Christ Is My Record

Philippians1:8 "For God is my record..." A record is any instance of a physical medium on which information was put for the purpose of preserving it and making it available for future reference. Records are very important,  without record we will have no knowledge of our history. In the world today, before a man or woman can contest for a political position, his or her record is first consulted. And after the clearance, if the election committee deem the person worthy he/she becomes qualify to contest.for example if a person who was once a prostitute or even a murderer want to contest, he/she will be disqualified. Even if they allow them to contest the people will not want to vote for them. World top universities like the university of harvard first check your performance in your previous schools. They consult your track record ie your behavior, attendance in school and grade; before considering giving you admission. Companies, before they give job to the applicant. They first contact the applicant previous employer about your physiological status and performance.The world first consult your past to determine your future. After man fell from grace fear came into existence. Man became no longer worthy to enter the throne of mercry, the presence of God. Man became hopeless. Ephesians 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world. 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. Jesus Christ sacrifice is our salvation. And by accepting him as our lord. We become born again.1peter1:23 "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever". When you become, God forgets your past sins. God said in Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. Your past record is cleared. Many people in the world wish they could just start over. Well you can start over now! Thats what it means to be born again. You start afresh, a clean slate in christ. You become a new creature .2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new". one of the beauties of salvation is that not only does jesus Christ blood wash away your sin but that when you give your life to christ. He becomes your record. No wonder paul the apostle said God is my record. So whenever you think about your past you see christ no longer your past mistakes or shame, but the lord jesus christ. The devil can no longer convince you that you are unworthy to enter his presence when you carry this mentality. That christ is your record. At salvation, a new record is given unto you. 1john5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son". So anytime you demand for something like healing, deliverance breakthrough  and the devil is telling you. You don't deserve it because of your past sins. Tell him you have a new record which is jesus christ. You are more than qualified through christ to succeed. You are not a failure because christ is not a failure. After salvation you begin to live christ life on earth through the help of the holyspirit. Christ life is a life of victory, success and obedience. Jesus christ is your record. No wonder the bible says we died and resurrected with him. You didn't die physically but as you accept jesus Christ life you actually did. Colossians 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.3:4 When CHRIST, WHO IS OUR LIFE, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. You are now  a joint heir with christ. Romans8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. So no matter how bad your past is, jesus christ is able to forgive you. Not only forgive but take you as his own. The first and only step to make jesus christ your record Is by being born again. Pray the salvation prayer with all sincerity. salvation prayer: Lord Jesus,  I come to you today! I am a sinner. I can't help myself. Forgive me my sins. Cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from the power of sin. Today, lord jesus, I accept you as my lord and saviour.  Now I know, I am born again.  Thank you lord. Jesus Christ is my record.
