esklav kiyès ou ye?

Moun pa renmen mo esklav la epi yo pa vle yo rele yo esklav yon moun. Men nan lavi, ou pral esklav yon moun. Kesyon an se, esklav kiyès ou ye? Do you live after the flesh and do you belong to the darkness and are you a slave of the devil and do you listen and obey him or do you walk after the Spirit and do you belong to the Light and are you a slave of Jesus Christ and do you listen and obey Jesus Christ?

Alegori Aga ak Sara

Nan Galat 4:21-5:1, Paul gave the allegory of Agar and Sarah. Agar was a bondmaid (fanm esklav), and her child Ishmael was born after the flesh. Sarah was a free woman and her child Isaac was born by the promise of God.

This allegory of Agar and Sarah in the Bible, represents the old creation that is born in the flesh (ansyen kontra a), and the new creation that is born of the promise, Nan Jezikri, pa Lespri Sen an (nouvo alyans lan).

Di mwen, ou ki anvi anba lalwa, ou pa tande lalwa? Paske sa ekri, ke Abraram te gen de pitit gason, youn nan yon sèvant (fanm esklav), lòt la pa yon freewoman. Men, moun ki te nan esklav la te fèt dapre lachè; Men, li nan fanm ki lib la te pwomèt la. Ki bagay yo se yon alegori: paske sa yo se de alyans yo; moun ki soti nan mòn Sinayi a, ki genreth nan esklavaj, ki se Agar. Pou sa Aga se mòn Sinayi nan peyi Arabi, Li reponn Jerizalèm ki la kounye a, epi li nan esklavaj ak pitit li yo.

Men, lavil Jerizalèm ki anwo a gratis, ki se manman nou tout. Paske sa ekri, Fè kè nou kontan, ou fè pitit ki pa fè pitit; pete epi kriye, ou menm ki pa trakase: paske dezè a gen plis pitit pase sa ki gen yon mari. Kounye a nou, frè m yo, menm jan Izarak te ye, se pitit pwomès yo. Men, menm jan lè sa a, moun ki te fèt dapre kò a te pèsekite moun ki te fèt dapre Lespri Bondye a, menm si sa ye kounye a. Men, sa ki ekri nan Liv la di? Chase esklav la ak pitit gason l' deyò: paske pitit esklav la p'ap eritye ansanm ak pitit fi esklav la. Se konsa, lè sa a, frè m yo, nou pa pitit esklav la, men nan gratis la. Se poutèt sa, rete fèm nan libète Kris la te fè nou lib la, epi pa dwe mele ankò ak jouk esklavaj la (Galat 4:21-5:1)

The old creation is a slave of the devil

Anvan ou te konnen Jezikri ak anvan li te delivre ou anba a wayòm fènwa, ou te yon esklav dyab la; yon timoun chanèl. Ou te esklav kò ou (kò ou, sans, Mind Carnal, emosyon yo, antiman, elatriye.). The sinful flesh reigned as king in your life and you were tossed to and fro by your feelings and emotions.

You were led by your flesh and fulfilled the lusts and desires of your flesh and your carnal mind. Your flesh was in control and you listened to – epi obeyi kò ou (nan. Efezyen yo 2).

Ou pat lib, men ou te esklav kò ou epi ou te viv nan esklavaj espirityèl lanmò

The two sons of God on earth: Adan ak Jezi

Before the day of Pentecost, anvan devèsman Lespri Sen an, God had two sons on earthL Adam and Jesus.

Premye pitit gason Adan te kreye pafètman apre imaj Bondye a (Bondye; Bondye, Jesus the Word, ak Sentespri a). Sepandan, Adan te kwè manti dyab la pi wo pase verite Papa l (alèji kòmandman Bondye). Adan te fè volonte l olye l te fè volonte Papa l. And so Adam disobeyed God and sinned.

Adam did what God forbade Adam to do. Akoz dezobeyisans li anvè Bondye, Adan (ak Èv) became a slave of the the devil, a slave of darkness and a slave of the flesh.

Mwen pral mete lènmi ant ou menm ak fanm lan, Ant pitit pitit ou yo ak pitit pitit li

Lespri yo te mouri e yo pa t lib ankò. Yo te chanèl e yo te mare pa lachè.

Because they became corrupt, the seed of the man became corrupt. Tout moun, ki moun ki ta fèt nan pitit pitit moun, ta dwe fèt kòm yon esklav dyab la, a child of the devil aka a sinner.

The second Son Jesus was the Son of the promise. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Maria.

Jezi te vini nan kò a nan resanblans moun, men Li te fèt nan Desandan Lespri a.

Nan Jenèz 3:15, God promised that the seed of the woman would bruise the head of the devil. The seed that God was referring to, was Jesus Christ His Son. Jesus would take the devil’s authority and power and give it back to the new creation.

And that’s exactly what happened when Jesus te mouri sou kwa a as a sacrifice for humanity. Jezi te pran tout inikite ak peche mond lan sou li. Jezi te fè peche ak Se poutèt sa Jezi te antre nan Hadès legalman.

Nan mò yo ye, Jezi te reprann kle lanmò ak lanfè epi li te detronize dyab la, nan pran otorite li. Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò e kounye a, li chita sou bò dwat Bondye (Li tou: Kisa Jezi te fè nan lanfè??).

Tout moun fèt yon pechè

Chak person that is born on earth is born of the seed of fallen man and is born as a sinner (yon esklav peche). Pa gen yon sèl eskli.

All people are sinners and remain sinners until they hear the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and decide to believe and repent of their sins and turn to Jesus Christ and become born again.

Only when people become born again by the incorruptible Seed of the Spirit, they will no longer be sinners and slaves of the devil and sin.

The people decided to believe Jesus Christ and follow Him and turn their back to their old life as a slave of the devil and sin. They are no longer carnal and through the flesh bound to the devil and walk in sin. But by faith and through regeneration in Christ, they have become spiritual and are bound by the Spirit to Jesus Christ and shall walk in righteousness.

The new creation is a son of God (sa a aplike a tou de gason ak fi), born of the promise by the Holy Spirit.

Pitit lachè yo

Atravè entèferans Sara, Ishmael was fathered after the flesh. Sarah wanted to help God a little bit and offered her bondmaid Agar to Abraham. But God didn’t need Sarah’s help. Zak Sara te gen konsekans pou desandan Izarak la. Paske pitit pitit yon sèl la, ki te fèt apre chè a te pèsekite pitit pitit yon sèl la, ki te fèt apre pwomès la.

Bib vèsè John 3-6 sa ki fèt nan lespri a se lespri

Pitit gason Aga yo reprezante pitit dyab yo; the sons of this world. These sons have the evil nature of the devil and the spirit of this world within them; lespri antikristyanism lan.

Yo se pechè, esklav peche. Se poutèt sa, they live in the bondage of sin.

Yo kontwole ak dirije pa panse yo nan lespri chanal yo epi yo viv apre volonte a, lanvi, dezi, emosyon yo, ak santiman nan kò yo.

Yo fè bagay sa yo, ki Bondye pa renmen epi li te entèdi pèp li a fè nan lalwa nan Ansyen Alyans lan.

Yo menm jan ak Adan, ki te kwè manti dyab la, olye de verite Bondye a e li te vin dezobeyi Pawòl Bondye a ak kòmandman l.

Yo panse yo gratis. Men an reyalite, they are slaves of the devil and slaves of their flesh (kò ak nanm). They are controlled by the evil spirits of darkness that cause them to sin. And through their sinning they give power to the devil and worship him.

Pitit gason pwomès la

Pitit gason Sara yo (fanm lib la) are the sons of God and the Kingdom of Heaven. They are the sons of the promise: nouvo kreyasyon an. They’re born again in Jesus Christ of the Seed of the Holy Spirit.

Yo vin tounen pitit Bondye e yo gen aksè a Wayòm syèl la ak twòn Bondye a.

They are no longer sinners and don’t live under the judgment of the law of sin and death anymore. Paske yo genyen kloure kò yo sou kwa (volonte yo, 'pwòp tèt ou', antiman, emosyon yo, carnal lusts, dezi, elatriye.) in Christ and buried their flesh through baptism.

Lespri yo vin vivan, paske lespri yo, Ki moun ki te mouri, te leve soti vivan nan lanmò pa pouvwa Sentespri a.

San Jezikri te fè yo sen e yo jis e yo libere anba esklavaj fènwa a..

The sons of God are controlled by the Holy Spirit

As they are holy and righteous in Christ, the received the promise of the Father: Lespri Sen an, wherewith the laws of God are written upon their heart. The Holy Spirit dwells in the new creation and leads and guides them according to the Word of God.

They are controlled by the Holy Spirit and obey the Word of God. Kòm yon rezilta, they shall live holy and walk righteous in the will of God and honor and glorify the Father and Jesus Christ.

Pèsekisyon pitit Bondye yo

Men, menm jan lè sa a, moun ki te fèt dapre kò a te pèsekite moun ki te fèt dapre Lespri Bondye a, menm si sa ye kounye a (Galat 4:29)

Ak sa toujou rive jodi a. Pitit monn sa a, k ap viv nan peche ak nan mechanste, hate and pèsekite Pitit Bondye yo, who walk after the Spirit and obey God’s Word.

Nou wè yon ogmantasyon nan inikite ak peche, jis tankou nan la jou Noye. We see an increase in hate towards God, Jezi Kri, ak Sentespri a, Who dwells in the children of God, ogmante tou.

Patizan nan mond lan

As long as you believe and accept the wisdom and knowledge of the world and follow the world and think like the world, talk as the world, and act like the world, you have nothing to worry about, tout bagay anfòm.

As long as you bow before the spirits of this world and be a partaker of their works, nou p'ap pèsekite nou, men ou pral aksepte pa mond lan.

Disip Jezikri

But as soon as you take a stand on the Word of God and give them an undesired answer or don’t approve of their works (peche yo ak inikite yo), and don’t walk and talk the way they walk and talk, you experience persecution.

Bib vèsè 1 Jan 2:15 pa renmen lemonn ni bagay ki sou latè si yon moun renmen lemonn renmen papa a pa nan li.

Si ou pran pozisyon nan Jezikri; the Word and obey Him and keep kòmandman l yo and do His will and represent His Kingdom, Lè sa a, moun ki bò kote w yo pral pèsekite w, ki gen lespri monn sa a; lespri antikristyanism lan (dyab la).

That’s the price you have to pay if you want to follow Jesus.

When you become a slave of Jesus Christ, ou vin yon lènmi nan mond sa a.

Nou ap viv nan yon laj, where too many Christians water down the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Olye pou yo fè Bondye plezi ak pran pozisyon yo nan Jezikri; Pawòl la, yo fè mond lan plezi e yo fè moun plezi, paske yo vle yo renmen, aksepte, ak onore pa moun.

The Christians that do take a stand on the Word of God, epi suiv Pawòl la, olye pou yo mond lan yo konsidere kòm twò strik, relijye, rijid, ansyen alamòd, elatriye. While they are the ones, ki ap viv nan true freedom in Jesus Christ.

They walk after the Spirit as slaves of righteousness, instead of walking after the flesh as slaves of sin. They are no longer bound by the law and live under the judgment of God, but they are delivered and live in the liberty of the Spirit.

Mache nan pwomès la kòm yon pitit Bondye

Walking in the promise as a son of God means walking by faith in Jesus Christ; Pawòl la. Si ou mache pa lafwa, you will be obedient to the (antye) Pawòl Bondye. Sèlman atravè Pawòl Bondye a, ou pral fè konnen li, epi fè konnen Volonte li.

‘Being obedient to the Word’ doesn’t mean going back to the Old Covenant to the sacrificial laws, lwa manje, the feasts, elatriye. yo nan lòd yo dwe sove oswa rete sove. Because we are only saved by Jesus’ travay redanmsyon ak san li.

Nou ap viv nan Nouvo Alyans la atravè Jezikri. Nan li, we have become a new creation (fèt nan dlo a ak Lespri Bondye a).

Men volonte Bondye; what pleases Him and what doesn’t please Him, gen pa chanje, ni li pap janm chanje. Paske Bondye se menm bagay la tou, Yè, Jodi a, ak pou tout tan.

Se poutèt sa, it is important to get to know Him and His will, atravè Pawòl Li a, epi renouvle lide ou ak Pawòl Bondye a, so that your mind lines up with Him.

Si ou reyèlman renmen Bondye ak tout kè w, nanm, lespri, ak fòs, w ap kapab rete obeyisan ak Bondye epi respekte kòmandman l yo.

You have a free will

Men, w ap toujou gen yon volonte gratis, even after you become born again. Osi lontan ke ou mache dèyè Lespri Bondye a, ou p ap akonpli lanvi ak dezi kò a epi ou pa pral fè peche epi ou p ap fè eksperyans kondanasyon..

Men, pli vit, as you start walking after the flesh and listen to your flesh instead of the Word (Jezi Kri) ak Sentespri a, epi chwazi fè volonte ou, epi se pou kondui pa dezi chanèl ou, dezi, panse, antiman, emosyon yo, elatriye., epi mache nan dezobeyisans nan Pawòl Bondye a, nan peche, Lè sa a, ou pral tounen yon esklav dyab la ankò.

Ou pral kontwole pa pouvwa fènwa yo epi yo pa pral gratis ankò. Men, dyab la ap maltrete w e w ap viv anba jouk esklavaj li ankò.

Renouvle lespri w ak Pawòl Bondye a

Se poutèt sa li tèlman enpòtan, lè ou vin nouvo kreyasyon an, pou renouvle lespri w ak Pawòl Bondye a. Sèlman pa renouvèlman lespri w ak Pawòl Bondye a, ou aprann konnen Jezi ak volonte l, ak atravè li, w ap aprann konnen Papa a ak volonte l.

Lè ou mete Pawòl la an pratik, ou become a doer of the Word and become like Him and talk and walk like Him.

Atravè Pawòl la ak Sentespri a, Ki moun ki Anseyan ou nan Pawòl la, N'a fè konnen byen ak sa ki mal.

Lè w rete nan Pawòl la, you shall reign over the enemy; dyab la, ak tout lame li a. Men, le pli vit ke ou kite Pawòl la epi kòmanse mache apre kò a, ak apre konesans nan ansyen lespri chèn ou; konesans nan mond sa a, Lènmi an pral fè nou prizonye ankò, l'ap gouvènen nou. (Li tou: Ki jan yo mache nan dominasyon Bondye ba ou a?).
