What is the Cross all about?

During a Church service I saw in a vision the Cross and light shines forth from the Cross covering the congregation. And I received this revelation about the Church being under the grace of God. When a person comes to Christ, he enters into the grace of God.

You see, the whole earth was cursed since the time of Adam. Ever since that time, man lived with a heavy burden upon his life. He was disconnected from God so there was no way that he can come to God. And he has to fight his way through life. He has to battle with his own kind, he has to battle with nature, and he has to battle against all other creatures and animals.

The Jews enjoyed a little bit of relief through the covenant of the Law. But that too was just as heavy a yoke as living without the Law. Nevertheless, God rejoined Himself to man so that if they keep the law, they will be blessed. But if they keep not the law, then they would suffer the consequences. And the Law was just too tough to keep that nobody was really able to keep it. But thanks be to God because He also provided a way to make up for their shortcomings through sacrifices.

The law was good but it still comes short of the life that God really wants for man. And so God sent His Son in the likeness of man to finally deal, once and for all, with the issue of sin. And He conquered sin for us! What we could not do, He did for us! And not only that, He even washed us clean with His own blood!

And so now we are no longer cursed, we are not under the law, but God has set us free! And this is really what the Cross is all about. It's about freedom! There was no way that man can ever get out of that curse for in the first place the curse was also a decree from God.

I remember that story in the book of Esther. The King could not withdraw back the decree that was already issued to destroy the Jews. What the King did was to issue another decree so that the Jews can defend themselves. The same story here. God cannot just take back the curse that He decreed way back during the time of Adam. But He made a way out of that curse and God made another decree. And that decree is in Jesus Christ, through faith in Jesus Christ. He's the only way. It is the way of the Cross; while the world outside remains accursed.

And so brother, if you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are now loosed from the curse! You are set free from the curse! And you can now dream big. Set your goals and achieve them to the glory of God the Father! You have a big life ahead of you. The destroyer cannot touch you because he has nothing in you. He has no case against you. Live your life a free man with the gift of God in your hands. Glorify Him through your life!

How do you know?

I asked: How do you know that when you die you will be with Jesus? Somebody said: 1Jn 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And WHAT are these who believe... 1Jn 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God... And what shall become of those who believe... Joh 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. I said: Yes, sure the Bible tells us that, and our Pastors tell us that. But how are you so sure that indeed you have eternal life? And again he says: Rom 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED. This is the glorious future of those whom the Father foreknew. Again I s...

Between God and the Politician

Often we hear during election time of Politicians platform of government and promised infrastructure projects should they be elected in office. But all those talk and speeches just go back to the filing cabinets once elections are through and kept hid until the next elections. So between God and the Politician is a great chasm, a great divide between truth and lies because Man's words are often empty, but the Word of God is never empty. Not because Man wants to lie but because he is not capable of keeping his every word. God on the other hand is able. God said: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings, and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts (Mal 4:2-3). Those words are not empty. Surely they come to pass to them which receives them. And God has declared it that ...

Treasure Nuggets

(Gen 2:17)  but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." This goes to show that God never intended man to die. Man was meant for eternity with God. It was when Adam ate of that fruit that death entered in and reigned. (Rom 5:20)  Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, Where to find grace? It is in the very area of your shortcoming. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more! Paul rejoices in his weaknesses for God says, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2Co 12:9). "   Paul declares, "For when I am weak, then I am strong!" Receive the grace of God where you have fallen, for it is there that grace abounds all the more! (Joh 15:3)  Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. The word of God is powerful. Let it dwell in you richly. It is through th...
