Success Secrets Of Christ

Have you ever considered how Jesus succeeded on earth to the point that His words and acts are still being celebrated, and His followers are increasing tremendously by the hour? Jesus came on a mission and He finished within a short but good record time. What could have been His success secrets? This article gives the secrets of Jesus’ success on earth.

And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him– John 8:29 (NKJV)

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him – Acts 10:38 (NKJV)

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, - Philippians 2:8-9 (NKJV)

Jesus’ ministry on earth was only for three and half years but was so impactful and successful; within this period He laid an unshakeable foundation that His disciples are still building on and will continue to build on till He returns. His success secrets (which if you act upon) are able to reproduce the same success story in your life.  Let’s look at them: 

The Success Secrets of Christ.

1.       Obedience

Jesus was very obedient to the instructions of His father. He came first and foremost in obedience to God. God needed someone to redeem man and He sent Christ to do so – Galatians 4:4-5. And throughout His stay on earth, He lived a life of obedience unto God. This enabled Him to carry God’s presence all through His time on earth (John 8:29).

And according to John 3:2, no man can do the miracles that Jesus did except God is with him. In other words, Christ’s obedience to God led to the miracles that occurred through Him. Furthermore, obedience led to His name being exalted above every other name – Philippians 2:9

2.       Wisdom

Jesus was the wisdom of God (1 Corinthians 1:24) but He needed to be filled with wisdom to be able to succeed in His assignment – Luke 2:40. In many occasions He applied wisdom to overcome the Pharisees’ plots. And His teachings were done with great applications of wisdom. Read more..

The Power In The Blood Of Jesus

Do you know that there's power in Jesus blood? Every covenant is sealed with blood, and in the case of The New Testament, it was sealed with the blood of Jesus. The Christian faith is anchored on the shed blood of Jesus, and an understanding of its power and the benefits will help you apply your faith to it .

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (Revelation 12:11 NKJV)

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. (I Corinthians 2:7-8 NKJV)

Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me. (John 6:53-57 NKJV)

In the Old Testament, almost all things were purified with animal blood, and there was no remission without shedding of blood (Hebrews 9:22). The blood was used for cleansing, sanctification and consecration of things and people. The blood was very important for their continual existence and because the blood of animals had no capacity to take sin away, the blood of animals were shed repeatedly ( Hebrews 10: 1-4)

However, when Jesus came, He shed His blood once and for all. For by one offering He perfected forever those who are being sanctified, and in so doing fulfilled the will of God - Hebrews 10:5-7, 14. Sin consciousness is now totally removed from those cleansed by His blood.

The power in the blood of Jesus Christ

There's power in Jesus blood, otherwise, God would not have allowed His Son's blood to be shed. Apart from your sins being washed away by Christ's blood and your conscience being purged of dead works by the blood (Hebrews 9:14), you also have a lot to harness from the power of Christ's shed blood, which if the rulers of this age knew they would not have crucified Him.

In The Beginning He Was

Praise God! I have been privileged of God to write a second book which will be available to you soon on this site. It is about the Lord Jesus, what you need to know about Him.

What do you know about the man Jesus? A baby boy that was born to Mary and Joseph in a manger? A man crucified on the cross for our salvation sake? A man who rose on the third day? Jesus Christ is more than that and a deeper knowledge of Christ will open you up to the love, power and victory that He manifests. In the next few weeks I will post excerpts from the work.


Today we will look at the title "In the Beginning He was"

How well do you know Christ? A person you understand is the person you can risk following. And knowing his origin and background makes it easier trust him. Christ’s story is well spelt out in the scriptures and we will be exploring it in this post.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.. – John 1:1-3, 14 (NKJV) 

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” – Genesis 1:26 (NKJV)

Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” – John 8:58 (NKJV)

Jesus Christ was from the beginning of creation. He is not a man who surfaced at the time of the New Testament.  His existence had been right from the time of God the creator. He only became flesh and dwelt among men during the time of the apostles.

All things were made through Jesus, and nothing was made without Him. We see this confirmed in Genesis 1:26 when God said, “Let Us make man in Our image…” Also, Jesus confirmed His existence long before the New Testament when He told the Pharisees that before Abraham was He is. 

Therefore, Christ is your maker and the creator of all you can see. He knows you better than you know yourself. And since He has always been there from the beginning, He understands this world and its system more than anybody. That means He is the best consultant for all world operations.

Also, in spiritual matters He is the most reliable force to camp with. He knows all the devices of the enemy and has counter attacks to defeat the devil any time anywhere. Nothing is new under the sun. That means Christ can tell you of your tomorrow. Read more...

In The Beginning Of The New Year

What is on top of your priority list for this New Year? How do you intend to start the year? The beginning of a thing has a tremendous influence on the ending of that thing. As such, how you start this year will determine how you will end the year. This post tells you what you would need to do in the beginning of this year to sail through successfully and end the year with great blessings.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it – John 1:1-5 (NKJV).

It is good to start the New Year on a good footing or foundation if you desire to experience the blessings of God all through this year. Psalm 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous do?” If you don’t lay a solid foundation now, the year may be challenging more than you can manage. A right beginning will release the wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Ephesians 1:17-18) that you need to go through all the days of the year victoriously.

 

The scriptures in John 1:1-5 give us the building blocks for a solid foundation for a New Year. These include:

The word of God should come first in your life

The world started with the word of God. All we see created by God came from the word of the Lord (Hebrews 11:3) and they are still standing and obeying the laws governing their creation (Jeremiah 33:20-21). Therefore studying the scriptures and laying them in your heart and practicing them will cause the word of the Almighty to be made manifest in your life throughout the year. Start everyday with feeding your spirit man with word of God and you will see the day starting and ending for your good (Romans 8:28). Read more...
