EXERCISING YOUR RIGHTS
Brother James, OIC
Joh 1:11-13 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power (right) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Exercise is a striving to meet a challenge. Many in the Church today do not exercise their right to receive the privileges in Christ in order to become a son and by inclusion a daughter of the Most High God. They instead choose the lesser visual path of the worlds, therefore Satan’s hell bound benefit package to meet the challenges of life.
Complete Wholeness is what Christ has to offer. Total Healing: Physically, Spiritually, Emotionally and Provisionally. But there is a Christ in the churches today that is not the True Risen Savior.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christ’s, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mar 13:22 For false Christ’s and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
Because of the perilous times we are in it is therefore your responsibility to not enter into the deception the False Christ’s offer. Your first and foremost right you must exercise then is that right to become the elect of God.
2Pe 1:9-11 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Paul the Apostle instructed and warned us:
Php 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Gal 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
It all comes down to Who you put your trust in; mans accomplishments which equate to Satans solutions to lifes circumstances or the Promises of God that make you a Partaker of His Divine Nature?
2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust
In 2nd Peter we also find the life changing ingredients needed to exercise your right to become a son of God:
2Pe 1:5-10 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
And this all starts and ends with the Living Knowledge of Rightly Dividing the Truth of Gods Word:
2Pe 1:2-3 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the(full and complete) knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the(full and complete) knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Exercise your right today by:
2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
