SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

“And He BROUGHT his people SAFELY out from Egypt, LOADED with silver and gold; there were NO sick and FEEBLE folk among them then. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they were gone, for the DREAD of them was GREAT” Psalms 105:37-38 (LB).

“As an eagle STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH ABROAD her wings, taketh them, BEARETH them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no STRANGE god with him. 13 He MADE him RIDE on the HIGH PLACES of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32: 11-14.

Eagles’ Flight – The Choice To August Your Life

Eagles’ Flight – The Choice To August Your Life: As A Thermometer or Thermostat!

To August your Worlds by the Word of Faith is about determining the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy in life day to day in Christ. It’s in you to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself or be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow.

You can either govern your Worlds by the Word of Faith or be governed by the circumstances and philosophies that are in the world around you.

The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme, dignity, grandeur, majestic, venerable, eminent, grand and lordly. Meaning to AUGUST is – to be dignified, to be reverend, to be admired, to be majestic, eminent, venerable, grand and more.

Jesus has lifted you from the bottom to the top. It’s not enough to know it, you need to actualised it into reality. That’s where the Word of Faith comes into play. You can either live by assumptions and presumptions or by the Word of Faith.

I beg you to august your path as a THERMOSTAT , so that you can have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness. Give thoughts and be blessed.

Be a thermostat and not a thermometer, to august your worlds by the Word of Faith. It’s in your hand to colour your worlds life colourfully, for the just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4).

It’s in this regards that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born (Romans 4:17-22). By the word of faith, as a thermostat, he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will say:
‘We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak’. (2 Corinthians 4:13).

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped) by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” (Hebrews 11:3).

THE PROPHET – The PROPHECY MUST CONNOTES

By Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET – The PROPHECY MUST CONNOTES: The TESTIMONY Of Jesus In Your Life – And It’s To EDIFY, EXHORT And COMFORT!

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit within you by THE WORD.

It’s about Testifying, affirming, declaring and proclaiming the Testimony of what Jesus is done, doing and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

It thus means that a GENUINE PROPHET and PROPHECY is the one who prophesies speaks to people unto EDIFICATION in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and joy of the Lord; it thus speaks also WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning the matters of God; and it speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living).

And in all these, it MUST be without an acts of FEAR and THREAT. For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR and intimidation – 2 Timothy 1:7. And God’s perfect love of Christ in PROPHECY cast out fear and torment – 1 John 4:17-18. This is the most profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy that any can and must ever acclaimed to possess, give, deliver and receive.

And this is the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY, the false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECY out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that a genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECY’S should give others the opportunity to be EXAMINE, that’s to be JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed is of God and Scriptural as expected in the light of the scriptures: 1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME and CONQUERED him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death” Revelation 12:11 (Amplified).

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

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

Jesus Christ – The Ultimate And Hallmark Of FREEDOM: Freedom Without HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT And Such Likes – GET CONNECTED TO HIM!

You don’t have to go or look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world are built up and on, of many communities of like minds – and each are of various unions, associations and the coming together for the purpose and course to create, promote and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, work place, streets and family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine FREEDOM as so much desired. Instead, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified bondage that the entanglement is enormous in various ways. Hence the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another. And the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATURE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE has resulted in some places as such, serving the symbol of landmarks which in Scriptural terms is an IDOL. Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATURE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres.

That was what Apostle Paul finds out in Acts 17:15-34 of the ATHENIAN’S which was ascribed to the UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATURE – Modernised IDOLS.

Apostle Paul eventually brought the Athenian’s to see the essence knowing the true God. And that it’s in God that they LIVE, MOVE and HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING to the FREEDOM they EARNESTLY desired and not to the STATURE DEPICTED on their City Centre as Landmark.

And Christ Jesus has made possible this FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such likes.

I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today and enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATURE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless causes other than to offend another.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

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

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

GREAT – If You Don’t Do IDOLS

GREAT – If You Don’t Do IDOLS: How About SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS!

It’s very easy for any to credit themselves and say – I DON’T DO IDOLS. Meaning I have no image, picture and object and even shrine that I go, consult and or make sacrifices towards. More so I don’t REVERED and BELIEVED in any man made gods. However, I hope you do not practice SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

What is SACRILEGE? It’s the sharing in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, pleasures and such likes as a results of IDOLS or and IDOLATOR’S in ones life.

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into it before knowing Christ Jesus and turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to FAITH in God through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such likes acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse – (Acts 17:30-32).

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest – that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such likes are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such likes will do any DEMAND placed before them so long objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and abate people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicates you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.
