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.

ASK BIG THIS EASTER

Posted on by Uplifting Christ

Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

(Romans 8:32, NLT)

God made all things possible with Jesus Christ. He gave you His Best when you least deserved. The scripture says that God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8. You did not ask for it but He did it anyway.

Now you are His son/daughter and the issue of sin has been dealt with. As you stand before His throne, He welcomes and adores you because He gave His only Son to set you free from the bondage of Satan. He smiles and waits for you to ask for all you need to be fruitful.
A lot of times we spend hours murmuring about trivial things when He expects us to look at the broader picture of Life and the richness of His glory. Look at it this way; someone led you to Elon Musk and all you could talk about was how you think or feel life has not been fair to you. You could spend hours talking about the pains, unfair treatments, disappointments, etc. But does he care about that? Until you make your request(s), he may not know what you want from him and that would be a missed opportunity.

With God, unlike Elon who may have to guess what you wanted, He knows what you want but He wants you to solely trust Him and follow His principle; Ask and it shall be given. He is ready when you are ready. And there could not have been a better time to ASK than Easter when we remember His generosity towards mankind. Be encouraged to make the bold request and watch what He does in Jesus’ Name. God Bless You and Happy Easter.

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.
