LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE LAW THAT SETS ONE UP IN GRACE AND MAKES ONE FREE INDEED!

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me FREE from the LAW of SIN and DEATH” Romans 8:1-2

In Christ Jesus, No CONDEMNATION means – No CONDEMNATION. GOD is bound by His WORD. NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from self-condemnation, demonic power and cohorts, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing and more of such like.

Its true that the law of gravity indicates the pulling forces that when things are thrown up, they falls. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust – aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence, it’s a high time to live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. Simply because the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom, onward and upward trajectory from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations, such like and more.

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:24-25.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“But ye are NOT in the FLESH, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of DEATH were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“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.

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS: BE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF FAITH AGAINST FEAR PHOBIAS!

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of CALM and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:6-7/AMP [Classic Edition].

Today’s food for thought – it’s for your daily FREEDOM over fear phobias; it’s for you to  build your faith against the spirit of fear – and to build faith is to hear and feed on the WORD – which is the sayings of God. For it’s TIME to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD – in order To build the STEADFAST FAITH that will enables you to RESIST – put to flight – the enemy and cohorts in their acts of EVIL and WICKEDNESS through FEAR; and to get the needed leverage to TRIUMPH over the EFFECT of FEAR by the FAITH in the WORD.

“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 .  .  . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

Therefore, give yourself to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD until it gets HOLD OF YOU and gives you the enabling to GET RID of that FEAR PHOBIAS that have held you in bondage. It’s your FREEDOM DAY, for God made the day, that you might REJOICE, be GLAD and be FREE from EVERY EVIL and WICKEDNESS in such a times as this, in our World. Psalms 118:25; Galatians 1:3-5; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:17-20; Luke 1:68-75.

When you set your heart – your human spirit-being to LOVE the WORD of God and to accordingly FEED your spirit-being healthily, you are by such BUILDING up the WORD of FAITH to OVERCOME the world FEAR BONDAGES. When you are FEEDING your spirit-being by the WORD – the SAYINGS of God and not by TRASH and GARBAGE, you knowingly and unknowingly ACTIVE the perfect LOVE that cast out FEAR. Perfect LOVE that CAST out the spirit of FEAR is of the consequence of the WORD of God that one loves. And FAITH WORKS by LOVE. 1 John 5:3-5, 1 John 4:17-18; Galatians 5:6; John 8:31-32; Proverbs 4:20-23.

Therefore, be emboldened by FEEDING on the WORD of God, such that the WORD of FAITH, working through LOVE, gives you the enabling stand in GRACE, to ACCESS your SALVATION in Christ Jesus. And as you act on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in CONTEXT, and CONFESSING to that same WORD of FAITH generated through FEEDING on the WORD, you can become what the WORD says you can be in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 10: 8-10, 17; Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; Mark 11:20-24.

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER: It’s TIME To PRAY Not PLAY!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (WEARY, GIVE UP, LOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1(Emphasis Mine).

When you are against the WALLS of personal, family and national ECONOMIC CRISIS and PANDEMIC DISEASES and WARS EFFECTS, and such like natural or man made disasters –  you need no special vision or Prophet to inform you that you need to CONNECT to the HEAVENLY in order to resolve your EARTHLY affair matters.

There’s An ANSWER – PRAYER Makes The DIFFERENCE – it’s time to give it a GO as in the Bible days of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, when there ARE:

* NO RAIN – Meaning NO – job, productivity, employment, opportunities, creativity, innovation, and no more – love, joy, peace, happiness as should be . . .

* DEVOURING LOCUST – Meaning No productivity, economic meltdown, business/company closure, financial indebtedness, and personal or national economic decline, the powerful eating up the poor and more – injustice, war, hunger, corruption and such like.

* PESTILENCE/EPIDEMICS/PANDEMIC – Meaning Sickness and Diseases of ALL sorts that can kill and ruin lives, stagnant and man one’s life with pains, suffering and more.

IT’S TIME TO GENUINELY PRAY AND NOT PLAY – THERE IS ALREADY AN ECONOMIC EFFECT GRADUALLY SIPPING IN AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC AND WAR EFFECTS ON NATIONS.

WATCH and PRAY before you BECOME a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR NO RAIN, MEANS  NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating through out the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centered and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.  It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein it’s my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly prayer to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – the people are called by God’s precious name. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT –

PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS

By Leave a Comment

PERSONAL AND NATIONAL PRAYER WALLS: YOU CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY!

PRAYERS – The  gracious mantle of changing the course of human history by divinity – be a part of the train and trailblazers – for the world needs your impact – and prayers it’s an access to it by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be MADE for ALL men; 2 for KINGS, and for ALL that are in AUTHORITY; that we may lead a QUIET and PEACEABLE life in all GODLINESS and HONESTY. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time” 1 Timothy 2:1-6.

Prayer CHANGES things; it’s your time to PRAY to SAVE yourself and those you care about from BECOMING the PREY and VICTIM of the unrelenting Enemy and Cohorts. We are in a great time of great NEED, and God’s grace is readily available today as always to ANSWER our QUEST and deep hearts yearnings in this difficult and challenging times, as it’s written:

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the FEELING OF OUR INFIRMITIES; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY UNTO THE THRONE OF GRACE, that we may obtain mercy, AND FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.

There’s a very strong NEED today than ever before for you to team up and create a Personal, Community and National PRAYER WALLS to end the appalling devastation on our homes, streets, communities (local, state, national), government and governance.

Do you have a set personal PRAYER WALL? Can you team with one or two or more for a PRAYER WALL chain of at least 5mins a day? I know you can if you resolve to.

There is the need to have a PRAYER WALL for Personal and National Affairs With God, if you must make a remarkable eternal effect and difference in your earthly life affairs before God and Mankind. This is only possible when you can recall King Hezekiah PRAYER WALLS to reverse his life span sentence after a verdict has been divinely made upon him as in the Holy writ of Isaiah 38:1-8. Like King Hezekiah, as redeemed royal priesthood, God can tell you what will happen in your circumstances, and you can change the outcome. Too often, we look for somebody else to do it for us. It’s now your time and my time to rise to the platform and make the difference we dearly need and desired.

God will HEAL and wants to HEAL our LAND (Nations) from any forms of ills, but it’s in our prerogative to create the atmosphere to ensure His healing virtue has a free cause to be fulfilled as promised. And it’s simply For these three reasons as written in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

** When There’s No RAIN (No Productivity) to THRIVE and FULLFIL PURPOSE due to stalled or stunted or collapse or meltdown in economic growth and development.

** When The LOCUSTS (Economic recessions, Corruption and Austerity Measures) invades and rules the land (Nations) due to bad or failed personal and national economic PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

** When PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of Endemic and Epidemic Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

The scriptures of Chronicles indicates that we can turn the hand of divinity for good towards us for the heavenly outpour. Meaning if divinity was responsible for our pains, we CAN change His intent; much more if He’s not, we can for sure and certainty with divinity on our side accomplish and bring about the change and atmosphere we earnestly crave to have. That is, giving the heavenly permission to interfere for the good of our earthly affairs. Think about it as the Holy writ scriptures indicates.

PRAYERS – THE  MANTLE OF CHANGING THE COURSE OF HUMAN HISTORY BY DIVINITY. Let’s get engaged, let’s get on board, let’s do it, as the only living breath we have for our wholeness, fulness, fruitfulness and fulfilment in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the LAND, or if I SEND PESTILENCE among my PEOPLE;  14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and PRAY, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“In those days was HEZEKIAH SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, Remember now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. 6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. 7 And this shall be a sign unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8.

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that PEACE which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.

The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4

The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.

“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.

The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise  – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.

The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:

** The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION

** The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS

** The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS

** The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY

** The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE

** The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING

** The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER

** The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY

** The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING

** The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT

** . . . and such like.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.

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

“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.  2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.

Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.

Its true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.

Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Giving THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.

“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

THE KEENNESS OF PERCEPTION – THE EAGLE WAY: REFLECTION – TO SEE BEYOND THE HERE AND NOW! – BY STRIVE MASIYIWA

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I PERCEIVE that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35.

This writ was sent to me by someone who heard me Ministering along this line of thought yesterday; and I felt it’s WORTH sharing as an essence on my Month’s MARCH Theme drive. Please learn something. I hope you will learn something.

REFLECTION: SEE BEYOND THE HERE AND NOW! – By STRIVE MASIYIWA

An ENTREPRENEUR moves ahead of the times

I’m always fascinated by people who see the value of something, only after others have seen it, and then rush to get a piece of the action. What if such people had the ability to see value in something before others see its value? My interest has always been about trying to identify what is valuable before it becomes valuable!

Think about it for a moment: Are you a @FastFollower or a @SlowFollower?

Yes, there is such a thing as a @SlowFollower. There are people who are rushing to get into things, but yet they are @SlowFollowers!

Every week I hear of people wanting to get into Data Centers; but we developed our first one more than 10 years ago, when no one even knew what they were! Our Data Centre in Nairobi was virtually empty for years, as we waited for a market to develop.

There are people who still call me to offer us a mobile license, and are surprised when I tell them I have not built a mobile network for more than 15 years…

Been there, done that, and long moved on!

A successful entrepreneur does not move with the times, but ahead of the times.

Many of you might have missed this, but about a week ago there was an announcement that our renewable energy business DPA [Distributed Power Africa] had sold 50% of its Kenya business to EDF, the French utility company, and one of the largest in the whole world.

This was a historic milestone in many ways:

#1. To see such a large global company team up with a small African start-up to develop to as 50:50 partners is quite unusual.

#2. It shows you what I have been saying for a long time, that the future of energy in Africa is renewable! EDF has more installed solar power than all the power generated by traditional means in the entire African continent.

#3. It shows the ambition we have for DPA: I want it to be the biggest power company in Africa. Period!

It took more than two years of negotiations with EDF to get this deal done. It will one day be bigger than Liquid, or even Econet itself. I know the pathway it will take, because it is a well beaten pathway.

What new entrepreneurial opportunities will these emerging businesses of ours create for other innovators, entrepreneurs, fast followers and even slow-followers across Africa?

Countless!

I know these are very tough times but I want all of you to remain focused like *EAGLES* in this storm of storms that our world is still facing right now: Keep your eyes open, your spirits up, and please continue to be very careful and follow the health guidelines so we can get this pandemic behind us ASAP.

Meanwhile, as an entrepreneur, what are you seeing lately? What are you not seeing? Are you taking the time to skill up? Is this your time to *FLY*?

Let’s talk.

End.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: AND IT’S AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both have, give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self-denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted  and characterised are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. [1 Peter 1:19; Acts 24:16; Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.

I want to emphasize emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost – and it wasn’t just an a mere GIVEN. It’s not cheap and it’s out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His LIFE at the CROSS of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.

And this matter of His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE – the AGAPE love, is unconditional, principle, non-sentimental, transcending, superseding, surpassing and it’s scriptural. And in the context of LOVE, God loves us; and this He expressed and authenticate by giving us His only Beloved Son – the first begotten from the dead – and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN; and He expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. [Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6].

Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. [1 Timothy 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].

And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fulness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. [Romans 8:31-39].

May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and COMPELLED to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21)

To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as it’s demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. (1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6)

Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.

May God found you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“BEHOLD, what MANNER of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be CALLED the SONS of God: therefore the world KNOWETH us not, because it KNEW him not” 1 John 3:1.

“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.

“Who in the days of his FLESH (HUMANITY), when he had OFFERED up prayers and supplications with STRONG CRYING and TEARS unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED he OBEDIENCE by the things which he SUFFERED; 9 and being made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED, FULNESS), he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him” Hebrews 5:7-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“For this is THANK-WORTHY, if a man for CONSCIENCE toward God ENDURE grief, SUFFERING wrongfully. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be BUFFETED for your faults, ye shall take it PATIENTLY? but if, when ye do well, and SUFFER for it, ye take it PATIENTLY, this is ACCEPTABLE with God. 21 For even hereunto were ye CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should follow his steps: 22 who did NO sin, neither was GUILE FOUND in his mouth: 23 who, when he was REVILED, REVILED not again; when he SUFFERED, he THREATENED not; but COMMITTED himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls” 1 Peter 2:19-25.

“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” John 3:16.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:12-16.

“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 . . . 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 (LOVE) shall ALL men know that ye are MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1-2, 34-35 (Emphasis Mine).

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURED COMPLETE FULNESS), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT” Matthew 5:43-48 (Emphasis Mine).

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 WHO shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that NEITHER death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.
