WHO SHALL DELIVER ME FROM THIS BODY OF BONDAGE

 

Episode 2 | Pastor Manuel Writes

Our first episode is indicative of the fact that man was created with much glory and honour (dignity), and wielded with so much dominion over all things...as a free moral agent until the fall of man( the sin of Adam and its attendant effect on creation) . 

"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23) 

"For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life" (Romans 6:23)

Did man really die? Emphatically, yes! Because 

life as defined by God, is a continuous(unabated) flow of perfection and goodness, characterized by self generating and sustaining abilities. 

Life is expected to be a ceaseless flow of perfection and goodness( expectations, desires and their manifestation).

 Anything short of perfection(as expected) and goodness (tangible manifestation of expectations), according to the word of God is in the region of death. Life is meant to be self fulfilling and refresh- ing....not to be under the influence of strange desires and unchecked appetites that keep men bound. Unfortunately, such has become the bane of men; the unexpected and misfortune happening all the time not willingly but, because of what happened in the garden of Eden.

"they all walk on in darkness: the foundations of the earth are out of course" (Psalms 82:5)

This scripture suggests that the very foundation of life is out of balance with God's purpose. And as such, nature has taken a different turn altogether, not leaving man. Man has since been on a search for that life that satisfies and play out as expected. Hence, the pleasure-seeking life assumed by all men.

YOU HAVE TO WALK IN DIGNITY AGAIN: RISE TO YOUR CALLING

 

Episode 1 | Pastor Manuel Writes

Growing up, we took to certain habits out of curiosity or pleasure seeking. It looked harmless and somewhat controllable until we plunged ourselves into the addiction zone. Some are into uncontrollable usage of hard drugs and alcoholism to an extreme point of social exclusion and loss of societal respect. This isn't a dignified life at all.

And God said, " Let us make man in our image, after our likeness : and let them have dominion over all...." Genesis 1:26 

The above scripture underpins the fact that God made man in His own image( fearfully and wonderfully made above all creation), to exercise authority in the earth without any restriction whatsoever as a free moral agent; man was indeed a master of his world ,crowned with glory and honour. [Hebrews 2:7] "Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:"

It is however, no mistake to think of man as a glorious being who was in absolute charge of his choices and intentions ; this life was a honourable and dignified life which knows no bounds until sin first entered the world through Adam's disobedience. Sin activated a negative law at work in all men: Man stepped out of glory and honour...."For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23) . A law known as the law of sin and death began to have its way in man, eliciting wild choices and unrestricted cravings for wrong stuff. It gave rise to a compulsive drive to fulfill ill desires beyond man's control. "For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. [Romans 7:19 (KJV)]

It isn't the will of man to stray from moral and religious laws but that element of sin within him spurs him on. "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [Romans7:21(KJV)] This is the reason people get addicted to certain habits that compromise their health and dignity, yet, they can not put a stop to them; such habits are driven by an inner force beyond human control. This is the power of the law of sin and death at work in every man who hasn't met Christ Jesus.
