OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED – BY LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy in Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS,  SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

THE STORY OF TWO WOLVES: THE CHOICE IS YOURS – THE ONE YOU FEED!

A dear brother and friend sent me this THOUGHT PONDERING and awakening writ in picture.

I hope you make a sense out of it for your own good for today and tomorrow as its written also in the scripture:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK (FEED, MEDITATE, PONDER) ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8 EMPHASIS MINE.

“Finally, believers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is Honourable and worthy of RESPECT, whatever is RIGHT and CONFIRMED by God’s word, whatever is PURE and WHOLESOME, whatever is LOVELY and brings PEACE, whatever is ADMIRABLE and of GOOD REPUTE; if there is any EXCELLENCE, if there is anything WORTHY of PRAISE, THINK CONTINUALLY on these things [CENTER your mind on them, and implant them in your heart]” Philippians 4:8 AMPLIFIED.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF –  BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished, by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

DARE TO LIVE BY POWER AND GRACE

DARE TO LIVE BY POWER AND GRACE: RECEIVE POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME!

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

** WHAT’S GOD’S POWER – The enabling of God to FUNCTION and MANIFEST (REVEAL, EXPRESS, PERFORM) of God in Christ Jesus, in LIFE and GODLINESS.

** WHAT’S GOD’S GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME what you believe of God by Faith in Christ Jesus, in LIFE and GODLINESS.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not a magical or curious acts, neither is it mystical, occultic nor sorcery and demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes. Rather I am sharing here about the enabling of God that makes and position one with  daring spirit in life, to function by God’s Spirit and might, beyond one’s ability – that’s God empowering one’s inability and weakness in order to fulfill His PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLINESS – Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4.

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His Stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than one quarters of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE though being a learned Lawyer who studied under Sanhedrin – and was circumcised the eighth day – and of the stock of Israel – and of the tribe of Benjamin – and an Hebrew of the Hebrews – and as touching the law, a Pharisee – and concerning zeal, persecuting the church – and touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless, he said of himself in the holy writ. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTION for me.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Emphasis Mine).

“Each time he said, “No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My POWER shows up best in WEAK people.” Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ’s POWER, instead of showing off my own POWER and abilities” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Living Bible).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE – for your ABILITY is must be on a zero reading on God’s chart.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Though I might also have confidence in the flesh (ABILITY). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh (ABILITY), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (Emphasis Mine).

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“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” John 1:12.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

NOT ASHAMED: TO – PREACH – TEACH – AND MINISTER – THE GOSPEL TO ANY!

NOT ASHAMED: TO – PREACH – TEACH – AND MINISTER – THE GOSPEL TO ANY!

Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED to PREACH, TEACH AND MINISTER the GOSPEL to the unreached, untouched and unsaved within your family, community and environment? Do you know the cost of a soul?

“. . . .They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor GIVE to God a ransom for him, 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption . . . “ Psalms 49:1-20 Amplified.

The cost of a soul is not qualified or quantified by any de facto currency and nothing on earth can be equivalent to amount to the cost of that soul near you, that might needs the Gospel while you yet passed by as if it doesn’t matter.

There’s NO contention, controversy, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in the GOSPEL – and that’s what makes it unique in all in making difference in all 

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

SELAH – PAUSE THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were HEALED. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:4-8.

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

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35.

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to PREACH the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:16-22.

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

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH: THE HEAVENLY MANDATE –  THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE BY HUMILITY!

The CITY CHURCHES and DESERT CHURCHES are not numbers, but people of God’s CREATION that WORTH every resources of the heavenly. Sometimes in the CAUSE of OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate, our absolute dedication and commitment to excellence in the Kingdom services are pruned to justify our ESSENCE – motives, in the services of God and to increase productivity in God’s terms – John 15:1-16. And you ability to RESPOND and not REACT in God’s terms thus indicate the assurance and faithfulness one had without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) TOWARD God’s mandate upon one, in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace. And God’s terms could be in ratios, for example 1:1000 or 1000:1, meaning it’s not by our human calculation even as it said in this scripture:

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE day is with the Lord as a THOUSAND years, and a THOUSAND years as ONE day” 2 Peter 3:8.

There are many people today, who when they are relocated from their CITY CHURCH placement of glamour and multitudes, to a more less, the DESERT CHURCH of no glamour and multitudes per excellence, they will swiftly resign from the services of such creation in terms. They may either kick start theirs as a sign and way of rebel and not of necessity, and or REACT by complaining and murmuring and in contention, throughout their time frame away from their CITY CHURCH glamour and multitude per excellence, while at the DESERT CHURCH placemen if they eventually make a move as in this holy writ:

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

You see this same scenario above, also in MATTERS of life when there is shift in life rankings, positions and placements, to a very different place outside our comfort zone of glamour per excellence. Some people  may live through such moment, by cursing and attributing it to witch-hunts and all manner of assertions; and some other may be doing some legislative sessions to gang ups a scene in order to win support and to authenticate their spirituality to placement; and in ensuring they stay in a particular spot all through life without craving to innovative and be creative, which in essence would have helped them to initiate and explore beyond walls and be more matured and humbled in terms.

God is the only one who determines time and season with His own – Acts 17:24-31. And He’s not subject to any human factors of any sorts and does not consult any opinion to ascertain the good for His purpose and will in any man – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11. And in God’s intent to process and prune us, so that we become more effectual, productive and result oriented, His CHANGE in us in His terms is a NECESSITY, so that we can be meaningful and able to fulfill His PURPOSE and ESSENCE in us – 1 Corinthians 9:15-17; He may sometimes and most times, shift our place for His Kingdom advancement and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay as He prune us into bearing much more fruit from a no fruit bearing in His terms – John 15:1-16. If you don’t know and understand what it means to be obedient in the heavenly mandate, you will be fighting and wrestling with God and man, thinking someone else is undoubtedly undoing you in order to bring you down and rob you of who you’ve claimed you are called of God to be in Him.

However, if you want to eat the good of the Kingdom, you must humble yourself in OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE shift as Evangelist Philip did with God, irrespective of his placement in a glamour CITY CHURCH. He, in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE and CAUSES, RESPONDED instead of REACTING to the ministerial shift, from a glamour and joyful SAMARIA CITY CHURCH to a lone one member Ethiopian man DESERT CHURCH. Acts 8:1-40. Only eternity can and would be able to explain in full details, the implications of that mission to the DESERT CHURCH from the CITY CHURCH. Can you do that TODAY? Can you respond and say – YES LORD, to that next shift in your life and or Ministry? Can you afford to change job or allowed to be transferred to a less glamour place to work and do life? Have you ever question while God has PLACED you in certain places that naturally you would not have wish or want to be? Have you come to terms with your life with God, that wherever He leads, you are willing to be OBEDIENT and to say – YES LORD, and follow? These and such like you need to THINK wisely about, before you can WORTH the saying of YES to: “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE” as Evangelist Philip of Acts 8:1-40.

God is raising an ARMY today that will take the GOSPEL beyond walls of denomination and land. He’s not just raising people only into the MINISTERIAL calls but into SECULAR and CIVIC duties. And it may not likely be in the place of your CHOICE sometimes. And the God intent and essence is that through your profession you can MAKE the Gospel to the reach of all – from the CITY to the DESERT. You are that CHURCH, that God is building and raising. It’s not the denomination or cathedral architectural building as some may purport. The DESERT CHURCH is that Local and Community assembly near you, that VILLAGE and DEPRAVED PLACE that your presence is a goldmine and precious stones missionary to the people there. You don’t have to be only in Ministerial outfits to OBEY the heavenly mandate. Your skill and talent is an absolute opportunity and your AVAILABILITY is all that God needs, so that He can lavishly pour His ABILITY in you and through you to make the difference and to make it all good to become in every respect. It’s all about becoming the MISSIONARY to meet the MISSION need in your time – either by direct ministerial calling of God or through your professional skills and trade – that’s if you can envision as Apostle Paul forsee in the Apostolic days of being fully committed and dedicated to advance the cause of God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay – Acts 16:8-10

“And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a VISION appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, COME OVER into Macedonia, and HELP US. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to PREACH THE GOSPEL unto them”

I pray that you take time to examine your life very closely, in order to ensure you know and understand God’s intent for you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen; this is very important, and it’s graciousnesss and gracefulness for your well-being is beyond description; this knowing and understanding is good for you in context and essence, before you start legislating spirituality in ignorance, through some unwarranted and uninformed PRAYERS acts as many have done and live unfulfilled.

“. . .5 Then PHILIP went down to the CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and GO TOWARD THE SOUTH unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, A MAN OF ETHIOPIA, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, AND HAD COME TO JERUSALEM FOR TO WORSHIP . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16 For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have nothing to glory of: for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:15-17.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: GOD’S SALVATION PLAN – THE DESERT LAND SHALL SERVE HIM!

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“The WILDERNESS and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35.

 IT’S AN AWAKENING MOMENT AGAIN – OUR REVIVAL TIME. SALVATION IS COME AND COMING. And assuredly and certainly – The DESERT – REMOTE NATIONS SHALL SERVE THE LORD GOD – because the eternal speaking Blood of Jesus Christ, which ATONES for all human Salvation, is in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS, and it belongs to them too.

Our God is interested in both the CITY CHURCH as well as the DESERT – VILLAGE and RURAL – CHURCHES. Hence He’s awakening all in these anchor leg toward His coming. God’s SALVATION plan is the same for all in His HEAVENLY MANDATE commission. In advancing the kingdom cause of God and in keeping the enemy at bay, all must be included irrespective of status, colour, race, gender and geographical location.

And I am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES as well as done in the CITY PLACES – for our God is not only the God of JEWS but also of the GENTILES World. And Gentile world means every other beside the Jews. He’s the God of all – for in Him we all LIVE, MOVE and HAVE our being. (Acts 17:24-31; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Romans 10:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Colossians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:21-24; Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:20-21; Galatians 3:25-29).

Be it known that, no matter the confusion in the world today, God has an end plan in it, for the liberation of human life’s without drones, guns and bombs; and it also goes beyond humanitarian aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing  SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see event unfolding day by day.

Be it known also, as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan in His BLESSEDNESS is coming to past. If you believe say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus stead.

The experiences of Evangelist Philip in Acts 8, to be used of God in Samaria to establish a CITY CHURCH of multitudes and later on a DESERT CHURCH of one member, can only be possible with one who is following and in obedience in – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. How many today can make such decisions in their life from the multitudes mandate to a single soul mandate. Hence obeying the heavenly mandate will only be possible by God for the desert places to seek after Him too as in the city places.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END come” Matthew 24:14.

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

“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 . . .” Acts 17:24-31.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith” Romans 3:28-30.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be SAVED” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 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 3:25-29.

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND NOR FREE: but Christ is ALL, and in ALL” Colossians 3:10-11.

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:21-24.

“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.

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH: IT’S YOUR SONGS OF REDEMPTION!

May You Sing A New Song – In Month June. The Redeemed sang a new SONG – the New CREATION song. The SONG of TRIUMPH. No more SONGS of failure, sickness, disease, setbacks, frustrations, curses, defeat, oppression, unbelieve and such likes. They rather SANG the SONGS of royalty and priesthood that they BECAME in Christ Jesus, affordable to all across every tribe, tongue, kindred and nations – colour and race.

The Church is you, the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH, the NEW CREATION, the REDEEMED of God. You are by the Redemption did, deed of Christ Jesus, to live TRIUMPHANTLY in everyway and every place. No more LIMITS. You are DELIVERED and RESCUED from the POWER of DARKNESS and had been TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED not REFURBISHED, into God’s OWN. YOU ARE GOD’S OWN. SING A NEW SONG.

For Moses and Marian the Sister lead the song of the glorious TRIUMPH out of the bondage and hardship of their taskmaster in Egypt. They sang their Redemption songs with graciousness and gracefulness. They dance and celebrated their redemption. Why not you of today, born of God and filled with the enabling and indwelling Holy Spirit which they wish and earnestly desired – Hebrews 11:32-40. I guess they would have dance daily and more.

What sorts of SONGS are you into as a REDEEM child of God. Is it the FEAFUL-HALLELUJAH songs, the COMPLAIN-HALLELUJAH songs, the TRANSFER-AGGRESSION songs, the UNFORGIVING and UNFORGETTABLE  Songs, the REGRETTABLE songs, the SELF AFFLICTED Songs, the FEAR-PHOBIAS songs, the songs filled up with CURSES, the BLAME OTHERS songs, the VICTIM songs, the DEPRESSING songs, the NEVER do well songs, the SELF DEFEAT songs, the SELF-PITY songs, the RACE CARD songs and other such likes songs.

God wants you, the REDEEMED you, to know that it’s time to sing the REDEMPTION Songs of TRIUMPH in all our declaration, proclamation, announcing, confessions, professing and such likes. Songs from our lips now need to be that of the glorious TRIUMPH from the GRIPS and POWER of darkness into the realm of our dear Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus. It’s time to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our REDEMPTION DEED in Life and Godly Living.

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased.

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established.

18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY!

FOR YOU ARE GIVEN THE MEASURE OF FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS – DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE.

God in His grace in Christ Jesus, has ACCORDINGLY dealt to you THE MEASURE of FAITH to enable you BECOME in Him. By the article “THE” measure and not “A” measure as used in Romans 12:3 and Ephesians 4:7 thus indicates the leverage. In other words, THE measure of FAITH you need to DEAL measurably with the MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES you are facing right now or later is readily within you. Dare to BELIEVE and act on it accordingly and then BECOME what you BELIEVE. Faith is ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. BELIEVE is Passive and it’s to conceive the WORD for FAITH to act upon. FAITH then is acting on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD accordingly and correspondingly.

Therefore, stop seeking for the MIRACLE that is already within your reach. For you’ve been GIVEN the enabling GRACE to BECOME ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

BE BLESSED.

They said unto him, Yea, Lord.  29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” Matthew 9:27-29.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall HAVE whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things SOEVER ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN TO BECOME!

It’s the achievers tenacity and synergy to DREAM, VISUALISE and BELIEVE that the seemingly possible and impossible can become possible again and again in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

If you can believe again, the able God who is Omnipotent, Omniscience and Omnipresence as you read now, will cause all your darkness to come to light again. You can become your VISUALISE DREAM again if you can DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN.

I have never seen or known anyone whose hope is in Christ Jesus that is hopeless and useless and you can’t become the first in Christ Jesus, because it’s not of God’s BLESSEDNESS in our REDEMPTION. And you can’t be the beginner because God is infallible to His promises.

Two blind men seek after God in Christ Jesus for them to receive their sight. They became what they believe accordingly. When you DARE CHOOSE TO CHANGE and DARE TO BELIEVE as this blind men did against all odds, you will BECOME accordingly.

I want you to know that there’s nothing to stop you in becoming in Christ Jesus. It’s simply for our REDEMPTION. For the New Creation in Christ Jesus has no past in Redemption. Irrespective of your past, circumstances, sorrow, failures, background and even with sin, if you dare choose to change and believe, you can become with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The Bible Book of Micah 7:18-19 indicates, the Lord had buried you past under the sea, meaning, NO FISHING. And I say stop FISHING your past. For when you dare choose to change, dare to believe that you can be what the Lord God made you to be in Redemption, you then can become accordingly.

I pray that in this month of June, your change will come in all ways of doing and living life; and you’ll become what you dare believe the Lord to be just as Jabez became what he believed of the Lord and his choice to change rather than living in the past as the scriptures below indicates.

Do you BELIEVE? Why not READ the Scripture and be bless accordingly

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD: HAVE MERCY ON US THEY PRAYED – AND THEY RECEIVED!

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort” 2 Corinthians 1:3.

In my Book – FAITH IN GOD’S ANOINTED, I have defined MERCY to mean the divine kindness that offsets divine judgement for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes, as we do life and godly living in God’s grace. And, it is the MERCIES of God that enables one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension with – and in the midst of – all forms of human limitations about us. For in the cause of time in our respective lifestyles, we frail being humans and may have fallen into circumstances or be in state or phase of life that only by divine mercy can we be free from such situation. Just as the Psalms will say that the good and faithful, true and sure God knows our frail and frames, and it is living under the cover of His MERCIES that we can keep up and keep on keeping on. And Apostle Paul knows so well the importance of living under the MERCIES of God when he wrote to the Corinthians Church of his account on God’s MERCIES, as a reason for him not to faint, be discouraged or lose hearts of motivation in this writ:

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as we RECEIVED MERCY [from God, granting us salvation, opportunities, and blessings], we do not FAINT – get discouraged nor lose our motivation” 2 Corinthians 4:1.

Two blind men seek after Father God’s MERCY in Christ Jesus for them to receive their sight. They followed Him all the way to the house He was visiting – what a determination for God’s MERCY by these two blind person’s. I supposed they might have seen Jesus earlier and He did nothing, probably passed them bye. They REFUSED to take a NO for an ANSWER, then decided to APPEAL to Him on His nature and character, which speaks of His personality in PRAYERS, by saying only – “HAVE MERCY ON US” Matthew 9:27-31. There wasn’t any special night vigil or special prayer meeting or any obeying or following some of the keys or steps to breakthrough as religion and denomination has taught us to follow in order to ensure one receive the most desired helped from God. All that the two blind men was to do was to BELIEVE on Him who shows MERCY for MERCY, as He’s the Father of all MERCIES. And when they did, against all odds for this blind men, they BECAME what they BELIEVE as it was said – ACCORDINGLY TO YOUR FAITH, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND EXPECTED as a consequence of God’s MERCY.

Today, Jesus is the WORD. And you must come to the reality in knowing that what Jesus would have done for you literally if He was physically present here in humanity is what the WORD is meant to do for you today. Just as the two blind men where specific of what they want on the MERCY of God, they followed Him, meaning the word and they received their desired answers accordingly.

I want you to know that there’s nothing to stop you in having and becoming in Christ Jesus that earnest desire and expectations of your hearts. Our Father God of MERCIES is here with us. Just lift your voice to Him to “HAVE MERCY ON YOU” in all sincerity in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22.

“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. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved . . .” Romans 9:1-33
