DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHENED – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

God wants you strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

And considering all your rising early and coming late in day-to-day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT. These and many other quest not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God”. Romans 5:1-2.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

LOVE AT ITS BEST

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God’s WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being shown with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good thing or goodies while their shortfalls in real-life failings are never mentioned or told to them, which would rather help them amend, braze up, mature and grow; they don’t realize the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the breakpoints of life deceptions because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues, and those you love and care about:

1.*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ helps to SAVE! – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

  1. *** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ helps to AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1. *** Love that ‘OVERLOOKS/MAKES UP’ and helps to DELIVER from further sins! – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD: LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD!

The sovereignty of God over all its without controversy. He’s that determines and defines what was, is and to come. As such He created all things for His own pleasure and glory, dominion and power, and He’s answerable to none. All creation bow before Him and adore His majesty. He’s indescribable and incomprehensible in all that pertains to doing life – earthly wise and living godly – heavenly wise. He’s SOVEREIGNTY reign through all generations and dispensation, past and present and holds the world and all that dwells therein in the palms of His hands. At His presence Kingdom shakes and governments stand still and people and other creation trembles. Words are not enough to qualify and quantify Him but we can sum Him up by looking through the face of Christ Jesus, our Savior and Lord.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

Being sovereign makes God say unto Moses, I will have mercy on whom I choose to have mercy irrespective of what any think, imagine and expect of Him. He chose Moses, who stammered instead of Aaron his eloquent speaking brother to LEAD His people out of Egypt towards the promised land. Sometimes in human sense, it seems God is just partial and unfair in His dealings with us, but that’s what MAKES Him SOVEREIGN, because what He sees and knows and understands to make Him take on certain decisions are beyond our infinitesimal imagination and thoughts. For His ways are not our ways. Hence, to imagine God saying I chose Jacob instead of Esau, Joseph instead of other eleven children of Jacob and to choose of Joseph his son Manasseh instead of Ephraim and Apostle Paul a Chief Sinner as he called himself to preach the New Creation Gospel, tells a lot of God’s sovereignty in human affairs and all about His creation. And in all, He remains the just, good and faithful, true and sure Father God in His sovereignty.

Have you ever imagine going through life, and people you consider to have no ground of existence are still here and those you considered to have a ground are no more? Think of any scenario in human affairs, sometimes you wonder why certain things happen to certain people and not others in your own perception of things. Does it mean that God hates some and loves some? And that God is an unrighteous judge in His sovereign decision? But that’s not the case at all with God in our human perception and limitations of His SOVEREIGNTY in our earthly affairs and heavenly affairs. There’s the operating default in God’s sovereignty over all, it’s called MERCY – THE MERCY OF GOD. The MERCY OF GOD is that default in Him that enables divine kindness that offsets divine judgment for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes in living on our earthly and heavenly affairs. It is the MERCY of God that enables one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension. Through the cause of time, in the phases of the divine PURPOSE on our life’s, we FRAIL being humans, just as the Psalmist will declare that the Lord knows our FRAIL and FRAMES, and it is our living under the cover of His MERCY that we can keep on keeping on as it’s written:

“Just as a father LOVES his children, So the Lord LOVES those who FEAR and WORSHIP Him [with AWE-FILLED RESPECT and DEEPEST REVERENCE]. 14  For He KNOWS our [MORTAL] FRAME; He remembers that we are [merely] dust” Psalms 103:13-14 AMPLIFIED.

Apostle Paul, considering his havoc to the Church of God and others, knows God’s MERCY so well in his cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. That enables him not to FAINT but to explore God’s MERCY tremendously, in order to live a fulfilled LIFE and GODLINESS, in his ministry as written:

“Therefore SEEING we have this MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT” 2 Corinthians 4:1.

YOU NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYDAY OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO HIDE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE ON THE MERCY OF GOD. For God is sovereign and decides the times and terms of life for all, irrespective of status, religion, gender, color, tongue and such like. Therefore, enough of that pride and arrogance and misplaced priority and stubbornness and such like, because life is as a mist that appears in the new dawn and straight away it’s all gone. Make every opportunity you have to count and account for you in doing life in earthly affairs and living godly in heavenly affairs in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 WHEREAS YE KNOW NOT WHAT SHALL BE ON THE MORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOUR, THAT APPEARETH FOR A LITTLE TIME, AND THEN VANISHETH AWAY. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin” John 4:13-17.

Just know, it’s only the knowing and understanding that you are LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD, that you can keep on keeping on even in the Face of; FAINTING, TRIBULATIONS, TRIALS, OPPOSITION, DISAPPOINTMENT, SICKNESSES AND DISEASES, FAMILY BREAKDOWN, MARITAL STRUGGLE, FRUSTRATIONS IN SINGLENESS, CHILDLESSNESS AND MANY MORE SUCH LIKE MALADIES OF LIFE.

Today, I call on you to let GOD’S MERCY speak for you in that life challenges as the two blind men experienced of God in Matthew 9:27-31. They explore the sovereign default MERCY OF GOD, and that interjection act of PRAYER, speaks into their situation and changes their life storyline forever, on earthly affairs. It could be your time now. Act accordingly for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, HAVE MERCY ON US.  28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.  29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their EYES WERE OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, AS WE HAVE RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT; 2 but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 FOR GOD, WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, HATH SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST. 7 But we have this TREASURE in EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY of the POWER may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 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; 14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, WORKETH for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

HAVING A GOOD NEWS IS GOOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVING A GOOD NEWS IS GOOD – AND WITH WAGONS IS BETTER AND BEST: IT REVIVES THE FAINTING HEARTS – IT ENHANCES THE KINGDOM LIFE AND ITS CAUSES!

It is good to have a job and or business but better if the accompanying wages or returns can keep your spirit being – the temple of the Holy Spirit – alive to meet your day-to-day living matters without further worries. 

Being BLESSED – that is, being empowered to succeed in God’s POWER and GRACE –  is the ability to have beyond enough and to reach to somebody else – For prosperity that withholds is poverty in disguise. Until you can have and give without complaining and murmuring, you are still poverty-stricken in disguise.

There was prosperity in the first civilized world – Egypt – while others were poor and hunger-stricken. Jacob the patriarch was fainting and fading off with time and in dire need, in the poverty and austerity stricken world of his time. And when he was told that Joseph, the Premier of Egypt, his son was alive, he felt good but in doubt, due to the time lapses and evidences given in forensics of his death by his other children years before; but when he SAW the WAGONS – trail of camels with loads of goods accompany with cash (money), I can hear ooh goodness, his DYING and FAINTING spirit was MADE alive, that is, REVIVED instantly. The power of WAGONS is and are indisputable in such a dire need time.

I pray for you today, that every good news that comes to you will be accompanied with LOADS of WAGONS. Wagons, are good, for it thus comes with other goods that meet needs; wagons makes all the difference in one’s life;  you may not appreciate or understand it until it happens to you. To have your debt or dire needs paid and with extra relief to do and live life in such a way to never be in debt again and dire need, is far better than just having your debt only paid and still be in needs. There’s a miracle for you today, receive it and be blessed in Jesus name, Amen.

I pray that the Lord God El-Shaddai – the all sufficient Father, meet you today at the point of your need and to turn you fainting heart into overflowing joy, reviving your dying spirit that you might live again and worry no more in all that pertains to life and living godly.

GOD’S BLESSEDNESS REVIVES FAINTING HEARTS – THE POWER OF WAGONS IS AND ARE INDISPUTABLE – YOU CAN BANK ON GOD’S PROVISIONS AT CHALLENGING TIMES.

Every grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS!

“. . . 25 AND THEY WENT UP OUT OF EGYPT, AND CAME INTO THE LAND OF CANAAN unto Jacob their father, 26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and he is GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt.

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD

LIVING IN A WORLD WITHOUT GOD: GOD’S LOVED WORLD – THE ONLY POSSIBLE ANTIDOTE TO THE HATE AND INJUSTICE WE SEE EVERYDAY!

GOD’S LOVED WORLD IS THE ANTIDOTE TO THE HATE AND INJUSTICE IN THE UNJUST WORLD. AND THE POSSIBLE ANSWER TO ALL THE EVIL AND WICKEDNESS AROUND IS IN GOD’S LOVED WORD . . .IN CHRIST JESUS.

“For God so LOVED the WORLD, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the WORLD to CONDEMN THE WORLD; but that THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is not CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED IN THE NAME of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

In a world full of the UNDOING of others for selfishness, greed, wickedness, evil and such like by some across the board: colleagues, friends, family, community, society and nation in the world, there’s a thirst and hunger for love in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; for an environment where injustice, hatred, evil, selfishness, wickedness and perversions of all sorts exist, what human hearts need is a loving friend and friendship to avert such WICKEDNESS and EVIL as we see daily within our vicinity and abode.

IN GOD’S LOVED WORLD, WE RESPOND BY THE WORD. WE DON’T REACT BY OUR SENSES (FEEL, TASTE, SMELL, FEEL, SEE) TO INJUSTICE, EVIL, WICKEDNESS AND SUCH LIKE, OTHERWISE, WE MAY END UP BEING HURT, HATE, BITTER, UNFORGIVING,  DEPRESSED, FEAR PHOBIA AND SUCH LIKE.

God has promised to see you through in LOVE, in His LOVED WORLD from the present EVIL DARKNESS OF THIS WORLD as in the Holy Writ – ‘HOLY ‘BIBLE’, which I term as the – “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”. And God has ENSURED and COMMENDED us to the Holy Spirit of love, to make it possible in 24/7, to love too in the face of adverse uncertainty as it’s written:

“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.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

Jesus had made the act to love a COMMAND and not an ADVICE. God will only commend what He commands, therefore let God’s love rule your day as you take on with people. It is in this act of living and walking in God’s love shall you be known as a Follower of Christ, not by religious gimmicks and oblations.

“A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE TO YOU, that you LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that you also LOVE one another.  35 By this all will know that you are MY DISCIPLES, if you have LOVE for one another” John 13:34-35.

LET GOD’S LOVE RULE AND REIGN IN AND THROUGH YOU TO – OUR HATE AND EVIL WORLD OF DARKNESS IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESS, GRACEFULNESS, AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

Every grace and blessing in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

GOD’S LOVED WORLD – THE ANTIDOTE – IS POSSIBLE BY THE WORD FOR THE EVIL, HATE, AND WICKED WORLD.

“This is my COMMANDMENT, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another . . .17 RECOMPENSE TO NO MAN EVIL FOR EVIL. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY HUNGER, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 BE NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, BUT OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD” Romans 12:9-21 Emphasis Mine.

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to eat;  and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall REWARD thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE, AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH: 39 but I say unto you, THAT YE RESIST NOT EVIL: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48.

GREATER LOVE IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S MADE AND PERFECTED BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE!

God’s GREATER LOVE is perfected – complete – in you. I pray you know it and stop all the worries of nobody loves you. God’s love is shed strongly in your hearts by the abiding Holy Spirit that dwells within you.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

It’s graciously gracious to kick start each day and the week, knowing that God loves you and wants you to ABIDE the more in His love.

ABIDING makes God’s love and joy PERFECTED in you. It can make your being, to live and walk in this God’s LOVE today – for LOVE is the greatest. For God’s PERFECTED LOVE drives out fear, hatred, mistrust, all forms of complex, evil and wickedness.

I pray you have a graciously gracious week of perfected love. For perfected love produce perfected praise. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also” 1 John 4:17-21.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; ABIDE IN MY LOVE. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will ABIDE IN MY LOVE, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full.  12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  13 GREATER LOVE has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends”  John 15:9-13.

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME: FOR NO WORD – NO FAITH, IF YOU MUST FUNCTION TO BECOME!

It’s time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE – in order to BECOME by God’s WORD and in EVERYWAY in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

Many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD and to His work in His Church; and yet wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and BECOME in every way in LIFE and GODLINESS.

Most reasons are simply for their FEAR PHOBIA that they may lose out if they do make such acts to Be. And unfortunately, their being skeptical has not made them better in spite of their despised to God’s WORD and His Church – (1 John 5:3-5).

I make BOLD to say that God is FAITHFUL to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD – (Romans 10:17). Faith in Christ Jesus, is of the WORD. Faith is not a doctrinal or denominational creed and religious dogmas that is just there to be known. It’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access and essence with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavors to FUNCTION and BECOME in God – (Hebrews 11:6).

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church with a daring spirit and not fear phobia, in LIFE and GODLINESS. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE in your life, you need to know, you are a covenant child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of the world – Satan or cohorts – ways to MAKE it in life. You are in the world, but not of the world’s ways of doing life. You are of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“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.

Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH or CROOKED places of your life by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God on that MATTER concerning you, based on His HOLY WORD by the Blessed Holy Spirit, you will make your way to PROSPERITY and have GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you. Hence I say, be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-14, Egypt stands for one’s state of unbelief, backsliding, famine, hunger, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such likes.

It thus mea that you don’t need to FAKE it to make it. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE and you will Become as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God concerning him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the words of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up, then go and become – Genesis 26:12-14.

May you experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“AND THERE WAS A FAMINE IN THE LAND, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord appeared unto him, and said, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . 12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, and received in the same year an HUNDREDFOLD: and the Lord BLESSED him. 13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he BECAME very great: 14 for he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“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” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

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

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

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

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

“Finally, believers, whatever is TRUE, whatever is 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 AMPLIFIED.

GENUINE LOVE

GENUINE LOVE: KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!

Genuine Love, which is of God – KNOWS NO FEAR – for as God is in love in Christ Jesus – so are we in His world in this world 1 John 4:17-18.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

Love is gracious and nobody ever reject genuine love when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown which is unfortunately not available to his and cohorts reach.

HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE? That shouldn’t be, for GENUINE love which is of God in human HEARTS, and not in the human HEAD, have – no fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness, and evil in it, except there’s PERVERSION. For it is when the PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough to be afraid of living and walking in love.

The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and it’s here: it’s graciously and lavishly shared abroad in our HEARTS (spirit being) by the Holy Spirit is given to us.

“. . . the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Perfect love, meaning, genuine love will cast out the spirit of fear, cowardice, and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He can’t offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is – shows up, there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed, or any form of perversion.

JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE’S IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD.

Checklist yourself today, IF IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s love. And Be FREE and be BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) love drives out FEAR, because Fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is AFRAID [of God’s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“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).

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT MAN) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.
