It is God Who qualifies me

When the rich young ruler called Jesus good Master, Jesus replied to him that none was good except God. When Adam sinned in the garden of Eden, everyone in his loins became sinners even before they were born.

"They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one". (Rom.3.12)

That's the reason the Bible tells us that all have sinned and have come short of the glory of God.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Rom.3.23)

All of these, man in this helpless state of utter disrepair, shows his need for a saviour. But man was not in a position to redeem himself. None was good enough so God came down in the form of man so that He is akin to man and then able to rescue and redeem man and in so doing qualified man.

"Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God 's holy people) in the Light". (Col.1.12 Amp.)

Here, the Apostle Paul tells us that God is the One who qualified and made us fit to share the portion that God has for us. Sin disqualified man but because Jesus came and died for man, God now qualified man.

I don't know what you thought disqualified you before now, I am glad to announce to you that God has qualified you, now you can walk in victory with your head held high. God qualified you. No more guilt and condemnation because God qualified you.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las...

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b...

"Law man" or God's man

Image
The law in one sense was a defective reflection of God. It reflected who God is; though not a perfect reflection. The law says don't steal, God does not steal. The law says do not lie, God does not lie, etc. But there was more to God that law could not show or give to us. As a result, God has given us His grace. His grace was not just a reflection of Himself but was God Himself. The law would should you what to do but could not grant you the ability to do it but grace did not just show you, He did it for us. The essence of the law was to satisfy God but grace came and did that on behalf of mankind. The reason why the Apostle says here that he quiets being a 'law man' but instead became God's man "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man". (Gal.2.18 MSG) Are you 'law man' who is still strivi...
