MARRIAGE – MARITAL RELATIONSHIP

By Leave a Comment

MARRIAGE – MARITAL RELATIONSHIP: IT’S A CALLING IN THE GRACE – ABOUNDING WITH FAVOUR AND BLESSEDNESS!

“Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous;  9 not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary BLESSING, knowing that you were CALLED to this, that you may INHERIT A BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9.

Being married to the one you love and loving the one you marry – it’s a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL place to be, in order to obtain and enjoy the promise FAVOUR and BLESSEDNESS when you found your spouse. This is as written:

“Whoso FINDETH a wife findeth a GOOD thing, and obtaineth FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:22.

Therefore, are you MARRIED? If YES – Know for good that you are CALLED to INHERIT A BLESSING – that is, as being heirs together in the sharing of the common GRACE of life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Peter 3:7-12. Marriage in Christ Jesus stead and stand, is not a CURSE thing; and more so, it’s no longer a CURSED relationship as in Adam and Eve, when you hold dearly and steadfastly and uphold strongly, the context of the New Creation SCRIPTURAL TRUTH of the Holy Writ of God – 1 Peter 3:7-12.

For in REDEMPTION, Christ Jesus has REDEEMED and RESTORED the marital BLESSEDNESS of God that enriches all. Your MARRIAGE is not a CURSE affair anymore in Christ Jesus stead and it’s not CURSED to become one any time and any day but rather it’s a place of BLESSING and BLESSEDNESS – to INHERIT a Blessing in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Peter 3:7-12 [Romans 5:1-2, 12-21; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29].

Whatever you are seeing or thinking or watching from a grandstand on your marital stands or you are knowingly living and experiencing as a marital difficulties and challenges, could be due to either or both of the spouse ignorance or stupidities or foolishness, on the marital scriptural context. And that doesn’t necessarily make God’s WORD and scriptural stand in marriage to become inoperative and ineffective and impractical. For in God, the promises and BLESSEDNESS toward marriage and marital life is touchable, reachable, loveable, liveable and tangible.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created He THEM. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

This is why I teach people that you might marry by love, but you can’t LIVE and SUSTAIN marriage by just LOVE alone – but needs to do life in marriage by WISDOM – which is by KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the scriptural context of marriage in God’s Word. Apostle Peter even have to charge the husband to deal and dwell with your wife by KNOWLEDGE in order to avoid marital crisis – hence, it’s not by wisdom when anyone under God, decides to build up their marriage on mundane things – because such things are limited and are subject to changes with time, and are prone to failure, and more so, because of the human factors that’s opposed to God’s scriptural context upon which the marital stand of the BLESSEDNESS of God, is built upon. For it’s written:

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL WITH THEM ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the GRACE of life; that your PRAYERS BE NOT Hindered” 1 Peter 3:7.

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches” Proverbs 24:3-4.

“Every WISE woman BUILDETH her house: but the FOOLISH plucketh it down with her hands” Proverbs 14:2.

“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 7:12.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his face to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Henceforth, be RESOLVE with a change hearts towards your spouse today and everyday in everyway. Love your spouse in grace and live through wisdom to ensure the working of the marriage and marital stand by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For it’s what you PICTURE in the light of the scriptures and scriptural context in marriage and marital stand, that becomes your marital FUTURE. The REDEMPTION DEED OF CHRIST, had settled once for all time in all for you and all maritally, and to share in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Him with each other in love.

Therefore, I say to you and all: Stay BLESSED! Remain BLESSED!! And BLESSED regards in everyway in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

CHURCH WORSHIP – IT’S A FAMILY GATHERING

CHURCH WORSHIP – IT’S A FAMILY GATHERING – AND FAMILY SUNDAY: BE A PARTICIPANT NOT A SPECTATOR AT THE INGATHERING!

“I was GLAD when they SAID unto me, LET US GO INTO THE HOUSE of the Lord” Psalms 122:1.

Unreservedly, I just want you to know now, today and always that:

THE CHURCH OF WORSHIP IS NOT A PLACE YOU GO TO – IS A FAMILY GATHERING YOU SHOULD BELONG TO . . . SO ARISE AND BE THERE WHENEVER THERE IS AN INGATHERING AND BE A PARTICIPANTS OF IT . . . DON’T BE A SPECTATOR.

Be as the Psalmist to always look forward to the GATHERING or INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people as you. The GATHERING and INGATHERING of the VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMERS, TRIUMPHANT and A MORE THAN CONQUERORS people of God in Christ Jesus stead as written of the scripture of Psalm 122:1 mentioned earlier and us of the last days Brethren spoken of in Isaiah.

“And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS, that the MOUNTAIN of the Lord’s house shall be ESTABLISHED in the TOP of the mountains, and shall be EXALTED above the hills; and all NATIONS shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the HOUSE of the God of Jacob; and he will TEACH us of his ways,  and we will WALK in his paths:  for out of ZION shall go forth the law, and the WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall JUDGE among the nations, and shall REBUKE many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn WAR anymore” Isaiah 2:2-4

Find a WORSHIP INGATHERING near you and be a part – an active participant. It’s your family, it’s not just a place you go to . . . You are the Church in the Churches INGATHERING. Your seating spot awaits you in the COMMUNION. Make it happen now and always. Ephesians 5:23-32. Don’t be an observer, a pessimistic and passive person in the INGATHERING – give in your best, make your good spirited and hearted presence bless someone because you are there. You don’t know how someone may be happily blessed for your unexplainable smiles, gracious testimony and undeniable presence that you never knew could be contagious to give hope, love and assurance of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus to another loved child of God.

Be ASSURED that at the INGATHERING, every one is UNIQUE, VITAL and IMPORTANT . . . So are you too . . . We are all CALLED into a COMMON UNION – COMMUNION and the same PURPOSE of God – to SERVE Him acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily. 1 Corinthians 12:12-27, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:12; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 5:9-10.

And no matter – it’s far BETTER to be late than NEVER to be at the INGATHERING . . . Because you have to COME for it to be a GATHERING and INGATHERING. And it’s a FAMILY gathering – YOUR gathering and not someone else. Be there at ALL cost in LOVE, HOPE and FAITH. For out of ZION, the Church shall go forth the LAW  – the WORD of our God to make good the individual, family, community and the larger society – the nation.

“. . . 3 And MANY PEOPLE shall go and say, COME ye, and LET US GO UP to the MOUNTAIN of the Lord, to THE HOUSE of the God of Jacob; and he will TEACH us of His WAYS, and we will WALK in his PATHS: for out of ZION shall go forth THE LAW, and THE WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem. . .” Isaiah 2:1-5.

“For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH is named” Ephesians 3:14-15.

A city that is SET on an HILL cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it UNDER a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16.

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

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

In course of time, I have seen how some people just wants to wake up in the Christian faith stand in Christ Jesus, and wants everything to be just readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost and without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead. Some wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, get there expecting a perfect sitting set, music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set and such like as may be applicable to make them have a beautiful atmosphere and environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there.

And as far as these set of Believer’s are concerned, they are to play no single act of BELONGING to the set Church they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, – all they care about is to see that the needed atmosphere and environment to ensure that everyone hands is involved to make good and done collectively with the hearts of BELONGING is set – such can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in becoming.

The Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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 1:12-14.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“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 11:22-24.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9.

We ARE to being BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to being Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption.

“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.

The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demon’s today when they break away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centred, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts demon’s the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21; Revelation 12:3-4].

And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.

“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:26-3.

There are many today, who are out there that are satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about for their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens.

And if these sets of satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociates themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to can make them to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects – because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].

“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“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.

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.

Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousnesss and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].

Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“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 11:22-24.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST

By Leave a Comment

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You knowingly LOVE And WASH The Feet Of The BLACK SHEEP Staff/Family Among You!

Only by God’s kind of LOVE – Agape, can one be calm and at peace, dine and wash the feet of the one you know so well had betrayed you to your enemies. Jesus loves all unto the end – for only LOVE can thrive in the midst of fears, hatred and wickedness. 1 John 4:17-18. Love is the ONLY invincible trap, which I call – LOVE SET TRAP – to send your traitors, conspirators, betrayers and blackmailers and such like to their own night of DARKNESS – effortless and without stress. Hence our REDEMPTION is perfectly GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL in the power of God’s LOVE.

Love was the trap set to get the DEVIL and COHORTS to enhance our REDEMPTION. Jesus loves all to the end. While he was LOVING His own, SATAN and COHORTS – Judas Iscariot, were at work, not knowing that it’s the Father God gate way and set traps to bring redemption into reality. Satan entered Judas, he made himself a VESSEL OF OFFENCE even in the midst of Christ Jesus offering and devoting love and sacrifice of service to them all as living examples to follow as His DISCIPLES.

LOVE IS AND WAS AT ITS BEST, When God in Christ Jesus, knowingly LOVE and WASH THE FEET OF THE BLACK SHEEP STAFF/FAMILY AMONG HIS DISCIPLES – That’s Incredible!

It’s WORTH noting that LOVE is a double edge sword and it’s the only blow that satan and cohorts can’t DECIPHER when it matters. God’s final blow that’s indescribable and incomprehensible and impenetrable.

LOVE was God’s SET TRAP to make our REDEMPTION a reality and to give unprecedented silencing and unforgettable blow to SATAN and COHORTS. It’s time to make your FAITH effectual through LOVE – Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD KNEW: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:8.

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and HATH NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that OFFENCES WILL COME: but WOE unto him, through WHOM they come!” Luke 17:1.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: 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.

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

“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.  2 And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him;  3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;  4 HE RISETH FROM SUPPER, AND LAID ASIDE HIS GARMENTS; AND TOOK A TOWEL, AND GIRDED HIMSELF. 5 AFTER THAT HE POURETH WATER INTO A BASON, AND BEGAN TO WASH THE DISCIPLES’ FEET, AND TO WIPE THEM WITH THE TOWEL WHEREWITH HE WAS GIRDED.  6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?  7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.  8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.  9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.  10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, BUT NOT ALL.  11 For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean. 12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?  13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  14 IF I THEN, YOUR LORD AND MASTER, HAVE WASHED YOUR FEET; YE ALSO OUGHT TO WASH ONE ANOTHER’S FEET.  15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.  16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.  17 If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. 18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.  19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.  20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. 21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.  22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.  23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.  24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.  25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?  26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. AND WHEN HE HAD DIPPED THE SOP, HE GAVE IT TO JUDAS ISCARIOT, THE SON OF SIMON.  27 AND AFTER THE SOP SATAN ENTERED INTO HIM. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.  28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.  29 For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.  30 HE THEN HAVING RECEIVED THE SOP WENT IMMEDIATELY OUT: AND IT WAS NIGHT. 31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.  32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him” John 13:1-32.

OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION: ENACTING AND POSSESSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL COVENANT DEED IN REDEMPTION!

“And from Jesus Christ, the faithful and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] LOVES US and who [has once for all] FREED US [or WASHED US] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— 6 and FORMED US [or MADE US] into a kingdom [as His subjects], priests to His God and Father—to Him be the GLORY and the POWER and the MAJESTY and the DOMINION forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/AMP.

It’s your time to enact and possess your possession, thereby authenticating your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, in order to start enjoying the DEED; the otherwise ‘BILL of – RIGHTS  and PRIVILEGES’ of our redemption in Christ Jesus –  in the Kingdom. For we are His Chosen to show forth – reveal and manifest the redemption essence as we do life and live godly of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Coming to Him as to a LIVING STONE, rejected indeed by men, but CHOSEN by God and PRECIOUS, 5 you also, as LIVING STONES, are being built up a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ . . . 9 But you are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, His own SPECIAL people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10/NKJV.

I pray for you this day, that you will sing a NEW SONG as the REDEEMED sang in the Bible days as typified of them in the Holy writ of Revelation 5:9-10 – this is so, as to ENACTING and APPROPRIATING our unconditional covenant in the REDEMPTION done deed in our Saviour and Lord – Christ Jesus, with Father God, in our behalf. Amen.

“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 this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole FAMILY in heaven and earth is named . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21.

May you know full well, that when Jesus led captivity captive, He RECEIVED GIFTS for men. And GAVE also GIFTS to men. And your name is named among men to share in this gracious act of REDEMPTION. He RECEIVED SPIRITUAL Covenant DEED on the behalf of men in order to actualised REDEMPTION [Ephesians 1:1-14; Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18]; and He GAVE GIFTS:

  1. The MINISTERIAL/SPIRITUAL gifts to perfect [complete, mature] and to enhance the given gifts to men [Ephesians 4:7-16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Romans 12:1-8].
  2. The SPIRITUAL FRUIT to enhance and perfect [mature, complete] men’s character and behavioural intent by the Holy Ghost [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].
  3. The NEW COVENANT in Christ Jesus, to ensure our restoration from the cursed of the fall and the curse of the law that had us in bondage until our redemption was enacted and sealed by the precious blood of crucifixion, to make the New creation in us. [Genesis 3:1-24; Deuteronomy 28:1-68; Galatians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:7-8; 1 Corinthians 11:23-36; Luke 22:19-20 (Matthew 26:26-28); Hebrews 8:7-13; Hebrews 9:13-25; Hebrews 12:22-24]

Herein is the BLESSEDNESS of the RECEIVED SPIRITUAL COVENANT DEED in our REDEMPTION for your perusal in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

*The Seven UNCONDITIONAL redemptive covenant deed RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ as we sit with Him at the right hand of the Father God in the heavenly are summed up in these:

  1. Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. – Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7. etc.
  2. Riches (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. – 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; 3 John 2; Psalms 35:27. etc.
  3. Wisdom (Mental) – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc. – James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc.
  4. Strength (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness and all ‘ness and infirmities etc. – Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc.
  5. Honour (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. – Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Timothy. 1:7. etc.

May the BLESSEDNESS of God for our redemption makes you perfect – whole, complete and mature – in the reality of His WORD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9.

We ARE to being BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to being Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption.

“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.

The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demon’s today when they break away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centred, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts demon’s the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21;  Revelation 12:3-4].

And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.

“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:26-3.

There are many today, who are out there that are Satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about for their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens.

And if these sets of Satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociates themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to can make them to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects –  because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].

“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“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.

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.

Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as Satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousness and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing Satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].

Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).

To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.

In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.

Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).

FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to SAY “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT age, 13 while we WAIT for the BLESSED hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine.

We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO God for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life.

Am here to let you know that it’s a high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy.

You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology of what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty.

“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine.

Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to –  save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity.

It’s a more gracious  graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help any where you can, without guilt and shame at any point.

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is for to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD.

“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19].

My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detrimental. I am NOT saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.

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

“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine.

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH.

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.

BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD.

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

In course of time, I have seen how some people just want to wake up in the Christian faith, stand in Christ Jesus, and wants everything to be just readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost and without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead. Some want to wake up on a Church gathering services day, get there expecting a perfect sitting set, music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set and such like as may be applicable to make them have a beautiful atmosphere and environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there.

And as far as these set of Believer’s are concerned, they are to play no single act of BELONGING to the set Church they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, – all they care about is to see that the needed atmosphere and environment to ensure that everyone hands is involved to make good and done collectively with the hearts of BELONGING is set – such can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in becoming.

The Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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 1:12-14.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skilfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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 . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“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 11:22-24.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.
