THIS MONTH DECEMBER: THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – IS BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED! 

“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 3:16. 

CHRIST JESUS – He’s the reason for the season. He’s the reason for the celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can be efficacious. And He’s THE WORD, the GOD MANIFEST in humanity [John 1:14]. The WORD that’s able to do wholesome division and separation, of the human spirit, soul and body respectively; and all creatures are laid before Him [THE WORD] to do life and live godly [Hebrews 4:12-13]. He’s THE WORD that the Holy Angel’s harkened unto in life and grace [Psalms 103:20]. He’s the sent one of the trinity God, who came for humanity good and goodness and there’s NO CONTROVERSY of any sorts about Him. 

“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God SENT forth His Son, MADE of a woman, MADE under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were UNDER the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:3-5. 

“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. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

For me, when you take away Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’. 

CHRISTMAS means – A yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s love to mankind in the birth of our Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus and His cause on earth. 

CHRIST means – The anointed one, Messiah, Saviour, The Redeemer and more; while MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate. 

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let’s commemorate and celebrate Him for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of: 

  • Peace and goodwill toward men 
  • Hope, Faith and Love for men 
  • Fellowship and Relationship  
  • Salvation for all mankind and more. 

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned. He’s no longer: 

  • The babe in the manger 
  • The servant to death 
  • The limited one and 
  • The Christ on the Cross. 

He’s now the: 

  • God on the throne 
  • Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful) 
  • Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and 
  • Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise). 

May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this month December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration.

“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God SENT forth His Son, MADE of a woman, MADE under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were UNDER the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons” Galatians 4:3-5.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 In him was LIFE; and the LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And the LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness COMPREHENDED it not . . .14 And THE WORD was MADE FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14 Emphasis Mine. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7. 

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING unto the voice of his WORD” Psalms 103:20. 

“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. 

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30. 

“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to nought: 7 but we speak THE WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY, even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE OF THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: “THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE” 

By Leave a Comment

LOVING GOD IN HIS LOVE TERMS: “THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE” – THE ‘LOVE’ OF THE SIXTH SENSE – CALLED AGAPE! 

There’s THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE, which operates by FAITH in God’s WORD – it’s called AGAPE LOVE. This love of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. It’s sustained and maintained by same Holy Spirit, hence it knows no stress, weariness or limited or conditioned by any ‘nesses; as such there’s NO room for selfishness, wickedness, maliciousness and greediness. It’s the love of God that transcends the five senses, called – THE SIXTH SENSE LOVE – THE LOVE BEYOND KNOWLEDGE. 

“And to KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SUPERCEDES, SURPASSES) KNOWLEDGE (Human Senses), that ye might be FILLED with ALL the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19/Emphasis Mine. 

HEREIN ARE FEW THINGS TO NOTE OF THE LOVE OF GOD BEYOND KNOWLEDGE: 

  • Its embodiments are HOPE and FAITH for functionality. 
  • It’s love built on principle, it’s intentional, unconditional and boundless. 
  • It transcends the natural or material worlds of the five senses. 
  • It’s the more excellent way to communicate to God and man in God’s terms. 
  • It enriches all things, transcends culture, religion, colour, tradition, generation and gender. Simply because it’s of God and God is love. 
  • It answers every quest of man, and it’s not fathom by the five senses or limited by it. 

Therefore, this LOVE of God is spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable and practicable; and it’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5, 8. 

And as you go about doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus, I PRAY that you will come to know and experience this love of God that’s – spiritual, likeable, loveable, liveable, practicable – and way beyond sentiments, prejudice, dissimulation, doctrine, denomination, sectarianism, colour, tongue and such like. The love that inspires, reveals, and empowers.  

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead.

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

“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. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, THE THINGS which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him” 1 Corinthians 2:9. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL WITNESS, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN of the dead, and THE PRINCE of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

“. . . 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 and TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST, WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE, that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19. 

“For 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. 

“Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1, 34-35.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, BUT BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US” Romans 5:5-8. 

“Let LOVE be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10. Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another . . .” Romans 12:9-21.

IT’S MONTH DECEMBER – THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP 

By Leave a Comment

IT’S MONTH DECEMBER – THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEALTHY FRIENDSHIP: ENSURING YOU HAVE A BETTER ENDING OF THE YEAR, AND NOT A BITTER ENDING TASTE! 

“I am CONVINCED and CONFIDENT of this very thing, that He who has BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU will [CONTINUE to] PERFECT and COMPLETE it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6/Amplified. 

It’s my heartfelt love and PRAYERS in the grace, that you have a better ending of the year, and not a bitter ending taste, as you’ve stepped into this month DECEMBER that’s entitled: “JESUS CHRIST OUR EMMANUEL – THE SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US IN THE GRACE!”. 

The Month DECEMBER, as we all know, is the Month TWELVE [12] of the Julian and Gregorian Calendar Months. It happens to be the last in the numerical Monthly count of the yearly numbering. Besides this knowing, there are other indications of the number TWELVE. Herein are few but not limited concept for your perusal: 

  • The number 12 is ubiquitous — it’s the number of months in a year, hours on a clock face and the number of members on a typical court jury. 
  • The number 12 is mentioned often in the New Testament of the Bible, such as Jesus’ selection of twelve [12] Disciples who became Apostles. That choice was deliberate, with each apostle representing to signals one of the 12 tribes of Israel. In most cases, number 12 is actually a representation of authority and perfection. 
  • This number can also represent the CHURCH and FAITH in general. It can also be used as a symbol of divine rule, and the symbol of the perfect government of God. 

More so, the month DECEMBER is a unique month in many ways and respect in terms of been the twelve months mentioned and described above. It’s also a gracious month to enhance the goodness and BLESSEDNESS of the BEAUTY of God’s redemptive work in humanity, as per the Scriptural writ of the month DECEMBER as theme and entitled: 

“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins . . . 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall CALL his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US” Matthew 1:18, 21, 23. 

And by the reason of the entitled theme for month December, I am using this special moment to SALUTE you as a FRIEND to this CROWNING, HAPPY, BLESSED and JESUS CHRIST – OUR EMMANUEL month DECEMBER that’s entitled – the month of enacting “OUR SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US” is the foundation and fundamental to build upon for today and tomorrow and to all eternity. 

And I strongly wish you also in this month DECEMBER, the God’s goodness and abundance, to CROWN the year in this celebration and consummation month of Christmas, and to have BETTER ENDING of the year, and not a BITTER ENDING as written: 

“BETTER is the END of a THING than the BEGINNING thereof: and the PATIENT in spirit is BETTER than the PROUD in spirit. 9. Be not HASTY in thy spirit to be ANGRY: for ANGER RESTETH IN THE BOSOM OF FOOLS. 10 SAY NOT THOU, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than THESE? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:8-10. 

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy paths drop FATNESS [ABUNDANCE]. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the WILDERNESS: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-23/Emphasis Mine. 

In this CONSUMMATION and CROWNING of the year of the Lord – DECEMBER 2025, you need to know that it’s not OVER yet until God says it’s OVER with you and for you, as in this entitled month of JESUS CHRIST OUR EMMANUEL! OUR SAVIOUR AND GOD WITH US ” in the grace. Therefore, don’t postpone and give up, or get angry and get upset, or get worried and close in, or close up and afraid, or to procrastinate to yourself on having a gracious and graceful ending by saying BETTER DAYS OR MONTH IS GONE; for by saying such, thus indicates not a WISE SCRIPTURAL SAYING and STATEMENT of exercise of faith in God’s ability to make it up for you. For having faith in God who is faithful to His promises to you even to the last seconds of the day is very important as written: 

“Let us seize and hold tightly the CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE WITHOUT WAVERING, for He who promised is RELIABLE and TRUSTWORTHY and FAITHFUL [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23/Amplified. 

“FAITHFUL and ABSOLUTELY TRUSTWORTHY is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will FULFILL His call by MAKING you holy, GUARDING you, WATCHING over you, and PROTECTING you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

There’s the need to hold forth unto the mystery of the faith and hope, in trusting in God’s faithfulness to His WORD irrespective of your circumstances; this vitality of our faith in the grace, wherein you stand in Him, should be ensured and assured, in order to make the BLESSEDNESS of God, which is of the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to become our reality and tangibility as promised.  

“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. 

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

I therefore rather ask you as a Believer of God in Christ Jesus stead to SAY to YOURSELF now and always for any dawn day: 

I AM GOING TO HAVE A BETTER ENDING AND NOT A BITTER ENDING WITH JESUS CHRIST MY EMMANUEL, MY SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US IN THE GRACE IN MONTH DECEMBER 2025. 

And More importantly, the knowing and understanding that EMMANUEL means the GOD WITH US, will be COMMEMORATED and CELEBRATED this Month DECEMBER, in order to enact – God’s LOVE for us as expressed in Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth – is an essence that should make you to rise up with me in hope and assurance in the faith, toward an onward and upward trajectory; and to shout out JOYFULLY with an EXCEEDINGLY great joy, by giving an outstanding Hurrah – HALLELUJAH; because you are still here and well and alive to witness and experience the day-in and day-out tangibility of God’s WORD, as it unfolds graciously and gracefully; thus, indicating your PURPOSE in life is still there to fulfil meaningfully by the Holy Spirit within, toward God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for GOOD for those who LOVE God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28-30/Amplified. 

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an INHERITANCE [a DESTINY—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who WORKS EVERYTHING in AGREEMENT with the COUNSEL and DESIGN of His will, [12] so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our CONFIDENCE in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified. 

“But as it is written, Eye hath not SEEN, nor ear HEARD, Neither have ENTERED into the Heart of man, The things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE Him. [10] But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH ALL THINGS, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

And for me, the Knowing that you’ve been very great in conduct on this FACEBOOK of the social media platforms without hinges as a friend through the days, weeks and months in the YEAR 2025; I just want to say ‘THANK YOU’ too, for being such special mannered human being, and to have being a well behaved individual, without contrasting to the decorum of respect for others, hence I can let you know that: 

GOD LOVES YOU AND CARES ABOUT YOU, AND EVEN SO DO I, IN HIS STEAD IN CHRIST JESUS – SAVIOUR AND LORD. AMEN. 

And it’s my earnest PRAYERS as I am yet Praying that you will end and close the Year 2025 of EMMANUEL MONTH DECEMBER, in a BETTER and STRONGER POSITION, and not in a BITTER and WEAKER POSITION. And you can say AMEN to God’s FAITHFULNESS with me if, and when you believe as said accordingly in Jesus Christ precious name. Amen. 

Therefore, WELCOME FRIENDS, to the CROWNING, HAPPY and BLESSED month of December 2025 in the Julian and Gregorian calendar months, and to the theme: JESUS CHRIST – OUR EMMANUEL, OUR SAVIOUR AND THE GOD WITH US. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS FOR THE COMMON GOOD 

By Leave a Comment

SIMPLE ACT OF KINDNESS FOR THE COMMON GOOD: IT’S GRACIOUS TO WILL AND PERFORM THE KINDLY WILL! 

“. . . 22 And it came to pass, that the BEGGAR DIED, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: THE RICH MAN ALSO DIED, and was buried. . .” Luke 16:19-31. 

And as the beggars died, so the rich man died also in the scripture context of Luke 16:19-31. Endeavour to read it in full to understand the context appropriately. And neither the beggar nor the rich took anything along while being buried. The rich man couldn’t used his wealth to buy himself from death, because death is inevitable to all; that’s while your goodness today, should speaks for you while alive, not in terms of pity to the have not, but with a sense of being intentional and pragmatic in response to show and live with every given opportunity, the good hearted and spirited act of kindness to others as opportunely shows up before you. 

“Even those who TRUST in and RELY on their WEALTH And BOAST of the ABUNDANCE of their RICHES? 7 None of them can by any means REDEEM [either HIMSELF or] HIS BROTHER, Nor give to God a RANSOM for him— 8 For the RANSOM of his soul is too COSTLY, And he should CEASE trying forever— 9 So that he should LIVE on ETERNALLY, That he should never see the PIT (GRAVE) and undergo decay.” Psalms 49:6-9/Amplified. 

The rich man had every opportunity to show kindness to the have not beggar, not out of pity but out of care, he never did, because he was full of himself. That’s the symptoms of the rich outside Christ Jesus [Luke 18:18-27; 1 Timothy 6:3-6, 9-10; Luke 12:13-21], and what the arrogant and proudly do, as a means to subjugate and control others. The simple spirit, of the little act of kindness was foreign to him. And like the poor needy beggar, he died leaving everything behind him. That’s the most pathetic life to live, when you have an opportunity to be of a great help to the actual needy one, not the entitlement, lazy and slothful and sluggard one’s I mean. 

“Make sure you don’t take things for granted and go slack in working for the COMMON GOOD; share what you have with others. God takes particular pleasure in acts of worship—a different kind of “sacrifice”—that take place in KITCHEN and WORKPLACE and on the STREETS” Hebrews 13:16/Message Bible. 

The scriptures enjoin us to help for the common good of all, so that there’s no lacking in our midst. Indicating that we should all bear our own burden firstly, but also be ready to bear each other burden, because having today does necessitates that you will always have all the way. And that’s while, when it’s within you, show the simple hearts of kindness, peradventure if you are not in places of having enough the good measures of the good hearted spirit may be shown to you in the grace. Showing simple hearts of kindness must not be done out of pity but out of care.  

“Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are SPIRITUAL [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to RESTORE such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. 2 CARRY ONE ANOTHER’S BURDENS and in this way you will fulfill the requirements of the law of Christ [that is, the law of Christian love] . . . 5 For every person will have to bear [with patience] his OWN BURDEN [of faults and shortcomings for which he alone is responsible] . . .10 So then, while we [as individual believers] have the OPPORTUNITY, let us do GOOD TO ALL PEOPLE [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH (born-again believers)” Galatians 6:1-10/Amplified. 

The simple hearts of kindness, sometimes it’s not just about monetary matters always, it could be visitations, rendering business ideas, physical manpower helps, counselling, creating job opportunities for others with your lots instead of storing and hoarding, helping the lonely in bereavement, the abandoned child or children and ophans, empowering the have not for a starts up, intercessory praying along for someone else comforts, helping hands to the elderly, widows and widower’s and many such like. The Scriptures calls it pure [unadulterated] religion. 

“If anyone thinks himself to be religious [scrupulously observant of the rituals of his faith], and does not control his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless (futile, barren). 27 PURE and UNBLEMISHED religion [as it is expressed in OUTWARD ACTS] in the sight of our God and Father is this: to VISIT and LOOK AFTER the fatherless and the widows in their DISTRESS, and to keep oneself UNCONTAMINATED by the [secular] world” James 1:26-27/Amplified. 

It’s of good spirit to be willing to care. The scriptures enjoin that we do all we can to ensure [perform] it. You don’t have to start big or wish big to make significance. A heart of faithfulness in good will starts up will lead to greater heights in an onward and upward trajectory in the path of goodness to the fellow man. You can make that your willingness becomes a performance today to fulfill the scripture as written: 

“Now therefore PERFORM the doing of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that which ye have” 2 Corinthians 8:11. 

I learned to give as God provides in His providence, not because I have it accumulated somewhere, but because I know exactly how it is and feels to have nothing. Do you feel same way or you are off the same attitude of the rich man who wasn’t there to help the beggar in need by his opportunity to help.  

It’s my earnest PRAYERS today that you have a changed hearts to be a vessel of use to show a simple hearted spirit of kindness to those about you without waiting for a special asking when you can see through such need and you are capable to fill the vacuum and help, not out of pity but out of care, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Be blessed in the grace as you make yourself available towards the good and goodness of others irrespective.

“Now therefore PERFORM the doing of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that which ye have” 2 Corinthians 8:11. 

“There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 and there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the BEGGAR DIED, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the RICH MAN ALSO DIED, and was BURIED; 23 and in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: 28 for I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead” Luke 16:19-31.

PLAN – PURPOSE – PURSUIT: LIFE IS SIMPLE – ONLY WHEN YOU PURSUE A PURPOSEFUL PLAN! 

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

“The ENTRANCE of thy words GIVETH light [illumination, enlightenment]; It giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:130. 

Do you want to pursue something in life without sweat and effortless in the grace? Do you have a plan to go about it? Do you have a purpose that’s embedded by the word of God concerning your plan that will need your pursuit? I am asking you these questions because I know how much, many wants to be a winner otherwise successful in their life endeavours but without acts of process to get there and become it. I have seen over my life time and still counting, the craziness and drive of many wanting to be something which it’s actually possible under God by the reason of our redemption, but they don’t want to go through the PROCESS [PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT] to become the MASTERY of their earnest desires. And unfortunately, to many of them, they end up crashing while those that survived, compromised their faith for their temporary success that’s without meaningful fulfilment. 

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS [PREPARATIONS] of the heart belong to man, But the [wise] answer of the tongue is from the Lord . . . [3] Commit your WORKS to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], And your PLANS will SUCCEED [if you respond to His will and guidance]. [4] The Lord has made everything for its own PURPOSE, Even the wicked [according to their role] for the day of evil . . . [9] A man’s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord directs his steps and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1-9/Amplified.  

“The STEPS [PATHS] of a good man are ORDERED by the LORD: And he delighteth in his way” Psalms 37:23. 

“Man’s STEPS [GOINGS] are ORDERED and ORDAINED by the Lord. How then can a man [fully] UNDERSTAND his way? [25] It is a trap for a man to [speak a vow of consecration and] say rashly, “It is holy!” And [not until] afterward consider [whether he can FULFILL it]” Proverbs 20:24-25/Amplified. 

“O Lord, I know that the PATH of [life of] a man is not in himself; It is not within [the limited ability of] man [even one at his best] to choose and direct his steps [in life]” Jeremiah 10:23/Amplified. 

God earnest desires for you, is not just to prosper you but for you to have a good success. Just think about that for a moment. And He’s God, the one that has created you, and He’s the one that had ordered and has ordained the paths and ways of man. He wants you to prosper, to be in health, as your soul prospers, but through the path He had set for you. In the kingdom, there’s a process to achieving good success with God. It’s not just about our willingness to winning in life and godliness in the grace, but about being fulfilled in God through Christ Jesus, purposefully and meaningfully. You will discover that in the grace, life is so much simplified when we have a set process to make our earnest desires to become the reality that’s scriptural set for us. 

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

“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 1:2/Amplified. 

Every genuine believing born of God child in Christ Jesus must know that whatever have NO PROCESS to mastery is a scam and a fraud. God does miracles, but miracles of God are the consequences of His WORD, and are not by wishy-washy dreaming or by magical or sorcery or divining spells, to make it happen overnight, and it’s neither by adulteration and distortion of any form. MASTERY comes through a process – a set plan, purpose and pursuits that creates, innovates, explore, initiates and such like. 

“Do you not know that in a RACE all the RUNNERS run [their very BEST TO WIN], but only one RECEIVES the prize? Run [your race] in such a way that you may seize the prize and make it yours! [25] Now every athlete who [goes into training and] COMPETES in the games is DISCIPLINED and EXERCISES SELF-CONTROL in all things. They do it to WIN a CROWN that withers, but we [do it to receive] an imperishable [crown that cannot wither]. [26] Therefore I do not run without a definite goal; I do not flail around like one beating the air [just shadow boxing]. [27] But [like a boxer] I STRICTLY DISCIPLINE MY BODY and make it my slave, so that, after I have PREACHED [the gospel] to others, I myself will not somehow be DISQUALIFIED [as UNFIT for service]” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27/Amplified. 

The victory to overcome the world’s system of dealings is by Faith. Faith is by the WORD of God. And God’s word is operative by a process that’s built on principles and not by a wishy-washy act of scam and fraud to make it great. And the principles of God embodied His plans, purpose and pursuits for His children. God’s plan is to see you have a hope and a future but within His purpose for the individual and for the collective body in the grace. And God’s word is the source and resource for His plan and purpose to become a reality in pursuit. And by Faith the word becomes operative to overcome the world and its system of operandi. 

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

“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. 

In the kingdom, it’s not about the ends that justify the means, but it’s rather the means that justify the ends, this thus means the process determines the effect in the now and for all eternity. Knowing the essence of the life that we have now and the life to come in the grace, we can therefore endeavour [make effort] in all our delights to ensure and be assured that God’s purpose is never undermined in the grace. Hence, when we ensure the need to till to become, that’s to cultivate by the process to earn our earnest desires, we will also get the satisfaction, the meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in our goings and doings.  

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: But he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11. 

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY of bread: But he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. [21] To have respect of persons is not good: For for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. [22] He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, And considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22. 

So, if you desire to win, succeed, prosper, be more than conqueror, be an overcomer and such like, the only likelihood is by the Kingdom process, know today that it’s by the principles of God’s Word and not by a set methods of wishy-washy or by doctrinal liabilities, or by denomination creeds. It’s the word that’s the essence to having a principle and a good purpose to become what you want to be accordingly. 

And it’s by the PLAN – PURPOSE – PURSUIT that makes LIFE SIMPLE, WHEN YOU PURSUE A PURPOSEFUL PLAN in God’s ORDAINED and ORDERED path to bring you to the place of His FULNESS. Let God order your path today. Give Him the opportunity in your life. Enough of the haste, scam and fraud lifestyle as path to become or have something that’s temporary instead of God’s gracious opportunity that has both present and eternal effect in you through processing you along to the expected ends. 

“But the PATH of the JUST [RIGHTEOUS] is as the shining light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18. 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of life: In thy presence is fulness of joy; At thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11. 

“Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16. 

You are born to WIN, but to be a WINNER, you have to PLAN to WIN, you have to be PREPARED [PROCESS] to WIN, and you have to EXPECT to WIN, in purpose and pursuit. THINK!  

I pray that you go forth in the process and processing of God’s plan, purpose, and pursuit, becoming all that God has planned for you, and achieving all things together in the grace of our Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the heart belong to man, But the [wise] answer of the tongue is from the Lord . . . 3 COMMIT your works to the Lord [submit and trust them to Him], And your PLANS will succeed [if you respond to His will and guidance] . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him . . . 9 A man’s mind PLANS his way [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS his STEPS and ESTABLISHES them” Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9/Amplified. 

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for peace and well-being and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/Amplified. 

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified. 

“. . . 11 In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:3-12/Amplified. 

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

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this END was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE

LOVE DOES HEALS AND KEEPS ONE HEALTHILY ALIVE: APPLY THE LOVE MEDICINAL TODAY BY INCREASING THE DOSAGE! 

“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. 

“And from Jesus Christ, the FAITHFUL and trustworthy Witness, the Firstborn of the dead, and the Ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who [always] LOVES us and who [has once for all] FREED us [or WASHED us] from our sins by His own blood (His sacrificial death)— [Psalms 89:27] [6] and FORMED us into a KINGDOM [as His subjects], PRIESTS to His God and Father—to Him be the glory and the power and the majesty and the dominion forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/Amplified [Exodus 19:6; Isaiah 61:6]. 

It’s high time you top up and increase your LOVE DOSAGE. God LOVES you – “. . . GO AND DO LIKEWISE” in every circumstances of doing life and living godly. That’s what our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity told the self-righteous and self-justifying lawyer who questioned Him about the law, specifically the second commandment to love one’s neighbour, which fulfils the essence of the Ten commandments summed up into two as written. 

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, what is written in the law? how READEST thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY STRENGTH, and with ALL THY MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? . . . . 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37. 

When you begin to love God in Christ Jesus stead, and love yourself in Him, and love others [neighbours] irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in every aspect of human relationships, you create a default for a healthy living – knowingly and unknowingly toward God and His Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit, and toward your humanity. 

“Let LOVE be WITHOUT DISSIMULATION [HYPOCRISY]. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour preferring one another” Romans 12:9-10/Emphasis Mine. 

If you think you are struggling, top up your FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus with the love lubricant, and you will experience the graciousness and gracefulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS beyond your wildest imagination. And to top up, it’s by the indwelling Holy Spirit of God, by which our Father God has lavished His love in our hearts to love unreservedly, intentionally and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED [LAVISHED] out in our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us. 6 For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. 8 But God DEMONSTRATES His own LOVE toward us, in that while WE WERE STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8. 

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE ONE ANOTHER. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14. 

Living and walking in LOVE as God has loved us in Christ Jesus, is all we need earnestly now as a default in order to obtain the leverage over that mountain that tends to stop us in our path of living purposefully and gracefully in the FULNESS of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you intentionally top up your LOVE dosage in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“But the END of ALL THINGS is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. 8 And ABOVE ALL THINGS have FERVENT LOVE for one another, for “LOVE will cover a MULTITUDE of SINS” 1 Peter 4:7-8. 

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being ROOTED and GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and LENGTH and DEPTH and HEIGHT— 19 to KNOW THE LOVE of Christ which PASSES [TRANSCENDS] KNOWLEDGE [MERE SENSUAL KNOWLEDGE]; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/NKJV/MINE EMPHASIS. 

“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. 

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (HYPOCRISY). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly AFFECTIONED one to another with BROTHERLY LOVE; in honour PREFERRING one another; 11 not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:9-21/Emphasis Mine. 

“And, behold, a CERTAIN LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to INHERIT eternal life? 26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with ALL THY HEART, and with ALL THY SOUL, and with ALL THY STRENGTH, and with ALL THY MIND; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself. 28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. 29 But he, willing to JUSTIFY himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? 30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves? 37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

God’s LOVE Plan: To Give You A HOPEFUL Today

God’s LOVE Plan: To Give You A HOPEFUL Today, A GRACIOUS And GRACEFUL Tomorrow! 

“For I KNOW the PLANS I have for you, declares the Lord, PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you HOPE and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:12/NIV. 

God’s PLAN for your Life is REAL, GENUINE and TANGIBLE; and His purposeful PLAN is to give you a hope for today and future for your tomorrow. He’s the God of the now in Christ Jesus, therefore, don’t let any tell you otherwise. Much more, God loves you unconditionally and irrespective of anything – and that’s why you can’t afford to live otherwise or settle for an alternative that’s counterfeit, adulterated, fake or masqueraded, like sectarianism and religiosity. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

Herein are two thoughts to consider here but not limited: 

  • FIRSTLY – God loves you in spite of whatsoever is going on right now in your life. 
  • SECONDLY – Are you low or beneath in life in your onward and upward trajectory in altitude? You need to know that you are still God’s best, and His intent is to give you a hopeful today and a blessed future in life and godly living; and His grace to make it possible are available and irrevocable. He loves you and cares about you no matter how your day, week, month and year has been, especially this year per se. 

You need to rise up, dust off and tidy up yourself, raise up your head, look upward, adjust your shoulders, shake off your limitations, put on your heels of faith in Christ Jesus and see the dawning of a new you in the eyes of God’s LOVE, to make it good for you now and always. 

Say to yourself, I am God’s best and showcase, and I will not fail, because God has never failed and will not fail, and He won’t begin with me now. Amen! 

I PRAY for God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS to abound the more with you, to advance the Kingdom Cause of God in your life, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead and precious name. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has BEGUN a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]” Philippians 1:6/Amplified. 

“For I KNOW the PLANS I have for you, declares the Lord, PLANS to PROSPER you and not to harm you, PLANS to give you HOPE and a FUTURE” Jeremiah 29:12/NIV. 

“Let not thine heart ENVY sinners: but be thou in the FEAR of the Lord all the day long. 18 FOR SURELY THERE IS AN END; AND THINE EXPECTATION SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF. 19 Hear thou, my son, and be WISE, and GUIDE thine HEART in the way” Proverbs 23:17-19. 

“My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: 14 so shall the KNOWLEDGE OF WISDOM be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, AND THY EXPECTATION SHALL NOT BE CUT OFF” Proverbs 24:13-14.

LIVE TO FORGIVE – JUSTIFY AND EMBRACE 

By Leave a Comment

LIVE TO FORGIVE – JUSTIFY AND EMBRACE: IT’S AN ANTIDOTE TO BITTERNESS, WRATH, RANCOUR AND UNANSWERED PRAYERS – APPLY IT TODAY! 

“And WHENEVER you STAND praying, if you have anything AGAINST anyone, FORGIVE him, that your Father in heaven may also FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if you do NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father in heaven FORGIVE your trespasses” Mark 11:25-26. 

God did not only FORGIVES us our SIN but does forgives us every now and always in our sinful nature shortfalls in Christ Jesus. And to ensure and assure it, He JUSTIFIED us and EMBRACED us that we might have ACCESS in His grace and walk daily before Him in FREEDOM – without shame, fear, torments and condemnation. THINK ABOUT IT! It WORTH everything in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. That’s why it’s unhealthy to be anchoring for God’s FREEDOM while you allow the former FLESHY-RULE and BODILY-RULE of BITTERNESS, WRATH, RANCOUR and SUCH LIKE, to still play a part in your walk with God. Living in the grace of God has boundaries avoid him in order to protect the FREEDOM that’s embedded in it. 

“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 . . . 5 and hope maketh not ASHAMED; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:1-2, 5-8. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore KEEP STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/Amplified. 

God in His plight of FORGIVENESS, He called us to a place of FELLOWSHIP to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with us and to ensure that we have a meaningful and fulfilling purpose – that’s enough reason to live daily; more so, gave us freedom by liberating us from the yoke of our old self so that we can live without being ashamed, self-condemnation, feel guilty or embarrassed and any of such like; and it’s because of His lovingkindness that surpasses and transcends all measures of wrong doings against Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].  

It also means that RESENTING whomever won’t help you. You can’t RESENT the person you INTENTIONALLY PRAY to God about FOR their good and goodness, if you genuinely BELIEVE God for an ANSWER to your prayers; because it’s bondage of lies to say you are praying for someone while holding grudges and bitterness and resentment. It’s not logical to know, that you will be entangled in SELF BONDAGE and BITTERNESS, WRATH, RANCOUR and ANGER when you don’t genuinely PRAY FOR the good and goodness of the person with hope and expectations of God’s answers, but instead you PRAY AGAINST the one you are intending or already RESENTING as the Holy writ enjoined to be unscriptural to the perfect [complete, wholeness, maturity] expectation of God from His children – [Matthew 5:38-48; Matthew 18:15-20]. It’s simply because we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the heavenly places. [Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6]. Hence, our priorities must be set alright if we must enjoy our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. 

Genuine FREEDOM is only possible if you commit to pray for the one that hurts you. You can’t be taking PAIN RELIEVER for another’s ache in BITTERNESS, WRATH and UNANSWERED PRAYERS. So, get out of your high horse and do the scriptural wise thing. 

May God give you the enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS to live FREE in Christ Jesus stead in every way scripturally Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, LOVE AS BRETHREN, BE PITIFUL, BE COURTEOUS: 9 NOT RENDERING EVIL FOR EVIL, OR RAILING FOR RAILING: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. 10 For he that will LOVE LIFE, AND SEE GOOD DAYS, LET HIM REFRAIN HIS TONGUE FROM EVIL, AND HIS LIPS THAT THEY SPEAK NO GUILE: 11 LET HIM ESCHEW EVIL, AND DO GOOD; LET HIM SEEK PEACE, AND ENSUE IT. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the RIGHTEOUS, and his EARS ARE OPEN unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 3:8-12. 

“And WHENEVER you STAND praying, if you have anything AGAINST anyone, FORGIVE him, that your Father in heaven may also FORGIVE you your trespasses. 26 But if you do NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father in heaven FORGIVE your trespasses” Mark 11:25-26. 

“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 

“Moreover if thy brother shall TRESPASS AGAINST thee, GO and TELL him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast GAINED thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican” Matthew 18:15-17. 

“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. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8: 28-30. 

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

“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 6:12. 

“For though we WALK IN THE FLESH, we do not WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 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” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

MARRIAGE – A COVENANT OF GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS 

By Leave a Comment

MARRIAGE – A COVENANT OF GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS: A CALLING TO INHERIT A BLESSING AND FULFIL GOD’S PURPOSE! 

“Whoso FINDETH a wife FINDETH A GOOD THING, and obtaineth FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:22 

Your MARRIAGE is BLESSED and not CURSE – that’s when you see [envision] it from the EYES of the SCRIPTURES and not from the EYES of MAN-MADE TRADITION, SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and such like. For the Scripture says from the beginning that God intentionally BLESSED them – male and female. Marriage is BLESSED and EMPOWERED with divine PURPOSE, and none living within the Scriptural marital stand of God is cursed. It’s your choice to believe God’s word or to allow circumstances and society and others to define your stand in marriage – knowingly and unknowingly. And eventually, you will become whom and what you believe in marital context and content. 

“And God said, Let us MAKE MAN in our image, after our likeness: and let THEM have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God CREATED he him; MALE and FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God SAID unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28. 

For marriage is a divine institution of grace; and much more, a CALLING of God in Christ Jesus stead, for all who believe in the divine setting to INHERIT the BLESSING [FAVOUR] of God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus; and the couples, as heirs of God, can share the blessedness of the common grace of life and godliness; and whose PRAYERS are and can be effectual without obstruction and unhindered by any means as they live unreservedly and intentionally in scriptural consciousness. 

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the grace of life; that your PRAYERS be not HINDERED . . . 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:7, 9. 

God MADE marriage, as such, only by Him through His WORD it does work to the fulness in life and grace. In God, your marriage is good and blessed and not curse. Get your marriage CONNECTED and SYNCHRONISED with God in Christ Jesus stead and not to religion sectarianism and denominationalism and such like. Begin now to see your marriage and marital relationship from the perspective of God in order to obtain and actualise your promised favour and to inherit your blessed BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 7 As being HEIRS together of the GRACE of LIFE; that your PRAYERS be not HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, LOVE as BRETHREN, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that YE ARE thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their prayers: but the FACE of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12. 

“SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the FEAR of God. 22 Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your OWN husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, LOVE your wives, even as Christ also LOVED the church, and GAVE himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

DESPISE NOT YOUR BEGINNING

DESPISE NOT YOUR BEGINNING: GREAT AND GREATER HEIGHTS HAD A START UP POINT! 

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER END should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7. 

Your DAWN DAY has come – make it count and account for your good and goodness in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Hence you don’t have to DESPISE YOUR BEGINNING because GREAT and GREATER HEIGHTS always had a START UP POINT. Every mighty flowing river had a start up point. Your greatness is embedded in your start up, therefore enjoy it and celebrate it irrespective. It takes a seed to make a tree that makes the forest. God gives us a baby and not an adult at start. Just as it takes a seed to make a baby that makes a family that makes a community that makes a nation and a society in terms. 

“For who hath DESPISED the DAY of SMALL THINGS? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth” Zechariah 4:10. 

Don’t ever GIVE UP, FAINT, GO WEARY and LOOSE HEARTS in life for anything – no matter how SMALL the size of that your START UP may look like, in human’s view and conditions. And you may possibly be at the edge of your breakthrough and breaking forth into a NEW HEIGHTS and HORIZON in life at this moment, so keep on keeping on in that onward and upward trajectory that you are so ASSURED of God in it in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“WHATSOEVER thy hand FINDETH to DO, DO it with thy MIGHT; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” Ecclesiastes 9:10. 

You need to ensure and assure yourself in your given and assigned trajectory, that you and God are in partnership, and in it together; and you both are great team, and it’s not just for success and excellent story, but of a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilment in life and godly living in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

It’s time to make your new dawn count and account for your good and goodness, in every way, in Christ Jesus. Amen. And in Christ Jesus stead, I see you ATTAIN such onward and upward trajectory heights by God’s enabling grace in His BLESSEDNESS. Amen. 

Therefore, keep that opportunity alive in being consistently consistent in your journey of doing life and living godly as it affects you in any and all of these: Marital, Family, Relationships, Business, Career, Trade, Leadership, Governance, Gospel Ministry, Charitable Cause and such like. 

DESPISE NOT YOUR BEGINNING FOR GREAT AND GREATER HEIGHTS HAD A START UP POINT! 

Blessed regards in all you do to fulfill purpose meaningfully and to ADVANCE God’s CAUSE on earth and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, in doing life and living godly by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
