SUBJECT: FIRST, THE REIGN OF GRACE, THEN THE BELIEVER’S UNENDING TRIUMPHS
KEY BIBLE REFERENCE TEXT: ROMANS 5:21; 17; GENESIS 3:15; 3: 16-19
1. Understanding the mixed fortunes the Church is experiencing. Gen. 3:15. Winning many battles and getting defeated in some.
2. Three ways by which Satan seeks to bruise the feet of the members of the body of Christ-
Finding inroads by taking advantage of moral or physical or spiritual weaknesses among the Lord’s people. Exodus 17 14-16; Deuteronomy 25: 17-19. We must learn to provide full covering for all through recourse to the immeasurable power of the gospel of Christ.
Satan desiring to sift as wheat prominent targets among the Lord’s people. ‘’Smite the Shepherd’’, crush his faith and scatter the sheep. Example-Apostle Peter. Lu.22:31, 32. See also Zech. 13;7-9. OR else scatter their power. Daniel 12:6, 7. Nothing as damaging as having only a weak or merely residual knowledge of the immense power of the Gospel of the Grace Covenant. We must be deliberate in daily drawing upon the fire power of the Gospel.
Pushing at the strength of a believer to cause him to dishonour God. MOSES, DAVID, UZZIAH
God’s counsel in respect of this.
3. The provisions the LORD JESUS CHRIST makes for us to fully frustrate the Satan and his cohorts.
The power flowing from Jesus sufferings and death on Calvary’s tree. John 12: 31-33
The meaning of Galatians 3: 13, 14; 1Peter 3:18
The Old Testament instruction in Number 32;24 and the New Testament antitype as seen in
Eph.6:14, 15 in the first part, then coupling with verses 16-19. We must build up a vitally alive home front (ensuring fervent individual testimony through recourse to deliberate collective action) AND then, reach out in prayers to securing the holy nation. 1 Peter 2: 9
- Blessed be God to whom we must not cease give thanks ‘’which always causes us to triumph in Christ and makes manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place’’. 2 Cor. 2: 14
WHAT THIS IMPLIES IN MEASURABLE VISIBLE EXPERIENCE
1. The believer’s HEEL can no longer be bruised by Satanic powers Gen. 3:15
2. The HEEL, being a part of the Feet, is covered by a READY KNOWLEDGE of the Gospel of Grace that imparts Righteousness, Peace, and Joy. Eph. 6:15. Romans 14:17
3. Every believer is challenged to possess PEACE within him and so come to experience of Romans 16:20.
4. We may all come to this estate but it will always be at different times occasioned by PERSONAL level of obedient faith AND inspired through unceasing sustenance of fireworks at the CONGREGATIONAL LEVEL. This sets up an order.
5. All who come to this estate, firm up their enlistment for Divine Warfare.
6. No casualties in the Army of the Lord. Extending the blessings to ALL others is a mandate and its realization is proof of faithfulness. Let’s ARISE.
7. Divine Warfare both executes JUDGEMENT and ensures fruitful HARVEST.
8. We are God’s Treasure and means of executing Judgement. Therefore He fully provides for our unceasing Victory in warfare, total Safety AND Health for us and our human interests and Prosperity.
