WISDOM NUGGETS

WISDOM NUGGETS: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING PURPOSE!

I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header and the content to read along. For while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully. You need to have the perspective of each respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

LET US CONSIDER THE PERSPECTIVES RESPECTIVELY:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

It thus also means, being passionate about something as: Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavors with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

It thus means that, as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. Simply for this reason to add understanding to knowledge:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILMENT in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S THE LIFE THAT WORKS IN YOU – MAKING ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS TODAY – for it’s the LIFE that makes in you all THE DIFFERENCE. For you are more alike as a THERMOSTAT in Christ Jesus and not as a THERMOMETER in functionality.

The Knowing that you are beautifully, wonderfully, and fearfully – reverently made by God, and you are in POSSESSION of His in-built eternity – eternal spirit – within you, makes all the difference in you – Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified), Psalms 139:14; and knowing that eternity in-built POSSESSION should be the most awesome, gracious and graceful POSSESSION in your being for your day to day living.

For you are a spirit-being, having a soul, living in a HUMUS – that is the body, which makes you an HU-MAN BEING as in the holy writ of 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13. It’s the MAN in your HU-MAN that makes the being – that’s the spirit being. It’s a non-gender, color, race or tongue. And it dwells in all beings – BELIEVERS and UNBELIEVER alike. And it’s God’s ESSENCE in every human being irrespective – Proverbs 20:27.

When you receive Christ into your life, you received the very life of God called – Eternal Life (Zoe in Greek) – John 3:16-17; 1 John 5:11-12. And Jesus PRAYED along that line for you too – John 17:3. This eternal life of God gives life breath, the life of God through your in-built eternal spirit into your entire being. Meaning you receive the capacity to function in the realm of eternity in the midst of humanity – the human world.

NOTE THESE POSITIONAL ESSENCES FOR YOUR APPROPRIATION:

*** You are BLESSED and your BLESSEDNESS is SET in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:3.

*** You are SET at God’s right hand in Christ Jesus in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 2:6.

*** Jesus Christ is SET at the Father God’s right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES – Ephesians 1:20.

When you understand this, it does not only affect your horizons of reasoning and trajectory of doing life, but you can boldly say and declare as in the epistle of 1 John 4:17 that “LOVE has been PERFECTED among us in this: that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment; because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD”.

This understanding makes all the difference in the way you live and do life; In the way you see, perceive, and receive things; what you say and how you say it, and such likes. This is the only way to discover the works and working of God for your recovery into the triumphant living in the world. It helps to color your life, to thrive in grace, and to determine the atmosphere you want to live in and enjoy as a THERMOSTAT and not as a THERMOMETER.

For as a THERMOSTAT you create and determine the life sphere condition that you want to see and enjoy as God did for himself in creation (Genesis 1:1-31); while as a THERMOMETER you don’t create or define or determine the life and sphere condition you want to see or enjoy but you absorb and takes in the condition that has been set around you to have, see and do life,  irrespective of whether you like it or not – and such is not the place you need be and it distorts the redemptive rights and privileges of ETERNITY in you,  in Christ Jesus for you.

RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE TODAY – IT’S THE LIFE THAT MAKES IN YOU – ALL THE DIFFERENCE!

I pray that you understand this and receive eternal life today and define your HAPPINESS and PEACE in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Is time to being whole and complete in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.

“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. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. 16 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” Luke 4:14-21.

“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.

BOLDNESS IN CHALLENGING TIMES

BOLDNESS IN CHALLENGING TIMES: THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING – THAT AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD – IS IMPERATIVE! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (Whole, Complete, Mature, Full), that we may have BOLDNESS in the DAY of JUDGMENT: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17 (Emphasis Mine).

“For God DID NOT GIVE US a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN US a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his face to shine, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

“. . . The Lord will send the scepter of Your strength from Zion, saying, “RULE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES.” 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly [to participate in Your battle] in the DAY OF YOUR POWER; In the splendor of holiness, from the womb of the dawn, Your young men are to You as the dew” Psalms 110:1-3 ( Amplified).

“In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be established: thou shalt be FAR FROM OPPRESSION; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER; and EVERY TONGUE that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:13-17.

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN YOU AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD ON SERPENTS and SCORPIONS, and [the ability to exercise authority] over all the POWER OF THE ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are recorded in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 (Amplified).

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!

How much do you think you WORTH? How much are you investing in your WORTH to make it appreciate the MORE? What’s your current lifestyle price tag? Don’t you intend to spice up your current stage in life for a healthier place? Are you still fresh, refreshing, and rejuvenating in minds and thoughts? Are still set in your old set mind setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? Are you truly LIVING or you are just managing to exist? YOU WORTH A LIFE and needs to LIVE THE WORTH. It’s time to just pause and think about it for a moment before taking the next step of action.

Today, I just discovered that my wife Faith is investing time, money, and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to the family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do.

However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good in the long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes and challenges in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put new wine in an old wineskin. There has to be a new you for your new day. From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergize your current life status or the dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such like. Don’t you know it’s a high time you read to acquire skill or knowledge, or learn to earn more again or the more, in order to improve, by attending a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create and be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to be EXPLORE in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and bring about your best and ultimate well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Now, I know why you are still set in your old ways that have captivated you and nothing is driving you to attain higher heights and you see nothing worth pursuing to keep you fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create – and to enable you obtain the life that WORTH embracing, to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. This ought not to be so. It’s time to say – oh God, RENEW my days and REVITALISE my life with the needed KNOWLEDGE and EXPOSURE to keep me updated in order to be effectual and to navigate in the changing WORLD SYSTEM with the gracious ATTITUDE for my ALTITUDE in your BLESSEDNESS.

Know for sure, that, living and sustaining a colorful life that’s genuine and to be in GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS without stress and depression is not cheap and out there by a mere wishes; hence the need to INVEST in the needed KNOWLEDGE to CHANGE your worlds for good and to CREATE the needed atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and live within.

You are the architects of your worlds – whether it’s good or hurting at the moment. It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through needed knowledge. Don’t let ignorance, foolishness and stupidity, presumption, illusions and procrastination keep you static, burnt out and worn out, in your marital relationship, business enterprise, career or trade and such like needed place that WORTH INVESTING your – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. It’s time to update your worlds for your GRACIOUSNESSS GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Listen, I love PRAYERS and I enjoy God’s PRESENCE in PRAYERS; but please, please, don’t use PRAYERS to OVERLOOK you ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY principle by God’s WORD. Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead (inactive, inoperative) standing alone. PRAYERS without corresponding ACTIONS will keep one MOANING and COMPLAINING and BLAMING through life. Take the scale off your eyes and look up to the stars – you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow – 2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18.

GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS AND OTHERS WILL FALL IN PLACE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM! 

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world is interconnected, and are built up and built on, by many communities of like-minded – and each are of various unions, associations; and they’re coming together are for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FREEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, workplace, streets and the family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired and expected to experience in their fullness. And, knowingly and unknowingly, and in most of the various cases, what they do consider at a time as FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted bondage; and unfortunately, the entanglement in it, is enormous in various ways. And the change with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it in many ways.

It’s therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE that has been adored and adopted in some places as such, all in the name of serving the symbol of landmarks, is in fact classed in Scriptural terms, as an IDOL.

Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centers and other designated high places. They depict an essence of BONDAGES – because what they once signify in a particular dispensation is no longer welcome and honorable to another generation. That’s why the only true FREEDOM, is that which is of God in Christ Jesus, living in our hearts beyond dispensation, generation, and walls of any sort.

It’s for the above narrative and such like, that made Apostle Paul share scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS superstitious and devotion to graven image altars, which was ascribed by them as to be to their UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernized IDOLS today. Thanks to God in His awesomeness, He used Apostle Paul eventually to bring the ATHENIANS to see the essence of knowing the true God from their superstitious bondage. Making them to know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING, thereby offering them the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have and not from the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and community places as Landmark of greatness for admiration and devotion.

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus, has made possible the true FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such like. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless cause other than to offend another. Hence I say you:

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the center of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who created the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He [e]served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34 (Amplified).

COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER IS YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC SUSTAINABILITY!

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

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

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

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. These spiritual fruit that formulate ones character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic acts are but are not limited to these:

** Love (Charitable)

** Joy

** Peace

** Longsuffering (Endurance)

** Gentleness

** Goodness (Virtue)

** Faith (Faithfulness)

** Meekness

** Temperance (Self Control)

** Patience

** Brotherly Kindness

** Godliness

** Honesty

** Purity

** . . . And such likes – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more . . .

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

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavor in life when in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others.

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 sustainability in life and godliness to continuously enjoy MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION as such.

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 indicate these scriptural contexts:

*** 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.
