*Study scripture:* _Romans 8:1 – There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit._
*NO CONDEMNATION*
What is to condemn someone? To lay condemnation means to place a sentence of judgement upon a man because of their action. Everything a man does in this world has an end consequences which is its judgement. Condemnation comes because of the failure to meet a certain standard.
For example, the end of sickness is death. Jesus said that Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death *_(John 11:4)._* This means when a man falls sick,they often have a sentence of death upon their lives. But because an encounter with Christ is unto justification, Lazarus’s sickness turned out to the glory of God. The sentence and condemnation of death lost its grip on Lazarus because of Christ.
In Romans 6:23, the scripture says that the wages of sin is death. But remember you have received Jesus Christ as Lord and savior. You have embraced the testimony of redemption. This means that to you a Christian, you are no longer under the sentence of death because of sin but have received justification and righteousness through your faith in Christ. You are now alive because of righteousness.
When you do not have a job, your salary has taken long to come, your sponsor has not released money, your contract has been terminated,the sentence you Carry upon you is condemnation unto poverty. But because you are in Christ,he became poor to make you rich. You are justified for wealth through Christ’s poverty. You have never poor from the time you became born again.
To ascend above condemnation means to get hold of the testimony of the spirit of God in the person of Jesus Christ. When you understand and believe the finished works of Jesus,you are nolonger subject to condemnation. To walk in the flesh means you will continually have a sentence of death in you.
*_Romans 7:18 – For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing:_* The bible tells us not to walk after the flesh but in the spirit. There is nothing good in your flesh. To walk in the flesh is to move according to your senses. This will rob you of your God given ability and disapprove you. You are supposed to walk according to what the spirit has testified in Christ.
To walk in the spirit means to get hold of the testimony of God. Understanding the mind of the spirit is what gives you the boldness not to feel condemned, disqualify and disapprove yourself. You could be experiencing condemnation simply because you are walking by the flesh. Everyman that walks by God’s testimony doesn’t feel condemned.
*Glory to God!!!*
*Further study:*
2 Corinthians 5:17
Romans 5:1
*Nugget:*
Do not condemn yourself unto poverty because you have no job. You have justification unto wealth through the poverty of Christ. Do not condemn yourself unto death because of sin in your flesh. You have justification unto righteousness through the death and resurrection of Jesus. Everyone that walks in condemnation,self judgement and disqualification does so because he walks in the flesh. Open your eyes to what God has done for you by the spirit and ascend above condemnation.
*Prayer:*
I am fully justified for my family. I am justified for my career. The sentence of death has no place in me in the name of Jesus.
Amen.
