Romans 8:30 ( moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called them he also justified, and whom he justified, them he also glorified)
The process of justification begins when we give our lives to Christ.
Also, the works of the accuser started the moment you are born again since you’ve renounced all your relationship with the kingdom of darkness; Satan won’t stop until you’re justified by the atoning power of the blood of Jesus.
All our past sins are forgiven and wiped out by the blood of the lamb, God remembers the sin no more, but is yet to justify and remove us from under the curse of Adam.
All humanity fell inside the cage of Adam’s curse since birth, the flesh is in actions even if the person is yet to know right from wrong.
It’s redemption that separates the dead from the living.
Past sins are wiped out and a new record open to record your activities in the flesh till you’re call home when your time is up.
The devil started by reminding us of the past sins you committed before giving your life to Christ, to make you seem unworthy to stand in the presence of God.
Let Satan know what Christ has done and his testimony for what he did and what he is about to do for your total freedom.
Then remind Satan of his future in the lake of fire.
Most new believers don’t know this for they’re yet to study the word and understand the plan of God for them.
The owner of a goat that was tied down but escaped will surely be watching to bring it back inside the chain, that’s how Satan is watching the redeemed by setting a demon at their right to stand against their progress.
If there is any hidden sin that you refuse to confess, or if there are things in your life that don’t give glory to God, he will use it to stand against your spiritual progress.
Accuser is standing at the right hand of every believer, accusing them before the throne of God, while Jesus Christ is standing at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding on behalf of the heirs is salvation till they are justified and then glorify.
Remember Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord with filthy garments.
Satan was also standing at his right hand to accuse him, but the angel rebuked the devil and removed the filthy garment to clothe him with a new one.
There is always something in one’s life that’ll make the devil stand against someone that is why he was standing at the right hand of Joshua the high priest because of the filthy garment found on him..
Filthy garments represent sins, the works of the flesh that are standing against us before God and are preventing saints from getting to where they are supposed to be for it’s a hindrance on the way to breakthrough.
God interceded for the high priest and rebuked the devil that was accusing him, but the intercessory of Christ brought him to justification when his right to the kingdom was given to him by God.
No one has the right to defend themselves from the devil for he will always have something against us, That is why Jesus is standing at the right hand of God in heaven to intercede for the saints and bring them to justification.
No one is perfect is the mercy and grace that bring our perfection, Jesus is standing at the right hand of God till we are perfected and complete in Him.
Most Christians failed to repent of their immediate sin and confess the past, which is what gives Satan leverage over many of us, thinking that it’s the work of household wickedness.
Daily repentance by pleading the blood brings us closer to justification that leads to glorification, How will God plead your cause if you don’t admit to the wrongdoings?
You can’t continue in sin and say grace of God should increase, that’s why most of us remain at a mediocre level not ready to press further to the place of justification to experience the goodness of God and possess our heritage in Christ.
Any sin we commit after this without repenting of it will bring us under the judgment of God.
Most Christians are entertaining their accuser, giving him a reason to accuse them without them knowing it.
He withheld the answer to their prayers and stopped the angel of God from delivering the answer to their request.
God does answer prayers, it’s our unfaithfulness that is delaying it.
The Bible says, the hand of God is not too short to deliver, neither his ears closed to our prayer, but our iniquity separated us preventing him from hearing us.
We gave Satan permission to infiltrate our lives by living according to the dictates of our flesh and not allowing the spirit of God to have his way.
Until we are justified we can not be glorified, and this justification must take place at the cross when we abandon what attracts the enemy and frustrates the purpose of darkness by nailing it all to the Cross.
It’s only a justified Christian that Satan won’t find anything against, for his sin is forgiven and his iniquity pardoned.
Jesus Christ says, “The prince of the world came and found nothing in him “
What are our testimonies to overcome the devil if we are still working according to the dictates of the flesh which is under the control of his powers?
Most of the things we do as Christians are what give Satan an edge over us, he came to Jesus Christ but couldn’t find anything that would incriminate him..
Satan will put you to temptation and will also be the one to accuse you of disobedience to the law of God.
The day you discover the area you had sinned in that the enemy is using to put you in bondage is the day you’ll come out of it, but, unfortunately, many won’t agree with their accuser and he will in turn hand them over to judgment.
There is no way we won’t err as long as we are alive, that is why Jesus is standing at the right hand of God on behalf of the heirs of salvation.
I had a revelation many years ago, when I committed a particular offence for which I was disciplined in my church.
Then as I was sitting with the saints in my dream, someone just entered and wrote something on paper and handed it over to the pastor who was standing at the front.
When the pastor received it he called me out and asked me if I truly did what they accused me of; then I told the pastor that, indeed I committed it but the church gave me punishment which I have obeyed, and was finally forgiven by the church.
Then the pastor tore the paper and told me to sit down, that I am qualified now to stand with the saints to receive teaching, and then I woke up.
What is the sin you’re hiding from your brethren, This is what Satan is using against you that’s preventing your prayers from being answered.
It’s when you’re justified that your case shall be closed, since heaven won’t remember it again, so also Satan won’t have things to lay on you.
Most Christians are passing through some strange occurrence because of the past disobedience, when the holy spirit is pointing them to their error, they won’t agree, or because of shame use church service to cover up.
A sin we haven’t repented of is a legal ground of accusations, we can’t hide it from God, so why can’t we open up to him in secret so that he will forgive us openly?
Unforgiven sin is what gives Satan a legal ground to hold us captives without being aware of it.
If our sin is not forgiven, how can the face of God shine on us and remain blessed?
Many Christians have committed some unimaginable sin and they glory in it because nobody knows?
Even if your leaders don’t know, God sees you and satan is aware too.
Most Christian brothers are still beating their wives and they come to church to minister on the pulpit, If you don’t confess and repent, it will stand against you in this life and on the day of judgement.
Most Christian couples slept with each other before marriage and they still claim innocence, The devil will make sure you won’t confess it so that he will use it against you in judgment.
You should confess it now before your enemy Satan uses it against you and scatters your marriage, then you’ll be blaming household wickedness.
Some sought assistance from the devil after they’re born again, they did it and clean their mouth as if nothing happens, remember that the covenant will speak against you if you fail to repent, you can’t hide it from God, neither will you close the mouth of Satan from using it against your spiritual advancement.
A new chapter has been opened to record whatever we do in the flesh, this is what Satan is after to pull us down from the ladder of progress and stop our spiritual growth.
Any unconfessed sin becomes a hindrance on our journey to the presence of God and won’t allow the face of God to shine if we fail to repent of it and bring it to the Cross.
The anger of God is more terrible than any life circumstances, those who are in hell are pleading that God should send them back to the world and make amends even if they’re the poorest alive.
Satan has permission to take your life if you have not yet been justified before God.
What many believers don’t know is that Satan and his agents can’t just harm if God doesn’t permit, but when you break the edge serpent bite.
Truly we have an advocate before God who is interceding till we are justified.
That is why he is standing at the right of God to plead our case if we come to repentance.
How can a Christian couple commit abortion in the name of family planning, All the children they killed will stand to condemn them when they die if they refuse to repent.
Whatever is blocking your spiritual advancement will also stand against you in judgement, it’s better to repent and surrender everything at the feet of the cross before pressing forward to the place of justification, if not you won’t pass through the gate till you’re condemned and Satan will claim your soul in the end.
Prayer: Father Lord remove anything from my life that Satan is using against me before your throne, In jesus’ name amen
