TOPIC: You Are Dead (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Friday, 11 May 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Romans 6:1-15

MEMORY VERSE:

“For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” – Colossians 3:3

The MESSAGE:

When people hear the word “death”, they get startled because it is a very scary topic. But the type of death we are going to discuss today is good; it is not physical death. Our Lord Jesus said that before a seed could yield fruit it would have to enter into the ground and die first.

Many Christians are struggling with sin because they don’t realise that they are already dead to sin. The Bible says in Romans 6:2, “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead in sin, live any longer therein?” Once we realise this fact, a light bulb effect is triggered immediately in our consciousness and the nature of the old man is gone completely. So when the devil comes next time to tempt you with besetting sin, you usually fall for, be it addictions, drugs, casual sins etc, remind him that you are dead and that he attended your funeral service the day you were baptised (Romans 6:3). Therefore, you cannot respond to your old nature but instead arise to the newness of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:4).

When you resist the devil, he will flee from you (James 4:7). When the devil keeps on coming at you, trying to seduce you to commit one sin or the other, resist him and he will flee from you. The fact remains that you are not just dead but you are also buried through baptism. Therefore yield yourselves unto God as those who are alive from the dead and your members as instrument of righteousness unto God and it shall be well with your soul.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A DEAD MAN CANNOT BREATHE, HE CANNOT WALK AND CANNOT TALK. WHEN WE DIE TO SIN THE SAME THING HAPPENS; WE CAN NO LONGER LIVE A LIFE OF SIN.

PROPHETIC WORD:
Today, sin shall no longer have dominion over you. Every contrary spirit struggling to cage your soul is judged.

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING
1. I confess that I am dead and my life is hid in Christ and Christ Jesus in God, in the name of Jesus.
2. Every unyielding area of my life, become dead and buried in Christ Jesus, in the name of Jesus.
3. As from today, sin shall not reign in my mortal body because I am dead and buried in Christ Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

EVENING
4. Holy Spirit of God, empower me to bear fruits of righteousness unto God, in the name of Jesus.
5. I resist the devil in every area of my life, in the name of Jesus.
6. Let the liberty of the Spirit in Christ Jesus overshadow my life, in the name of Jesus.
