Already Paid

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.

(1 Corinthians 6:20, CEV)

Scenario:
You went to the Supermarket to get some thing items; you filled your basket and joined the queue to make payment. When it got to your turn, as the staff scanned your items, you realized that you had exceeded your budget so you tried to remove some of the items but the staff told you to leave them. After scanning, he/she told you that a billionaire had made deposit, enough to cover for the bill of every customer as long as the shop remains. The staff continued that the billionaire’s intention is that if there is a need, people can come in to pick or receive what they want.

Message:
God has already paid the price/cost for your life. Everything you would ever need in this world has already been paid for and there is enough provision for you. If He said that Ask and it shall be given, without placing any restriction, then you can be sure that whatever means whatever.

A lot of times believers are afraid to go to God when they sin. They find it more convenient to ask God for their physical needs than to ask for their spiritual needs. But keep in mind that the God who gives also forgives. That was why Jesus did the two during His days on earth. Your needs have already been paid for. Gather confidence as God’s child and approach Him, knowing that the provisions were made before you were born. Like the supermarket scenario, the billionaire made the deposit before you went into the shop.

In this year, if there are areas in your life where you are struggling and sometimes feel shy to talk about it. Some behaviors are crippling you down and/or holding you hostage, to the point that you feel guilty to (even) pray. Know that God has paid for the remedy. What you need to do is to make a 180 degrees turn, repent, and turn to God. Be determined to make progress in the right direction. Like the little child who is determined to walk, although you will may stumble and/or fall many times, you will surely stand firm and walk straight. God has paid the price.

You are not alone in this struggle. Every person you see has got something he/she is working on, and that includes your spiritual leader(s). No one has reached the point of perfection yet so keep moving forward. Jesus Christ has laid a strong foundation for you to build on. That is, to carry out the purpose for which you were born. When he returns, He is going to judge you on what you did with what He did.
All you need to live Free on earth and to make it to Heaven has already been paid for so make use of them whiles there is time. God bless you.

Beware of The Liar’s Whisper

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

(1 Peter 5:8, NLT)

There is no doubt that Satan is smart. After all he existed before you were born and he understands this world better. That is why I believe that no human in his natural capabilities can defeat him. Don’t be deceived when someone tells you that Satan is no match for you when you have no relationship with Jesus Christ.

The mastermind of all deceits is Satan. He knows the scriptures too so he is able to twist the truth for his purpose. Nothing on this earth is new to him but he is a liar. Jesus said ‘He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. ‘ (John 8:44,NLT)

Satan knows how to whisper into your ears, right down into your soul. He waits for an opportunity to present his facts about the situation, add all dots to make it appear real. He can make you doubt your partner without a cause, and also make you hate your neighbor for nothing. Has it ever happened to you when every action of your neighbor had a meaning and fits perfectly into certain narrative you had perceived. Then you later approached him/her only to realize that he/she meant no harm and was even surprised that you would think that way.

The Liar’s whisper is real and prevalent. He would whisper about your health, work, business, finances, family and relationship with people, church, etc. He is probably whispering into your ears now. Beware! Don’t believe his lies “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Ephesians 2:20, NLT)

‘Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. ‘

(1 Peter 5:8, NLT)

God Is Able

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us

(Ephesians 3:20, AMP)

Ephesians 3:20 says that God is able to do…more than we dare ask or think. This means that the limits you have set for yourself are not from God. Any limit you see is not with God. God is able.

If you can think it, God is able. If you can imagine it, God is able. If you can make the move forward, his support is readily available.

In this year, what do you want to do? How far do you want to go? Everything lies with you. God is able.

Permit the Holy Spirit to change your heart, to change your thoughts so that you can see from God’s viewpoint and know that there is no limit with God. This will shape the way you pray and/or ask from God. He will also help you to see God in the realm of possibilities. Always remember that God is able.
