YOU'VE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH -PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME"

 YOU’VE CRUCIFIED THE FLESH - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts (GALATIANS 5:24).


There’re Christians who are enslaved by certain habits, which they keep praying to God to help them overcome. Unfortunately, for most of them, the more they pray, the more they find themselves controlled and dominated by those habits. 


This has left them confused, and thinking their situation is beyond remedy. Some have even backslidden, because they thought they couldn’t be free.

But in studying the Scriptures, we find that it says in Romans 6:14, “For Sin shall not have dominion over you....” Our opening verse is also unequivocal: “…they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts”; meaning that if you’re in Christ, you can’t be bound by any habit. So, what then is the problem of those who seem to be in bondage to certain habits? It’s simply their lack of knowledge.

God never asked us to fight the flesh or struggle with sin and habits; we’ve crucified the flesh; we’ve overcome the world; we have dominion over Satan and sin. So, when some Christians or even preachers counsel others to “crucify the flesh,” it’s a contradiction.


It’s fruitless to try to be who you already are or get what you already have. If God says you’ve crucified the flesh, then that’s it! Your role is to respond and say, “I don’t get, and can never be, dominated by sin or the flesh, because I am Christ’s. Therefore, I’ve crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.”


Galatians 5:25 says, “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.” Since we were born into the spirit and we live in the spirit, we’re to walk in the spirit. So, simply, if you’ve not been walking in the spirit, start walking in the spirit; that is, in the light of God’s Word. Declare, “From this day, my flesh won’t control me; my mind won’t dictate to me; I refuse to be sense-ruled, for the Word of God has become my compass, and I live the Word.”


Galatians 5:16 says, “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” How do you walk in the Spirit? It’s by walking in the light of God’s Word. It’s by walking in the truth in Christ; in the light of your righteousness and glory in Him. Hallelujah!


There’s a definite act required for salvation; it’s the confession of the lordship of Jesus. You can do so right away by praying the prayer below with faith in your heart:


“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ,Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth  that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day.Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again.Thank you Lord, for saving my soul!


I’m now a child of God. I now have Christ dwelling in me and greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4)! I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!"


"CONGRATULATIONS", you are now born into the Kingdom of God.


If you said the Prayer of Salvation, Type "I RECEIVE"


CONFESSION FOR YOU

Sin has no dominion over me. I live in the spirit, having crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts. I’ve overcome the world; I’m superior to Satan; I’m washed, sanctified, and justified, in the Name of the Lord Jesus! Hallelujah!

"Seated With Christ:PASTOR CHRIS"

*Seated With Christ*  *And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus*  Ephesians 2:6 To be raised up together with Christ means you’ve been promoted with Christ to the position of power.  The Bible tells us that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God. This is a position of absolute power and authority. So, Jesus occupies the position of power and authority where He reigns and rules over all things. And guess what? He isn’t sitting there alone, for the Bible says we’re seated with Him. In other words, you occupy the same position of power and authority with Jesus, to reign and rule in life. No wonder Romans 5:17 says, “…those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” Hallelujah! *📖 Scripture Reading* Ephesians 2:5-6 *🗣 Say This* I’ve been raised up together with Christ to the seat of power and authority where I reign and rule over situations, circumstan...

"THE WORD SANCTIFIES"

*Topic: The Word Sanctifies* _John 17:17 (KJV)Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth._ Fabian: Pastor, I don’t think I can ever be holy like you. I have been bad all my life. I have never loved anyone. My heart is full of immorality and I can’t help it. I am selfish, that’s how I’ve been for as long as I can remember. I don’t know how to make myself become holy. Pastor: you are not the one who will sanctify yourself, God is the one who will sanctify you and make you holy. He sanctifies you through His truth. The reason why you were unholy is that there are many things you believe that are not true; they are not God’s truth. As soon as you begin to believe and walk in God’s truth, it will sanctify you and make you Holy. God’s word is truth. Fabian: I do not understand, sir. Pastor: for example, one of the reasons you have not been able to conquer sin is because you believe it is impossible for you to conquer sin. Even though that was your reality as an unbeliever, now that y...

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS

  Topic: Possessing Your Possessions 2 Corinthians 8:9 (KJV), “For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."_ Ben found today's text interesting because he was from a poor home. He had read this verse so many times that he knew it by heart. Sadly though, his situation did not change; he sometimes had what looked like a “breakthrough" but things returned to the way they were. Many Christians are like Ben. They have come to put their faith in Jesus Christ and on that basis claimed the blessings on the pages of the scriptures only to be disappointed because although they claimed such promised blessings by faith (the best way they knew faith) those things were not made manifest in their lives. For this reason, many have resulted in ungodly means such as bribery, cheating, stealing, etc, just to have a "good" living and some have turned away from following God. ...
