Stand on our Liberty in Christ

 

Text: Galatians 5:1(KJV)

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

In a time like this, we must remember freedom is what we have, and that is because Christ has made us free.  Friends, Christ has fought for us and has won the victory, so we are meant to live a free life. This is our inheritance therefore stand firm in that liberty despite the world situation. 

1 Corinthians 15:57 (NLT) - But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ. The challenges that we face in our world of today are there to threaten our faith, but the question before us is when threatened, where do you stand? Beloved, we should not be unstable but be strong in our liberty.  Do you submit to those circumstances around you, or do you dwell on the Word of God and use it to strengthen your faith? Joshua.1:8a-This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein. The Word of God is our weapon to meditate on, as it is filled with truth so we should stand on it as to follow the right path.

I tell you, it is time to stand firm and capable. We should not be swinging from pillar to post in search of a solution. The greatest strength we need now is in searching to know the mind of God concerning any matter. Let our foundation of standing be based on the WORD OF TRUTH. Daniel 11:32b - But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. It is time to resist those issues of life. We must genuinely stand on the God we serve despite the pressures as to do exploit in the phase of opposition. Therefore, we need to stay courageous and loyal to God. The energy to carry on is not in the flesh but it is in-built in us by our stand with God as we are connected to Christ and Christ in God. We should love and not hate the things of God because there are several discouragements in our vicinity. I encourage us to identify what takes us back to the yoke of bondage and keep off in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS: 

1.Oh Lord, please help us to stand firm against the evil plans of the adversity in Jesus name.

2. Father, no matter the happenings of this world, may we be strong in our faith, in Jesus name.
