CHOOSE TO ENVISION YOUR TURNAROUND

CHOOSE TO ENVISION YOUR TURNAROUND: YOUR CHOICE IS WHAT’S DEFINING AND MAKING YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW!

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will GIVE unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and WHATSOEVER thou shalt BIND (ALLOWED, PERMITTED)  on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (DISALLOWED, UNPERMITTED) on earth shall be loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19/Emphasis Mine.

God MADE – THE RICH and MADE – THE POOR person, but it’s not God that MADE THEM SO – to be RICH or POOR. People BECOME what they ARE and not who they ARE by the CHOICES they MADE and are MAKING, or they ALLOWED to be MADE for them; or had been MADE long before they came to the SHORE of life and grace and they’re RESOLVED to follow suit in the context and concept that it RUNS in their family or in their DNA or it’s the ACCEPTABLE plot in life to BECOME irrespective.

Suppose for example you chose to be corrupt or to elect a corrupt official, leader or government to be in governance, board of trustees of a business, company, entrepreneur and in public or private places of doing life including the CHURCH per se. In that case, you will LIVE by the CONSEQUENCES of it. This is not who you ARE but what you ALLOWED and PERMITS, and this is of CHOICE and not the MAKINGS of God. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS; and will ALLOW (PERMIT) what you ALLOW (PERMIT) to be, in that he had created man, placed him on the EARTH with a WILL, which is the POWER of CHOICE to DEFINE the ATMOSPHERE the man wants to see and embrace. [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-6; Matthew 18:16-19; Psalms 115:16].

Therefore choose wisely today and always, by ENVISIONING the effects of your CHOICES in LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

I do PRAY you SELAH – PAUSE and THINK in making your CHOICES that defines and makes you instead of blaming others or God with transfer aggression.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“The Lord MAKETH POOR, and MAKETH RICH: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. 8 He RAISETH up THE POOR out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and he hath set the world upon them. 9 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed” (1 Samuel 2:7-10).

“The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high, 6 who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7 He RAISETH UP THE POOR OUT OF THE DUST, AND LIFTETH THE NEEDY OUT OF THE DUNGHILL; 8 that he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people. 9 He maketh the barren woman to keep house,

and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord” Psalms 113:4-9.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, ASK ME OF THINGS to come CONCERNING MY SONS, and CONCERNING THE WORK OF MY HANDS command ye me. 12 I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: BUT THE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN” Psalms 115:16.

“WHAT IS MAN, THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM? and THE SON OF MAN, THAT THOU VISITEST HIM? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS of THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER his feet” Psalms 8:4-6.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and WHATSOEVER thou shalt BIND (ALLOWED, PERMITTED)  on earth shall be BOUND in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (DISALLOWED, UNPERMITTED) on earth shall be loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19 (Emphasis Mine).

ENVISION The WAGON

By Leave a Comment

ENVISION THE WAGON: WHEN YOU ENVISION THE WAGON – YOU WILL BE REVIVED AS JACOB!

“And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,  26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and HE IS GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT.  27 And they TOLD him all the WORDS of Joseph, which he had said unto them: AND WHEN HE SAW THE WAGONS which Joseph had sent to carry him, the SPIRIT of Jacob their father REVIVED:  28 and Israel said, It is ENOUGH; Joseph my son is yet ALIVE: I WILL GO AND SEE HIM BEFORE I DIE” Genesis 45:25-28.

There’s no one who despises any HEALTHY OPPORTUNITY to RISE above the NORM. I am yet to find one. Let me know where I am wrong, I’ll humbly submit to corrections if you’ve known or found one. Not even the DEVILS will refuse such opportunities to BELIEVE as the scripture indicates that he does even BELIEVE too as written:

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also BELIEVE, and tremble” James 2:19.

When Jacob was told and pressured of the need to travel down to Egypt and see Joseph his once acclaimed dead son by his other children, he doubted their news. For, the being that Joseph was yet ALIVE after years of being told he’s dead, that beat his imagination and comprehension; and since he couldn’t have IMAGINE and ENVISION it real, he couldn’t BELIEVED them; especially when there’s already a supposedly shown living fact proof to him by his other children, that he was dead. This thus indicate, that sometimes in life, a mere shown fact proof you think you have seen and made to know, may be a mere FACT only, and does not necessarily present the TRUTH in whatsoever to believe on and to rely upon – immediately and permanently. And if it was this days, they could have been a funeral certificate given to ascertain Joseph absence, in the family records as one being dead. This can explain what most dear parents and family members who lost a child or loved ones and couldn’t have their body to lay to rest in grace are going through – silently in most cases. For such scenarios, it hurts and hunts them daily – especially for such absence over the years as I have come to meet few in such circumstances – in the cause of my Ministerial assignments in life and grace.

However, and when Jacob SAW the WAGON with the GOODNESS, ABUNDANCE and GOODIES accompanying the statement and request of Joseph through his other cowardice children on the errands, Jacob’s WEAKENED spirit-being, was REVIVED – that is to say – CAME ALIVE from the UNBELIEVING state of being to a BELIEVING state of being.

If you can give room to ENVISION God’s plan, Purpose, Pursuit for your life, with the needed WAGON and ASSOCIATES to keep your faith and total being ALIVE, won’t you come along to take the opportunity’s? And, can you even see that the needed grace of God’s BLESSEDNESS wherein you stand in faith on Christ Jesus stead is always set to be activated with ease on your behalf? This I know and understands very well, hence, I am emboldened to share with you likewise. In fact, your act of PRAYER life and FAITH life, will change for good and the best if you can ENVISION – and I can say that to you emphatically and unreservedly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WAGONS and GOODIES that Jacob SAW REVIVED [QUICKENED] him, to keep him alive and to make him take the next step or leap of faith to see his supposedly lost son Joseph and to live for MORE years instead of hoping for death where there’s an opportunity to live. There’s a far better place to be in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead – it’s far better to be with Jacob reviving WAGONS and GOODIES position, than to stay still in poverty and lack, shouting “I RECEIVE”, I RECEIVE”, “I RECEIVE”  . . . for nothing, due to a no act to see or envision the need to become well and whole again – as SCRIPTURALLY given in God’s willed inheritance for you and all believing one’s, in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The Scripture of Ephesians 1:3 did say God has BLESSED us, meaning empowered is to succeed in His grace in Christ Jesus. More so, in 2 Peter 1:1-4, He has GIVEN us all things that pertains to ensuring this life doings and godliness [godly living], in Christ Jesus. Amen. However, this enabling of God, comes through knowledge and acknowledgement [envisioning], in order to bring it to fruition – reality, and to make it tangible in the grace. [Philemon 1:6.]. Therefore, it’s within us to envision God’s promised WORD in every context as it affects our life challenges, for it’s as we study the scriptures to know them, that’s when we are able to enact and authenticate them to reality in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In this context, I don’t mean having a day DREAMING imaginations, but by ENVISIONING by the knowledge of WORD as it affects any context of question in our being. Joseph had a VISION of a gracious and graceful life years before it happens. And the Father Jacob who recalled of his son dream (envisioned) years before and by what he later SAW – the WAGONS – is enough to give him a clarity and clearer insights and foresights – by what his son Joseph sent along; the sent WAGON helps him ENVISION the reality of a possible Joseph as told him by the children; and the affirmation to the ENVISIONED dream that Joseph shared to him and family years ago.

I PRAY that your insights and foresights of a possible today and tomorrow might be ENVISIONED in your cause of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“. . . 5 And Joseph DREAMED (ENVISIONED) a DREAM (VISION), and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this DREAM which I have DREAMED: 7 for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? 11 And his brethren envied him; but his father observed the saying . . .” Genesis 37:1-36.

“. . .  16 Moreover he CALLED for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. 17 He SENT a man before them, even JOSEPH, who was SOLD for a servant: 18 whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 UNTIL THE TIME THAT HIS WORD CAME: THE WORD OF THE LORD TRIED HIM. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He MADE him LORD of his house, and RULER of all his substance: 22 to BIND his princes at his pleasure; and TEACH his senators wisdom. 23 Israel also CAME into Egypt; and Jacob SOJOURNED in the land of Ham. 24 And he INCREASED his people greatly; and MADE them STRONGER than their enemies. 25 He TURNED their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants” Psalms 105:1-45.

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST: THEN WORK AND WALK AT IT – IT’S GOD’S EXPECTATIONS FROM YOU – BY BEING FAITHFUL!

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and HAST REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN ON THE EARTH” Revelation 5:9-10.

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP the limited mentality of EXISTING and START the enacting the redemption act of LIVING.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION [THE CHURCH]: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING [VOLUNTEER] in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3/Emphasis Mine. [Hebrews 12:22-24].

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION to live by the WORD but by a mere anticipated vision seeing or daydreaming or presume imagination, then life will be in a mere existence and not a living worth, as you may expect or intend to see.

Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is, RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the result of SICKNESS, POVERTY, and SPIRITUAL DEATH; and is the redemption that gives the right to LIVE and to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you are in a state of mere EXISTENCE and not LIVING, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you LIVE and reign in life.

Whatever you do as a profession/career, be FAITHFUL and the BEST in life and grace. Are you a Manson/Bricklayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sort and such like – be the BEST? Whatever your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresight – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 [Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29].

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centred and self gains. And if do you envision to be the best, then work and walk at it – it’s God’s expectations from you – by being FAITHFUL as He’s FAITHFUL in every way in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

“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.

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

“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?” Luke 16:10-12.

It’s not in the good of the Christian FAITH that any should think that they can acclaimed to a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example if one say, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES –  to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that they are many people struggling in the Faith in spite of all gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS [GODLY LIVING] in the kingdom and in the grace upon which our faith stands in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:5-6]; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – [1 Corinthians 4:1-2; Luke 16:10-12].

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it. Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY.

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the good and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God.

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.

MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”

By Leave a Comment

MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – TO ENSURE OUR MORE THAN CONQUERORS POSITION OF GRACE!

It’s Month November 2024, and month to kickstart conquering by LOVE: THE CONQUEST, the enabling to help us to ensure all things becomes possible in grace, as we do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead; and this becomes inevitable when you “. . . KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS . . .” [Ephesians 3:17-19]; and it’s for you to know more so and full well, that it’s only by the act of LOVE: The CONQUEST, that you can actualised the more than conquerors position of grace in our redemption, in all of life battles in the kingdom; hence I sincerely in grace, WELCOMED you to MONTH NOVEMBER 2024, the month of conquering and ensuring you are more than conquerors through God’s kind of love, as entitled: “LOVE: THE CONQUEST!” and as written:

“Who shall ever separate us from the LOVE of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 Just as it is written and forever remains written, “For Your sake we are put to death all day long; We are regarded as sheep for the slaughter.” 37 Yet in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]. 38 For I am convinced [and continue to be convinced—beyond any doubt] that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present and threatening, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the [unlimited] LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39/Amplified.

The term CONQUEST is a noun and thus denotes the act of conquering, acquiring or gaining control – which results means: to takeover, gain acquisition, have an invasion and such like into another territory which could be human or things.  And could also mean attaining success by mastering something difficult. And conquering makes one then to become a CONQUEROR. Conquest implies and connotes also a successful act to takeover or have domination in any sphere of doing life and living godly in the grace; thus indicates that CONQUEST refers to the act of gaining control over a territory, people, or resources as may be applicable.

And for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead, we know that we are constantly engaging and contending in a SPIRITUAL AND FLESHY WARFARE [1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Corinthians 10:3-6; Galatians 5:16-25] in our sphere of ensuring to do life and live godly in the grace. And each elements of these battle’s, either in the flesh or spiritual, is about keeping to the status quo in the FIGHT OF OUR FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:12]. For the enemy and cohorts knows very well that if it can and able to break through our faith toward God in Christ Jesus, the rest about us will be neutralise with ease and defenceless. That’s why you can’t compromise your faith no matter what may. And our faith is inoperative, inactive and dysfunctional without love. For love is the lubricant upon which faith essence are made possible. [Galatians 5:6]. The enemy of faith is fear – and when love is your vehicle of CONQUEST, fear is dissimilated and vanquished, giving room for the good fight of faith that makes one a more than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 John 4:17-18].

While indicating “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, it’s for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to use the vehicle of love to conquer their life battles and challenges and circumstances – especially in every matters of sense knowledge, which indicates the matters of the flesh – by what you see, hear, feel [touch], taste and smell that tends to ruin us as individuals, in family, in society, in the world and from being as a decent human being to others through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [2 Corinthians 5:7].

Being able to exercise and enact the act of the conquest in the kingdom, is only possible when we KNOW THE LOVE of God in Christ Jesus; the love that surpasses, transcends, and supercedes the human sense knowledge to make us a more than conquerors. [Ephesians 3:17-19; Romans 8:35-39].

For Love is a two-edged sword; and God is love:

* And one-sided act of the love depicts – The Father God of Love, who sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ into the world for the cause to seek and to save us all from the sin bondage that we are held down by the enemy to do naturally, without being remorseful. And God in His love, by so doing, was and is using the act of love to sets us free in His Son Jesus Christ, who eventually fulfilled that cause of love to redeem us to Father God in himself and therein we find peace and tranquillity in our inner self. [John 3:16-18; Hebrews 4:12-13; Luke 19:10 (John 18:37; 1 John 3:8)].

* The second-sided act of God’s love which is unfortunate, is that some will go to condemnation [damnation] and also struggle in life by the act of the enemy and cohorts of our faith in Christ Jesus, for their rejection of the love that God gives to us all, as an opportunity for freedom from the enemy and cohorts and to conquer all battle in life, in His grace, by faith in love. There’s therefore the need to know that in the matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus and in the kingdom, that conquering is only through – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST!” as Father God expressed in Christ Jesus [John 3:16-18; John 5:28-30; Romans 13:1-2; 2 Peter 2:1-10].

When the spirit of conquest through love take holds of us in Christ, that’s when the mantle and essence of being a more than conqueror becomes a reality in Christ Jesus. Then we can be emboldened not to fear but to stand tall in the faith, our shoulders high, our head up and on the high heels of the faith that gives the victory and makes us overcomers. [Romans 8:37 (32-39); 1 John 4:16-18; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 John 5:3-5].

And when we make God’s love our conquest tool in the fight of faith, our purpose of God in Christ Jesus stead is enacted, and God in His grace, will then reveal and unveil the mystery of His will that’s particular to you unhindered [Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:19-12; 1 Corinthians 2:8-10].

God’s kind of love is the conquest to deal with hatred, unforgiven spirit, resentfulness, bitterness, wrath, rancour and such like, if you want to both hear [listen] and answer your PRAYERS [Psalms 65:2; Mark 11:24-26; Romans 12:9-21; 1 Corinthians 13; Psalms 65:2; Matthews 6:38-48].

So, in this month November, as  God helps me to unveils the mystery of love in our dealings of life matters – in relationships [Ephesians 5:21-33], in family [Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:18-21], in leadership and work spaces [Ephesians 6:5-9; Colossians 3:22-4:1], in the Ministry of the Gospel [Ephesians 4:11-16; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13], in dealing with strangers and neighbours [Luke 10:25-37]; in dealings with our so-called enemies and cohorts [Proverbs 25:21-22; Romans 12:19-21; Matthew 5:43-48], and other such like as per our relationship with God [Romans 8:28; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10] – be prepared to know that the way through to life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray that you may know the love of God in Christ Jesus stead, that’s given and bestowed upon us and to help us by the Holy Spirit of promise [Romans 5:5], to enable us do life with God and man, and to become all we ought to be in purpose and be fulfilled meaningfully in the grace ensuring – LOVE: THE CONQUEST!

Blessed regards.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“And we have known and believed the LOVE that God hath to us. God is LOVE; and he that DWELLETH IN LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: 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 4:16, 18.

“Behold, what manner of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not” 1 John 3:1.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“. . . 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 8:32-39.

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] TO KNOW [practically, through personal experience] THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH FAR SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19/Amplified.

“For [if we are] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only faith activated and expressed and working through LOVE . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were called to freedom; only do not let your freedom become an opportunity for the sinful nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:6, 13/Amplified.

“Hatred stirs up strife, But LOVE covers and overwhelms all transgressions [forgiving and overlooking another’s faults]” Proverbs 10:12/Amplified.

“Above all, have FERVENT and UNFAILING LOVE for one another, because LOVE covers a multitude of sins [it overlooks unkindness and unselfishly seeks the best for others]” 1 Peter 4:8/Amplified.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:34-35.

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE ye in my LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE in his LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

“Some, it is true, are [actually] preaching Christ out of envy and rivalry [toward me—for no better reason than a competitive spirit or misguided ambition], but others out of goodwill and a loyal spirit [toward me]. 16 The latter [preach Christ] out of LOVE, because they know that I have been put here [by God on purpose] for the defense of the gospel; 17 but the former preach Christ [insincerely] out of selfish ambition [just self-promotion], thinking that they are causing me distress in my imprisonment. 18 What then [does it matter]? So long as in every way, whether in pretense [for self-promotion] or in all honesty [to spread the truth], Christ is being preached; and in this I rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

AFD NOVEMBER EDITION

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER 2024: THE MONTH ENTITLED – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” – IN DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

You are specifically and specially WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER, it’s your Month of conquering and ensuring you are “more than conquerors” through love as it’s entitled: LOVE: THE CONQUEST! For conquering by LOVE: THE CONQUEST, makes doing life and living godly to become possible when you have come to . . . know the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus . . .  as it’s written:

“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts [human spirit] by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which passess [supercedes, transcends] knowledge [human sense], that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to take on the challenges of life from all angles using the “LOVE: THE CONQUEST” medicine to make it possible. For its only by conquering through “LOVE: The CONQUEST”, you can actualised a “more than conquerors” in redemption in all life battles as written:

“. . . 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 8:32-39

However, before exploring the Month theme – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”, as you follow along through the months writs and post that you will be seeing and reading, let’s consider the terms of Month November in essence.

The month of NOVEMBER as any other DAWN months in the Julian and Gregorian calendar year, is crucial and important in the cause of the numbering of our days under the Sun, in order to fulfil PURPOSE by God, in Christ Jesus stead – [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. And it thus re-echoes and reminds me as in other DAWN months, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in the settings being laid down below; and also, with the knowing that it’s God who makes things to be, in each passing days, weeks and months, and He is the one who crowns the year with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY by God in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“This is THE DAY [WEEK, MONTH, YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine.

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore, my acronyms to month November, can be summed in these context:

FIRSTLY, that the month NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. And it is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while in the southern half, it is the last month of spring in count.

SECONDLY, that the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing month of the year to usher in another DAWN year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of principle in diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year by the eleventh hour month; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong, stronger and strongly in the current dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousness, gracefulness and blessedness toward me in family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And THIRDLY, the Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts toward engaging with benefits of the TEAM spirit, when you consider the ELEVEN PERSONS in the making of a FOOTBALL TEAM. Thus, indicating the needs to work together in with others, in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team. This is important, irrespective of the quality of the personality of the individual player’s terms that is involved. The aim is to see the need to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual lone person with innumerable opportunity of engaging with others.

Therefore, get set to conquering all matters of life challenges to ensure and be assured through month November theme entitled – “LOVE: THE CONQUEST”.

Blessed regards!

THINK WISDOM – THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR LIVING

By Leave a Comment

THINK WISDOM – THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR LIVING: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“. . . 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

I am emboldened to inform you, that you can’t be able to ENACT and APPROPRIATE SCRIPTURALLY by God’s WISDOM what you don’t KNOW and UNDERSTAND in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore THINK WISDOM, in Christ Jesus’ stead, for He’s the WISDOM of God as He’s the POWER of God. Otherwise, it’s religion, denominational concepts and ideas, man-made beliefs, religious dogmas, and traditional creeds, leading to doctrinal mishaps and bondages, adulteration, and confusion.

Wisdom is the principal enabling of God’s grace to do life in the New Creation, otherwise, you will do life through sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, which is exhausting, tiring and weakening. The wisdom of God – gives life, empowers, it defences, gives direction, it emboldens, it illuminates and it discerns to ensures the sixth sense makes scriptural judgement. [Proverbs 4:7; Ecclesiastes 7:12; Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5].

And if any lacks wisdom, know there’s an opportunity to ask of God who gives to all generously without a shadow of doubting and disputation [James 1:5-8].

Therefore, think wisdom – the wisdom of God for living, for wisdom is the application of knowledge for your effectual and meaningful cause in the Kingdom, as you do life and live godly, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE & THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the WISDOM OF THE WISE, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM OF GOD the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God. 25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 that no flesh should glory in his presence. 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the EXCELLENCY OF KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12.

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7.

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart DISCERNETH both time and judgment” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with ENTICING WORDS OF MAN’S WISDOM, but in demonstration of the SPIRIT and of POWER: 5 that your FAITH should not STAND in the WISDOM OF MEN, but in the POWER of God. 6 Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM OF GOD in a mystery, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which MAN’S WISDOM teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST”. 1 Corinthians 2:1-16.

DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM

By Leave a Comment

DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM – DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR: SEEK THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL PARENTING AND MENTORING!

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Don’t GROW IN GRACE by ISOLATION as some do or have done. We are called to be SEPARATE but not to ISOLATE. And to being “SEPARATE” in Scriptural terms as written in 2 Corinthians 6:17 (16-18) means being SET APART for God’s good and goodness in us, and doesn’t necessarily mean being in ISOLATION from others or to grow in grace without COMMUNION or ASSOCIATION in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren as written:

“But GROW IN GRACE, and in THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18.

“And let us CONSIDER one another in order to STIR up love and good works, 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as is the MANNER of some, but EXHORTING one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

Do you have a Spiritual Parent/Mentor in the walk of grace in Christ Jesus stead? or you are just a vagabond child in the kingdom? Have you seen the need to have someone in your life that can take a stand in grace to speak the TRUTH into your life without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation? Do you have someone who will speak the TRUTH to your being even when it hurts and painful but you know it’s for your good? It’s a high time to take the need for spiritual parenting and mentoring for granted.

“. . . 8 But if you are WITHOUT chastening (GUIDANCE), of which ALL have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE (BASTARD, VAGABOND) and not sons . . .” Hebrews 12:3-11.

May I advice and say – Don’t be a headless and a no Shepherd guide Child in the Kingdom. Much more so, endeavour and ensure that you go to a Church gathering place of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP where there’s a SHEPHERD and not a HIRELING as Christ warns in John 10:1-15. For you are the Church and there’s the need to find yourself in a gathering of same like faith in Christ Jesus where the WORD of God is the center context without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy); and where one is not bounded by sectarianism and denominationalism and traditional dogmas of creeds, bye-laws, man-made and man-make beliefs.

“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 [SET APART]” Acts 20:32/Emphasis Mine.

Don’t be deter from the principle act of responsibility and accountability in the Kingdom, because you think or know that there are some TOUTS and PERVERTS operating around in the name of Ministry/Church wherein are gathering people in the name of God and His Church – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:1-24; Philippians 1:12-21, 27]; and don’t allow the errors of some to make you take for granted and play low the essence of Scriptural injunctions for yourself to gather with other same like faith as written in Ephesians 4:7-16 and Hebrews 10:24-25; know for sure, there’s an essence for the place of Shepherd in the Kingdom – to cause growth, maturity and perfection in the Body Ministry, in Christ Jesus stead as in Ephesians 4:7-16; Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 27:23-27. This is needful until He returns for His Church, that’s set to be glorious, victorious, triumphant, overcomer, more than conquerors, without spot and wrinkles and faithfully awaiting Him.

For the cause of the above reasons, Apostle Paul, dearly and passionately exhorted, admonished and gave a charged in this wise:

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN you through the GOSPEL” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Thanks to God for the workings of the Holy Spirit in all BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus stead. Yet Today, there are many SPIRITUAL PARENTLESS Christian’s around, who are busy changing churches places of worship and fellowship as they change their clothes; and in some cases they have become more of a spiritual harlots; And for this absurd behavioural act of conduct, some parts of the Churches of Christ are in many phases of decay and having overwhelming leadership problems; and some on a fall outs as Apostle Paul admonished young Timothy on how he OUGHT to BEHAVE – CONDUCT himself in house of God among others as written:

“These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am DELAYED, I write so that you may KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO CONDUCT yourself 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.

Some of these absurd behavioural act of conduct are people who can’t lead themselves in the kingdom, but now are leading people and with no appropriate counselling and guidance, and have gone further to reproduce their kinds forming the mixed multitude around, creating schisms and questions both within the body of Christ and even among the unbelieving world who we ought to give the light of God without question.

Just because you are born of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and knows some couples of scriptures and speak forth in other tongues even more than your teachers doesn’t makes you to live without spiritual parenting. You need to SEEK for one. It’s possible to have many people around you to INSTRUCT you about the ways of God both in life, family and ministry, BUT endeavour to locate your Spiritual mentor’s as FATHER’S and MOTHER’S in faith that is reachable and you will respect, honour and dignify their spiritual position in your life for guidance knowing they will not take advantage of you or make you vulnerable in the faith. Their guidance as said by Apostle Paul in the scripture above of 1 Corinthians 4:15, will enhance, establish, strengthen and impart your faith in the Lord in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH and FULFILLED in Christ.

There is the NEED for SPIRITUAL PARENTING and MENTORING in the Kingdom Gospel of Christ Jesus. I do encourage you to Pray about it and God will lead you right to such gracious and graceful spiritual parent in faith as promised in Jeremiah 3:15, who will endeavour to see you established all round in Christ Jesus stead in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

Blessed regards in life and godliness!

He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My SON, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor FAINT when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for whom the Lord LOVETH he CHASTENETH, and SCOURGETH every son whom he RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS (ILLEGITIMATE), and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in SUBJECTION unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present SEEMETH to be JOYOUS, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11/Emphasis Mine.

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

By Leave a Comment

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE!

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.

We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving to TILL YOUR LAND in grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. And to have and to ensure to be assured of God’s power to get wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish, but an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness which embodiment is for us by wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT” Proverbs 28:19-20.

For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts  available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates, that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mystery’s of God without being mystical as some do craven after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too.

And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God,  God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.

It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13]. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around it’s to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power –[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, Initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady.

Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12].

I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE BLESSING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH rich, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” (Proverbs 10:22).

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quests of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason..

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions  – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28].

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!
