Sunday Teaching 4: Caging Your Break-through With Self Bondage

 

Please pardon for late posting, I had to travel out with my family so I'm back and blogging continues.

If you are a constant reader of my Sunday teaching you will realize my teaching follows in order. Last week I talked about God's will to heal and answer even when prayers fails, in case you missed it you can read it here .
Now today I will like to chip in some certain things that can cause those unanswered prayers and we blame them on God. When you keep believing on negative things people have said about you, then you will keep living in your own self bondage and thus, break-through will be your enemy. That is why you see so many people today committing suicide because they see themselves as failures (self bondage).
Seeing yourself as a child of the King, is not prideful or boastful, but rather aligning your thinking with what God's Word has to say about you, and a pure and simple acceptance of what Christ has done for you on the cross.

If God calls you pure, clean, and a member of the royal family, yet you continue to go around claiming that you're just an old sinner saved by grace, then do you know what you're actually doing?.
You're denying what Christ has done for you! Christ made you a new creature when you accepted Him, and that new creature is no longer in bondage to sin.
 A sinner is defined in the dictionary as somebody who is still in bondage to sin. We may sin once in a while, but that's because we're saints who sin, not sinners (who's nature is to sin).

Knowing who you are in Christ is vital to your spiritual growth, healing, and deliverance. If you have a problem in this area of your life, then the process of inner healing and deliverance can be hindered. Overcoming this roadblock is essential to moving forward smoothly and efficiently in working with the other bondage in a person's life.
Questions you need to ask yourself:
What is your identity based upon? Is it your job? Your relationships? others acceptance of you, is it what others think about you? Is it what your parents said about you while growing up? Is it what you think about you? What should you base your identity upon? .We need to base our identity upon what God thinks about us.
Even what you think about yourself can be wrong, and usually is. What God thinks about you is the only accurate perception of who you really are.
 After all, He made you and knows the very hairs on your head (read Luke 12:7).
Stay tuned for next week...Be blessed.
