The Revelation of union with Christ that must change your story and give you a new testimony
By Witness Kenpaul Obieke
Romans 7:1-6 KJV
[1] Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? [2] For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. [3] So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. [4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. [5] For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. [6] But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
What you read above is a very important mystery you need to understand in other to enjoy your freedom in Christ and also avoid ‘freedom’. A sinner is a sinner by nature. He or she didn’t become a sinner by committing sin. Get this clear. It is in born. In the above text the bond between a sinner, carnal or natural man was described as a marriage. Marriage produces children for the couple. The wife is subject to the husband. That is why when you are still in the flesh and serving God, it is not possible because all your services or efforts produce only for your husband the flesh. Everything it produces is not acceptable to God because it is corrupted by flesh.
No matter how wonderfully you can preach, sing or donate money to the work of God, if it is motivated by flesh, it is not acceptable by God who flesh cannot glory before Him. Take for instance, traditionally in most places, if a woman is married and goes into sexual intercourse with another man, the product of that intercourse as in children goes to the husband who paid dowry on her head. Even if she leaves the husbands house and stays somewhere else, as long as the bride price is not returned yet, all the children she is giving birth to and all she has belong to the husband whose bride price is still hanging on her head. The law of the husband who paid her bride price is still holding her no matter what.
Now, watch this! At the Cross of Jesus Christ, the marriage between a believer and the flesh was terminated by death. Mr. Flesh that the person was married to and is under his law dies and the person is now free to marry to Jesus. By this he or she is free and no more under the law but under the grace of the new husband, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. If while the Flesh which was the husband is still alive and the person chooses to marry Jesus, he or she is seen as an adulteress. That is what is happening today in the lives of many church goers who don’t understand this. When someone says is a believer which means you are married to Jesus but you are still living after the flesh, the person is lying. All that person is doing doesn’t benefit Christ at all. It is a big mystery. People might think you are achieving a lot but all they think you are achieving goes to Mr flesh, the husband that is not yet dead and thereby satan has chance to steal, kill and destroy. A christian that is not yet dead to the flesh is useless to the Kingdom and cannot be useful to Christ even as double general overseer. This is also applicable to any religious person who is still labouring under law and works. You are still under the law of your husband and can’t be of Christ. It is only the moment your husband Mr flesh is dead that you can be married to Jesus for you to enjoy His free gift of grace.
Romans 10:10 KJV
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” If you confess Jesus as your Lord or husband but still lives in sin as you like, you are a liar and an adulteress because you cannot have two husbands. No one can marry Mr Flesh and Jesus together. You must give up one. This is what is playing out in most churches now and is not true. The Cross of Jesus perfectly destroyed the marriage between every true believer and the flesh who now is married legally to Jesus. The former husband is crucified and he or she is married to a new husband for a new glorious life of grace in Christ Jesus. Do we continue in sin for grace to abound? No way, you cannot enjoy grace living in willful sin.
1 Corinthians 7:39 KJV
[39] The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.”If you are a believer, you are done with the flesh and all its lusts. Get it clear. Never be entangled into yoke of bondage with the sin or law of your former husband Mr. flesh.
Galatians 5:16-26 KJV
[16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. [17] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. [18] But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. [24] And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. [26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”
The works of Mr. Flesh your former husband are listed there as well as the fruits of the Spirit your new Husband. In Christ who is your new husband, you produce His fruits as stated there because His seed is planted in you.
2 Corinthians 11:2-4 KJV
[2] For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. [3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. [4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.”
Apostle Paul made a huge statement over there which must be well understood. His labour as should be that of every genuine minister of God is to present every believer as a chaste virgin to Christ alone through His undiluted Gospel. One cannot be a true wife of Christ without absolute submission to Him alone. Now that the former husband, Chief Mr. Flesh is dead, the believer is no more subject to him and all about him but all about Christ in spirit and in truth. It was Chief Mr. Flesh that brought sin, sickness and all the malady man is suffering. Every evil thing came with the fall.
Now as Mr. Flesh is dead through the mystery of the Cross, the believer who is now married legally to Jesus is free to enjoy abundant grace in no more being a slave to sin, sickness, poverty and all worth nots that sin or the fall brought. But now basking in everlasting glory and power including all that belong to the new Husband, the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. You cannot in any way be a slave to sin if you truly embrace this truth and access your freedom from sin through what Jesus did for you at the Cross. The devil has no legal right any more to afflict or oppress you anymore in any way. Rather you have the authority and power of Jesus your loving husband over him forever.
You cannot miss rapture or Heaven in this mystery. Your husband is coming to collect you and cannot leave you behind. You now live for your husband truly and joyfully. Galatians 2:20. Sing this song with joy: “I am married to Jesus, Satan leave me alone, my Saviour is coming to take me away to everlasting Home. Your new HUSBAND is all powerful to protect and provide beyond all you need in EVERYTHING and EVERYWAY.
Is there anything that this your new Husband cannot do for you now? Do you have any need He cannot supply? Are you sick and He cannot heal you no matter the name? Is there any normal husband that will like to see the wife molested and messed up at all?
Do you need any deliverance that is above this your new Husband even if others have written you off? Your new Husband is called the Resurrection and the Life, the Alpha and Omega. He walked on the Sea and raised as well as fed multitudes supernaturally. Do you another if His name? It is Lion 🦁 of Judah the Mighty Man in battle. His name is Miracle and He can do the very miracle you need now and always. He has redeemed you from curse to blessing, darkness to light. Enjoy your new marriage and live in the days of Heaven on earth as we eagerly await the imminent return of our KING. Please bless as many as possible with this classic. See you on board the Rapture flight. Love you!
