THE BEAUTIFUL YOU: YOU ARE MADE TO THRIVE AND NOT BE A SURVIVAL IN THE GRACE! 

“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. 

It’s time to COLOUR YOUR WORLDS by what God Made You to Be In Christ Jesus stead – otherwise it’s an ADULTERATION and a COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and MAKE -BELIEVE, and that will make you less than God’s definition of you and for you, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: old things are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17/NKJV. 

Beloved Friends, just another gracious opportunity to remind you of the need to raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, knowing that you are – fearfully, wonderfully and colourfully – MADE – to thrive and not survive in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

You need to embrace the New You in Christ, live it and enjoy it. You are made to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE as an OVERCOMER of the world system in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. You ARE defined to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead, in the face of all odds and ends in life and godliness, simply because of what God is DONE in you by Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57]. 

Be Blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: old things are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17. 

“. . . I will praise thee; for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well . . .” (Psalms 139:12-18). 

“. . . that our SONS may be as plants GROWN up in their YOUTH; that our DAUGHTERS may be as corner stones, POLISHED after the SIMILITUDE of a PALACE . . .” Psalms 144:11-15. 

“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 . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:26-31. 

“. . . 4 WHAT IS MAN that You are mindful of him, and THE SON OF MAN that You visit him? 5 For You have MADE him a little lower than the angels, and You have CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 You have MADE him to have DOMINION over the works of Your hands; you have put all things under his feet, 7 All sheep and oxen— even the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas. . . .” Psalms 8:1-9. 

“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” Isaiah 45:11-12.

BE A BEREÄN BELIEVER – EXAMINE BEFORE YOU SAY AMEN: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHO SPEAKS OR WRITE! 

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

It’s a high time not to be MISTAKEN anymore in any matter of DOING LIFE and LIVING IN GODLINESS, in Christ Jesus stead; it’s time to be SCRIPTURALLY certain in CONTEXT, before saying – AMEN! Otherwise, you will walk erroneously and have yourself to blame for such ignorance. 

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be SWIFT to HEAR, SLOW to SPEAK (ACT), SLOW to WRATH: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20 (Emphasis Mine). 

To say ‘AMEN’ is gracious and graceful if you understand the INTENT and CONTEXT. For to ‘AMEN’ is to spiritually agree within you of a CAUSE with your spirit, in affirmation to God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit on a matter, spoken or written by you or someone else. An “AMEN” is more than a mere word, it has spiritual implication and assertion, hence it’s not for a joke or wishy-washy affirmation statements. Hence, saying “AMEN” to everything before you hear and read or while you hear or read the handwriting on the wall, without the knowing and understanding of the SCRIPTURAL context is erroneous. For many have become CAPTIVES of their erroneous making and SUFFERED severely for their ignorance, in taking an instruction that wasn’t EXAMINED SCRIPTURALLY before ACTING upon it. 

“MY PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO priest to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE have gone into CAPTIVITY, Because they have NO KNOWLEDGE; Their HONORABLE men are FAMISHED, And their MULTITUDE dried up with THIRST. 14 Therefore SHEOL has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15/NKJV. 

Sometimes when I read and examine the content and context of what people are saying AMEN and BLESS me toward, I wonder what kind of generation is being raised in the Body of Christ, who ought to make a difference by the WORD with the illumination of the Holy Spirit given to us and not by just affirming in allegiance to a man or creed they ignorantly look up to and or for their own selfishness or self-centred hype and applaud, truly gives and makes me very concerned. 

WHAT GENERATION DO YOU CLASS YOURSELF? IS IT A GENERATION “BLESS ME”, OR GENERATION “AMEN” OR GENERATION “BLESS ME AND AMEN”, OR WHICH? OR THE GENERATION THAT EXAMINES TO ENSURE THAT GOD’S WORD RULES AND REIGN SUPREME NO MATTER WHO SPEAKS OR WRITE OR HAVE WRITTEN? 

I am just pondering how people just say AMEN and BLESS ME to every form of post, which may be written or spoken in various media formats, simply because someone classed important said it. Did people ever READ the CONTENT, LISTEN and UNDERSTOOD the STATEMENT and much more affirm if it is SCRIPTURALLY written or recorded and it’s what it means in grace? There’s the need to be as the BEREAN Christian Believer’s in Christ Jesus stead, who do SEARCH and EXAMINE in order to ENSURE and be assured that their FAITH in a CONTEXT is scripturally believable and affirmatively. 

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily, whether THOSE THINGS were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12. 

When you amen as God’s child It’s simply makes common sense and there’s no INSPIRATION, REVELATION and EMPOWERMENT of the Holy Spirit of grace by the WORD in such CONTEXT, it becomes a joke. And a joke does not bring about God’s grace to any one or enhances you to become what that statement is in grace wherein you can stand to access God’s enabling in all things that pertains to doing life and living godly. 

• For example, someone said God wants to make you a millionaire, come forth and give a millionaire offering. You jump up and say amen. That’s falsehood. God never promised that in the scriptures. Besides, if you become a millionaire overnight by being hastened and your problems become millions, what difference does it make then in you. Will it not to have been better living by God’s gracious act of prosperity as in the Scriptures (3 John 2/Deuteronomy 8:18), than the sudden millionaire spell and syndrome that’s unscriptural? 

The great Apostle and emeritus Paul, who wrote by the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the Holy Spirit of grace more than a third of the epistle of the New Testament Bible which we all do read to do life daily, was EXAMINE daily of the SPOKEN or WRITTEN epistles of his – (Acts 17:10-13; 2 Peter 3:14-18); more else, the need to SEARCH and EXAMINE these last days of accreditation with people accustomed to mere of more titles, adulteration, falsehood, photoshop, self-imaging and mere words coated with philosophy of common sense than the WORD affirmation. There’s the need for more examination to clean the Church and society of such menaces, perverts, wickedness and evils we see today. Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18. 

There’s the NEED to EXAMINE what you read or hear for your own good in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, before you become a joke with the joker. Therefore, THINK and LEARN from the BEREÄN BELIEVER’S’ towards Apostle Paul as it’s written. Don’t be MISTAKEN anymore in any matter of life and godliness – Be SCRIPTURALLY certain in CONTEXT, before saying – “AMEN”. Matthew 22:29. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12. 

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE THYSELF in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:15. 

“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be DILIGENT that ye may be found of him in peace, WITHOUT SPOT, and BLAMELESS. 15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are UNLEARNED AND UNSTABLE WREST, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the ERROR of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 18 But GROW IN GRACE, AND IN THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18. 

“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. 

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 Emphasis Mine. 

“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 (LED) by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Emphasis Mine. 

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who CALLED you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT gospel, 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there are some who TROUBLE you and want to PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone PREACHES any other GOSPEL to you than what you have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/NKJV. 

“Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to CONTEND EARNESTLY FOR THE FAITH which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For CERTAIN MEN have crept in UNNOTICED, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, UNGODLY men, who turn the grace of our God into LEWDNESS and DENY the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4/NKJV. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16 The former PREACH Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter OUT OF LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18/NKJV. 

“Truly, these TIMES OF IGNORANCE God OVERLOOKED, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to repent, 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/NKJV.

POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS: THE “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION! 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULT ORIENTED, EFFECTIVE] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 6/Emphasis mine. 

Beloved in Christ, enough of self-defeated mindset of complain-hallelujah life style in your – day in and day out; and much more, as you’ve proclaimed as a stamp over these years in circle and circus; it’s your time in Christ Jesus to ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE the essence of being born of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

There’s the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus; but it’s your prerogative to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK after it in order to make it a reality for you. You ask, seek and knock to obtain because you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED this good deed of God in Christ Jesus stead concerning you. God knows you have a need, but wants your fellowship participation to make the deal yours and not someone’s, hence the phase to ASK, to SEEK and to KNOCK that you might receive in the grace: 

“ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for everyone that ASKETH receiveth; and he that SEEKETH findeth; and to him that KNOCKETH it shall be opened” Matthew 7:7-8 

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible by these but not limited: 

• FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – His DONE DID DEED – for you and all in Him. 

“. . . the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

•  And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written: 

That the COMMUNICATION OF YOUR FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) . . .” Philemon 1:6. 

And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to God’s gracious WORD in 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many unfortunately ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUIA’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around, despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various set traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. Beloved in Christ Jesus, these OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus, knowing and understanding all that Christ Jesus is BECOME to us in Him by REDEMPTION. 

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly. 

Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE, DID, DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION: 

1.  That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
2. That knowledge will deliver us from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.
3. That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
4. That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6. 
5. That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52. 
6. That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
7. That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33. 
8. That People who hates knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15. 
9. That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
10. That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5. 
11. That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18. 
12. That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6. 
13. That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
14. That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32. 
15. That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18. 
16. That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24. 
17. That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29. 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine). 

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3.

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE: IT Gives MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY [ASSIGNMENT] which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17/Emphasis Mine. 

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19. 

“Jesus said to them, My FOOD [NOURISHMENT] is to DO the WILL [PLEASURE] of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely FINISH His work” John 4:34/Amplified Classic Edition. 

There’s the CHOICE of being – FULFILLED in life and godliness [godly LIVING] – and the CHOICE of being – MERELY A SUCCESS AND SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves as they pursue passionately and driven with such enthusiasm to become it.  

The quest there in the above concept is this – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for you? And especially when you know that the God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, could be your place of meaningful FULFILLMENT in the grace. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life in grace; and possibly in ministry rather than just having a mere glamour of SUCCESS or being SUCCESSFUL for men’s applaud and hype while you are unfulfilled in God’s intent for your life and well-being. Following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life is the only guarantee for God’s APPROVAL and your meaningful FULFILMENT in Him as He did exemplified for us to follow and walk in His steps as Disciples of Him, in the Father God by the Holy Spirit of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8 (John 18:37) 

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22/Emphasis Mine. 

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified [Ephesians 1:11]. 

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified. 

Know for the truth that any person who’s keen for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place and position to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry – especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT [REMOTE] which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees OBEDIENCE to God’s INSTRUCTIONS [PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT] far higher and fulfilling as written in Acts 21:8, 26-29. 

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST UNTO THEM. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT [REMOTE]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40. 

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful and have a global or glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; that’s someone whose goal is to be a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – and who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8. That’s what I call and consider as one who is – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person. 

Hence, I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you? 

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good but relative and it’s of God however; but God’s desires is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve SUCCESS but far beyond just being successful. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively. 

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11. 

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s about doing this God’s given and driven in an unhindered and uncompromised way, with any sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did (1 John 3:8; John 18:37) and Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written: 

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17. 

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION“ Acts 26:19. 

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and which is far beyond – just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit. 

Therefore, I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 8:3. 

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto THE TRUTH. Every one that is of THE TRUTH heareth my voice” John 18:37. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-40 [Kindly read the entire chapter for context].

REDEMPTION REALITIES – YOU BECOME WHAT YOU SPEAK FORTH [SOW IN WORDS]: DO SPEAK FORTH WELLNESS AND WHOLESOME WORDS – FOR YOUR WHOLENESS AND HEALTHY WELL-BEING! 

“The WORDS of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the MOUTH of the upright shall DELIVER them . . . 12 A man shall be SATISFIED with good by the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH . . . 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: BUT THE TONGUE OF THE WISE IS HEALTH” Proverbs 12: 6, 14, 18. 

WORDS ARE SEEDS and SEEDLINGS that are sown now and always – knowingly and unknowingly; and these seeds respond to the kinds of atmosphere you allowed [cultivate, till] for it to grow and blossom. The trajectory could be healthy or unhealthy to one’s total well-being. When the healthy atmosphere to SOW the seed are created, they give LIFE and GRACE to one’s total well-being. When unhealthy atmosphere is created to the sowing, they give back to defeat, failures, regrets and such like deadly environment, and can even result to death, or near-miss sometimes. 

“You are SNARED with THE WORDS of your LIPS, you are CAUGHT by the SPEECH of your MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2/Amplified Classic Edition. 

YOU ARE YOUR WORDS AND THE PRODUCTS DEFINES YOU – AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE RESPONSIBILITY  

WORDS are not just POWERFUL but are CREATIVE – MEDICINE OR POISON – that defines not just to our bodily well-being, but our spiritual and soulish [emotional, psychological and social] well-being. You are the product of the words you speak to your being. Your words define you and create the atmosphere that condition your state of mind to either RESPOND or REACT to matters of LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead – [Proverbs 6:2; Proverbs 18:20-21]. 

“A man’s [moral] self shall be FILLED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the CONSEQUENCE OF HIS WORDS he must be SATISFIED [whether good or evil]. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE, and they who indulge in it shall eat the FRUIT of it [for death or life]” Proverbs 18:20-21/Amplified Classic Edition. 

Let us look to Jesus Christ and learn from Him. The scripture enjoined us to look up to Him as He’s the author and definition of our faith toward God and toward Him [Hebrews 12:2]. For He ruled and reigned while in humanity, by speaking forth GRACIOUS WORDS as it’s written: 

“And ALL BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

“Looking unto Jesus the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:2. 

It’s time to speak Words Of LIFE in hope, love and faith with GRACIOUSNESS to all sphere of life that concerns you – instead of WORDS of JUDGEMENT, FEAR, DEFEAT, FAILURE, INSECURITY, FRUSTRATION, INABILITY, INFERIORITY and such like complex. For a good hearted person speaks goodness, graciousness and gracefulness out of the abundance within even in midst of absolute hopeless and impossibility; while an evil, defeated and disdained hearted person will speak same-like abundance from the within of sentiments, prejudice, setbacks, crafty, defeat, blames, failure, depression and such like into their being. YOU NEED TO SPEAK FORTH WELL TO LIVE WELL. Your WORDS will create and define the atmosphere and direction of travel that you want to enjoy in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead – [Luke 6:45]. 

SPEAKING FORTH WORDS OF LIFE AND GRACE IS NOT ABOUT SPEAKING A MERE POSITIVE WORDS, BUT ABOUT SPEAKING FORTH THE ACKNOWLEDGED SCRIPTURAL GOOD, GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL WORDS IN THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD – [Philemon 1:6; Acts 20:32; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 19:8-10]. 

Our Father God is held bound by His WORD, much more His PROMISES on the count and account of all that Christ Jesus has become to us, in us, through us, with us, for us, in REDEMPTION – [Hebrews 6:16-18]. And this affects every bound of doing LIFE and GODLINESS in God by Christ Jesus stead – [2 Peter 1:3-4; Ephesians 1:1-12; Colossians 1:1-14; Galatians 3:13-26]. 

Therefore, store up, fill up layers of gracious and graceful words of LIFE and GRACE into you being – [Job 22:21-23]. And you need to regurgitate these words over and over in your spirit being to keep you readily healthy within, such that at point of utilising through SPEAKING FORTH, you have an enriched WORDS of LIFE and GRACE, to deal with any and every level of matters and circumstances about you. Don’t wait until the battle day to get your words into your spirit Well-being. BE AS THE HORSE, MADE READY BEFORE THE DAY OF BATTLE – [Proverbs 21:31]. It saves you from the bondage of regret and pain for your unpreparedness in your spoken and irretrievable said words. 

I pray you give attention to the words you SPEAK FORTH this time of immense and enormous challenges to MATTERS of LIFE and GRACE. FOR YOUR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR SPOKEN WORD! Your WORLDS are FRAMED by your WORDS as God did and in Christ Jesus – [Proverbs 6:2; Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:1-31; Luke 4:22].

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS shall he be Filled. 21 Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that love it shall EAT THE FRUIT THEREOF” Proverbs 18:20-21.

And Jesus ENTERED into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. AND HIS DISCIPLES HEARD IT . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

OUR FATHER GOD – DAILY LOADS US WITH HIS BENEFITS: THE FATHER GOD PROMISED BLESSEDNESS IS SURE AND ASSURING! 

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not Yes and No, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who ESTABLISHES us with you in Christ and has ANOINTED us is God, 22 who also has SEALED us and GIVEN us the Spirit in our HEARTS as a GUARANTEE” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV. 

Our Father God is FAITHFUL to His Promises [1 Corinthians 1:9]. And His promises are always a YES and an AMEN to all who believes by Faith on His enabling to make it a reality without a shadow of doubt [Hebrews 10:23; 2 Corinthians 1:18-22]. For in Him there’s nothing as NO in His promised context, for He’s determined to DO His promises to uphold His faithfulness in the grace [1 Thessalonians 5:24]. For He’s in bond with His WORD and His NAME to authenticate His promises [Psalms 138:2; Hebrews 6:18 (13-20)]. For our Father God had PROMISED in His BLESSEDNESS to DAILY LOAD US WITH HIS BENEFITS – and the Father God PROMISED BLESSEDNESS is sure and assuring, and it’s to enhance and authenticate our REDEMPTION RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION (REDEMPTION). Selah” Psalms 68:19 (Emphasis Mine). 

May I say it again, that our Father God does not only want to meet up for us with our DAILY BREAD needs, He wants also to shower us with His ADD-ON BONUS, that is, to “DAILY LOAD US WITH HIS BENEFITS” – and it’s embedded in our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Imagine having BONUS, an ADD-ON to your basic and normal daily earnings; that’s what it means to have BENEFITS as an addition or top ups to the daily NORMAL BREAD that is given generally to ALL when you pray to Father God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Our God will daily LOAD US WITH HIS BENEFITS in REDEMPTION in order to enact and authenticate our SALVATION in Him. That’s why you must not give up or give in to any limiting circumstances until you begin to authenticate, enact and actualise God’s benefiting WILL, in your DAILY life. For He’s able to make all grace abound unto your enrichment in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“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” 2 Corinthians 9:8. 

Herein are simple and few major reasons though not limited, why Father God in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, in His WORD, will authenticate and enact His Daily Benefits toward us in life and grace: 

•  That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving Him thanks. Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2. 

•  That the Gospel might advance and the enemy and cohorts are kept at bay without limitations. Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9. 

•  That you have plenty leftovers to enable you to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding, and complaining. Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12; Luke 6:38. 

• To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to ABIDE in the FAITH – for POVERTY takes people away from the FAITH; and many, in seeking answers may fall prey of the ungodly, evil and dubious ways in order to prosper and to achieve the desired greatness. Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3. 

• * To cleanse the Church of EVIL. POVERTY itself and POVERTY MENTALITY leads to stealing, greed, covetousness, robbery, bribery and such like. Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34. 

* To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in Christ Jesus in DOMINION. Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12; Romans 5:1-2. 

•  To establish and authenticate His COVENANT in Christ Jesus for us. Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17. 

The ADD-ON BONUS of God in essence, is more of graciousness and gracefulness; and to give the enabling we needed, in order to live our life not just from the DAILY BREAD but from the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS; that’s the essence of KNOWING and ENACTING our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION! 

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through HIM that LOVED us” Romans 8:37 

IT’S TIME TO APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE THE NEEDED ENABLING OF WHO YOU ARE AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS. 

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was and is, to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVE and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM. 

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why? 

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY. 

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive and accept it with thanks. You don’t go about ASKING repeatedly for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, continuous attitude of ASKING for the same, is what most Believers have made their acts in Prayers, even in their Fasting galore to measure spirituality; and instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS they are ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a heart of GRATUTUDE as the ATTITUDE in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.  

Most times Believers are occupied with programs that’s more or else attached with religious obligations, traditions/customs of men, oblations and bye-laws dogmas, and such like; and these in most cases has kept us in a particular routine and settings with no substance that can do us any good in Christ Jesus stead. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS and UNSCRIPTURAL. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY, COMPLETELY and live same time in MORE THAN CONQUERORS in our REDEMPTION. 

Therefore, it’s your time to express, to enact and authenticate your FAITH with the heartfelt attitude of RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING, which is the principal core to your rights and privileges in these seven (7) keys REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ as stated: 

•  POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc). 

•  RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3). 

•  WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc). 

• STRENGHT (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all infirmity etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc). 

•  HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21). 

•  GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc). 

•  BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc). 

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly.

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S NOT MATERIAL STUFF AS – CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY AND MORE! 

“The BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” Proverbs 10:22. 

Having material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE may be results of God’s BLESSINGS but not THE BLESSING of God. The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect because of its operations and manifestations. For there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff above through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways. Could that be God – NO. Hence, they are not the BLESSING of God. 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER [ENABLING, ENDOWMENT, ENDUEMENT] to GET [CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18. 

Also, to ‘Being Blessed of God’ simply Means – to being Empowered To: Succeed, Achieve, Become, Innovate, Create, Get and such likes. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus sustains one enrichment; it’s not just about having material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich. For money and other material gains has wings, it comes and goes but THE BLESSING OF GOD that enriches us, ABIDES forever. Meaning, you can go being empowered to succeed repeatedly no matter what challenges come my way. [Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25]. 

So, if you must crave and pursue, crave and pursue for God’s blessing and build your life on God’s blessing which will eventually enrich you and not just a pursuit on wealth or material acquisitions. 

• God’s blessings are wholesome, total, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13; Luke 2:52]. 

•  God’s blessings empowers and creates enrichment and fulfilment in the grace. And the New Creation Testament BLESSEDNESS is UNCONDITIONAL, meaning it’s not based on an “IF” CONDITIONS as it was based upon in the Old Testament creation due to human frailty and depravity to meet the heavenly requirements and demands as FULFILLED in very Jesus. [Ephesians 1:3; Galatians 3:13-14; Deuteronomy 8:18; Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 5, 9, 11, (1-15)]. 

•  Know also that you are positionally BLESSED of God already and it’s through knowledge that you can enact and authentic it into reality [Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4]; and your blessedness it’s heavenly secured, protected in the grace [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Matthew 6:19-20]; and the blessedness can be made tangible by faith – by acting on the Word in context accordingly. 

Therefore, I say to you, live on God’s Blessedness and all other things will come together timely. I pray that the blessings of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Jesus’ precious name, Amen. 

Blessed regards.
