GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: TO SAVE US FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE!

“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the sun, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.

At MIDDAY, the Sun is at it’s best, brightening and illuminating as many reachable places. In some TIME ZONE’S, you can’t directly look upward on the Sun at MIDDAY because of the intensity of the beam of light that it’s glowing, radiating, reflecting and illuminating upon such places. It was in such atmosphere that God chose to show and beam the superiority and illumination of His divine Sun light of righteousness over humanity Sun beam of light.

It’s time to let God shine His light at Midday on you, especially if you are unsure and thinks you are walking wrongly and doing life on assumptions and or foolishness in where you’ve found yourself at the moment. Sometimes one becomes so zealous and no knowledge, and full of knowledge and no understanding. Hence, no PURPOSEFUL living. It takes wisdom to live PURPOSEFULLY in God’s timeless timeline sphere.

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul.

“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine.

And there are many today, in their zealousness to please God, have gone about establishing their own purposeful RIGHTEOUS cause and not after God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of Christ Jesus. Know full well this day, that it’s only God’s purpose that can make all things work together for our good in all circumstance of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“For ye have heard of my CONVERSATION in time past in the Jews’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I PERSECUTED the church of God, and WASTED it: 14 and PROFITED in the Jews’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS of the TRADITIONS of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED me from my mother’s womb, and CALLED me by his grace” Galatians 1:13-15.

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and GOING ABOUT to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For CHRIST is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – JESUS CHRIST and all will be well again and again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

CAN THE CHURCH ARISE – TO THE WORLD SPRINGS EVERYWHERE

By Leave a Comment

CAN THE CHURCH ARISE – TO THE WORLD SPRINGS EVERYWHERE: The Springs Movement – Arab springs, African Union Springs, European Union Springs, various National springs and American (US) Spring and same-like that’s come!

“If the FOUNDATIONS [of a godly society] are destroyed, WHAT CAN THE RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3/Amplified.

The world is undergoing a search for self-Worth, discovery and answers to some quests with certain generation that are left behind; and the new generation that are springing up are with burning quest, that requires or requiring an answer in many and if not, all the problems that have befallen them in terms: BAD LEADERSHIP, PANDEMIC (SICKNESS AND DISEASES), POVERTY, CLIMATE CHANGE, SPIRITUAL ACTUALISATION, TERRORISM, ECONOMIC MISHAP, WARS and many such like.

From Arabian Springs of Tunisia, Libya, Yemen and more to Syria and other African, European and American leadership misnomer, has brought the greatest oppression, suppression, human displacement and chaotic immigration ever experience in modern times. And of cause the wars, poverty and insecurity and pandemic.

The European Union Spring which has resulted Great Britain exit (Brexit), many National chaos of the Union to United States of American Spring with US government as of the time of posting, have indicated the greatest acts of hatred, racism, stigma, terrorism, economic mishaps, Unsteady democracy, internal and external wars and wickedness and such like, ever known in human history and modern times.

Today every corners of the earth cries out for an ANSWER in the various springs in each continent in spite of the various actions of various groups united under the umbrella of the UNITED NATION.

May I say that until leaders of all groups begins to do the reassessment and address these crises from God’s point of view, I can’t see any acts of human endeavours, financial expenditures, humanitarian demands or such like efforts, that will ANSWER to the FULNESS the QUEST, THIRST and HUNGER and CONFUSION in the human search for self-worth and discovery of been a being. This is simply because, the human spirit is in crises seeking for an ANSWER to it’s QUEST that comes only from the creator himself; which unfortunately, men are only seeking an ANSWER to it’s QUEST, from the human leadership who can’t fathom it, just as they couldn’t and haven’t’ – in final solution to the continuous MATTERS results to the often economic financial meltdown, pandemic, wars and such like, that’s now a plague in nations today. This is why every efforts today of man, keep failing, because – its a human tragedy and it requires first a DIVINE ANSWER before the PHYSICAL resolve result can take place eventually.

Hence I say today – OH CHURCH ARISE! you the righteous – the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus stead (2 Corinthians 5:21), there’s work to be done, no folding of hands until our nations are healed as in the Bible days of old, with God’s injunction to heal the land – 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“ARISE, SHINE; FOR THY LIGHT IS COME, and the GLORY of the Lord is RISEN upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the GENTILES shall come to THY LIGHT, and KINGS to the BRIGHTNESS OF THY RISING” Isaiah 60:1-3

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and hath MADE of one blood all NATIONS of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath DETERMINED the times before APPOINTED, and the BOUNDS of their HABITATION; 27 that they should SEEK the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked 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 17:24-32.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATIONS in every respect of manifestation and operations.

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER CHARACTER – is define and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morality.

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA of doing life and living godly, which is as a results of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace and life, by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulate ones character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment, are but not limited to these in Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc.

** Love (Charitable)

** Peace

** Longsuffering (Endurance)

** Gentleness

** Goodness (Virtue)

** Faith (Faithfulness)

** Meekness

** Temperance (Self Control)

** Patience

** Brotherly Kindness

** godliness

** Honesty

** Purity

** . . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more highlights in various places in the scriptures . . .

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one can be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to any, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25.

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER, makes and keeps you in your THERE after all.

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment.

IN A DARK AND DARKENED WORLD

IN A DARK AND DARKENED WORLD: YOU ARE THE LIGHT – BE THE LIGHT!

“Ye ARE THE LIGHT of the world. 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

Light will always be superior to darkness. The more darkened the brighter the light glows. The strength of light is known in a darkened atmosphere. Light will always outshine darkness at any measure. Light will always overpower darkness – John 1:5.

Light attracts, it glows, it gives direction. Light illuminates and surpasses darkness. God has commanded light to shines OUT of darkness that was in us, to give us the needed illumination to access His redemption done did and deed for us in Christ Jesus – 2 Corinthians 4:6.

Living as the light in His (Christ) light will always be better than in darkness. Light gives hope, light shines and gives a sense of life and belonging in becoming. And God has set deliverance for us from every evil that darkness represents in the world – Galatians 1:3-5; Colossians 1:13-14.

The Holy Writ says – You ARE the light of the World;  it did not say – You WILL be light. YOU ARE THE LIGHT! See yourself the way Christ sees you and BECOME it. Don’t be afraid of darkness nor the dark places no matter what. Dare to be like Daniel and the three brothers (Shadrach Meshach and Abednego) against any odds of darkness and dark places. You ARE the extension and embodiment of God’s LIGHT in Christ Jesus in the World. You ARE His song, hope, love, peace, success, salvation, deliverance, mercy, wisdom, knowledge, prosperity and more to the dark and darkened world. Be emboldened in Christ Jesus to dare the dark and darkened presence. DARE TO BE A BIBLICAL DANIEL!

Therefore shine and keep shining. Keep ENACTING who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus. May you ever GLOW in life and godliness, in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.

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

RESENTMENT

By Leave a Comment

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: To LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You!

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY and BADLY; and it’s a mixture of DISAPPOINTMENT, ANGER, WRATH and FEAR. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE and PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like.

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMON ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. Matthew 5:38-48.

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE and PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and are PRAYING for, while at same time you BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures do requires put a demand on us to do, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14.

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 5:5-11.

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always.

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth’ – the golden rule.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:5-11.

“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 (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine).

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“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.

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

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD – IS A GIVING WORLD!

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

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy.

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom. For with the SAME MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38.

The LOVED-WORLD of God, is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LOVED-WORLD and it’s LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE

God so LOVE, He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such like and more to the needy one.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child, and now, do live experiencing it daily.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified).

AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD

By Leave a Comment

AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD: THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE – LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU TODAY – AND EVEN NOW!

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them . . .” Acts 13:1-12.

You can hear the VOICE of the Holy Spirit today if you let Him. He does SPEAKS and I know that for SURE and CERTAINLY. Will you let Him SPEAK to you TODAY and even NOW?

It’s a high time individual BELIEVER’S in Christ develop the more subconscious ATTITUDE of MINISTERING TO the LORD rather than MINISTERING FOR the LORD, so that they can HEAR the SPEAKING VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT. It’s upon being WITH THE LORD firstly that He EMPOWERS you to go FORTH and DO His Kingdom mandate in grace and speed unhindered.

Don’t be so madly and crazy about getting God’s POWER as some are, compared to having a strong desire to be with Him in LIFE and GRACE. POWER are for PURPOSE, and PURPOSE can serves a good KINGDOM CAUSE in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus when known and understood. And can only be made known and understood, through the communion – FELLOWSHIP – with Him to get the needed INSTRUCTIONS not ADVICE to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with Him; and to help know and understand His PRINCIPLE act for your RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for the given cause. For ABUSIVENESS in anything is a result of the limited knowledge and understanding, born from assumption in ignorance of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

The early or first Disciples who became Apostles and pioneers of the Faith where firstly and primarily called to BE WITH THE LORD, so that the LORD WILL BE FOR THEM, in EMPOWERING them as He sent them FORTH for the GOSPEL with commission mandate for the mission – Mark 3:13-19.

Don’t go hastening FOR the LORD’S Kingdom mandate; instead go MINISTERING TO the LORD in person and He will in turn BE with you in all Plans, Purpose and Pursuits. Psalms 16:11.

This is how to win your day for good in Ministry, Marital relationship, Any other Relationship, Business, Career, Education, Entrepreneurship, Conflicts Resolution and such likes.

It’s time to develop the heartfelt love that MINISTERS to the LORD always. For in His PRESENCE is the fullness of joy and life for evermore. DO YOURSELF A GOOD FAVOUR IN MAKING A NEW START TODAY – Psalms 16:11.

“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

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 7 which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord” Acts 13:1-12.

“He went up on the hillside and CALLED those whom He Himself wanted and chose; and they came to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve [disciples], so that they WOULD BE WITH HIM [for instruction] and so that He COULD SEND THEM out to PREACH [the gospel as apostles—that is, as His special messengers, personally chosen representatives], 15 and to have AUTHORITY AND POWER to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17 and James, the son of [b]Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and [He also appointed] Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathanael), and Matthew (Levi the tax collector), and Thomas, and [c]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas the son of James), and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him” Mark 3:13-19 Amplified.

AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD: THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE – LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU TODAY – AND EVEN NOW!

IN GOD’S LIGHT IN CHRIST JESUS: BE INCLINED TO BE BEAM – FOR YOU WILL FIND LIFE AND ILLUMINATED LIGHT IN HIM!

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to shine OUT of darkness, hath SHINED in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING), to give the LIGHT of THE KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6/Emphasis Mine.

The Moon has no light of his own. In cause of the eclipse system, it rotates on it’s orbit and incline unto the Sun. When its Inclination on the Sun rays of light is partly, we have partial Moon light or partial eclipses of the sun; When it’s at full centred inclined position, it will receive a full rays or beam of light from the Sun, then we say the full or total Moon or total eclipses of the sun, because the moon is glowing in fullness; And when the Moon moves totally away from the Sun, we experience full darkness and we say dark moon or dark eclipses of the sun.

In the same scenario, we have no light in ourselves, and Jesus is the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. When we are fully or partially or not at all Incline to Him, we EXPERIENCE the same like results as the moon in all about our living and doing life.

I urge you today, to INCLINE to the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS and you will see the FULLNESS of you GLOWING in grace, health, prosperity, peace, success, love and more. And you can only incline through His sayings not someone else or yours sayings. You can bank on His PROMISED WORD today by inclining to the light that shines out of darkness that God had shined into our hearts in order to radiate the fulness of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; 2 Corinthians 4:6! Proverbs 4:18-23.

“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT SHALL WE SEE LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.

“But for you who FEAR my name, the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.” (Malachi 4:2).

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD: he that followeth me shall not WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12.

“But the PATH OF THE JUST IS AS THE SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH more and more unto the perfect (DAWN) day. . . 20 My son, attend to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” Proverbs 4:18-22/Emphasis Mine.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 IN HIM WAS LIFE; AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN. 5 And THE LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT . . . 14 And THE WORD was MADE FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5/Emphasis Mine.

“YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. 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.

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: FOR LOVE IS THE GREATEST

By Leave a Comment

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: FOR LOVE IS THE GREATEST – THE MORE AND MOST EXCELLENT WAY TO DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY!

“But covet EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . .  “ 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13.

What an awesome BLESSEDNESS, hearing Jesus say – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – meaning GO expressing LIFE through the EYES of LOVE AND CARE even when you are too busy – as the stand, if you are to be my Disciple. In other words – DON’T BE SO HEAVENLY MINDED/MINDFUL and of NO EARTHLY GOOD – that’s the message to ALL in Luke 10:25-37 of the good Samaritan. Let not nothing comes in between you with the distinction of persons as the following did to the Samaritans by their indifference:

  1. The PRIEST (Leadership)

2  The LEVITES (Leadership Associate/Assistants)

  1. And YOU (In Any Capacity/Position).

Henceforth Jesus was and is endorsing the need of the hour and moment for all times, of LOVING BEYOND BOUNDARIES – Creed, Colour, Tradition, Denomination, Culture, Believe/Faith, Nations and more. For ALL humans are God’s irrespective of colour and looks and believe. (Acts 17:24-28; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6, 13; Galatians 6:14-15/2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:11-13; John 13:34-35; John 15:13-14; 1 John 3-5:3)

Therefore – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – Jesus said to ALL. Do this by expressing LIFE through LOVE and CARE even when you are too busy.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“And, behold, a certain LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?  26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou?  27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself.  28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?  30 And Jesus answering said, A CERTAIN MAN went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him HALF DEAD.  31 And by chance there came down a CERTAIN PRIEST that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  32 And likewise A LEVITE, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.  33 But a CERTAIN SAMARITAN, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had COMPASSION on him,  34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, TAKE CARE OF HIM; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.  36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves?  37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

“The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to ALL [people] LIFE and BREATH and ALL THINGS. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having DETERMINED their appointed TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their LANDS and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE ALSO ARE HIS CHILDREN” Acts 17:24-28 Amplified.
