THE MARK OF CHRIST PART 1

Ephesians 1:13 (In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise), 

The mark of Christ is the identification mark of every believer; it sets us apart from the others; it makes us a unique entity and one family of God. This mark does not just come upon you as a person; it is for those who are set apart by God as His own (Ezekiel 9:6). It is a seal of protection; it is a seal of covenant of promise between man and God. It is called the seal of the Holy Ghost that God promised to send to us after the resurrection of Christ (John 14:16-19). There is a process involved to get this mark; our anchor scripture above explain it this way; First, there is hearing of the word of God which is the gospel of salvation; then the repentance; there is a need to trust God base on the truth that you have heard about His saving grace through Jesus Christ; then you received and believed the word and that brings about the seal of that Holy Spirit of promised; it is meant to empower those who received and believed in Christ to become like Christ. John 1:12 (But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name): It is called, do not touch mark; it is a danger sign against the kingdom of darkness. Psalm 105:14 (He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; 15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm). Christ means the anointed one; So, as soon as this seal comes up on us we also become the anointed one. Once you have this mark upon your life as an individual it makes it difficult for Satan and his agent to access you. But the irony of it, is that many believers are walking around thinking their mark is still visible but little do they know that Satan has either replaced it with his own or covered it. It is a covenant of promise and so long as you are walking in the covenant and continue in it, the mark will remain intact in your body but as soon as you walk out of the covenant you have removed yourself from the seal of covering. What the mark signifies is that the spirit of God is upon you and that Christ is living inside of you. Joel 2:28 (And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions): God promised to pour His spirit upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem and redemption has made you a spiritual Jew (Galatian 3:13-14; 29). This mark of Christ is put upon those who have given and surrender their life to Christ and those who have been dedicated to God from birth. That's why it is very important for parents to dedicate their children to God at birth so that they can be set apart for God. Apostle Paul knows the importance of this mark and that is why he announced to his troublers that he now has the mark of Christ and they should be aware. Galatians 6:17 (From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus). This mark is our identity; it is the name of Jesus that is given to us at redemption; so, If your name is Joshua John; you will now be called in the realm of the spirit Joshua John, Jesus, the anointed one. God knows who is His own because of this seal, so don't deceive yourself, if you don't have it, go for it now. 2 Timothy 2:19 (Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity). The only thing that can erase this mark is sin and that is why you are warned to stay away from iniquity. He said be ye holy for I am holy. Friends, now that you understand what this mark represents and how it works; do you want to get this mark? I have written and delivered the word that I am given this morning by the Holy Spirit. And you have read and understand it; now it is left for you to decide if you want this seal or not. It is a decision that you need to make by yourself; but I pray that you will choose to accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour today and receive his mark upon your life, in Jesus name. This salvation prayer below will help you to enter into that realm; please do it and be blessed, in Jesus name.

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and 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
