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

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.

“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.

“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.

“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 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.

“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.

“Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. 2 And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (THEN WERE THE DAYS OF UNLEAVENED BREAD.) 4 And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after EASTER to bring him forth to the people” Acts 12:1-4 (KJV)

“Now about that time Herod the king stretched out his hand to harass some from the church. 2 Then he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3 And because he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to seize Peter also.

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

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

** Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

** Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

** Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

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

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

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –

** that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10].

** You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3].

** There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20].

** There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10].

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:11-12.

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

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED US to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED US into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He CHOSE US in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having PREDESTINED US to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He MADE US accepted in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES of His grace 8 which He made to ABOUND TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having MADE KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL, according to His good pleasure which He PURPOSED in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINED according to the PURPOSE of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:3-8/NKJV.

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace in which we stand, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2/NKJV.

“And from Jesus Christ, the FAITHFUL WITNESS, the FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, and the RULER over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED US and WASHED US from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE US kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be GLORY and DOMINION forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/NKJV.

“And they SANG A NEW SONG, saying: “You are WORTHY to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were SLAIN, And have REDEEMED US to God by Your blood Out of every TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have MADE US kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth.” 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: “WORTHY IS THE LAMB who was SLAIN To RECEIVE POWER and RICHES and WISDOM, And STRENGTH and HONOR and GLORY and BLESSING!” Revelation 5:9-12/NKJV.

“But you ARE a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, His OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who ONCE WERE NOT A PEOPLE but ARE NOW THE PEOPLE of God, who had NOT OBTAINED MERCY but NOW HAVE OBTAINED MERCY” 1 Peter 2:9-10/NKJV.

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH: HE GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS TO MEN!

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Father God in Christ Jesus, GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to PERFECT – MATURE, COMPLETE, MAKE WHOLE and be the FULNESS of – His people spiritually as found but not limited, in the scriptures of [Ephesians 4:7-16]. These MINISTERIAL GIFTS are: APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS and TEACHERS and such like as may be found in the Holy Writ of – [Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:28-31].

I want you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND for sure that God didn’t give His MINISTERIAL GIFTS to them to LEGISLATE spirituality to His Church in Christ Jesus stead. For He has GIVEN His Church, the you, the HOLY SPIRIT to HELP His Church, the you, that He’s building, with the enabling endowment and enduement to help ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE His WORD that comes by the GIVEN ministerial gifts, is in His LOVE and goodwill to PERFECT – MATURE, COMPLETE, MAKE WHOLE AND FULNESS – His Church in His KINGDOM CAUSE and PURPOSE. [Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Philippians 1:15-18; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11-12].

Hence, none should be CONFUSED or be LORD-OVER in any form of LEGISLATION in the name of spirituality in Christ Jesus, which leads to BONDAGES, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS, MAN-MADE MAKE-BELIEVE and DENOMINATIONAL FALSEHOODS and DOCTRINAL INDOCTRINATION, that then becomes a will-worship of men traditions, thereby making the WORD of God of no effect as others have been subjected to incline toward. [Colossians 2:1-23; Mark 7:7-9; Matthew 15:5-9].

In COURSE and CAUSE of our PASSOVER, our Saviour-King and Lord – Jesus Christ, did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for us in His REDEMPTION DEED, He also GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to us, to enhance and enable the building up to maturity and perfection of His Church, in the fulfilment to His own given eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation.

For in Christ Jesus we ARE REDEEMED, we ARE BEING REDEEMED and we SHALL BE REDEEMED. It thus indicates the essence of us being GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS to help us live meaningfully, purposefully And fulfilling as His Church, in order to display His glory and wisdom on Earth.

Hence the need to know full well that when Jesus led captivity captive, He did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for men but He also GAVE GIFTS to men to fulfill Father God’s intent for His people in order for them to walk in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Him and to be secured from falsehood, adulteration, alteration and ignorance that the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in Christ Jesus will Pose. Meaning the GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS was and is to EQUIP HIS CHURCH. Anything contrary is not just BONDAGE but FALSEHOOD and MAN-MADE MAKE BELIEVE leading to HELL. Hence I love this AUTHOR UNKNOWN publication writ, which reads:

“BUILDING the CHURCH merely on MIRACLES makes the Church a SUPERMARKET: people come and shop for their miracles and leave”

“If you BUILD the CHURCH merely on HEALING you make the Church a HOSPITAL: People come to be HEALED and leave”

“And if you BUILD the CHURCH merely on the PROPHETIC, you make the Church a PSYCHIC and DIVINATION CENTRE: People come to be READ and leave”

“BUT if you BUILD the Church PURELY as A WORD BASED CHURCH, every other thing people seek naturally just happens”

Hence, I would commend us to Apostle Paul counsel in the graciousness and gracefulness of the Scriptures as it’s written:

“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.

Dear friend, know for sure that Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to FEED God’s people with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, thereby to EDIFY,  PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually. So if you must go to a place of fellowship and worship, ENSURE your total well-being in Christ is going to such in place or platform as found in the scriptures as written:

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

To authenticate the Church position, God EQUIP His CHURCH by giving MINISTERIAL GIFTS to MEN; this is in order to ensure and assure of the wholeness of our Blessed REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“Now he which STABLISHETH us with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED us, is God; 22 who hath also Sealed us, and GIVEN the earnest of the Spirit in our HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.

 “Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath GIVEN unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit” 2 Corinthians 5:5.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT man, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO and FRO, and carried about with EVERY WIND of DOCTRINE, by the SLEIGHT of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to DECEIVE; 15 but SPEAKING the TRUTH in LOVE, may GROW UP into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:7-16.

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 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, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

“It may be they will present their supplication before the Lord, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the Lord hath pronounced against this people. 8 And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, READING in the BOOK the WORDS of the Lord in the Lord’s house” Jeremiah 36:7-8.

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

The PASSOVER – A MEMORIAL OF REDEMPTION: OUR BLESSED REDEMPTION IS DONE!

“For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.

There is this very simple reason to CELEBRATE and COMMEMORATE the crucifixion and death, the burial and resurrection, and the ascension and enthronement, of our risen Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – it’s for this truth, about our restoration to Dominion that was once lost in EDEN now found by the CROSS for our REDEMPTION.

“And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . . 17 And ye shall OBSERVE the FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye OBSERVE this day in your generations by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .24 And ye shall OBSERVE this thing for an ORDINANCE to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the LAND which the Lord will GIVE you, according as he hath PROMISED, that ye shall KEEP this SERVICE. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, WHAT MEAN YE BY THIS SERVICE? 27 that ye shall say, It is the SACRIFICE of the Lord’s PASSOVER, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and DELIVERED our houses. And the people BOWED the head and WORSHIPPED . . .” Exodus 12:14-28.

The PASSOVER feast was instituted by God, but first celebrated or observed in Egypt. And it’s done by an act of faith and faithfulness toward God for the deliverance, emancipation and redemption of the Israelites from the horrors and bondages that was in the then Egypt [Hebrews 11:24-29; Exodus 12:1-36]; and to uniquely set apart as a MARKED out people and to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE His good and goodness toward His people, indicating of the deliverance from the bondage of slavery into their promised BLESSEDNESS.

PASSOVER was a divine contact and ORDINANCE for deliverance, victory, protection, peace, restoration and covenant to set His people free from Egypt, a place of bondage, suffering, death, torture, rigour and absolute hopelessness (Exodus 1:1-22). It was a foreshadow of what Christ has done for us now, as the PASSOVER Lamb sacrifice – crucified – for our REDEMPTION from the clutches and bondage of darkness into His marvellous light (Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5).

That’s the essence of the communion services that’s been held as often as allowable to be made happen. Jesus recall and instituted it again with the disciples. Ensuring that it becomes a MEMORIAL – Memorable. Hence the PASSOVER is the MEMORIAL of our REDEMPTION. Amen.

Genuine Bible love can be known. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is known is as enjoined in this Scripture:

“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.

“This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 GREATER love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

PASSOVER is expressing the genuine Bible LOVE – Laying your life down for the good of others as Jesus did.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US: 8 therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

“Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the PASSOVER must be killed. 8 And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 9 And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 10 And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the PASSOVER with my disciples? 12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 13 And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. 14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. 19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is MY BODY which is given for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in MY BLOOD, which is shed for you” Luke 22:7-20.

“By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. 27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. 28 THROUGH FAITH HE KEPT THE PASSOVER, AND THE SPRINKLING OF BLOOD, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. 29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned” Exodus 11:24-29.
