GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the WILL of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:1

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The knowing that GOD IS FAITHFUL and we need to live FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD Him, is a gracious and graceful place and position to be in Christ Jesus stead; but that’s not complimentary enough until we actualised our life, by being FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD men. THERE’S THE NEED TODAY TO LIVE FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN; more so, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.

It does mean, that we can’t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL life’s toward those who OVERSEES our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. It is a dangerous place to take when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you know that you’ve inclined your spiritual mentorship in leadership toward, irrespective of any circumstance.

Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks FREEDOM in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries and precautionary measures. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25), as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE thyself in the HOUSE of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the TRUTH” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men in respect [Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9]. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6].

He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God’s heritage, in order to present them perfect – complete, whole – as one that’s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel [Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24].

However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of – RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God’s heritage and precious people for their spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men without sentiment, prejudice, dissimulation and irrespective.

Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:

** Tychicus – (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellow servant in the Lord) – Colossians 4:7-8; Ephesians 6:21-22.

** Onesimus – (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) – Colossians 4:9.

** Epaphras – (A Dear Fellowservant and FAITHFUL Minister) – Colossians 1:7.

** Timotheus – (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) – 1 Corinthians 4:17.

** Lydia – (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord) Acts 16:14-16.

** Silvanus – (A FAITHFUL Brother) – 1 Peter 5:12.

There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as Ephesians 1:1 will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus. The essence of these mentioned, is to indicate that our being FAITHFUL is not only TOWARD God, but also TOWARD men – especially those who are place of God to OVERSEE your spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. They have a responsibility and accountability in principle to ensure they bestow and commit Kingdom Ministerial work only to the FAITHFUL Brethren – 2 Timothy 2:1-3; for not all in the house of God have FAITH or rather are endeavouring to live FAITHFUL to the CAUSE of God and toward men – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Obey them that have the RULE over you, and SUBMIT yourselves: for they WATCH for your souls, as they that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” Hebrews 13:17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” 1 Corinthians 4:1-3.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS PRACTICABLE AND APPLICABLE!

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

God is FAITHFUL! And He’s not just FAITHFUL in His NATURE, but requires every of His children that will do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, to be FAITHFUL in everyway in the cause of time as He is – AN EVER PRESENT TENSE IN HIS FAITHFULNESS. If this is not possible in His grace, He will not require it of us in His enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as also in these but not limited Holy writs:

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE is FAITHFUL that PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

May I also say that in life, some are set to LEAD in a CAUSE while some are set to ASSIST – that is, to HELP/SUPPORT the person assigned to LEAD in order to THRIVE and ACHIEVE the together, the common and mutual goal. Meaning, while some are EMPLOYERS (Leaders), some others are EMPLOYEES (Helpers) in such given common ground framework. Note that in the Kingdom, neither the HELPER/SUPPORT or the LEADER in such privileged and opportune CAUSE, are less a being at ALL to each other, in all the way of doing life and living godly – for it’s all a matter of individual RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of God to all. You can mirror it in the CAUSES of doing life in any of THESE:

** Family Life

** Marriage

** Business

** Enterprise

** Government and Governance

** Gospel Ministry

** Community or Private Organisation

** Social or Charitable Cause

** Local/National or International Obligations

** . . . and many such like . . .

And in each applicable and application of life and godly matters, God expect each one as in the wisdom of King David as in the Holy writ of 1 Samuel 30:24, to have a fair share ALIKE in the good and outcome of any or such endeavours in pursuit.

“For who will HEARKEN unto you in this matter? but AS HIS PART IS THAT GOETH DOWN TO THE BATTLE, SO SHALL HIS PART BE THAT TARRIETH BY THE STUFF: THEY SHALL PART ALIKE” 1 Samuel 30:24 (1-24).

Unfortunately, many today are oppressed, denied and marginalised of their fair rights and privileges in cause of time, even to their basic entitlement of doing life and living godly. While on the other hands, some are fighting and heating up smoke to enable them gain rights to fair share at no cost, contribution or giving a helping hand at all. These INDIFFERENCE on both sides or ends OUGHT not to be in any place where FAITHFULNESS is a requirement, and to manage the RESOURCES that pertains to all. For the EARTH is the LORD’S, the FULNESS thereof, the world and all who DWELL therein. And Believer’s in Christ Jesus are all CALLED to share in the INHERITANCE of God in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, knowing that the EARTH is the lord’s and all the resources in used, and FAITHFULNESS is required to be a STEWARD of His grace and BLESSEDNESS, it’s NEEDFUL for me to show some APPLICABLE areas in this light, however not limited on the need to be FAITHFUL as in THESE:

  1. Be A FAITHFUL Employee – Whatever position you hold, God requires you to be FAITHFUL. Matthew 24:45-51; Ephesians 6:5-8; 1 Peter 2:18-20; Colossians 3:22-25.
  2. Be A FAITHFUL Employer – Look WELL after your staff in whatever the business/Enterprise. Ephesians 6:6-9; Colossians 4:1; Proverbs 11:24-26; Deuteronomy 10:17-18; Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11.
  3. Be FAITHFUL In Any Relationships -This is a vital ingredient in enhancing a healthy society. Luke 16:1-13; 1 Peter 3:1-12; Ephesians 4:1-4; 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.
  4. Being FAITHFUL In The Kingdom Business – As a Gospel Minister, Pastor, Ministry Worker in Leadership or not etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is not negotiable and it’s a basic prerequisite to achieving desired Kingdom causes with God in Christ Jesus stead. Luke 1:49; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; Proverbs 27:23; John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7; Hebrews 3:2, 5).
  5. Being FAITHFUL In Marital Relationship – In Marriage one cannot afford to be UNFAITHFUL and achieve with God. 1 Timothy 3:11; Proverbs 31:10; Proverbs 20:6; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12; 1 Corinthians 7:1-7; Hebrews 13:1-6.
  6. Being FAITHFUL In Parenting – Faithfulness is also vital requirements of God in a parent/child relationship. Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21; Proverbs 22:6.
  7. Being FAITHFUL in Friendship – Faithfulness in friendships is NEEDFUL in our daily life support. Not necessarily when in trouble times only, but in good times to ascertain STRENGHT in our relationship in course of time. Proverbs 27:6, 10; Proverbs 17:17; Proverbs 18:24.

May I say again that there are many other applicable ways in the light of the Holy Scriptures wherein FAITHFULNESS and being FAITHFUL is required of you – do search the Scriptures.

I plead to you in Jesus Christ stead to do life and live godly by being FAITHFUL; for our stewardship as expected to be trustworthy custodian of God’s resources on EARTH in the utilisation, will be question and challenge one day, based on FAITHFULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And WHATSOEVER ye do in WORD or DEED, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him” Colossians 3:17.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is UNJUST in the least is UNJUST also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will commit to your TRUST the TRUE riches? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall GIVE you that which is your own? 13 No SERVANT can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL) to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS?” Luke 1:49

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“For who will HEARKEN unto you in this matter? but AS HIS PART IS THAT GOETH DOWN TO THE BATTLE, SO SHALL HIS PART BE THAT TARRIETH BY THE STUFF: THEY SHALL PART ALIKE” 1 Samuel 30:24 (1-24).

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE: IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO ARISE AND BE ON GOD’S KINGDOM CAUSE!

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE” Job 5:12.

The lawful captives shall be FREE from evil and from the evil one. The ENTERPRISE of the evil one must be brought down to end it’s evil and wickedness everywhere – in high and low places. And God has promised as part of His WILL, to DELIVER the righteous from the bondage of the evil and wicked that’s at work to do EVIL and WICKEDNESS in the world’s about us. Deliverance and wholeness is possible with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“Shall the PREY be TAKEN from the MIGHTY, Or the CAPTIVES of the RIGHTEOUS be DELIVERED? 25 But thus says the Lord: “Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN away, And the PREY of the TERRIBLE be  DELIVERED; For I will CONTEND with him who CONTENDS with you, And I will save your children. 26 I will FEED those who OPPRESS you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

And it’s not by human power, not by human might but by God’s Spirit in and through His Church in Christ Jesus stead. This is possible, simply because we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the the higher places; more so, the weapons of our warfare are not man made and crafted – meaning, it’s not limited by geographical location; and it’s efficiency is unparalleled and unmatchable to it’s effect in pulling down of the strongholds of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and in the bringing down of all things under subjection and subjugation, to the OBEDIENCE of God’s word in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This is as written:

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/AMPLIFIED.

Therefore, Church ARISE from all fear phobias, awake to your place of leadership and direction of travel, in advancing the kingdom cause of our God, thereby keeping the enemy and cohort at bay.

You are the Church that God is building – not the building. And the gates of hades cannot prevail even it’s crafting, counterfeiting, adulteration and masquerading. For God is not calling us to a structural building but He is building His Church which is you to take on the forces of darkness that’s long gone defeated and crippled for us in Christ Jesus redemption deed off victory, triumph, and such like [Matthew 16:13-20; Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV, Colossians 2:14-15; Galatians 3:13-14; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:3-5; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:24].

 As we ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in God by Christ Jesus, we should be assured and emboldened to be on God’s KINGDOM CAUSE. For it’s high time for the church to arise and be on God’s kingdom cause in order to be kingdom relevant as Christ Jesus was in humanity.

“You men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED out and SHOWN forth and COMMENDED and ATTESTED to you by God by the MIGHTY WORKS and [the POWER of performing] wonders and signs which God worked through Him [right] in your midst, as you yourselves know” Acts 2:22 AMPLIFIED.

Jesus Christ in humanity, followed the Father God kingdom cause and purpose for Him intentionally and unreservedly; the Father God APPROVED and ACCREDITED Him though He was a Son – Hebrews 5:1-10. I therefore as you – Will you let God approve and accredit you as 2 Timothy 2:15 in order to be relevant to His kingdom cause and purpose?  Will you do what God requires you to do?   SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Shall the PREY be TAKEN from the MIGHTY, Or the CAPTIVES of the RIGHTEOUS be DELIVERED? 25 But thus says the Lord: “Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN away, And the PREY of the TERRIBLE be  DELIVERED; For I will CONTEND with him who CONTENDS with you, And I will save your children. 26 I will FEED those who OPPRESS you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE. 13 He taketh the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG. 14 They meet with DARKNESS in the DAYTIME, and GROPE in the NOONDAY as in the NIGHT. 15 But he SAVETH the poor from the SWORD, from their MOUTH, and from the HAND of the MIGHTY. 16 So the POOR hath HOPE, and iniquity STOPPETH her mouth” Job 5:12-16.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 7 Who art THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME a PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:6–7.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our ENEMIES, and from the hand of all that HATE us; 72 to PERFORM the mercy PROMISED to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the OATH which he SWARE to our father Abraham, 74 that he would GRANT unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the HAND of our ENEMIES might SERVE him without FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL the DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye are all the CHILDREN of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are all ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand AGAINST the WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, against powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having DONE ALL, to STAND. 14 STAND therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET shod with the PREPARATION of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and the SWORD of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all PERSEVERANCE and SUPPLICATION for all saints” Ephesians 6:10-18.

“Behold, they shall SURELY gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together AGAINST thee shall FALL for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have created the smith that BLOWETH the COALS in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have CREATED the WASTER to DESTROY. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall RISE against thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the CHARGE of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that DIED, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the RIGHT HAND of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being through God’s WORD, in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So what makes the CHRISTIAN in his or her CHRISTIAN FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, and of the graciousness and gracefulness to life and living, is the Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“And how I kept BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21].

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord,  SEARCHING all the INWARD parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27.

“And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ASK him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED with power from on high” Luke 24:49.

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:5, 8.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A FAITHFUL MAN SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“What is my REWARD then? Verily that, when I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ABUSE not my POWER IN THE GOSPEL. 19 For though I be FREE FROM ALL MEN, yet have I made myself SERVANT unto all, that I might GAIN the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might GAIN the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might GAIN them that are under the law; 21 to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might GAIN them that are without law” 1 Corinthians 9:18-21.

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is least is FAITHFUL also in much: and he that is UNJUST in the least is UNJUST also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

FAITHFUL SAYING – ABOUT FACT AND TRUTH

By Leave a Comment

FAITHFUL SAYING – ABOUT FACT AND TRUTH: THE OVERRIDING OF – “THE FACTS OF LIFE ABOUT YOU” WITH “THE TRUTH OF LIFE ABOUT YOU”!

“It is a FAITHFUL saying: For if we be DEAD with him, we shall also LIVE with him: 12 if we SUFFER, we shall also REIGN with him: if we DENY him, he also will DENY us: 13 if we BELIEVE NOT, yet he ABIDETH FAITHFUL: He CANNOT DENY Himself” 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

As important as FACTS are, in our way of DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, what can sets one’s life THRIVING, BLOSSOMING REFRESHING and REJUVENATING in an onward and upward trajectory, is THE TRUTH that one possess in one’s life in Christ Jesus stead. THE TRUTH gives the enabling that one needs, in order to have a complete and an unreserved freedom and placement in life in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

There is a great difference between FACT and the TRUTH in our way of doing LIFE and  living GODLY. The Difference in matters of the FACTS and the TRUTH principles can be summed up in these few construction but not at all limited:

** FACTS can say you will die, while THE TRUTH says you will live.

** FACTS can say you will fail, while THE TRUTH says you will thrive and succeed.

** FACTS can say you are not good enough, THE TRUTH says you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you.

** FACTS can say you are hopeless and a complete failure with all the available proofs beyond human understanding, while THE TRUTH says, you can and will succeed because with God “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURNED INSIDE OUT”

It’s very important for one to know full well, that in all matters of doing Life and living godly, life is so simple and simplified by God, and not complex and compounded, as we sometimes do think and have made it be. I hereby employ you to consider the following KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING:

*** That Jesus is THE TRUTH. And knowing and having THE TRUTH is knowing and having life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. John 14:6; John 8:32; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

*** That God’s ‘FAITHFUL SAYINGS’ to one in the Holy Scriptures makes ALL the difference in one’s matters of doing life and living godly. And that God’s FAITHFUL SAYING transcends and surpasses, informs and transforms, defines and places one beyond human FACTS and FIGURES – Acts 20:32; Hebrews 4:12-13; John 1:1-5, 14.

Knowing the above concept therefore, I admonish you to give ATTENTION and INCLINE your hearing ears to God’s FAITHFUL SAYINGS about you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; this is in order to envelope the wisdom nuggets that is needed to both LIVE, TRIUMPH, OVERCOME, be VICTORIOUS and a MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in every place in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Corinthians 2:14 and 1 Corinthians 15:57, Romans 8:37 and 1 John 5:3-5.

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily EXERCISE profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptation” 1 Timothy 4:7-9.

“For the EARTH shall be FILLED with the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea” Habakkuk 2:14.

Never give up, faint, be weary or loose hearts; but be consistent in faithfulness through patience of hope, work of faith and labour of love, as you wait patiently upon God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS to come to pass in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Luke 18:1-18; Philippians 4:6-8; 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

MY MEDITATION SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY!

MY MEDITATION SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY!

You can join me and get an inspiring, revealing, and empowering enabling in the grace. For KNOWLEDGE delivers, emancipates, and gives direction. [Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15].

Be SCRIPTURALLY INFORMED in order to be FREE in God’s given freedom that’s in Christ Jesus [Galatians 5:1/Amplified], from the misinformation and disinformation bondages that flies around 24/7 with the intent to distort, adulterate, counterfeit, dilute and pollute the TRUTH. And unfortunately, the TRUTH will ALWAYS resurrects to give the default freedom, no matter the force of human grand fights against it today or tomorrow [John 8:30-32; John 14:6].

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION:

Psalms 119:96-105, 130/Amplified.

“I have seen that all [human] perfection has its limits [no matter how grand and perfect and noble]; Your commandment is exceedingly broad and extends without limits [into eternity].

97 Oh, how I LOVE Your law! It is my MEDITATION all the day.

98 Your commandments make me WISER than my enemies, For Your WORDS are always with me.

99 I have better UNDERSTANDING and deeper insight than all my teachers [because of Your word], For Your testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the aged [who have not observed Your precepts], Because I have observed and kept Your precepts.

101 I have restrained my feet from every evil way, That I may keep Your word.

102 I have not turned aside from Your ordinances, For You Yourself have taught me.

103 How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 From Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way.

105 Your word is a LAMP to my feet And a LIGHT to my path.

130 The unfolding of Your [glorious] words give light; Their unfolding gives understanding to the simple (childlike).”

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics.

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dare. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges to toward being FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]

Our God is FAITHFUL God, that is His NATURE. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
  8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment [QUESTIONING, CHALLENGES]: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.

“Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the SHEEP of his pasture” Psalms 100:3.

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples MADE with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and hath MADE of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his OFFSPRING. 29 Forasmuch then as we ARE the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” Acts 17:24-29.

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he CALLED them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN” John 10:34-35.

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6.

“For God doth KNOW that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be OPENED, and ye shall BE as gods, KNOWING good and evil” Genesis 3:5.
