The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which is REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ – and that gives us the enabling rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. For its not only that we ARE REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are USHERED and given access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead the followings in our REDEMPTION – POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8).

The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead has TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED, TRANSFERRED, CONVEYED) us and POSITIONED us into His enabling grace, from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein, we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP that’s WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH to enhance and ensure our RELATIONSHIP of being born of Him in Christ Jesus stead. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us QUALIFIED firstly as His in these SCRIPTURAL wise: 

“Ye also, as LIVELY STONES, ARE BUILT UP a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an Holy nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10. 

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV.

God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15). 

Why should you LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ Jesus – wherein you’ve been MADE, God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21). 

With our REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good and goodness, BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in God (Acts 20:20-21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22). 

God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH, THE MEASURE of GRACE and not A MEASURE of GRACE, to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).

OCTOBER – BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE WHAT AND HOW AND WHEN AND WHERE TO BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING UP yourselves on your MOST HOLY FAITH, PRAYING in the Holy Ghost” Jude 1:20. 

In the course of the Month October, I will be laying out by God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed, some ground PRINCIPLES to know and understand, on – the WHAT, the HOW, the WHEN and the WHERE and more – to “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 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 1:1-4. 

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH is very eminent and essential now than ever before. Simply because – You can’t afford to fail and be a failure when you ought to be carrying the DNA of redemption to succeed and be fulfilled; you can’t afford to survive or be a survival instead of thriving or thrive meaningfully and purposefully in the enabling grace and power to make real and tangible; you can’t afford to live in defeat, fear and sentiments instead living in the phase of dominion, victory, triumph, overcomer and more than conquerors; you can’t afford to expose yourself to falsehood, adulteration, tradition of men make-believe, dogmas, religious creeds and sorceries instead of knowledge and understanding to live in truth that sets one free and in freedom; and many other such like that “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead gives you leverage for an onward and upward trajectory. 

Now you know full well that you can’t afford to be a “BLESS ME” “BLESS ME” Believer in Christ Jesus stead, and there’s the need to be built up in the grace to ensure the assured BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus.

  •  The principle of – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead – Through READING & LISTENING to sanctified SCRIPTURAL-based FAITH synergy WRITTEN BOOKS and PREACHED/TAUGHT MESSAGES in Christ Jesus stead, beside the Holy Writ for authentication. Be warn that not all BOOKS AND PREACHED/TAUGHT MESSAGES are there to BUILD UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, hence there is the need for you to READ and LISTEN to them side by side with the Holy Bible, to ensure that there’s no embedded falsehood and adulteration of any sorts within the CONTEXT as the Berean Believer’s. [Acts 17:10-13. 1 Timothy 4:12-14; 2 Timothy 4:13; Acts 19:18-20; John 21:25; Philippians 1:15-18; Job 19:23-24, Proverbs 4:20-23; Joshua 1:8; Hebrews 4:12-13].

I hope the above and not limited principles of – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” in Christ Jesus stead – will help you to advance in the grace in order to ensure the assured redemption rights and privileges.

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER: THE MONTH OF ENACTING THE COMMISSION

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER: THE MONTH OF ENACTING THE COMMISSION – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”! 

“And he called his TEN servants, and DELIVERED them TEN pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13. 

“So, he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘DO BUSINESS TILL I COME” Luke 19:13/NKJV. 

Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS. And by the knowledge and understanding of the context, it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you resolve to take a step of faith in grace to ENACT the Month October theme – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in order to fulfil the commission mandate to us all – thereby, being Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of new beginning signifying WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops.  

In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of AUTUMN and is commonly associated with the season of SPRING in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and AUTUMN in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. 

In line with the context of the Month October theme, you can recall that in creation God gave man a commission mandate to take charge, subdue, have dominion, replenish the earth by His enabling grace as written in the Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 and in same scenario, our God by Christ Jesus, have recalled the essence of the great commission mandate to also “OCCUPY TILL HE COME” as written in Luke 19:13. We’ve become inexcusable if we undermine this great opportunity to SERVE God acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily in the fellowship and partnership in the terms and context of His commission mandate. 

Therefore, to enact the New Creation theme mandate – “OCCUPY TILL I COME!”, thereby ensuring being Earthly Useful and Heavenly Minded” we must be driven to note it’s about the context also, to advance the Kingdom of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence, I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin. 

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32. 

May you find fulfilment and purpose as you take on Month October and enact the theme to the fulness of the capacity that our God has endowed you with graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, we will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, that unto everyone which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” Luke 19:11-27. 

“THE EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” Psalms 24:1. 

“What is man, that thou art MINDFUL of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8. 

“Thus, saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE THE EARTH, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the Lord of hosts” Isaiah 45:11-13. 

“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but THE EARTH hath he GIVEN to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord” Psalms 115:16-18. 

“Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

“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” Genesis 1:26-28.

MONTH OCTOBER – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS” 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH OCTOBER – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”: FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL IN HIS FAITHFULNESS – IT’S HIS BEING AND HIS NATURE! 

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52. 

One thing is certain in life and grace, that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree doesn’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard or Tiger, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep or Ram, even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics. And if anyone wants to be god like God as the Scriptures enjoins, one needs to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”, for as He is, so are we in this world as written: 

“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” 1 John 4:17-18. 

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Holy Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS” for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“O Lord, thou art my God; I will EXALT thee, I will PRAISE thy name; for thou hast done WONDERFUL things; thy COUNSELS of old are FAITHFULNESS and TRUTH” Isaiah 25:1. 

The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ and therein prospered when he dared. The same enabling grace as to being FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ is available to us today when we dare, and it’s irrespective of any of our challenges toward being FAITHFUL and to then PROSPER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]. 

Our God is the FAITHFUL God, that is, His NATURE and His BEING. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – it’s His NATURE and His BEING, and as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to have FAITH in the nature of God, regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ: 

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself in FAITHFULNESS. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises in His FAITHFULNESS. Hebrews 10:23. 
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement in His FAITHFULNESS. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3. 
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Thessalonians 5:24. 
  8. God is the, and a FAITHFUL creator in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more. 

Considering the above mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS to all about life and godliness; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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. 

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine. 

“Know ye that the Lord He is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the SHEEP of his pasture“ Psalms 100:3.

“Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he CALLED them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN” John 10:34-35. 

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6.

REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS 

By Leave a Comment

REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS: BE A VESSEL OF USE [PREACH AND PRAY] FOR THE NATION GOOD! 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are His. And, let everyone that NAMETH the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

It’s time to be a VESSEL of USE and of CHANGE, and of CREATION and of INNOVATION in the KINGDOM – for the good and goodness of humanity – and it’s also time to stop being an ORNAMENT or an IDOL for whatever reasons if you must be relevant in the Kingdom cause of our God in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know of this truth, that it’s when we ARE doing life and living godly as a VESSEL in USE, that’s when we can keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of humanity – and in turn, we can then ADVANCE the good and goodness of others through the Kingdom cause of our God, and we can equally partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

We live in a timeless timeline, that tells why we must be engaged relentlessly in the preaching of the Gospel to the known and the unknown, unto the ends of the earth. The preaching of the Gospel is God’s set opportunity to show forth His power for the good and goodness of Humans salvation. And it’s as we are faithfully preaching the Gospel that we put in motion the God default de facto for the end of the age and to bring back our King, our saviour and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

“I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God for SALVATION [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. [17] For in the GOSPEL the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is REVEALED, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17/Amplified [Habakkuk 2:4] 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the WORLD for a witness unto all NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

Therefore, be as vessel of God in use, let’s PRAY together after this PSALMIST in this act of PRAYER for the cause of the kingdom, thereby enhancing the good and goodness of humanity [mankind] in the world. So, while we preach let’s pray as the psalmist: 

“O God, in mercy bless us; let your face beam with joy as you look down at us. 2 Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind. 3 How everyone throughout the earth will praise the Lord! 4 How glad the nations will be, singing for joy because you are their King and will give true justice to their people! 5 Praise God, O world! May all the peoples of the earth give thanks to you. 6-7 For the earth has yielded abundant harvests. God, even our own God, will bless us. And peoples from remotest lands will worship him” Psalms 67/LB. 

There’s the God’s LOVE that should persuade us and constrain us to ensure that we are relentless to PREACH the Gospel and to PRAY for the good of the nation, for mankind’s sake, on this side of the heavenly. This relentless Gospel preaching and praying is important and an essence as in the commission – GO YE! – until our risen Lord and Saviour will come. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] GO YE therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

There’s this God’s LOVE for the world of John 3:16 derivatives concept that I have come to know while in an expository opportunity that’s worth knowing as it’s written: 

“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” John 3:16. 

Herein is the derivates concept on John 3:16 in the following orders: 

  1.  For God: 

It must ALWAYS be for God all matters of the Gospel. The Gospel is for the advancement of the kingdom of God to our self-gratification. It should always be FOR GOD– which means to PLEASE God. Any Ministry that prospers, are consequences of having for God purpose in mind. 

  1. 2. God so LOVE: 

This indicates that the Gospel being PREACHED is of the Holy Ghost driven affectionate love. It must always be LOVE driven ministries. It’s only on the basis of LOVE that a ministry prospers and succeeds. Compassion must be at the centre piece; it was a major factor in Christ Jesus ministry. Apostle Paul was constrained by love – [2 Corinthians 5:14; 1 Corinthians 13; Romans 5:5]. 

The spirit of LOVE makes the Gospel ministry work productively. And love must ALWAYS be within the Gospel as in this love driven concept but not limited: 

  1. a. Love His commandments. 
  2. b. Love His Work.
  3. c. Love the work of God.
  4. d.Love His people,
  5. e.Give your all in love to the work.
  6. f.Youcan’t forgive without love 
  7. g.Youcan’t reconcile without love  
  8. h. Nothingsucceedwithout love 

 

  1. 3. The World: 

Ministry must be Globalised. A global mindset. Not family level, not village, not by limited numbers in community. God loves the world – globally. This must be the Gospel driven purpose and concept in context. 

  1. 4. God GAVE – LawofAvailability: 

God gave His Son, His skills, His talent and His all. Giving is the proof of our sincerity. Law of giving makes you to give attention to diligent work. [Proverbs 22:29], and nothing works until you work. Meaning, you give attention to give whatever is within your endowments to the work. 

  1. 5. God gave His “Only Son”:

That’s sacrifice, He gave His best in Life and Ministry. He gave His only without minding the consequences. The Gospel is on being able to make sacrifices – good time and challenging time.  

  1. 6. Whosoever BELIEVES:

The Gospel requires Believing by Faith. One must ensure and be assured to Believe in God and believing in oneself and the work of the Gospel for it to have a productive result. 

  1. 7. Everlasting life:

This speaks of the Higher life – The Law of impart and impact. The Gospel must have to be impactful because of the impart of the grace of God. And this the consequences of the Holy Spirit of impart and impact that’s at work in the Gospel. [Acts 10:38, John 4:19-30].  

For you ARE God’s ambassador in Christ Jesus stead, representing the heavenly in earthly affairs. Ensure it from where you are today onto the ends of the earth.  

“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 15:21. 

LET’S GO REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS – BE A VESSEL OF USE – TO PREACH AND PRAY- FOR THE NATION GOOD AND GOODNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

Thanks for taking time to personalised the prayer for the good and goodness of the nation [with your nation in mind], and for being as a vessel of God in use and of change, for your nation to innovate, explore and create and such like atmosphere to solve the human needs. 

Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you go preaching and praying to advance the cause of the kingdom of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Therefore, IF ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW THEN WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 that CONFIRMETH the WORD of his SERVANT, and PERFORMETH the COUNSEL of his MESSENGERS . . .” Isaiah 44:24-28. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] GO YE therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK 

By Leave a Comment

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS! 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine). 

FOR A NO RAIN, MEANS A NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweigh the PANDEMIC of any sorts, and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within. 

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace. And knowingly and unknowingly we are to by PRAYERS, effect the changes we earnestly desire to take place, for PRAYERS is the antidote to personal, family, local, national and international ills! For our God will do exceedingly abundantly as we pray in the grace as He’s no respecter of person’s and He’s doing are free of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.  

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: [35] but in EVERY NATION He that FEARETH [REVERENCE] him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35. 

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are humans who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes. 

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference. It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“. . . [18] And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. [19] I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:18-19 [13-20]/Amplified. [Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18] [Isaiah 22:22; Matthew 18:18] 

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly pray to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – the people are called by God’s precious name. Amen. 

  •  WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.  
  • WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy). 
  •  WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science. 

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead. 

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweigh the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally. 

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT –  

PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine). 

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that PEACE which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified. 

“CAST thy bread UPON the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that OBSERVETH the wind shall not sow; and he that REGARDETH the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou KNOWEST not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do GROW in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou KNOWEST not the WORKS of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou KNOWEST not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” Ecclesiastes 11:1-6.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS! 

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine). 

FOR A NO RAIN, MEANS A NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweigh the PANDEMIC of any sorts, and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within. 

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace. And knowingly and unknowingly we are to by PRAYERS, effect the changes we earnestly desire to take place, for PRAYERS is the antidote to personal, family, local, national and international ills! For our God will do exceedingly abundantly as we pray in the grace as He’s no respecter of person’s and He’s doing are free of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.  

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4. 

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons: [35] but in EVERY NATION He that FEARETH [REVERENCE] him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35. 

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY, LOCAL and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are humans who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes. 

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference. It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE; 14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15. 

“. . . [18] And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock, I will build My church; and the gates of Hades (death) will not overpower it [by preventing the resurrection of the Christ]. [19] I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:18-19 [13-20]/Amplified. [Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Colossians 1:18] [Isaiah 22:22; Matthew 18:18] 

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly pray to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – the people are called by God’s precious name.

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD! 

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

In life you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE that’s built upon RELIGION [DENOMINATION, TRADITION, SECTARIANISM] that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and such like. 

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus, is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world. 

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32. 

“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 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 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine. 

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION of the WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and challenges that oppose the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are: 

  •  The WORLD – the enemy we SEE 
  •  The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL 
  •  The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW 
  •  The RELIGION – the enemy we DO 

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do. 

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousness of God in these spheres: 

  •  YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies. 
  • BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith. 
  • SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us. 
  •  EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us an effective witness bearer for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure. 
  •  UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.  
  •  UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. 
  •  For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal. 

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3. 

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17. 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27. 

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5. 

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have STRETCHED out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Psalms 45:11-12. 

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3. 

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV. 

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV. 

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.
