In the last edition it was established that you have been
delivered from evil foundation if you are in Christ Jesus. Being born again
made you a new creation with a new life, a new foundation, a new lineage and a
new root. In Christ means Jesus Christ is your spiritual root and foundation.
It means you are in Him. He is your root, foundation and pillar or holder of
your life. It means you are rooted in
Him by God via new birth. He is your spiritual ground or earth because you are
in Him. In Him you live and walk. In Him you sleep and wake. In Him you come in
and go out. In Him you are blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly
places (Eph.1:3). He is the vine and you are the branch of Him. The branch is
rooted in the vine and the vine is the source of life for the branch. The life
of the branch depends on the vine because the vine is its source and root.
It means Jesus is the
source of your life and your root spiritually. That is why the bible says:
“When Christ, who is our life,
shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory” (Col.3:4)
Beloved, Jesus Christ is your life. He is what God says He
is to you. He is your life, root and foundation. He is your promised land
flowing with milk and honey because in Him you are blessed with all spiritual
blessings and granted all things that pertain to life(destiny fulfilment) and
godliness (2 Peter 1:3). You had better begin to confess it everywhere so that
you can have it.
Confession brings
possession. You are in Him who is the life and the resurrection (John 11:25).
In Christ Jesus you have been cut off from the evil foundation by God at new
birth and God has grafted you into Christ who is your new foundation.
Consequently, you are free forever from evil foundation as long as you abide in
Christ Jesus.
You have to know that the guy who was born into evil
foundation died at salvation. He is dead! The bible says: “Ye are dead, and
your life is hid with Christ in God” (Col.3:3). The old guy is dead forever
spiritually and the new creation replaced him in you. Evil foundation or root
belongs to the old guy while the new foundation which represents Christ Jesus
belongs to the new creation.
Hear me: the old guy who was born to idolatry foundation
died at salvation and the new creation created after the likeness of God in
true holiness and righteousness replaced him in you. The old guy who was born
into a family where people die of cancer or any other deadly disease died at
salvation and the new creation replaced him in you. The old guy who was born
into a family where people live and die in poverty or die as failures died at
salvation. The old guy who was born into a family where people die young or at
age 40 or 50 died at salvation and the new creation replaced him. The old guy
who was born into a family where people die or fail at the edge of breakthrough
or success died at salvation and the new creation replaced him. The old guy who
was born into a family where people marry late died at salvation and the new
creation replaced him.
See, God at salvation rooted you out of your evil family
foundation and transferred into His own family. That is why the bible says: “so
then you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but you are fellow citizens
with the saints and members of the household of God” (Eph.2:19).
God has called you out of that family and made you member of
His family. That is why you are called a child of God. He has called you out of
the darkness of that family into His own marvellous light (1 Peter 2:9). He has
called you out, stop claiming that you are still there!
Even God affirmed it
again in the scripture by saying: ‘You were once darkness but now you are light
in the Lord, walk as children of light’ (Eph.5:8). You have been delivered from
evil foundation if you are a new creation and this is the truth. The guy who
was born into the evil foundation is dead in you and you are a new creation
created in Christ Jesus after the likeness of God in true holiness and
righteousness. The old things have passed away with the old guy born into the
evil foundation and behold, all things are new with the new creation born into
the family of God. Stop claiming what is not yours in Christ Jesus! You are in
a kingdom operating by the law of the Spirit of life not a kingdom operating by
the law of sin and death.
It is high time you stood your ground and tell the devil you
can’t put that thing on me because it belongs to the old guy. This is a new
creation with a new life, a new root, a new foundation and a new family. This
is a new creation created in Christ Jesus after the likeness of God; you can’t
put that on me. Now is the time to resist the devil with this truth for God
says when you resist the devil he will flee (James 4:7).
Remember the only thing that can connect you again to the
evil foundation is sin, so avoid it like poison. Secret sin or evil habit is
the fuelling power of evil foundation against a child of God. You can’t be a
masturbator and enjoy total freedom from evil foundation. Just leave it and see
what God would do in your life. If you
are not born again, beloved, evil foundation has power over you because you are
in it. You need to come out of it today by accepting Jesus as your Lord and
saviour. The greatest
crime against your own soul is to deny yourself of this great opportunity of
eternal redemption today. Now is the time to surrender all to God and give Him
your best i.e. your heart. Your heart is the greatest gift you can ever give to
God not your money or your car. If you want to do this today, say this prayer
after me: Heavenly
Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ. I recognise myself today as
a sinner that needs your mercy, I now ask that you forgive me all my sins and
wash me clean in the blood of the Lamb of God. I take you at your word. I
confess that Jesus is Lord and I believe in my heart that you raised Him from
the dead. Thank you for coming into my heart, for giving me your Holy Spirit as
you have promised, and for being my Lord. Amen
