SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – YOU ARE THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYES: LIVE IN THE CONSCIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS! 

“Keep me [in Your affectionate care, protect me] as THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE; Hide me in the [protective] shadow of Your wings 9 From the wicked who despoil and deal violently with me, My deadly enemies who surround me” Psalms 17:8-9/Amplified. 

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14. 

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: And all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; SO THAT THY YOUTH IS RENEWED LIKE THE EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5. 

“Keep my commandments and live, and keep my law and teaching as THE APPLE (the pupil) OF YOUR EYE” Proverbs 7:2/AmpCE.

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

By Leave a Comment

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

“Where there is NO VISION [NO REVELATION of God and His WORD], the people are UNRESTRAINED [PERISHED]; But happy and blessed is he who keeps the law [of God]” Proverbs 29:18/Amplified. 

No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to start, sustain and to maintain it in the grace. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION. 

For LEADERSHIP’S MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time, talent and equipped materials are involved. A clear cutting-edged vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involved in the mission. 

The Eagles are known to be visionary because of their highly sighted eyes. It’s foresight and insightful nature are the great attributes that characterise this awesome creation of God. Hence, it can take on its prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style in a grand distance. 

Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of talent, finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, in the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like, likelihood to collapse is certainly possible. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ensure the assured atmosphere you want to enjoy, as you’ve VISIONED and VISUALISED in the grace. 

So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning, endeavour to make it KNOWN [KNOWLEDGEABLE] and UNDERSTANDABLY, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT. 

REMEMBER ALWAYS – TO READ BEFORE YOU RUN [SIGNED AGREEMENT]. 

IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18. 

“I will STAND upon MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4. 

“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

ENSURING THE PROFITABLE LIVING IN THE FAITH  

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Blessed read.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING 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 thus WRITTEN in FORMER days was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, that by [our steadfast and patient] endurance and the encouragement [drawn] from the SCRIPTURES we might HOLD FAST to and CHERISH hope” Romans 13:4/Amplified [Classic Edition] 

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

“For indeed we have had the 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]. 

“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]. 

“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 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. 

“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 1:2-4. 

“If the iron be BLUNT, and he do not WHET the edge, then must he put to MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to direct” Ecclesiastes 10:10. 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

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

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

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

“Therefore become imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance” Ephesians 5:1-2/Amplified.  

“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. 

As we navigate life day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year, as God tarries, it’s time to stop holding back and start TRANSLATING the God-given fruit of the Spirit into action by WALKING consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us into the image of Christ Jesus stead. 

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

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

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

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34). 

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

INCLINE YOUR HEARING HEARTS TO HEAR GOD: ONLY THE HEARING OF FAITH PLEASES GOD!

INCLINE YOUR HEARING HEARTS TO HEAR GOD: ONLY THE HEARING OF FAITH PLEASES GOD! 

“My son, ATTEND TO MY WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR unto MY SAYINGS. 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of THINE HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their FLESH” Proverbs 4:20-22. 

It’s an eminent and timeless time today, in our lives and our world to hear God with our spirit heart ears and not with our head. You can’t afford to stay in today’s world without hearing from God with your heart in the midst of the confusion in the world. It’s time to incline our hearing heart ears to God for our complete wholeness in a confused and detached world that’s depraved in many ways. I mean the hearing from the heart [spirit-being] to the effect of the Soul [will, emotion, intuition] and to the effect of body expression by the senses [smell, hear, see, taste and touch/feel] by which we do life and live godly in the world [1 John 5:4-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13]. 

So, inclining our hearing ears is about inclining our hearing and listening hearts that makes up our defining moment in life in the grace, as we are a spirit-being, having a soul and living in a body. It is our spirit-being spiritual health that defines our happiness and the victory we crave to have to deal with matters of our soul [will, emotion, intuition and body [senses], that overtime are our weakness, limitations and pain. When you incline your hearing ears [hearts] of your spirit-being to THE HEARING OF THE WORD, you will in time have wholeness in your total being, being blamelessly prepared for the coming our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Let’s just take a thought to read meditatively this spirit, soul and body relationship on these scriptural injunctions for your perusal: 

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4. 

“The spirit of man [that factor in human personality which proceeds immediately from God] is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts” Proverbs 20:27/Amplified Classic Edition. 

“The strong spirit of a man SUSTAINS HIM IN BODILY PAIN OR TROUBLE, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?” Proverbs 18:14/Amplified Classic Edition. 

“A happy heart is GOOD MEDICINE, and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones” Proverbs 17:22/Amplified Classic Edition. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“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. 

The inclining of our hearing ears [spirit-being – hearts] to listen to God’s sayings should be our earnest priority in such a time of our life today for our tomorrow. There are so much ongoing in our world that the likelihood to get cut into the web is very easy; and any errors of being mistaken in our judgment without God authorisation could cause us the power of God in the grace. That’s why HEARING and KEEPING God’s WORDS should be our priority in our present age; for the scriptures thus indicates that only by the continuous HEARING of God’s Word that FAITH comes, otherwise it goes where there’s no HEARING OF THE WORD; For by Faith, the consequence of THE HEARING OF THE WORD, leads one to the pleasing of God, and overcoming of the world system [de facto] and in bringing the enemy of our faith to God’s order of obedience in the grace. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRONEOUS], not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17. 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6/Amplified. 

“When a MAN’S WAYS PLEASE the Lord, He makes even HIS ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7/NKJV. 

“For everyone born of God is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world; and this is THE VICTORY that has CONQUERED and OVERCOME the world—our [continuing, persistent] FAITH [in Jesus the Son of God]” 1 John 5:4-5/Amplified. 

It’s time to HEAR God for yourself; it will SAVE your from being MISTAKEN – meaning, from working and walking EERENEOUSLY and in DELUSION. For FAITH in God is HOPE and ASSURANCE for our today and tomorrow in the gracious and graceful love of God in His purpose and will in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. [Hebrews 13:8; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11]. 

The only scriptural set default to pleasing God is by FAITH. And FAITH comes by the HEARING, and by the HEARING of THE WORD of God; this in other words means, THE HEARING OF THE SAYINGS OF GOD. As FAITH please God, thus indicates that THE WORD pleases God. And PLEASING God is REWARDING. It thus Mean therefore that – a NO WORD means a NO FAITH; and a NO FAITH, means a NO PLEASING of God; and a NO Pleasing God, means a NO God’s kind of REWARD. This thus indicates that it’s only when a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, that He MAKES His ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him – [Proverbs 16:7]. It also shows that the easiest way to get rid of the ENEMY and COHORTS around you and your faith of God in Christ Jesus, is by FAITH. And Faith is acting correspondingly on what one believes in context of God’s WORD we heard and received of Him into our spirit-being in the grace. 

Therefore, we can boldly conclude that FAITH PLEASES GOD and makes you VICTORIOUS and THE WORLD OVERCOMER in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. [1 John 5:4-5]. And acting upon the heard word in context by FAITH takes one out of SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS to being RIGHTEOUS and in RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS. [Romans 14:23]. 

THEREFORE, INCLINE YOUR HEARING EARS [HEARTS] TO HEAR GOD – HEAR THE WORD HEALTHILY UNTIL YOU FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING, IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND GOODNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

Inclining your hearing ears to hearing God by THE HEARING OF THE WORD, gives entrance of the WORD into the human spirit. And it’s only by the entrance of the WORD that one gets enlightened, illuminated and a simplified life in all CONTEXT to keep the dark and darkness at bay. [Psalms 119:105, 130; John 1:1-5; Proverbs 4:18-23; 2 Corinthians 4:6]. And the HEARING OF THE WORD is the HEARING of God, which will save us now and always from being MISTAKEN, ERRORNEOUS, and DELUDED in every way in doing life with God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For FAITH in God is hope and assurance for your today and tomorrow wellbeing in life and godly living. [Hebrews 13:8, Matthew 22:29]. 

Blessed reading in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“YOUR WORD is a LAMP [INSIGHT] to my FEET and a LIGHT [FORSIGHT] to my PATH . . . 130 The ENTRANCE [UNFOLDING] of YOUR WORDS gives LIGHT; It gives UNDERSTANDING to the SIMPLE [CHILDLIKE]” Psalms 119:105, 130/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“In the beginning [before all time] was THE WORD (Christ), and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it] . . . 14 And THE WORD (Christ) became flesh, and lived among us; and we [actually] saw His glory, glory as belongs to the [One and] only begotten Son of the Father, [the Son who is truly unique, the only One of His kind, who is] full of grace and truth (absolutely free of deception)” John 1:1-5, 14/Amplified. 

“For there are three that bear witness in heaven: The Father, THE WORD, and The Holy Spirit; and these THREE ARE ONE” 1 John 5:7/NKJV. 

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give us the Light of the knowledge of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the face of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6/Amplified. 

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

“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 . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYINGS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man HAVE NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the CHILDREN of God” Romans 8:9, 14-16. 

” If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 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 14:15-17.

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP! 

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, LOVEST thou me?

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

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!   

By Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM! 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!
