GOD IS FAITHFUL – HE LIVES, HE LOVES & HE CARES ABOUT YOU – EVEN NOW!

Therefore –

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 Cast not away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE of reward. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE the WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the PROMISE. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the JUST shall LIVE by FAITH: but if any man DRAW BACK, my soul shall have no PLEASURE in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the SAVING of the SOUL” Hebrew 10:23, 35-39.

FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT BEING

FEEDING YOUR SPIRIT BEING: WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING!

Today, I decided to go to our monthly TEACHING publication website – ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST – to feed my spirit being out of it with a publication that was pressing on and on in my spirit. Blessedly, I stumble at the publication which was AFD FEBRUARY 2021 EDITION entitled “GOD’S BATTLE AXE & WEAPONS OF WAR”. Then I came to a section called FAITH IN PRACTICE, to read a writ written by my wife that is entitled “KEEP AT IT . . .”

Though it was a short writ, yet, it was so inspiring, revealing, and empowering that I stopped momentarily to ponder over the writ for a while; then I beckoned on her to come to the Office for reading while I leave the vicinity to get on doing what she was doing for her to at least compensate; she was unaware while I called her to come to read something for herself with instruction of not saying anything back to me afterward, just as I didn’t say anything about it to her for each to make individual work of grace on it respectively. She came to the office as expected and did read the writ twice as I asked her to do. I guess she might have read it more than twice because she stayed longer than I thought considering it’s a short writ knowing her proficiency to read; and came off the office in awe and I looked at her face knowing some awakening and good is going on just as I felt too.

Having said the above, I felt constrained to put it up in my spirit to give someone here something to ponder about. I pray you will be blessed by this piece of writ by my wife FAITH entitled:

KEEP AT IT . . .

Choose to work smart than to work hard. Diligence involves working consistently in order to gain a valuable skill.

If you want to learn to play the piano, 15 minutes a day, each day of practice is much more beneficial than two hours on one day, and then another one a half hours a few days later followed by an hour the following week and so on. In fact, this is what a music teacher is likely to advise you to do. In my case, evidently, as I felt that I didn’t have enough time to practice every day, I did it whenever I could. Ages later – I still couldn’t play a reasonable tune…Wasted time and effort. Be consistent, be diligent, be intentional in your bid to become a master in a skill.

In the same way – because the goal for you as a child of God is a great relationship with Father God, spend quality time in fellowship and prayer rather than binge prayer sessions now and again or when the need arises. This normally refers to when people have a problem and frantically seek for answers. God is still faithful but you are not doing yourself any favors. You could have a healthy, fulfilling relationship that would be of benefit to your whole life.

Psalm 16:11 . . . You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.

Hebrews 11:6 . . . for whoever comes [near] to God must necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.

Proverbs 22:29 . . . Do you see a man skillful and experienced in his work? He will stand [in honor] before kings; He will not stand before obscure men.

Short, quality periods in conversation with the Lord are effective in growing in your spiritual walk and life. You can spend a lot of time too – but do this all the time and KEEP AT IT. On a daily basis for example. The good thing is that you do not need a designated venue, position or time – or to face a particular direction at a certain volume. Right where you are is good enough. Daily strategic reading and studying of the Word of God is beneficial – if 20 minutes is all you have to begin with, start there and then keep doing it. Wake up earlier if that is possible, and schedule your time to fit your devotional time. Invest time into a flourishing spiritual walk.

The spirit that conquers is the one that vows to get the job done, starts and keeps at it until it is done. There may be challenges along the way, but the key is in keeping at it and not giving up.

Matthew 6:33 . . . seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.

Hebrews 5:14 . . . Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

Diligence means to work smart – not work hard – Other examples of the benefits of consistency and diligence are:

  • Being on a diet. Don’t be on diet as it were – but choose for it to be a lifestyle. It then means that it is not for a limited period of time – it becomes a lifestyle and is for lifetime.
  • A 4-hour exercise session once a week or month cannot take place of daily exercise. Fitness trainers will tell you that 30 minutes a day for 5 days of the week is more effective than exercising here and there for long periods of time.
  • Drinking your daily allowance of water – say 2 liters all in one go is neither healthy nor beneficial. Spread it out, that is how healthy absorption is attained.

So be diligent; be consistent. There is great reward in it.

He that feareth is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:8, 16-18.

DON’T BE AN ECHO: BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!

The Holy Scriptures of 2 Corinthians 5:19-21 declares that you are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus and an ambassador for Christ; Meaning, you are God’s VESSEL OF CHANGE for right living on earth as His Embassy and Ambassador (2 Timothy 2:19-21). God uses vessels and not ornaments. God needs and uses availability vessels to put in His ability into such – in order to make the needed DIFFERENCE in humanity in our world; God does not need vessels that are of self-ability that needs not His enabling for the good of others in His stead. Be wise to be that God’s VOICE – making the difference in humanity.

Righteousness, the right to stand before God and on His behalf without fear, shame or guilt because of what Christ is done, is wired and imbedded in the DNA of your being, when you resolved to be a born-again child of God in Christ Jesus stead.

It is this right of grace that made John the Baptist, be the vessel of change to his generation. He dare to be the voice for righteousness, him being of God’s righteousness.

“. . . The WORD of the Lord CAME to John . . . THE VOICE . . .” Luke 3:1-18.

Dear Friend, let us silence the spirit of cowardice in our life’s to our generation for we are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus; therefore, let us dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in our families, neighborhood, places of doing life, and in our position of noble grace and opportunities.

YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY AND AMBASSADOR – BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMANITY IN OUR WORLD.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS.

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS? Then be happy, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4 (Living Bible TLB).

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER.

Know full well and assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is – an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you are assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answer to all expectations of God.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“For WHATSOEVER is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO A HALT.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified)

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-3. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME AFFLICTIONS ARE ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR BRETHREN THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

YOU SET THE VICTORY & TRIUMPH STAND IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

YOU SET THE VICTORY & TRIUMPH STAND IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH end as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realize in course of time in dealing with many day by day. Some don’t want to share in PRINCIPLE the RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the main switchboard.

“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.

It was OBEDIENCE that our Savior and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”  Hebrews 5:1-10.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believers have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old trick attribute he has and have always used and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their lives. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of obeying the heavenly mandate. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in every way and places. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17.

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfillment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we made to inherit of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – 1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY Demand which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to measure and legislate spirituality in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfill PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, of OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings:but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in burnt OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and TO HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is AS the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED the word of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“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 5:9-10.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to life’s, homes, communities, nations and more.

Therefore, if I may say today – if it’s okay for me to ask you – What kind of CHURCH do you THINK you are you today? Are you the dirty stained hand, weakened, blemished and FEAFUL-HALLELUJAH acclaimed believer or a clean hand, gracious, graceful, glorious and triumphant Soldier of Christ? What are you taking hold on in the midst of a broken society, confused and destabilized world, faint-hearted and dissatisfied community filled with wickedness; and evil, hatred, war and pandemic crushed nations and more. You are a spiritual Soldier of Christ. It’s our time to arise, be willing to volunteer with ease, to be a part of the needed change and difference for the good of our broken societal families, communities, nations and the world at large.

I pray you step up to who YOU ARE in God’s BLESSEDNESS – as the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH – who INDEED is the SOLDIER OF CHRIST – knowingly and unknowingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Husbands, love your wives, even as CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and GAVE himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish” Ephesians 5:25-27.

“The RIGHTEOUS also shall hold on his way, and he that hath CLEAN HANDS shall be STRONGER and STRONGER” Job 17:9.

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.

“Thou art my BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL. 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF THY STRENGTH OUT OF ZION: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 THY PEOPLE SHALL BE WILLING IN THE DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth” Psalms 110:1-3.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH: JESUS CHRIST – THE COMPLETE SHEPHERD!

The Church is defined as an individual, local and collective body of born-again Spirit-filled believer’s in Christ Jesus under a shepherd. And our Savior And Lord Jesus Christ is the COMPLETE Shepherd of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH and you can count and account on Him in 24/7 timeless time in life and grace. And it’s awesome, gracious, and graceful to know that the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD and PERSONAL SHEPHERD of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS Church is Jesus Christ – who is our Savior King and Lord of All.

The Holy Scriptures enjoined that He is to us – THE CHURCH – as individual and collective body:

*** The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

“And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away”.

*** The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well-pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”.

*** The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .14 I am the GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”.

*** My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23.

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever” Psalms 23:1-6.

When you can comprehend this, there is no need to worry, live in fear and despondent because He’s ever faithful to who and what He is as our CHIEF, GREAT and GOOD SHEPHERD.

I pray that the BLESSEDNESS of having the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD AND PERSONAL SHEPHERD over you, should keep your heads up, shoulder high and heels high; more so, the mandate to triumph over all your infirmities, limitations and CIRCUMSTANCES in your day to day in LIFE and GODLINESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
