WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST: MONTH TO – “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” – IN HIS BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

Herein are some SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT to the month theme for your perusal:

POWER TO CREATE WEALTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that GIVETH THEE POWER TO GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH His COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18.

POWER TO BE A WITNESS IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

POWER AGAINST UNCLEAN SPIRITS AND SUCH LIKE IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“And when he had CALLED unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them POWER AGAINST unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, whose surname was Thaddæus; 4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus SENT FORTH, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give . . . .” Matthew 10:1-42.

POWER TO HEAL SICKNESSES AND DISEASES AND CAST OUT DEVILS IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

POWER TO BECOME IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE He POWER TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

POWER TO TREAD OVER THE POWER OF THE ENEMY AND COHORTS IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I GIVE unto you POWER TO TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and over all the POWER of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20.

GREAT POWER ACCOMPANIED WITH GREAT GRACE IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”!

You are highly WELCOME to the DAWN of our eighth [8] month AUGUST – our NEW DAWN MONTH in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and 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 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and  Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that is, it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore, means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it became the most talked about day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios, but you have some and can testify to that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore, it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and why to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFY or DIGNIFY my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminence, dignity, reverence, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And no one puts NEW WINE into OLD WINESKINS; or else the NEW WINE bursts the wineskins, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But NEW WINE must be put into NEW WINESKINS” Mark 2:22 NKJV.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And WINE that maketh glad the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to shine, and BREAD which strengtheneth man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted WINE, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have NO WINE. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:5, 8.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If Any Man Thirst, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)” John 7:37-39.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, these men are full of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-21.

AFD AUGUST 2025

By 1 Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH AUGUST 2025: THE MONTH IS ENTITLED – “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS” – IN THE GRACE!
“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.

I want to specially WELCOME you by the scriptures of Revelation 19:9-10 and Philippians 2:16, to the DAWN of the eighth [8] month in the year of the Lord 2025; for the Month AUGUST – thus signify a NEW DAWN MONTH to share in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
And the month AUGUST is entitled – Month of “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS* in the grace as we do life and live godly in Him.

The Month AUGUST, being the eight month of the year and thus represents a new beginning, is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long.
And it’s my earnest PRAYERS as we’ve turned into this month for us to hold unto that PRINCIPLE in the grace that will help and keep us to do life and live godly in the grace.

The name AUGUST thus creates an inspiring, revealing and empowering context of grace, as being sanctified – as to being set apart for uniqueness and class for – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY, GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And with regards to the theme, it takes the holding forth the testimony of Jesus to ensure and be assured any in the grace to august, thus meaning, to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.
 
And through the month AUGUST, I will be exploring on how we can hold forth the testimony of Jesus in every aspects of our doing life and living godly in thee grace. For it’s in our Holding forth the testimony of Jesus, that will can experience the genuine spirit of prophecy that’s unadulterated, uncompromising, unpolluted and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And it’s simply because in the grace, we have A MORE ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY to ensure that we are assured of God’s BLESSEDNESS as it’s written:
 
“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

And one major principles of HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS, is by HOLDING FORTH TO THE WORD OF LIFE in the grace unwaveringly as written:

“HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain” Philippians 2:16.
 
Therefore, in this Month AUGUST, I hope you will get yourself ready for the teaching ride on the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of God’s grace in Christ Jesus on what “HOLDING FORTH THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST” will results.

Welcome once again to the month AUGUST! And may you find a reason to ensure and assure yourself, that as you hold forth the testimony of Jesus you will experience the blessedness of grace in respects to being REVERED, be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and such like.

Be blessed in the grace as we explore the theme through the month in the grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 that ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; 16 HOLDING FORTH THE WORD OF LIFE; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain. 17 Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all” Philippians 2:13-17.

“And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. 10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS is THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:9-10.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the law among my disciples . . . 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no light in them” Isaiah 8:16-20.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“BE NOT THOU THEREFORE ASHAMED OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD, NOR OF ME HIS PRISONER: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: 11 whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles” 2 Timothy 1:8-11.

“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ; 5 that in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; 6 even as THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WAS CONFIRMED IN YOU: 7 so that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: 8 who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:4-9.

“Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.
 
“Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 HOLDING THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:8-9.

“For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; 8 but a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; 9 HOLDING FAST THE FAITHFUL WORD as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers” Titus 1:7-9.

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY

By Leave a Comment

THE “LOVE” OF MONEY: THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDES EFFECT’S!

“For THE LOVE OF MONEY is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10/Emphasis Mine.

MONEY (Finance) is a DE FACTO medium of exchange. And “MONEY” on its merit, is not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaim; but it is THE “LOVE OF MONEY”, that is what the ROOT of ALL EVIL thus indicate. Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence in life, when wisely and prudently expended.

“WISDOM along with an INHERITANCE is good. And an [excellent] advantage for those who see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a protection even as MONEY is a protection, But the [excellent] advantage of KNOWLEDGE is that WISDOM shields and preserves the lives of its possessors” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12/Amplified.

Money is good when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not made to be as lord to every vital and legal means of living and doing life. You have to make money a servant or an errand tool only, and not your life controller, for only then will you experience the PEACE of mind that’s indescribable and incomprehensible. With peace of mind, one is able to be CONTENT and LIVE GODLY, and to keep THE “LOVE OF MONEY” temptation at bay.

You must know and understand as God’s own that GAIN is not GODLINESS or equal to GODLINESS, but rather, that GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT, is a great GAIN as the Scripture enjoined.

“. . . 6 But GODLINESS actually is a SOURCE of GREAT GAIN when accompanied by CONTENTMENT [that contentment which comes from a sense of inner confidence based on the SUFFICIENCY of God]” 1 Timothy 6:3-6/Amplified.

And in as much as Money is good for the causes already explained, there’s a problem when one falls into the phase and sphere of – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”. For “THE LOVE OF MONEY” has some CAUSES and SIDES EFFECTS. And herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS to observe, in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – “THE LOVE OF MONEY” syndromes:

  1. “THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleeplessness moments, if and when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the full stomach (greed) of the rich [who hungers for even more] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

  1. “THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows and breeds greediness and covetousness.

“He who LOVES MONEY WILL NOT BE SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES abundance with its GAIN. This too is vanity [emptiness]” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

  1. “THE LOVE OF MONEY” CAUSES TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the BREAKING OF RULES, even THE LAW in order to get and acquire more at any cost irrespective of the underlying consequences.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after VAIN persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH HATH AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a MONEY LOVER for mere self and selfish gratifications at – the EXPENSE of others, the decency and order of the RULE of law, the worth of living good to yourself, to family and to the community and to the nation you service.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10 (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” Ecclesiastes 10:19.

“Wisdom is good with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM giveth life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“. . . 3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, AND TO THE DOCTRINE WHICH IS ACCORDING TO GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS WITH CONTENTMENT IS GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

“But if any PROVIDE NOT for his own, and specially for those of his OWN house, he hath DENIED THE FAITH, and is WORSE than an INFIDEL (UNBELIEVER)” 1 Timothy 5:8.

“Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye WITHDRAW yourselves from every brother that WALKETH DISORDERLY, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we BEHAVED NOT OURSELVES DISORDERLY among you; 8 neither did we eat any man’s BREAD FOR NOUGHT; but wrought with LABOUR and travail night and day, that we might not be CHARGEABLE to any of you: 9 not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us. 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, THAT IF ANY WOULD NOT WORK, NEITHER SHOULD HE EAT. 11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you DISORDERLY, working not at all, but are BUSYBODIES. 12 Now them that are such we COMMAND and EXHORT by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they WORK, and EAT their OWN bread” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12.

“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:9.

The scripture declares that He that finds a wife, finds a BLESSED [good, precious, gracious, lovely, admirable etc] thing and is qualified to obtain FAVOUR [BLESSEDNESS] from the Lord. What an incredible scriptural endowment and enduement upon the Believing marriage couple in the grace. And it’s simply because they are purposefully CALLED into the marriage to INHERIT a BLESSING as 1 Peter 3:9 enjoins. That’s why every believing couple in the grace should raise their heads up, shoulders high and on their highest heels of faith, because THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE is BLESSED in the grace. That’s why you must daily and continuously speak forth healthy and gracious words to your relationship as Jesus do speak forth while in humanity [Luke 4:22]. You can’t be speaking cursed words and swear words and regrettable words to your spouse in the grace and want the blessedness of God to be materialised, actualised and be fruitful at the same time in the grace. You must be intentional and pragmatic to speak forth healthy and gracious words of faith, hope and love to your spouse to keep the blessedness, thereby over time and time and time, you see the relationship blossom, refreshed, rejuvenated, rekindled, synergised, flavoured and such like. Your words on what God has favoured you in His BLESSEDNESS is gracious to enhance your placement in THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE in the grace.

“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. 22 Whoso findeth a WIFE findeth a Good Thing, and OBTAINETH FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22.

“And all bare Him [Jesus Christ] 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.

“A GOOD MAN out of the GOOD TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is GOOD; and an EVIL MAN out of the EVIL TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is EVIL: for of the ABUNDANCE of the HEART his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 66:45 [Matthew 12:33-35].

The Believer’s marriage in Christ Jesus is BLESSED in the grace irrespective. That’s the divine default set from the begining of marriage creation by Father God. And it’s irrespective on how you feel about it or think about it or believe in it or live in it and such like context you may hold toward it. And it’s not cursed or a cursed thing or anything as such as unnecessary evil as some may think or perhaps have attributed in their world and context. I just want  you to know without a shadow of doubt that the creator God that made marriage is able to keep it and sustain it through all phases in the grace if we let Him be in charge as by His purpose and design in the Holy writ.

For God in marriage creation, He BLESSED them [Adam and Eve] when He set the marriage purpose in place. It’s only what and how people do with the blessedness of God in the grace in Christ Jesus, that can make it be a desired blessing as in the scriptural default otherwise it can become to them by the alternative context as it may seem to be to them as if it’s a cursed or a cursed thing or the attributed unnecessary evil by the ignorance of the scriptures.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [MISTAKENLY, ERRONEOUSLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis mine.

Indeed, in scriptural context as of God, the Believer’s marriage in the grace is BLESSED. God has Blessed marriage by every measure and there’s no controversy for the believing one in the grace that lets God’s purpose and essence to be their DE FACTO in the marital journey.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created He THEM. 28 And God BLESSED them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and Subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

In God’s BLESSEDNESS, to be [being] BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to succeed, to achieve, to become and to prosper in the grace. For THE BLESSING of God is to enrich [make rich] and He adds no sorrow, regrets and setbacks to it. And the blessing of God is not physical per se, for anyone to be able to temper with its nature, or to adulterate it, or to pervert it, or to fake it, or to camouflage it, or distort it even though the devil and cohorts have tried severally. That doesn’t mean the devil and its cohorts have not tried severally to undermine the integrity of the Believer’s marriage in the grace, thereby ensuring that the BLESSEDNESS of God is shunted and disbelieved. Unfortunately, because THE BLESSING of God is authentic, it has stood the test of time, enriching all who hold it dearly as promised.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

The blessedness of the believing one is located and stored in the heavenly to avoid thieves and robbers; it’s there, wherein Christ Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father God and by grace we are therein seated at His right hand by the right hand of the Father God; and as such, no thief and robber can break in to devour the blessed treasure that the believing one in Christ Jesus is endowed and endued with in the grace, as a possession in redemption.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 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” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath RAISED us up together, and MADE us SIT together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:19-21.

The believing ones, the seed of Abraham by faith are blessed in the grace. And THE BLESSING of God is empowered by the Holy Spirit given to us in the grace, to empower and actualise in redemption towards everything that pertains to doing life and living godly [godliness] in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . . 13 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:-9, 13-14.

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified.

And THE BLESSING of God for the believing seed of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus, is beyond walls – for its firstly in the realm of the spirit of grace for our earthly utilisation; and as such there’s no colour, no gender, no tribe, no tongue and such like limitations to any, on the BLESSEDNESS of God as to the Believer’s marriage and in every aspect of doing life and living godly by the believing one in Christ Jesus stead. For redemption is for all and it cuts across – kindred, tongue and nations – as it enriches all that believe of God’s salvation and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, don’t think that your marriage isn’t blessed at all because of any geography, tongue, gender, colour and location and such like.

“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 3:26-29.

“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.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

The assurance of God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace is found by – marrying the believing person you love . . . And loving the believing person you married . . . For, that’s what gives the believing one the synergy that keeps relationship thriving and flourishing, refreshing and blossoming, rekindling and rejuvenating in the grace . . . For it’s as the love light keeps glowing in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. The Believer’s marriage is BLESSED in the grace; you need to believe God’s Scriptural context rather than your feelings or what you see or experience and such like. It’s because, accessing the blessedness of the Believer’s marriage in the grace is by firstly acknowledging the measure of the grace and the measure of the grace that’s attributed to your relationship in the grace to be of blessing and not a curse.

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE of faith” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

The blessedness of the the Believer’s marriage in the grace is not only in believing but in communicating [speaking it forth in the grace, for out of the abundance of the heart believe, the mouth speaks forth in the grace in Faith]. Because our warfare and battle are of faith. The devil and cohorts are working 24/7 trying to engage with us on our faith journey. For the enemy knows that if one can deny the faith, then he can achieve and accomplish his purpose.

“That the communication of thy FAITH may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

Like everything under the sun and in the world that God has made, there will be challenging times and difficulties in the marriage at various phase of progression in the marriage. There will be times of serious indifference and doubt and disputing in the relationship – but it’s the couple’s responsibility to see all as ISSUES and not PERSONS. So that they can together deal with the issues as they see it instead of attacking each other’s persons thereby giving way to distortion in the default marital blessing in the grace. The enemy and cohorts we know, the world system and it’s challenge we see, the flesh [pride of life, lust of the eyes, desires of the flesh] in us, and the religion [religiosity we display, denomination doctrines we hold to, sectarianism  and dogmas] will rise up against our faith in the marital grace. We must choose our battle, for we are only allowed to fight the good fight of faith and good warfare at all times. And when we have this understanding, we can then ensure our blessedness in the grace.

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

Therefore, I COMMEND you to God and to the word of His Grace that will build you up and give you an INHERITANCE in the grace, to take a stand in the grace, and start a new you in an onward and upward trajectory, assured as you ensure that you as a believer, your believer marriage is favoured and blessed and irrespective of the sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation about you now or tomorrow.

I pray you into God’s enabling grace to enjoy your marital BLESSEDNESS in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; he will be satisfied with the consequence of his words. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. 22 He who finds a [true and faithful] wife FINDS a good thing and obtains FAVOR and APPROVAL from the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22/Amplified.

“. . . 7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your PRAYERS WILL NOT BE HINDERED or INEFFECTIVE. 8 Finally, all of you be like-minded [united in spirit], sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted [courteous and compassionate toward each other as members of one household], and humble in spirit; 9 and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been CALLED for this very purpose, that you might INHERIT a BLESSING [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection]. 10 For, “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit). 11 “He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right. He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it]. 12 “For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), and His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer), but the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/Amplified.

“Being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house]. 25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless. 28 Even so husbands should and are morally obligated to love their own wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members (parts) of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church. 33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear]” Ephesians 5:21-33/Amplified.

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER: It’s TIME To PRAY And Not To PLAY And FAINT!

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

When you are against the WALLS of personal, family and national ECONOMIC CRISIS, PANDEMIC, DISEASES and WAR EFFECTS, and such like NATURAL or MAN-MADE disasters –  you need no special vision or Prophet to inform you that you need to CONNECT to the HEAVENLY in order to resolve your EARTHLY affairs.

There’s ALWAYS an ANSWER to the Human problem – and PRAYER makes  ALL the DIFFERENCE – it’s time to give it a GO as in the Bible days of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, when there ARE:

  • NO RAIN – Meaning NO – job, productivity, employment, opportunities, creativity, innovation, and side effects of no more – love, joy, peace, happiness as should be . . .
  • DEVOURING LOCUST – Meaning No productivity, economic meltdown, business/company closure, financial indebtedness, and personal or national economic decline, the powerful eating up the poor and more – injustice, war, hunger, corruption and such like.
  • PESTILENCE/EPIDEMICS/PANDEMIC – Meaning Sickness and Diseases of ALL sorts that can kill and ruin lives, make stagnant and maim one’s life with pains, suffering and more as epidemic and pandemic of any sorts.

IT’S TIME TO GENUINELY PRAY AND NOT PLAY and FAINT [OR BE WEARY, GIVE UP] – THERE IS ALREADY AN ECONOMIC EFFECT GRADUALLY SIPPING IN AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC AND WAR EFFECTS ON NATIONS.

WATCH and PRAY before you BECOME a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“WATCH and PRAY, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” Matthew 26:41.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

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

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

“But the END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND: be ye therefore sober, and WATCH UNTO PRAYER” 1 Peter 4:7.

“Continue in PRAYER, and WATCH in the same with THANKSGIVING” Colossians 4:2.

“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2 and had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 4 Then David and the people that were with him LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE AND WEPT, UNTIL THEY HAD NO MORE POWER TO WEEP. 5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 6 And David was GREATLY DISTRESSED; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 8 And David ENQUIRED at the Lord, saying, Shall I PURSUE after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He ANSWERED him, PURSUE: for thou shalt surely OVERTAKE them, AND WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL . . . 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David RECOVERED ALL. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil . . .” 1 Samuel 30:1-31.

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

By Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

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

It’s time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking for a PROPHECY instead of seeking for the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus stead. And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY. You must come to know that no matter who DARE speaks into your life as a MAN OR ANGEL and such like, on THAT so called and acclaimed PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE, MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in your Life – What Christ has DONE, is DOING and will do THROUGH you in His Word by the blessed Holy Spirit that’s given and living within you. The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus wherein you have a better and done – ACCESS, PROMISE, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP and such like. That’s the HOW TO MEASURE and SECTION the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY. For the message is to EDIFY, EXHORT And COMFORT. Anything else especially attracting FEAR and THREATS in all its ramifications is false and falsehood no matter who speaks or is speaking. Be a Victor and not a victim especially in your vulnerable moment. It’s not about the NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/Emphasis Mine.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit WITHIN you by THE WORD in God’s love and not to intimidate and undermine your place in Christ Jesus stead.

“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:17.

“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.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH on what Jesus has done, is doing and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

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

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

And in all these, it MUST be without acts of FEAR and THREAT and GAINS. For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR, THREAT and INTIMIDATION [2 Timothy 1:7]. And God’s perfect love of Christ in PROPHECY cast out every element of FEAR and TORMENT and CONFUSION and SCHISM [1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19]. There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, that any can believe upon and must be ever acclaimed to possess, give, deliver and receive of God. And that’s the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY the false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECIES out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that  genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECIES should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE, that is, to JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed by them is of God and Scriptural as expected in the light of the scriptures otherwise such is proud, arrogant and false [1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10]. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT [Acts 8:9-26].

Are you building your life on just the Prophet’s Prophecy? Or a Prophetic book referenced to you? Please pause and think scripturally about it before you act on it. God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today as in the Bible days and for your tomorrow. God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so call Prophet or Prophetess, for your today and tomorrow’s VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything whatsoever. [Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17;  2 Timothy 2:15].

DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL – READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET FOR YOUR DEFINITION AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples . .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

“Beloved, BELIEVE NOT every spirit, but TRY [EXAMINE] the spirits whether they ARE of God: because many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the world” John 4:1-3/Emphasis Mine.

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and ALL MAY BE COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . . 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man THINK himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:31-40.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 10:23.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To the OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices, they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHETS and the PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same meaning, are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister to God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT; in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God doesn’t leave His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass through any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results in EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be EXAMINED indicates them to be erroneous, ignorant, proud, rude, self-egoistic and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced, because they are unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELLING (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims to and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT’S PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“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. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

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

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

STAY ON YOUR LANE – DON’T COMPARE OR COMPETE

STAY ON YOUR LANE – DON’T COMPARE OR COMPETE: THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR OWN STORY AND STORYLINE!

“For we DARE NOT make ourselves of the number, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

BE YOU IN LIFE AND GRACE – GODLY LIVING. BECOME WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE. BE MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLED IN THE PURPOSE AND CAUSE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN YOU!

AND SAY AMEN.

My wife sent this highly recommended lovely read below by BEN CARSON this morning to me. I pray you get wisdom from it as you read it too. It’s inspiring and empowering.

BEN CARSON WROTE:

I was jogging this morning and I noticed a person about ½ a kilometer ahead. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him. I had about a kilometer before I needed to turn off. So I started running faster and faster.

Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him.

Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. “I beat him” Of course, he didn’t even know we were racing.

After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my house. I had gone nearly six blocks past my house and I had to turn and go back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important?

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God-given destinies.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.

But realize that “You can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone.”

Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and driving.

Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you’ll be blessed by it. Stay focused and live a healthy life. There is no competition in Destiny.

*RUN YOUR OWN RACE AND WISH OTHERS WELL TOO*

Good day all, please have a wonderful and restful day. Keep yourself safe please.

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF

By Leave a Comment

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in error, being mistaken and taken up as  PREY, and becoming the VICTIM of the ENEMY, and COHORTS, because of one’s knowing or unknowing shade of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 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 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . ” Isaiah 5:11-16.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing; it will otherwise expose you to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deception, adulteration, delusion, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lions and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Ministers of God while they are under the enclave of Sayan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world about you toward God’s Word to avoid walking in error. You need to INTENTIONALLY  and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – to enable you to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s the place of honour, dignity and nobility that was found in the believers of Berea in Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 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 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . ” Isaiah 5:11-16.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth NOT to be ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE TO MAKE thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

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

“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.
