IMMUNITY POWERED BY RIGHTEOUSNESS

TEXT Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.

 MESSAGE
The Spirit of God indicates that th righteous will be imuned against any form of attack. Righteousness is not an activity. It is a state of being. Just as men are called human beings, so the righteous is a righteous being, not just a human being. He carries the nature of God and as such functions as God according to the degree of his knowledge of God and who God has made him

That is why the righteous don't just die. The righteous who knows his God can only lay down his life maybe due to persecution. So when the devil threatens the righteous with death, we can rightly laugh him to scorn because death has no power over righteousness. Death is a judgement. The righteous is uncondemnable (Romans 8:1) he cannot be judged because Jesus has born his judgement. Thus rather than being judged, the righteous judges all things (1Cor 2:15).

Jesus is our template. For him to die, he had to make an exchange. He took our place in sin and gave us His righteousness. Then he willingly laid down his life. Otherwise no army could capture him. You will notice that when He declared his identity to the soldiers that came to capture him, they all fell down impotent before him (John. 18:3-8). He had to willingly give himself to them and for their safety refrained from declaring his identity from thenceforth. Even when he laid down his life to die the death of a sinner, once He was justified in the spirit, all hell could not hold him bound. Death lost its hold on Him and He ressurected ( 1Peter 3:18, 1Tim 3:26, ROM 1:3-4 Acts 2:28) .

This righteousness that death cannot overcome; this righteousness that renders powerless and impotent the armies of men and of hell has been given to you as a child of God. Thus no weapon formed against you shall prosper. Any weapon formed against the righteous is doomed to fail. You are heavily defended and powerfully protected. Praise God!!

PRAYER
Thank you Father for giving me your righteousness

I have the righteousness of God. I am justified and beyond condemnation

No weapon formed against me shall prosper because my righteousness is of God!

I frustrate and paralyze every weapon and army of darkness projected against me, my life , ministry, business, etc

I receive immunity ROM sickness and death in the name of Jesus

Pray in the spirit and pray for the church if Christ.

GO IN THIS THY MIGHT

TEXT: Judges 6:14 And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee? MESSAGE: While Gideon was still sckeptic of ever being able to engage his oposition in battle God gave him the battle instruction. God already told him that His presence with Gideon will ensure his easy victory. But he added one very key instruction that ties up everything together. He said GO IN THIS THY MIGHT What might was the Lord talking about? This might God says is the presence of the Lord by which he will defeat the enemy as though they were just one man (Judges 6:16). The Lord was saying that he should advance against his opposition being strong in the Lord. We shall explore this phrase in a couple of days, but one thing that we must get today is that we must go in the strength of God alone. There is always a tendency to engage your challenges with other forms of strength. It is wrong to engage your challenge...

SEIZE THE MOMENT 2: HOW TO ESCAP JUDGEMENT

Image
TEXT: Luke 23:39-42   39  And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  40  But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  41  And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  42  And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. MESSAGE The malefactor (as he is called in our text) is actually crucified and facing his last moments on earth, he seizes the moment. In one desperate cry he turned the course of his destiny. He is on the brink of everlasting torment in hell. But just before he falls into eternal doom, one sentence saves him. He calls to the Lord. He didn't have the time to weep over his sins and the consequence. He had an audacity of faith and dared to ask for life in paradise. Guess what? He g...

THE MANUAL FOR ETERNAL LIFE

TEXT: 2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness MESSAGE Most people today, especially in this part of the world, buy appliances and never bother to go through the manual. The result is that they either soon damage the appliance or grossly under utilize it. Someone once bought a very expensive android tablet and all he could do with it was to make and receive calls. he ran everywhere to send e-mails. He spent hours at business centres trying to get his documents typed. Many other things he suffered because he never knew that his tablet could be used to solve all of those issues. In much the same way, when we receive eternal life into our spirits, it will be foolish of us to just assume that we know what to do with it. Just as the wisest thing anybody that bought an applicance would do is to check for the manufacturer's instruction in the manual, so also...
