FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because, you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly  are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGER with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly the Scriptures accredites the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same, meaning are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister To God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD where BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God don’t live His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass of any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results is to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seems to be EXAMINE indicates erroneous, ignorance, proud, rude, self egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINE in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHET’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of been not an adent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practice, because it’s unbiblical and unscriptural, they results to FORTUNE TELL (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“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.

STAY ON YOUR LANE – DON’T COMPARE OR COMPETE

STAY ON YOUR LANE – DON’T COMPARE OR COMPETE: THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR OWN STORY AND STORYLINE!

“For we DARE NOT make ourselves of the number, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

BE YOU IN LIFE AND GRACE – GODLY LIVING. BECOME WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE. BE MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLED IN THE PURPOSE AND CAUSE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN YOU!

AND SAY AMEN.

My wife sent this highly recommended lovely read below by BEN CARSON this morning to me. I pray you get wisdom from it as you read it too. It’s inspiring and empowering.

**BEN CARSON WROTE:**

I was jogging this morning, and I noticed a person about ½ a kilometer ahead. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him. I had about a kilometer before I needed to turn off. So, I started running faster and faster.

Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him.

Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. “I beat him” Of course, he didn’t even know we were racing.

After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my house. I had gone nearly six blocks past my house and I had to turn and go back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important?

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God-given destinies.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.

But realize that “You can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone.”

Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and driving.

Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you’ll be blessed by it. Stay focused and live a healthy life. There is no competition in Destiny.

*RUN YOUR OWN RACE AND WISH OTHERS WELL TOO*

Good day all, please have a wonderful and restful day. Keep yourself safe please.

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP

By Leave a Comment

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP: BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the SONS of God” Romans 8:14.

The realm of SONSHIP in Christ is not for those who merely or just have the Spirit within, but it’s a realm for those who are LED by His presence. Are you being LED by Him on a day to day or you just have Him only for a keep or whenever.

Sonship in this context is a non-gender. Being a CHILD of God is good and great. It only offers you entrance as a baby under tutors and guidance; but in the realm of being a SON – SONSHIP, is wherein you exercise dominion, exercise authority based on PRINCIPLES, and you define your life by wisdom which is of plan, purpose and pursuit statuesque in Christ Jesus; the realm of a SON – SONSHIP, it’s a position that’s endowed with trust and integrity, diligence and prudence, reverential fear and love, responsibility and accountability,  grace and speed, truth and righteousness, willingness and obedience, wisdom and virtue, charisma and character, and such like. The intent is to become God’s ambassador and representative on earth, thereby advancing God’s Kingdom causes on earth and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, and that’s in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

By being LED by Him – the Holy Spirit of TRUTH, you unveil yourself to the realm of REVELATION on the written and unwritten WORD of God which I call the working ACTS of the HOLY SPIRIT within. For SONSHIP POSITION is about being LED by the Holy Spirit through our human spirit on the WORD of God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye RECONCILED to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that HE may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the SONS of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together . . . 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:14-17, 28/Emphasis Mine.

“But you have an ANOINTING from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially GIFTED and PREPARED by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the TRUTH because He TEACHES us, ILLUMINATES our minds, and GUARDS us from error]. . . 27 As for you, the ANOINTING [the special gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him REMAINS [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, [a]you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:20, 27 (AMPLIFIED).

“. . . 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:6-10 (Emphasis Mine).

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is under TUTORS and GOVERNORS until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were CHILDREN, were in bondage under the ELEMENTS of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of SONS. 6 And because YE ARE SONS, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a SERVANT, but a SON; and if a SON, then an HEIR of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE (LAMP, SEARCHLIGHT), of the Lord, SEARCHING (EXAMINING) all the inward parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27 Emphasis Mine.

“But there is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and man BECAME a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.

“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the DIVIDING (CUTTING) ASUNDER (SEPARATION) of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of THE JOINTS and MARROW, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the HEART. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY (SET APART) you WHOLLY (COMPLETELY); and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT (SUBCONSCIOUS, SEARCHLIGHT, CANDLE, LAMP) and SOUL (WILL, MIND, EMOTION, REASONING FACULTY, CONSCIOUS YOU) and BODY (THE JOINTS and MARROW) be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Emphasis Mine).

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT: THE INVESTMENT COST IN WORTH AND EFFECT – IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

May I begin by saying to you in respect of the context and subject of this writ for you to understand – knowingly and unknowingly, acceptably or unacceptably – that you are God created and made, irrespective of whatever your perception is for now, today or tomorrow [Genesis 2:7]. And that, you are living by the breathe of God and there’s no hiding place for you beyond the reach of God as He indeed crafted you and have all about your being make up documented in His book of life [Psalms 139:1-18]. And it’s a high time to take stock and consider your investment [daily, weekly, monthly and yearly] on your priceless SPIRIT BEING in comparison to your PHYSICAL BEING for the good of your well-being in life and grace as a wise business investor on a TREASURED FIELD and PRECIOUS PEARL.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a FIELD; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that FIELD. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a MERCHANT man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.

MAN IS A LIVING SPIRIT BEING; and there’s the need to know and understand for sure, in essence and context, that the MAN (non-gender in terms) in the HU-MAN that makes the being is a subconscious entity, and has an entity of consciousness which is the soul being, and together lives in an entity which is the HU (HUMUS), else, is clay, sand or dust – the body – the physical being which we all see and decorate like nothing else. And these separate entities together makes the living HUMAN being as written in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be PRESERVED blameless at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/NKJV.

The real you – the MAN being, is the being that’s giving you life; and it’s eternal and lives by God’s BREATH and can’t die; while the BODY is your physical being, housing your spirit being, and it depends on OXYGEN to be alive, hence it’s subject to die – that means it can decay no matter what. And when the human dies, the eternal spirit being MAN returns back to the creator God while the decayed BODY return back to the HU (humus) of the HU-MAN – (clay, sand, dust). So what makes the real being is the MAN being of the HU-MAN being, which is the spirit being in you. Genesis 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4.

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

“But there is a spirit in MAN, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES him understanding” Job 32:8 NKJV.

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life” Job 33:4 NKJV.

“The spirit of a MAN is the LAMP of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INNER DEPTHS of his HEART” Proverbs 20:27 NKJV.

Have you for once, intentionally and pragmatically consider what it does COST in – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE and SUCH LIKE? And more so, of the corresponding and expected WORTH and EFFECT on PHYSICAL TRAINING/EXERCISE for your PHYSICAL well-being? You can only understand my concept and perception when you take note of the Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Millions and Billions and such like financial cost that are spent respectively by individuals and or corporations, governments and charities – just to keep the human physical body fit and to ensure a healthy physical well being of the individual and society. And yes, in all these continuous investment in cost, the Scriptures does indicate, it ONLY PROFIT OR WORTH JUST A LITTLE IN PHYSICAL TERMS – which is relative in a way as to the whole outcome in terms of the CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state of the Individuals and society at large.

“. . . TRAIN YOURSELF TOWARD GODLINESS (piety), [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is USEFUL and of value in EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY, for it HOLDS promise for the PRESENT life and also for the life which is to COME.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified..

And as a challenge, could you imagine such cost in TIME, EFFORT and FINANCE as in PHYSICAL BEING training is spent in terms, on the SPIRIT BEING training by – an Individuals, and or corporations, governments and charities?. I mean the expected worth in returns in CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state to Individual and society at large. Let say if and when 30 percent are invested in the TRAINING of the SPIRIT BEING MAN . . . I can assure how it will lead to the good and goodness of a COMPLETE and total WHOLENESS of the – spirit, soul and body. I can guarantee you that the consequential result will be enormous, incomprehensible and unimaginable; and it’s  WORTH will have the PRESENT, FUTURE AND ETERNAL EFFECT in an individual and society at large for the good of all.

Today, take a look within you, in all your POSSESSIONS, how much of it defines your SPIRIT MAN well-being in comparison to your PHYSICAL well-being. That’s the essence of this post.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV.

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are open and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified.

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

“. . . 13 For thou hast POSSESSED MY REINS:thou hast COVERED ME IN MY MOTHER’S WOMB. 14 I will praise thee; FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 THINE EYES DID SEE MY SUBSTANCE, YET BEING UNPERFECT; AND IN THY BOOK ALL MY MEMBERS WERE WRITTEN, WHICH IN CONTINUANCE WERE FASHIONED, WHEN AS YET THERE WAS NONE OF THEM. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee” Psalms 139:1-18.

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

By Leave a Comment

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in errors, being mistaken and taken up as a PREY, and becoming the VICTIM of the ENEMY, and COHORTS, because of one’s knowingly or unknowingly shade of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 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 4:1, 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 . . . “ Isaiah 5:11-16.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing will otherwise expose you to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lion and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Minister’s of God while there are under the enclave of satan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world about you toward God’s Word to avoid walking in error. You need to INTENTIONALLY  and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – to enable you to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s the place of honour, dignity and nobility that was found in the believers of Berea in Acts 17:19-13.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD?

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD” Amos 8:11.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Living in spiritual drought? It’s time to do something about it. Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“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.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a results of these monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of it’s existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17), which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (Amos 8:11-14).

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – (1 Peter 5:8-11). And when you feed healthily our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

It’s time as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to exercise the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOURING for warfare –

and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and COHORTS WILES and ASSAULT.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY (VICTORIOUSLY): for He it is that shall TREAD (TRAMPLED) DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12 Emphasis Mine.

It may not surprise you on how much yearly in budgetary investment that’s showcase for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE mechanism along with the training of their combatants military forces are safely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to ensure the measure of warning signs on their national neighbourhoods and competitors on how prepared they are in any battle’s that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere and while others are on terrorism’s of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at wars naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or your are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatenings and others are at an international war investment in various continent of the world. In each case WEAPONRY are involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nation’s, life’s are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. This natural wars and warfare’s are at vast difference from the  wars and warfare’s which the unparalleled army’s of God in Christ Jesus is engaged with; and are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God in Christ Jesus –  the weaponry weapons in use for warfare are not carnal – meaning are not man-made or humanly crafted. The weaponry weapons in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; and are spiritual made as an OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare are spiritual and not fought or battle in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour are expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always readily ready to triumph in Christ Jesus stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church of Ephesus. It’s by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we can be able to stand AGAINST the enemy and cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armouring for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and cohorts mode of operandi – atevery and all their forms of manifestations, against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus in order to enact, authentic and put the weapons and armouring into use to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it’s been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead.

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

For when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercise or utilised, and misused, the enemy rule and reign – hence there are many REDEEMED today that are still struggling in their walk and work with God, for not their inability to EXERCISE or be EXERCISING the SURELY and ASSURED weaponry weapon to bring ALL the works of the enemy and cohorts down as Jesus and the early Disciples – called Apostles did exercise ahead of time before us all Christ Jesus stead.For we are enjoined in this scripture to:

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not CARRYING ON our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are DIVINELY POWERFUL for the destruction of fortresses.5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall rise AGAINST thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

Herein are some major spiritual weaponry or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realised our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

** a. EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL

ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.

** b. EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith

declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23;

Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13 (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12);

Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1

Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.

** c. EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts

4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.

** d. EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12;

Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.

** e. EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2;

2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.

** f. EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.

** g. EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODE of OPERANDI that are scriptural known in use by satanic and cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and cohort wiles as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and COHORTS wiles and mode of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note about them and the how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

  1. AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.

ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7.

  1. AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.

ANTIDOTE: Matthew 7:16, 20.

  1. AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died – yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force that’s universally located and stationed – and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and all these in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit through His UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – *S. Baring-Gould*

The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in everyway of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM; and thus endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS, irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); 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. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11;

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails, it takes a spirited combatant Militant-Like Soldier stand to combat to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry weapon is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in in Christ Jesus all things and flesh – animate and inanimate are subdued and SUBJECTION to the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army. (John 17:2; John 13:3; Philippians 3:20-21; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 10:17-20).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on THE BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to WIN MY BATTLES. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, NOT THOSE MADE BY MEN, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these WEAPONS I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT THE FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise AGAINST thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be BROKEN in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR GOD IS WITH US. 11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, to all them to whom this people shall say, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 SANCTIFY the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . . . 16 BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY: IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM . . .” Isaiah 8:9-22

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

“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 16:18.

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

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

“For 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.

“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. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 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.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to THE WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

PRAYING FOR YOU

PRAYING FOR YOU: FOR AN EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION TO LIFE AND GRACE MATTERS!

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in THE POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

To be EFFECTUAL is to be successful in accomplishing – producing or being capable of producing – a desired or intended result. It thus means that an EFFECTUAL FAITH COMMUNICATION is utmost important to your thriving, flourishing and fulfilment if you must experience a MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING living as a Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Recall that our Saviour and Lord, in His humanity was communicating graciousness against all odds to silence the religion and sectarianism of His days and to indicate how to communicate on earthly affairs with heavenly by the mystery of FAITH.

“And ALL BARE Him (Jesus) WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

And to COMMUNICATE is to – speak, say, talk, declare, announce – forth to life MATTERS – challenges and situations, by your FAITH on the WORD of God, in Christ Jesus stead, in order to get an EFFECTUAL results. For FAITH is to act correspondingly on what you BELIEVE of the WORD of God accordingly in context. FAITH is active while to believe is passive. And to BELIEVE is to be pregnant with the WORD which by exercising FAITH, content in context have to deliver unhindered.

“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.

That matter and or the matter of life that appears as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACE – are classed as long standing obstacles, to your path to an effectual and a successful well-being. And for your meaningful triumph and victory, it needs a FAITH COMMUNICATION to ensure you have an EFFECTUAL – productive and results oriented – atmosphere in your PURPOSEFUL walk of faith in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 11:23-24.

And to COMMUNICATE to your life MATTERS – challenges and situations, is the only means for an EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE) results that’s free of sorrow, stress and sweat, in matters of doing life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. All this is simply because the VICTORY and TRIUMPH has been DONE – meaning A DONE DEED – in Christ Jesus, and ours is to live daily in affirmative to ENACT and AUTHENTIC it by TESTIFYING to it through the ACKNOWLEDGING (ACKNOWLEDGEMENT) of the good done in us by God in Christ Jesus. 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 of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

It’s upon this KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING I thereby pray for you today in this SCRIPTURAL context above as Apostle Paul did pray for Philemon to come to the knowledge and understanding of having an EFFECTUAL result in all live dealings in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s how to have the Abraham BELIEVE and FAITH to turn around the natural law on the womb of Sarah to give birth again after time is past to do so – in calling by – saying, declaring, announcing, proclaiming – those THINGS that be not as though there were.

“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.

“(as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE” Romans 4:17.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the Lord; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be exalted And every MOUNTAIN and hill brought low; The CROOKED PLACES shall be made straight And the ROUGH PLACES smooth; 5 The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the Lord has spoken” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“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.

“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.

“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 10:8-13.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23).

“Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, AND CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:16-25.

BE BOUNDLESS IN GOD’S LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS: AS THE CHURCH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

“. . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US . . .” Romans 5:1-21.

The CHURCH that Christ Jesus died to raise as his own and he’s coming back to take as his own is the CHURCH that’s BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE by the HOLY SPIRIT given to us. And you ARE that Church knowingly or unknowingly if you are born of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

This Church that I know, that Christ DIED to RAISE as His own and He’s coming back to TAKE as His own, it’s the Church – WITHOUT WALLS and BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE and shared lavishly and abroad in our hearts – spirit being, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us in Him. And it’s embodiment entails ONENESS in all things besides the constituent and diverse members. It’s the Church were greed and selfishness have no place; it’s the Church where segregation by race, colour, class, status and tongue have no place; and ALL are welcome, beautified and celebrated. It’s the Church without self-centredness and are mirrored in the ONENESS of the *WE* and not the *I* and *THEM*.

The ONENESS is unique in the BLESSEDNESS and have MADE us as:

** One Body

** One Faith

** One Lord

** One God

** One people

** One Nation

** One Body

** One Hope

** One Love

** One Calling

** One Baptism

** One REDEMPTION For ALL

** One Spirit

** One Christ

** One Father

** Father God Above All

** Father God Through All

** And Father God In All

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; 5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, 6 ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:4-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

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

“Therefore become IMITATORS of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also LOVED you and GAVE Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance” Ephesians 5:1-2 (Amplified).

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS

IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: YOU ARE PREDESTINED TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“. . . 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before hims in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will . . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-14.

You’ve been PREDESTINATED of God’s own will in Christ Jesus, to succeed in life and grace. For to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED purposefully and meaningfully with God’s enabling grace in order for you to SUCCEED, THRIVE, COLOUR, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and such like, in all about doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I remembered hearing and reading this phrase below years ago that helps to inspire my scriptural search and thinking of Ecclesiastes 3:11, enabling and assuring to my self discovery and recovery as summed up in this wisdom nugget by DR Myles MUNROE of Blessed Memory:

“The Creator HID your future where He knew you could not miss it . . . INSIDE you. Don’t go to your DESTINY . . . BECOME it” – DR Myles MUNROE (BFMI) of Blessed Memory.

This wisdom concept could be explicitly shared in the Scriptures of which Ecclesiastes 3:11 gives more light to many as written:

“He has made EVERYTHING beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, EXCEPT God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

Stop looking and pursuing for your DESTINY – For your DESTINY is in YOU and you are your DESTINY. You BECOME what you make of yourself. Stop holding others RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for your well being. Rise up, look within, and become the you in you that God has MADE wonderfully and reverentially to succeed in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . For You did form my inward parts; You did knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was being formed in secret [and] intricately and curiously wrought [as if embroidered with various colors] in the depths of the earth [a region of darkness and mystery]. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your BOOK ALL THE DAYS [OF MY LIFE] WERE WRITTEN before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them . . .” Psalms 139:1-18/AMP Classic Edition.

You have to give meaning to your inner being quest and voice. The quest and voice within you could be the most sort out Carpenter, Plumber, Teacher, Educator, Carer, Leader, Administrator, Minister, Medical, Politician, Events Organiser, Baker, Farmer, Painter, Engineer, Technologist, Social worker, Designer, Decorator, Salesperson and such like that your Community and your World are craving to have to sort their human needs.

Know for such there’s an unction within you to function and though your beginning may be little – small, your later end could be the answer to the quest and needs of all humans, when you give it a start – 1 John 2:20, 27; Job 8:7; Zachariah 4:10. Your Family, Community, Nation and World are all waiting for your revealing – the manifestation of the you that’s within you – Romans 8:19.

You have been PREDESTINATED to BECOME – Stop running about for a SPECIAL DESTINY PRAYERS.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO BECOME IT. JUST BE WHO YOU ARE MADE TO BE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

“For all the PROMISES of God IN HIM ARE YEA, and IN HIM AMEN, unto the glory of God by us. 21 Now he which STABLISHETH US with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED US, is God; 22 who hath also SEALED US, and GIVEN THE EARNEST OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
