FREEDOM FROM CONDEMNATION: PART 1 (THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY

FREEDOM FROM CONDEMNATION: PART 1 (THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN ADULTERY) JOHN 8:3-12 John 8:3(And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst; 10. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11. She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more). Condemnation can come in different forms. The woman in our text today was caught in adultery. She was found guilty according to her accusers and she was condemned to die by stoning, which means she was already a dead woman. Her story took a new turn as soon as she was brought to Jesus. I don’t know what accusation they have laid against you, but today your situation is turning around in Jesus name. Jesus did not ask her accusers the where about of the man he was caught with; they said she was condemned according to their law. Jesus stooped down and wrote something on the ground. I believe he was writing the original law, not the one they have turned upside down to favour only one side. And also to re-write the destiny of that woman to the original image God created her to be before Satan put her in that bondage of adultery. In life, we need to look beyond the physical, so that we will not end up being condemned in trying to condemn others. Satan withheld her real identity but Jesus restored it and those her accusers saw it and disappeared. Jesus is still in the business of restoration and you are next in line. Your own case or situation may not be adultery; you don’t need to be in that bondage anymore. Jesus came to save us not to condemn. One thing Satan knows how to do best is to push his victims hard enough until they meet with their savior or he consumes them. He has been tormenting that helpless woman, when he thought he had finally nailed her, she met with her savior. Jesus told her to go and sin no more. What a joy, Jesus is alive and he is still setting people free. Come to him and you shall be set free in Jesus name. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, I am free! Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com

GET OUT OF THE NATURAL REALM: JOHN 3:6-8

John 3:6(That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound there of, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit). There is nothing extra ordinary in the natural realm. If you really want to produce supernatural result you need to get out of the natural realm. In life, you need extra ordinary result to become relevant. The bible describes those who are born of the Spirit as spirit and wind. These set of people are hard to understand except you are in the same realm with them. In this case, I am talking about the realm where God operates and if you are not born of God you cannot operate there. “That which is born of the Spirit is spirit”. There is negative supernatural, where Satan and his people reign. Believe me, there is nothing there, it all leads to destruction at the end. That’s why you need to align yourself with God. Life is a battle field; this battle is between light and darkness. If you don’t know where you belong it can be frustrating and lead to disaster. The people in the negative supernatural will feast on you, but that will not be your portion in Jesus name. There is no in between, it is either you are there or here. You need to choose side because it is dangerous to be in between. Revelation 3:15-16(I know thy works, that thou are neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. 16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth). There is clear distinction between the two realms. August 19th, 2020 God opened my eyes to see the two realms; this revelation will ever remain fresh in my mind till I return home to the Father. In the journey of life, you will come across this two types of people in the street, the highly divinize and the highly demonize”. God himself said that he will spit you out of his mouth if you are neither hot nor cold. The highly demonize will end up in hell, they already know that, while the highly divinize people are the children of the most high God with great achievement in their area of calling. Here is the good news; the dominion of light over darkness is unquestionable and incomparable. John 1:5(And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not). Friends, you need an extra ordinary result and you also need to make heaven. “That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit” so, get out of the flesh today and start your journey with God in the realm of the supernatural. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, I am free! Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com

OVERCOMING MOUNTAIN: PART 3 (THE ENEMIES OF OUR DESTINY AND THE PLACE OF EMPOWERMENT)

Zechariah 4:6(Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, this is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it). In the journey of life, you may find yourself stuck in one place not making progress. It can be very stressful, because no matter how hard you try as a human, you will find yourself in the same spot. It does not have to be so. That’s where grace is needed. Except God comes to your rescue and gets you out of the jam, you will remain there until time passes you by. He knows the way, he designed your destiny, he gave you that purpose and he alone can get you to your destination. Psalm 127:1(Except the LORD builds the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain). I pray for you today, that you will not labour in vain in Jesus name. The journey of destiny is not something we can do by relying on own strength. We need to be empowered in order to be able to contend with the forces that may not want us to fulfill our destiny. In our text today, Zerubbabel was meant to build the house of God as Governor of Judah, but he was faced with strong opposition. These enemies are his mountain, but because of his relationship with God, he was empowered to deal with it. “Who art thou, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain” we need this kind of assurance from God as we continue with our journey here on earth. That’s why we need to build a personal relationship with God. Zech 4:8(Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9. The hand of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands also shall finish it; and thou shalt know that LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you). I don’t know where you are right now in your journey or how much opposition you are facing. The good news is that you can move forward. I pray for you today, that you will complete your journey in Jesus name. It is you that will decide whether you need God’s help or not. Take a step today and start building a relationship with him by saying this prayer of salvation. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com

OVERCOMING MOUNTAIN: PART 2 (MOUNTAIN OF DISOBEDIENCE AND THE NEED FOR DIVINE PRESENCE)

Deuteronomy 2:1-3(Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea, as the LORD spake unto me: and we compassed mount Seir many days 2 And the LORD spake unto me, saying, 3, Ye have compassed this mountain long enough turn you northward). Deuteronomy 28:1(And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and do all his commandments which I commanded thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth). Friends, where you are now is not your final destination, you need to move forward. The journey that would have taken the Israelite few days lasted for 40years because of disobedience, but that will not be our portion in Jesus name. They encountered so many obstacles on their way to their Canaan land, the land flowing with milk and honey. One of the obstacles was the mountain of disobedience. Disobedience was the mountain they faced at that particular point, even though God was leading them. If there is no honey where you are going, the enemy will not try to stop you. Don’t let them use you against yourself. They don’t know which way to go, they kept going round in circle until God came to their rescue, he gave them specific direction (turn northward). You need to confront that mountain, tell him enough is enough that you are going to focus on God for direction from henceforth. Deut 1:42(And the LORD said unto me, say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies). They disobeyed his commandment and they were smitten but they returned and wept. God later forgave them and asked them to take their journey northward. I don’t know where you are right now, you may need to return and he will take you back and guide you. You will possess your possession in Jesus name. The decision to return to him is your responsibility. God does not lead strangers; you need to be his child. Salvation is the first step, so make the decision today and you shall begin to enjoy his leading. John 1:12 Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com

OVERCOMING MOUNTAIN: PART 1

Deuteronomy 2:3(ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward). In the journey of life, there are many mountains on the way. These mountains are the challenges you face on your destiny path, they are issues that refuse to give way for you to move forward. How you deal with your mountain depends on the level of your understanding, empowerment and your relationship with God. The faster you deal with them the faster you get to your destination. Some people are stuck in one place, starring at their mountains not knowing what to do while some go round their mountain in circle. Some did not bother to look at the mountains because to them it does not exist, but it takes empowerment to operate at this level. Joel 2: 5(Like the noise of chariots on the mountain shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 7 they shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march everyone on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks). Understand that God alone is the mountain destroyer. That’s why we need to align with him to guide us. The enemy wants you to be stuck, so that he can catch up with you and destroy you but that will not be your portion in Jesus name. You need to move quickly, seek God’s guidance. Don’t give your enemy the luxury of seeing you fails; embrace God who knows the way. John 14:6 (Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me). If God is the one leading you, he will give you strategies to overcome your mountain. Each strategy varies depending on the individual and their relationship with God. In our subsequent segment, we are going to be looking at the biblical example of this mountain and the strategies to deal with them. Watch out for them and be blessed in Jesus name. God does not lead strangers, you need to embrace him. The first strategy to overcome a mountain is salvation. Roman 8:14 (For as many as are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God). Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree neneisahoc@gmail.com

THE WAY: JOHN 14:6

John 14:6(Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me). Life is a journey. We are here on assignment after which we have to go back home. Some get lost here on earth and never make it back home, which means they end up in hell, but that will not be our portion in Jesus name. That’s why Jesus Christ came to show us the way. There is always a way in every journey. In the journey of life, there is a right way to follow in order to get to our destination safely. Many were born with great destiny but they never achieve it to the fullest because they didn’t know the way or perhaps they knew but refused to follow it. There are so many ways but not all of them seem right, it may look like it but it might never get you to your destination. Mathew 7:13-14(Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it). I pray for you, that you will be among the few that will find the right way in Jesus name. Our anchor scripture today (John 14:6) stated it clearly. This means if you follow Jesus and fix your eyes on him alone you will definitely get to your destination. Mathew 10:5 (These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel). If he sends you, he will give you clear direction. No matter how fast you move in a wrong direction, you can never get to your destination. You will not miss your step in Jesus name. Fix your eyes on Jesus, just as Peter did in (Mathew 14:28-32) and walked on the water, but as soon as he shifted his eye from Jesus and look unto himself he began to sink. I pray for you today that your destiny will not sink in Jesus name. Peter was wise he quickly called unto Jesus for help and Jesus stretched out his hand to rescue him. That’s why we are still talking about Peter today because he made it. Many of us need to be rescued. Before now, I was in the world not knowing the way but his mercy found me, even when I miss it over and again he stretched forth his hand and recued me. Friends, I don’t know what your own situation might be, but you need him to show you the right way. You can start now by inviting him into your life. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree www.womanuarefree.blogspot.com neneisahoc@gmail.com

CLOSING THE BARRIER

Hebrews 10:22 (Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water). Sometimes we think that God is far from us, but that’s not true. He is actually closer to us that we can ever imagine. He lives in our heart. Everything is absolutely dependent on us. Rev 3:20 says (Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come and sup with him, and he with me). At times we consciously or unconsciously close the door of our heart to God. When this happens, we feel empty and think that God is very far. It is our responsibility to want Him or invite Him into our lives by studying the word of God, reading anointed books and fellowshipping with Him, etc. The more of God’s word we have in us and the more we put it into practice, the closer we get to Him. 2corinthians 3:18 says (But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord). So we are ordained to be his perfect picture, but it takes a conscious effort to get there. You can’t behave like someone that you are not close to or have not studied. You cannot benefit from the knowledge of an author you have not read his or her book neither can you grow more than your understanding. This also applies to our relationship with God. If you really want to enjoy closeness with God, you need to open your heart. You might have opened it before and in one way or another closed it back again. Why wait, you can draw near him with a true heart today. If you have not opened your heart to God, this is the perfect time to do so. Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know, I am Born Again, Amen. #womanyouarefree neneisahoc@gmail.com
