WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS: MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE

By Leave a Comment

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS: MADE POSSIBLE BY GOD’S LOVE THAT’S EMBEDDED IN US!

There’s the need today to go back to the basic principle of the kingdom of God for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. This is important, in order to advance in God’s cause on earth and to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS. And this is good, especially in our path of doing life and living godly; otherwise, life MATTERS will be an ILLUSION, UNSTEADY and very much FRUSTRATING, even when we have concluded we ARE born of God in Christ Jesus stead.

And one aspect of the great basic principle of strength to being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD, is we knowing we ARE what we ARE by God’s LOVE; and it’s in our LOVE for Him in His principled LOVE definition and not our made up definition – I mean His love and not in our self-made love that’s built on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For in God’s Love, His PURPOSE in us is fulfilled, complete, whole, matured and such like. Hence, there’s the need to stir up our innermost spirit being, as Apostle Paul instructed Timothy, in order to appropriate this basic principle, upon which WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in Christ Jesus stead, in Father God. Amen. 2 Timothy 1:6.

And herein ARE but not limited, of the basic principle to uphold of God’s LOVE for us, to have us MADE a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead:

** That all things will work together for the good of those who LOVE God in His LOVE for His PURPOSE. Romans 8:28.

** And because of God’s LOVE that’s embedded in us to LOVE in His LOVE, we ARE enshrined as the CALLED, FOREKNOWN, JUSTIFIED, PREDESTINED, CONFORMED and GLORIFIED people of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:28-30.

** And God REVEALS all things to them that LOVES Him in His LOVE by the Holy Spirit, which is given to us and embedded in us. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 5:5, 8; John 14:16-17.

** And God only CHASTISES those He LOVES and cares about, in order to make them BECOME who they OUGHT to be in Him; otherwise one is a BASTARD and ILLEGITIMATE child in Him, if no chastisement in LOVE. Hebrews 12:5-11.

** The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the sense knowledge of limitations. Ephesians 3:17-20.

** We are INSEPARABLE by God’s LOVE and we are persuaded by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:35-39.

** We are FREE from CONDEMNATION by God’s LOVE. Romans 8:31-34; Romans 8:1-5, 6-17.

** We ARE indeed a MORE THAN CONQUERORS through Him that LOVED us. Romans 8:37.

** We ARE MADE to be a people that are CHARACTERISED by God’s LOVE in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21; Matthew 5:43-48.

** The LOVE of God in Christ Jesus MADE us MORE THAN CONQUERORS over earthly elements of limitations that challenges our FAITH, that tends to SEPARATE us, CONDEMN us, in doing life and living godly in the world. Romans 8:35-39. Such elements but not limited are:

* Condemnation

* Tribulation

* Distress

* Persecution

* Famine

* Nakedness

* Peril

* Sword

* Death

* Life

* Angels

* Principalities

* Powers

* Things present

* Things to come

* Height

* Depth

* Any other creature

I PRAY that you give yourself to LOVE God by walking in His LOVE in Christ Jesus stead, as He has loved us, so that you can comprehend in fullness and totality His love, that TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED the SENSE Knowledge LOVE, that is only within the bonds of how and what you – feel, taste, hear, see and smell. Ephesians 3:17-19. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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. 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY any thing to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:28-39.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:17-19 (Amplified).

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

“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 8:28-29.

EVALUATE YOUR THINKING PROCESS

EVALUATE YOUR THINKING PROCESS: DO IT IN A PURE CONSCIENCE!

“FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his HEART is not with thee” Proverbs 23:7.

It’s a high time you start processing your THINKING, IN and FROM arena of a PURE CONSCIENCE. You have to start taking the RESPONSIBILITY to evaluate your thought life, so you could be both principled and accountable. It’s simply for this reason – YOUR DECISION IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IS ENVELOPED IN YOUR THOUGHTS BE IT PURE OR IMPURE.

“Unto the PURE all things are PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED and UNBELIEVING is nothing PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is defiled” Titus 1:15.

For as a man THINKS – PONDERS or MEDITATES, so is he in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. We are all products of our innermost thoughts. Your life follows your THOUGHTS, be it good or bad. Hence, I hereby ask:

** How then do you think, ponder or meditate.

** What then do you think, ponder or meditate on.

** How pure in conscience are your thought life, day by day in MATTERS clear and unclear to you.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

You need to know and understand that your DECISION is envelope in your thought life, so WATCH IT. It’s your RESPONSIBILITY for ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else. It will COUNT and ACCOUNT in your LIFE and GODLY LIVING irrespective of the way you swerve in it.

Therefore, know for SURE that:

AS A MAN THINKS SO IS HE – WHAT YOU DO GIVE YOURSELF TOWARDS IN THOUGHT – AND HOW YOU DO PROCESS YOUR THINKING DEFINES YOU KNOWINGLY AND UNKNOWINGLY IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Finally, believers, WHATEVER is TRUE, WHATEVER is HONORABLE 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 (Amp).

“For as he THINKS in his HEART, so is he [in Behavior—one who MANIPULATES]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his HEART is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost] heart” Proverbs 23:7 (Amp).

“For each tree is KNOWN and IDENTIFIED by its own fruit. For figs are not picked from thorn bushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a briar bush. 45 The [intrinsically] GOOD MAN PRODUCES what is good and honorable and moral out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart; and the [intrinsically] EVIL MAN PRODUCES what is wicked and depraved out of the evil [in his heart]; for his mouth speaks from the overflow of his heart” Luke 6:44-45 Amplified.

“For though we WALK in the FLESH, we do not WAR after the FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but MIGHTY through God to the PULLING DOWN of STRONG HOLDS;) 5 casting down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into CAPTIVITY every THOUGHT to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a READINESS to REVENGE all disobedience, when your OBEDIENCE is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE*: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his HEART is not with thee” Proverbs 23:7.

“Unto the PURE all things are PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED and UNBELIEVING is nothing PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is defiled” Titus 1:15.

“NEITHER give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister QUESTIONS, rather than GODLY edifying which is in faith: so do. 5 Now the END of the commandment is LOVE out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED: 6 from which SOME having SWERVED have turned aside unto vain jangling” 1 Timothy 1:4-6.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence *toward* God, and *toward* men” Acts 24:16.

COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION TO LIFE MATTERS

By Leave a Comment

COMMUNICATING YOUR REDEMPTION TO LIFE MATTERS: MADE POSSIBLE BY KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT BELONGS TO YOU IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis Mine).

Do you know your problem may not necessarily be about you having MORE FAITH OR NO FAITH OR LESS FAITH as you crave for or wants to, in order to THRIVE in REDEMPTION?

Most of the time, for the Christ Believing Child of God, it’s not NECESSARILY about your FAITH problem, it’s about you KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING what BELONGS to you in Christ Jesus and you ACTING on it accordingly. It is in this state of APPROPRIATING and ENACTING what is YOURS in Christ Jesus that’s the problem of many. For FAITH is about acting accordingly, on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD, in the CONTEXT of that WORD of God.

For example, my children will need the key to enter the house but don’t need key to enter the kitchen, the lounge or dinning or study or any section of the house to get what they need. As long as they know what belongs to them WHILE in the HOUSE by the virtue of BIRTH, they need no struggle; they will simply ACT on their BIRTH-RIGHT within the FAMILY CONTEXT to enjoy ALL that’s THERE in the house.

In same scenarios, being BORN AGAIN by FAITH gives you access to Father God in Christ Jesus; but your BIRTH-RIGHT to enjoy the Father’s Promises, is in you ACKNOWLEDGING and APPROPRIATING what BELONGS to you in Him. This is the How to COMMUNICATE your REDEMPTION FAITH in order to enjoy your PLACE in the LORD. It’s the knowing and understanding of this act of FAITH COMMUNICATION that unveils an ease in your PRAYER LIFE and PRAYER WALK with the Father God.

May I also INFORM you for your TRANSFORMATION, by letting you KNOW, hoping that you do full well UNDERSTAND that you’ve been GIVEN the needed GRACE and FAITH in our REDEMPTION to enable you APPROPRIATE and ENACT your GIVEN rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead, for your WHOLESOME LIVING. You’ve been GIVEN – “THE” MEASURE of FAITH and “THE” MEASURE of GRACE and not “A” MEASURE any. Can you see the use of articles “THE” and “A” in context? THINK about it!

COMMUNICATING YOUR FAITH TO YOUR NEEDS IN LIFE AND GRACE – MAKES YOU A WINNER, TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

May you be BLESSED in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis Mine).

“Therefore let no man GLORY in men. For ALL THINGS are YOURS” 1 Corinthians 3:21.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN UNTO me, TO EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING AS GOD HATH DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

ACCESSING GOD’S BLESSEDNESS

By Leave a Comment

ACCESSING GOD’S BLESSEDNESS: IT’S BY MINISTERING HIS WORD TO HIM!

Ministering God’s WORD back to Him, gives one the enabling ACCESS to RECEIVE His graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. When we intentionally and unreservedly MINISTER to the LORD by His WORD in an act of worship and services and in fasting and prayers, He will SPEAK back to us without reservation at the point of our needs. I can tell you that again and again in person even as it’s written also in this context:

“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” Acts 13:1-3.

Do you really wants to stop wondering and wandering around and about on that matter that keeps you awake at night and gazing at the ceiling – I mean that matter making you to sob all day long and bothering you with nightmares? Then get CONNECTED and SYNCHRONISE to God’s WORD and BE HEALED and MADE WHOLE indeed – 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-14.

There’s an awesomeness in ministering God’s WORD back to Him, in order to receive His graciousness and gracefulness in all matters of doing life and godly living. The utmost PRAYERS, is by standing in the righteousness consciousness of God’s enabling grace in Christ Jesus, and ministering His WORD to Him accordingly in context. God is in bond with His WORD and that keeps Him fueled to act on your behalf by ordering the ministering Angels to act on our behalf by the WORD.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO his commandments, HEARKENING unto THE VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20 (Hebrews 1:7, 14).

His WORD is His BOND and will both heal and get you delivered from the bondage of ignorance and every forms of destruction to your gracious life. Simply because God’s WORD is Christ Jesus Himself, made manifest and being revealed for your wellbeing today, tomorrow and ever more – Hebrews 13:8.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7 (John 1:1-5, 14).

THE WORD of God is GIVEN to us to BE what Christ Jesus would have BEEN to you NOW as if being physically present. Until you see it in that light, it will all be illusion to comprehend. Hence the essence of THE WORD, not just WORD but THE WORD as in John 1:1-5, 14 and 1 John 5:7, which speaks of THE PERSON of Christ Jesus. He’s THE WORD not just WORD. Until that personification is appropriated into our spirit being – actualization of God’s promises are just illusion. And FAITH will be inoperative to PLEASE God as should be, in order to RECEIVE the needed ANSWERS from Him in all matters of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead – Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 5:3-5.

And I want you to know also, that as in the above statement of – THE WORD and not just WORD – is the same concept of the person of Christ Jesus as – THE WAY, not A WAY, THE TRUTH, not A TRUTH and THE LIFE and not A LIFE, as it thus indicates in John 14:6. The essence of the article “THE” indicates a person or personality, hence not the article “A” as to attribute to Savior and Lord Christ Jesus.

Therefore, begin your NOW – NEW DAWN – with THE WORD by Ministering back to God – His WORD, which is – THE WORD, personified in Christ Jesus stead as it concerns you and who you’ve become in Him by redemption deed. Amen.

Only THE WORD sets FREE; His WORD, Jesus, is THE WAY, THE TRUTH and THE LIFE – to God’s Heart for all human thirst and hunger in the world. Amen.

“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 anything 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 . . .12 But as many as received HIM, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And THE WORD was MADE flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 12-14.

“He sent HIS WORD, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalms 107:20.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, and THE LIFE: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“That the COMMUNICATION of THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 1:6.

“To THE LAW and to THE TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to THIS WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:20.

INCLINE YOUR EAR TO GOD’S SAYINGS: HE’S THE GOD OF PRINCIPLES!

By Leave a Comment

INCLINE YOUR EAR TO GOD’S SAYINGS: HE’S THE GOD OF PRINCIPLES!

“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 (MEDICINE) to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23 Emphasis Mine.

Build Your Life On PRINCIPLES – and not on METHODS and GIMMICKS and SENTIMENTS. God operates on PRINCIPLES within the CONTEXT of His WORD in Christ Jesus. So, don’t let tradition of men that’s built on DENOMINATIONAL DOCTRINAL DOGMAS, CREEDS and BY-LAW to hold you within and without as if you are in a curt. Build your well-being, in doing life and living godly on the PRINCIPLE of the undiluted and unadulterated WORD of God, so that you can access and receive the fullness and wholeness of your redemptive inheritance in Christ Jesus unhindered.

“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.

The uncreated creator God I know is not a God of formulas and methods and such like; He is the God of PRINCIPLES hence  it’s a high time you should stop living on this ideas of five steps to miracles, seven keys to divine breakthroughs, six turnarounds to automatic promotion, three jumps to heavenly liftings and more of same like. God leads His own by His Spirit based on His WORD, through principles hence you can’t tie Him to a particular formula or method to resolve matters. Simply because someone you know got his or hers ANSWERS by John 3:16 does not necessarily mean God will take that same route for you or another of a kind.

You know what? God had designed and assigned your life path to shine, thrive, blossom and be colorful. You’ve been predestinated of God to SUCCEED in LIFE and GRACE (Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11; 2 Peters 1:2-4). Your PATH is to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your place in God’s Redemption plans for you. If you can just INCLINE your EARS to God’s SAYINGS about you in Life and Grace, just a WORD from Him can define your life forever and makes all the difference in you; this will be more gracious rather than all the deceptions of nine keys or steps or jumps or turnarounds and such like more to become rich and prosperous that will never be because it’s not scriptural, and as such are inferred by men to delude the vulnerable and the ignorant.

I call on you today to make a new starts up, to incline your ears to hear the sayings of God concerning you personally and primarily, in order to unfold your fullness and wholeness in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE and MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) DAY. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 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. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:18-23 (Emphasis Mine).

“But as it is WRITTEN, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“For THE WORD of God is QUICK, and POWERFUL, and SHARPER than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the DIVIDING asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD: ENOUGH OF THE UNNECESSARY WORRIES AND ANXIETIES OF ‘ESSESS!

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

If you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT this scriptural truth in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining-lluyia worries and anxieties. And to be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED to – Succeed, Achieve, Triumph, Become, Create, Earn, Have, Prosper, Innovate and to be Favored and such like more. And THE BLESSING of God is SORROW FREE.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES rich, and he ADDS no SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

The BLESSING of God is not a CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE; but it’s the ENABLING, BESTOWED and EMPOWERING GRACE of God to create, earn and acquire these aforementioned (CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE), which most people today do fight and go crazy about no matter the cost and prize tag involved in having or getting them – ( Luke 12:30-32/Matthew 6:31-34). And by these enabling, bestowed and empowering grace called – God’s BLESSING, you can create, earn and have the aforementioned in grace without such SWEAT, STRESS, DISTRESS, DEPRESSION and ALL ‘ESSESS because you KNOW and UNDERSTAND the HOW to appropriate and enact what it means to be BLESSED of God in REDEMPTION.

Your BLESSEDNESS is a DONE DEED in Christ. This makes you MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. Our BLESSEDNESS is first spiritual before it becomes tangible – that’s reality – physical. Your ability to appropriate and enact the BLESSEDNESS by FAITH from the realm of the spiritual, that is, in the heavenly placement wherein the BLESSEDNESS are located (Ephesians 1:3), and Christ is position and seated (Ephesians 1:20) and we are position and seated in Christ Jesus at the right hand of God the Father (Ephesians 2:6). Knowing and having this understanding justifies why we are enjoined to lay our TREASURES above, meaning, in the heavenly, where no thieves and such like can access (Matthew 6:19-21).

The New Creation BLESSEDNESS of the NEW TESTAMENT, is not condition and not in any conditionality as in the OLD TESTAMENT essence that’s built and synthesized with conditionalities of an “IF” before you can access the BLESSEDNESS of God – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Revelation 5:9-12; Deuteronomy 28:1-14. For Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION took care of the conditionalities of the old. So, let no man put you under subjection and subjective situation before you can earn your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead after you’ve born anew as New Creation.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them . . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

Therefore, APPROPRIATE and ENACT the scriptural TRUTH in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining-lluyia worries and anxieties and begin to enjoin your REDEMPTION provisions in Christ Jesus stead.

Have a BLESSED (an EMPOWERED) day. And be emboldened to say to somebody today – “YOU ARE BLESSED” – Meaning, Be EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

YOU ARE BLESSED – JUST APPROPRIATE AND ENACT IT IN GRACE TODAY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (EBABLING, CAPACITY, GRACE, WISDOM) to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS (GODLY LIVING), through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to GLORY and VURTUE: 4 whereby are GIVEB unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED the CORRUPTION that is in THE WORLD through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:20.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:19-20.

GENUINE CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

By Leave a Comment

GENUINE CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit.

In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as I hereby state:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honor and dignity”.

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness  – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:

*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

*** CHARACTER (attitude, behavior, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the  use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc ).

** STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOR (Dignity) – In place of dishonor, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER AND GRACE”

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER AND GRACE” – TO FUNCTION AND BECOME: THROUGH THE “KNOWLEDGE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as TOUCHED were MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE” Matthew 14:34-36.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

Lots of Believer’s supposedly in the Faith of Christ Jesus stead, are living outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD; many are MORE captivated and influenced by the religious  and denominational rites and doctrinal ordinances as they strictly adhere and follow without check and balance – which is through the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus stead. For the Scriptures makes it very clear that not ALL HAVE FAITH in the FAITH in Christ Jesus – meaning not all have their spirit being built upon the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus, which principle CONTEXT is of the WORD of God that builds and establishes the FAITH in all that comes to God in Christ Jesus. Amen – 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (1-4); Romans 10:17; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:8-12; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

I want you to know full well, that it’s the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH that one possess within, that sets one FREE – SAVES, DELIVERS and LIBERATES – from all forms of limitations and restrictions and bondages outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD. John 8:32; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Acts 4:12.

And through KNOWLEDGE you communicate the WORD OF FAITH to matters.  it’s only by communicating the WORD OF FAITH to MATTERS of doing life and living godly through the KNOWLEDGE of the GOOD did, that’s DONE and DEED in Christ Jesus, that brings genuine liberty and freedom, that all seeks to attain and possess,  in order to be fulfilled in God, in Christ Jesus stead – Philemon 1:4-6; Romans 10:8-13, 17.

“Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I PROFIT you, except I shall SPEAK to you either by REVELATION, or by KNOWLEDGE, or by PROPHESYING, or by DOCTRINE? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be KNOWN what is piped or harped?” 1 Corinthians 14:6-7.

Many are in captivity and in various self-afflicted bondage for their lack of PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE which indeed is dangerous, jeopardous and worrisome each time I recall – how many SUFFERED in the Bible days as written:

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thought shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

Besides, the indicative of the above mentioned scriptures, many also, are working and walking in ERRORS and are been MISTAKEN for lack of KNOWLEDGE as it affects the path of doing life and living godly as the religious SADDUCEES where, in the days of Christ Jesus humanity, as it’s written.

“The same day came to Him (Jesus Christ) the SADDUCEES, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (IN ERROR AND MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I plead with you today to get engrossed with doing life and godly living THROUGH KNOWLEDGE for these but not limited reasons:

** DELIVERANCE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“. . . but THROUGH KNOWLEDGE shall the just be DELIVERED” Proverbs 11:9.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

** GRACE AND PEACE, DIVINE POWER AND DIVINE NATURE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

** TO ESCAPE POLLUTION OF THE WORLD – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“For if after they have ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS of the world THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” 2 Peter 2:20.

** WISDOM AND REVELATION – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“. . .16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM: 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

** OVERCOME BARRENNESS AND UNFRUITFULNESS – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:8.

** RENEW, REFRESH, REJUVENATE – IN THE KNOWLEDGE

“And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him” Colossians 3:10.

I will like you to take an assignment for yourself by making out time toward searching the scriptures to find out, mark and highlights every SCRIPTURAL places that indicates – THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, BY KNOWLEDGE, IN KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH LIKE. You will discover lots of what you’ve become in God, in Christ Jesus stead. It will bring forth a transformation and translation that will revitalize you beyond words because of the insights and foresight trajectory of the revelation you will receive of God. Give you go from today.

Be Blessed with God’s enabling POWER to FUNCTION and His GRACE to BECOME accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Ephesians 4:8-16).

“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: 10 THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing” Philippians 3:7-16.

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

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the Congregation of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
