Salvation in Christ - Sermon
We thank God for the testimony on the promotion. You know there are times in life, when the prophet has to step into his own authority to forcefully make things happen. (In the last fellowship, Prophet Alpha prayed for all those that believed for a promotion at their jobs and spoke in authority that something must happen; he rejected whatever was standing in people’s way in the name of the Lord.)
That is why the Old Testament Prophets would decree something and it happens. And we believe that the same Spirit that was upon those prophets is upon us as well. We can decree certain things and they happen; we can decree promotions and they happen; good jobs and they come. We decree under the anointing of the Holy Spirit and whatever you are believing for, you’ll have it. Whatever was holding you back from where you are meant to be, we are using the anointing now, to decree.
Luke 19:9-10 - 9 And Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he also is a son of Abraham; 10 for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Jesus came to save that which was lost. The word salvation however, is more than just salvation that means going to heaven. When you receive salvation it means that you are saved in ALL areas of your life. You are saved from torment, from bondage's, from lack, from scarcity, from sickness and disease, so that you are blessed in every area of your life. But if you look at it as simply going to heaven, then you can wait and go. There are those that have received the revelation that it is beyond going to heaven; God will save you from all your enemies. Those that plan evil in your life shall be scattered in seven directions. Actually the Bible says that He has delivered us from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Where there is light there is no fear, there is no curse. Light brings about liberty and will give you hope. When you go home to sleep, you wake up early in the morning with greater hopes for the day. That is why we thank God for Jesus. When He came into our lives, His light is shining upon us. So we can keep believing and do not simply give up. When things do not work out for me today, I keep my faith knowing that something will happen tomorrow; something even bigger. So you do not need to give up. You are a child of the Lord and the Lord has saved you.
No situation is permanent. Isaiah 45 says when you ‘go through’ the waters, or ‘walk through’ the fire; it does not say that when you ‘stay in’ the waters. This means that no situation is permanent. Those in debt, I say to you now, you are debt free. God did not bring you into this world to be customers for the taxi drivers till death. When you start to look at life that way, that no situation is permanent, then you shall be delivered because as a man thinks, so is he. We are no longer slaves. Jesus says you are my friends. We are friends of Christ. He can talk to us and guide us. Jesus said that the promises that were made to Abraham are yes and amen to us. Whatever promise that was made to Abraham, through Christ Jesus, you are a partaker of it. Abraham was a great man. God is interested in making names. As you lift His name on high, in doing that, He too shall lift you up. In Genesis 12, God said to Abraham – “I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing.” So start to see yourself with a great name too. You will change the history of your family. If no one in your entire family has ever owned a plaza, you shall be the first one and put your name on it. And it shall be talked about for many years.
You will not just die in the name of Jesus, you are great in the name of Jesus, all your promises shall come to pass in the name of Jesus. You shall see all your promises in the land of the living. So refuse to die until you do so. Be like Simeon in the Bible (Luke) who said “now Lord, I can depart in peace; I have seen your salvation.” Simeon was a very old man but we learn from him that he refused to die until he had seen Jesus. Many of you have received prophetic messages; you therefore cannot die until you see them manifested. Even those that are plotting against you, I decree in Jesus’ name that they are scattered in the seven directions. Reject death in the name of Jesus, and as you reject it, they (your enemies) shall be scattered in seven directions; they shall fall into their own traps.
There was time thieves were disturbing us at our home. They kept coming day after day. One day they really made a lot of trouble. So my wife got scared and told me we need to pray. Then she asked me to at least go and check if I cannot pray. So I said a simple prayer and said “my God who is my protector, you do not slumber, take care of these people.” As I went to sleep, I was in a trance and my Spirit left my body and went to check on the person at the gate. There he was trying to open the locks. Then my spirit pushed him, I told him go. At first he resisted but then he raised his arms in surrender. After that he left. Then my spirit returned to my body. When my wife asked me what happened the next morning, I did not tell her till three days later. There are some people that believe for this level in the Spirit asking the Lord to open their eyes that they may see; may it be granted to you in Jesus name.
He that watches over you does not slumber and whatever word that he has spoken in your life, it shall come to pass. You shall not die before your time. Many of you in the Spirit are about to drive your cars before you do in the natural. When it (the car) comes in the natural you shall have tasted it in the spirit. He has given us everything that pertains to life and spirit.
John 1:12 – when we believe in salvation, we should put our trust in Christ and His finished works. Many people do not see miracles because they do not fully believe. The words they speak are in their minds and do not come from their hearts. Faith must come from the heart not your thoughts because even the devil plays in the mind. Those that believe him in the heart, he was given the chance to be a child of God. If you believe God is your father, He cannot look at you and let you suffer. The bible says that those who call on the Lord shall be saved and look unto him shall not be put to shame. As a child of God, you cannot be ashamed, no matter what comes your way. Your faith should be in God not a favor from someone else. Your faith should not be in man. Do not be like Lazarus. He suffered with his wounds. Some use the Lazarus story to justify living in suffering. But that is not God’s will. The Bible says the truth shall set you free. When you know the truth, you shall live a life enjoying God’s blessings.
3 John 2 – John’s prayer was to prosper in ALL things. It is God’s will for us to prosper in all aspects of our lives. If you prosper in Spirit, you should prosper in your physical life as well. Prosperity starts in the mind. May the Lord help us to renew our minds (Romans 12). God will not give you what you have not seen. What then are you seeing: positive or negative thoughts? You have the power over your thoughts, the power to reject negative thoughts. May we understand salvation and enjoy it fully in all aspects of our lives. Amen.
