OVERCOMING RESENTMENT

OVERCOMING RESENTMENT: PRAY FOR THOSE THAT HURT, DESPISED AND UNDERMINED YOU – FOR IT THUS WORKS!

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

Are you still BROODING and BROWSING In RESENTMENT? Do you desire to be FREE INDEED and experience true FREEDOM and DAILY TRIUMPH? There’s An ANSWER today for you. And I pray that you might have the WILL to let GOD be PLEASED and let GO of RESENTMENT, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And PLEASING God is responding to His WORD accordingly by FAITH and not by REACTING which is a mark AGAINST His WORD perception that’s contrary to your sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy/hypocritical), which tends to rebellion.

RESENTMENT – means a bitter indignation at having been treated unfairly, unjustly, poorly and such like. RESENTMENT is killing relationship at all levels, destroying families, ruining a healthy governance, destroying community and neighborhoods, creating ministerial discord and schism, and worst of all – it’s robbing many of ANSWERS to their PRAYERS from the Father God.

The feeling can be caused by several different circumstances and situations, however, they all involve a sense of injustice or wrongdoing from an individual. For example, public humiliation, constant discrimination or prejudice, being taken advantage of, feeling unrecognised, envy and jealousy and such like can all result in RESENTMENT.

The best ANTIDOTE to overcome and live triumphantly over and above RESENTMENT is to PRAY for the one you are RESENTING against. The act of PRAYER enables you to EXERCISE FAITH, which PLEASES God; and when you PLEASE God, He makes even your ENEMIES to be at PEACE with you and to WORK for your good. And PLEASING God by FAITH means you have the sense to FORGIVE and equally FORGET, that is, to let GO off you –  no matter what and to let in God be – by taking care of such a matter on your behalf – Mark 11:22-26.

There’s the need to know full well, that God makes all things to work together for our good in everyway in Christ Jesus stead; this He has done in Christ Jesus, by JUSTIFYING – FORGIVING and FORGETTING, DISCHARGING and ACQUITTING – us of wrong doings, by in washing away, erasing off, letting go off our sin and it’s effect on us, by nailing them all – on the CROSS of our REDEMPTION. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13; Micah 7:18-19.

My wife once SOLD to me the Wisdom Nugget that I BOUGHT from her that SPIRITED up my journey in grace in this regards, which is this:

“When you truly BELIEVE to have ANSWERS to your PRAYERS by Father God, you’ll discover that you CAN’T RESENT against the person you are always PRAYING for no matter what; but you will ALWAYS RESENT towards the person you don’t PRAY for and not always have in PRAYERS, no matter the circumstances that lies in-between in you – hence there’s the need to PRAY, to cancel RESENTMENT”

This bought over WISDOM NUGGET of hers concept by grace, has become the motto that shapes our life the more. This gracious concept I have learnt from my wife, and it has always works and still works today and even now. Give it a goal today, even now where you can.

I repeat – Give it a goal today, right now and you will be truly BLESSED in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . . 24 Therefore I say unto you, What THINGS SOEVER ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses” Mark 11:22-26.

“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 publican so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT, even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT”. Matthew 5:43-48.

“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.

“Let love be WITHOUT dissimulation. ABHOR that which is evil; CLEAVE to that which is good. 10 Be KINDLY AFFECTIONED one to another with brotherly love; in honour PREFERRING one another; 11 not SLOTHFUL in business; FERVENT in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 BLESS them which persecute you: BLESS, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 RECOMPENSE to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live PEACEABLY with all men. 19 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 12:9-21.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, and A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, That ye RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall SMITE thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” Matthew 5:38-42.

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH: BEFORE YOUR BEDTIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME!

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE – Ministry.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY of Prophet Isaiah in doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect King Uzziah presence was that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet to be and in the making, could not move FORWARD – ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five. But as soon as his flesh – king Uzziah – gives way in Chapter Six, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectories; and that change his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which enabled him to become that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. For, it will be difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while the influencer – the FLESH abounds. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

God wants you to experience His ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must have a look as Prophet Isaiah in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD AND OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 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 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

CALL TO PRAYERS – REPORT TO DUTY POS

By Leave a Comment

CALL TO PRAYERS – REPORT TO DUTY POST: THERE’S THE NEED TO PRAY –  WILL YOU PRAY? CAN YOU PRAY? LET’S PRAY!

There’s the NEED to PRAY – God PROMISE to ANSWER when we play our part to get the change we duly need in such a time as now. Create a PRAYER WALL – I mean moments of PRAYERS on a Daily basis, just as HEZEKIAH did, until his and our change comes in the FULNESS of Joy (2 Kings 20:1-11; Isaiah 38:1-8).

“O thou that HEAREST prayer, unto thee shall ALL FLESH come” Psalms 65:2.

Prayer is the BELIEVERS’ inescapable access to God. God BREATHS through the BELIEVER’S PRAYERS (Revelation 5:7-10; Revelation 8:2-4). Prayer is more than just a request, it is the FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) that enhances our RELATIONSHIP of LOVE with the Father God, through His WORD, by the enabling of the Holy Spirit of grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

PRAYING is employing and giving the HEAVENLY the permission into our EARTHLY affairs. God knows our needs, and knows we have needs, but do wants us to be involve, that is, to be participants in making it happen for our good. SO, LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN. God is faithful, true and sure. Do you believe that?

Three ENDEMIC human problems and the current EFFECT on why you should report to PRAYER as a lifeline duty, in respect of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

** NO RAIN (Job Losses)

** DEVOURING LOCUST (Economic Loss)

** PESTILENCE (Diseases & Sickness)

“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.

It’s time to report to the duty post of PRAYERS and stop the unnecessary and unwarranted noise making of dependence on man that’s limited in everyway and everywhere. Give God the opportunity of interfering into your earthly affairs for the desired change you dearly need for today and tomorrow.

“O thou that HEAREST prayer, unto thee shall ALL FLESH come” Psalms 65:2.

“And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, AND GOLDEN VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS. 9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:7-10.

“And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the PRAYERS OF ALL SAINTS upon the golden altar which was before the throne. 4 And the smoke of the incense, which came with the PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS, ASCENDED UP BEFORE GOD out of the angel’s hand” Revelation 8:2-4.

“God be MERCIFUL UNTO US, AND BLESS US; and CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON US; Selah.

2 That thy WAY may be known upon earth, THY SAVING HEALTH AMONG ALL NATIONS.

3 Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.

4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: FOR THOU SHALT JUDGE THE PEOPLE RIGHTEOUSLY, AND GOVERN THE NATIONS UPON EARTH. Selah.

5 Let the PEOPLE praise thee, O God; let all the PEOPLE praise thee.

6 Then shall the EARTH YIELD HER INCREASE; and God, even our own God, shall BLESS us.

7 God shall BLESS us; AND ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH SHALL FEAR HIM” Psalms 67:1-7

PRAYING FOR YOUR CIVIL LEADERS: For Great And Good Governance!

Enough of talking, analysis and interpretation, it’s time to PRAY. YOU CAN REIGN AND RULE THROUGH THE CROSS THAN THROUGH THE CROWN. Therefore, talk less and PRAY more, for the good and great governance among your civil leaders.

You can change the cause of history like Daniel and Nehemiah of old in your government and style of governance, by just bending on your kneels and lifting up your hands unto God in prayers for each one of them by names.

PRAYER CHANGES THINGS. PRAYER MAKES GOOD THINGS COME TO REALITY. PRAY THE MORE AND TALK THE LESS. IT’S TIME TO BE MUTED OF IRRELEVANT MATTERS AND BESEECH THE HEAVENLY FOR THE GOOD OF THE EARTHLY AFFAIRS.

God bless you.

THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services: The Need To ABOUND And ABASED In Changing Times!

If we as a Church must be strenghtened, gracious and graceful in grace to keep on keeping on in our changing world by various factors that may come or show up as the  PANDEMIC experience lockdown thought us – we must learn from Apostle Paul to ABOUND and ABASED in everyway. Delivering this generation unto our God is only going to be effective and result oriented as we awake from set Man-Made dogmas and traditional made-up by-ways and static creeds. It’s time for the character check, a dynamic and charismatic acts of doing life with our generation in the new. For we can’t be ignorance of the devices and schemes of the enemy and cohorts in our time (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Acts 17:30-31).

I read a book many many years ago entitled “WHERE WAS THE CHURCH WHEN THE YOUTH EXPLODED”. The Church was sleeping then and took the youth of that generation for granted in not adapting to their changes of time to win them for the Lord. That generation gap created a vacuum that made many once thriving Church Worship Centres to become a deserted places, swimming pools, accomodation centres/hotels, dancing boardrooms and many such like. In fact I saw in my visit to a particular country of a formally used Church worship center turned into brothel and dance floor cum clubhouse. And so are many in their dilapidated and decadence state over time.

It’s true that the Building may not be the Church as in the above paragraph cases, but it was and is a relevant gathering place to grow the Churches over the years overtime. But for failure of the Churches then not creating, exploring, adapting, innovating and initiating avenues to know and understand their upcoming youth dimensions of travel, they lost a huge generation. The impact and effect has NEVER been recovered over the years.

It’s very imperative that the Churches today wakes up before the enemy sow tares that will corrupt and degrade the Church to a place of irrelevance and from being the ANSWER to the generational changes of today’s world. We must, I say must, DELIVER THIS GENERATION of ours to God from the clutches and deception of Satan and Cohorts.

If we must set the lawful captives free and deliver this generation unto our God, we must be awake and not be sleeping in the midst of the changing times to every phase of our doing life and living godly.

It’s time to ABOUND and ABASED, ABASED and ABOUND in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL” Ephesians 3:13-16.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKENED UNTO A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 but WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

“SHALL THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MIGHTY, OR THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

Herein is the consideration for ONLY of the RECEIVED COVENANT DEED in our REDEMPTION for your perusal. And there are SEVEN UNCONDITIONAL redemptive covenant deed RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ. THESE are summed up in these wise:

GOODLY HERITAGE

GOODLY HERITAGE: JESUS CHRIST – MY SAVIOUR AND LORD!

The best and ultimately incomparable, indescribable and unimaginable INHERITANCE ever to have in life and grace is having my SAVIOUR and LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. 22 If, however, it is to be life here and I am to go on living, this will mean useful and productive service for me; so I do not know which to choose [if I am given that choice]” Philippians 1:21-22.

Being born of God as a New Creation in Christ Jesus, is just awesomely awesome and I couldn’t have ask for anything else MORE. I am daily super excited, contented and fulfilled both meaningfully and purposefully in all that pertains doing life and living godly. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.

“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are fallen unto me in PLEASANT places; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope . . .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 16:5-11.

“But God forbid that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but faith which worketh by love” Galatians 5:6.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH are blessed with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither BOND nor FREE, there is neither MALE nor FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“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.

“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to THE WORD of his GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

THANK YOU, SAVIOUR AND LORD JESUS CHRIST: FOR THE CROSS OF CRUCIFIXES!

The CROSS – The CRUCIFIXION – The uncommon wisdom and ultimate Infinitesimal blow of God to Satan and cohorts. It’s authentic and enact our REDEMPTION DEED – our BILL of RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead – Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this world, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto OUR GLORY: 8 which NONE OF THE PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

“For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God FORBID that I should GLORY, save in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE” Galatians 6:13-15.

LIVING FOR A PURPOSE

By Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!

“Call unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

For example, PRAYER is not a case of demanding from God either of His PURPOSE or His POWER, and in reverse, of His POWER or His PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and CAUSE to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING – ENDOWMENT – to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His gracious enabling – endowment – POWER; also, you can’t crave in PRAYER for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES – for it to accomplish. Therefore, you need to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether is to your – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. This is the reason why many so called – PRAYERS and FASTING – are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely seeking for POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t ANSWER a – PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND – no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it; this important to note, especially counting on how much rigorous devotion of time we claim to be doing sometimes in respect to PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGIL’S; and all these being done or that we do or are doing to accompany such activity or activities, is in order to get an ANSWER and yet are not forth coming or happening as we earnestly request and crave after.

So, watch out HOW you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile matters of GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (the rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good of you and to ensure that you have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect example on matter of the subjects in discussion is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity, He was graciously LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning it’s  not a self show off to FAST and PRAY as some may do to indicate spiritual classification. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that CAUSE or PURPOSE and POWER with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. And I can say in His stead, that in same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good – meaningfully and in fulfilment. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when done intentionally and as led by the Holy Spirit and by the WORD, in reconciling POWER demand with PURPOSE from God.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

“. . . 14 And Jesus returned in THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . . 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 . . .”  Luke 4:1-22.

REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union

REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union – The Holy COMMUNION: The Bread and The Wine – ENACTING THE PASSOVER!

“. . . 14 And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .” Exodus 12:1-51.

“. . . 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me. 26 For AS OFTEN AS ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, YE DO SHEW THE LORD’S DEATH TILL HE COME . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.

The act of the REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus has brought about the greatest unifying union of any kind thereby ENACTING THE PASSOVER. This act is the Holy Communion which embodied – The Bread as the Body of Christ, and The Cup – The Wine, the Blood of Christ being sacrifices for our PASSOVER from death unto life.

And graciously and gracefully, this REDEMPTION DEED act of grace, bares no Adamic nature in order to authentic the legality and vitality of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And as it’s powerful and gracious in the physical, so much the more it is in the spiritual. Hence Jesus at the cross said – IT IS FINISHED – meaning an end to Adamic NATURE and EFFECT by the REDEMPTION DEED. Hence the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has NO PAST. All things has become NEW – 2 Corinthians 5:17.

We can now have our lost RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP with God in Adam reclaimed and restored in the fulness of REDEMPTION. For the Two reasons – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – we can celebrate and commemorate in the Holy Communion that enacts and authenticates the CRUCIFIXION and DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION, ASCENSION and ENTHRONEMENT of Christ Jesus, who is our Saviour-King & Lord. Amen.

And we celebrate and commemorate Him simply for these:

* OUR SIN FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED AND RECEIVED – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God reclaimed and restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh. For we’ve been JUSTIFIED – Romans 5:1-2.

* OUR ACCESS ASSURED & GUARANTEED – means Our acts of FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God reclaimed and restored. No more middle person failing man any more on our behalf – 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Acts 4:12. We’ve been DELIVERED & TRANSLATED – Colossians 1:1-21; Ephesians 1:1-14.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took BREAD:  24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my BODY, which is broken for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me.  25 After the same manner also he took the CUP, when he had supped, saying, This CUP is the NEW TESTAMENT in my BLOOD: this do ye, as OFT as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.  26 For as often as ye EAT this BREAD, and DRINK this CUP, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come . . .” 1 Corinthians 11: 17-34.

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and BLESSED it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave THANKS, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom” Matthew 26:26-29.
