“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2Cor 5:21
Jesus took our place as sinner 2000 years ago; a crown of thorn was put on Him, they spat on Him, mocked Him, Slapped Him and eventually killed Him on the cross of Calvary. He went through all these so that everyone who repents and believes in Him can be free from the hold of Sin, Satan and Sickness.
Beloved, you have been made the righteousness of God through Him and so free from the judgment that is meant for the wicked. Any attempt by the devil to keep you in bondage to sin and sickness must be resisted. Jesus went through poverty so that you should be rich, He went through pain so that you should be healthy, He went through bondage so that you should be free, He went through death so that you should be alive. He took your place so that the benefits of the righteous should be your portion.
Now everyone must repent and accept Jesus; including your colleagues, your boss, your friends and those you know who have not taken the step to become children of God. None of them need to suffer for sin anymore because Jesus had taken their place. You can use this Easter season to send a message of God’s love to them.
But as for you, begin to enforce all that Jesus did for you.
Happy Easter

Your Identity & The Challenges of Life
“Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel,and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.” 1 Samuel 17:9.
Don’t allow the challenges you are facing redefine your identity. The first thing Goliath did was to give a wrong identity to the people of Israel. He called them servants of Saul but that is not their true identity. They accepted the lies and since Saul was there and could do nothing, they felt they could not deal with Goliath. They forgot that their true identity is in God. They are the covenant children of God and as a result God had performed miracles in their lives which was more than the challenge from Goliath. For 40days Goliath terrorized them until a man who knew their true identity came to the scene.
“Then David spoke…For who is this uncircumcised Philistine that should defy the ARMIES OF THE LIVING GOD.” 1 Sam 17:26.
Brethren, you are a child of the living God. No matter the challenges before you, the bible tells us that we are more than conquerors.You are not a failure neither are you a weakling. You are no longer under curse, you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus.As you go through life, remember who you are in God and let that give you boldness to overcome the challenges of life.
Now if you have not given your life to Christ, then you have no identity with Him and the enemy can terrorize you. Repent today, ask Jesus to come into your life so your identity will change and your name will be written in the book of life.
Your day is blessed.

What have you done with this?
“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him?” Mathew 7:11
One of the greatest promises of God to you in the Bible is Mathew 7:7 -Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you. The Lord told me to ask you what have you done with this verse?
In Mark 6:17-26, the wicked Herodias wanted to punish John the Baptist, she wanted revenge for the evil she believed he had done her, when he publicly declared her wrong as wrong and evil. She got the “opportunity” when a mere earthly king told her daughter: “Whatever you shall ask from me, I will give it to you, to the half of my kingdom”. The wicked woman told the daughter to ask for the head of John the Baptist. Although the king was not happy with the request, he gave it to her because of his integrity.
Beloved, Mathew 7:7 is one of the greatest opportunities God is giving to you. God has exalted His word more than His name. The scripture cannot be broken. The integrity of God’s word surpasses that of men or even a wicked king. Do you need a good thing? Or are you in a desperate situation? Don’t worry, ask God and He will respond to you.
Have a blessed day.
