July 2009: Salvation Is Supernatural By Israel Adegboye

Salvation is Supernatural

The salvation of God is always with you, when you believe. If you can believe it, you will see it, irrespective of your situation. God is not limited in his salvation. He permeates everything in life and in death. The truth can never fail: Make the truth of the word of God your virtues; and you will never fail. The word of God in you; makes you a minister. You are a minister of the New Testament, the testament of Jesus. To be a minister of the testament of Jesus is by becoming the incarnate of the testator. Ministers of the New Testament are to conform to the image of the testator. The words that make you a minister are spirit. So you’re a minister of the spirit. A minister of the spirit cannot be a preponderant of the flesh but of the spirit. The Lord is that spirit! Being a minister of the spirit; confers a holy priesthood upon you. The priests of God have spiritual access for spiritual assignments. Your spiritual assignment confers the priesthood status on you. Your first spiritual assignment after you have been saved is to witness Christ to others. This is your greatest spiritual assignment as a believer. Your priesthood responsibility begins by witnessing Christ to others. This responsibility cannot be over emphasize; as it has consequences on your fulfillment on earth, and rewards in eternity. Your commission as a Priest begins at salvation and you automatically assume responsibility. The gifts of some apostles; and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some pastors and teachers; do not confer eternal rewards without the fruits! All are primarily priests; but some are assigned to the different offices for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. The gifts are for administration in the body, for effective priesthood. It is just like the different ministerial positions in the government of the nations, are delegated authorities for effective government and administration. Only some are ministers and governors; but all citizens are required to keep the law. The positions are like the gifts that you have to discover by yourself! The law is to win souls! All are required to mentor souls for eternity at whatever level you’re enabled. The souls you mentor for eternity becomes the hope of your rejoicing and crown in eternity. The crowns of your glory are the souls that go with you to eternity. There is a side attraction for accentuation: “Have you ever noticed that where evil is prevalent, the workers of iniquity are like stubborn goats! They are tenaciously wicked; for the crowns of principalities and devilish hierarchy, in the satanic world. Evil works are like daily bread for food; and like as it were the requirement of ‘holiness’ to be evil. If an evil parent must have their children killed for crowns of principalities; it is done or attempted without the remorse of consequences”. Do not entertain self deceit to disregard the reward of soul winning in eternity. If positions and ranks are valuable in this world, with all the imperfections in the world; the same will be craved in eternity. Any soul that is destitute of rewards shall be destitute in eternity: Because the rewards of crowns are valuable in eternity. If you do not have the reward of a crown; it will be like every one has a uniform and you do not have one. “You’re like a man without a wedding garment, getting married to the Lamb”. Do not think too far; if other consequences might follow or not! It makes you a stigma in eternity! You’re like a black sheep of the raptured!!!
