“Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” Romans 8:33-34





If you have made Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour of your life, you have been discharged and acquitted from any charge the devil may bring against you. The Bible calls the devil the accuser of the brethren (Rev. 12:10). His assignment is to ensure that he keeps you permanently under condemnation. He tells you how unworthy you are to even expect anything from God. He jumps on your shoulder to tell you how many things you have done wrong and so tells you to forget ever thinking you will receive any good thing from God.






But the TRUTH the devil will never tell you is that, yes in yourself you have nothing to your credit. However IN CHRIST there is no more condemnation. Our text today gives you an assurance that you are discharged and acquitted. Who can lay anything to your charge when God Himself has justified you already? God, the ultimate judge is the One that declared you discharged and acquitted, why then are you listening to the devil who is trying to intimidate you with your past. Your past is nothing but the past. It is already behind you, so don’t hold yourself down on it; arise, dust yourself and move on because God has great plans in store for you.




Jesus Christ is the very one that died for your mess and still continues to intercede for you. Another interesting thing to note is that God picks you up in your mess and turn you into a message, but only if you believe. The devil has lost you completely. You are free.
