DEUTERONOMY 28:8
“The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
Do you remember the story of King Midas and his golden touch? He made a wish that everything he touched would turn into gold, and his wish came to pass. He touched his food, the trees in his garden and his palace, and they all turned into gold! Then, he hugged his daughter whom he loved very much and she immediately turned into a gold statue!

God’s way is better and it has no side effects. He wants to bless everything you touch. The Bible says, “The Lord will command the blessing on you…and in all to which you set your hand…" This means that whatever you touch, whatever you set your hands to, God will command the blessing upon it, be it a person, thing or business. So if you touch your child, he is blessed. If you touch your guitar, anointed music flows forth. If you touch your business, it prospers. When you touch a sick person, he gets healed. When you touch someone who is facing lack, his needs are met.

In the Bible, everything that Jesus touched prospered. He touched the eyes of two blind men and their eyes were opened. (Matthew 9:28–30) He touched the open coffin of a widow’s son, and the young man sat up and began to speak. (Luke 7:12–15) He touched the leper and the leprosy departed. (Mark 1:40–42) Under the old covenant laws, no one was supposed to touch a leper as lepers were considered unclean. If you touched the unclean, you became unclean. But Jesus touched the leper and the unclean became clean!

Everyone whom Jesus touched received a blessing. And because Jesus lives in you by His Spirit, what you touch will be blessed too. He paid the price for you to have this blessing. His loving hands which imparted blessings to so many were nailed to the cross so that today, God can command His blessing on all to which you set your hands!

IT is God will for you to have self-control and to live upright,
2 Timothy 1:7  For the Spirit that God has given us does not make us timid; instead, his Spirit fills us with power, love, and self-control. 
God has given us the Spirit of self control because he wants us to live right and operate in Excellence.
what is self-control ?    self control is the fruit of the Spirit, is the gift to all believers not to be earned but  freely given, is the given gift to all who are Born again, if you are Born Again YOU HAVE IT, what you need is to EXERCISE IT.
IS the power given to believers by God through his Spirit to  rule and control themselves over emotions,affections and anger with all negative force surrounding them.
A man without self control is subjected to devil's attacks. He lies exposed to all the temptations of Satan and becomes an easy prey to that enemy; he is also liable to many troubles and vexations; it is likewise as much a reproach to him as it is to a city to have its walls ruined.
Proverb 25:28  A man without self-control is like a city broken into and left without walls. 
All that is good goes out, and forsakes him; all that is evil breaks in upon him.
We are Excellence and God wants us to operate in Excellence Spirit, Can you Say NO to negative image, words or anything contrary to God's Words which Can spoil your christian Life ? if you  are self controlled you Can Say.
Grace will teach you how to live in self control, is the best teacher.
Tit 2:11-12  For God has revealed his grace for the salvation of all people. 
  That grace instructs us to give up ungodly living and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this world, 
Grace will discipline you to be self controlled Have faith in Gods Grace, and meditate on the scriptures  set up your mind to attend on Gods Words, confess on the scripture about self control every day.
AIM TO BE EXCELLENT BECAUSE YOU WAS CREATED EXCELLENCE

YOU NEED SELF-CONTROL BY YOSIAH NEHEMIA

HEBREWS 8:12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
Perhaps you have heard people say of others: “Oh, if only you had seen my husband in the early years of our marriage. He had such an explosive temper that I used to seek shelter in my mother’s house!”

“No one would have ever guessed that she had such a promiscuous past.”

“As a young boy, he would always lie through his teeth and not even bat an eyelid!”

Man looks at you and remembers what you were like in the past. But when God looks at you through the new covenant, He declares, “I will be merciful to your unrighteousness, and your sins and lawless deeds I will remember no more.”

He states it plainly in His Word as if to assure us: “When you come to Me, don’t think that I am thinking about your sins. Don’t think that every time I look at you, I am reminded of your sins. Not only am I not keeping a record, but I am also not mindful of your failures and shortcomings. I am telling you that I will remember your sins no more, never again!”

God can say that all our sins He remembers no more because there was a time when He remembered them and punished every one of them—in the body of His Son at the cross. He punished every single one of them until Jesus cried out, “It is finished!” (John 19:30) That is why today, God can justly say, “Your sins I will remember no more.”

We all know that we sin from time to time. But the good news is that all our sins have already been dealt with at the cross. They have been washed away by Jesus’ blood. Now, when we come into God’s presence, He sees us without our sins. So beloved, forget your past failures. Believe that God remembers your sins no more and be the righteous man that you already are in Christ!

GOD DOESN’T REMEMBER HOW BAD YOU WERE by Joseph Prince


Summary
We couldn't fulfill the righteousness of the Law without Jesus paying the price for our sins. Because of Jesus living in us, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit guiding and directing our lives, we are able to fulfill the righteousness of the Law. Multiplied grace and peace are released into our lives as we behold the image of Jesus found in the Word of God.
_______________________________________
There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Through Him, the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled in us (Romans 8:1-6).
In Christ, when you miss the mark it should not bring you under condemnation.
Guilt is an emotional response to condemnation.
The only way you can escape the effects of sin is through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you keep the power of the Holy Spirit running in your life, you will continue to stay above the law of sin and death.
The temptation to sin will always be there, but you can override those temptations by walking in the Spirit.
People who constantly stay in the Word of God are going to stay on top of fear, lack, sickness, negative emotions, etc.
You stay on top of the issues in your life by staying in the Word of God.
The Law was not weak, but our weak and sinful flesh made the Law impossible to keep; it could not produce anything good because our flesh couldn’t keep it.
Jesus came on the scene and exchanged our unrighteousness for His righteousness through His sacrifice on the cross. All we must do is believe on Him to receive His righteousness.
We are made righteous by faith, not self-effort and good works.
Carnality is man’s effort to be successful without the Holy Spirit.
What Jesus did for us enabled us to fulfill the righteousness of the Law perfectly in two ways:
By being born again
By making a decision to live through the power of the Holy Spirit
Multiplied grace and peace are released in your life (2 Peter 1:2).
We are transformed into the image of Christ as we behold Him (2 Corinthians 3:17, 18).
We are to manifest what we already possess through Jesus Christ in us.
The “glass” we are beholding is the Word of God. As we behold the Word of God, we behold Jesus, and are changed into His image.

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life.
believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live."
JOHN 11:25


I am so grateful for Jesus, His grace, His finished work on the cross, and His death, burial and resurrection. And I'm so grateful for you.

What a blessing it is to celebrate the resurrection of Christ Jesus with you today!

Truly this is the season to rejoice. Our sins are forgiven, our righteousness sure and our eternity secure. And it's all because of the finished work of Jesus!

The death, burial and resurrection of our Savior overcame the grave and are the receipt of our eternity with our Father in heaven. No longer are we distant from God, striving to measure up by our own efforts at righteousness. Today, we are living in the beauty of the new covenant—we are recipients of grace.

You are accepted, approved of and dearly loved by the Father, because Jesus is your righteousness. Sin has no more power in your life. All your sins—past, present and future—have been completely and perfectly paid for.

Whatever you need today, look to Jesus. Don't rely on your own efforts or trust in your own strength. Rest in the finished work of Jesus and receive His provision. He is your wisdom. He is your comfort. He is your strength. He is your healing.

Beloved, I'm so thankful for you. I pray that you experience the power of the risen Savior today and every day.

Celebrating Jesus,

people should not look at themselves as the basis for faith but at God because faith cannot be manufactured. Faith, he
explained, grows naturally and spontaneously the more one knows God.

“Never ask yourself if you have faith. The more you ask yourself these questions, the less your faith. We are not talking of faith in faith or faith in yourself; we are talking of faith in God. You cannot manufacture faith. If faith would be in pastors or saints, faith would be weak and fragile,” he said, adding, “Faith is holding on to what God has promised. Whether your faith is great or small is not the issue. The issue is, if God has promised, will He lie or change? Your coming here shows you know God. And when you know God, faith will spontaneously grow. You are committing yourself and your things to Someone smarter, cleverer and more powerful – that is why you are here.”

Aided by the scriptures in John 14:25-27 and Romans 10:17, he said, “Faith comes out by hearing the Word of Christ. If my Father promised me something, I believe He will give me that thing. My belief is solid because I believe on the promise of my Father. If God’s Word is Spirit, it is capable of developing a spiritual force within our heart called faith. Ask God to give you the grace not to be ignorant of your faith under the tension and pressure of your sickness, disease, temptation, limitation.”

God is a gracious God. He loves to lavish. He loves to give.

Jesus' finished work has opened the way for you to receive the love and blessings that you don't deserve.

At the cross, He cried "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" so that today, you and I can cry out, "My Father, my Father, why have You so blessed me?"

Whatever situation you may be facing today, the Father knows what you are going through; you are not alone.

Because of His great love for you, He has already made your path straight and provided everything you need today. Take your focus off the size of the problem and put your focus on the love of the Father, and I believe your breakthrough will come.

Beloved, I want you to know that I am so grateful for you and my team and I pray for you often.

Thank you for standing with us each month. Your faithful prayers and your generous support make it possible for us to share the gospel of grace all over the world. I am so blessed that believers like you are dedicated to helping us unveil Jesus for the world to see.

If you've been blessed by this message, we'd love for you to forward this email. You may know someone—a family member or a friend—who needs to know Jesus; this could be a great way to share Christ or the gospel of grace with them.

Remember, never doubt that your heavenly Father loves you. It doesn't matter what you've done or haven't done. He loves you no matter what.

His love is an unconditional gift. I hope you'll receive this gift today.

Rom 5:20
20 But then Law came in, [only] to expand and increase the trespass [making it more apparent and exciting opposition]. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God's unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and super abounded, Amp

Grace is unmerited favor of God (underserved favor), Grace is the empowering Presence of God enabling you to be who He created you to be and to do what He has called you to do God's grace gives us the desire and the power to do his will,
If you struggle to get out of sin Remember is only by receiving his Grace through faith and not by your effort, this means that Jesus did it all in the cross, he finish everything in the cross, salvation, healing, deliverance, righteousness and forgiven all of these are finished work, you cannot work for but receiving, May be you have tried to stop some negative behavior and habits or you are addicted to cigarette, pornography and other negative habits and you don’t know how to come out, Just know that God love you as you are while you are still in sin, He is for you and not against you, yes he is against sin but not against you, he is in your side to help you come out of it by his Grace Only, he is God who justify the ungodly Rom 4:5
5 But to one who, not working [by the Law], trusts (believes fully) in Him Who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited to him as righteousness (the standing acceptable to God).
So is God who justify(declares sinner to be righteous) by faith and not work of the law.

When you sin the Grace of God increases upon you so that when you receive it will bring you out of sin and give you power to sin no more, don’t reject the grace of God but receive it by faith, and right now as you lead this teaching GRACE is upon you just receive it in Jesus name by faith on what Jesus has done stop focusing on your wrong doing rather focus on what he did in the cross for you and receive.
Remember when you are under GRACE sin will never have dominion over you forever “Rom 6:14 Sin must not be your master; for you do not live under law but under God's grace”. GNB

GRACE IS FAR GREATER THAN YOUR SIN by Yosiah nehemia

ROMANS 8:37
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
If God’s Word says that we are more than conquerors through Christ, then we are. We are not going to become, we already are. We may be experiencing some failures or setbacks in life right now, but only good will come out of our situations because God says that “in all these things we are more than conquerors”. We have the victory!

You see, God has placed us in Christ, whom He has exalted to the highest place in the universe. We are not trying to get to victory ground. We are already on victory ground. We don’t confess God’s Word to get victory. We confess His Word because we already have the victory. We don’t fight for victory. We fight from victory.

The devil will try to steal our victory. He will come against us with lies and fears, and cause us to be conscious of our failures, weaknesses and symptoms in areas such as our health. But we are not trying to be healed. We are already healed because God’s Word declares that “by His stripes we are healed”. (Isaiah 53:5)

A sister in our church was seeing two psychiatrists. She had been under psychiatric care and medication for panic attacks for the most part of her life. She said that when she started coming to church and learning about Jesus, the truth of God’s Word began to dawn on her.

She started believing that victory over her condition was already hers and began confessing it. From then on, all her fears were removed and her panic attacks ceased. Today, she has a sound mind, is free from all medication and knows that her life is greatly blessed through Jesus who loves her.

My friend, the moment you accept Jesus as your Savior, you are born again and the new person inside you is more than a conqueror. You are already on victory ground and you have victory over every challenging situation in your life!

YOU HAVE THE VICTORY! Pastor Joseph Prince

ROMANS 5:17
For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of
righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ…
When God created man, He did not intend for man to grow old, become weak and powerless, suffer diseases and die—first the physical death, then the second or eternal death.

God never meant for man to go through all these and for death to reign. But because of one man’s offense—that man being Adam—death reigns.

The ultimate death is the second or eternal death in the lake of fire. Before this death is physical death. Before physical death, you have diseases and illnesses. Not all diseases and illnesses lead to death, but they are manifestations of death. One step before diseases and illnesses is tiredness, weakness and powerlessness, which are signs and symptoms of death. Now, all these are forms of death. As you can see, death reigns!

Are you resigned to the fact that death can strike whoever, whenever and wherever it wishes? Are you allowing death to reign in your life and in the lives of your loved ones? Or are you allowing God’s Word to tell you the truth about death?

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more…” Thank God for the “much more”! What Jesus, the last Adam, did is much more and far greater than what the first Adam did. We are those who have received the “abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness”. Therefore, our “much more” is that we will reign in life through Jesus Christ!

God considers death an enemy. He came to destroy death and give us eternal life. And the more we walk in the grace of God and His righteousness, the more we will reign in life. The more we believe in His grace or undeserved favor, and the more we know that we have been made righteous by His blood and not our good behavior, the more we will reign over all forms of death!

LIVE THE ‘MUCH MORE’ LIFE by Pastor Joseph Prince

Despite the fact that there may be millions of people praying to God each day, he delights in hearing your voice, for he has no
duplicate of you. This is the reason you should always put yourself into prayers. Get personal with the Lord, knowing that you are talking to someone who is actually listening to you; a rational being, who feels. Don’t pray as though God is a computer.
Some folks are too stiff and religious in their prayers! “O Lord”, they begin, “Thou art so great and I am so small and insignificant in thy sight”; as though God only spoke “King James” English. Then when they lift their hands to sing a song of worship there is hardly any expression of emotions. Don’t be that way! Be passionate with the Lord.
God called David a man after his own heart (Acts 13:22), because among other things, David was so passionate with the Lord. When he prayed, he poured his soul into his prayers and this reflected in the several inspired Psalms he penned for us in the scriptures. David was a man who knew how to pray with emotions, this is why he enjoyed such a fellowship with God.
You have got to learn how to unwind yourself in the presence of the Lord. If you are yet to experience the kind of praying where, out of love, awe and reverence, you break down in profuse tears before the Lord, then you are missing too much. If you have’nt prayed till you were full of the spirit, laughing, dancing, prophesying and singing in the spirit, you have got to make up your mind to experience it.
Pray with your heart and your emotions and involve the totality of your being. There is an awesome blessing that comes from having such intimacy with the Lord.
SCRIPTURES: Psalm 42:1, James 5:16 and Psalm 63:1-4). Glory to God!

He delights in hearing your voice By Pastor Chris Oyackhilome

HEBREWS 10:12, 14, KJV
But this man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God... For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
God sees you with no flaw, spot or imperfection, so honor His Word and the finished work of His Son by saying, “Amen!” Don’t doubt your perfection in Christ.

To see yourself as being far from perfect is not modesty, but a failure to understand the perfect sacrifice that Jesus has made for you.

The Bible tells us, “For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Did you get that? You have not only been sanctified, that is, made holy, but by the same offering of His body, you have been perfected. You are both holy and perfect in God’s eyes!

Your sins have been purged perfectly. Today, Jesus is seated at His Father’s right hand not because He is the Son of God (although that is true), but because His work of purging your sins is completely finished and perfect!

So instead of being conscious of your sins, which is to have an evil conscience (Hebrews 10:22), you can have a perfect conscience, a conscience that is free from the guilt and condemnation of sins.

When you find yourself conscious of your sins, just say, “Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your wonderful work at the cross. It is a perfect work that has removed all my sins completely.

“Holy Spirit, thank You for convicting me of righteousness, not my own, but God’s righteousness given to me as a gift. Keep on convicting me in the days to come, reminding me especially when I fail that I am still the righteousness of God in Christ.”

My friend, God sees you perfect without any spot of sin. He sees you covered in the beautiful white robes of His own righteousness. He treats you as a righteous man because that is what He has made you. So expect good things to happen to you because blessings are on the head of the righteous! (Proverbs 10:6)

YOU ARE PERFECT IN GOD’S EYES by Pastor Joseph prince

Monday, January 20, 2014

HEBREWS 9:14
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
Have you heard the voice of your conscience saying things like, “You deserve hell for the sins you committed against your wife three years ago” or “Why are you surprised that your child is not talking to you? You were never around when he needed you”?

You know, there are people who feel depressed all the time because of a sense of guilt, and they “pay” for their sins in terms of illnesses. In fact, doctors are discovering that many psychosomatic sicknesses are caused by guilt and condemnation because the conscience is saying, “You have done wrong. You must be punished. How can your sin not be punished?”

That is why you must have an answer that will satisfy your conscience. When your conscience says, “You have sinned. You must be punished for this sin or else God is not a just God,” you say, “Yes, I have sinned. But this sin and every other sin that I have committed were punished to the maximum in the body of Jesus Christ! So there remains no more punishment for me today, for how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse my conscience!”

My friend, the only way to bring peace to your conscience is to look to the cross. The cross of Jesus is the only answer that will satisfy your conscience.

So the next time your conscience condemns you because of sin, don’t try to silence it with your good works. Look to the cross and say, “Father, thank You for Jesus and the cross. Jesus was totally condemned on my behalf for this sin, so there is now absolutely no condemnation left for me.” Then, your conscience will look at the cross and say, “Ahhhh...peace.” My friend, Jesus’ finished work at the cross truly sets you free!
