POWER TO BECOME AND HAVE A NEW BEGINNING
POWER TO BECOME AND HAVE A NEW BEGINNING
Heb 7:11-16 KJV 11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. 13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, 16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
There was a prophecy that was made a thousand plus some years that the Lord Jesus would become a priest after the order of Melchisedech, Ps 110: 4.
But there was a problem. Only the people from the tribe of Levites can become priests and the Lord Jesus who was not from the tribe of Levi but Judah. So how would the prophecy be fulfilled?
He had argued that there was a law that controlled how someone can become a priest. The law of Moses stipulated that only the tribe of Levi can become a priest.
Deu 10:8 KJV At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.
In 2Chr 26, King Uzziah attempted to perform priestly office but he became a leper notwithstanding that he was from the tribe of Judah and a king.
In order for Jesus to become priest, they have to change the law, so the old covenant was replaced because a new priest after a new order was to be established and not after a levitical or Aaronical order.
In life there are laws promulgated to bar people from achieving their aim, getting a job or place, cut off law, indigene law, community slots
There are also decrees, incantation, spell, ordinances and statements made by people under the influence of the devil to hinder, stop people from becoming what God has destined them to be.
Every such law shall be revoked in Jesus name.
I discovered that changing the law cannot make Him priest, He had to be constituted, ordained. If the federal government removes the age restriction on Jamb, that does not mean you will still gain admission until you write UTME and pass.
Even though the law was changed, the Lord Jesus had to be consecrated, inaugurated, appointed into the office. Aaron was consecrated through anointing oil and all that but this is different.
The people in the tribe of Levi were made Priests by external law, by regulations of laws and were consecrated by using anointing oil, washing and ordinances.
He was not made a priest by legal purifying with water, nor anointed with oil, nor sprinkled with blood, nor clothed with priestly garments, as Aaron and his order was, Exo 39:1-43 40:13-15,31,32; nor initiated with sacrifices of bulls, goats, etc. . He was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, Act 10:38, which mighty influence enabled him to execute his office.
Jesus our Lord did not become a high priest through human rules and regulations. He became a high priest through the power of his endless life, which makes it possible for him to serve forever!!! This is in contrast with the Levitical priesthood, who die and terminate their service.”
But in opposition to that Christ was made a priest by the power of endless life. The word “power” there is “Dunamis” . It is called “inherent power in a being that causes change and transformation” The Lord Jesus was made priest by the power of the endless life, Zoe, the life of God which is the power of the Holy Ghost that lives inside of Him.
It is that power that raised him from the dead, made Him a priest too.
Jesus was made. The word “made” is “Ginomai” in Greek and it means to become. He was constituted or appointed. He was made what He was not before.
There is a power that makes someone to be what they are not.
Psa 113:9 KJV He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
Mat 15:30-31 KJV 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them: 31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
Mat 14:36 KJV And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.
There is a power that make a jobless person to become a manager
There is a power that make an unmarried to become latest groom and bride
What will bring about a change and transformation to a Christian is not outside of him but already placed on the inside. It is resident. Whatever we will become has already been put inside of us.
Take for instance, what will heal you is already inside of you.
Rom 8:11 KJV But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The power that will heal is resident in that mortal body
What must we do?
1. Appreciate God because Christ in you is the hope of glory. You may not know how to figure it out first but appreciate God that you have already what it takes to be healed, delivered, rescued and transformed.
2. Ephe 2: 18 says that our eyes of understanding may be enlightened. That is flooded with light so we can see, be conscious, have an awareness, phronensis, insight into what we already have.
3. That power must be to put work in order for life to be made manifest in our bodies.
Eph 3:20 KJV Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
Col 1:29 KJV Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Life must flow.
Joh 7:38 KJV He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
How to release the power of endless life?
Pray in the other tongue and let the Holy Spirit prays through you.
1. You pray
1Ti 2:8 KJV I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
2. The Spirit in you pray by the Holy Spirit
1Co 14:14 KJV For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
1 Corinthians 14:14 For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit [by the Holy Spirit within me] prays, but my mind is unproductive [it bears no fruit and helps nobody].
3. The Holy Spirit Himself prays through you.
Rom 8:26 KJV Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
Prayers
Let the life of God be manifest in my body, in my situation, in my life.
2Co 4:10 KJV Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Every restraining injunction placed over any area of my life is broken
Every law, ordinances and pronouncement over my life is vacated now in Jesus name.
I walk in the newness of life, I walk in glory, I walk in victory, I walk in health.
