ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION: THE FATHER GOD’S REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS! 

“And they sung a NEW song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

The Father God’s REDEMPTION deed in Christ Jesus, amounts to our access to “ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION”; for our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, received the inheritance of God’s BLESSEDNESS for us to do life and live godly in humanity in Him. And our place is to ensure our inheritance into reality and tangibility, as Father God in Christ Jesus has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, PREDESTINATED us and ACCEPTED us, according to the good pleasure of His will. 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . .” Ephesians 1:3 -10. 

The New Creation, the born of God Believer in Christ Jesus, is REDEEMED with a DNA default of blessedness. It’s an inheritance in the grace to be ensured in order to assure our justification of God in the grace. It’s upon which the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus can take a stand by faith. And can also lift up therein, their holy hands without shame, fear, guilty, wrath and doubting and more; and the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus is able to take a stand against any intimidation by the enemy and cohorts of our faith – and as we stand under God’s grace enabling covering, we ensure our blessedness.. [Romans 5:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Timothy 2:8]. 

“The Lord is the portion of my INHERITANCE, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot. 6 The [boundary] LINES [of the land] have FALLEN for me in PLEASANT PLACES; Indeed, my HERITAGE is beautiful to me” Psalms 16:5-6/Amplified. 

The REDEMPTION rights and privileges in respect to our inheritance in Christ Jesus, is a gracious done deed of our Father God for our life in the grace in Him. However, I do repeat that the reality and tangibility of the inheritance can only become meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling, when we do know and understand the whole ESSENCE of our inheritance in the REDEMPTION DEED; and when we intentionally and consciously live to ENSURE it as we do life and godliness in the grace we can actualise the reality and tangibility to our good and goodness. 

The knowing and understanding of the essence of our inheritance in REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus, will save one from running TO and FRO in looking for one so-called PROPHET or PROPHETESS to help us to access God and receive what He promised also by their fortune telling and divining spiritism in the name of giving PROPHECY to you of what’s already yours in the DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus. So ignorance must never be given any room to breathe as Eve foolishly did by responding to the serpent suggestions that she will be god knowing good and evil if she eats the apple while she was already a god of the earth but sold her birth-right inheritance through ignorance and negligence of the principles governing her in Eden [Genesis 3:5; Psalms 82:6; John 10:34-35; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:16-18].  

Therefore, don’t let anyone deceive you for a special prayer prophesy and offering in order for you to access your inheritance in redemption. Such acts of suggestion or seeking after is act of fraudulence and extortionist. I say this with great heartfelt pain knowing what I have seen happening among many vulnerable Believer’s that have been bold enough to come forth and share the deception they have experienced through ignorance, negligence and intimidation and such like.  

I want you to know dear reader for certainty, that there’s an INHERITANCE for you by Father God in Christ Jesus as a result of the REDEMPTION that had been accomplished for us. We need to know and understand full well that when Jesus LED captivity captive, He RECEIVED [INHERITANCE] GIFTS for all in Him. And your name is named in it amongst all, and it’s for you to partake in this gracious act of REDEMPTION and its DEED, for your meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

It’s imperative that you stand up in the grace and stir up your faith to ensure the inheritance promise in our redemption in Christ Jesus, is actualised meaningfully and purposefully as you do life and live godly in the grace. 

You need to know that our Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, has by God, on our behalf RECEIVED GIFTS – INHERITANCE for all who accepts him as Saviour and Lord. The received inheritance of God on our behalf is part of ensuring our spiritual covenant that Christ Jesus entered with the Father God on our behalf. And these inheritance gifts for all mankind can be actualised in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. He didn’t RECEIVE it for Himself because He never needs it, but received it, simply for His REDEEMED FAMILY, which you are in Him. And are kept in the heavenly places of grace, wherein we are seated with Him at the right hand of the Father God, where no thief or robbers or wicked people can be able to invade and to dispossess it from us – [Ephesians 2:6-8; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 6:19-21]. 

Herein is the RECEIVED COVENANT INHERITANCE DEED of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for your perusal. The knowing and understanding to actualise them will enhance on how you can then PRAY knowledgeably and understandably in matters of life and godly living in Christ Jesus. And in this context, we will be looking at the SEVEN UNCONDITIONAL redemptive inheritance that’s covenanted and RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ. They are summed up in the following: 

  1. Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. [Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7; John 1:12; Deuteronomy 8:18; etc].
  2. Riches [Prosperity] – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. [2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; 3 John 2. etc].
  3. Wisdom [Mental] – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc. [James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc].
  4. Strength [Physique] – In place of weakness, sickness and all infirmities etc. [Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc].
  5. Honour [Dignity] – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. [Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Timothy. 1:7. etc].
  6. Glory [Splendor) – In place of shame, reproach, etc. [Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9. etc].
  7. Blessings [Grace] – The enabling and empowering virtue to thrive, succeed, achieve and become in life and godly living, in the places of curses, setbacks, stagnation, survival and more of such likes etc. [Ephesians. 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:3-4; John 10:10. etc]. 

And when you take a stand by FAITH in Christ Jesus to ensure these inheritances in our redemption, one could have become our reality and tangibility into real life as the Holy Scriptures do indicate. So therefore, ENACT and APPROPRIATE your inheritance graciously and gracefully in the grace.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

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

“These words spake Jesus, and LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO HEAVEN, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast given Him power over ALL FLESH, that He should give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as thou hast given Him. 3 And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have FINISHED THE WORK which thou gavest Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou Me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was . . . 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath NOT KNOWN thee: but I have KNOWN thee, and these have KNOWN that thou hast sent Me . . .” John 17:1-26. 

The most profound High Priest PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you ARE and can be a PARTAKER of the grace in the Scriptures, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry in humanity, for the REDEMPTION of mankind – and that includes you knowingly and unknowingly. 

“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. 

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

Christ Jesus was and is praying that – We might KNOW our Father God and Him [Christ Jesus] who was SENT by the Father, this thus indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – [John 17:3]. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL [TESTAMENT] in Heaven into our Earthly affairs as He taught the Disciples and as us, on the HOW TO PRAY. Amen. 

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of His disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke 11:1-4. 

ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronise our spirit-being to that of the ETERNAL LIFE realm of God. For Father God has indeed, planted ETERNITY in us all – [Ecclesiastes 3:11/NKJV/AMP]. This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us. 

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

May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit-being alive that one can comprehend in essence the work [working] of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM too – [Galatians 5:25]. Do you? And if not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER [EFFORTLESSLY] in the grace wherein we stand by God in Christ Jesus stead. For the eternal realm of eternity in the grace, is far beyond the realms of the FIVE SENSES. For the eternity realm of God in Christ Jesus stead for us is the REALM wherein the FIVE SENSES of mental facilities of reasoning, has been subjected and trained to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the WORD of God, in order to sensitise and synchronise in practice, the difference between God’s DIVINE testament realm from the human sense and mental faculties realm of reasons, that’s limited in all ramifications. 

“But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose SENSES and MENTAL faculties are TRAINED by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to DIVINE or HUMAN law” Hebrews 5:14/Amplified Classic Edition. 

I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronise your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE realm of eternity in the grace, in order to give and allow the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs to ease your path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

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

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

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

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

“If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:25/Amplified. 

Further Scriptural Reading: John 17.   

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of having a deep KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY (Father God and Jesus Christ) to access ETERNAL LIFE and live a life of purpose in God’s grace. 

Jesus prayed for believers to know God and Jesus Christ, which is eternal life (John 17:3). This knowledge gives access to the ETERNITY REALM of God, where believers can comprehend God’s plan and purpose. 

Key Points: 

  • Believers are expected to WALK IN THIS ETERNITY REALM (Galatians 5:25).  
  • The KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY enables believers to articulate and authenticate God’s will.  
  • Eternal life is beyond the realms of the five senses. 

Some scriptures worth pondering: 

  • “And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3. 
  • “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of WISDOM: and the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 9:10. 

The message encourages believers to pursue a deeper understanding of God’s nature and character, enabling them to live a life that honours Him and fulfills their purpose.

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE 

By Leave a Comment

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE: TIME, EFFORTS [MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION], FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] AND PEOPLE! 

Are you keen to live in the realm of a More Than CONQUERORS? Also keen To SUCCEED? Keen To EXCEL and Be ABOVE ONLY? Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here is the WISDOM NUGGET guide for your today and tomorrow. 

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

I want you to know that a colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousness, gracefulness and loveliness; however, it’s not a giveaway otherwise the beggar [slothful and sluggard] will ride with ease, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard [slothful] and idlers. It is for the RESOLVE to succeed, excel and to be above only, with a PRAGMATIC and INTENTIONAL plan, purpose and pursuit, and to BECOME in the grace, in order to attain to the fulness of God’s testament for them; for whatever had no process is an act of fraud, hence there’s the need to MAXIMISE your God-given basic RESOURCES to do life and live godly in the grace, and these are – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and PEOPLE; and experiencing the colourful and thriving life in the grace is possible as you earnestly and meaningfully endeavour to endorse, ensure and be assured of your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in the grace – for that’s to enable you to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you effortlessly and unhindered; also, with the enabling leverage toward an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30]. 

The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you readily and steadily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a more than conquerors that’s living victoriously, in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you. [1 John 4:4-16]. 

Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilise one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk/work in wisdom with your God-given resource in your day-to-day PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. 

It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUEROR, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity, I guess. 

I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 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 3:1, 11/Amplified. 

“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. 

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, THAN he that is in the world. 5. They ARE of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6. 

“Whoso KEEPETH the COMMANDMENT shall FEEL NO EVIL THING: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5. 

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9. A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9. 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean (Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. 22 A man with an EVIL eye HASTENS after RICHES And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22/NKJV. 

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises MAXIMISING YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES (TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE) to live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life as a MORE THAN CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus.  

Key Points: 

  • A colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousness, but it’s not for the lazy or sluggard. 
  • Success requires a RESOLVE to succeed, a pragmatic plan, and purposeful pursuit. 
  • Maximise your God-given resources (TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL, and

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION! 

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

The principle of good success, excellence, and genuine prosperity is built on a process. That’s why whatever happens without a process is a fraud, for even in our redemption, our God, ensures it all works out in a process to and in Christ Jesus, and not by magical appearance. For genuine miracle is a consequence of God’s WORD that’s scripturally activated in a process within the context. Hence, I have always said, and will always say, ‘until you UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE fool’. For wisdom to succeed, prosper and excel in life is the application of knowledge. And the act of application requires an understanding of the process of the matter in context. So, there’s the need for the understanding to accompany any knowledgeable context, in order for the needed wisdom that attracts divine favours to be in operations. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient] is HARD [Difficult Challenging, Rough]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine. 

Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one-time poverty-stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty-stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all challenges and changes of sphere, in life weather conditions. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine. 

In the context of discussion, it thus means that: 

  • Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. 

 

  • Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem for yourself and to others probably one day. 

 

  • Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing. 

 

  • Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch. 
  • More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS. 

In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVED with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen. 

I know why the difference, the scriptures have an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient) is HARD (Difficult Challenging, Rough)” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish, Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of UNDERSTANDING in profiting in God’s grace and achieving success in life.  

Key Points: 

  • WISDOM is principal, but understanding is crucial for applying knowledge and achieving success (Proverbs 4:7). 
  • Without understanding, knowledge and passion can lead to failure and difficulties (Proverbs 13:15). 
  • Understanding helps you navigate life, relationships, career, and ministry effectively (Proverbs 21:16). 

Lack of understanding leads to: 

  • Reacting instead of responding 
  • Making excuses and blaming others 
  • Lack of responsibility and accountability 
  • Living without purpose 
  • UNDERSTANDING brings favour, wisdom, and purpose in God’s grace. 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding 
  • Proverbs 13:15 – Good understanding gives favor 
  • Proverbs 21:16 – Wander out of understanding’s way = unproductive 

The message urges believers to seek understanding in all aspects of life to achieve genuine success, excel in God’s grace, and live purposefully.

OUR FATHER GOD – “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE” 

By Leave a Comment

OUR FATHER GOD – “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”: YOU NEED TO WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION IN THE GRACE! 

“For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: 9 not of WORKS, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:8-9. 

Salvation, otherwise, redemption, is by grace through faith in Christ Jesus to Father God [Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 20:20-21]; and it’s not by works or by our being morally good to appease and attain to God’s righteous stand in the grace. For our access to God to being justified is by REPENTANCE towards God and faith in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, in the grace as written: 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

But after we’ve been born of God and now have access by faith, and to being justified to have peace with God in Christ Jesus, and to take a stand in the grace for virtue and glory, we are to WORK OUT OUR SALVATION in the light of the grace in Christ Jesus stead. It’s on this basis that our WORK OF FAITH, LABOUR OF LOVE and PATIENCE OF HOPE becomes an essence to do life and live godly in the grace, with the knowing and understanding that our God is “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”. Hence by God, in all we do and will in the grace, there’s an essence and assurance to our doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always OBEYED, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR [REVERENCE] and TREMBLING [AWESOMENESS]; 13 for it is God who WORKS in you BOTH TO WILL and TO DO FOR HIS GOOD PLEASURE” Philippians 2:12-13. 

As we SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, there’s the need to know that God knows your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE in the grace. And He’s not unjust, unrighteous, unfaithful and unthankful to all we do and keep doing in the grace for the good and goodness of all. Hence, there’s the need to never let anything whatever to make you to slow down in the commitments and dedication of your assured kingdom causes for the good and goodness of humanity as you do life and live godly in the grace. And to authenticate the remembrance of His BLESSEDNESS to His own, there’s also the need to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope. Hence, patience and faith are a prerequisite to the inheritance in the grace as we follow after the part of the grace. 

“But, beloved, we are CONFIDENT of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is NOT UNJUST [UNFAITHFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNTHANKFUL] to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

God loves His own that reverentially worship Him worthily and serve Him acceptably, and unreservedly, intentionally and pragmatically for who He is in all about doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. It’s important that you know while your personal works are not needed to access God in the grace to get born of God; while your work is of paramount importance to indicate you are not fake, a pretender and unserious in your choice of God in Christ Jesus after you’ve been born of God in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. And the knowing that your personal efforts right standing is a filthy rags before God in all measures of human endeavours to take a stand before Him – you need to know that our Father God is the God of REMEMBRANCE and will always honour His WORD and promises in the grace.  

“Then they that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that SERVETH him. Then shall ye return, and DISCERN between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH him not” Malachi 3:16-18. 

“But we are all as an UNCLEAN thing, and all our RIGHTEOUSNESSES are as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6. 

Therefore, don’t give up in your labour of love, work of Faith, and patience of hope in the grace. For your work in the Kingdom and for the kingdom, causes shall be rewarded in the grace as you don’t give up.  

Blessed regards as you work out your faith in reverential fears in the grace. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT: 

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let NOT your hands be WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5. 

“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 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that our Father God is “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”, who remembers and rewards our work, labour of love, and patience of hope in the grace (Malachi 3:16-18, Hebrews 6:9-12).  

Key Points: 

  • Salvation is by GRACE through FAITH in Christ Jesus, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 20:20-21). 
  • After being born of God, we must WORK OUT OUR SALVATION with reverence and awe (Philippians 2:12-13).  
  • God is faithful and remembers our labour of love, work of faith, and patience of hope (Hebrews 6:9-12, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5). 
  • Our personal efforts and righteous standing are like filthy rags before God (Isaiah 64:6), but God’s promises are YES and Amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:18-22). 
  • We should not give up in our labour of love, work of faith, and patience of hope, as God will reward our efforts (2 Chronicles 15:7). 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Ephesians 2:8-9 – Salvation by grace through faith 
  • Philippians 2:12-13 – Work out your salvation with reverence 
  • Hebrews 6:9-12 – God remembers and rewards our labour of love 
  • Malachi 3:16-18 – God remembers those who fear and serve Him 

The message encourages believers to work out their salvation with reverence, trusting that God is faithful and remembers their efforts.

HAVING AN “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE” 

By Leave a Comment

HAVING AN “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”: WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT SCRIPTURALLY! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, and Christ shall GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, BUT UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS” Ephesians 5:14-17. 

“And of the children of Issachar, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT to do; the HEADS of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32. 

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: AND WITH ALL THY GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

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

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to GIVE THANKS FOR YOU, MAKING MENTION OF YOU IN MY PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, MAY GIVE UNTO YOU the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 THE EYES OF YOUR UNDERSTANDING BEING ENLIGHTENED; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 FAR ABOVE ALL principality, and power, and might, and dominion, AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED, NOT ONLY IN THIS WORLD, BUT ALSO IN THAT WHICH IS TO COME: 22 and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head OVER ALL THINGS TO THE CHURCH, 23 which is his body, the FULNESS of him that filleth all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23. 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21. 

Personified Prayer Scriptures: Ephesians 1:15-23; Colossians 1:9-20. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE of God, wherein we stand in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1-2).  

Key Points: 

  • GACE enables us to stand and become what we want to be in Christ, but it can be frustrated or misused without understanding (Galatians 2:20-21, 1 Corinthians 15:10).  
  • Passion and knowledge aren’t enough; understanding is crucial for success in our walk and work of faith (Proverbs 21:15, 13:15).  
  • Understanding helps us make wise decisions, redeem time, and know God’s will (Ephesians 5:14-17, 1 Chronicles 12:32). 
  • We must crave understanding in God’s grace to fulfill His intent in our redemption (Proverbs 4:7, Ephesians 1:17-18). 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Romans 5:1-2 – Justified by faith, access to God’s grace 
  • 1 Chronicles 12:32 – Men of Issachar had understanding of the times 
  • Proverbs 4:7 – Get wisdom and understanding 
  • Ephesians 5:14-17 – Walk wisely, understanding God’s will 

The message urges believers to seek understanding in God’s grace to maximise their faith, avoid mistakes, and fulfill God’s purpose

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IS PURE AND IMPARTIAL AND ENRICHING TO ALL – AND IS COMMUNICATED BY FAITH! 

“For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is NO DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:11-13 

The day I read that being born again means believing God in Christ Jesus stead, that our Father God is RICH TO ALL who call upon His name, and there’s no difference [distinction] with Him – my perspective, context, and content in grace changed forever for good and goodness [Romans 10:11-13]. Knowing that fellowship is to enhance the relationship with Father God in Christ Jesus stead [Acts 20:20-21; 1 Corinthians 1:9] it’s irrespective; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice or dissimulation, it enforced the understanding that God’s BLESSEDNESS isn’t limited to few;  isn’t based on status, tongue, race, gender, geography, or such like; but is enriching and available to ALL in the grace [Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-33]. 

God is no RESPECTER of persons. Indicating that God’s enriching to all nations is not limited by reason of geography; and His enriching to any is by having a right standing in RIGHTEOUSNESS with Father God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s when joy, peace in the Holy Spirit is known. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I UNDERSTAND now that God is not one to show PARTIALITY [to people as though Gentiles were EXCLUDED from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the PERSON who FEARS God and DOES what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified. 

“For the KINGDOM of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who SERVES Christ in these things is ACCEPTABLE to God and APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/NKJV. 

The BLESSEDNESS of God in you, in Christ Jesus, needs to be harness, stir up and fan into flame in order to become tangible, reachable, liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, when it’s communicated by faith in the Holy Spirit that’s given to us. 

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6. 

“And hope MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

And you have to realise and actualise in your total being, that, THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is PURE, ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL to all, including you, and is the GOOD and GOODNESS of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. It’s presence in you is a default to help you to be EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT – that is, to be results oriented and productive, in bringing into reality and tangibility the needed things you need to do in life and to live godly, in Christ Jesus stead. It’s by your willingness to acknowledge that the good and goodness of God in you, makes all the difference in you and through you, in order for you to advance the kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay effortlessly. 

And it’s imperative for you to come for realise and actualise in God’s redemption, His BLESSEDNESS is lavishly given and entrusted to us to enjoy as our rights and privileges – without partiality, sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation (hypocrisy). We all have the same access by FAITH and stand by GRACE toward God in Christ Jesus, from every KINDRED, TONGUE, PEOPLE, and NATION. None, irrespective, is limited from God’s BLESSEDNESS by any means. 

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

However, the FEAR of the unknown and through ignorance of not knowing what’s IN YOU to make a headway in God in Christ Jesus, makes people want to hold other person or people as an entitlement and being responsible and accountable for their happiness, peace and fulfilment. I want you to know and understand that FEAR will intimidate, harasses, torment, embarrass, cowardice, frustrate, destroy, limit and do such like, to an individual in order for such individual to be robbed of becoming what they ARE and OUGHT to be in God, in Christ Jesus stead. 

The above paragraph explains how fear effected scriptural young Timothy, who was called for a purpose and had PRAYERS and PROPHECIES ENDOWED upon him during his ordination. Despite this, he allowed FEAR, the ENEMY and COHORTS policing officer, to take hold of him, letting it rule and reign over him. This hindered him from functioning in LOVE, POWER, and SOUND MIND, making it difficult to make rightful decisions to progress and take him to the next stage of his life. 

It took Apostle Paul presence, the need for a very good healthy mentor, in reminding him of his ENDOWED BLESSEDNESS and that the spirit of God given in him to harness, stir and fan into flame within him to MANIFEST into REALITY – all the good and goodness he earnestly desired, does not live and operate within the sphere of fear. And that’s the reason he has to double up out of the spirit of fear sphere and all it represents, so that he can bring to reality the GOOD of God, done as a default in him in Christ Jesus. Amen.  

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the SPECIAL ENDOWMENT] which is IN YOU through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7. 

And where THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD operates in perfect love, fear and its sphere will disappear into oblivion and the individual can take on any judgement that’s challenging the FAITH of access toward God and the GRACE upon which one stands in Christ Jesus, in harnessing THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within, in order to create and initiate the heavenly atmosphere in our earthly affairs, as the Apostle John epistle admonishes and our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, taught us on how to PRAY.  

“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. 

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, when ye PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, so IN EARTH….” Luke 11:1-4. 

It’s intriguing to note that 1 John 4:17 says, “. . . as He is, so ARE we in this world” while Luke 11:2 says, “. . . let your will be done as in heaven so ALSO on the earth”. This indicates how much we can, by THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within us as a default, we can create and initiate the atmosphere we want to see and enjoy of God irrespective of anything. For by the communication of our FAITH, and acknowledging of the good and goodness of God within us in Christ Jesus, is the HOW to harness, stir up, and fan into flame to achieve the EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT desired and needed results and productivity in our path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Just know today that THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD is PURE and ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL; and it’s not corruptible, neither is there a place for sorrow and anguishing for any to ROB you off it, so that you don’t go about blaming others by any means, process and platforms, for the inoperative of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you. All simply because you have not made an intentional decision, and have not been able to harness, stir it up and fan into flame – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – within you, because of the fear and ignorance of your own, in not communicating by faith, through the acknowledging of the good and goodness of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY that you might abound in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:3-4. 

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10. How was it then reckoned? When he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25. 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

MONTH MAY: MONTH OF EXPLORING, EXPRESSING AND ENACTING – FAITH IN “GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things shall be added to you” Matthew 6:33 [Luke 12:31]. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they BEING IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and seeking to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted to THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or, “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the JEW and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED”. Romans 10:1-13. 

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions” Psalms 45:6-7. 

“And of the angels He says: “Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the oil of gladness MORE THAN Your companions” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.  

“Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” Romans 14:16-17/NKJV. 

“For I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ, for it is THE POWER of God to SALVATION for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD is REVEALED from faith to faith; as it is written, “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17. 

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will REIGN in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21/NKJV. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW then, we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He MADE Him who KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

THE MONTH MAY: MONTH OF EXPLORING, EXPRESSING AND ENACTING

THE MONTH MAY: MONTH OF EXPLORING, EXPRESSING AND ENACTING – “FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

The Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and it’s the THIRD month of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month MAY is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and while it’s AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH [number 5] month, thus speaks of PERFECTING and PERFECTION which is reckoned to WHOLENESS, MATURITY, COMPLETENESS in BLESSEDNESS – just as the other numbers of 3, 7 and 9 has significance and have scriptural implications in the Christian Biblical faith-based on such numerical number’s and counting’s; and Month MAY, being of the numeric number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity in context of the Month MAY theme, for us to explore and express our – “FAITH ON GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. And may we stir up and harness graciously and gracefully this stand in grace, in order to enact, authenticate and actualise the FULNESS of God in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus; This will help to ensure and assure us in fulfilling God’s purpose for us in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

For the BLESSEDNESS of God is only tangible and, in our reality, when we are exercising, executing and expressing “FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” in Christ Jesus stead. And God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all irrespective. And with God, there’s no difference to all in His righteousness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“For Christ is THE END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to EVERY ONE that BELIEVETH. 5 For Moses describeth THE RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH IS OF THE LAW, That the man which doeth those things shall LIVE by them. 6 But the RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF FAITH speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7 or, who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8 But what Saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:4-13. 

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is PURE – meaning it’s incorruptible, irreplaceable and irreversible and priceless; and it can’t be counterfeited and it gives the enabling to fulfill God’s purpose to all irrespective – [Romans 8:28; Philippians 4:8; Proverbs 10:22; Matthew 6:19-23]. 

And through this Month MAY, I will be exploring matters that will enable you to have “FAITH ON GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” in Christ Jesus stead, that will make you lift up your justified holy hands without shame, fear, wrath, doubt, inferiority and self-pity and cowardice and such like, as it’s written: 

“I desire therefore that in every place men should pray, without anger or quarreling or resentment or doubt [in their minds], lifting up holy hands” 1 Timothy 2:8/AMP Classic Edition. 

Under God, I welcome you to Month MAY, wherein we can take our stand on our justified righteous stand in Christ Jesus, to rule and reign in life on this side of heaven by our God in His BLESSEDNESS. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all these things shall be added to you” Matthew 6:33 [Luke 12:31]. 

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they BEING IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and seeking to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted to THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or “ ‘Who will descend into the abyss?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the JEW and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED”. Romans 10:1-13.

“For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will REIGN in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21/NKJV. 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW then, we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He MADE Him who KNEW NO SIN TO BE SIN FOR US, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/NKJV.

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN 

By Leave a Comment

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

“That is why I remind you to FAN INTO FLAME the gracious GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is IN you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God DID NOT GIVE US a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN US a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 2:6-7/AMP. 

When you stir up the Spiritual gift within you, then the elements of FEAR – (and ALL it stands for) – will give way for you to exercise and actualise BOLDNESS, POWER, SOUND MIND, LOVE and PEACE in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

In Scriptural and translation version terms, to STIR UP means: 

  • To rekindle (NkJV) 
  • To fan into flames (NLT) 
  • To keep ablaze (Message Bible) 
  • To keep alive (Good News Translation) 
  • To flame into fire (LB) 
  • And such as much and more . . . when actively in operation. 

In ancient times embers were kept slowly burning so that they could be fanned into flames when a fire was needed. And we all need fire in our bones to set us ablaze for the next levels in our lives. For no flies hangs around and about a flaming vicinity for any reason – indicating, that matters that are irrelevant to your wellbeing in fulfilling purpose can’t be within your vicinity when you are rekindling and inflaming by the Holy Spirit of life and grace to fulfil purpose. 

Apostle Paul said to Timothy, if he MUST overcome FEAR of all sorts in life and godliness, he must FAN into flame – to rekindle and to keep alive the Holy Spirit gift within him, in order to ENJOY the sound mind, peace, love, self-control and more in his life and ministry, as he do life and live godly in Christ Jesus. Same also, is applicable to you and I in life and grace. 

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

STIRRING UP THE SPIRITUAL GRACE WITHIN GIVES THE ENABLING TO ENACT THE POWER, LOVE. AND SOUND MIND YOU HAVE BEEN ENDOWED WITH 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“That is why I remind you to FAN INTO FLAME the gracious GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is IN you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 2:6-7/AMP. 

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21/AMP. 

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

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises Stirring Up the Spiritual Grace Within, encouraging believers to fan into flame the gift of the Holy Spirit to overcome fear, timidity, and cowardice. 

Key Points: 

  • God gave us a spirit of power, love, sound judgment, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). 
  • Stirring up the spiritual gift within gives enabling grace to enact these qualities.  
  • To stir up the spirit within, pray in the Holy Spirit (Jude 1:20, Ephesians 6:18). 

This leads to: 

  • Overcoming fear and its effects
