Pastor Taiwo @ Sunday service
In continuation of the message he started the previous Thursday, pastor Taiwo at the July 12 Sunday service said that Adam’s disobedience in the Garden of Eden, which led to the fall of humanity, represents an abuse of the Law of Life, which resulted into dire consequences of the devil taking over the reins of authority from mankind as well as both physical and spiritual death.
He however pointed out that the consequences of the law of sin and death has no effect over anyone who accepts Jesus Christ and believes in His work of Redemption, noting that such a person has received the Law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus which sets him or her free from the law of sin and death as recorded in Romans 8:1 -2. “There is a limit to what man can say or do to you when you operate under the Law of the Spirit,” he said.
He then admonished believers to always conform to GOD’s declarations in the light of the current pandemic, noting that the Law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus is superior to other laws governing sickness, shame, disgrace, and afflictions. “Hold fast to this reality for the assurance of already settled victory,” he urged.
Other scriptural References are: Genesis 2:16, Psalm 51, Acts 16:24 – 25, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Psalm 7:22 -23, Romans 5:17, and Colossians 2:10

THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE
Pastor Taiwo @Thursday Showers
Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, in his message at the July 9 Thursday showers service, told the participants that anyone who accepts Christ’s work of redemption has crossed over from the law of sin and death to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, noting that such a believer therefore lives above the law of sin, death, sorrow and everything the devil unleashes on the world just as Romans 8:1-2 declares.
According to him, the law of sin and death holds one captive through guilt but the law of life in Christ Jesus sets free from that guilt. This, he explained, can happen when one focuses on the word of God. “You can stay victorious over the law of sin and death if you can latch on to the law of life in Christ Jesus,” he said.
Pastor Taiwo further said that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus supersedes the law of sin and death just as the law of aerodynamics supersedes the law of gravity. This is why, according to him, anyone who accepts the life in Christ crosses from the laws of the flesh, sin and mind which lead to the law of sin and death to the law of the Spirit of life in Christ which brings one to freedom (Romans 7:22- 23).
Pastor Taiwo also explained that one needs to have a proper understanding of this law of freedom in Christ and also appropriate it well by continuous confession to be able to enjoy it, noting that this freedom in Christ is not a license to careless living.
He therefore urged his listeners/viewers to accept the freedom in the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, so as to help them overcome sin and its guilt, including death. “Every characteristic of sin is subdued and defeated once the law of the spirit of life in Jesus sets in. So, you can live above the law of death and be a blessing to your spouse and generations when you apply this knowledge,” he urged.
