EXHORTATION through the BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on :
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
Hosea 4:6 NKJV
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN THE NEW COVENANT IN CHRIST
I cannot insist enough on the vital importance for a Christian today to know that he is under the new covenant of the undeserved favor of God and no longer under the law. Many good, well-intentioned and sincere Christians today are defeated by their lack of knowledge of the new covenant and all the benefits that Jesus bought for them on the cross.
David who was a prophet and king had prophesied the future of the Christian: “Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Psalms 103:1-5 NKJV
Beloved, it is the heart of God. He wants you to remember all the benefits that Jesus bought for you with His blood! It is His heart to see you enjoy every advantage, every blessing in the new covenant of His grace.
The forgiveness of sins is yours. Health is yours. Divine protection is yours. The favor is yours. The good things and the renewal of youth are yours!
They are all precious gifts of the Lord for you, and it gives Him immense joy when He sees you enjoying these gifts and succeed in life. But it is the lack of knowledge of what Jesus accomplished on the cross that has deprived many Christians from enjoying these good gifts and benefits.
What you need today is not more laws,or more of your personal efforts. What you need is a greater revelation and appreciation of Jesus and all that HE has done for you! In Hosea 4:6, God laments: "My people are destroyed by lack of knowledge.... ”
Do not be counted among these Christians who live in darkness. Instead, grow in the knowledge of Jesus, His person, His love and His finished work. And this is called growing in your identity!
Stop allowing Satan to keep you busy with distractions!
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
