INFORMED KNOWLEDGE: WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF INFORMED KNOWLEDGE! 

“Informed Leaders Are Readers And Are World Changers. Until You Read To Know And Understand What You Read, You Are Still Ignorant – Uninformed. Therefore, Read, Know And Understand To Lead” – Chukie MORSI Snr. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“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 (WHOLE, MATURED, COMPLETE), throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 2:14-17 (Emphasis Mine) 

‘We have also a MORE SURE WORD of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY dawn, and the DAY star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the TRUTH through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of CORRUPTIBLE seed, but of INCORRUPTIBLE, by the WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord ENDURETH for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

THE GATHERING BEFORE THE LORD GOD WITH THE BRETHREN

By Leave a Comment

THE GATHERING BEFORE THE LORD GOD WITH THE BRETHREN: SHARING FAITH, SHARING LOVE, SHARING HOPE AND SHARING FELLOWSHIP! 

“NOT FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [AS BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but admonishing (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified Classic Edition. 

One great mark of the fellowship is that we are not just REBORN of God as New Creation in Christ Jesus [John 3:3, 5; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16], but we are equally CALLED by the Faithful Father God to a place of FELLOWSHIP. And this FELLOWSHIP is an essence to enhance the RELATIONSHIP in our doing life and living godly by the Father God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

We are not just called to FELLOWSHIP for nothing but CALLED so that we can RECEIVE the enabling wherein we can fulfil His PURPOSE in us as His children effortless and without sweat and struggles as per doing it on our own. A life without purpose is a meaningless life. And it’s when a person or people do not know the purpose of a thing that abuse [abnormal use] sets into play. When you know the purpose of Believer’s gathering, you will value its worth and ensure it. Same goes to other areas of life – relationships, careers, business, family, leadership, governance, parenting… you will want to ensure purpose drives them. 

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that LOVE God, to them who ARE the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28. 

“In whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of Him who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the COUNSEL of His own WILL: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12. 

And a very good example of coming to a place of fellowship is when Jesus showed a living example in humanity, when He called the disciples. And one major act of calling them is that they might be with Him, and then, they can receive the enabling power to go and fulfil purpose as His ambassador on the earth. In the same scenario, God is calling us to be with Him in fellowship firstly amidst everything, then He can grant us the enabling power, grace and wisdom in His BLESSEDNESS, to go and fulfil purpose in Him. Otherwise, and contrary, we become absorbed in our self-gratification and self-centeredness AGAINST His intent to be always with Him while in return we are synergised by Him to be His faithful ambassador for Christ. 

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto Him whom He would: and they came unto Him. 14 And He ordained twelve, that THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM [FELLOWSHIP], and that He might SEND them FORTH TO PREACH [PURPOSE], 15 and to have POWER [GOD’S ENABLING] to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15/Emphasis Mine. 

Our gathering for fellowship is with the Father God and with His Son, our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. And in the gathering we find joy and fulfilment, forgiveness because of the ever atoning blood of Jesus to qualify us against the daily accusations of the enemy and cohorts of our faith in God in Christ Jesus [1 John 1:1-10; Revelation 12:10; Hebrews 12:22-24; Ephesians 3:14-15]. Hence, the gathering of God’s people is not a show but a meaningful and purposeful place to receive the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in order to live a fulfilling life in Christ Jesus stead. 

“That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2 (for the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) 3 that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have FELLOWSHIP with us: and truly our FELLOWSHIP is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, that your JOY may be FULL . . . 7 but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and THE BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin . . .” 1 John 1:1-10. 

“And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come SALVATION, and STRENGTH, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ: for the ACCUSER OF OUR BRETHREN is cast down, which ACCUSED them before our God DAY and NIGHT” Revelation 12:10. 

And today, as in every day and any day when there’s a gathering of God’s people, see the need to be there that you can come out and say – WHAT A DAY – WHAT A DAY OF GATHERING FOR SERVICES – it’s more than manna – it’s the pure, undiluted, unadulterated, and undistorted gospel being preached, the Word, the gracious Word, the graceful Word that’s admonishing, exhorting and comforting – the worship, the fellowship that’s a-never-like-nothing-else knowing that God is and was in-charge and speaking forth to you and all, and you can’t interrupt Him as you worship Him worthily and serve Him acceptably in the grace by the Holy Spirit in the grace. That’s the essence of the gathering in God’s presence with His people – Believer’s alike in the faith, in Christ Jesus stead. 

“So MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD OF GOD and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20. 

“But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:24. 

“, , , 23 And being let go, they [Peter, and some other disciples] went to their own company [Brethren], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their VOICE to God with ONE ACCORD, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is . . . 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 4:1-37. 

It’s in such cooperate gatherings that we are emboldened to say, Yes Lord! – Speak forth, for your Servant and people hear and are hearing you. And being thrilled, thrilling and super excited of the GOSPEL, the WORD, the gracious WORD, the graceful WORD to bless God’s people. And it becomes a day to be FED or being FED healthily, meaningfully, purposefully by Lord God and uninterrupted and irrespective. 

IT’S ALL ABOUT HEARING THE WORD . . . CHANGING LIFE . . . MAKING A GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL DIFFERENCE . . . EMPOWERED TO THRIVE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF PROMISE IN FELLOWSHIP AND WORSHIP. 

As a Minister of the Gospel and through the course of the faith journey before becoming a minister of the Gospel, I do know very well indeed, what it means to have now and often A-NEVER-LIKE-NOTHING-ELSE experience in the grace. The lovely and lively touch – The TAKEN OVER of THE WRITTEN WORD, by the gracious and graceful HOLY SPIRIT, to inform and transform God’s people by the REVEAL and LIVING WORD that’s being made manifest, in the midst of God’s PRECIOUS and REDEEMED people. It’s awesomely awesome indeed. A great day of service, that’s worth the ingathering, that closing the meeting may be very difficult sometimes, especially in some meetings. 

Any day of gathering should be a day that’s worth with JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH, that’s WORTH remembering and never to be forgotten in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. More also, a gathering of the saying to each other in the parting benediction: MARANATHA! Meaning the Lord comes soon, the Lord is coming, and come Lord and Saviour – Jesus Christ! 

May JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH be with you in an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead, as you see the need for the gathering of God’s people under God and not the habit to be absent as in others as the scripture of Hebrews 10:25 thus indicates and admonished.  

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT: 

“. . . 9 Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, SPEAK, Lord; for thy servant HEARETH. So, Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10 And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, SPEAK; for thy servant HEARETH . . .” 1 Samuel 3:1-10. 

“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 (MEDICINE) to all their FLESH. 23. KEEP thy heart with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES (SPRINGS) of life” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 KNOWING this first, that no prophecy of THE SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but HOLY MEN of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

“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. 

“For this cause I bow my KNEES [FELLOWSHIP (PRAYERS), WORSHIP] unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 of whom the whole FAMILY in HEAVEN and EARTH is named, . . .” Ephesians 3:14-21/Emphasis mine. 

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION [THE CHURCH], and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the GENERAL ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the FIRSTBORN, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24/[Revelation 1:5-6; Romans 8:28-30] 

“And many people shall go and say, COME YE, AND LET US GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD OF JACOB; and he will TEACH us of His WAYS, and we will WALK in His PATHS: for out of ZION [THE CHURCH] shall go forth the LAW, and THE WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem” Isaiah 2:3. 

“And many nations shall come, and say, COME, AND LET US GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD, AND TO THE HOUSE OF THE GOD OF JACOB; and He will TEACH us of His WAYS, and we will WALK in His PATHS: for the LAW shall go forth of ZION [THE CHURCH], and the WORD of the Lord from Jerusalem” Micah 4:2.

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man

By Leave a Comment

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man: Feed the SHEEP of God with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING! 

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

“Be DILIGENT to know the STATE of your flocks, And ATTEND to your herds” Proverbs 27:23/NKJV 

In this age of multifarious and multi-various MULTIMEDIA – TELEVISION, RADIO and SOCIAL MEDIA platforms and such like – you can read, hear and watch all sorts of INFORMATION. Sometimes you wonder from which pit of hell are some of the stuffs coming from. However, in all, God had promised to give us Pastor’s [Shepherd], that will feed us with the knowledge of His will and purpose concerning us, and to our understanding of Him in our redemption in Christ Jesus. Shepherd that will lead us by His WORD in Christ Jesus, and not by traditions, gimmicks, indoctrination, dogmas, creeds and such like acts of prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. 

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and BRING them in, that the CONGREGATION of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.” Numbers 27:16-17. 

In the word of Apostle Paul in the Holy Writ, some people have twisted the Holy Scriptures to appeal to denominational dogmas, creed, traditions and oblations; while some are not fully explained in order to appeal to certain groups of people’s sentiments and bye-laws; and while others are deliberately made to create havoc in the Churches of Christ to appeal to popular opinions; and while there are those who in love are truly committed and dedicated to the cause of the Gospel in Christ Jesus stead, as Apostle Paul will say in all these as enjoined in the Holy writs. 

“SOME indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and SOME also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, 7 which is not another; but there are SOME who TROUBLE you and want to PERVERT the GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH any other GOSPEL to you than what we have PREACHED to you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone PREACHES any other GOSPEL to you than what you have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/NKJV. 

It’s a high TIME for God’s precious PEOPLE to truly CRAVE for genuine KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s precious WORD of LIFE in all sincerity in the midst of the FALSEHOOD, FAKE NEWS, ADULTERATED and COUNTERFEIT that runs and tends to rule in the various MULTIMEDIA platforms in our today worlds. 

THEREFORE I SAY: 

Are You A Believer In Christ Jesus? Do you belong to an Assembly or Denomination where the fellowship of brethren and worship of God in Christ Jesus takes place? 

“How is it then, brethren? Whenever you come together, each of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a tongue, has a revelation, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification” 1 Corinthians 14:26/NKJV. 

Ensure you steadfastly and steadily BELONG to a Local Assembly where you know and are known of other Brethren; and don’t be a SPIRITUAL HARLOTS or POTTED PLANT running and moving from Church to Church with no steady or stable place to account or count of you as a devotional worshipper with other people of God.  

“Not FORSAKING THE ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/NKJV. 

It’s good, gracious and graceful for you to ENSURE you have a place you BELONG and you can call THERE – a place you entrust your well being in SCRIPTURAL TRUTH and GUIDANCE in Christ Jesus; and is the place where you are FEED with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God in Christ Jesus just as the BEREAN BELIEVER’S where certainly certain while with Apostle Paul and others. 

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men” Acts 17:10-13/NKJV. 

And you need to ensure hopefully, that it’s not a place of sectarianism: gimmicks, philosophy, traditional oblations, denominational dogmas, creed, bye-laws and trash of what you want to hear even when it’s clear there are unscriptural; for in such atmosphere you will be as guilty as that so called Pastoral whom you can sense Scripturally that he/she has lost it, while you still listen to and desire such error and mistaken preaching and teaching to fill up your void places. 

“Therefore you have no excuse or justification, everyone of you who [hypocritically] judges and condemns others; for in passing judgment on another person, you condemn yourself, because you who judge [from a position of arrogance or self-righteousness] are habitually practicing the very same things [which you denounce]. 2 And we know that the judgment of God falls justly and in accordance with truth on those who practice such things. 3 But do you think this, O man, when you judge and condemn those who practice such things, and yet do the same yourself, that you will escape God’s judgment and elude His verdict?” Romans 2:1-3/Amplified. 

Are you a GOSPEL Minister to the congregation of God’s precious people? 

“So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “FEED MY LAMBS.” 16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He said to him, “TEND MY SHEEP.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?” And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.” Jesus said to him, “FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:15-17/NKJV 

Ensure you FEED them to the KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING of our God in doing life on earth for good, while heavenly mindful; and as a goodwill Minister of grace and Pastoral Shepherd of God’s precious people – and Not A Story Teller, Dubious, Cunning, Crafty Manipulator and or as a Extortionate.

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the congregation, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.” Numbers 27:16-17. 

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA. When they arrived, they went into the SYNAGOGUE of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES DAILY to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED, and also not a few of the Greeks, PROMINENT women as well as men” Acts 17:10-12. 

“SOME indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and SOME also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

COLOUR YOUR WORLDS

COLOUR YOUR WORLDS: DO YOUR LIFE A FAVOUR BY COLOURING YOUR ‘WORLDS’ THROUGH FAITH! 

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1. 

You are the custodian of your happiness, joy, peace, dignity, honour and more in the world wherein God have placed you to have an oversight upon as His CHOSEN GENERATION and an EMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, to show forth His awesome praise and wonders while in the earth for His Kingdom to advance while the enemy and cohorts are kept at bay. 

“But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10. 

“. . . 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:20 [17-21]. 

I don’t know what your ‘WORLDS’ seems to be, at this very moment. But one thing I do know is that you can create the atmosphere of the gracious ‘worlds’ you will love to live on daily. 

“Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of THINGS which do APPEAR” Hebrews 11:3. 

Your faith in God through His WORD and by the working power of the blessed Holy Spirit can make all the difference. 

Your intended worlds of excitement and rejuvenation, in respect to joy, peace, love, relationship, marriage, family, finance, career, ministry and more, are embedded on and in your FAITH. 

You can frame and colour your worlds today with the atmosphere you will really love to do life with. I pray God’s grace and blessings upon you as you remain steadfast in Faith to colour your worlds.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5. 

“Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of THINGS which do APPEAR” Hebrews 11:3. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession (CONFESSION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). 

“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. 

“For we WALK by FAITH, not by SIGHT” 2 Corinthians 5:7.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12. 

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE

By Leave a Comment

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE: IT’S THE DAY OF GOD’S POWER AND OUR STRENGTH COMES OUT OF ZION – THE CHURCH! 

“Crowns and thrones may perish 

Kingdoms rise and wane 

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain: 

Gates of hell can never 

‘Gainst that Church prevail; 

We have Christ’s own promise – 

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould. 

Yea, Individuals, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in the midst of all the hates and attacks from the ENEMY and COHORTS. 

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL [FLESHY, (MAN MADE)], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled” 3 Corinthians 10:3-6. 

“. . . For we WRESTLE not against FLESH and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20. 

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS. 

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13. 

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things right in the grace toward the human DECADENCE and DEPRAVITY in terms of: PERVERSIONS, WICKEDNESS, EVIL, ADULTERATION, PESTILENCE and such like. The decadence and depravity that we all see EVERY DAY is hurting, depressing and killing many in our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every place of living and doing life. God seeks for someone to rise in the grace for an answer to the human quest because He’s willing to provide solutions if there’s a VOLUNTEERING spirit. 

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I MAKE Your ENEMIES Your footstool.” 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF YOUR STRENGTH OUT OF ZION. RULE in the MIDST of Your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS in the DAY OF YOUR POWER; In the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW [ANOINTING] of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV. 

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, TO SHOW HIMSELF STRONG on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on you shall have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9. 

It’s time to readily VOLUNTEER and be WILLING as God’s UNPARALLELED STRENGTH that’s designed and structured as a default to come through ZION, which is the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For there, we shall RULE and REIGN over the ENEMY and COHORTS, in all their mode of operandi. For the refreshing, anointing and rejuvenating energy of the youth synergy for innovation, creativity, exploring and initiative, is within our being, to do EXPLOIT in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. 

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO READILY VOLUNTEER AND BE WILLING TO GIVE HOPE AND A FUTURE TO OUR GENERATION WITHOUT COMPROMISE OF OUR FAITH IN OUR GOD IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD. ARE YOU READILY READY TO VOLUNTEER? WILL YOU WATCH THE ENEMY AND COHORTS HAVE THEIR WAY WHILE YOU WATCH? I HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND SAID YES LORD TO YOUR WILL! 

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousness and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and wellbeing. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people 69 and hath raised up an HORN of salvation for us in the HOUSE of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the MOUTH of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that HATE us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 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.

THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME [TOTAL, WHOLE, COMPLETE] 

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME [TOTAL, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: IT ENRICHES AND IT’S SORROW FREE! 

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

I charge you today and now, to ALWAYS remember this – that God is committed to His Word and will PROSPER the WORKS of your hands and wellbeing; and as you are being BLESSED – [empowered by God’s enabling grace] to – SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME and PROSPER (THRIVE), His intent is about making you to be a BLESSING, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, ENRICHES all, and it’s without sorrow, and it’s whole, meaning it’s total and complete, and it’s without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation to all irrespective. For our God only offers wholeness just as our living Lord God Jesus lives while in humanity in wholeness as written: 

“And Jesus INCREASED in wisdom (MENTALLY) and stature (PHYSICALLY), and in FAVOUR with God (SPIRITUALLY) and man (SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY)” Luke 2:52 Emphasis Mine. 

And God, in giving His enabling POWER [CAPACITY, CAPABILITY, KNOW-HOW] to you, is for you to GET [CREATE] wealth; and He ensures His intent by assuring us to thrive in His initiatives of innovating, creating, initiating and exploring by the endowment and enduement that He has made available to us in His grace. And He accomplishes this intent by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS just as He accomplished the works of the hands of Isaac and established and fulfilled the promised of His covenant as written: 

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [CAPACITY, CAPABILITY, KNOW-HOW] to GET [CREATE] WEALTH [PROSPERITY], that he may ESTABLISH His COVENANT which He sware unto thy FATHERS, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine [Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14]. 

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER [the enabling RIGHTS, PRIVILEGE, CAPACITY] to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12/Emphasis Mine. 

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7. 

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he OUGHT to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE of faith” Romans 12:3. 

And there’s no gender, colour, tongue and such like limitations and restrictions, in the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, the God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus as we do life and live godly is whole, total and complete without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. 

And may as God BLESSES – PROSPERS you in His BLESSEDNESS, that is, cause the works of your hands to THRIVE, may you as being BLESSED, also become a BLESSING as spoken of God to the patriarch – Father Abraham on our behalf, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 12:1-3]. 

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – ABOUT IT! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“I have been young and now am old; yet have I not SEEN the RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, nor his seed BEGGING bread” Psalms 37:25. 

“Let them SHOUT for joy, and be glad, that favour my RIGHTEOUS cause: yea, let them say CONTINUALLY, Let the Lord be MAGNIFIED, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27. 

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good HEALTH [PHYSICALLY], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 2/Amplified. 

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will MAKE of thee a GREAT nation, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and CURSE him that CURSETH thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3. 

“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. 

“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” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“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 3:26-29. 

“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 living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified. 

“And there was a FAMINE in the land, beside the first FAMINE that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech, king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord APPEARED unto him, and said, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; DWELL in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will BLESS thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will PERFORM the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED; 5 because that Abraham OBEYED my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . 12 Then Isaac SOWED in that land, and RECEIVED in the SAME YEAR an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. 13 And the man WAXED great, and went forward, and grew until he BECAME very great: 14 for he had POSSESSION of flocks, and POSSESSION of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines ENVIED him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14.

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR 

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR: THE HOLY SPIRIT DEFAULT LOVE THAT ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS FOR AN AMBASSADOR!  

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God for God’s AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the only purpose driven enabling in the grace, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and to advance the kingdom cause. And here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in the default LOVE of God, knowing that LOVE is God and is of God; and the default LOVE is the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Take the Holy Spirit out of God’s love, one is then bound to have an adulteration and distortion of the love context that’s built on sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. It’s upon the Holy Spirit’s default LOVE for God that we can OCCUPY in Christ until He comes, “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED” in the grace wherein we stand in faith. 

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 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 4:7–10, 16-18.  

Love is an attitude, and of a deliberate and intentional choice, and an exercise of the will, and a gracious choice to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature and person of God by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, hence it’s spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very human hearts [spirit-being] of all God’s human creation that’s reborn of God in Christ Jesus; and more importantly, it’s in the very nature of the redeemed child of God, filled and led by the Holy Spirit to fulfil purpose meaningfully. The Holy Spirit default love is not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. The Holy Spirit default love outlived generations because it’s timeless and it’s of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. For God is love personified in our spirit-being for our well-being in Christ Jesus. 

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. And FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – AGAPE – is for the reborn of God and is a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us as written: 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23. 

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth” Ephesians 5:9. 

To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Christ’s ambassador, is by doing life and living godly by the Holy Spirit default LOVE; and this default of LOVE, gives the enabling to enhance earthly usefulness and heavenly mindedness for an ambassador for Christ. Let’s therefore consider LOVE in diversity for a clearer understanding of the various kinds of LOVE being implied in this context that’s applicable for the good of humans.  

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE THAT AFFECTS THE HUMANS – BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT [1 THESSALONIANS 5:23; HEBREWS 4:12-13]: 

  1. The PHILEO love: Grk (of the soul) – The Love relationship in family – which is between parent and child, otherwise, the Family kind of love. It also embodied the love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is a human or natural kind of love. [Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21]. This kind of love is, however, essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing. 
  2. The EROS Love: Grk (of the Physical body) – The Sexual kind of love, which is pure and purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Unfortunately, lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION, DISTORTION and ADULTERATION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences and effects across the board. [Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20].
  3. The AGAPE Love: Grk (of the spirit) – The God kind of love; the kind of love that’s unconditional, limitless, divine and spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. The love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – [1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. It’s built on PRINCIPLE and does not demand but gives. Agape love even helps to ENSURE, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the vitality of the phileo and the EROS kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is a faith-based principle on the word of God – which is towards empowering people as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Notably, the PHILEO or EROS kinds of Love, need to be controlled and subjected by the AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder and affect our fellowship with God and leads to unwelcome SIN and sinful acts. [E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36]. 

Therefore, as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, let’s not just say we have love, but let’s go forth in the grace, and LIVE and WALK in the Holy Spirit default LOVE, knowing that love is of the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is given to only the Believer’s [reborn] of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17. 

Dear friend and beloved of God in Christ Jesus, just know it’s high time to LIVE and WALK in love. Let’s make it happen, for the charge – OCCUPY TILL I COME – as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the essence; and by the Holy Spirit of LOVE’S default, the Believers in Christ Jesus can then enhance earthly usefulness and the heavenly mindedness. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 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 5:17-21. 

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25. 

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF Christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19. 

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23/NKJV  

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” Ephesians 5:9/NKJV. 

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you pure and whole and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept complete and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/Amplified. 

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

ENSURING THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS

ENSURING THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: THE ASSURING ENABLING TO GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS! 

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keep us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead. 

And these BESTOWED graciousness and gracefulness essential acts are: 

  • The WORK of FAITH 
  • The LABOUR of LOVE 
  • The PATIENCE of HOPE 

It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousness and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace. 

This thus means that, you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betide you therein. 

And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousness and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively. 

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine. 

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine. 

“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, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12. 

“. . . 12 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. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.

RECEIVE THE ENGRAFTED [IMPLANTED] WORD WITH THE SPIRIT OF LOVE 

By Leave a Comment

RECEIVE THE ENGRAFTED [IMPLANTED] WORD WITH THE SPIRIT OF LOVE: IT WILL SAVE YOUR SOUL FROM EVERY RELIGIOUS MENACE! 

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we DO His commands [keep His ordinances and are MINDFUL of His precepts and teaching]. And these ORDERS of His are not irksome [burdensome, oppressive, taskmaster, slavery or grievous]” 1 John 5:3/Amplified Classic Edition. 

Do you want to be FREE from societal and religious menace to become a DOER of the WORD, and be BLESSED [EMPOWERED] in your deed? Then, RECEIVE the ENGRAFTED – IMPLANTED WORD of God in the spirit of His LOVE. Otherwise, it will be a burden and taskmaster to you, in doing life and living godly in the grace. For I know that RECEIVING the WORD in LOVE will transform you in the grace from being mistaken and living erroneously.  

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

There’s the need to be intentional and resolved in order to RECEIVE the ENGRAFTED [IMPLANTED] WORD of God into your heart, your spirit-man being, because I know it’s all that makes a difference in your world in the grace to be HEALED – being made WHOLE, and to be SAVED from all forms of DESTRUCTION; and to be a DOER of God’s WORD and enjoying the BLESSED [EMPOWERED] life in your work; and to succeed and be fulfilled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

If you’ve struggled to embrace God’s engrafted [implanted] WORD, now is the time to switch to a new default to RECEIVE it, it’s the default that’s EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit of Love, who is the Teacher, Interpreter and Translator and ever present Author of the WORD whenever you turn into it. [Romans 5:5; Romans 8:8-11; John 14:16-17, 26]. And much more, the Holy Spirit as your default, will enable you live and walk in the WORD effortlessly in the grace in faith in love. 

“For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the HOPE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE . . . 13 For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but THROUGH LOVE SERVE one another . . . 16 I say then: WALK in the Spirit, and you shall NOT FULFILL the lust of the FLESH [BODILY-RULED SENSES] . . . 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also Walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:5-6, 13, 16, 25. 

Beloved reader, know for sure, that it’s more BLESSED to RECEIVE God’s engrafted Word in our hearts by the Holy Spirit of Love, as it thus empowers one to be a DOER of the WORD with ease in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK [MEDITATE]. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:  

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 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 1:19-25. 

“He sent His WORD and HEALED them, And DELIVERED them from their DESTRUCTIONS” Psalms 103:20/NKJV. 

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper [Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby], to be with you forever— 17 the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive [and take to its heart] because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He [the Holy Spirit] remains with you continually and will be in you . . . 26 But the Helper [Comforter, Advocate, Intercessor—Counselor, Strengthener, Standby], the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will TEACH you all things. And He will help you remember everything that I have told you” John 14:16-17, 26/Amplifier Classic Edition.

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS: GARRISON YOUR HEARTS DILIGENTLY WITH GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS: GARRISON YOUR HEARTS DILIGENTLY WITH GRACE – THE ISSUES OF YOUR LIFE WELL-BEING DEPENDS ON IT! 

“GUARD your HEART ABOVE all else, for it DETERMINES the COURSE of your LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 NLT. 

As a man thinks so is he, the Scriptures says. You become the thoughts of your being over time. If you dwell on IMPURE THOUGHTS, soonest you become it. When you give your hearts to PURE THOUGHTS, you become the same. Therefore, garrison your hearts with pure thoughts diligently and live free from impurities. And FEED NOT ON IMPURE THOUGHTS TRANSMISSION from any, if you want the good health of your total well-being. 

“FOR AS HE THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE [in BEHAVIOR—one who MANIPULATES]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is BEGRUDGING the cost]” Proverbs 23:7/Amplified. 

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3. 

Make no relationship with person or people of impure thoughts, lest you become like them. A pure conscience and good heartedness and love unfeigned and sincere faith in God in Christ Jesus, should be your watchword. Let there be no intimate fellowship with anyone who devotes their life to solely IMPURE messages and information, through any media formats – written, audio, video or graphic [pictorial]. Soonest that seed of impurities will define your thinking process. 

“Unto the PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED AND UNBELIEVING IS NOTHING PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is DEFILED” Titus 1:15. 

Ensure you stop such person or group of IMPURE HEARTS and THOUGHTS from setting their messes on you before they ruin you. You may not be able to stop person’s or people from coming around you in some cases and causes, but you can stop them from leaving their IMPURE HEARTS and THOUGHTS transmission formats from getting into you. 

“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9. 

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16. 

Ensure you garrison your hearts with the WORD OF GRACE that will keep you safe in order to create a magnetic field and magnetic force that becomes your default to filter out and disallow any proximity and entrance of such defiled and impure messages into your hearts. 

“My son, give ATTENTION TO MY WORDS; INCLINE your EAR to my SAYINGS. 21. Do not let them DEPART from your EYES; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And HEALTH to all their flesh” Proverbs 4:20-22/NKJV. 

“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. 

Guard your hearts safely, for out of it are issues to define your well-being. For your life follows your thoughts. Your thoughts process your direction of life. BE SAFE from every adulteration that flies around you, no matter who may be transmitting it. It’s your life, and it’s within your will to say NO and NEVER – set your boundaries and be determined to ensure it irrespective – you are the custodian of your well-being in the grace! 

“KEEP [GUARD] thy HEART with all DILIGENCE [VIGILANCE]; for out of it ARE the ISSUES [SPRINGS] of LIFE” Proverbs 4:23/Emphasis Mine. 

I do hope and pray that you will intentionally resolve within you to keep at arm’s length any source or means of that which does not build your faith in God in Christ Jesus; and be resolved to keep at bay all that’ll be an avenue of stain, pollution, adulteration and disdain of the enemy and cohorts, in order for you to advance in the kingdom cause of God; and as you take the bull by the horns, it’s not just only necessarily for yourself but for all that concerns you, and those you love and cares about without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. 

Be blessed in the grace in your intentional resolve to have a pure conscience void of offence towards God and toward men in the grace. Live pure by staying pure from impure atmosphere. 

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

“And Jesus KNOWING their THOUGHTS said, Wherefore THINK ye EVIL [IMPURE] in your HEARTS?” Matthew 9:4/Emphasis Mine. 

“Now the PURPOSE of the commandment is LOVE from a PURE HEART, from a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and from SINCERE FAITH, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.” 1 Timothy 1:5-7/NKJV. 

“EAT thou not the BREAD of him that hath an EVIL EYE, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8. The MORSEL which thou hast EATEN shalt thou vomit up, AND LOSE THY SWEET WORDS” Proverbs 23:6-8. 

“But those things which PROCEED out of the MOUTH come forth from the HEART; and they DEFILE the man. 19 For out of the HEART PROCEED EVIL (IMPURE) THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man” Matthew 15:18-20/Emphasis Mine. 

“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. 

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are DESTROYING SOPHISTICATED ARGUMENTS and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up AGAINST the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every THOUGHT and PURPOSE captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified. 

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15/NIV.
