DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTER

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS: IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT BE SORRY OR REGRET OR BE APOLOGETIC – IN SAYING A NO!

“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.

THANKS BUT “NO” THANKS – Is that too hard to say or make sometimes? Yeah – in majority of times especially in sentimental cases when you are not PRINCIPLED in matters of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, you will struggle to say the “NO” needed to keep you safe and free from bondage and entanglement of any sorts and kinds. Many people lives on regrets today for not rising up to the occasion to say a big honest “NO” and save their day and days ahead of time. Thus, meaning, YOU CAN FALL FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, when you don’t have a set PRINCIPLE based on the WORD of God that keeps you RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE and DISCIPLINED, for your self-worth in Christ Jesus stead; especially from the test and tastes of this life that is there to lure one away to an unpleasant and unpalatable position.

James 1:2-8, makes it known and understandable – that to be tempted or tested or tried is not a sin; but to let sentiments and prejudice cause you to give in to that which you are being tempted or tested about, will make and cause you to sin; and that will make you to become a PREY and VICTIM of your circumstances instead of a VICTOR if you’ve made a wise decision. And unfortunately that’s of your own making, for not saying emphatically a “NO”; especially in the knowing that God does not tempt any man to sin – nonetheless to break His WORD for any sentiments and prejudice as enjoined in James 1:13-15.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God CANNOT be tempted with evil, NEITHER tempteth he any man: 14 but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his OWN lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death” James 1:13-15.

As a child of God, if you must be strong and be fortified in life and faith and to stay steadfast in Christ Jesus stead, you must know and understand when to say “NO”. And saying “NO” boldly and means it when your right of ensuring God’s WORD in your life is been violated and legislated by any person, irrespective of the person life stands and status. More especially when there’s a DEMAND to commitments that makes you SMALL or SMALLER or to DERAIL from the truth, than what God has done in you in Christ Jesus; and also, on matters that SUBTRACT you or from you, that DIVIDES you, decreases and limits you; and matters that will not add, multiply and increase you in life and godly living.

Satan may not be everywhere at the same time to place a demand on you in particular, but there are cohorts of Satan outworking in our place of doing life – Home, Church, Shopping Centres, Market Places, Workplaces, Business and Governmental Places, Political Places and Contract Signing Places and such like. And that means, as the scripture enjoin that we should be smartly vigilant and sensitive and alert and be guard against the cohorts acts of operandi, otherwise you be PARTAKER of their intent and may become a VICTIM in regret for not saying the “NO” to their suggestions instead of the “YES” you gave by word or actioned in kind.

“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, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

An emboldened PRINCIPLE must be upheld in our day to day life in this world in order to say a “NO” to cohorts intent, otherwise you will live a life of fear, intimidation, guilt, shame, inferiority and regret for not saying the needed “NO” to the divers lustful temptations that appears before you now and then – James 1:13-15; James 4:1-3; Proverbs 4:23.  And there’s an enabling grace within you to say “NO” in the light of the scripture of Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY lives in this present age . . .” Titus 2:11-15 NIV

Being EMBOLDENED to say “NO” when it MATTERS, it’s an attributes of God’s grace in you. It saves you from troubles and all forms of regrets; and then heals, delivers, secures, directs, strengthens, equips, empowers; and it does many more such like attributes of graciousnesss and gracefulness for your goodness, in one’s act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s time not to fall traps of sentiments that the ENEMY and COHORTS in their crafty act, will use to lure you out of FAITH through FEARS, INTIMIDATION and the like, into things you know very well, that you will not normally say “YES” to, and which in world of God’s knowledge deserves a big fat answer that spells “NO” at any time and at such moment of presentation before you – knowingly and unknowingly.

Therefore I say to you:

DARE TO SAY A “NO” WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS – IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT BE SORRY OR REGRET OR APOLOGETIC – IN SAYING A “NO” TO ANY – NO MATTER THEIR STANDS AND STATUS IN LIFE.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should TEACH. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘YES’ BE ‘YES,’ AND YOUR ‘NO,’ ‘NO.’ For whatever is more than these is from the EVIL ONE” Matthew 5:34-37 (NKJV)

“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “YES” BE “YES,” AND YOUR “NO,” “NO,” lest you fall into judgment” James 5:12 (NKJV).

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—WAS NOT YES AND NO, BUT IN HIM WAS YES. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YES, AND IN HIM AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22 (NKJV).

“No temptation has OVERTAKEN you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV).

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 AND HE GAVE SOME, APOSTLES; and SOME, PROPHETS; and SOME, EVANGELISTS; and SOME, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (NATURING , MATURING) 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 4:7-16.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:27-21; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-40; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12].

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

By Leave a Comment

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: CHRIST JESUS IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD!

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR, because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

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

When persons or rather people don’t know the genuine POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus stead, they give into SORCERIES and BEWITCHING. And over the years many have found themselves into such bondages as the Scriptures says in Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13-15, that my people perish for lack of knowledge and had become prey and captives and have gone further into captivity for lack of knowledge. And I know exactly what it all means.

It’s for this lack of knowledge that a whole city of Samaria in Bible days was held in captivity and BEWITCHED with SORCERIES because a man called Simon and not Christ Jesus, was considered to be the great POWER of God. And multitude became victims and prey to this outrageous acts of SORCERIES and BEWITCHING by a man that held them as PREY and in CAPTIVITY for a very long, long time.

Take a look today and picture, how many have taken similar seating position in many supposed believer’s life by the accordance they give to these fallible men as to have the great POWER of God than to Christ Jesus in the fulness of the activities been carried out about them. And unfortunately, like Simon, these fallible men allowed these applaud of what they are not, to happen and keeping happening because they know that the people are BEWITCHED by their SORCERIES acts knowingly and unknowingly.

It’s for these acts and route of attributing the POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus to men, that cause God to let King Herod to be eaten up with worms when he allowed himself to be consumed by the applaud of men in Acts 12:20-24. That single act of God as happened also to Simon in Acts 8:18-24 with sharp and heavy handed rebuke, for wanting to buy the Holy Spirit with money in order to maintain his status, was needful then and more today, so that the the genuine POWER and the WORD of God which is of Christ Jesus, could multiply in the hearts of men rather than the falsehood of these fallible men that’s BEWITCHING by SORCERIES, the creation of God as it was of Simon of Samaria.

Therefore, think and ponder today, if you are one of those attributing the POWER of God which is of Christ Jesus to a man, thereby leading them to errors; also, if you are one of the men as Simon and king Herod, receiving the accordance of the POWER of God, which is of Christ Jesus as yours, in order to maintain and keep the status of your pride and arrogance, in bewitching the people with that act, practice and scheme that you are using which is unknown to your followers.

“. . . 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“For 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

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR, because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“. . . 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the GREAT POWER of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself BELIEVED also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done . . .” Acts 8:1-24.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no POWER but of God: the POWERS that be are ORDAINED of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake . . .” Romans 13:1-10.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, ARRAYED in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he GAVE NOT God the glory: and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost. 24 But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:20-24.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure:and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE: YOU WILL THEN STAND IN THE PLACE OF HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY, OPPORTUNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29.

You are a PRODUCT of your life PATH. It’s not the end that justify the means as popularly said, but in essence, in life and in the kingdom of God principles, it’s the PATH that defines your eventual outcome.

You tomorrow is a product of your today. Your DILIGENCE PATH in your TODAY will surely evolve the KING in you for today and TOMORROW. So THINK and AUGUST your life rightly in grace and godliness.

God rewards DILIGENCE. Make it your footsteps and footprints to greatness. Keep at bay the MEAN – OBSCURED and UNPRODUCTIVE life game.

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE

By Leave a Comment

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE: TO BE EITHER A THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT!

“. . . 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself . . .” Exodus 19:3-6.

To August your Worlds by the Word of Faith is about determining the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy in life day to day in Christ Jesus stead. It’s in your account and power to choose to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself with or to be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow and see.

You can either govern your Worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH or be governed by the CIRCUMSTANCES and PHILOSOPHIES that are in the world around you as Apostle Paul warns young Timothy against exposure and sphere. 1 Timothy 1:1-20.

The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme, dignity, grandeur, majestic, venerable, eminent, grand and lordly. Meaning to AUGUST is – to be dignified, to be reverend, to be admired, to be majestic, eminent, venerable, grand and more.

Jesus has lifted you from the bottom to the top. Brought us out of the merry clay into His banqueting table, and His banner over us is LOVE. It’s not enough to know it, you need to actualised it into reality. That’s where THE WORD OF FAITH comes into play. You can either live by assumptions and presumptions and self-made notions or by THE WORD OF FAITH.

I beg you to august your path as a THERMOSTAT, so that you can have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness. Give it a thought and be richly blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to august your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH. It’s in your hand to COLOUR your worlds of operations and life exploration COLOURFULLY; and thereby THRIVING and FLOURISHING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING, REJUVENATING and GLOWING, knowing that the JUSTIFIED in God by Christ Jesus shall LIVE by his FAITH – Romans 5:2-2; Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 11:1-3).

It’s in this regards of THE WORD OF FAITH,  that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born and to fulfill in him as the Father of many nations – Romans 4:17-22; Genesis 12:1-5. It’s by THE WORD OF FAITH, acting as a THERMOSTAT not as a THERMOMETER, that he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will acclaimed also in the Holy Writ:  “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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped) by THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3 AMPLIFIED.

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 8:8-13.

“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 11:6.

“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 5:4-5.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a KINGDOM of priests, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

ORDER YOUR STEP RIGHT: YOU WILL AUGUST YOUR LIFE ALRIGHT!

“The STEPS of a good man are ORDERED by the Lord: and he DELIGHTETH in his WAY. 24 Though he FALL, he shall not be UTTERLY cast down: for the Lord UPHOLDETH him with his hand” Psalm 37:23-24.

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

By Leave a Comment

THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundation basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any forms of persecutions, in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping the satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH  in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists in the BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through these four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – Gods righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
  2. FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensures that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
  3. The UNSEEN: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, help ensures one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond a mere sight before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
  4. DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensures a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensures and to be assures that the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEW’S (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILE’S (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jew’s and the born of God Gentile’s [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway”

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“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.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 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 1:9-12.

“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 OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.
