something).

When GOD, through JESUS, by the Spirit, made the world and everything in it, He made MAN in his image and gave him DOMINION (πŸ“–Gen 1:26-28)

What this means is that *EVERYTHING was supposed to RESPOND to MAN. Everything was supposed to be at man's beck and call.* But Man committed high treason in disobedience to GOD and in direct obedience to the devil (πŸ“–Gen 3). *Therefore, whatever used to RESPOND to Man CEASED TO RESPOND.*

The WORLD as it were had become "DEAD" (unresponsive). So for any man to DESIRE and DEMAND for anything this world (safety, success, security, supply, etc) he would need to SACRIFICE a LAMB so that the "Dormant" Forces of the World would awaken to respond accordingly.

*However, GOD had a BETTER HOPE (JESUS CHRIST) in mind* (πŸ“–Heb 9:17). So when John The Baptist declared that JESUS was the LAMB OF GOD (πŸ“–John 1:19) *he was announcing GOD'S PERMANENT REMEDY.*

GOD, then, deliberately delivered JESUS for our offences (which started in Adam and Eve) and raised HIM up again for our JUSTIFICATION (πŸ“–Rom 4:25).

Jesus TOOK AWAY the SIN and DEATH that entered this world through Adam (πŸ“–Rom 5:12), that thing that DEADENED and WEAKENED the World and made it UNRESPONSIVE to Man.

*So now that JESUS (being The Lamb of God) has given His Flesh (The BREAD that is LIVING) on the CROSS, the world MUST OF NECESSITY RESPOND to those who BELIEVE in JESUS CHRIST.*

Take these Scriptures:
πŸ“–1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For "ALL THINGS" ARE YOURS

πŸ“–Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, "ALL THINGS" are POSSIBLE to him that believeth.

*From today, make BOLD declarations USING the NAME of JESUS and EXPECT Life and the World to RESPOND to you. This is your INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus!*

Glorrrrrrry πŸ’ƒ to πŸ’ƒJESUS πŸ’ƒForever! 🎊

πŸ“–2 Timothy 2:7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

πŸŒŸπŸ“š The πŸ“šπŸŒŸ Of Of The πŸ‘‘

πŸ† *NOT Appointed To Wrath!* πŸ†

πŸ“–1 Thess 5:9
AMP: *For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us],* but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)

*Beloved, believe me, it is very ANNOYING when you hear some Christians, even so called Ministers, talk about OUR SALVATION as though JESUS didn't FINISH what He was sent by the Father to do.*

Look, *Jesus Christ wasn't like Moses* who only brought Israel out of Egypt and preserved them but COULDN'T bring them eventually into the Promised Land. (πŸ“–Hosea 12:13)

πŸ”Š Listen to JESUS praying to the Father, moments before He embraced the suffering of the Cross:
πŸ“–John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: *I HAVE FINISHED THE WORK WHICH THOU GAVEST ME TO DO.*

πŸ”Š Listen to JESUS, while on the Cross:
πŸ“–John 19:30 When JESUS therefore had received the vinegar, he said, *IT IS FINISHED:* and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

What is most preposterous and unfortunate about these BELOVED yet ignorant and fickle minded Christians is that they even sound personally convinced and convincing to their hearers when addressing issues concerning our ETERNAL SECURITY, stating and emphasizing that a person who is genuinely Born Again could still lose his salvation for whatever reason; SIN basically.

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ Quick Question ❓
I want to ask, *"Isn't SIN the reason JESUS came?* So, what did He do about SIN"?

πŸ“–Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, *God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, CONDEMNED SIN in the flesh:*

Did you get that πŸ‘†?
Maybe you did... Maybe you didn't!
But perhaps another translation would help:

πŸ“–Romans 8:3
AMP: For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] *CONDEMNED SIN in the flesh [SUBDUED, OVERCAME, DEPRIVED IT OF ITS POWER over all who accept that sacrifice]*

OMG 😱 😱 😱 Did you see that πŸ‘† 😱 😱 😱 ?

Can you see why Lucifer will do ANYTHING to ensure that people don't ACCEPT THAT SACRIFICE!?!?

With that being said, Now Listen To Me (am about to go ballistic... * *:

*If WE (BELIEVERS) can STILL be allegeable to go to Hell πŸ”₯ after we have met God's REQUIREMENT (which is faith in JESUS as stated in πŸ“–John 3:16)*

THEN πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘‰ *God's plan of Salvation is a FALLACY*
πŸ‘‰ *Jesus' sacrifice was for NOTHING*
πŸ‘‰ *The Holy Ghost is here on earth 🌍 on a BASELESS MISSION.*
(GOD Forbid! Far from it!)

*Christianity is a CALLING; It's a divine APPOINTMENT that cannot be altered by any force or vice anywhere.* Your disagreement is absolutely inconsequential at this point.

*God Himself CANNOT ANNUL what He has established otherwise He'll be tampering with His Own eternal nature and character.*

πŸ“–Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, *whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it:* and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.

πŸ“ Things To Note About Our Salvation! πŸ“

1⃣ *THE FATHER did not appoint us to suffer the same wrath (judgement) that awaits the rest of the world who would reject JESUS.*

πŸ“–1 Thessalonians 1:10
And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even *JESUS,* which *DELIVERED US FROM THE WRATH TO COME.*

2⃣ *THE FATHER did not SELECT (choose) us to condemn us.*

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚ So, what did He choose us for?
πŸ“–John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, THAT ye should go and bring forth fruit, and THAT your fruit should remain: THAT whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

πŸ‘‰ *He chose us for PRODUCTIVITY*
πŸ‘‰ *He chose us for PRODUCTIVE DURABILITY*
πŸ‘‰ *He chose us to guarantee us ANSWERS TO PRAYERS.*

Therefore, if you get to a point in your Christian walk where condemnation is beginning to creep up on you, remember πŸ‘‡

πŸ“–1 John 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, GOD IS GREATER THAN OUR HEART, and knoweth all things.

3⃣ *THE FATHER has chosen and handpicked us to procure, acquire and gain possession of His Salvation.*

πŸ“–Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and AS MANY AS WERE ORDAINED TO ETERNAL LIFE BELIEVED.

4⃣ *THE FATHER determined that EVERYTHING from start to finish as far as His Salvation plan was concerned would be PREDICATED ON JESUS.*

πŸ“–1 Thess 5:9
NIV: For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation *THROUGH* OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.

In other words, *WITHOUT JESUS none of these aforementioned glories could or would have become a reality.*

GOD didn't plan for JESUS to be circumvented (by passed) in the bid to OBTAIN Salvation... *To do that is to arrive at a point or place where whatever looks like "salvation" would be nothing but "DAMNATION" IN DISGUISE.*

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚ *HOW* did God accomplish His eternal appointment as mentioned in πŸ“–1 Thess 5:9????

βœ… *The DEATH of JESUS!*
πŸ“–1 Thess 5:10
AMP: WHO DIED FOR US so that whether we are still alive or are dead [at Christ’s appearing], we might live together with Him and share His life.

Through JESUS' death, the Father accomplished His intentions perfectly and absolutely, such that whatever would desire to tamper with His intentions would have to undo the death of JESUS; which is impossible. That's how impossible it is for ANYONE or ANYTHING to alter (change) what God has purposed for us who have answered His Call.

The Death of JESUS was GOD'S GUARANTEE; the guarantee that IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for ANY OF HIS OWN to be lost or suffer DAMNATION (Hell πŸ”₯).

πŸ“–John 10:28
AMP: *And I give them ETERNAL LIFE, and they shall NEVER LOSE IT OR PERISH THROUGHOUT THE AGES. [TO ALL ETERNITY THEY SHALL NEVER BY ANY MEANS BE DESTROYED.] And no one is able to sn**ch them out of My hand.*

πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚ *WHY* did GOD accomplish His appointment?

Jesus both DIED and ROSE AGAIN so that whether we DIE or remain ALIVE we would FOREVER enjoy fellowship with the Father, sharing His LIFE with Him. Glorrrrrrry HalleJESUS!

πŸ“–Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living.

*Oh, The Christian Life: Such A Beautiful Life!*
This is 😁 😍 πŸ’ƒπŸ•Ί

GOD BLESS YOU BY ALL MEANS IN JESUS NAME
