FIRST DAY AND THE REMAINING DAYS SHOULD HAD BEEN SABBATH

By -



The very first day man was created to experience is the day of rest. God made sure He concluded the all the works during the days of labour before He created man because He didn’t wanted to create man into work but rest. Glory
The Sabbath is a day of rest and holiness and fellowship with God, and these are what God created to be man’s constant experience in the Eden but for fall championed by the devil man missed this constant blissful life.
When the curse came in Gen. 3:17, work and hard labour began for man but because God still had plans to restore the Sabbath (rest, holiness and fellowship) He instructed the Jews to still remember the Sabbath every seventh day to keep it holy and to fellowship with Him and by that keep the hope burning in them of the time when Sabbath would nolonger be a one day event in every 7 days but a constant event in their lives as God has intended in Eden.
The work the curse requires us to do for we to live both spiritually and physically, God sent Christ to do it for us, Christ became the Lord of the restored Sabbath (rest, holiness and fellowship), and whoever believes in Him would ushered into the life of rest, holiness and fellowship no longer as a one week event but as the constant experience in his or her life. We no longer need the seventh day to enjoy Sabbath (rest, holiness and fellowship with God), Sabbath is now every day experience for the Christian who cast his faith on Christ who has invited all those who are labouring and heavy laden (Mt 11:28).
The seventh day Sabbath is a shadow of the every day Sabbath Christ brought to man through His death and resurrection. Glory
‘Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are only a shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ’. Col. 2:16-17
The real substance every seventh day Sabbath is the Sabbath in Christ which isn’t a one in a seven day even but an every day day. If you’ve giving your life to Christ, you’ve been ushered to the Sabbath i.e. a constant life of rest, Holiness and fellowship with God. If you’ve not giving your life to Christ, Sabbath is faraway from you. Henceforth there is no day that you desire to gather in fellowship as a group that’s no Holy unto the Lord because of the works of Christ on the cross. Sabbath in the old testament is Saturday but Sabbath after Christ’s resurrection is everyday because is nolonger about the day but about Christ who sanctifies all days (Ro 14:6). Amen.
God bless you

JESUS CLEANSES FROM SIN

JESUS CLEANSES FROM SIN Masturbation is a very addictive habit and can bind its victim for years even till such person dies. Some major causes are rape, early sexual exposure, sex dreams etc. and it’s triggered by pornographic material, indecent dressings and vulgar songs and words. Hildah from Saudi Arabia told me how she had tried various measures to curb it but to no avail and Musa from Zimbabwe said there is no day he wouldn’t masturbate because he can’t seem to control himself. Sinful habits is fueled by the devil that puts our body in the bondage of sin, when some things are natural, it wouldn’t be a problem. For example, the hunger for apple can be deferred over and over again because such hunger isn’t fueled by the devil so it can be controlled, but the hunger for certain sinful habit are so addictive that its victim can’t put it under control because its fuelled by the devil. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us ...

THE MOMENTS YOUR REALIZE What would you do if you realize that all the powers of darkness working against you have been defeated and the curses working contrary to God?s purposes in your life have been taken away? What would you do if you realize that that which causes you sicknesses and disease is no more? What would you do if you know that the powers of the wicked working against your life are no more? What would you do if you realize that the power causing you to sin has been defeated? For me, I?ll set goals and achieve if, big goals because there nothing out there powerful enough to stop me. For me, I?ll get up from my sick bed and walk in health, never accepting diseases and sicknesses no more. For me, I?ll reject the life of hardship and want and frustrations and walk in prosperity. For me, I?ll reject the life of sin and unrighteousness and walk in Holiness. Truly Christ has taken away the bottleneck, yes; He has taken away the power of darkness that?s work against your...

When we preach with the right attitudes, we shall achieve maximum results. Preach God’s word with the right attitude results in the miracles: transformation of lives, healing of the sick, deliverance of the oppressed etc. PREACH WITH CONVICTIONs: conviction is displayed in your sermons when you are convinced yourself about such bible doctrine or truth. Your sermons won’t convince anyone if it hasn’t convinced you. In choosing what to preach, make sermons that had convicted and stirred your faith be your choice.
