Welcome to the DAWN YEAR and MONTH JANUARY 2025!
This is the DAY [YEAR] which the Lord hath MADE [BROUGHT ABOUT]; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/Emphasis Mine.
This is the Day, Year and Month that our God had made for our gladness and rejoicing in His GLORY, VIRTUE and and PURPOSE for us in His will. And the YEAR 2025 is themed/entitled – YEAR OF “CHRISTLIKENESS!” and Month JANUARY 2025 is themed/entitled – BEING CHRISTLIKE!
[Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:21-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].
God in His will and purpose never change – He’s not in any surprise of the dawn year or month in human calendar. God lives in the present tense timeless timeline wherein our Faith toward Him in Christ Jesus is conditioned to live within for our victory and access to all that pertains to life and godliness in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
As the Month and year goes by, the mystery of grace by faith within the year and month themed will be unveiled for your blessedness and wholesome living in the grace.
So, Year 2025 and January 2025 may be new to you, but not to God. His stands on His WORD remains immutable, irrevocable and ever fulfilling. Do away with RELIGION and take your place for CHRISTLIKENESS as you live CHRISTLIKE, in order to find your purpose and fulfilment in all that pertains to doing live and living God. God in Christ Jesus is His WORD for your yesterday, today and tomorrow. His WORD is the ASSURED WORD of PROPHECY that any shall be measured and the contrary shall be discarded for your wellbeing and good, except you choose deception from the TRUTH that gives the FREEDOM to fulfilment..
“We have also a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until THE DAY DAWN, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.
HAVE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!
SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on 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 with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.
“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.
“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.
“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.

THE DAWN YEAR MONTH – JANUARY 2025: “BEING CHRISTLIKE”!
As we’ve delved into year 2025 and the month of beginning January 2025 with all hopes and aspirations in our various assembly’s, what’s your set label or sticker that will be your innermost consciousness defining your outward manifestation of God’s grace, to mark you out and to give you focus, the sense of stability, the sense of fulfilling purpose with God without distractions and as the guide lamp to carry you through the good and challenging times of the year and month as may be applicable in times. Have you thought of that? For me is to “BEING CHRISTLIKE”.
To some, their classic label is just to prosper, have enough material gains, have several avenues of making money and to have the best that the world have ever known to qualify them at the top seating places in “Church” to enable them show forth whatever they have accumulated and probably to get a special car parking spot, and others with several unimaginable. And they will do things that are not good to hear, by the way they pray, attend all kinds of places that the CHRISTLIKE won’t even dare think or imagine – just because of the lies they have been told by the megaphones that they listen to and less ears to God, because as for them this is their year for whatever is going on within them , anything that tends to be a stopper is sentence to death by any means – case close – because it’s by fire, fireworks, and force and any means. Is that you? I mean you in Christ Jesus. Thinking that way? Planning new strategies even if it means defrauding by any available scheme, so long as you’ve gotten what you want to booster your appetite? Wherein is the CHRISTLIKENESS Beloved of God!
“But the PATH of the JUST is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 20 My son, ATTEND TO MY WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:18-23.
I am taking my time to redress myself of who Jesus is and His purpose and commission towards me so that I can be CHRISTLIKE in living for a purpose with fulfilment as an AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST. And at the same time, I am unveiling myself to know MORE of the Disciples of Christ Jesus that turns Apostle’s to know how they live to be CHRISTLIKE and were fulfilled in grace without such a high level of controversy that made many turn away from Christ; because I perceived and I foresee a future that will be defined by the Pentecostal religion if not already at work, wherein Christ Jesus is no longer the core, and only centre heart message and central place for all to serve God unreservedly, acceptably and to worship Him worthily; instead God and His Christ will be mentioned as a passing messages while matters of accumulation of things, titles by names, wealth pointing and success toward men and not after God and His Christ in pure essence, becomes the order being set with drama’s will becomes a norm and acceptable denominational doctrine overtime as if it’s scriptural. YOU NEED TO PAUSE. CHECK YOUR SPEED NOW before you become one who lives outside CHRISTLIKENESS.
Herein are things to know about the DISCIPLES of Christ Jesus. I hope you learnt something as the year comes along and you hear various megaphones making noise to ears and the boundless social media effects and nationalised multimedia newspaper and Television feedlines reels and such like:
“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they ASSEMBLED themselves with the church, and TAUGHT much people. And the DISCIPLES were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch” Acts 11:26.
The Disciple’s of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who were literally living the CHRISTLIKE life to the fulness in their manner of doing life and living godly were nicknamed by others as CHRISTIANS – as followers of Christ Jesus and His teaching. It was a derogatory label then, even though over the years it’s become more norm than to say I am born of God and disciples of Christ Jesus to avoid being categorised. However, that’s the world labelling and image and emerging concept of analysing who the Believer’s in Christ Jesus faith is all about [Acts 11:25-26; Acts 26:27-29; 1 Peter 4:15-16].
While on the other hand, the disciples of Christ Jesus face severe persecution and the Church then wasted by one man who labelled them under the tyranny of the state as created by the learned Brother Saul, who later because Apostle Paul, and who with his caucus labelled Christ disciples of his time then as People of: “THIS WAY”, “THE WAY” , “THAT WAY” [Acts 9:1-2; Galatians 1:1-24; Acts 19:19, 23; Acts 24:14, 22-23]. Using various naming to disregard Believer’s. I know he rather soonest you may have made a meme, just stand in the faith as representing of the God’s of heaven.
A CHRISTIAN, you say you ARE? You must come to realise under what umbrella are you acclaiming it, otherwise it becomes another religious remarks you carry thinking it’s heavenly not knowing you’ve teased on a reason – and it’s the reason I am after for you to know and actual and escape from as many of the do so many religion we do that’s not CHRISTLIKE but to fulfil human righteousness and not that which is of God [Romans 10:1-5]; You must know then that you ARE born of God and you ARE of God and you ARE God’s vehicle and vessel of change, in changing and influencing lives and making an effectual difference for the good of others, for God in Christ Jesus stead. And the label should be you are CHRISTLIKE. And your being born of God means then you ARE Christ FOLLOWER, SOLDIER of Christ, Christ WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. You can ARISE today and let it be that you are living for who you ARE of God in Christ Jesus stead not just what you are nicknamed as you take on the challenges of the faith in the grace.
My first understanding of the word ‘CHRISTIAN’ as to becoming a Christian is to understand that:
*It was a derogatory nickname given to those who are and were genuinely followers, witness and Missionary of Christ as in the book of Acts epistles. [Acts 11:26; Acts 26:27-29; 1 Peter 4:15-17].
*And when you take the word CHRIST out of the word CHRISTIAN, you are left with ‘IAN’. And ‘IAN’ means to me – ‘I AM NOTHING’. Meaning, one is of no WORTH, but ONLY in WORTH, because of Christ in you and you in Him. Otherwise, it’s religion, sectarianism, dogmas and religious bondage and tradition of men.
Christ Jesus NEVER called His own born of God children the term – Christian, instead He called us as He called them in scriptural context – DISCIPLE, FOLLOWER, SOLDIER, WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
The word Christian is an illusion that has been purported for too long that what it designated then at the first use toward followers of Christ Jesus is not what it does indicates and represents to many people today. Today, loads of people claims to be Christian’s because they found themselves in one religious Church while they live contrary to the context of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus stead, but when there’s a trial of their faith in Christ Jesus, they will almost deny it not arbitrary abandoned their acclaimed faith.
“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.
Are you just called a Christian or you are indeed a – DISCIPLE, FOLLOWER, SOLDIER, WITNESS, MISSIONARY and an AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. It’s your choice to align yourself today for your reality as you do life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus. Amen.
DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN – I HOPE YOU KNOW GENUINELY WHAT IT OUGHT TO MEAN TO ENABLE YOU THAT’S BORN OF GOD AS CALLED TO LIVE THE CHRISTLIKE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

CONGRATULATIONS – WELCOME TO YEAR 2025: HAPPY AND BLESSED YEAR 2025!
YEAR 2025 is the year entitled “CHRISTLIKENESS!” – meaning a year to live “CHRISTLIKENESS!” in every place of doing life and living godly, in order to ensure God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. More so, it’s a year that’s scripturally assured by the assured WORD of God represents God’s presence in the person of Jesus Christ [1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14], indicating it’s prophetic to enact and authentic it’s presence and essence to meaningfully fulfill God’s divine purpose in humanity.
“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye DO WELL that ye TAKE HEED, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and THE DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS: 20 knowing this first, that no PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.
I CONGRATULATE you and WELCOME you and WISHING YOU God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed to do life and live godly in the realm and sphere of enacting the Scripturally ASSURED YEAR 2025 of – “CHRISTLIKENESS” in every place in Christ Jesus. Amen.
It’s my heartfelt thoughts and PRAYERS that my God, your God may CROWN the YEAR 2025 with CHRISTLIKENESS for you and family and all you loved and cared about, with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE; and may God’s graciousness and gracefulness, lovingkindness and blessedness, abound the more with you as He prospers you and keeps you in health and wholeness, even as your soul prospers in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“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.
YEAR 2025 to me it’s a year of living the “CHRISTLIKENESS” in every place in Christ Jesus. And to live in CHRISTLIKENESS in every place in Christ Jesus in this context are these, but not limited to the following:
** It makes you a full “AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST” to reign and rule in life, under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:17-19; Genesis 1:26-28; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 115:15-16; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10].
** To know that CHRISTLIKENESS is of God and not of yourself by any means of measures; and it’s of His REDEMPTION plan for us on what Christ Jesus HAD DONE FOR you, He HAD DONE IN you, He’s DOING IN you, He’s DOING THROUGH you and DOING WITH you irrespective, to make you be who you ARE, to have of Him, and to become of Him, in doing life and living godly in humanity under divinity. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15:1-21).
** To know that it’s God that will CAUSE us to live in CHRISTLIKENESS – And this assured essence comes from what God did in Christ Jesus in our redemption. Everything God did in Christ He did it for you and me; not only that, but He set the credit to our account as though we did it—as if we were there. He made it our victor. [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8, 17-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21].
** To know that CHRISTLIKENESS does mean that God can overcome and work through with you in every single circumstance that may befall you to advance His purpose in your life irrespective. [Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Ephesians 1:10-12; Romans 8:31, 37].
** To know that CHRISTLIKENESS is much MORE THAN being victorious, because CHRISTLIKENESS is about the Christ that the world sees of God in you and not the religion and religious sacrilege being displayed to make people believe that the seen is of God as in their FACT to showcase signs of victory and celebrations and for us to take it so accordingly – and especially when there’s a bit of Oomph to seal it, just as you do see in sports for example – where medals🏅 are given on a platform to celebrate. And our CHRISTLIKENESS kind of triumph in redemption in Christ Jesus is sealed with the blood by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us and no man can counterfeit and adulterate it even in their sorcery craft. [2 Corinthians 2: 20-22; Romans 5:5-8; John 14:16-17; Ephesians 2:1-21; Acts 8:1-20].
** To be CHRISTLIKENESS is to have the enormous strength, to be strong, to be powerful, to be mighty, to be great over any forms of oppositions and limitations by an ambassador of creating, innovating exploring and initiating the nature of God for the good off all and irrespective [Job 17:9; Philippians 4:13; Ephesians 6:10; Luke 10:19; Zachariah 4:6]
** To be in CHRISTLIKENESS is to ask or persuade (someone) to do something that needs getting done in midst of all odds without a fight of strength because it’s done in Christ Jesus [Luke 18:1-8; John 11:1-46; John 14:12].
** To be in CHRISTLIKENESS, to get control, have influence and have dominion in any particular situation that would have captivated you by any chance – [Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 6:14].
** To be in CHRISTLIKENESS is to enact and authenticate that redemption in Christ Jesus is powerful, unparallel and superior to satan and cohorts arms of operandi. [Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV; Ephesians I:7-8; Revelation 5:9-10; Isaiah 54:13-17].
** To be in CHRISTLIKENESS is to win, to be victorious; to be an overcomer; to be a more than conquerors; to be triumphant and such like in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4-5].
** To manifest [show forth, reveal] the CHRISTLIKENESS is to stand up, head up, shoulders high, on the high heels of faith in showing forth the fulness of God to subdue and subject the enemy and cohorts in their craft and wickedness. [Romans 8:18-21; 1 John 3:8, 10; 1 Corinthians 12:7; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Hebrews 4:12-13].
And in this YEAR 2025, it’s a CHOICE if you want to live in CHRISTLIKENESS in every place of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus or you want to be of the WISH-WASHY group that are wanting to live on a mere PROPHECY because it’s said by someone so special and requiring no personal responsibility and accountability if such is of God, so long it meets their basic expectations on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appeals to your circumstances and vulnerability and not after your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead [Acts 17:10-12; I Corinthians 14:16-33].
I have chosen the path of CHRISTLIKENESS in every place in Christ Jesus, in order to experience the FULNESS of God’s grace, wisdom and speed and in His BLESSEDNESS by the inspiring, revealing and empowering mandate, set for YEAR 2025. And by the spirit of CHRISTLIKENESS in every place in Christ Jesus, I know I that through CHRISTLIKENESS I am assured of God’s assuring WORD that I can endeavour to advance the Kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. I therefore also employ you in the same, same-like spirit of grace as Apostle Paul will say to stir up the Corinthians Church in this wise:
“We having THE SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.
I want you to know of a truth that by what Jesus Christ in His did and deed in our redemption, we can prevail by “THE PREVAILING WORD” that’s made manifest in humanity – for Jesus Christ, is the Lion of the tribe of Judah that PREVAILED over all; He’s the WORD of God; He’s the SWORD of the Spirit that can do a diagnosis of the human tripartite being of – spirit, soul and body – resolving all problems within for our TRIUMPH. [Acts 19:20; Revelation 5:5; 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12-13].
I therefore announce by God, that you can live the realm of CHRISTLIKENESS, and I now employ you in YEAR 2025 to be an ‘AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST’ in every place in Christ Jesus in this scriptural context and commendation:
“. . . 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 . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:20 [17-21]
I wish you a HAPPY and BLESSED YEAR 2025 in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“You Crown the year with Your GOODNESS, And Your paths drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on 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 with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV
“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.
“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.
“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.
“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.
“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.
“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.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH – ACT UPON IT NOW!
“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.
FAITH is acting correspondingly on the BELIEVE on the WORD of God – that is – acting on whom and what you believe. Why BELIEVE is PASSIVE, FAITH is ACTIVE. Did you say then you have FAITH? Act on it NOW, for FAITH is now – in order to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR in EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.
FAITH is NOW: It’s a FORESIGHT with an INSIGHT – Not a new YEAR RESOLUTION, nor an act of PROCRASTINATION, ASSUMPTION, PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS; and it requires no special conference or seminar or fasting to activate; it’s not a denominational DOCTRINE or CREED or BY-LAW to activate. Simply BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT on that BELIEVE accordingly, unreservedly and uncompromisingly.
FAITH is TIMELESS: I Believe, therefore I Speak Forth Correspondingly – Acting on it, until my dawn day is dawn.
“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.
FAITH is a MYSTERY but not mystical: Faith is spiritual, as such, a mystery not subject to natural laws, instead natural laws as well as the heavenly laws submit to faith when held in PURE CONSCIENCE.
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.
And as a mystery, it REWARDS without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation for any self gratifications. And whatever is done outside the mystery of FAITH is a sin in that context.
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for WHATSOEVER is NOT of FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:23.
FAITH pleases God. FAITH is the DE FACTO to do business with the heavenly. FAITH is of the WORD of God, hence a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. FAITH rewards. FAITH gives Victory. FAITH brings about triumph. FAITH sustains. FAITH overcomes. FAITH is tangible. FAITH is reachable. FAITH is touchable. FAITH is living. FAITH delivers. FAITH works only by love. FAITH is not transferable. FAITH is obtainable. FAITH is much more than words and description.
Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD in all you do, in order to receive the enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto this MOUNTAIN, Be thou REMOVED, and be thou CAST into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall HAVE WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.
“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

As the Psalmist reminds us, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee” (Psalms 22:27). May the love and grace of Christ fill your life with purpose and peace. Merry Christmas!

THIS DECEMBER – IS ALL ABOUT THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS: LETS COMMEMORATE AND CELEBRATE HIM IN EVERYWAY!
“Now THE BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins . . . 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God WITH us.” Matthew 1:18-25.
CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid bare before Him in doing life and living godly. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him..
For me, when you take Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.
CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth.
CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.
Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:
*Peace and goodwill toward men
*Hope, Faith & Love for men
*Fellowship and Relationship
*Salvation for all mankind and more.
However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer:
* The babe in the manger
* The servant to death
* The limited one and
* The Christ on the Cross.
He’s now the:
* God on the throne
* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)
* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and
* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).
May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.
