MIRRORING YOUR WELL-BEING BY GOD’S LOVE: LOVING THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS!

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

Mirroring God’s LOVE in our lives, should be every believer’s earnest desired intent and expectations to live along with in their respective day-to-day walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The question then is, how would you do it? How do you do it? And how are you doing it in your day-to-day living thus far? Is it through the eyes of your DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church sectarian by-laws and creeds or as done in the WORLD dominated definition or you are DOING it through the EYES and FACE of Christ in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God as in the Scriptures?

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6 Amplified.

LOVING through KNOWLEDGE in the EYES and FACE of JESUS by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us, is the essence of FULFILLING scriptures and being FULFILLED in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 . . .  8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

If you do mirror your essence of God’s love in order to do life through the eyes of the DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church as by their set by-laws and creeds and or the WORLD definition as seen in today’s view, I promised you this verily, that you will be stigmatised, lock in dogmas, creed and self-centered; more so, you will eventually be full of any or all of these: RELIGION-MADE, SECTARIANISM, SELF-MADE and MAN-MADE, with it’s bondages and captivity which are as ascertain from all sorts, and may seems good in human eyes but full of sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in every perception and life dealings; and the worst of it is that, it’s not healthy and gracious for a godly living before the God of LOVE in in the knowledge of Christ Jesus stead as SCRIPTURALLY enjoined.

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19/AMP.

For when you mirror God’s love from and through the saving gracious KNOWLEDGE on the eyes and face of Christ Jesus, in order to do life and live godly, I can verily promise you, that you will be LIBERATED from all forms of bondage and captivity, and you will eventually – have be WHOLEHEARTEDLY experiencing WHOLENESS in your triune being of spirit, soul and body; and God’s love in Christ Jesus will take hold of you in all way to do life and live FULFILLING scriptures – BLESSEDLY, MEANINGFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY.

“Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality . . .” Romans 12:9-21 Amplified.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from the eyes of Christ Jesus if you dare desire to genuinely live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE – wholesomely, purposefully and meaningfully.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE is of God; and everyone who LOVES is born of God and knows God.  8 He who DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE.  9 In this the LOVE of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM.  10 In this is LOVE, not that we LOVED God, but that He LOVED us and sent His Son to be the PROPITIATION for our sins.  11 Beloved, if God so LOVED us, we also ought to LOVE one another” 1 John 4:7-11.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED THEM UNTO THE END . . . 34 A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1, 34-35.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:1-2.

“God, who at SUNDRY TIMES and in DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath APPOINTED heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“. . . 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:14-19 Amplified.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS THE ANSWER OF GOD’S LOVED WORLD TO THE SPHERE AND QUESTIONS OF AN EVIL-WICKED-AND-HATED-WORLD TODAY!

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another HELPER (Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby), to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the WORLD cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not SEE Him or KNOW Him, but you KNOW Him because He (the Holy Spirit) remains WITH you continually and will be IN you” John 14:16-17/AMP.

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violent and more in our world today? There’s an ANSWER. The ANSWER is by ensuring in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, that God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, becomes our FUNDAMENTAL and PRINCIPLED guidance in all essence of living godly and doing life.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed in 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man to ensure that we triumph always all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste And Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD.

“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.

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE

By Leave a Comment

TAKING THE STOCK OF YOUR LIFE ON GOD’S WORD BY LOVE: AND LOVING TO DO GOD’S WORD BY LOVE AND NOT AS A BURDEN – THAT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“By this we know that we LOVE the children of God, when we LOVE God and keep His commandments.  3 For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP His COMMANDMENTS. And His commandments are not BURDENSOME (GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD, DIFFICULT)” 1 John 5:2-3/Emphasis Mine.

Do you always take stock on your obedience to God’s WORD? and do you DO God’s WORD in LOVE? And if Yea – that’s GREAT and COMMENDABLE. However, the essence of the questions or questioning it’s summed up in this, that by LOVING to DO and be DOING God’s WORD of commands in LOVE is a hallmark of doing the WORD effectually, efficiently, effortlessly, selflessly and without sweat and guilt; more so, considering always in principle, that God’s WORD is not GRIEVOUS, IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, TROUBLESOME, HARD and DIFFICULT to practice when taken in a spirited and hearted act of LOVE approach. I can boldly say to you today, that, DOING God’s WORD by LOVE, makes all the difference in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It must be noted that God is not a taskmaster, hence His COMMANDS are not an ADVICE, they are genuine, faithful, true, sure, real and empowering. He will always COMMEND what He COMMAND when it’s obediently taken and done in LOVE. And God’s intent it’s always for our good and to help and to give leverage to us in our godly living and doing life in all circumstances. And when LOVING by God’s WORD, life is liveable, loveable, reachable and enjoyable in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and NOT FOR DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE. 12 Then you will CALL on Me and you will come and PRAY to Me, and I will HEAR [your voice] and I will LISTEN to you” Jeremiah 29:11-12 Amplified.

A WILLING and OBEDIENT hearts of LOVE towards God’s WORD, it’s all it takes to eat the good out of the Kingdom. This is all possible:

** When LOVE and LOVING is not taken or done with a DUTY hearts as if God is a TASKMASTER.

** When you KNOW that God have not TASKED MASTERING you in LOVE to tempt you with an obligation He knows it’s impossible for you and any to do.

** When you understand that God is not out to see you FAIL in LOVE, in order that He might punish you to suit Himself well and good.

Therefore, by taking STOCK on God’s WORD in LOVE, and LOVING to DO God’s WORD by LOVE – should not be seen as a BURDEN – but as God’s avenue in grace for your good, knowing that it’s in the doing in love that – MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE – for an EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT walk with God in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

If God demands of your finance, time, talent/skill, and whatever to be given of you for His Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy at bay – it’s WORTH doing it in the LOVE for God and His work on earth rather than doing it as an obligation and duty in fear. Even in matters of NECESSITY as Apostle Paul would say in regards to the call of God upon His life – still do it in love and not in fear of bondage. For perfect love cast out fear PHOBIAS. Let God’s love rules and reigns supreme in your world as is in His world.

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] LOVE and seek the best for one another, for LOVE is from God; and everyone who LOVES [others] is BORN of God and KNOWS God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who DOES NOT LOVE has not become ACQUAINTED with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is LOVE. [He is the ORIGINATOR of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] . . . 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], LOVE is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have CONFIDENCE in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so ARE WE in this world. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) LOVE DRIVES OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:7-8, 17-18 Amplified.

“For though I PREACH the gospel, I have NOTHING to glory of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH not the gospel! 17 For if I DO this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is committed unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.

I PRAY that as you take STOCK in doing life and living godly, may you do it by God’s WORD by LOVE; and may you maintain consistency in the realm and sphere by LOVE, and be doing God’s WORD by LOVE – and not as a BURDEN – while making all the difference.

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS

HIS LIGHT IN OUR DARKNESS: HE’S THE LIGHT TO DISPEL EVERY DARKNESS!

“O house of Jacob, COME YE, and let us WALK IN THE LIGHT of the Lord” Isaiah 2:5.

LIGHT indicates and signifies the hallmark of Development, Progress, Freedom, Victory, Triumph, Illumination, Enlightenment, Productivity, Fulfilment, Purposeful Living, Colourful Living, Meaningful Living and such like. And when one gets into the LIGHT that Christ is and provides, and start acting on His WORD in that LIGHT, it’s apparent, one will receive illumination and enlightenment against all forms of DARKNESS as it’s written:

“Then spoke Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world; he that follows me shall not WALK in DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of LIFE” – John 8:12.

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

Until one finds light in the light that Lord Jesus Christ is and provides, there can’t be true illumination and enlightenment from darkness. You are as FREE from any forms of DARKNESS by the illumination and enlightenment you have RECEIVED in you of Christ Jesus, who is the Saviour, Lord and King. Amen.

To HAVE and WALK in Christ Jesus LIGHT is to WALK in His WORD.  And when you find the LIGHT of Christ Jesus in you, ‘THAT’ DARKNESS in your – Marriage, Marital Choices, Relationship,  Finance, Career, Ministry, Leadership and more – will disperse and dispel with ease by the power and grace in Christ light. And you will know and experience what it means to have a life without sweat, stress, pressure and depression. Christ light indicates God’s favour, wisdom and speed to thrive, succeed, triumph, overcome and win victoriously in His leisure and with meaningful fulfillment.

When you resolved even now, being today, to allow and follow Christ Jesus light, you will never walk in darkness, but His light will illuminates and enlighten every darkness, so that you can see all about you that pertains to doing life and living godly in God’s divine Plan, Purpose and Pursuit in you.

It’s time to COLOUR and RAINBOW your life with the LIGHT that’s in and of Christ Jesus. Be Blessed in Life and Godliness in the LIGHT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

“O house of Jacob, COME YE, and let us WALK IN THE LIGHT of the Lord” Isaiah 2:5.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE (ILLUMINATION): in thy PRESENCE (LIGHT) is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND (RIGHTEOUSNESS) there are pleasures (FULFILMENT) for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis/Paraphrase Mine)

“For God, who COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to GIVE the LIGHT of the knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS comprehended it not” John 1:1-5

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore CAST OFF THE WORKS OF DARKNESS, and let us PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying” Romans 13:11-13.

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is LIGHT, and in him is NO DARKNESS at all. 6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and WALK IN DARKNESS, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we WALK IN THE LIGHT, as he is in the LIGHT, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, AND HIS WORD IS NOT IN US” 1 John 1:5-10.

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME

By Leave a Comment

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!

You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance TOWARD God, and faith TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self indulgence, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohorts mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7.

These sets of SELF-MADE-UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors, are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made up creeds, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel. 1 Timothy 1:1-11.

PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to LEAD and LEADERSHIP of God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self-gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.

Also, you are either sent by God as John the Baptist and the Disciples as in the Gospel days or you are your own sending. God does call and send [John 1:6-36; Mark 6:7-13]. Those he called and send, He keeps and protects and defends. It’s not about liking the Ministerial outfits but being called and sent forth should be paramount.  Send forth could be to a person to enhance the calling or to a people, or to a generation or to a dispensation or to a community or to a special group of people. You must know the definition of the calling and sending before taking a step because of the warfare and many uncertainty and unknown in cause and course of that obedience demands without having any reason to regrets your step of faith to advance the kingdom of our God and to keep the Enemy and cohorts at bay.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) 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 (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.

“There was a man SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:1-36.

“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he SAID unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” Mark 6:7-13.

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY: LET’S MAKE THE GIVING SPIRIT – RULE THE DAY IN OUR WORLDS!

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory: 9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” 1 Peter 1:6-9.

I know sometimes it’s difficult to be out there for someone else when you are going through some personal challenges that are overwhelming too. But I have come to know and understand by God in Christ Jesus, that an exceeding great JOY – is experience in the love act of GIVING first to others, before the our trinity self which I called – I, Me and Myself, otherwise ascribed sometimes as the me, me and me. The word JOY to me means J for JESUS – as the first, O for OTHERS as the next and Y for YOURSELF as the last. And I’ve found JOY indescribable and absolutely thrilling ever since I have learnt this act in my doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead through the years. And I highly recommend it’s application to you without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, and it’s irrespective to whoever and whatever.

For the act of love and loving, is embedded in the spirit of GIVING to others first, hence, God so love that He GAVE first and the best, not leftovers and rejects. That’s the how to kill the selfishness and selfish spirit in you and about you, in order to make love purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling.

“For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

Therefore, TODAY, while and when it’s called TODAY, think about what’s that GOOD and GOODNESS of you in terms of – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL – that you can GIVE to make a huge and great difference in someone else’s life without complaining and murmuring. That’s what love and loving is all about – in giving to someone else’s first, before the you-self trinity within. Endeavour to give it a go today and even now.

As said earlier, the fulness of JOY can be attributed as pleasing JESUS and OTHERS, then YOURSELF. Meaning preferring in this order as said FIRST [J] – Jesus and Second [O] – Others and before You [Y] – Yourself.

The exceeding great JOY of God is of the hearts, born in human spirit of love and loving. Therefore, put an end to SELFISHNESS – and start LOVING, start GIVING today and even now as an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

I do pray that you may experience the exceedingly great and fulness of God’s joy today as you express your acts of love and loving in the GIVING first spirit today.

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

THE UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

When People FAILED badly in life and godliness – it’s not merely for not KNOWING – it’s for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE and CONTEXT of a given cause to them. Hence,  I have always said, and will always say again and again that:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen also, the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. When the assumed rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge born out of opportunities and zealousness without the understanding of the context on what the take on and know-how to sustain the position – it thus fails woefully; in same scenario, if a once poverty stricken person took to knowledge and know-how along with the understanding of the demand to such context, certainly such a person in that journey, will arrive there and live up to the demands to sustain it – and the likely challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter will become irrelevant too.

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

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. That’s why a lack of the knowing and understanding of the purpose of a relationship leads to an abusive – abnormal use – relationship. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you can keep blossoming, refreshing, rekindling and rejuvenating in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the context and etiquette of being a Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant, erroneous and a wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation anything otherwise, God despises and brings to a fall. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL and FINANCE under your watch. It takes INFORMED – knowledgeable and understandable – LEADERS, to LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while the UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. And I say to you today and now – WHICH ARE YOU – A LEADER or A RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING toward a set PRINCIPLE, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you  to not take the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions – also, a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the  needed enabling grace in order to achieve in life under God meaningfully and to be fulfilled in any driven cause too. Also, a lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING to a cause, makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s scripturally GOOD and PROFITABLE in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. I plead with you therefore to pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your about KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY in context of the known thereby achieving meaningfully and purposefully in  fulfillment of ones endeavour. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE WITH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

THE GOSPEL – IS NOT A DOCTRINE

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – IS NOT A DOCTRINE: IT’S THE POWER AND WISDOM OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

“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” 1 Corinthians 1:22-24.

The GOSPEL is about the CROSS, the CROSS is about CHRIST JESUS, and CHRIST JESUS is the POWER and WISDOM of God, and the POWER and WISDOM of God is about human SALVATION – and NOTHING ELSE and NOTHING MORE; otherwise, it’s human BONDAGES and PERVERSION. The Gospel is to PREACH Christ Jesus, who is THE WORD made manifest in the flesh, that brings about COMPLETE and WHOLESOME REDEMPTION of God to all of mankind that looks up to Him. If you must PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER THE GOSPEL then ensure you PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER THE WORD – that is to PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER CHRIST JESUS, then THE WORD which is CHRIST JESUS, the SAVIOUR and LORD, will bring about human SALVATION – the ANSWERS to all human QUEST and CONTROVERSIES.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14.

Therefore, if the Gospel you are hearing or listening to, or receiving, does not LIBERATE you in Christ Jesus stead, throw it into the bin –  discard it, I mean seriously, otherwise, you will end up in more BONDAGES than you anticipated. Your EARS and well being is not made for garbage and as a trash can for ERRONEOUS information but only meant PURELY for the GOSPEL SAYINGS of our God [Proverbs 4:20-23]. The Gospel gives life and meaning to a gracious and graceful living. The GOSPEL brings ABOUT the POWER of God unto human – DELIVERANCE, HEALING, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, SOUNDNESS, VICTORY, PROSPERITY, TRIUMPH, MERCY, FORGIVENESS, JOY AND SUCH LIKE MORE.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with ONE ACCORD GAVE HEED unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the MIRACLES which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY” Acts 8:4-8.

The Apostles, who were the forerunner of the Christ Jesus as Disciples, did nothing but PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED the WORD – ministered Christ Jesus as their sole and only message that transforms all who believes in the Gospel [Acts 8:4-8; 1 Corinthians 15:1-11]. There wasn’t any form to tolerate the GOSPEL adulteration with DOCTRINAL and DENOMINATIONAL sects spirits. For by the GOSPEL, in two years plus, Apostle was able to reach out to the entire Asia of his days, changing and transforming lives toward God and His Christ and not to themselves or religion or denomination as we see today. [Acts 19:10-12].

For the GOSPEL is not a RELIGION, not a DOCTRINE, not a DENOMINATION and more so, not a PROPHECY awaiting to happen to you, nor is it a TRADITIONAL or RELIGIOUS dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy to adhere toward. The Gospel is the life, the very life of Father God, in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, in us. [1 John 4:4-6; Acts 17:28; 1 John 5:7]. As such, FLEE from every contrary and live in the liberty wherein Christ Jesus had MADE you WHOLE and FREE in Father God’s BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also ye ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ DIED for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

And the GOSPEL have been PREACHED to Abraham concerning you by God for over 400 years long before the law came into effect and more so before the days of kings and prophets came into operation. Thus indicating the power and wisdom of God in redemption concerning you in every respect as it’s written:

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” Genesis 12:1-3.

It’s time to ensure you live by the GOSPEL and not by religion, doctrine, denomination creeds and bye-laws, traditional dogmas and sentiments. For the GOSPEL is not in fragmentation. It’s whole, complete and total embraces all about our REDEMPTION ACTS and PROCESSES, and our REDEMPTION RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. And there’s only one GOSPEL of Christ Jesus [Philippians 1:27; 1 Thessalonians 3:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30] and not in any other in fragments as many do today by depicting themselves as being the MINISTER of various sects as having the MINISTRY of – SANCTIFICATION, HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, JUSTIFICATION, DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY and such like. There’s no one single place in the new creation EPISTLES where the Apostle’s fragmented the Gospel into small unit ministry by any form of DOCTRINAL and DENOMINATIONAL sects settings and fragmentations of the GOSPEL of Christ Jesus.

Therefore, PREACH the GOSPEL! TEACH the GOSPEL!! and MINISTER the GOSPEL!!! Do this in wholeness with none of the fragment and fragmentations that’s depict as GOSPEL when indeed it leads to bondages by the man-made DOCTRINAL and DENOMINATIONAL inclination as ministry and calling. Let Christ only be the GOSPEL – [Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9].

And you don’t need DELIVERANCE, you need the GOSPEL. The Gospel brings about deliverance – to set the captives free. And Christ Jesus, who is the GOSPEL is the deliverer that sets the captives free and has DELIVERED us and translated us into the  Kingdom of God by the Gospel we’ve heard [Luke 4:18 (14-22); Colossians 1:12-14]. And when you hear the GOSPEL and believe the GOSPEL, your deliverance is come by the power of the Gospel [Romans 1:16-17]. Only by the Gospel message can deliverance comes to any – any else it’s a mistaken [erroneous] message. [Matthew 22:29].

May God cause you to abound by the Gospel in order to have the fulness of His BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you PUBLICKLY, and from HOUSE TO HOUSE, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“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 Christ SENT me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with wisdom of words, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 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” 1 Corinthians 1:17-24.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

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

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

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye stand; 2 by which also ye ARE SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ DIED for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT!

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually TRANSFORMED, RENEWED, SET APART for His PURPOSE and] ARE the TRUE CIRCUMCISION, who WORSHIP IN the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult IN Christ Jesus and place no confidence [IN what we have or who we are] IN the flesh” Philippians 3:3/AMP.

It is the SYNERGY that’s within that ENERGISES and makes all the DIFFERENCE, and it’s all about these:

* The GRACE Within,
* The FAITH Within,
* The WORD Within,
* The POWER Within.

FOR WE ARE – Saved by GRACE – Lived by FAITH – Sustained and maintained by the WORD – and Empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT – to enable us to thrive, fulfill purpose meaningfully, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For we ARE the New creation JEW that’s of the heart [the spirit] and INWARDLY ARE – Spirited, Hearted, Reborn, Recreated, Circumcised, Called, Justified, Predestined, Foreknown, Chosen, Accepted, Blessed, Made, Qualified, Glorified, Purposed, Sanctified, Renewed, Transformed, Delivered, Translated, Forgiven and more . . . in Christ Jesus.

“For he is not a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:28-29.

Therefore, be ENERGISED and let it be that THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN – WORKING INSIDE OUT.

Be Blessed.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father IN spirit and IN truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him IN spirit and IN truth” John 4:19-24.

“Look at the proud one, His soul is not right within him, But the righteous will LIVE by his FAITH [in the true God]” Habakkuk 2:4/AMP [Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17].

THE LOVING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE LOVING OF GOD: WILL CAUSE ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD!

“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 8:28.

“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

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – positive or negative – to work for your good, then start loving God in spirit (hearts) and in truth (His Word).

Loving God is a deliberate conscious act from your hearts (human spirit) and not in your heads; knowing and understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared in human spirit (heart) by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5. This will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan, X-ray and more may be useful in human endeavours, yet can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God.

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Today, start Loving God.

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 in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
