THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S COMMUNICATED IN HOPE! 

“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. 

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s EFFECTUAL (effective and efficient) is the FAITH that COMMUNICATES in HOPE. 

Hence communicate your FAITH in HOPE. For HOPE takes away shame and reproach off one’s life, because of the LOVE of Christ that genuinely operate in our spirit by the Holy Spirit. 

And the PATIENCE of HOPE keeps FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, while LABOURING in LOVE to SERVE. 1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 10:35-36.

“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. 

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

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5. 

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE THE PROMISE . . .” Hebrews 10:35-39.

THE EFFICACIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB

THE EFFICACIOUS BLOOD OF THE LAMB: THE REASON FOR OUR TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE! 

“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 

Triumph is the perception and feeling of great happiness resulting from a victory or achievement. It also means the act and condition of being victorious. Being raised in a typical African traditional family and in an environment where the blood spill of animal sacrifice to appease the gods was dominance and a lifestyle until God’s salvation came to my family, I can boldly inform you how powerful the matter of the blood means to life; and how efficacious the blood of Christ Jesus now I know, is there to win victoriously and triumphantly overall odds of the enemy and cohorts. 

All sorts of covenants and contracts have to be endorsed by the blood, and life is in the blood indeed as found in the Holy Writ of – Leviticus 17:11, 14 

“FOR THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS IN THE BLOOD: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is THE BLOOD THAT MAKETH AN ATONEMENT FOR THE SOUL . . . 14 For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off”. 

This scripture signifies how vital and authentic the issue of triumph in the blood is to our daily life affairs today. In the same scenarios, you can also know the essence of the blood as written in Deuteronomy 12:22-24 

“Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so thou shalt eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike. 23 Only be sure that thou eat not the blood: FOR THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE; AND THOU MAYEST NOT EAT THE LIFE WITH THE FLESH. 24 Thou shalt not eat it; thou shalt POUR it upon the earth as water”. 

The blood is the divine arranged plan to completely smash and render powerless forever the strongholds of Satan and his cohorts against us. The efficacious blood of Christ Jesus our Lord and Saviour accomplished the deed for our FAITH, to guarantee us eternal victory and triumph. Amen. 

The Blood of Christ Jesus is EFFICACIOUS and answers to all MATTERS in life and godly living. For the blood of Jesus Christ have no ADAMIC elements in it, since conception wasn’t by Joseph to transmit it, hence His blood, produces effectual results, regardless of what the human concept of blood may be. The blood is not just a part of a ceremony to be observed as an ordinance religiously, as is often done in the act of Holy communion sacrament services, but a wonderful tool to have FAITH upon in order to live and exercise our redemption rights and privileges. That is the FAITH in the blood of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, by whom we are victorious and triumphant in every way in every place of doing life and living godly toward God and toward men in Christ Jesus. 

Therefore, let us now examine some scriptural context on the essence of the EFFICACIOUS BLOOD of Christ Jesus for our daily TRIUMPH in EVERY PLACE; and it’s as we ENACT to AUTHENTICATE this EFFICACIOUS and EFFECTUAL POWER of the BLOOD OF THE LAMB – Christ Jesus, who is our Saviour and Lord, that’s when our REDEMPTION in Him, makes the essence of our FAITH in Him. Amen.  

Herein are the efficacious essence of the BLOOD of Christ Jesus:

THE EFFICACIOUS AND EFFECTUAL – POWER IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB – JESUS CHRIST STILL SPEAKS TODAY AND ALWAYS IN EVERY PLACE OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY. AMEN. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood. For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you. Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission” Hebrews 9:11-22. 

 SUMMARY: 

The message is a powerful declaration of the efficacy of the blood of Christ Jesus, highlighting its significance in achieving triumph in every area of life. The author shares a personal testimony of growing up in an African traditional setting where animal sacrifices were common but now understands the superior power of Christ’s blood. 

Key points: 

  • The blood of Christ Jesus is efficacious and guarantees victory over the enemy and his cohorts. 
  • The blood represents deliverance, redemption, reconciliation, transcendence, purchasing power, emboldening, cleansing, atonement, and overcoming power. 
  • Christ’s blood is unique, having no Adamic elements, making it effectual for redemption. 
  • The Blood is not just a ceremony, but a tool for faith and victorious living. 
  • Scriptural references (Hebrews 9:11-22, Leviticus 17:11, 14, Deuteronomy 12:22-24, Colossians 1:12-14, Ephesians 1:7, etc.) support the message. 

The message encourages readers to enact and authenticate the power of the blood of Christ Jesus, leading to triumph in every place

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING 

By Leave a Comment

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING – [WISDOM] – IN YOUR PASSION: THAT’S THE PATH TO GRACIOUSNESS AND GRACEFULNESS! 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but not ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN righteousness, have NOT SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4. 

To have ZEAL, being zealous, otherwise called PASSION is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – it’s full of foolishness, frustration and equally erroneous too [Romans 10:1-4]. A mere zealous or zealousness or just being passionate can create mistaken atmosphere due to pure ignorance especially in context of matters except there’s knowledge in the passion of which Jesus rebuked the Sadducees of their erroneous and mistaken acts to the context of resurrection as an example. 

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [DO ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:29 [23-33]. 

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance, pride and rudeness. The place of knowledge cannot be taken lightly in every phase of doing life and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Knowledge emancipates and delivers from all forms of stupidity, ignorance, and foolishness.  

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1. 

But where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together, therein is the WISDOM to do life and much more. The WISDOM to be accomplished and fulfilled in life will always show up. Proverbs 4:5-7. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Get WISDOM, get UNDERSTANDING: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:5-7. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4. 

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine. 

“Good UNDERSTANDING wins FAVOR, but the WAY of the TRANSGRESSOR is hard [like the BARREN, DRY soil or the IMPASSABLE swamp]” Proverbs 13:15/AMP Classic Edition. 

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16. 

“A man who WANDERS from the WAY of UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) will REMAIN in the ASSEMBLY of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Proverbs 16:16; 4:5; James 1:5. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of combining zeal (passion) with knowledge and understanding to achieve wisdom, which is the principal thing. Having zeal without knowledge is dangerous and can lead to foolishness, frustration, and error, as seen in the example of the Sadducees (Matthew 22:23-33, Romans 10:1-4). 

Key points: 

  • Zeal and passion are good, but without knowledge, they’re incomplete and potentially destructive. 
  • Knowledge without understanding breeds arrogance and pride (1 Corinthians 8:1). 
  • When zeal, knowledge, and understanding come together, wisdom is the result, leading to a fulfilling life (Proverbs 4:5-7). 
  • Wisdom is the principal thing to seek and acquire (Proverbs 4:7). 
  • Good understanding gives favour and leads to a productive life (Proverbs 13:15). 

Scriptural references support the importance of seeking wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to live a godly life. The message encourages readers to earnestly desire wisdom in their passion and pursuits. 

Supporting scriptures: 

  • Proverbs 4:5-7 (get wisdom, get understanding) 
  • Romans 10:1-4 (zeal without knowledge is incomplete) 
  • Matthew 22:29 (Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for lacking knowledge) 
  • 1 Corinthians 8:1 (knowledge puffs up, but charity edifies) 
  • Proverbs 13:15 (good understanding gives favour) 

The message concludes that wisdom is key to a fulfilling life, and readers are encouraged to seek it in their passions and pursuits

THE GOOD, BETTER, AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD

By Leave a Comment

THE GOOD, BETTER, AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD: BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER WHATEVER! 

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18 

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – [whether it’s the loss of job, marital breakdown, relationship disruption, bereavement of loved one, infectious pandemic diseases and sicknesses, fatal accident, war, economic meltdown and such like] – for there is no different with God in WHATEVER. It thus means every challenge and difficult circumstance are certainly and surely TIMED to stop or come to an END point one day, irrespective of the days, weeks, months, and years of that WHATEVER – Proverbs 23:18.  

And life will always roll into a NEW action and motion again when an end has come for WHATEVER betides one. It’s how much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS you are making to forge ahead for yourself and all about you at the dawn day and dawn time when it comes – for therein is the very important thing to think and ponder through in the act of doing life and living godly by the grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. To have a pragmatic and an intentional mindset setting for an onward and upward trajectory, it’s so important if you intend to be the one in charge, control and in DOMINON to reign and rule in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead – [Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9]. 

There’s one scripture that I have known, that have kept me going, almost in every passing phase of challenging times in my life, in dealing with matters during and after WHATEVER in the path of the working of FAITH, the labour of love, and the patience of hope in Christ Jesus stead. The scripture is this: 

“. . . 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS . . .” Ecclesiastes 7:7-12. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; [3] remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4. 

More so, I know that having a SCRIPTURAL perception of life, is an attitude that makes one to perceive that their today is far better than yesterday, and that has helped and kept me going; and scriptural context in perception still helps me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything is in the new start up and not in the old. 

And the knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and steadfastness are NEW every morning – is an awesome plus on each passing day (Lamentations 3:23); and by this confidence and assurance in SCRIPTURAL context in perception, there’s no reason why one should not live in the present tense of God to define one’s life for today and tomorrow. Hence, I can say that your GOOD, BETTER and BEST DAYS have come and are coming out of the WHATEVER you are dealing with at the moment to advance in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. 

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation which is of the New Covenant and such like, is far more superior testimony as in the fulfilment to the Old Testament of the Old Covenant and such like injunctions of the old – it beholds me as it becomes imperative, that one keep away and withdraws from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days instead of dealing with the present. 

Regrets and living in the past will not elevate anyone, no matter the devotion to mourning, murmuring, and complaining about the past and its history – both in the bad or good terms. And dwelling in the past doesn’t indicate a good sign of being innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present in order to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired of you – especially for your today and your tomorrow. It’s time for a NEW you to SPRING up for the NEW dawn day that’s about to come forth from you after the WHATEVER; because your world should not be the same again and you need not be – A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN. 

I’m emboldened to inform you that the way you live and do life OUGHT to change whenever the WHATEVER is done away with in one’s life. And if you do not PREPARE and TRAIN yourself for the NEW you to emerge in order to EFFECTIVELY deal with the changes that will come up after your WHATEVER – you may live to regret learning nothing whenever the WHATEVER shutdown or locked down or standstill moment is done and dusted. It’s a wise decision for you to do life meaningfully and purposefully as a consequence of the preparation you’ve made for your emergence from the known and unknown WHATEVER you’ve been through. 

Just know that our ways of PRUDENCE – the utilising and managing of the resources – of TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (Physical/Mental Exertion), MATERIAL and PEOPLE, in order to earn a living may likely change in many ways after WHATEVER; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with, in the reality of change that may evolve. 

And I don’t want you whining, crying out loud – saying things like – THE FORMER DAYS ARE BETTER THAN THE PRESENT. This simply means you are not living in the NOW because the FORMER days have a grip on you, and you’ve forgotten that those days can’t define your current and present day.  

It’s time to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory match to the better and best of you in life and grace. Our God is the God of the now and tomorrow as He’s of yesterday; and He’s good and faithful to see us through life phase – making the good and the bad to work together for our good Romans 8:28. But you must give God something to work with, to ensure you are  through with your inward (insight) and outward (foresight) plan, purpose and pursuit. 

I PRAY YOU KNOW WELL TODAY AND ALWAYS THAT – THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD – THEREFORE, BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER THE WHATEVER. 

I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in the PRESENT TIME and in the TIME AHEAD that might evolve in every way in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8. BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9. Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS. 11. 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 7:7-12. 

“FOR SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” Proverbs 23:18. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28. 

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6. 

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE TO THE SAVING OF THE SOUL” Hebrews 10:35-39.  

SUMMARY: 

The message is an inspirational and motivational piece that encourages readers to look forward to a brighter future, despite current challenges. The main theme is that “THE GOOD, BETTER, AND BEST DAYS” are now and ahead, and one should be prepared to move forward, leaving past regrets and difficulties behind. 

Key points: 

  • The present and future hold better days, and one should focus on the new dawn ahead rather than dwelling on past difficulties (WHATEVER). (Ecclesiastes 7:8, Proverbs 23:18)  
  • Regrets, mourning, and complaining about the past won’t elevate anyone; instead, focus on being innovative, creative, and wise to make the most of the present. (Ecclesiastes 7:10, Romans 8:28) 
  • One’s ways of managing resources (time, finance, effort, material, and people) may change after WHATEVER, so be prepared to adapt. (Proverbs 21:31, Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9) 
  • Don’t whine about the past; focus on living in the NOW and moving forward. (Ecclesiastes 7:10, Philippians 3:13-14)  
  • God is faithful and will see you through life’s phases, making good and bad work together for your good (Romans 8:28, Lamentations 3:23). 
  • To move forward, give God something to work with by having a plan, purpose, and pursuit. (Proverbs 16:9, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4) 

Supporting scriptures: 

  • “Surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off” (Proverbs 23:18).

The message encourages readers to be creative, innovative, and ready for the new dawn ahead, focusing on the present and future rather than past difficulties.

“YOU CANNOT GET BY PRAYER WHAT YOU SHOULD GET BY CHARACTER AND OBEDIENCE”

By Leave a Comment

AUTHOR UNKNOWN: But A Great Piece Worth More Than Anything – Read And Be BLESSED! 

I don’t know who authored this fantastic piece; it’s powerful, full of knowledge, wisdom and educative. Please take time to read it over and over again . . . And it’s entitled: 

“YOU CANNOT GET BY PRAYER WHAT YOU SHOULD GET BY CHARACTER AND OBEDIENCE” 

A man’s character is his fate. Heraclitus Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (US), said: “Nothing can stop the man with the RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the WRONG MENTAL ATTITUDE.” 

As a clergyman, I have watched pitiably how people self-sabotage themselves by seeking spiritual solutions to character-deficit issues. They look around at everybody as suspects for their predicaments when their greatest demons lurk within them – their character. 

What we often call our destiny is truly our character, and since that character can change, then destiny can be altered. CHARACTER IS DESTINY. 

Is prayer actually EVERYTHING? Many would begin to argue back and forth on this intriguing question, but my main purpose of writing this piece is not to get involved in arguments. Arguments don’t improve the validity of a truth; they only determine how long it would take before you realise it. 

Most people believe that we can pray ourselves to success and get away with virtually anything if we become a stickler to some prayer routines. There is no amount of spiritual penance that can substitute for character. Sometimes, you need character, not prayer. 

Dutch Sheets said: “Prayer is not a check request asking for things from God; it is a deposit slip- a way of depositing God’s character into our bankrupt souls.” 

British writer and politician, Thomas Macaulay (1800-1859), said: “The measure of a man’s character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out.” I have often said that what would ultimately destroy a man going to high places in life is not really the enemies that are waiting for him there, but the character that followed him there. 

I want to emphatically underline the fact that this write-up is not meant to trivialise prayers in any way. I have observed that many people take character for granted, while overzealously tuning on into their spiritual mode. 

We have become so spiritually in tune through prayers that we neglect the place of character and our relationship with people. Many are actually HEAVENLY bound, but with no EARTHLY relevance. You can speak with spiritual eloquence, pray in public and maintain a holy appearance, but it is your BEHAVIOUR and CHARACTER that will actually trigger the manifestation of all that God has for you. 

You must learn to treat people with courtesy. 

The Shunammite woman must have been praying for a child all through her life. By being hospitable to a man of God, she eventually got her much-awaited miracle. It wasn’t prayer that opened the door for her; it was her character. Assuming she wasn’t hospitable, she would have missed a critical miracle. 

Many times, we pray, fast and bind demons that don’t exist when our real demons are just our greatly flawed character. Many have insulted people that were divinely placed and orchestrated to help them fulfil their destiny. Some people are keeping malice with their destiny helpers. 

Treat people with respect.  

Treat strangers with courtesy.  

Never look down on anybody. God can use anyone to change your story. 

Abigail Van Buren said: “The best index to a person’s character is how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and how he treats people who can’t fight back.” 

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him. The way we treat people we think can’t help or hurt us, like housekeepers, waiters, and secretaries, tells more about our character than how we treat people we think are important. ‘How do you treat people?’  

One of the most impressive architectural feats and the greatest military defence project in history is the Great Wall of China. In 1987, UNESCO designated the Great Wall a World Heritage site, and a popular controversial claim that emerged in the 20th century holds that it is the only man-made structure that is visible from space. 

Originally conceived by Emperor Qin Shi Huang (c. 259-210 B.C.) in the 3rd Century B.C. as a means of preventing incursions from Mongolians and barbarian nomads into the Chinese Empire, the wall is one of the most extensive construction projects ever completed. 

History has it that when the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the Great Wall of China; they thought no one could climb it due to its height. During the first 100 years of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice and every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall, because each time, they bribed the guards and came through the doors. 

The Chinese built the wall, but forgot the character – building of the wall-guards. Though the Great Wall has over the years become a powerful symbol of the country’s enduring strength and spirit, but it has actually been a good reminder to the Chinese of the superiority of human character. 

The Chinese realised much later that the best defence against the enemy is not a fortified wall, but a fortified character. Thus, the building of human character comes before building of anything else. 

Prayer is not EVERYTHING! Build relationships, and don’t ever forget that God will always use man. Be mindful of your words and how you speak to people. Work seriously on your character and attitude towards life. 

I want to say emphatically that character is not optional; it is sacrosanct to the future that God has planned for you. No matter where you place prayers, character matters. The greatest fraud in life is religion without character. A man without character is recklessly alive. 

William Shakespeare captured it succinctly when he said: “The fault is not in our stars, but in ourselves.” 

Peter Schutz, the former chief executive officer of Porsche said: “HIRE CHARACTER; TRAIN SKILLS.”  

Lastly, back in the days when Germany was divided, a huge wall separated East and West Berlin.  

One day, some people in East Berlin took a truck load of garbage and dumped it on the West Berlin side. 

The people of West Berlin could have done the same thing, but they didn’t.  

Instead, they took a truck load of canned goods, bread, milk and other provisions, and neatly stacked it on the East Berlin side. 

On top of this stack, they placed the sign: 

“EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS” 

How very true! You can only give what you have. 

What do you have inside of you? Is it: 

Hate or love?  

Violence or peace?  

Death or life? 

Capacity to build or capacity to destroy? 

What have you acquired over the years? 

Team spirit or pull-down architecture? 

“EACH GIVES WHAT HE HAS” 

Think about it!  

Please give out the good in you.  

JESUS LOVES YOU 

SUMMARY: 

The piece emphasises that character is more important than prayer or spiritual activities. It highlights how people’s character, not just their prayers, determines their destiny and success. The author shares examples, like the Shunammite woman who got a miracle through hospitality, and the Great Wall of China, where character-building was neglected, leading to breaches.  

Key points: 

  • Character is destiny; it’s more crucial than prayer or spiritual routines. 
  • Treat people with kindness, respect, and courtesy, regardless of their position.  
  • Our character triggers the manifestation of God’s plans for us.  
  • Prayer isn’t everything; character matters more.  
  • Focus on building character and relationships, not just spiritual activities. 
  • What you have inside (love, peace, etc.) is what you’ll give out. 

The message encourages self-reflection on one’s character and how it impacts life and relationships.

FAMILY WISDOM NUGGET

FAMILY WISDOM NUGGET – DO SPEAK GRACIOUSLY AND GRACEFULLY WELL AND WHOLE TO YOUR FAMILY

“And all bare HIM (JESUS) 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 (Emphasis Mine). 

Life is surely a beautiful and lovely creation of God for all to enjoy the essence and worth; and the knowing that this life is short and timed for mortals, makes it an essence and worth the reason why none should be mean and obscure to each other about it. Life is like a mist that appears in the morning, soonest it’s gone as the sun sets.  

“. . . 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? It is even a VAPOUR, that APPEARETH for a little time, and then VANISHETH away . . .” James 4:13-17. 

Therefore, speak forth always – graciously and gracefully toward yourself and others, especially immediate family members – it makes the essence of living well and whole; it’s all about living free in grace, lively and lovely. Living graciously and gracefully is about SOWING living words of life into situations and circumstances. This is not about being “POSITIVE” speaking or thinking; it’s about using SCRIPTURAL INSTRUCTIONS to define your life in WORDS and DEEDS, in the midst of a hateful and evil world, by what God has done in us through Christ Jesus, to deliver us for now and always deliver us in this present evil world. Amen! 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for OUR SINS, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

Make today someone else in the family’s good and special day by speaking wellness and wholeness to them and their circumstances, even in the midst of an unwarranted climate and atmosphere of wickedness and earnest urge to revenge. 

Make today their God -Day of grace, mercy, and love because it’s God’s Day for you and them to rejoice and be glad in it. For what you make happen for others’ good, God will surely make happen for you and all in the family as you make His WORD possible in practice. 

If you do not have any gracious, graceful, and awesome words to speak to someone and their circumstances, it’s best to zip your lips up rather than being NEGATIVE, MEAN, and OBSCURE in words on the day that the Lord God has MADE for the good of ALL. 

It’s a day and time to SPEAK WELL and WHOLE to your SPOUSE, CHILDREN, PARENTS and HOUSEHOLD; as it’s often said and widely known that CHARITY begins at home (family). You can extend this gesture to your neighbours, employees, employers, colleagues, in-laws, friends, and even to the hungry and thirsty enemies. Do you mean ENEMIES also? YES. It’s all about PLEASING God in His word as may be expected and demands of you, in order to become His complete and wholesome child. Speak WELL and WHOLE to them for your own good in Christ Jesus, as the scriptures enjoin. 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6. 

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23. 

“For IN Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 NKJV. 

Never stop speaking graciously and gracefully to yourself and others – it’s a LIFE MEDICINE TO HEALTHY LIVING. It’s time to make your lips create a loveable, likeable, and liveable atmosphere that you would love to see and enjoy with others. Create a magnetic field of graciousness and gracefulness with the WORD about your WORLDS of doing life and living godly. 

ENJOY YOUR DAY IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“LET LOVE BE WITHOUT DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another . . .17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live PEACEABLY with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 THEREFORE IF THINE ENEMY HUNGER, FEED HIM; IF HE THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be NOT OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:9-21 Emphasis Mine. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS (BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, IRKSOME). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5 (Emphasis Mine).

MAKE YOUR DAY COUNT AND ACCOUNT FOR YOUR GOOD

MAKE YOUR DAY COUNT AND ACCOUNT FOR YOUR GOOD: LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW – IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING! 

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

It’s high time to FEEL NO EVIL thing about yourself in doing life and living godly. Walk in wisdom by discerning day –to- day matters, in order to make the rightful judgement per God’s given 24/7 under the sun. The consciousness of God’s goodness about you should outweighs the feelings or thoughts of evil and wickedness. For as a man thinks, so he’s, in speaking and dealing with life affairs. 

“For as he THINKS in his HEART, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his HEART is not with you [but is grudging the cost]” Proverbs 23:7/AMP Classic Edition. 

“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 6:45 [Matthew 12:33-35]. 

Therefore, it’s time for you to ACKNOWLEDGE and THINK of the GOOD in and about you in Christ Jesus – and to make your DAY COUNT and ACCOUNT for your GOOD – for you are the CUSTODIAN of your day and daily happiness in LIFE And GRACE. Your redemption can only be actualised in grace when you live intentionally to acknowledge the good God has done in you, He’s doing in you, and He will do through you in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. No giving attention or oxygen to what the devil and cohorts are doing.  

“That the COMMUNICATION (DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY) of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED) by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING WHICH IS IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis Mine). 

You can make your day happen for your good. You can satisfy your day with goodness, graciousness, and gracefulness. It’s time to make your day count and account for you. Rule your day with characteristics like VIRTUE, PRAISE, GOODNESS, HEALTHY THOUGHTS and HEALTHY SIGHTSEEING and such like. Give your being to healthy thoughts and meditation in Christ Jesus. 

“. . . Whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK (PONDER, MEDITATE) on these things” Philippians 4:8. 

Think of living the BEST LIFE ever each day. And live your BEST LIFE NOW. Think the GOOD of God’s BEST in you. LIVE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT DAILY. Your best Life in the now is about you enacting and authenticating the good things God has done IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen. Philemon 1:6.

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER 

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER: THE RISEN POWER ENABLES YOU TO CREATE YOUR DESIRED WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – AMEN! 

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11/Emphasis Mine. 

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him. 

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday comes and goes, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUMMARY was to end these three basic human failures in God at Adam in Eden – which is the consequence [effect] of SIN – the Sinful NATURE: 

“For He hath made Him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:21. 

  • Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN). 
  • Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN). 
  • Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN). 

These aforementioned are the effects, results, and consequences of humanity’s depraved state resulting from SIN – the SINFUL NATURE; and the SINFUL NATURE is due to the fall in Eden, resulting the placement of Adamic curses – CURSED OF THE FALL [Genesis 3:1-24] which leads to the CURSE OF THE LAW [Deuteronomy 28:15-68]. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of SPIRITUAL DEATH brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE). 

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in every way of DOING LIFE [Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14]. 

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –  

  • that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10]. 
  • You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3]. 
  • There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20]. 
  • There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10]. 

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rose from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualise it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you. 

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations [Romans 5:12-21]. May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2. 

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine). 

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 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” John 1:11-12. 

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21. 

“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 (Emphasis Mine). 

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Genesis 3:1-21; Deuteronomy 28:15-68  

SUMMARY: 

The message is about the power of redemption in Christ Jesus. It’s saying that through Jesus’ death and resurrection, we’ve been redeemed from the curse of the law, sin, and its consequences: spiritual death, poverty, sickness, and disease. 

The three main areas redemption addresses: 

  1. Spiritual Death: Separation from God due to sin (Adam’s treason). 
  2. Poverty: Impoverishment resulting from spiritual death. 
  3. Sickness and Disease: Physical consequences of spiritual death. 

The solution: 

  • Jesus took our place, becoming sin for us so we could be made righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21). 
  • The risen power of Jesus enables us to create our desired worlds in Christ. 
  • The Holy Spirit dwelling in us quickens (gives life to) our mortal bodies (Romans 8:11). 

The outcome: 

  • No more condemnation (Romans 8:1-2). 
  • We can live and reign in life through Christ’s power. 
  • We’re empowered to create wealth, end poverty, and live in health (Deuteronomy 8:18, 3 John 2). 

The key: 

  • Receive Christ and believe in His accomplished work. 
  • Let the Spirit that raised Jesus’ dwell in you, quickening your mortal body. 

In essence: 
Redemption is not just forgiveness; it’s power to live above human limitations. We’ve been made alive in Christ, and we can reign in life. 

Scriptural highlights: 

  • Romans 8:11: The Spirit gives life to our mortal bodies. 
  • 2 Corinthians 5:21: Jesus became sin for our righteousness. 
  • Romans 5:12-21: Grace abounds more than sin. 
  • Deuteronomy 8:18: God gives power to create wealth. 
  • 3 John 2: Prosper and be in health.

HEALING AND HEALTH – THE REDEEMED BREAD

HEALING AND HEALTH – THE REDEEMED BREAD: MADE POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION! 

“. . . 26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the CHILDREN’S BREAD, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, GREAT IS THY FAITH: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. AND HER DAUGHTER WAS MADE WHOLE from that very hour” Matthew 15:21-28. 

You can Invoke – ENACT and AUTHENTICATE – now and always 24/7, your REDEMPTION – Deed of Rights and privileges – as touching HEALING And HEALTH as the scriptures do enjoin. 

Your JUSTIFICATION by the act of FAITH in Christ Jesus, guaranteed your ACCESS into this GRACE wherein you can STAND emboldened, to your rights and privileges as touching healing and health in redemption. Romans 5:1-2 

Besides Christ Jesus, you need no middle person to play godfather or godmother to your ACCESS and STAND in this GRACE – wherein God has QUALIFIED and CERTIFIED you in His redemption deed that endorsed your rights and privileges in HEALING and HEALTH in Christ Jesus. Colossians 1:12 NKJV; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5. 

I pray you Enjoy your healing and health BLESSEDNESS – in life and godly living – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS

By Leave a Comment

REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS: THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT – HE’S YOUR REALITY FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW! 

“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 [Holy Spirit] through faith” Galatians 3:13-14 

Now that you are REDEEMED of God and lavished with the precious Holy Spirit of PROMISE in His BLESSEDNESS in the grace, it’s time you don’t only believe but by faith resolve to act accordingly, as He’s here for all and it’s irrespective; and He’s lavishly and abundantly given to us without prejudice, sentiments, and dissimulation. 

“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. 

It’s time to get DRUNK with the Holy Spirit for you to sing out your own Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, and speak forth gracious wholesome [total] words, and sound coherent words, and making melodies to the Lord. For those who were REDEEMED sang a NEW sung and expressed it boldly in the grace instead of their old sung as when in their Sin and bondages of the enemy [Satan] and cohorts. And Jesus spoke gracious words and sang in Hymns and spiritual songs as our living example in humanity, and not the song of the depraved world that leads to defeats, sorrows and pains amid life challenges. 

“DO NOT GET DRUNK WITH WINE, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in PSALMS and HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS, [offering praise by] singing and MAKING MELODY with your heart to the Lord; 20 always GIVING THANKS to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being SUBJECT to one another out of REVERENCE for Christ” Ephesians 5:18-21/Amplified. 

“And they SANG A NEW SONG, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have REDEEMED us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“So all bore witness to Him [Jesus], and marveled at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22. 

“And when they had SUNG A HYMN, they went out to the Mount of Olives” Matthew 26:40 [Mark 14:26]. 

You can’t afford to know you are now REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus in the grace and still remain in your old ways, in your unregenerate old songs, old beliefs, and such like, of living without God in this world; especially in the midst of our redemption possibilities as being made available, our reality and being assured by the Holy Spirit of promise. You’ve got no one to blame if you continue in your old song in the path of darkness, while the Holy Spirit of grace, who is now lavishly GIVEN to us, is there to ensure the assured redemption in the grace is readily available for you and all in love. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5. 

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of TRUTH, whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it neither SEES Him nor KNOWS Him; but you KNOW Him, for He DWELLS WITH you and will be IN you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you” John 14:15-18. 

“So I say to you, ASK, and it will be given to you; SEEK, and you will find; KNOCK, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to those who ASK Him!” Luke 11:9-13 [John 7:7; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8]. 

The Apostle, on the Pentecost day of RECEIVING the Holy Spirit of promised, were considered to be DRUNK of a NEW WINE by passerby and observers of that day; for their experience of RECEIVING Him as promised made them be seen or nicknamed a drunk people of a special NEW WINE. In the passerby’s eyes, they were highly intoxicated people with a kind of WINE that’s not common, in that it was making sense for goodness and the good and healthy living, and not the HYPE TYPE that keeps one as an idiotic person to be staggering on the roads, speaking jargons and incoherent statements ,and falling apart in gutters, and requiring a rescue and at an extreme cases a rehabilitation for normalcy to be restored for the individual, family, community and society’s good and goodness. 

“When the DAY OF PENTECOST had 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 the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit and began to SPEAK WITH OTHER TONGUES, AS THE SPIRIT GAVE THEM UTTERANCE. 5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them SPEAK in his own language. 7 Then they were all AMAZED and MARVELED, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 And how is it that we hear, each in our own language in which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretans and Arabs—we hear them SPEAKING in our own TONGUES THE WONDERFUL WORKS of God.” 12 So they were all AMAZED and PERPLEXED, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?” 13 Others mocking said, “THEY ARE FULL OF NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-13. 

I’m not here teaching you or telling you about wine or no wine, lest we go out of context. I’m endeavouring to inform you about the person of the Holy Spirit and His works in a Believer’s life in the grace. And the need to receive Him as the promised blessedness in our redemption in Christ Jesus, and the necessity to know about Him before you fall into adulteration, falsehoods, distortion and religious made-up inclinations of men who tend to become intermediaries because of your own ignorance and lack of knowledge of Him in the grace. For the then passerby observers attributed to the Apostles as being drunk of Him – the NEW WINE, and they were the first early recipients of Him, the Holy Spirit of promise. And here are a few Scriptural contexts to take away, but not limited to, on what it means to be DRUNK in the world, besides the Holy Spirit in essence. 

“Wine is a MOCKER, STRONG drink a RIOTOUS BRAWLER; And whoever is INTOXICATED by it is not wise” Proverbs 20:1/Amplified. 

“Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way [of the Lord]. 20 Do not ASSOCIATE WITH HEAVY DRINKERS of wine, Or with GLUTTONOUS eaters of meat, 21 For the HEAVY DRINKER and the glutton will come to poverty, And the DROWSINESS [of OVERINDULGENCE] will clothe one with rags . . . 29 Who has WOE? Who has SORROW? Who has STRIFE? Who has COMPLAINING? Who has WOUNDS without cause? Whose EYES are red and dim? 30 Those who LINGER LONG over wine, Those who go to TASTE MIXED wine. 31 Do not look at wine when it is RED, When it SPARKLES in the glass, When it goes down smoothly. 32. At the last it BITES like a SERPENT And STINGS like a VIPER. 33 Your [drunken] eyes will SEE strange things And your MIND will UTTER PERVERSE things [UNTRUE things, TWISTED things]. 34 And you will be [as UNSTEADY] as one who lies down in the middle of the sea, And [as VULNERABLE to disaster] as one who lies down on the TOP of a ship’s mast, saying, 35 “They STRUCK me, but I was not HURT! They BEAT me, but I did not FEEL it! When will I wake up? I will seek more wine” Proverbs 23:19-21, 29-35. 

The promised HOLY SPIRIT, He’s our reality, to enjoy the fulness of all about our REDEMPTION in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus in this grace, generation, and dispensation. I urge you to take advantage of today’s knowledge and synchronise your faith to receive Him today and now, instead of chasing shadows and become a prey and victim because of your ignorance in knowing and understanding the truth that sets free in the grace. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“My PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will REJECT you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6. 

“Therefore MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore SHEOL has ENLARGED itself And OPENED ITS MOUTH BEYOND MEASURE; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29. 

“But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER (COMFORTER, ADVOCATE, INTERCESSOR—COUNSELOR, STRENGTHENER, STANDBY) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him (the Holy Spirit) to you [to be in close fellowship with you]. 8 And He, when He comes, will convict the world about [the guilt of] sin [and the need for a Savior], and about righteousness, and about judgment: 9 about sin [and the true nature of it], because they do not believe in Me [and My message]; 10 about righteousness [personal integrity and godly character], because I am going to My Father and you will no longer see Me; 11 about judgment [the certainty of it], because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged and condemned. 12 “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear [to hear] them now. 13 But when He, the Spirit of Truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth [full and complete truth]. For He will not speak on His own initiative, but He will speak whatever He hears [from the Father—the message regarding the Son], and He will disclose to you what is to come [in the future]. 14 He will glorify and honor Me, because He (the Holy Spirit) will take from what is Mine and will disclose it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Because of this I said that He [the Spirit] will take from what is Mine and will reveal it to you” John 16:7-15. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of receiving the Holy Spirit, who is the promised blessedness in our redemption in Christ Jesus. It encourages believers to take advantage of today’s knowledge and synchronise their faith to receive Him, instead of chasing shadows and becoming prey to ignorance. 

Key points: 

  • The Holy Spirit is our reality, enabling us to enjoy the fullness of redemption in God’s blessedness 
  • Believers are urged to receive the Holy Spirit, who is lavishly and abundantly given without prejudice or dissimulation 
  • Receiving the Holy Spirit enables believers to sing a new song, speak gracious words, and make melodies to the Lord  
  • The Holy Spirit is not like the world’s wine, which leads to wickedness, corruption, and stupidity 
  • Instead, the Holy Spirit empowers believers to live a life of righteousness, peace, and joy 
  • The message warns against rejecting knowledge and ignoring the truth, which can lead to destruction and captivity 
  • Believers are encouraged to ask, seek, and knock to receive the Holy Spirit, who will guide them into all truth and glorify Jesus 

The message is filled with scriptural references, including Galatians 3:13-14, Romans 5:5, Ephesians 5:18-21, Revelation 5:9-10, and John 16:7-15, emphasising the importance of receiving the Holy Spirit and living a life empowered by Him. 

The message concludes by urging believers to receive the Holy Spirit and experience the assured reality of redemption in Christ Jesus.
