16th March 2025; Impartation Of Uncommon Justice - Welcome to our 2nd Service
What happens when we desperately want to do right but keep doing wrong? Deacon Timothy unpacks Paul's powerful confession in Romans 7 with a revelation that will transform your understanding of spiritual freedom. In the ancient Roman world, criminals convicted of capital offenses faced a horrific punishment—having the victim's corpse strapped to their body until they too died from the toxic decay. This vivid imagery illuminates Paul's desperate cry: "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?" Like many of us, Paul found himself trapped in a paradox—wanting to do good but repeatedly failing. "For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do." This universal human struggle reflects something deeper than mere willpower. It reveals the reality of spiritual bondage. But here's where hope breaks through. While common justice demands we carry the consequences of our actions, God offers what Deacon Timothy calls "uncommon justice"—a divine intervention that transforms our reality in three powerful ways: First, instead of smelling spiritually, we experience refreshment—like the prodigal son who returned from the pig pen to receive new clothes and restoration. Second, instead of decaying relationally, we receive nourishment—like the woman bent over for eighteen years whom Jesus straightened and empowered to stand tall. Finally, instead of dying eternally, we flourish abundantly as Jesus promised: "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." This message will challenge you to identify the "dead bodies" you've been carrying—patterns of sin, bitterness, or oppression—and permanently put them down through God's uncommon justice. Your breakthrough awaits when you recognize that in Christ, you're no longer chained to what once defined you.
