OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED – BY LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.
 
Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.
 
Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).
Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.
 
DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:
 
1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.
 
2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).
 
3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.
Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).
 
Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.
 
IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.
 
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.
 
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:1-5.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!
 
No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to it. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.
 
Leadership MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time and materials are involved. A clear cutting-edge vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involve.
 
The Eagles are known to be visionary, because of its highly sighted eyes. Foresight and insight is the great attributes that characterised this awesome creation of God. Hence it can take on it’s prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style.
 
Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like collapses. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ENSURE the atmosphere you want to enjoy as VISIONED and VISUALISED.
 
So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning endeavour to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT.
 
REMEMBER – READ BEFORE YOU RUN
 
IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.
 
“I will STAND upon MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.
 
“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES

By Leave a Comment

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!

“For ye WERE sometimes darkness, but now ARE ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the SPIRIT is in all GOODNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS and truth;) 10 PROVING what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

Until one begins to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and it’s REALITIES of the Spirit can’t be ACTUALISED in the FULLNESS of God’s given grace wherein we stand in the Faith that JUSTIFIES us and give us ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and more within you, if you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience and more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit and not just the TALK.

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

So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week into another month to another month into the years as the Lord God tarries, it’s time not to hold back but to TRANSLATE your God given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us into the image of Christ Jesus stead.

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the SAME IMAGE from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.

Enjoy your day folks, because ‘A NEW DAY IS DAWN’ for a NEW YOU and for your BEST life, for a GREATER you in the greater God. Therefore, go do the LIVING and the WALKING, and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it only.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou mayest KNOW how thou OUGHTEST to BEHAVE (CONDUCT) thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.

“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,  23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.  24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 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 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).

“Finally, brethren, 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 on these things” Philippians 4:8.

ENSURING THE PROFITABLE LIVING IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING THE PROFITABLE LIVING IN THE FAITH: LIMITED BY AN UNBELIEF!

“BLESSED be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION. Selah” Psalms 68:19.

Our God of the heavens and the earth, have ensured in His assured redemption in Christ Jesus, that all who comes to know and accept Him as the only true God and in Christ Jesus by FAITH, through the effectual working of the Holy Spirit of conviction and conversion, are to be beneficiaries of His BLESSEDNESS [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:2; John 3:16]. And to ensure His word, we are enjoined to know in the Holy writ of Psalms 68:19, that God in His BLESSEDNESS wants us to have LOADS of the BENEFITS of being His people in Christ Jesus as the chosen generation [1 Peter 2:9-10]. And He ensures that we are LOADED DAILY with His BENEFITS (PROFITS) in the BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as enjoined the Holy writ of Psalms 68:19 above.

And having a BEFITTING LIFE, means having a PROFITABLE LIVING; and it’s in God’s good-hearted thoughts, plans and intentions for His children. And He wants to give ALL His children a hope and a future in His set default in redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus – and this rights and privileges in redemption, have been rightly set in place from the beginning of time as a default. And it’s of our CHOICE to ensure that our God’s intent for us to have a PROFITABLE LIVING as we SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP in WORTHILY in spirit and in truth comes to reality.

“A GLORIOUS THRONE, set on HIGH from the BEGINNING, is the PLACE of our sanctuary (the temple)” Jeremiah 17:12/AMP.

“For I know the THOUGHTS and PLANS that I have for you, says the Lord, THOUGHTS and PLANS for WELFARE and PEACE and NOT FOR EVIL, to give you HOPE in your FINAL OUTCOME” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP [Classic Edition]

Having now known that, to BENEFIT is to PROFIT in any endeavour of exercise, especially in the fulness of God’s given grace, upon which we stand justified by faith and have access by faith, toward God and faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – what manner of person ought we to be in order to have the promised PROFITABLE LIVING [BENEFITING LIFE] to become a daily reality as we do life and live godly.

Now you’ve known God’s gracious intent and plans and thoughts towards you, you need to know that the major predicament, danger, limitation or hindrance that will prohibits and take us off from having the daily ASSURED PROFITABLE LIVING is UNBELIEF. Unbelief is a spiritual cancerous disease that’s unbounding in affecting the reason why many are not actualising the fulness of God’s promised BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

The effects and results of UNBELIEF it’s that it takes one to unscriptural places while others do find themselves in places, they ought not to be in seeking for answers. Some ends up in sorcery, divining, witchcraft, magic and such like places eventually as in [Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Acts 19:13-20]; and while some overtime find themselves in the hands of falsehoods ministers as ‘Simon of Samaria’ and many others who appears as angels of light and ministers of God but are ravening wolves in sheep clothing’s and Satan cohorts agents that infiltrating into the Church [Acts 8:9-25 (1-25); 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

UNBELIEF has robbed many of their BLESSEDNESS in redemption. And God abhors those who have UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING toward His word – written or spoken or by any format factor in context, to meet their respective needs of Him. UNBELIEF hinders FAITH operation in every endeavour that one intends to embark upon in the name of God. For without FAITH, it’s impossible to please God [Hebrews 11:6]. And it’s impossible to OVERCOME the world system of doing life that contravenes the default of God and that’s set in operation to give one the assured profitable living according to the scripture [1 John 5:4-5]. For all things is possible with God and to them that believe only.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27].

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

UNBELIEF creates fears; and fear phobia’s torments, subverts and keeps one from actualising the enabling gracious gifts and power of God [2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 1:68-75]; the spirit of fear is not only that it leads to bondages, but it’s a bondage and it captivates the human spirit, making life a challenging and difficult atmosphere to ensure that the assured PROFITABLE LIVING becomes a reality.

“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou STIR UP THE GIFT of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath NOT GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR [TIMIDITY, COWARDICE]; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but perfect love CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . .  74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of THE HAND of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

And with the grip of fear, it makes the redeemed intending to serve God question God’s word and doubt Him through UNBELIEF. Hence, UNBELIEF is not of God; God detest UNBELIEF; and Jesus emphasised it severally, over and over in His humanity, that UNBELIEF will rob one of the BLESSEDNESS in Him, in redemption, and hinders the Father God’s intent – which is to LOAD US DAILY, with the benefitting life [profitable living] as ASSUREDLY promised.

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, WHY COULD NOT WE CAST HIM OUT? 20 And Jesus said unto them, BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” Matthew 17:19-20 [Matthew 13:57-58].

“And he could there DO NO MIGHTY WORK, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And He MARVELLED because of their UNBELIEF. And he went round about the villages, teaching” Mark 6:5-6 [Mark 16:14-15].

And in the context of the Believers of God in Christ Jesus, PROFITABLE LIVING it’s all about experiencing the BENEFITS as a beneficiary – having a BENEFITTING LIFE [PROFITABLE LIVING] in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. There’s an assured profitable living in the FAITH wherein God had set us free in Christ Jesus. And Father God in our redemption in Christ Jesus, wants us to profit, that’s to benefit in the fulness of His grace for us. Unbelief is the act of not mixing the word of God with FAITH to PLEASE God and the ABSENCE of God in one’s life – for only by FAITH that one can bring about their earnest desires into fruition through God’s word in Christ Jesus. For the children of ISRAELITES did not PROFIT to enter their promised BLESSEDNESS, simply because of UNBELIEF [a rejection and an absence of God]. They arrogantly did not mix the preached word they heard with faith, and it costs them deadly at the end.

“For unto us was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as unto them: but THE WORD PREACHED DID NOT PROFIT THEM, not being MIXED with FAITH in them that heard it” Hebrews 4:2.

“For indeed we have had the GLAD TIDINGS [GOSPEL OF GOD] PROCLAIMED to us just as truly as they [the ISRAELITES of old did when the GOOD NEWS of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the MESSAGE they heard DID NOT BENEFIT them, because it was NOT MIXED WITH FAITH (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe)” Hebrews 4:2/AMP [Classic Edition].

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the DECEITFULNESS of sin . . . 18 And to whom SWARE He that they should NOT ENTER INTO HIS REST, BUT TO THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of UNBELIEF” Hebrews 3:12-13, 28-19.

Many will God to hell on eternal damnation for their UNBELIEF. For simply on them not believing that God’s love for them in His Son Jesus Christ, and for the UNBELIEF cause in totality in the rejection of the redemption essence and for the UNBELIEF cause in undermining the complete and wholesome actualisation of the PROFITABLE LIVING, as enjoined in the scriptures for their well-being.

“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 [at the same time] Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and confidently, saying, “It was necessary that God’s message [of salvation through faith in Christ] be spoken to you [Jews] first. Since you REPUDIATE it and JUDGE yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we turn to the Gentiles . . . 48 When the Gentiles HEARD this, they began rejoicing and glorifying [praising and giving thanks for] the word of the Lord; and all those who had been appointed (designated, ordained) to eternal life [by God] BELIEVED [in Jesus as the Christ and their Savior]” Acts 13:46, 48/AMP.

“. . . 9 For in Him [Christ Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM [CHRIST JESUS], which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:8-15.

The Bible, which is God-breathed WORD, it’s God’s instructions, counsel, correction, restoration, training and such like, for our PROFITABLE LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s as we LIVE through the SCRIPTURES in faith on the WORD of grace, we can share in the promised BLESSEDNESS, as many others before us, in our PROFITABLE LIVING inheritance in Him.

“All SCRIPTURE is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is PROFITABLE for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work” 2 Timothy 3:16-17/Amplified [AMP].

“For WHATEVER was WRITTEN in earlier TIMES was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the SCRIPTURES we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES” Romans 15:4/Amplified [AMP].

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among ALL them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

Therefore, I do hope that you can now be intentional and pragmatical today, to be resolved within you, to start living by FAITH and BELIEVING God and His WORD, instead of living in UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING that robs you of the best of God, as you choose to step up in an onward and upward trajectory, as do life and live godly, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed read.

“For indeed we have had the GLAD TIDINGS [GOSPEL of God] PROCLAIMED to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the GOOD NEWS OF DELIVERANCE from bondage came to them]; but the MESSAGE they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not MIXED with FAITH (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they UNITED in FAITH with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe)” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [CLASSIC EDITION].

SCRIPTURAL PONDERING – THE EAGLE WAY: DEALING WITH AN ENEMY!

“For though we WALK in the FLESH, we do not WAR after the FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the PULLING down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself AGAINST the KNOWLEDGE of God, and BRINGING into CAPTIVITY every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a READINESS to revenge all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is fulfilled” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

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

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 HE GIVETH POWER TO THE FAINT; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 EVEN THE YOUTHS SHALL FAINT AND BE WEARY, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:28-31.

“For which cause we FAINT not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day” 2 Corinthians 4:16.

“THEY GO FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God” Psalms 84:7.

“The RIGHTEOUS also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be STRONGER AND STRONGER” Job 17:9.

“I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:13.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the WHOLE armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to stand AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to STAND. 14 STAND therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your FEET shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and the SWORD of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 and for me, that UTTERANCE may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

God will only answer to a PURPOSEFUL demand – His answering ensures His POWER and GRACE to enable one to FUNCTION and to BECOME – in Christ Jesus stead.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH (RIGHT TO THE GRACE TO BECOME) unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should BE with him, and that he might SEND (MISSION) them forth to PREACH (PURPOSE), 15 and to have POWER (ENABLING TO FUNCTION) to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE – ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channelled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavour to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life, and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

“For unto us a CHILD IS BORN, unto us a SON IS GIVEN (MADE): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace . . .” Isaiah 9:6-7/Emphasis Mine [Read Galatians 4:1-7].

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating it’s kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a believe that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavour of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of one’s kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore, the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to one’s plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavour of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time for Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, LOVEST thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:15-17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The LAMBS are for thy CLOTHING, and the GOATS are the PRICE OF THE FIELD. 27 And thou shalt have GOATS’ MILK enough for thy FOOD, for the FOOD of thy HOUSEHOLD, and for the MAINTENANCE for thy MAIDENS” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he LED him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 AS AN EAGLE STIRRETH UP HER NEST, FLUTTERETH OVER HER YOUNG, SPREADETH ABROAD HER WINGS, TAKETH THEM, BEARETH THEM ON HER WINGS: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He MADE him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14.

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYINGS

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYINGS: YOUR DEFINITION IS IN IT!

Speak LORD – was all that the young Samuel requested of the Lord in 1 Samuel 3:1-21, to make the DIFFERENCE in his life that two books were needed to write the acts and autobiography of him, in dealing with the LORD GOD, in doing life and living godly.

The Audio wave, Visual wave, Voice wave, Internet connections and such like more of the communication channels of the multimedia surrounds us all, but only those that TUNED in or CONNECT get substance from those multimedia formats and not those that mere wishes, doing nothing. It is in the DOING and not in the MERE DREAMING and WISHING.

“But be ye DOERS of the WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER of the word, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he BEHOLDETH himself, and goeth his way, and straightway FORGETTETH what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso LOOKETH into the perfect law of liberty, and CONTINUETH therein, he being not a FORGETFUL hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his deed” James 1:22-25.

In the same scenario, if you don’t INCLINE your HEARING ears to let the LORD God speak to you His WORD by the Holy Spirit, you can’t BECOME of Him nor enter your life Fullness no matter how much time you spend in sleeping in the Church.

It’s a high time to make room to hear Him speak to you by MINISTERING to Him personally. This will end the stagnant state of things about you. The Heaven’s will APROVE you beyond men APPLAUD. You will then glow in grace and wholeness until the fullness of your day is come. And God will be ordering your step and path to places of graciousness and gracefulness with speed.

THE PATH OF THE JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST IS TO INCLINE THEIR HEARING EARS TO GOD’S SAYINGS.
