THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.

“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.

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing –  called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence 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 that being passionate about something such as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry, and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing:

“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 everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experienced the effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written:

“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).

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of passion, knowledge, and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING FRUIT BEARING

By Leave a Comment

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING FRUIT BEARING: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE THROUGH ABIDING IN HIS WORD!

Desiring to be FRUITFUL? Desiring to ensure and be assured in FRUITFULNESS? Desiring to MATURE and be MATURING in FRUIT bearing? Desiring to abound in ABIDING FRUIT Bearing? That’s all possible in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Our Heavenly Father wants you in Christ Jesus’ stead to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in doing life and living godly in His grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. He wants you to be able to live meaningfully fulfilled in all you do, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, there’s the need for PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL living, in order to ensure FRUITFULNESS to THRIVE, toward a FULFILLING life.

PURPOSEFUL LIVING comes by ABIDING In God’s LOVE which is secured in ABIDING in His WORD. It, therefore, means, that as you ABIDE in God’s WORD, you will THRIVE in phases. Doing life is in PHASES just as men are in SIZES. However, SIZE only depends on how more or much one can take on the various PHASES that one encounters in the course and cause of time in doing life. It’s at this LIFE PHASES state, that the definition as to whether one is either going to THRIVE or be a SURVIVAL of the fittest as sometimes acclaimed. The phases in God’s BLESSEDNESS are culled from the Holy Writ of John 15:1-16, and every phase is very vital and important indeed. Herein are these PHASES:

  1. A NO FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  2. A FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  3. A MORE FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  4. A MUCH FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 5, 8
  5. And an ABIDING FRUIT stage – Vs 16                                                               

THRIVING is an essence of God as in the above phases, and it must be noted that God takes one through the PHASES so that one can be able to be FRUITFUL, that’s FRUIT BEARING; more so, that one can eventually earn or attain to such MATURITY in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray you will THRIVE through each PHASE state with ease in grace; and by abiding in God’s LOVE and His WORD, you will in LIFE and GRACE, ABIDE in FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may this SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS of Philippians 1:9-11 and Ephesians 3:14-19, ABOUND with you as written:

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might through His Spirit in the INNER man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV.

“I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may bring FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man ABIDE not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might REMAIN (ABIDE) in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 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. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN (ABIDE, ABOUND): that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may ABOUND to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being ENRICHED in everything to all BOUNTIFULNESS, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the Spirit is IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

“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 12:11.

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: IT DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM ERRORS – AND FROM BEING MISTAKEN!

Erring or being Mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from being MISTAKEN and walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptures which is – The Living WORD of God.

That’s why you sometimes if not most times,  hear people in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken?

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order to be BLESSED INDEED – James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES but not limited to the state of the RATIONALISTS:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3*  THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY.

This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

THIS IS THE WISDOM: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – ENSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED”  James 1:22-25.

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IT’S EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – IN THE GRACE!

The genuine PROFESSING of your FAITH has a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL effect, and the effectual GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL effect is in your POSSESSING of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

It, therefore, means, that you CAN’T just ACCLAIMED to be able to COMMUNICATE, PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS effectually to AFFIRM for the FAITH in Christ Jesus, in order for ALL things to work together for the good, when you have not RESOLVED genuinely to the POSSESSING of the FAITH within you with no reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION (DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING) of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis Mine).

The simple truth is because God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious beliefs and dogmas – hence the need to – THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who He is, to help you indicate your stand and can stand to BECOME in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all about doing life and living godly.

“Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21.

“That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:9-13.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!

The most profound HIGH PRIESTLY PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you ARE and can be a PARTAKERS in the SCRIPTURAL terms, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry for the REDEMPTION of mankind in John chapter seventeen.

In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in the grace of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM of ETERNAL LIFE. A place wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

Christ Jesus praying that – We might KNOW Father God and Himself as the one who was SENT by the Father, indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – John 17:3. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL in Heaven into our Earthly affairs. Amen.

ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualize the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit BEING to that ETERNAL LIFE REALM of God. For indeed, He has planted ETERNITY in us in creation – Ecclesiastes 3:11(1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 18:14; Genesis 2:7). This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.

May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit BEING alive that one can comprehend in essence the WORKS of God in man? And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM – Galatians 5:25. Do you? If not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER. For it’s a REALM beyond the FIVE SENSES or rather a REALM wherein the FIVE Senses has been SENSITIZED by the WORD KNOWING of God – Hebrews 5:14; Hebrews 4:12-13.

I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronize your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE in order to give the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM: and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 9:10.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”

By Leave a Comment

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE” – WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS!

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

GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him, can be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading – Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21). It thus mean if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk  and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME, in God, in Christ Jesus (Proverbs 21:15; Proverbs 13:15). So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the GRACE of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any acts and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.

“And of the CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

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

There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and ignorant. For its UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN: GIVES THE ENABLING TO ENACT THE POWER, LOVE, AND SOUND MIND YOU ARE ENDOWED!

When you stir up the Spirit gift Within you, then elements of FEAR – (and ALL it stands for) – will give way for you to exercise and actualise  Boldness, Power, Sound Mind, Love, and Peace in every way.

In Scriptural terms, to STIR UP means:

* To rekindle (NKJV)

* To fan into flames (NLT)

* To keep ablaze (Message Bible)

* To keep alive (Good News Translation)

* To flame into fire (LB)

*** And More. . .

In ancient times embers were kept slowly burning so that they could be fanned into flames when a fire was needed. And we all need fire in our bones to set us ablaze for the next levels in our lives.

Apostle Paul said to Timothy, if you MUST overcome FEAR of all sorts in life and godliness, he must fan into flame, to rekindle and to keep alive the Holy Spirit gift within in order to ENJOY sound mind, peace, love, self-control and more in his life and ministry.

And you CAN STIR UP the spirit within by praying in the Holy Spirit of grace to guarantee you the daily – VICTORY, TRIUMPHANT, OVERCOMER, DOMINION and A MORE THAN CONQUERORS life.  And I can perceive you OVERCOME the spirit of FEAR of ALL sorts in Jesus’ name, as you stir up the spirit within by the Holy Spirit that is made available for us all to win in life –  Amen.

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN GIVES THE ENABLING TO  ENACT THE POWER, LOVE, AND SOUND MIND YOU ARE ENDOWED

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 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 2:6-7.

“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost”  Jude 20.

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

WELCOME TO MONTH MAY2015: Month of ‘DOMINION BY THE HIGHER LAW’!

WELCOME TO MONTH MAY2015: Month of ‘DOMINION BY THE HIGHER LAW’!

Life is built on principles or rules and decrees. When you break them you pay dearly for it. When you live by the rules, you reign and rule and be the master of your destiny. Living by the higher law enables you to live triumphantly and in dominion.

For example, the force of gravity will tend to bring down objects thrown up, but by an up thrust force which I call a higher force, the aircraft can fly against it to rule the sky. You see it in ships over waters, operating by Archimedes’ principles of upthrust.

“And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully” 2 Timothy 2:5.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death”  Romans 8:1-2.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:26-31.

“Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith” Romans 3:27.

SHALOM & WELCOME TO THE BLESSEDNESS OF MONTH MAY2020

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY: MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY – “Month Of Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION –  Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”.

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of  WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfill PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believers by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness, and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation, and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus’ stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him.

And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I, therefore, pray today for your onward, upward, and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowments and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I, therefore, WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY 2021 – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit . . .” Hebrews 6:1-9.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” PSALMS 68:18.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN grace according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“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. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“. . . 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT . . .  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” Galatians 2:20-21.
