THEME;OUR IDENTITY
THE FRESH ELDERS OF OKIJA CAMPUS
GOD’S LOVE
Love denotes undefinable
benevolence and unconquerable goodwill that always seeks the highest of the
other no matter what he or she does. It is the self-giving love that gives
freely without asking anything in return, and does not consider the worth of
its object. It is not arrogant and infected with pride; it is not rude and does
not act unbecoming.
God’s love is indeed a sacrifice
and that brought grace- Jesus Christ. In the beginning of the world i.e.
creation era, man was in good and solemn relationship with God but as a result
of disobedience, man lost that relationship. Man started to live in total
subject to law and evil reigned all over the earth (genesis 6:5) and God was
displeased that he created man. He punished all that sinned. Many were by flood
and some others by fire. but the question is” did these punishments stop man
from sinning”? The answer is NO! Because man was bound to sin and also
controlled by the power of sin. By one man sin came into the
world(disobedience) and also by another man salvation came(obedience).god
decided to save man from the power of darkness into light so as for us to see
he glory of the world.
The question is- what love is
greater than this? That a man gave out his only son for other people. Even ritualists who kill to have money , many
of them left their old life as a result of the gift of the only son of the
father(john 3:16). The love of God has given us identity of been God’s children
(1 john 4:8), that love saved us from our ignorance.
Love (God’s love in and for man)
does not insist on its rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking, it is
not touchy or fretful or resentful. It takes no account of the evil done. It pays
no attention to a suffered wrong. It does not rejoice at injustice and
unrighteousness but rejoices when truth and right prevail.

GOD IS A HEALER
Sometimes
life will hurt you,
But remember
God heals, God is a healer
Sometimes
weapons form against you
But they
never prosper,
Remember God
is your shield.
BRIDGE
He’s waiting
for your call,
Waiting to
shield you from your fall
There is a
place of rest and peace in the sanctuary.
Yes (X3).
Sometimes,
your bills can stress you,
But remember
God’s peace, He is a peace giver
Sometimes
your money’s running low
And you are
worried how you will make it.
For God will
supply all your needs.
(Repeat
bridge)
(I feel you
move, in the sanctuary) X2
Yes (X3)
I feel the
breakthrough in the sanctuary
Yes (X3)
(More right
now Move, in the sanctuary x2)
I believe,
there is a miracle, in the sanctuary and he is waiting for you
God is a
healer (X13)
Sometimes
life will hunt you
So thank God
for sanctuary.
MESSAGE
Sometimes
life will hunt you, but remember God heals. God is a healer. Sometimes weapons
may form against you but they will never prosper, because God is your healer
and your shield. So never give up on God, because he can still do great and
mighty things.
AUTHENTIC
IDENTITY
Identity simply means who or what a
person is. It defines a person on totality. People may have an opinion of who
they think you are like in [Luke 9:19], [Ruth 3:9]. John the Baptist and even
Jesus Christ was asked about their Identity.
Knowing who
you are is a matter of personal discovery.
Jesus discovered his identity in [Luke 4:17] . Man is helpless without
God , that is why He sent his only begotten
Son Jesus do die for us [John 3:16]
In Matthew 11: 28 we are
admonished to come to the Son.
This is
our Identity
We have been brought with a price we are so precious to God [Psalm
8:4, John 3: 16]
By accepting
Jesus, you welcome his leadership as the king and lord over your life. This
acceptance is done with the heart by faith [Roman 10:10] and then confession
with the mouth in which lies the power of Life and death [Luke 12:8, Proverbs
18:21].
My friend,
When you do this, you are changed and transformed into a new creation [2nd
Corinthians 5: 17] your sins are just forgiven but you actually seated with
Christ in Heaven places [Eph 2:6].
A joint heir
with Christ [Roman 8:12] and a god. [Psalms 82:6]
In the
beginning man lost it, the very life of God which is eternal Life , but now
through the redeeming power of the Blood
of Jesus Christ, we are now saved from
condemnation , guilt and sin [Romans 8:1] We have authority to mount over
snakes and circumstances, we are more than Conqueror, Brethren now that you are
born again you must access divine truth from God ‘s word [2nd peter
1:3] , we must not fail to renew our mind daily[Romans 12:2] because this is
the key to walking in the reality of our true identity.
