PRECIOUS STONES YOU ARE – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for VALUE, BEAUTY and GRACE, in the same like manner, is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus mean to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like.

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12).

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of  been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes.

Also, our Christ Jesus is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into his marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR.

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 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

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“To whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

THE ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY

By Leave a Comment

THE ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY: WILL GIVE LIGHT INTO YOUR DARK PLACE!

The assured WORD of prophecy that’s being prophesied over you, is genuine indeed, and it’s the one that shines light into your dark place. Anything else is falsehood, lies, craft, gains and deception. Otherwise, I fear for you, if you fall for the alternative to God’s WORD, I don’t know what might become of you at the end of the dawn day.

The ASSURED WORD OF PROPHECY is God’s WORD. And the God’s ASSURED WORD of PROPHECY, will point you to Christ Jesus stead and nothing else of any sort. It gives KNOWLEDGE and TESTIFY of Jesus Christ to you. Meaning, it leads you comprehensively to WHAT JESUS IS TO YOU, DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, IS DOING THROUGH YOU AND WILL DO THROUGH YOU by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH in His Love. You don’t have to FAKE IT in other to MAKE IT. It does not leads and create other BONDAGES or DEMANDS from you to additional or further sacrifices. Because God’s WORD operates through His LOVE, and God’s LOVE does not DEMANDS instead it GIVES. Simply for Christ is the end of all sacrifices. Romans 10:4.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH”

An ASSURED PROPHECY DON’T POINT TO SELF OR THE VESSEL IN USE. So let no man DECEIVE you by their Prophecy or prophesying for self glory or gratification, sentiments and appeals to have control over you toward your vulnerability. BE WISE. DON’T BE FOOL. There are FALSE Prophets out there and around you or nearby to you. It’s the last days. IT’S NOT BY CLOAK APPAREL OR TITLE. That’s why you are responsible to do your own – WATCH OUT and EXAMINE any – (Acts 17:10-12; 1 Corinthians 14:29-33; Philippians 1:15-18).

Just know full well that you are the CUSTODIAN of your life – so keep away from falsehoods before you start blaming any. RUN. I mean RUN very fast and away from that falsehood and stay safe in grace and life. Jude 1:3-4.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

An ASSURED PROPHECY does not create FEAR or LEADS to FEAR or generate anything that robs you of the DONE DID DEED in our blessed redemption in Christ Jesus. For FEAR LEADS to torments, insecurity and control, monitoring, overpowering and such like. That’s not God’s given ASSURED PROPHECY. That’s man VERDICT and CRAFT to subject, lure, gain, seduce and extract God’s good and goodness from you. 2 Timothy 1:7; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 2:68-75; 1 John 4:17-18.

God’s ASSURED PROPHETIC WORD is not – GRIEVIOUS, BURDENSOME, TROUBLESOME, TASKMASTER and TERRIFYING. God’s ASSURED PROPHECY liberates, delivers, assures, insures and ensures  to COMFORT, EXHORT AND EDIFY (BUILD UP) an individual person or people, of God, in Christ Jesus stead – 1 John 5:3; 1 Corinthians 14:3;  Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7-8.

Prophesies and Prophesying that LEADS you NOT to Jesus in terms of what He is to you, He has done in you, He is doing in you and He will do through you is not genuine; but selfish, gains and self-centred and a mockery of the true Gospel for the New Creation – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And I repeat as earlier said “You are the custodian of your life – so keep away from falsehoods before you start blaming any”

JESUS IS THE END OF ALL SACRIFICES AND PROPHECIES. LET NONE MAKE GAIN OF YOUR FREEDOM, LIBERATION AND REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS.

“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.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments (WORDS): and his commandments (WORDS) are not GRIEVIOUS (BURDENSOME, TROUBLESOME, TASKMASTER, TERRIFYING). 1 John 5:3 (Emphasis Mine).

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this present EVIL world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

“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.

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING, BUILDING UP AND ENSURING OUR PRECIOUS FAITH!

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1.

How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE and ENSURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of – silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, dignified, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and cohort intent to their TREASURED are kept at bay from their treasures.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH; and some as ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING as written in the Holy writs – [Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37]. While in some other cases, the defraud is enormous and people have been betrayed, blackmailed and some killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get at what they want, even in high places of trust.

Unfortunately, today, some will wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to help them keep to stay in their statuesque irrespective of the circumstances. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ can’t handle just to show off, keep to pace, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS.

“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.

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by love through the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – [Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 5:6].

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your precious FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. [Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18].

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your precious FAITH,  you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – [1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17].

Its time to take away the PRECIOUS FAITH from the VILE if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH in use to advance His cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – [Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21].

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD and ENSURE your PRECIOUS FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way.

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME: INVOLVES FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE to make in life in terms of either being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – or to make the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves. And it’s only by following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT in your life that FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead comes to reality. That’s what it means for one to earnestly enact the charged, assigned, and commissioned mandate to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, so that you don’t just attained success but the fulfilment therein.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

The quest there in the concept to – OCCUPY TILL I COME – is you are prepared to let God be the lead in the concept, especially when you are subjected to circumstances that’s different from your expectations as Philip the evangelist experienced by following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for his life – Act 8:1-40; Acts 21:7-9. As Philip the evangelist in obedience – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, the ride and drive may not always be pleasing but you can deduce it’s your place of FULFILLMENT in Him. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22/Emphasis Mine.

“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/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skilfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen only for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry as Philip the evangelist did in obedience –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher, richer and fulfilling as written in Acts 8:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 And there was GREAT REJOICING in that CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to GAZA. This is the DESERT [route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of GREAT AUTHORITY under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to WORSHIP. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or to have a global or the glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; Evangelist Philip was someone whose goal is to be a disciple and follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit; and one who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip the  evangelist did in Acts 8. Such attitude toward God’s intent, is what I called and considered as one who is – OCCUPYING TILL HE COMES and OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. It must be noted for sure that SUCCESS is good but it’s relative in life to all and it’s of God however; but God’s earnest desire is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve FULFILMENT which is far beyond just being SUCCESSFUL. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us to be successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively as charged to – OCCUPY TILL I COME.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative to all, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s in doing this God’s given and driven charge in an unhindered and uncompromising way; and with anything of sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did in 1 John 3:8; John 18:37 and Apostle Paul did in obedience as in Philippians 3:1-16, and upon which others like Archippus was exhorted, admonished and charged to do likewise also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; which is far beyond – from just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

This is the DESERT route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” (Acts 8:1-40) Kindly read the entire chapter for context.

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: THAT’S FAITH IN THE FAITH – TO BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS!

We live in a gracious and graceful time of human history with God in spite of the challenges and difficult times in the world. Unfortunately, lots of supposedly Believers in Christ Jesus, keep making unwarranted noise around towards their inability to enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of the FAITH, while in essence, they are not even ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH. You cannot have Faith in the FAITH that you are NOT intentionally committed to be established in it, and still want to be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. God does no magic; He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS; and His COMMANDS are INSTRUCTIONS and not an ADVICE that you PICK and CHOOSE as in a cherry garden.

Just as you cannot work in a National Post Office Services and its wage rating and you want to go and collect wages from the Civil Services pension pots, no matter how much interest you show toward it.

A lot of Christians are living in either of these: FAITH, PRESUMPTION, FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE).

It’s either you are living by FAITH in the Faith or you are living in PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE) in the Faith. The last two will not guarantee you the BLESSEDNESS of God in the Faith.

There’s therefore the need now for you to consciously and intentionally make effort to see you get yourself established in the Faith to ensure you are fulfilled, living purposefully and meaningfully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Faith in the done did deed of God in Christ Jesus gives you access to being ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

And when you are established in the faith, it becomes easier to be OBEDIENT to the Faith. And be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH, it becomes easier to COMMUNICATE THE FAITH.

And COMMUNICATING THE FAITH makes it gracious to beautify and colour your worlds in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the MUTUAL FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

“Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2 which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek. 4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 5 And so were the churches ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, and increased in number daily” Acts 16:1-5.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH“ Acts 6:7.

“. . . 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:5-6.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“And the TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE God WINKED (OVERLOOKED) at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT (Change of heart attitude/behaviour): 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world IN RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ORDAINED; whereof he hath GIVEN ASSURANCE unto all men, in that he hath RAISED him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2024: “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”: FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL IN HIS FAITHFULNESS – IT’S HIS BEING AND HIS NATURE!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

One thing is certain in life and grace, that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard or Tiger, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep or Ram, even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics. And if anyone wants to be god like God as the Scriptures enjoins, one needs to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”, for as He is, so are we in this world as written:

“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.

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Holy Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS” for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“O Lord, thou art my God; I will EXALT thee, I will PRAISE thy name; for thou hast done WONDERFUL things; thy COUNSELS of old are FAITHFULNESS and TRUTH” Isaiah 25:1.

The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ and therein prospered when he dare. The same enabling grace as to being FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ is available to us today when we dare, and it’s irrespective of any of our challenges toward being FAITHFUL and to then PROSPER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)].

Our God is the FAITHFUL God, that is, His NATURE and His BEING. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – it’s His NATURE and His BEING, and as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to have FAITH in the nature of God, regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself in FAITHFULNESS. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises in His FAITHFULNESS. Hebrews 10:23.
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement in His FAITHFULNESS. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
  8. God is the and a FAITHFUL creator in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS to all about life and godliness; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he CALLED them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN” John 10:34-35.

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6.
