BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION

By Leave a Comment

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION: IT’S A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

Being called by Father God to the place of FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus is preciously precious and must be faithfully treasured without measure. And more so, being given the opportunity and privilege as one SET-APART to lead His people and to feed them with knowledge and understanding, it’s at a cost and for a purpose. And it’s imperative that such rare apportion cause to do life and live godly it’s given such blessed regards without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by all and any means at all.

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Our Father God is jealous over His redeemed precious people that He has chosen to be a special called generation, a holy and peculiar people, that are to show forth and showcase His glory, majesty and grace to others – by bringing them into the light of life.

Therefore, know of a TRUTH this day, in this moment that being a God’s SET-MAN for the congregation, it’s a ministerial responsibility and accountability, and the principle to upheld it with dignity and grace must be fully accorded without reservation if you must fulfill the purpose meaningfully.

It’s my prayers that you find grace, wisdom and speed in God’s presence and blessedness, as one set apart to meaningfully fulfil God’s cause and purpose, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us ABLE MINISTERS of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . .  16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

“And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for THE PERFECTING of the saints, for THE WORK of the ministry, for THE EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of the faith, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAN THESE? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. 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 he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS: Living Beyond The Limitations Of The WEATHER!

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Are you been limited by the various life seasons? Do you think the weather you find yourself is limiting you? Do you think the AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER weathers are having effect on you? Probably the dry season alias HARMATTAN or RAINFALL seasons as in some areas are your problems? Probably the seasons of holidays as – CHRISTMAS, EASTER, SPECIAL GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS, OTHER RELIGIOUS and NON-RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS and such like. Are they your profound noted and pointed asking for distress and worries?

Have you ever given a thought about the difference between the THERMOMETER and THERMOSTAT? That the first (THERMOMETER) absorb temperature of the surrounding weather to define itself while the second (THERMOSTAT) is not affected by the surrounding weather but instead detect and define its statesquo without external influence.

It thus mean therefore that your life DEFINITION are the choices that are within you – for you to either allow the Holy Spirit within you by God’s indwelling WORD to DEFINE you in order to thrive and be fruitful meaningfully and purposefully; and to fulfil who God have made you be in Christ Jesus stead; and that saves you, instead of making excuses and complaints of every weather and seasons to be your reason of subjection to the elements of this world – be it of natural causes, demonic causes, man-made and make-believe or other factors. The choice is always yours to RESPOND thoughtfully or otherwise REACT ignorantly.

The Almighty God, the creator of all weather and seasons changes not, and have made each to be fruitful, productive and fulfilling respectively. He made all things beautiful in creation and have planted within each man (non-gender) with eternity (eternal spirit) within to give the enabling to connect to God for the very best in life. You can either act correspondingly to THRIVE and be FULLFIL or be gazing at the weather and seasons as the DISCIPLES of Christ Jesus once did and do nothing until the seasons and weather overwhelmed you. And thereafter you can blame no one of your nonchalant behaviour and attitude (conduct) for gaze watching instead of exercising the will to create, innovate, explore and initiate your own path of happiness and FULFILMENT within God’s will of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

I employ you today to wake up and determine not to allow any form of life weather and seasons to define you in becoming who you born of God to be in Christ Jesus stead in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye GAZING up into heaven? THIS SAME Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” Acts 1:9-11.

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is UNDER tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, WERE IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS Of THE WORLD: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS

By Leave a Comment

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decisions and actions you’ve made and are making in the cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that have befallen you in the cause of time or are befalling you now.

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or were into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that make no difference.

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus’ stead, has NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF-JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus’ stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.

I want you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of being negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to a higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be blessed accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom, and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW.  10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: IT’S ABOUT BEING THE LIGHT AND THE ANSWER TO SOMEONE ELSE DARKNESS AND QUEST!

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine out of DARKNESS, hath shined in OUR HEARTS, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6.

Are you a Gospel Minister, Christian Worker and or a Believer of The Christian Faith? I pray you to be the GOOD SAMARITAN and not the extra busy and insensitive PRIEST and LEVITE of Luke 10:25-37, who seems too religiously busy and insensitive to have a moment for the QUEST of the needy as per when it’s most important when the opportunity to do so was within their reach.

Sometimes for many we’ve overlooked the essence of the Ministry of the Gospel – which is about solving life problems, and for which, we are in the World and not of the World. This thus indicate the need to be heavenly mindful and also of earthly good. We need to be earthly good even to a fault, if that’s what it takes to give hope, love, faith, peace, opportunity and more, to someone else.

Solving life problems for others will take passion that might  involve sacrifice and service. You may not be positioned to have the physical answer per se for everything, but a PRAYER, a heartfelt concern to care may be more helpful than the actual physical provision; especially when it’s not within your physical possessions to offer and provide. When you become the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest, our God in return will beam His light of life in His own ways and time on your own darkness and quest.

Give yourself a trial this week, by being the light and answer to someone else darkness and quest. The Father God will be glorified, and you will be blessed indeed. Amen!

“Ye are the LIGHT of the world. A CITY that is SET on an HILL cannot be hid.  15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.  16 Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and GLORIFY your Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16).

“Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. PROVIDE THINGS HONEST IN THE SIGHT OF ALL MEN. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, LIVE PEACEABLY WITH ALL MEN. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, FEED him; if he thirst, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:16-21

“If thine enemy be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to eat; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee”  Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a fault, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 BEAR YE ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS, and so FULFIL the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 AND LET US NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore OPPORTUNITY, let us DO GOOD unto all men, ESPECIALLY unto them who are of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH” Galatians 6:1-10.

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead.

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an ADVICE to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an ORDER, a COMMAND, a MANDATE and an ASSIGNMENT to be willingly obeyed if you and I must eat the good of the land as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen [Isaiah 1:19]. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not given to be a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquility irrespective and without prejudice.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3.

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, because you ARE His and the epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written:

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS is at work upon your life in all wisdom in graciousnesss and gracefulness. And you are not undermined by any means by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, as an EPISTLE of  God to humanity, you ARE ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation by FAITH and not limited in this endowed GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s:

** A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16]

** God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:20].

** A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 8:37].

** An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11].

** VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57].

** TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14].

** REDEEMED in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12]

** A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus stead [1 Peter 2:9-10].

** . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s your moment and time now, to take a gracious STAND, by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus; and to take a stand against anything or forces as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH; and against satanic cohorts interfering on you to intentionally and pragmatically take a stand in the grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, as a demand of the kingdom.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

For we live in the perilous times and days wherein the enemy and cohorts are out there as PERVERTERS of the Gospel – and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the leadership power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers. It’s time not to be complaining and arguing and lazing around sluggishly and slothfully with the enemy and cohorts, but to stand tall and be vigilant, to resist, and to earnestly contend in the faith by the grace in Christ Jesus, against all the onslaughts that’s outplaying to stop us from the kingdom mandate and demand to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also AGAINST any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I AM SET FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: NO MORE REASONS TO FALL AS A VICTIM OR BE A PREY IN ERRONEOUS DOMAIN!

“And so were the churches ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, and INCREASED in number daily” Acts 16:5.

To BEING ESTABLISHED IN FAITH is both foundational and fundamental to the Christian spiritual walk in Christ Jesus’ stead; and it’s in order to enhance the individual and collective Believer’s in Christ Jesus to advance the Kingdom causes of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – effortlessly and without sweat and stress. And more importantly, to safeguard you from working and walking in the name of Christ Jesus stead mistakingly and erroneously in religious sectarianism and denominationalism and not after Christ Jesus stead indeed.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [ERRONEOUS, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29 [Mark 12:24].

When you are BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, you can graciously and gracefully COMMUNICATE THE FAITH and be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH in all matters of doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. That’s when in essence, you are assuring and ensuring that you live fully in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead, fulfilling purpose. For this cause, Apostle longs to see the Romans Church brethren that he might impart some spiritual gift to them, so that they may be established in the faith, and sharing the mutual faith BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may BE ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the MUTUAL FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:11-12.

It’s a high time to ensure and be assured that the man made-up and make-up belief and believes, traditions and erroneous deceit that have entangled many religiously in sectarianism and denominationalism, have no more setting, sitting and seating places in your path of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

And the Book that answers your quest is now within reach, which I strongly recommend to you without prejudice. And it’s to God’s glory and praise in His BLESSEDNESS, for this INSPIRING, REVEALING and EMPOWERING Book entitled: “BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH”.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20.

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded, and the maimed, where those who are a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comforted others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory.

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling and garage station for the fueling and refuelling, the repairs and repairing of the car, wherein you don’t run the car there but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 18 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 on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guildrails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is otherwise called the Body of Christ which you are a member in particular there to function and not as a structure.

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such is loved, glorious, holy, without blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33].

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY [APPROPRIATELY] and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:40/Emphasis Mine.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine.

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in PARTICULAR so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do BELIEVE And RECEIVE The SAVING GRACE of God In Christ Jesus!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE.  17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who BELIEVES in Him is not CONDEMNED; but he who does not BELIEVE is CONDEMNED already, because he has not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them He GAVE the POWER (RIGHT) to BECOME children of God, to those who BELIEVE in His name:  13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which LIVETH and ABIDETH for ever” 1 Peter 1:23.

“. . . 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is BORN of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN” John 3:1-7.

“And there are three that bear WITNESS in earth, THE Spirit, and THE water, and THE blood: and these three agree in one” John 3:8.

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: MATTERS PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN IN A FAULT, ye which ARE SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself” Galatians 6:1-3

In our course to fulfill the cause of grace as pertaining to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, there are certain misnomers that may arise that are more of human creation than are scriptural in context. And in relative terms may create a contradiction in the general faith of the individual, local, and universal body of Christ Jesus. And the context is not about what happened, or has happened or is happening but how we go sorting an answer to enable us to stay in the freedom wherein Christ has made us free in REDEMPTION. It is the know-how context we need to address and be addressing by and by, in ensuring and assuring all that ARE of God in Christ Jesus, can then be found in their feet to a wholesome stand in the faith, and by the grace of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

“It was for this freedom that Christ set us FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 6 For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:1, 6/Amplified.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, declared blameless before God] by FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/Amplified.

Herein are my takes in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT for the good and goodness on us, and on how to deal and be dealing with MATTERS that are in dispute and contentious in the Christian faith. These set out principles are SCRIPTURALLY healthy, in order to stay SCRIPTURALLY balance in the CONTEXT of disputes, disputed and contentions amongst us in the Faith, if you must avoid errors and the extremely offs, at all ends of the Christian faith as Jesus caution the sectarianism of His days in humanity.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [ERRONEOUS, MISTAKENLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 [Mark 12:24]/Emphasis Mine.

And, I am certainly confident that when you follow the principle guidances, which I know are of the Holy Spirit, you can RESOLVE without been in extreme disputes and contention in the Christian FAITH. It has SAVED me severally from day zero of giving myself to do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, when dealing with matters that of any serious contention and disputes, these are the keynotes to approach such matter, in order to keep your being in Christ Jesus safe in the FAITH, without hurting self or another in Christ Jesus stead: Herein are the three basic PRINCIPLES to apply in all situations and circumstances of disputes and contentions:

** IN ESSENTIALS: DO PURSUE UNITY

** IN NON – ESSENTIALS: DO ALLOW LIBERTY

** IN ALL THINGS: DO ENSURE LOVE – CHARITABLE LOVE CAUSE

It’s high time to always get APPROVED of God as JESUS CHRIST in His stead, and not on men’s APPLAUD that’s of sentiments and prejudice that leads to all manners of dissemination – Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15. You need to BUILD your FAITH based on God’s WORD, in order to get His APPROVAL in principle and not in sentiments and prejudice and then be free from hypocrisy and sectarianism. For Men’s APPLAUD legislate and are of sentiments and prejudice and it’s not based on the principle of God’s WORD in Christ Jesus stead. Men’s APPLAUD are, as seen in among religious zealots and sectarianism, denominational dogmas and creeds, man-made legislative make-belief, traditions sect settings of men by-laws and such like, as seen telegraph in many current situations in the world today. Don’t be entangled with any person in matters, where many think that GAINS is equal to GODLINESS and SPIRITUALITY with their disputation and prejudice, and sectarianism. 1 Timothy 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

Be WATCHFUL and VIGILANT before you are eluded by men in titles, status and gains. Be always, constantly, and fervently LED of the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, for anything else is religion and man-made make belief and sectarianism.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RECEIVE one who is WEAK in the FAITH, but not to DISPUTES over DOUBTFUL things. 2 For one BELIEVES he may EAT all things, but he who is weak EATS only vegetables. 3 Let not him who EATS despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has RECEIVED him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his OWN MASTER he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is ABLE to make him stand. 5 One person ESTEEMS one day above another; another ESTEEMS every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who OBSERVES the day, OBSERVES it to the Lord; and he who DOES NOT OBSERVE the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For NONE of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you JUDGE your brother? Or why do you show CONTEMPT for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may EDIFY another. 20 Do not DESTROY the work of God for the SAKE of food. ALL THINGS indeed are PURE, but it is EVIL for the man who EATS with OFFENSE. 21 It is good NEITHER to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother STUMBLES or is OFFENDED or is MADE WEAK. 22 DO YOU HAVE FAITH? Have it to YOURSELF before God. HAPPY is he who DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF in what he APPROVES. 23 But he who DOUBTS is CONDEMNED if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for WHATEVER is not from FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:1-23.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“. . . 3 If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is ACCORDING to GODLINESS; 4 he is PROUD, knowing NOTHING, but DOTING about questions and STRIFES of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN is GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

“As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 NEITHER GIVE HEED TO FABLES AND ENDLESS GENEALOGIES, WHICH MINISTER QUESTIONS, RATHER THAN GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: SO DO. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from WHICH SOME HAVING SWERVED HAVE TURNED ASIDE UNTO VAIN JANGLING; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” 1 Timothy 1:3-11.
