SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY THE HEATHEN THROUGH FAITH, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith . . . 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:11, 24.

“Knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:16.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the DEEDS of the law” Romans 3:28.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY (SET APART) you through and through [that is, SEPARATE you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—SET APART for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Amplified).

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2024: THE MONTH OF ENACTING – “THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!”

“Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the Law and its CONDEMNATION by BECOMING a CURSE for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all RECEIVE [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP Classic Edition.

The MONTH JUNE, is the sixth [6] month and the end month of the first half of the calendar year, in the Gregorian and Julian calendar Month; and it’s the 2nd of the 4th in number, of the months of thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar.

And as in Month JUNE, the name JUNE, is also a lovely given name to the female gender of the sexes which is of great significance. For the Month JUNE as in the name JUNE, expresses in essence, the FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicate how that God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all of our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. (Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18].

The BLESSED life in Christ Jesus is about GOD’S BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. And ENACTING the BLESSED life, is about ensuring, living and acting out in the fulness, the blessedness of God’s purpose in our life meaningfully and unreservedly.

And ensuring to live the assured BLESSED life  and BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, indicates in living in God’s EMPOWERING realm of fulfilling His purpose in your life [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. For the BLESSED life of God doesn’t operates in emptiness or vain imagination or in human strength, power and might [Zach 4:6; 1 Samuel 2:9; 2 Corinthians 3:1-6]; it thus operates and authenticate by God’s EMPOWERING us, which is by the Holy Spirit that EMPOWERS us, SEAL us, ANOINTS us, GUARANTEES us and DWELLS within us as GIVEN of God the Father to us as by the redemption default in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:59, Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22].

For to be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to be EMPOWERED of God by the Holy Spirit to succeed, to achieve and to become; and more so, to be fulfilled productively, efficiently and effectively [effectually] in the ASSURED WORD of God.

The BLESSEDNESS of God in character [Galatians 5:22-23] and charisma [1 Corinthians 12:7-11] and in ministerial [1 Corinthians 12:28-31; Ephesians 4:7-16; Romans 12:3-8] are all being empowered, synergised and manifested by the Holy Spirit of God. It thus means as I will be laying out through this Month that God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Creation Testament is only made a REALITY in us, as we do life and live godly, by the Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Welcome to Month June. It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you are able to enact THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, by the Holy Spirit of promise that makes all things possible by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in JERUSALEM, and in all JUDÆA, and in SAMARIA, and unto the UTTERMOST part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

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

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has appropriated us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/AMP.

“Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. 7 So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness of God] who are [the true] sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news [of the Savior] to Abraham in advance [with this promise], saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then those who are people of faith [whether Jew or Gentile] are blessed and favored by God [and declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with Him] along with Abraham, the believer . . . 13 Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. 28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. 29 And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP.

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF THAT THOU HEARKEN UNTO THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them” Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

“Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:34-35.

“What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness . . . 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were . . . 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” Romans 4:1-25.

WELCOME TO MONTH MAY 2024: MONTH OF EXPLORING, EXPRESSING AND ENACTING – “FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting” 1 Timothy 2:8.

“Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without anger and disputing or quarreling or doubt [in their mind]” 1 Timothy 2:8/AMP

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2024: MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS ENTITLED – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

The Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year of the Gregorian and Julian calendar. It’s the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month April is associated with springtime indicating – BLESSEDNESS, NEW BEGINNINGS, and a time to BLOSSOM, REFRESH and REJUVENATE, REKINDLE and MORE.

And as the Month April theme thus indicated the BLESSEDNESS of God, there’s the path to access and to have an entrance to the blessedness – which of cause, is a matter of BELIEVING – BECOMING A BELIEVING ONE, hence as a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, it’s entitled – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE” even as Jesus put forth before the one in need of God’s BLESSEDNESS from Him. For it’s not by going to Church gathering services, being indoctrinated to a denominational creeds, bylaws, traditions and dogmas that ends up making the word of God of no effect – but it’s about our BELIEVE/BELIEVING, and in this case – SCRIPTURALLY, and it’s irrespective, and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. For when you WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] BELIEVE, you will also be WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] ACTING in the name of FAITH and be held down there by the bondage of religion and religiosity at your own detriments.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have DELIVERED: and MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE” Mark 7:12-13.

Most times, it’s not a matter of having faith or exercising FAITH but it’s a matter of – IF YOU ACTUALLY and GENUINELY BELIEVE on that which you ARE earnestly desiring of God and upon what SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT do you BELIEVE, to enable you to ACT upon by FAITH – wherein you can then please God and make Him cause His WORD to tangibly make out your reality in Him.

“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 BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

Often of the time, Jesus Christ will ask those looking up to Him for answers to their life questions in all respect – [Health, sickness, family, relationship, peace, security, prosperity, career, business, marriage, etc]; He wants to ensure for their own assurance, in order for them not to be confused and deceived by others afterwards of their BLESSEDNESS, hence sometimes He ensured by asking them – IF THEY DO BELIEVE TO OWN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HE CAN DO – especially on the request they are asking of Him; and this is to necessitate that they are not necessarily wanting an answer because of their desperation for an immediate solution; then disappear and appear again when there’s another life challenges without a steadfast believing stand in the faith. For many just wants solution to their life problems and hurdles and not necessarily because they BELIEVE in the services of God in scriptural context. For many WALKED AWAY from Christ Jesus in His humanity ministerial cause for human redemption, especially when matters of their BELIEVING of Him was challenged by the necessary scriptural context He put out before them. [Kindly read in full – John 6:1-71].

“. . . 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye SEEK me, not because ye SAW [BELIEVE] the miracles, but because ye did EAT of the loaves, and were FILLED . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent . . . 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life . . . 64 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him . . . 66 From that time MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:1-71. [Read it all in full]

For without believe or believing, it’s impossible to actualise the enabling faith upon the grace of God that brings about answers to human questions not only for the moment of needs but for the sustainability upon the scriptures. They’re many today who DO NOT BELIEVE in the genuity of Christ Jesus to have come in the flesh and even the fulness of our redemption by God in Christ Jesus. Hence, we are informed by the Scripture to mark and note this set of sectarian people, and to earnestly contend to stay secured on the FAITH we stand upon, against their UNBELIEF [UNBELIEVE, UNBELIEVING] sectarianism, which repercussions results from their WRONG [UNSCRIPTURAL] BELIEVE and BELIEVING foundation. [1 John 4:1-3; Jude 1:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

For to BELIEVE is PASSIVE and to have FAITH is ACTIVE. Believe is like the default that ought to be there before the activation of faith for results to manifest or reveal tangibly. For FAITH is acting upon what you BELIEVE of God accordingly, to the scriptural context in used. For BLESSED is the one that BELIEVE first, then go to act upon as an act of FAITH, upon that scriptural context of believe – therein God will certainly do His will in His WORD – meaning, God will then perform His promise to them that BELIEVES on His possibility promise.

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

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:37, 45.

So, that question or matters of life that you are bothered about and want an answer from God in Christ Jesus, do you actually BELIEVE that God can sorts it out for you without you with you having other plan B’s and second consideration thoughts and alternatives –  knowing that God searches the reins, hearts and thoughts of man [Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27], can you take a believing stand to the end, especially if it’s a matter that requires faith and patience to make it a reality? Can you be patience to wait, and will you wait through patience untill God’s promise comes to your reality for you?

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you DO SHEW THE SAME DILIGENCE TO THE FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE UNTO THE END: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL [SLUGGISH, SLUGGARD], but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12.

POSSIBILITY and IMPOSSIBILITY is possible with God if you can BELIEVE. God knows how to make all things [good and bad, possible and impossible] to become possible – come to fruition in fulfilling His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for you both in the now and tomorrow.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP.

Just know that to BELIEVE is personal, and it’s firstly to – ACKNOWLEDGED, OWNED, be CONVINCED and such like, thereby ensuring the enabling and needed scriptural context of FAITH to become activated for the reality and realisation of one’s desires in essence. And it’s in this context of acknowledging, owning and being personally convinced, that God is able to act, and to make all things both possible and impossible, to be all possible accordingly. [Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23-24].

And you must also come to realise, that, to BELIEVE ON Him and to BELIEVE IN Him are not the same but are both important in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that in this Month of BLESSEDNESS, you can believe God in Christ Jesus to be BLESSED accordingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“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 the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

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

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

WELCOME TO “MARCH 2024” MONTH THEME: THE “PROFITABLE LIVING” MONTH!

“ALL SCRIPTURE is GIVEN by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE], throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:16-17/Emphasis Mine.

You are WELCOME to the Month MARCH – the Month of “PROFITABLE LIVING” as you step up and take your JUSTIFIED and ACCESS stand in the FAITH in Christ Jesus; it’s the Month for you to ensure that your assured rights and privileges in REDEMPTION as given in God’s promise BLESSEDNESS, now becomes your reality and your onward and upward trajectory, in obtaining your predestined INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

This an opportune MONTH to start acting on the believe of God’s word by FAITH, especially in your justified and access stand in the grace, in order to ensure that the assured “PROFITABLE LIVING” as promised in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead, now BECOMES your reality in your DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY by the word in contrary to the children of Israel whose UNBELIEF robs them of their reality. For GODLINESS is PROFITABLE in all that pertains to doing life in this world and the life to come.

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise PROFITETH little: but GODLINESS is PROFITABLE unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come . . . 13 Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to EXHORTATION, to DOCTRINE. 14 NEGLECT NOT THE GIFT that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 meditate upon these things; GIVE thyself WHOLLY to them; that thy PROFITING may appear to all” 1 Timothy 4:7-8, 13-15.

“For UNTO us was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as UNTO them: but the WORD PREACHED did not PROFIT [BENEFIT] them, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it” Hebrews 4:2/Emphasis Mine.

For in Hebrews 4:2, the scripture gives a clear summary picture of the children of Israel mindset, on why they couldn’t have their assured inheritance and enter the FULLNESS of the promised land with the promised BLESSEDNESS; and are yet the a covenant people with promised blessings, but it were eluded and eroded from many of them in their time. The short and simple storyline is because the children of Israel were asked to produce one person from each tribes to make up the twelve tribes mission, who were to go and spy the land in respect of God’s plan for them to possess the land and have it as an inheritance in their own promised BLESSEDNESS of the Gospel PREACHED to them.

“For indeed we have had the GOOD NEWS [of salvation] PREACHED to us, just as the Israelites also [when the GOOD NEWS of the promised land came to them]; but the message they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not UNITED with FAITH [in God] by those who heard” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [AMP].

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then THEY which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

And the twelve chosen, all heard the same pulpit GOSPEL messages of God’s promised BLESSEDNESS for the land to possess as an inheritance as PREACHED to them. Since there were no written WORD as it is today, they all heard the unadulterated and undiluted Gospel word from the same servant of God – Moses; and all messages in public to all, and in same day and date, were all preached to of the Gospel of promise as the scriptures enjoined to all and especially to same people [twelve] who were going for the spying expedition; unfortunately, the Gospel PREACHED to them did not PROFIT [BENEFIT] them because of the UNBELIEF to God’s PREACHED word; and worst still, is the UNBELIEF feedback from the ten to the congregation which undermined the other two [Joshua and Caleb] who believed the PREACHED word and came back with hope and assurance to profit [benefit] the people of God.

“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]

The consequence and a result of the UNBELIEF, is that many died in the wilderness and couldn’t enter into their inherit nor the promised BLESSEDNESS of God as GIVEN and PREACHED to them. It was only the two [Joshua and Caleb] of the twelve spies and few others younger generations who believed the gospel that was PREACHED to them by the two [Joshua and Caleb], entered their INHERITANCE and the promised BLESSEDNESS of God as per the Gospel PREACHED and BELIEVED. More so, the GOSPEL didn’t PROFIT [BENEFIT] them because they didn’t MIXED the same PREACHED Gospel messages with FAITH in the faithfulness of God to His unfailing and authoritative WORD, that He’s able to ensure that the assured promised BLESSEDNESS will come to fruition in their life’s for an inheritance.

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12.

“And we desire for each one of you to show the SAME DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to REALIZE and ENJOY the FULL assurance of HOPE until the end, 12 so that you will not be [SPIRITUALLY] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/Amplified [AMP].

And there are many out there today who earnestly desire the promises of God by the Gospel come to pass and have fruition in their lives but are not having it come to reality as promised. And in most of the time, it’s the same UNBELIEF and not MIXING up the preached GOSPEL by FAITH. And some, instead of them returning to the WORD of God to resolve the missing links, some have resolved to seek or go into the another form of Gospel that leads to PERVERT, ADULTERATION and INDOCTRINATIONS and religious oblations and such like as Apostle Paul warns and other Apostle request that we contend steadfastly in the faith against them [Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

Today some have RESOLVED and are DEVOTED to religion and religiosity and of course are getting no way with it apart from further bondages. While others are cumbersome with lots and loads of INFORMATION without experiencing the TRANSFORMATION desired of God’s promised word to them because it’s not mixed with FAITH that results to the REVELATION of the word of God. Faith is of the realms of revelation and not just a mere word or statement. That’s why a mere BELIEVE is not enough, because the devil also believes, but trembles and have no access into the redemptive BLESSEDNESS of God for the REDEEMED in Christ Jesus by faith.

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:19.

There’s DANGER of UNBELIEF in our midst today – and many have not MIXED the gospel PREACHED and BEING PREACHED to them with FAITH; as such, many are not having and experiencing the PROFITABLE LIVING by the WORD as promised in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; hence we have now a FAITHLESS generation – and their UNBELIEVING makes faith inactive and they can’t fathom God in all their doings – full of zealousness without revelation knowledge of the word that’s of FAITH. And an UNBELIEF to God’s WORD is detestable to God. And none can have a PROFITABLE LIVING by the GOSPEL in a state of unbelief and more so, not mixing the word of God by faith. [Mark 6:5-6; Hebrews 4:2; John 3:16-18; Acts 13:46, 48]. Just know that to BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE – meaning, FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in the context accordingly. Hence a mere BELIEVE is not enough to PROFITABLE LIVING with God untill FAITH is activated – acted upon in the revelation of that word in context.

“For WHATSOEVER things were WRITTEN AFORETIME were WRITTEN for our LEARNING, that we through patience and comfort of the SCRIPTURES might HAVE hope” Romans 15:4.

“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].

The Bible, the WORD is God’s instructions for our profitable living. And undermining it’s place in our lives will cause us from profitable living in spite of all our religion and religiosity.

Today, I welcome you to Month MARCH, the month of PROFITABLE LIVING in our assured promised word of God, in our rights and privileges in redemption, in Christ Jesus stead, Amen; and therefore, call you to awake to a PROFITABLE LIVING as God’s child. God had by His grace promised to give us a hope and a future. It comes by believing in His promised word without compromise and adulteration and indoctrinations to denominational creed, bylaws and traditional dogmas but by having FAITH – that’s to acting upon the word of God accordingly as written and preached in the context of any subject irrespective and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

Be Blessed.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

WELCOME TO MONTH FEBRUARY 2024: THE MONTH OF – “TRIUMPHING BY LOVE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s LOVE for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amplified

It’s time to TRIUMPH by the LOVE that GIVES and SERVES, rather than by the LOVE that DEMANDS and RECEIVES and equally lives on ENTITLEMENT as a rights on others. You need to know that it’s written in the Holy writ, that it’s more BLESSED for you and I to GIVE than to RECEIVE. Knowing full well that our Father God so LOVES us, that He GAVE, as a living demonstration that indicates the awesomeness, graciousnesss and gracefulness of genuine love. For a genuine LOVE is a GIVING love and a SERVING love unlike the selfish and self-centred love that’s of a demanding, receiving and entitling love – the love that limits one’s potential to do life and live godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Acts 20:35; John 3:16; Galatians 5:13].

My task this month is to challenge us in our intent by asking this question:

** How will you demonstrate and manifest the God kind of LOVE this Month FEBRUARY 2024 and onwards?

** Are you going to manifest, demonstrate and ensured the LOVE that’s makes you a GIVER and SERVER of love in menus of doing life and living godly or the one whose love in menus, is that which is a DEMANDER and RECEIVER and ENTITLEMENT in perspective?

The choices of the onward and upward trajectory to thrive in TRIUMPH and in daily TRIUMPHANT living, is yours to make and determine if you will operate by the love of God that goes beyond PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead.

I strongly beckoned on you to awake to KNOW THE LOVE of God that’s beyond human sensual reasoning – meaning, that SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS the flesh and senses of what you – see, smell, taste, feel or touch, and hear as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead [Ephesians 3:17-19]. It’s a high and higher time to WALK IN THE LOVE that GIVES and SERVES rather than the love that belittles you knowingly and unknowingly by the act of demanding and receiving kinds of love mentality.

We mustn’t forget that Jesus Christ, our saviour and Lord in humanity, left us lots of living examples to follow in His stead, to enable us live TRIUMPHANTLY as He did. Firstly, He loves to the end His worker’s – the Disciples (witness /witnesses) that turned Apostles (messenger/representatives) in the cause of time [John 13:1-2; 30-31]; He instructed us to love our enemies and pray for them in love irrespective – [Matthew 5:38-48]; He instructed us to live and walk in Love, for thereby others may see us as His followers and living epistles of the word and then seek after our God in Him – [John 13:1-2, 34-35; John 15:8-14]. What a profound legacy for us in humanity. That makes us inexcusable in every measures.

It’s a high time that you begin a new journey  of an onward and upward trajectory, to enable you to experience and walk in the  LOVE of God, which is the hallmark and the more excellent way to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead triumphantly – and that’s by the – GIVING LOVE and SERVING LOVE – in Christ Jesus. Amen [Ephesians 5:1-2; 1 Corinthians 12:31].

Genuine love is about GIVING and SERVING others irrespective. And it’s time to think and act differently in matters of God’s kind of love, which always it’s about the terms of – SERVICE or SERVING and GIVING. Thus indicates that whenever the word – LOVE – runs through your inner subconscious being, think and act – GIVING and SERVING and not DEMANDING and TAKING (RECEIVING) and ENTITLEMENT.

The genuine TRIUMPHANT LOVE of God – DOESN’T DEMAND for LOVE; it instead, GIVES LOVE, SERVES LOVE – and by LOVE and in LOVE, it LOVES others irrespective. TRIUMPHANT LOVE, is a LOVE GIVING and LOVE SERVING love by the act of LOVE in everything about all it’s operations in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 16:13-14; John 3:16; Ephesians 5:1-2]. And TRIUMPHING BY LOVE, is the MOST and MORE EXCELLENT WAY to live and do life with God together and with others in humanity, and under God’s kingdom causes, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. [1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

I pray that you come to know of a fact that it’s also possible you can GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING services to others – [meaning it’s possible to give, serve and render services] WITHOUT LOVE, but you CAN’T be a carrier, representative and vessel of God’s genuine kingdom minded person that’s TRIUMPHING BY LOVE without being captivated with the GIVING, SERVING and RENDERING of the services of in grace – [meaning you can’t love without being a giver and server and renderer of services]. For the Love of God is more than just to give (giving) and to take (taking) as some may think in their concept of give and take world; but it’s purely in the GIVING as in [John 3:16; Acts 20:35]; and also in the SERVING as in  [Galatians 5:13], as it’s written, it’s more BLESSED to GIVE in love than to RECEIVE; and to SERVE one another by love, in the grace, irrespective. [Acts 20:35; Galatians 5:6, 13].

Know also that, the scenario and idea of rendering CHARITY on CHARITABLE CAUSES can’t be attributed genuinely as God’s love or people’s loving others, simply because SERVICES attributed to love are rendered. People will do anything to fill up the statuesque of love, for their own selfish reasons – and sometimes it could be to probably avoid paying their shared taxes to the state in the name of doing charitable cause, thereby evade their responsibility and accountability, or for some is to gain applaud and hypes opportunities for popularity from the vulnerable for political or position purposes, or for some to win and blindfolds someone else’s hearts for selfish gratifications in exchange, or for some to give them the enabling to control, manipulate, oppress and gain upper hands popularity over others, or for some and many such like – it’s the reason which is best known to the cause of such act to express their hypothetical, prejudice and sentimental and hypocritical act of giving and serving to indicates a dislike to others in their faces.

However, when services [serving and giving] it’s genuine, and TRIUMPHING BY LOVE engineered, you see flawless and the gracious characteristics and concept wherein prejudice, sentiment and dissimulation are kept at bay intentionally and pragmatically for the good of all [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:8-15].

Make it your signature today that the hallmark and the more excellent way of ensuring in you TRIUMPHING BY LOVE is known through – GIVING and SERVING – the rendering SERVICE to others, in the love of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And to know  that – God is love. And He wants us to live out His nature in full as Jesus Christ did in humanity. And that it’s possible when we allow the Holy Spirit of promised that He had given us to make it possible and to help us take charge and control of realisation and to bring triumphing by love to fruition in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 1 John 4:4, 6, 8, 16, 18].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you will manifest and genuinely live TRIUMPHANTLY, thereby TRIUMPHING BY LOVE in everything, and everywhere, and everyway, by God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15.

“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes evident everywhere the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.

“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 KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“Be on guard; stand firm in your faith [in God, respecting His precepts and keeping your doctrine sound]. Act like [mature] men and be courageous; be strong. 14 LET EVERYTHING YOU DO BE DONE IN LOVE [motivated and inspired by God’s love for us]” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14/Amp.

“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.

“I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:35.

“And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles EXERCISE LORDSHIP OVER THEM; and they that EXERCISE AUTHORITY upon them are called BENEFACTORS. 26 But ye shall NOT BE SO: but he that is GREATEST among you, let him be as the YOUNGER; and he that is CHIEF, as he that doth SERVE. 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that SERVETH? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that SERVETH” Luke 22:25-27 [Matthew 20:25-28; Mark 10:35-45].

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2024 – ENTITLED: THE STARTUP OF – “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“You CROWN THE YEAR with Your GOODNESS, and Your paths drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they SHOUT for JOY, they also SING” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“This is the DAY the Lord has MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/NKJV.
 
The evolving, revealing and manifestation of a new DAWN and DAWNING YEAR indicates an ASSURING of a new beginning. And God’s intent in His grace and BLESSEDNESS is for you and all to REJOICE and be GLAD as the DAY turns to WEEK and the Week to MONTH and the Month turn to the fulness of YEAR – for He’s the Same God, that made and makes it all to be beautiful in His timeline and that never changes. That’s the message being converged of the Scriptures of Psalms 65:11-13 and Psalms 118:24 respectively.
 
More so, God is the fountain of life and for all life and being; and our intentional resolve to get connected and synchronised to Him, shall we then blossom, rejuvenate and refresh in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And in the same capacity shall we also experience the fullness of His light of life, to help energised and empower our well-being in the path of doing life and grace, in Christ Jesus; even as it’s enjoined in the Holy writs, for our resolve to ponder within the context:
 
“For with thee is the FOUNTAIN OF LIFE: in thy LIGHT shall we see LIGHT” Psalms 36:9.
 
“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to SHINE OUT of DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our HEARTS, to GIVE the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
 
“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a Light unto my PATH . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE.” Psalms 119:105, 130.
 
“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.
 
“But the PATH OF THE JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it REACHES its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the PERFECT DAY” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified.
 
And by the reason of God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS, I hereby resolved by the access and stand in the grace of Romans 5:1-2, make this declaration that God’s graciousnesss and gracefulness, lovingkindness and blessedness, will be your experience in the FULNESS of the Scriptures of Psalms 36:9 and 2 Corinthians 4:6 and Psalms 119:105, 130; Psalms 16:11 and Proverbs 4:18; and the LIGHT of God in Christ Jesus will illuminate you on every side in this Year 2024, as He becomes your FOUNTAIN of LIFE.
 
Therefore, in this YEAR 2024, I declare and decree that the year 2024 shall be your year of POSSIBILITIES and POSSESSIONS by faith on the mandate of – “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS! As such, the MOUNTAIN shall becomes a PLAIN, VALLEY shall be FILLED and EXALTED, the CROOKED PATHS and ROADS of life limitations shall become STRAIGHT and the Rough PLACES of doing life and living godly shall become SMOOTH.
 
And may you be able to enact and authenticate the enabling of God in REDEMPTION, as a carrier of God’s TRIUMPHANT DNA in Christ Jesus stead. And by reason of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, I declare that every place the sole of your feet shall tread upon, shall be yours for the taken, and everything your hands shall touch shall be crown with God’s goodness and abundance, God’s grace and wisdom, God’s blessing and speed, in Jesus precious name, Amen!
 
Therefore I say – may the enabling grace of God in Numbers 6:24-26, be with you in the ASSUREDLY YEAR 2024 according as it’s written:
 
“The Lord BLESS thee, and KEEP thee: 25 the Lord MAKE his face SHINE upon thee, and be GRACIOUS unto thee: 26 the Lord LIFT UP his COUNTENANCE upon thee, and GIVE thee peace”
And I commend you to God and to His WORD – the POWER of His grace, that by the effectual enabling works of the Holy Spirit, that as you GO FORTH in the MIGHT of God’s POSSIBILITIES in the PREVAILING WORD today, it shall be to you an onward and upward trend of altitude; and you may BECOME what you BELIEVE of God, in and for YEAR 2024, in Jesus precious name. Amen.
 
BE HAPPY. BE BLESSED. YEAR 2024 IS YOURS FOR THE TAKEN. ENJOY YOUR BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

CONGRATULATIONS – WELCOME TO THE ASSUREDLY YEAR 2024: HAPPY AND BLESSED YEAR 2024! YEAR OF “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the PASTURES of the WILDERNESS: and the little HILLS rejoice on every side. 13 The PASTURES are clothed with FLOCKS; the VALLEYS also are COVERED over with CORN; they SHOUT for JOY, they also SING” Psalms 65:11-13.
 
I CONGRATULATE YOU, WELCOME YOU and WISHES YOU God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in the realm and sphere of enacting the ASSUREDLY YEAR of – “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
It’s my heartfelt thoughts and PRAYERS that my God and your God may crown the ASSUREDLY YEAR 2024 for you and family and all you loved and cared about, with His GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE; and may His graciousnesss and gracefulness, lovingkindness and blessedness, abound the more with you as He prospers you and keeps you in health and wholeness, even as your soul prospers in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
YEAR 2024 to me it’s a year of “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS! And to be ASSUREDLY Triumphant in every place in Christ Jesus in this context, thus means but not limited to the following:
 
** To know that you are assuredly BEING TRIUMPHANT is of God and not of yourself by any means of measures; and it’s of our REDEMPTION in what Christ Jesus HAD DONE FOR you, He HAD DONE IN you, He’s DOING IN you, He’s DOING THROUGH you and DOING WITH you irrespective, to make you be who you ARE, to have of Him, and to become of Him, in doing life and living godly in humanity under divinity. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15:1-21).
 
** To know that it’s God that will CAUSE us to triumph assuredly – And this assured triumph comes from what God did in Christ Jesus in our redemption. Everything God did in Christ He did it for you and me; not only that, but He set the credit to our account as though we did it—as if we were there. He made it our victor. [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8, 17-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21].
 
** To know that being Triumphant does mean that God can overcome or work through every single circumstance that may befall you to advance His purpose in your life irrespective. [Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Ephesians 1:10-12; Romans 8:31, 37].
 
** To know that being Triumphant is much more ASSUREDLY than being victorious. For to be VICTORIOUS is describing a FACT of victory, but being TRIUMPHANT is more meaning-loaded, it thus means you both describe the FACT of VICTORY and CELEBRATE it accordingly – and with a bit of Oomph to seal it, just as you do see in sports for example – where medals🏅 are given on a platform to celebrate. And our triumph in redemption in Christ Jesus is sealed with the blood by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us. [2 Corinthians 2: 20-22; Romans 5:5-8; John 14:16-17; Ephesians 2:1-21].
 
** To have the enormous strength, to be strong, to be powerful, to be mighty, to be great over any forms of oppositions and limitations in – creating, innovating exploring, and initiating. [Job 17:9; Philippians 4:13; Ephesians 6:10; Luke 10:19; Zachariah 4:6]
 
** To ask or persuade (someone) to do something that needs getting done in midst of all odds without a fight of strength because it’s done in Christ Jesus [Luke 18:1-8; John 11:1-46; John 14:12].
 
** To get control, have influence and have dominion in any particular situation that would have captivated you by any chance – [Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 6:14].
 
** To enact and authenticate that redemption in Christ Jesus is powerful and superior to satan and cohorts. [Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV; Ephesians I:7-8; Revelation 5:9-10].
 
** To win, to be victorious; to be an overcomer; to be a more than conquerors; to be triumphant and such like in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4-5].
 
** To manifest – show forth, reveal – the fulness of God to subdue and subject the enemy and cohorts in their craft and wickedness. [Romans 8:18-21; 1 John 3:8, 10; 1 Corinthians 12:7; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Hebrews 4:12-13].
 
And in this YEAR 2024, it’s a CHOICE if you want to live in TRIUMPH by “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS or you want to be of a WISH-WASHY on a mere PROPHECY that’s based on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appeals to your circumstances and vulnerability and not after your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead.
 
I have chosen to TRIUMPH in “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS, in order to experience the FULNESS of God’s grace, wisdom and speed and in His BLESSEDNESS by the inspiring, revealing and empowering mandate, to troll the ASSUREDLY YEAR 2024. And by “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS, I know I can TRIUMPH in all my endeavours to advance the Kingdom cause of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. I therefore also employ you in the same, same-like spirit of grace as Apostle Paul will say to stir up the Corinthians Church in this wise:
 
“We having THE SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.
 
I want you to know of a truth that by Jesus Christ did and deed in our redemption, we can prevail by “THE PREVAILING WORD” that’s made manifest in humanity, for Jesus Christ, is the Lion of the tribe of Judah that PREVAILED over all; He’s the WORD of God; He’s the SWORD of the Spirit that can do a diagnosis of the human tripartite being of – spirit, soul and body – resolving all problems within for our TRIUMPH. [Acts 19:20; Revelation 5:5; 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14; 2 Timothy 3:16; Hebrews 4:12-13].
 
I, therefore, announce by God, that you can TRIUMPH ASSUREDLY, and I now employ you to TRIUMPH in YEAR 2024 by “BEING TRIUMPHANT” IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS in this scriptural context and commendation:
 
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.
 
“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.
MAY YOU BE ABOVE ONLY IN ALL YOU DO IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
 
God loves and cares about you in Christ Jesus, even so do I, in His stead. Amen. Therefore, may you have an awesome and amazing YEAR 2024 in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
A HAPPY & BLESSED NEW YEAR 2024 IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

WELCOME TO MONTH NOVEMBER – THE ELEVENTH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH TO EXPLORE AND ENSURE – “THE REALITIES OF  BEING IN HIM’ – IN CHRIST JESUS!”

 

For IN Him – Christ Jesus:

* We Live

* We Move

* We Have Our Being

* And We Die to live again

Join me as we EXPLORE unreservedly and uncompromisingly through this Month, on how to ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION by God, in all that pertains to doing LIFE and living GODLY, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For IN Christ Jesus:

* We ARE REDEEMED

* We ARE Being REDEEMED

* And We SHALL be REDEEMED eternally.

I trust God that by this ELEVENTH hour month, that as you EXPLORE to ENSURE by the ASSURED REDEMPTION through KNOWLEDGE, you will NEVER be the same again by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

Be Blessed by God’s enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For IN HIM we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” Acts 17:28.

“For whether WE LIVE, WE LIVE unto the Lord; and whether WE DIE, WE DIE unto the Lord: whether WE LIVE therefore, or die, we ARE the Lord’s” Romans 14:8.

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is IN YOU IN CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 1:6.

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 IN WHOM we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified.

“. . . 2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places IN CHRIST: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US IN HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having predestinated us unto the adoption of children BY Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. 7 IN WHOM we have redemption THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace” Ephesians 1:1-7.

“Therefore by THE DEEDS OF THE LAW THERE SHALL NO FLESH BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is IN CHRIST JESUS: 25 whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 to declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus” Romans 3:20-26.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life IN CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what THE LAW could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” Romans 8:1-4.

“For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another” Romans 12:4-5.
