For human marriage to take place there must be leaving and cleaving. Leaving is achieved by wedding ceremony when a father hands over his daughter to her betrothed husband. Cleaving is achieved through conjugal sex, the first time. It is a blood covenant that creates a soul-tie between husband and wife. A soul-tie can be godly or ungodly.

In a marriage joined by God, this tie is always godly. It is this tie that determines the course the marital union will follow.


An ungodly soul-tie can be converted to a godly soul-tie through purposeful deliverance ministration. In other words, an ungodly soul-tie can be broken by the power in the blood of Jesus.


WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?

One of the nightmares confronting present-day pastors is how to separate genuine Christians from false professors of Christ. Some unbelievers in the church are ignorant of new creation realities whereas others who are in church with devilish agenda know exactly what they are doing.

Virtually everybody in church claims to be born again whereas in reality only few have genuine salvation experience. Nowadays, it is rare to hear a testimony on salvation of soul. In some churches salvation testimony is not regarded as “hot” enough for presentation, forgetting that the most important testimony after the incarnation of Christ is the salvation of soul.

In the developed countries of the world people are getting disenchanted with going to church preferring to search for esoteric things that are unprofitable. In the developing regions of Africa, Asia and Latin America where people throng the church the motive is usually for creative and material miracles, producing claims of new birth from the head rather than from the heart.

Jesus told Nicodemus, a member of the Sanhedrin, Israeli’s highest ruling body: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:3, 5). One needs to be born again to “see” the kingdom of God. Again, one needs to be born of water and the Holy Spirit to enter the kingdom of God. 

All Have Sinned
All that come into the world are born spiritually dead destined for the lake of fire. The new birth is a change in destiny and destination. It is attained through repentance, restitution and deliverance from evil inheritance and incubated satanic deposits in the body. To be born again according to John 3:3, 5 means translation from death to life, ability to see the basic nature of things from the perspective of heaven and the power to be on the narrow road to life eternal.

Since God commands all to be born again, it then means something is wrong with the first birth. The reason God sent His only begotten Son the Lord Jesus Christ into the world is to redeem mankind.  To redeem is to buy back. Jesus offered His sinless blood as the ransom for the redemption of those who are willing to avail themselves of the privilege. It is an act of grace, entirely devoid of merit. A birth gives right to life.  The new birth is not reformation but a recreation. It bestows the divine nature on the recipient. It is a new life.  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.”

Translation from death to life does not automatically put a Christian on the road to life. A born again Christian can refuse to ‘see’ spiritual things, fail to exercise the power to be on the narrow road to heaven by refusing to take the sincere milk of the of God for growth. It should not surprise any careful observer that there are many born again Christians in this category.

You Must Be Born Again
Jesus said you must be born again of water and the Holy Spirit to enter heaven. Since there is a road that leads to the gate of heaven, it follows that one must discover the road and determine to walk along it in the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.  Just as repentance without restitution is not complete even so translation from death to life is incomplete without deliverance.

How To Be Born Again
Apostle Paul said “In Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” (1 Corinthians 4:15) affirming that the gospel of Christ is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes. The preaching of the gospel leads to repentance.

When the gospel is preached in the unction of the Holy Spirit, it produces conviction of sin by pricking the heart for godly sorrow for repentance or worldly sorrow for death with three results. “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” This is an honest inquiry on how to be saved. This amounts to calling on the name of the Lord in faith.

A second response could be outright rejection of the message.  The people said “Crucify him;” or “picked-up stones to throw at the preacher.” In modern parlance it means verbal and non-verbal scoffing, mocking or throwing tantrums at the preacher, giving unreasonable condition to accept Christ or diverting the subject-matter into other areas.

A third reaction is remorse or worldly sorrow for sin, which is conviction without accompanying change of mind. The Holy Spirit alone knows when sorrow for sin is genuine and call on name of Jesus is from the heart and not the head.

There are a number of activities performed by the Holy Spirit consequent upon conviction of sin following godly sorrow for sin such as sealing of the believer into the mystical Body of Christ and highlighting of name of Hypostatic Chip in the Lamb’s Book of Life. When a person is born again his or her name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. The name does not refer to the human name of the person concerned but the identity of the Hypostatic Chip implanted into the person at the point of regeneration. The names of the Chips were written in the Lamb’s Book of Life before the creation of the earth. What happens is that when an unregenerate person is translated from death to life, the Chip that evidenced the translation is marked with a label such as  ‘allocated’ and the result is a ‘new creation’ capable of being like Christ if the programme in the Chip is explored and obeyed through action borne out of faith in Christ. 


Abundant life in the flesh is not evil. 

The extremes of material well-being and chronic poverty do not fit into the abundant life Christ died on the Cross for. Excessive wealth on the one hand or acidic poverty on the other hand can lead to destiny truncation. The soul needs some measure of want to be properly focused on God.  

All-round lack is a harbinger of worldliness. Protracted hunger does not resist stealing to assuage it. Abstaining from the pleasures of this life is not virtuous. Over-indulgence in earthly pleasure is guaranteed to harden the heart, which erodes saving faith.
