THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION by Dr. Emma C. Innocent

THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION

What you resist persist - Carl G. Jung.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you - Bible
How you resist, persist or decease - Emma C. Innocent.

UNDERSTANDING THIS LAW will save you from fruitless efforts to overcome a bad habit. Understand that MATTER can be created but cannot be destroyed! Once an habit or person or a thing is created, you cannot absolutely destroy it. The only way to destroy it is to replace it.
I had a weakness for donkey years. I did all i knew. i fasted, cried, was laid hands, prophecy, re-baptised etc. I confessed my sins consistently...yet that hold of weakness couldn't break.YOU SEE...ALL MY WORKS TO BE FREE WAS JUST EMPOWERING THE WEAKNESS IN ME. Paul cried three times to rid his infirmity but later he got the secret. what was it? THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION. He said, I GLORY IN MY INFIRMITY. How can you do that? Just rest on his righteousness. Declare that you are as righteous as Jesus is and remove your mind on that bad habit or problem.
If you resist sin with your emotions, it will persist and you will keep entering into it's trap. You give power to a thing that you give attention to. Resist by Substitution method and not by Elimination method. THAT IS THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION.

IS YOUR SPIRITUAL FATHER, DEAD?

A spiritual father is a person who through him or her, you come to the faith in Christ. Also, he or she is the person you willingly submit to help make your walk with God smoother, better, faster and greater (Eph. 6:1). 

IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE MORE INSIGHT AND "RESULTS" THAN YOUR SPIRITUAL LEADER.

Just as it is possible to be more knowledgeable and blessed than your physical parent, so is it in spiritual things. A spiritual father is a protector/coverer (not the protector, cos this is the job of the HolySpirit), a guidian, an advisor, your intercessor, your 1st supporter and a counselor. 

Most of the time we agree that our pastor in church is invariably your spiritual father. YES, this is true but not in all cases. For instance, if an evangelist got you bornagain through the HolySpirit and you worship under a pastor, biblically, that Evangelist is your spiritual father while your pastor is your mentor/instructor. In another sense, like our physical parent that you cannot change, you can have a foster father over your life. Your pastor can become your 'foster' father because he plays the fatherly role to you more than the Evangelist that gave birth to you in Christ. 

Also, in church settings, your senior pastor(I.e General Overseer) automatically becomes your spiritual father in that denomination, thou not your direct spiritual father. For example, Bishop Francis Wale Oke is my 'foster' father because he ordained me into the ministry. W.F Kumuyi is my spiritual father because I got born again in a deeper life crusade . I worship with Covenant Christian Centre where Pst Poju Oyemade is the senior pastor (as my mentor). So you see.

In the case of the corinthians church, bro Appollos and Peter were feeding the flocks won by Paul. Paul couldn't train them cos he was in prison but his fellow ministers (not sons in faith like Timothy) were feeding and watering his plant. This brought a confusion to the baby corinthians church dividing the church into three. Finally, Paul addressed the situation, it is neither I nor Peter/Appollos that matters but God. Yet Paul clarified the air, I gave birth to you, therefore, am your spiritual father while the rest are instructors. Therefore, it is possible to be in church with a senior pastor as your instructor yet a missionary is your spiritual father. 

Finally, to the crux of the matter, IS YOUR SPIRITUAL FATHER DEAD? By dead I mean, two things. Spiritually and Physically dead.

Spiritually dead father is when you have a father that has gone astray from the faith in Christ. This is not talking about making a character error or mistakes or his or her idiosyncrasies. This is outright departing from the faith e.g. A demonic pastor. If that spiritual father has join hands with the devil, he or she CEASES TO BE your spiritual father. Light and darkness cannot dwell together. Don't get it twisted. (Col.1:13).

Characteristics of a Dead Spiritual Father:

1. He or she is using satanic powers to operate.(John 1:5)

2. He or she is out of touch with revelation of Christ.

3. He or she has opened consistent canal attitude that refuses to change.(1 Tim.3:7)

4. He or she is consistently a divorcee.(1 Tim.3:2b)

5. He or she claims the operation of the Spirit to himself (glorified pride).

6. He or she is king of kings and lord of lords over the church he or she pastors.(1 Pet.5:3)

7. He or she celebrate form of godliness but no passion for the power of God.(2 Tim.3:5)

8. He or she does 'buying and selling' of the anointing as a lifestyle.(Matt. 21:13)

9. He or she celebrate and blends with worldly musicians and artists.(2 For. 6:18)

10. He or she has turn the church or ministry to a party club where anything goes.

IS YOUR SPIRITUAL FATHER, DEAD? If physically dead, it is OK to still refer him or her as your father cos in Christ, we are alive forevermore. God is the God of the living, not the dead. However, it is very important to have a mentor you give some submission to. No matter how high you are, if you don't have someone or a group of persons you submit to, you may crash. If you doubt me, read about Prophet Elisha, King Josiah, Kathryn Kuhlman and John Darwin.

I hope this blessed you?

Yours in kingdom Service,
