GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!

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

“So then, let us [who MINISTER] be regarded as servants of Christ and STEWARDS (TRUSTEES, ADMINISTRATORS) of the MYSTERIES of God [that He CHOOSES to reveal]. 2 In this case, moreover, it is REQUIRED [as essential and demanded] of STEWARDS that one be found FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2/Amplified.

Many times I have come across the QUEST for an ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment toward God and toward men – burdened as to say – if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s is to say, staying FAITHFULNESS, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten and battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain FAITHFUL seems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic to them in matters of life and godly living. But I know Faithfulness is rewarding; and God is still FAITHFUL even when we walk away from His faithfulness, because faithfulness is about His person and nature and He can’t deny Himself because of us.

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

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost drawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered, when you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and experiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light:

** A woman being beaten up and maimed by the temperamental and untampered husband or like another husband having a wife you can’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE statement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity.

** When an employee working and putting up with much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the Business with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with no fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the company capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate returns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and untrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and undermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and unknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on them and all those who looks up to them through that means for their livelihood.

** When a government is failing in governance to the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution of the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and dissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system sabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and wealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to loot the system and make it fail at no consequence.

** And the list goes on and on in various life applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can name them too to make up this paragraph.

However, I am emboldened to say by the light of the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in God, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face or have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that God is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I recommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and enjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD OR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we should do it as unto  God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to REWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, I say to you, hold fastly and firmly the MYSTERY of your FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE CONSCIENCE.

Herein are few hints but not limited to indicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching reward and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.
  2. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits progress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20.
  3. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.
  4. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.
  5. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b; Mark 10:28-30.

BE A TIMOTHY: FOR AN INFORMED CHILD – MAKES INFORMED FAMILY – THAT MAKES INFORMED HEALTHY COMMUNITY AND SOCIETY!

THE NEED TO PRAY

By Leave a Comment

THE NEED TO PRAY: PRAYING IS HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD ON HIS WORD – AND KNEELING INDICATES BEING PURPOSEFUL, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING AND MORE!

“We should PRAY when we are in a PRAYING mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should PRAY when we are not in a PRAYING mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.”  – Charles Spurgeon.

There’s the NEED to PRAY and the NEED in making it your PERSONAL AND INESCAPABLE OBLIGATION and not SOMEONE else. Don’t be a PRAYER DISTRIBUTOR person and or COLLECTION CENTRE, but a KNEELING Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For KNEELING indicates – Winning, Dominion, Thriving, Victory, Overcoming, Triumph and More Than CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In the PRAYER acts of C. Spurgeon, I have met people with the URGED to PRAY but took the opportunity for granted for other activities, and had suffered the consequences of their spiritual neglects.

I’ve met also people who create no time to see praying or prayers as their SPIRITUAL responsibility and accountability, and have had the consequences of taking their spiritual responsibility and accountability for granted.

However, I’ve seen people who took time to PRAY when the urge to PRAY is done on them, and who also take PRAYERS and PRAYING as their personal spiritual responsibility and accountability and not someone else, even when the urge is not there; and through PRAYERS, they have averted adversities and kept at bay the ENEMY and COHORTS; and through PRAYERS, the good and goodness of God’s BLESSEDNESS have come their way and that of others they had prayed along for and with, quietly and or publicly.

Don’t take your act to PRAYERS and PRAYING for granted. Don’t make it someone else RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY – make them yours. It’s time to know your God and be with Him in PRAYERS to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay and have the heavens at your answer.

There’s is the need to PRAY – for PRAYING is humbling yourself before God on His WORD – and KNEELING indicate PURPOSEFULNESS, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in CHRIST JESUS stead.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

NO MATTER THE NEVERTHELESS AND THE NOTWITHSTANDING OF YOUR SITUATIONS TODAY: STAY FAITHFUL IN PRAYERS – THERE’S AN ANSWER WITH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18 Emphasis Mine.

Dear friend, be ASSURED and KNOW full well, that in Christ Jesus stead, no matter the NOTWITHSTANDING and the NEVERTHELESS you’ve found yourself at this very moment in life – You don’t need to FAINT, GIVE UP, BE WEARY, LOOSE HEARTS, BE UNFAITHFUL to the principles of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus because of your current challenges. You need to take the bull by the horns, knowing it’s in all goodness, graciousness and gracefulness for you to just stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS – which is the CONSULTATION LIFELINE with God, until your ANSWERS comes.

THERE’S A MIRACLE for you in God’s BLESSEDNESS if you can take the needed and needful step of FAITH in God. For with God – ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE – [Matthew 19:26]. And ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to you and to all Who BELIEVE God by FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – [Mark 9:23].

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

Do you truly and earnestly BELIEVE the possibility God as Simon Peter fully Believe of God’s WORD to launch into the deep for a catch – the catch that comes on obeying Christ Jesus demands? [Luke 5:1-11]. Thus, indicating that God will always COMMEND what He COMMAND. That should be your personal ANSWER to that QUEST you earnestly desire to turn around today no matter your situations. For we OUGHT to PRAY and not FAINT – and God seek a heart of FAITHFULNESS in all situations [Luke 18:1-8].

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, AND LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: Nevertheless At Thy Word I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their NET BRAKE . . .” Luke 5:1-11.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, LOOSE HEARTS, BE WEARY) . . . 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. NEVERTHELESS when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) on the earth?” Luke 18:1-18/Emphasis Mine.

There are many occasions wherein we are at crossroads one way or the other. The natural thing to do in most cases is by tending to go down to Egypt because of the FAMINE of life as Isaac of Abraham of Genesis 26:1-6. But if you can take a stand on God’s WORD as he was instructed by God, therein he waxed great and went on to become very greater in the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS that took it’s hold in him as in Genesis 26:12-14 (Genesis 26).

There’s the need to stay FAITHFUL in PRAYERS no matter the nevertheless and the notwithstanding of your situations today; for there’s an ANSWER with God in Christ Jesus stead. Take the NOTWITHSTANDING and NEVERTHELESS position stand in PRAYERS, to deal with everything that stands in your part of BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that MEN PRAY EVERY WHERE, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING . . . 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 NOTWITHSTANDING she shall be SAVED in CHILDBEARING, if they continue in FAITH and CHARITY and HOLINESS with SOBRIETY” 1 Timothy 2:8-15.

“But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the FURTHERANCE OF THE GOSPEL; 13 so that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; 14 and many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. 15 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. 19 For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. 23 For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: 24 NEVERTHELESS to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; 26 that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again” Philippians 1:12-26.

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

LIVING THOUGHT: YOU ARE GOD’S CHURCH – A PART OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD!

“. . . 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 . . .” Matthew 16:14-20.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

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

The CHURCH is NOT the CATHEDRAL or STRUCTURAL BUILDING or DENOMINATIONISED CREED OR RELIGIOUS INCLINATION of any kind that you may think. For YOU ARE the Church and a part of THE CHURCHES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE a member in particular of the body of Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Ephesians 5:22-33] – which means you ARE one of the Church of the Churches that the Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus, is building, the Church that’s been saved and washed by His blood, and had been REDEEMED from every kindred, nation, tongue, people and of irrespective of any measures [Matthew 16:18; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10].

You ARE that God’s building, that’s undergoing His works 24/7, ascribed as a HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people, a CHOSEN generation and a ROYAL priesthood, that has received mercies and set to show forth the praise of Him that has called you from darkness into His marvelous light of fellowship with Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus. Amen [1 Peter 2:9-10; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 3:8-9]. You ARE God’s temple, His dwelling place [1 Corinthians 6:19-20]. You ARE of God and He lives in you. You are the dwelling of the Holy Godhead and the greater one resides in you. That’s awesomeness, graciousness, gracefulness and BLESSEDNESS indeed.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the world . . .6 We ARE of God: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby KNOW we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4, 6.

It’s a high time you know who you ARE and ARE BECOMING of God in Christ Jesus stead; otherwise, you may be subject to the SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and RELIGIOSITY that’s embedded in the tradition of men, the make-belief and dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy that leads to further BONDAGES and not after Christ Jesus stead. When you know you are the Church, you won’t be having infighting as the Corinthians Churches who compete, compare and lay claims to dominance as to saying – “I am of Paul or I am of Apollos” that the nearly ruined their faith of God in Christ Jesus. Even today, many have subjected themselves to – “I am of this DENOMINATION, and of that SECTARIANISM or and of that Apostle or Prophet or Pastor and such like, than to being after Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, as His Church, a part of the Churches of God in Him.

“. . . 6 As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT up in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and NOT AFTER Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. . .” Colossians 2:1-23.

“. . . 3 For ye are yet CARNAL: for whereas there is among you ENVYING, and STRIFE, and DIVISIONS, are ye not CARNAL, and WALK AS MEN? 4 For while one saith, I AM OF PAUL; AND ANOTHER, I AM OF APOLLOS; ARE YE NOT CARNAL? 5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase  . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:1-9

Gathering at the structural building is Scripturally good, needful and helpful but it’s not the Church. It’s you, your PRESENCE in that place and with OTHERS that makes the building in terms “the Church and the CHURCHES” per se, otherwise it could be any hall or places of doing life also like restaurants, Office, Leisure centre etc.

“NOT FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24.

Know for certainty, that the Church, is made up firstly, of the individual – you, then the local – group gathering otherwise called assembly and the universal body, of the born of God in Christ Jesus, under a shepherd. This is worth noting as you do life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The Church/Churches is/are not reckoned by any religion or religious or religiosity attached to a set denomination and affiliates, but as a body, living under God in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit leads and leadership, through the living WORD of God.

BE HEALED AND WHOLE: THE WORD HEALS AND GIVES HEALTH TODAY!

“He sent His WORD, and HEALED them, and DELIVERED [RESCUED, SAVED] them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20.

The WORD of God heals and keeps one healthy in life for today, tomorrow and always [Hebrews 13:8] and from every form of destruction as endeavour to believe and lay hold on the word unreservedly today. So I say to you, be HEALED and WHOLE, for the WORD administers HEALING and HEALTH as by the scriptures. You only part to healing and health victory and sustainability is for you to BELIEVE the WORD, MEDITATE on the WORD and DECLARE the WORD in order to ADMINISTER the word to your WELL-BEING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the WORD of God sent to heal us and to keep us in health is Jesus, who became flesh in humanity for our own good [1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14, 17]. And FAITH on the WORD that gives salvation gives healing and health likewise and accordingly and unreservedly,  and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“For I will RESTORE HEALTH unto thee, and I will HEAL THEE OF THY WOUNDS, saith the Lord; because they CALLED thee an OUTCAST, saying, This is ZION, whom no man seeketh after” Jeremiah 30:17.

“For I will RESTORE HEALTH to you And I will HEAL YOUR WOUNDS,’ says the Lord, ‘Because they have CALLED you an OUTCAST, saying: “This is ZION; no one SEEKS her and no one CARES for her.” Jeremiah 30:17 AMPLIFIED.

It’s your BLESSEDNESS to ENACT your REDEMPTION DEED in Christ Jesus stead, by your FAITH in the healing and health scriptures – For by His STRIPES you ARE HEALED and MADE WHOLE – Amen. So, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! For God’s earnest desire and plan is to have us healed and to be in health [3 John 1:2]. He wants us to be WELL – HEALED AND WHOLE; and this comes by us, administering the healing and health Scriptures accordingly – that is, to BELIEVE on THE WORD, to MEDITATE on THE WORD and to DECLARE THE WORD, thereby administering THE WORD into our WELL-BEING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your MOUTH, but you shall MEDITATE on it day and night, that you may OBSERVE and DO according to all that is written in it. For then you shall MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then you shall deal WISELY and have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8/Amplified Classic Edition.

It’s my PRAYER, that this day and now, it’s your day to be WELL And WHOLE as you COMMUNICATE your FAITH to your being for wholeness in Jesus healing Name, Amen.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION (ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, DECLARATION) of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (RESULTS ORIENTED, PRODUCTIVE) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis Mine).

I want you to prayerfully and boldly declare by communicating your healing and health to your being, through the Holy SCRIPTURES that are written for you in mind, as you ACKNOWLEDGED all the healing good that God has and is done in you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. When you INCLINE your ears to God’s SAYINGS by FAITH, other SAYINGS becomes IRRELEVANT and your miracle comes as you take your stand in GRACE in Christ Jesus stead, in God. Amen. Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 4:20-23.

You need to believe the SCRIPTURAL WORD in CONTEXT as you read and study the WORD. For to BELIEVE the WORD is to CONCEIVED the WORD in your spirit being. Then MEDITATE – that’s to PONDER – on the WORD. Then DECLARE to ADMINISTER – that’s to COMMUNICATE, PROCLAIM, ANNOUNCE – your FAITH on what you BELIEVE on the WORD with your MOUTH to that ILLNESS – SICKNESS and such like ‘NESSES that makes you SICK and that DISEASE – that makes you UN-EASE. For to be DIS-EASE is to be UN-EASE. For therein, your health and healing – wellness and wholeness – is come and coming in God’s JEHOVAH-RAPHA name, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“My son, pay ATTENTION to MY WORDS and be willing to learn; Open your EARS to MY SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them escape from your sight; Keep them in the center of your heart. 22  For they are life to those who find them, And HEALING and HEALTH to all their FLESH. 23  Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life” Proverbs 4:20-23 Amplified.

I pray that as you meditate and make an EMBOLDENED declaration – communication – of FAITH upon these Health and Healing SCRIPTURES, may you be HEALED and WHOLE in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; 1 John 4:17-18

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified.

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE: APPLY IT TODAY BY INCREASING THE DOSAGE!

“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK in LOVE, as Christ also hath LOVED us, and hath GIVEN himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a SWEETSMELLING savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

It’s a high time you top up and increase your LOVE DOSAGE. God LOVES you – “. . . GO AND DO LIKEWISE” in every circumstance of doing life and living godly. That’s what’s our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity told the self-righteous and self-justifying and questioning Lawyer on who is my neighbour to love was charged to do on the law with second commandments in order to fulfil the summed up of the ten commandments into two as written.

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY STRENGTH, and with ALL THY MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? . . . . 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

When you begin to love God in Christ Jesus stead, and love yourself in Him, and love others [neighbours] irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in every aspect of human relationships, you create a default for a healthy living – knowingly and unknowingly toward God and His Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, and toward your humanity.

“Let LOVE be WITHOUT DISSIMULATION [HYPOCRISY]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another” Romans 12:9-10/Emphasis Mine.

If you think you are struggling, top of your FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus with the love lubricant, and you will experience the graciousness and gracefulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS beyond your wildest imagination. And to top up it’s by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, by which our Father God has lavished His love in our hearts to love unreservedly, intentionally and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while WE WERE STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

Living and walking in LOVE as God has loved us in Christ Jesus, is all we need earnestly now as a default in order to obtain the leverage over that mountain that tends to stop us in our path of living purposefully and gracefully in the FULNESS of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you intentionally top up your LOVE dosage in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Be ye therefore FOLLOWERS of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK in LOVE, as Christ also hath LOVED us, and hath GIVEN himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“But the END of ALL THINGS is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And ABOVE ALL THINGS have FERVENT LOVE for one another, for “LOVE will cover a MULTITUDE of SINS” 1 Peter 4:7-8.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT— 19 to KNOW THE LOVE of Christ which PASSES [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [MERE SENSUAL KNOWLEDGE]; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/NKJV/MINE EMPHASIS.

“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.

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly AFFECTIONED one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour PREFERRING one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 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 12:9-21/Emphasis Mine.

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY STRENGTH, and with ALL THY MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

God’s LOVE Plan: To Give You A HOPEFUL Today, A GRACIOUS And GRACEFUL Tomorrow!

God’s LOVE Plan: To Give You A HOPEFUL Today, A GRACIOUS And GRACEFUL Tomorrow!

“For I KNOW the PLANS I have for you, declares the Lord, PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you HOPE and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:12/NIV.

God’s PLAN for your Life is REAL, GENUINE and TANGIBLE; and His purposeful PLAN is to give you a hope for today and future for your tomorrow. He’s the God of the now in Christ Jesus, therefore, don’t let any tell you otherwise. Much more, God loves you unconditionally and irrespectively – and that’s while you can’t afford to live otherwise or for an alternative that’s counterfeited, adulterated, faked, masqueraded and of course, made up sectarianism and religiosity.

“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.

Herein are two thoughts to consider here but not limited:

FIRSTLY – God loves you in spite of whatsoever is going on right now in your life.

SECONDLY – Are you low or beneath in life in your onward and upward trajectory in altitude? You need to know that you are still God’s best, and His intent is to give you a hopeful today and a blessed future in life and godly living; and His grace to make it possible are available and irrevocable. He loves you and cares about you no matter how your day, week, month and year has been, especially this year per se.

You need to rise up, dust off and tidy up yourself, raise up your head, look upward, adjust your shoulders, shake off your limitations, putting on your heels of faith in Christ Jesus and see the dawning of a new you in the eyes of God’s LOVE, to make it good for you now and always.

Say to yourself, I am God’s best and showcase, and I will not fail, because God has never failed and will not fail, and He won’t begin with me now. Amen!

I PRAY for God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS to abound the more with you, to advance the Kingdom Cause of God in your life, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead and precious name. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
