Christ Diplomat (Exhortations)

TEXT : 2Tim 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. MESSAGE: When we call upon the name of the Lord, we are saved. We receive instant gift of Righteousness. Righteousness is not holiness but it puts upon you the ability and responsibility to be holy. Righteousness is a state of being that God translate you into when you become a Christian. It is a garment that God gives to any one who believes in Jesus and confesses Him as Lord. It is not a function of what you did or did not do. It is not a function of your effort. It is given to you as a gift. Holiness on the other hand is obedience to God. whatever you do or abstain from doing in obedience to the Word and will of God is a manifestation of holiness. So if God says to love your wife and never be violent on her, and in obedience to God you comply, you are holy to that extent. If God says to...

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 Any child of God that dies out of sickness is most likely to have died out of ignorance or doubt of what his righteousness is up to. Like I've always maintained, death and its agents are judgement passed on man by reason of sin. So the forces of the enemy stand on the judgement to afflict man. But when you give your life to Jesus, you have a life that is beyond condemnation. Firstly because Christ has born your judgement and you cannot be judged twice for the same charge. Jesus actually exchanged your life with His. He took over your cursed and condemned life and, he bore the full judgement. Then He gave you His divine and righteous life which has never sinned. Thus when God sees a born again child of God, He sees a just,...

TEXT: Hos 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you MESSAGE : Many people complain that they do not get result. They seem to be enstranged from the mercies of God. When you tell them God is a merciful God, deep down in their hearts, they do not agree with you because they have not exprienced God's mercy. All they know of God is judgement. They do their best at things and not get result. They pay tithe and things seem to get tighter. They give offering and they keep suffering. They sow and don't reap. Is there a way out?  Well there is. The reason why you are workin like an elephant and eatin like an ant is becuase you are not reaping in mercy. It is the mercy of God that makes us have a bountiful harvest (Rom 9:16). When you reap in mercy, the little you put your hand will yeield aboundantly. How can you ensure that you reap in mercy? God says to sow in...
