The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION: OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION IS DONE!
 
“For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.
 
There is this very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the crucifixion and death, the burial and resurrection, and the ascension and enthronement, of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – it’s for this truth, about our restoration to Dominion that was once lost in EDEN now found by the CROSS for our REDEMPTION.
 
“And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . . 17 And ye shall OBSERVE the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye OBSERVE this day in your generations by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .24 And ye shall OBSERVE this thing for an ORDINANCE to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the LAND which the Lord will GIVE you, according as he hath PROMISED, that ye shall KEEP this SERVICE. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, WHAT MEAN YE BY THIS SERVICE? 27 that ye shall say, It is the SACRIFICE of the Lord’s PASSOVER, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and DELIVERED our houses. And the people BOWED the head and WORSHIPPED . . .” Exodus 12:14-28.
 
The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done by an act of faith and faithfulness toward God for the deliverance, emancipation and redemption of the Israelites from the horrors and bondages that was in the then Egypt [Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36]; and to uniquely set apart as a MARKED out people and to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE His good and goodness toward His people, indicating of the deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS.
 
PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).
 
That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.
 
Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture:
 
“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.
 
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.
 
PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.
 
“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20.
 
“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 THROUGH FAITH HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned” Exodus 11:24-29.

YOU ARE REDEEMED AND BLESSED – FROM SIN AND IT’S EFFECT

YOU ARE REDEEMED AND BLESSED – FROM SIN AND IT’S EFFECT: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH!
 
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
 
Do you know what? I am so spirited, super excited, graciously happy, genuinely rejuvenating and absolutely overwhelmed with unspeakable joy and peace – simply for the daily KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that – Christ had REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the FALL and the CURSE of the LAW; for the CURSE of the LAW was as a consequence and results of the CURSE of the FALL. This makes my intent in Christ Jesus, more of a reality, awesomely and amazingly driven to POSSESSING OUR POSSESSIONS in REDEMPTION.
 
Much more, we are REDEEMED from the summed curse EFFECT and STING of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. When you know and understand this, then your ONLY responsibility is to APPROPRIATE, ENACT to ENSURE it by GRACE through FAITH toward GOD in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 5:1-2. For it is your spiritual – vital and legal RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus, to POSSESS YOUR POSSESSIONS in Him. Amen.
 
In the OLD TESTAMENT, the BLESSING of God was based on terms of CONDITION – that is, CONDITIONALITY hence it’s of “IF” – Deuteronomy 28: 1-14; but in the NEW TESTAMENT for the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus, God’s BLESSING is GIVEN, based on the DONE work of Christ Jesus for our REDEMPTION – Ephesians 1:3; Romans 4.
 
I am emboldened to say that our REDEMPTION BLESSING – IS A DONE DEED. That’s why your ACT OF FAITH on the BELIEVE of the DONE DEED is all you need to do. Even as Abraham BELIEVE the GOSPEL PREACHED (Galatians 3:6-9) – to Him and he RECEIVED his BLESSEDNESS, so can we RECEIVE ‘WHEN’ we BELIEVE not on the ‘IF’ we BELIEVE- and now we can say also – we BELIEVE to RECEIVE – as it’s written – 2 Corinthians 4:13. Praise God. Hallelujah. Amen.
“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13
 
Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus to thrive in your REDEMPTION.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!
 
“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).
 
To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.
 
In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.
 
Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.
 
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).
 
FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.
Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters

By Leave a Comment

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!
 
“For the GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to SAY “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT age, 13 while we WAIT for the BLESSED hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine.
 
We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they want to DO Good for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life.
 
Am here to let you know that it’s  high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy.
 
You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology of what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty.
 
“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine.
 
Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to – save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity.
 
It’s a more gracious graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help any where you can, without guilt and shame at any point.
 
May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is for to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD.
 
“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4.
 
“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.
 
“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19].
 
My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detrimental. I am NOT saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.
 
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].
 
“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine.
 
Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH.
 
Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.
 
BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD.
 
I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.
 
SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!
 
“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.
 
In course of time, I have seen how some so called Believers who just wants to wake up in the Christian faith with everything readily ready for them at no cost. There are some who will not take a stand in Christ Jesus, but wants to get everything readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost; and while there are some too, who are without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead thinks it’s entitlement to have anything at no cost. While in another scenario, there are some Believers who wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, expecting a perfect church services section that’s readily set, and music set, and decorations set, and message set, and reception set, and welcoming set and such like, as may be applicable with no aota of their input. These are the Believers so called, who wants not to belong but wants to have a beautiful atmosphere, and gracious environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there without a participatory contribution to the desired outcome.
 
“NOT FORSAKING our meeting together [as BELIEVERS for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT of SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified.
 
And these set of nonchalant Believer’s who are less or of no concerns to play a role in the act of BELONGING to their set Church gathering place, which they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, are already knowingly and unknowingly hindering their own Blessedness. The concept to see that other Believers but not them, are to do the needed good setting atmosphere for great gatherings indicates pure ignorance to spiritual understanding; and to watch others working for the common good and goodness that ensures that the environmental demands to a great meetings are in place, with everyone participating shows how shortsighted such a group are in the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the kingdom is given the measure of faith and grace to enable them participate in the kingdom affairs – and not having one’s hands involved to make good to be done collectively, and with the hearts of BELONGING – it’s already an indicator that such a person or group can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BECOMING in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“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.
I want you dear reader to know that the Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“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. 14 And the WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14/Emphasis Mine.
 
And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
 
“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.
 
It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.
 
“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.
 
And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.
 
“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.
 
I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.
 
Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God.
 
Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.
 
“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.
 
“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.
 
And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“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. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
 
“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.
 
“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 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” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!
 
“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).
 
To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.
 
In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.
Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.
 
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).
 
FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.
 
Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: IT’S By RESPONDING AND NOT BY REACTING!

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
 
You are RESPONSIBLE to what you BECOME by what you do with what had happened or is happening to you in life day by day. You can either allow your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus stead to be the stand you take, before you do anything, and in RESPONDING to matters as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, or you can go about and be REACTING – complaining, blaming, nagging and such like, thereby walking away from your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, that gives you the enabling to have leverage in an onward and upward trajectory over your challenges and difficulties irrespective of the source and cause.
 
KNOW FOR CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RESPONDING MUST BE BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND MORE – OTHERWISE YOU ARE REACTING AND GOD’S WORD BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR YOU IN THAT CONTEXT.
 
Sometimes, it may be true and/or a fact that somebody brought you down to the ditch or valley that you are going through right now – and may be to have use you for their own selfish gains or otherwise to hurt and harm your own progress – but you must know for sure, that you are always the one that’s RESPONSIBLE to rise above your circumstances, otherwise you will keep yourself in a REACTING and REACTION Mode and mood by MOANING and COMPLAINING and NAGGING and even hurting yourself for nothing – over and over – there and again – about the event with no scriptural progress instead standstill and regrets. And unfortunately, while at the same time of standstill and regrets, there’s there the lavished opportunity to be an overcomer, triumphant, victorious and a more than conqueror and such like, that’s embedded in your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION awaiting you there to turn the bad to good, to turn the mess to a message and to turn the test to testimony and to turn the failure to success.
 
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
 
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH , but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. For then YOU will make your way PROSPEROUS , and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8/NKJV.
 
You can make great DIFFERENCE in yourself, when you chose to RISE UP RESPONSIBLY above your circumstances in grace. RESPONDING to life matters by your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION instead of REACTING, is the lifeline to DEMONSTRATE and MAKE your DISTRACTOR wrong; also in BECOMING an ACHIEVER in and through the MIDST of any situation that brought or kept you low previously. I know what I am saying and I pray you get it rights too.
 
YOU CAN – RESPOND TO GROW FLOWERS OTHERWISE REACT TO GROW WEEDS – IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE AND CALL.
 
You may not be able to control your opponents ATTITUDES and the challenges and difficult circumstances about you, but you are RESPONSIBLE by your ATTITUDES that defines your ALTITUDE on how you can do life with your DOMINON rights and privileges in REDEMPTION; especially toward all the MATTERS confronting you without loosing a sleep or sweating but in essence achieving greatness with God, by His word, in your steadfast stand in Christ Jesus stead, in an effortless condition of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS toward your circumstances.
 
If you MUST live in DOMINION, I say again, if you MUST live through DOMINION in REDEMPTION, you must be prepared to RESPOND in grace rather than REACT to the circumstances that befalls you daily by the fleshly DEMANDS. Give no OXYGEN to the ENEMY and COHORTS and the circumstances demands. Your realm in REDEMPTION is a mystery to all and I hope and pray you know it for yourself without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION.
 
The state of RESPONDING to any level of MATTERS under the sun by your Dominon rights and privileges in REDEMPTION – makes you mature, wise and CALCULATING – just as an Eagle to the prey, and over the ENEMY and Cohorts – to ensure you take your circumstances unaware of your new you, in a grand style while SOARING IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION; while by REACTING, it makes you cheap, unwise and vulnerable to your circumstances, and to the enemy and cohorts or opponent’s intent to make you their PREY and their VICTIM, which is not good for you when you’ve OUGHT not to be.
 
Lets learn from our Lord Jesus grand STYLE WISDOM that brought the devil and cohorts down for our DOMINON IN REDEMPTION – as our Father God have offered us His graciousness and endowed and endued us lavishly with the Holy Spirit of promise in Christ Jesus – thereby enabling us to live and walk fully in life and godliness UNRESERVEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNCOMPROMISINGLY.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are PERFECT [MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY , even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE of the PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED [LAVISHED] out within our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN [ENDOWED, ENDUED] to us” Romans 5:5.
RESPONDING IS A MAJOR ACT TO WINNING WAYS IN LIFE – NOT BY REACTING TO PROVE A POINT. AND RESPONDING IS BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND NOTHING MORE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“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.
“Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9 knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more DOMINION over him. 10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14 For sin shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:8-14.
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the WORKS of thy hands; thou hast put all things UNDER his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas” Psalms 8:4-8.
“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. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.
“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
“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.
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the POWER of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. 11 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.
“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 (TRANSLATED) 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.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”: HAVE FAITH IN GOD – FOR IN HIM PEACE REIGN AND RULE!
 
“BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And THE PEACE OF GOD, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.
 
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING; tell God your needs, and don’t forget TO THANK HIM FOR HIS ANSWERS. 7 If you do this, you will EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS PEACE will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Living Bible (TLB).
 
“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And THE PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified).
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in                                                                                                                    his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:22-24.

BLESSED REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION: The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL of REDEMPTION!
 
The is the very simple reason to celebrate and commemorate the crucifixion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension and enthronment of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.
 
The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done as an act of faith and faithfulness towards God for the deliverance of Israelites (Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36), to MARK and ENACT the people of God’s deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised blessing.
 
PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).
 
That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.
 
Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture:
 
“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.
 
“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.
 
PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.
 
“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20.

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2025: THE MONTH OF “ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS!”

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE of them can by any means REDEEM His brother, nor GIVE to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption” Psalms 49:6-9.
 
Month APRIL 2025 is the month of the Celebration and Commemoration, of the essence of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus – in Crucifixion and Death, Burial and Resurrection, Ascension and Enthronement – for our wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, by God, as we do LIFE and LIVE GODLY in Him.
 
There’s the need to the possessing of our possession in REDEMPTION. This is by APPROPRIATING ENACTING our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which is already a DONE DEED. For we can’t be expecting to have a wishy-washy all in our by and by, on a baseless foundation outside our redemption in Christ Jesus [1 Corinthians 3:11 (10-17)]. For in Christ Jesus, we’ve been endowed and endued with all things that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS for our today and tomorrow. Therefore, take advantage of this Month theme and lay a foundation that’s laid on Christ Jesus who’s our redemption sent of God to redeemed us in His grace. Then you can be scripturally assured to ensure, of all things that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead as these scriptures highlights for illuminations.
 
“. . . 11 For other FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is . . .” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.
 
“He sent REDEMPTION unto His people: He hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name” Psalms 111:9.
 
“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED His people . . .” Luke 1:68-75.
“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”                                                       
“”. . . 2 GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as His DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him that hath CALLED US to GLORY and VIRTUE . . .” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
 
Therefore, to ensure and be assured of your enabling to ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS, as the hallmark of our foundation in the grace, we need to know and understand these basic principles though not limited to the possibility.
 
These principles are:
You can never POSSESS what you are UNWILLING to PURSUE and ENACT by faith in the GRACE in Redemption.
 
The KINGDOM will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to PLACE a DEMAND upon in REDEMPTION. Where there’s NO ACTS to DEMAND, there’s NO tangible POSSESSION, otherwise one is reduced to the common [general] possessions.
 
KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION rights and privileges gives you access to enact and enjoy your wholesome REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.
 
I PRAY you will see yourself in the tangibility and reality of the word in ENACTING OUR REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.

“Just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 7 Therefore know that only those who ARE of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by faith, PREACHED the GOSPEL to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.” 9 So then those who ARE of faith are BLESSED with believing Abraham . . . 13 Christ has REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you ARE all sons of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER slave nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female; for you ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you ARE Christ’s, then you ARE Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29/NKJV.
