Hold fast to the word of Christ

The word of God has the power to change and transform and is eternally true. The word of God is the truth. That's what the bible says.

What then does the word of God say about us, beloved of the Lord? It says we are made the righteousness of God in Christ! We are drafted into the kingdom of God. We are sons and daughters of the most high God. And whatever Jesus has sacrificed His life for us, we have it!

The divine exchange has taken place at the cross. Jesus has given us His righteousness for our sin. We are reconciled with Abba Father and we can go into His presence anytime, anywhere. We can go to the throne of grace in times of need to cry out Abba Father.

The word says we are made whole, completely healed through Jesus' bodily sacrifice. We are already the healed and not trying to be healed! We are fighting the disease from victory ground and not the other way around. We are to just hold fast to the truth that by Jesus' stripe, we are already the healed! Lying symptoms shall not take root in our bodies.

The bible says Jesus was made poor at the cross that we through His poverty shall be made rich. It is material blessings that Jesus has promised us though the source is spiritual. When we confess in line with His word regarding our financial situation, the financial situation has to turn around for our good. For God made all things good for His people.

Jesus has come as our kinsman redeemer. Whatever it is that we need Jesus to redeem us from, He has already done it at the cross. Jesus has proclaimed with a loud voice at the cross, "It is finished!" We are redeemed from the curse of the law. We are redeemed from broken relationship. We are redeemed from potential disaster.

Whatever we are believing God for, the answer is in the Word and Jesus is the Word. Hold fast to Jesus for He is the author and finisher of our faith. Hallelujah!

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it
will be opened to you. (Matthew 7:7)

We have not because we ask not. Therefore, ask the Lord for our needs! For
He cares. Cast all our cares upon Him and see the miraculous working power
of God manifestating itself magnificently in our lives.

When we ask the Lord for answer, we have to ask knowing that He has already
given us the answer. We can have the confident expectation that the need
has been answered as well. For bible hope doesn't disappoint! In His time,
we will see the manifestation.

When we ask according to His will, He will always answer exceedingly with
more than enough for our every need. I am NOT talking here about having
someone's spouse or someone's possession. I am referring to our need
according to what Jesus has paid for at the cross.

If healing is what we want, ask the Lord for His healing power to manifest
mightily in our lives. He loves to heal and is healing today. He is the
same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is the Healer. He is Healing
himself. Have no doubt the Jesus heals. Just believe in His word for
everyone who comes to Him is healed.

If we are trusting God for financial breakthrough, believe He will answer
with more than enough that we will become a blessing and a blessor to those
around us! Ask the Lord for the wisdom to get wealth for He has given us
the power to create wealth.

If we are asking the Lord to mend our family relationship, believe that the
Lord will restore the relationship to a level that exceeds our expectation
in a positive way. Whatever the case may be, be it reconciliation with
one's spouse, or dear immediate family member, God can restore that
relationship. Ask and believe.

Seek the Lord in our every dealing and He will prosper our way. He will
always guide us in the pathway of righteousness. Hallelujah.

Judge God based on the finished work at the cross!

Just before Christ dismissed His spirit at the cross, He cried with a
loud voice: "It is finished!" The redemptive work has been completed.
The divine exchange has taken place. And whosoever believes in Him shall
be saved!

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. He has completely
saved us from Adam's fall. With the finished work at the cross, He has
made those who believes in His finished work to be right with God.

When we are right with God, we are the righteousness of God in Christ.
We enjoy every spirit blessing which He has so dearly paid His life for.
We are to be the head and not the tail. We are a blessing to those
around us. We are to inherit the world and to have dominion over it!
Don't get me wrong here. We are kings and priests because of Jesus'
redemptive work at the cross. We are drafted into the Kingdom of God and
are sons and daughters of the Most High God. With our new identity in
Christ, we are to rule over our circumstances!

While some of us may be dealing with some form of dreaded diseases, or
even a "death sentence" has been pronounced by the doctors, we are to
look to Jesus the healer and healing Himself. The bible says whoever
beholds the bronzed serpent on the wooden pole shall be saved and will
not die! Behold Jesus and His finished work at the cross and see Him
taking our pains and diseases at the cross. For by His stripe, we are
already made whole, healed! We are not trying to be healed but already
healed. Just believe His word and see the miraculous manifestation of
His healing power in our lives!

Some of us may be facing a mountain of debt. Know this, Christ was made
poor at the cross that we through His poverty, shall be made rich. The
situation my be bad and even unbearable at times. We just have to
believe God is working behind the scenes to make sure we will end up
with more than enough! Keep believing and confessing we are already rich
and prosperous because of Jesus' finished work at the cross and in His
time, we will see the outward manifestation of material blessings!

Don't judged God based on our circumstances. Judge God based on the
finished work of Christ at the cross. Our circumstances can change but
the love of God for us will never change! Hallelujah!

Enjoy God's love personally

God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son to die at the
cross that through His death the world's people shall be saved.

There are some who think God will only love those who behave well or
those who obey His ten commandments. And there are some Christians who
think God will only love those who are "good" Christians. Holy! How
wrong are these people in their thinkings!

God indeed loves the world, but more importantly, He loves each of us
dearly. His love is very personal! The word says He calls me by my name.
How close is that?! He knows us so intimately that He knows the number
of hair on our heads. He loves us more than we love ourselves.

He will go the very extra mile to make sure all things turn out for our
good. Things may not be good but He will make sure it will turn out to
be good for His beloved child. Just trust in His grace and unconditional
love for each of us. His Fatherly love goes beyond how our natural
father loves us. His perfect love casts out all fears.

God wants us to know Him and His Son intimately as how best of pals
would behave. He wants to commune with us intimately. He wants us to
cast all our cares upon the feet of Jesus for He cares dearly for all
our wants and needs. He who feeds the birds and the lilies of the valley
will surely meet our every need. Know His love for us is personal. We
must appropriate His love personally as well.

Enjoy every moment with the Lord for He is good and His mercy endures
forever. Hallelujah!
