Christ Diplomat (Exhortations)

TEXT: Romans 6:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? MESSAGE No matter what the devil throws at you, be it pain or pleasure; attack or allure, his end is to separate you from the love of God. He can no more stop God from loving you than a man could stop the sun from shining. He however means to stop you from receiving or relating with God's love just as a man can blindfold another from seeing the light of the sun That has been his trick from the very beginning back then in Eden. He's not got much up his sleeves. Unfortunately many still fall for the same 6,000 year old trick. You wonder why. Religion is the snare that makes even Christians to be susceptible to the tricks of the devil. Religion or the traditions of men (as Jesus calls it Matt.15:1-7) is man's idea of of how they believe they could please God. The evil in religion may not be evident in the beginning. ...

TEXT: 2Cor 5:14-15  14  For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15  And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. MESSAGE The consciousness of God's love is the purpose and crux of the Message of Grace. When you begin to relate with this message, it  makes your life an endless stream of praise and thanksgiving. You cannot stop praising God. Your prayer language will change from complaining and murmuring to thanksgiving. Since you know that God has unconditional love for you, you will understand that He delights to grant any request you make. No wonder Jesus premised his invitation unto prayer on the love of God. He says; "at that day ye shall ask in my name: and i say not unto you, that i will pray the father for you: for the father himself loveth you..." (John 16:26-27) The c...

TEXT: Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. MESSAGE The Gospel of Grace is the Good News of God's unconditional love for man which he expresses in giving us Jesus His only begotten Jesus so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but  have the same life that God has--everlasting life (John 3:16). It is the news of God unusual love by which he offers His best, His life packaged in Jesus to condemned criminals like us who deserve nothing but death and destruction. Now that you are in Christ Jesus, the Gospel of Grace tells you that the unconditional love of God does not end after conversion, neither does it become qualified or conditional. Rather it remains with you. " [If] While we were still God’s enemies, God’s Son died. He died so that we could become God’s friends. So, even more certainly, now that we are God’s friends, his Son will save us. Christ will save us because he...

TEXT: Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. MESSAGE Grace is not that concept that makes us think God has changed his perspective about sin thereby giving us licence to misbehave. That is very far from the truth! Now one of the first thing you must understand about the work of grace as it relates to sin is that by grace we have become the sons of God and God treats us as His children not slaves or strangers. Now consider a parent and the child. Does bashing your dad's car make him disown you? Of course not! Rather, a sincer apology and maybe a promise not to repeat the wrong may put an end to the issue forever, grave as the offence may seem! Thereafter normal relationship returns. Even if you were arrested by the police for damaging someone else's fence with the car, your Father comes to bail you out and helps you through the case. You see, many of us think we are more loving than God. You don't chastise y...
