THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE IN THE GRACE: IT’S A BLESSED MARRIAGE!

“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 3:9.

The scripture declares that He that finds a wife, finds a BLESSED [good, precious, gracious, lovely, admirable etc] thing and is qualified to obtain FAVOUR [BLESSEDNESS] from the Lord. What an incredible scriptural endowment and enduement upon the Believing marriage couple in the grace. And it’s simply because they are purposefully CALLED into the marriage to INHERIT a BLESSING as 1 Peter 3:9 enjoins. That’s why every believing couple in the grace should raise their heads up, shoulders high and on their highest heels of faith, because THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE is BLESSED in the grace. That’s why you must daily and continuously speak forth healthy and gracious words to your relationship as Jesus do speak forth while in humanity [Luke 4:22]. You can’t be speaking cursed words and swear words and regrettable words to your spouse in the grace and want the blessedness of God to be materialised, actualised and be fruitful at the same time in the grace. You must be intentional and pragmatic to speak forth healthy and gracious words of faith, hope and love to your spouse to keep the blessedness, thereby over time and time and time, you see the relationship blossom, refreshed, rejuvenated, rekindled, synergised, flavoured and such like. Your words on what God has favoured you in His BLESSEDNESS is gracious to enhance your placement in THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE in the grace.

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 22 Whoso findeth a WIFE findeth a Good Thing, and OBTAINETH FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22.

“And all bare Him [Jesus Christ] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“A GOOD MAN out of the GOOD TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is GOOD; and an EVIL MAN out of the EVIL TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is EVIL: for of the ABUNDANCE of the HEART his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 66:45 [Matthew 12:33-35].

The Believer’s marriage in Christ Jesus is BLESSED in the grace irrespective. That’s the divine default set from the begining of marriage creation by Father God. And it’s irrespective on how you feel about it or think about it or believe in it or live in it and such like context you may hold toward it. And it’s not cursed or a cursed thing or anything as such as unnecessary evil as some may think or perhaps have attributed in their world and context. I just want  you to know without a shadow of doubt that the creator God that made marriage is able to keep it and sustain it through all phases in the grace if we let Him be in charge as by His purpose and design in the Holy writ.

For God in marriage creation, He BLESSED them [Adam and Eve] when He set the marriage purpose in place. It’s only what and how people do with the blessedness of God in the grace in Christ Jesus, that can make it be a desired blessing as in the scriptural default otherwise it can become to them by the alternative context as it may seem to be to them as if it’s a cursed or a cursed thing or the attributed unnecessary evil by the ignorance of the scriptures.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [MISTAKENLY, ERRONEOUSLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis mine.

Indeed, in scriptural context as of God, the Believer’s marriage in the grace is BLESSED. God has Blessed marriage by every measure and there’s no controversy for the believing one in the grace that lets God’s purpose and essence to be their DE FACTO in the marital journey.

“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.

In God’s BLESSEDNESS, to be [being] BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to succeed, to achieve, to become and to prosper in the grace. For THE BLESSING of God is to enrich [make rich] and He adds no sorrow, regrets and setbacks to it. And the blessing of God is not physical per se, for anyone to be able to temper with its nature, or to adulterate it, or to pervert it, or to fake it, or to camouflage it, or distort it even though the devil and cohorts have tried severally. That doesn’t mean the devil and its cohorts have not tried severally to undermine the integrity of the Believer’s marriage in the grace, thereby ensuring that the BLESSEDNESS of God is shunted and disbelieved. Unfortunately, because THE BLESSING of God is authentic, it has stood the test of time, enriching all who hold it dearly as promised.

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

The blessedness of the believing one is located and stored in the heavenly to avoid thieves and robbers; it’s there, wherein Christ Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father God and by grace we are therein seated at His right hand by the right hand of the Father God; and as such, no thief and robber can break in to devour the blessed treasure that the believing one in Christ Jesus is endowed and endued with in the grace, as a possession in redemption.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath RAISED us up together, and MADE us SIT together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:19-21.

The believing ones, the seed of Abraham by faith are blessed in the grace. And THE BLESSING of God is empowered by the Holy Spirit given to us in the grace, to empower and actualise in redemption towards everything that pertains to doing life and living godly [godliness] in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians” 3:-9, 13-14.

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified.

And THE BLESSING of God for the believing seed of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus, is beyond walls – for its firstly in the realm of the spirit of grace for our earthly utilisation; and as such there’s no colour, no gender, no tribe, no tongue and such like limitations to any, on the BLESSEDNESS of God as to the Believer’s marriage and in every aspect of doing life and living godly by the believing one in Christ Jesus stead. For redemption is for all and it cuts across – kindred, tongue and nations – as it enriches all that believe of God’s salvation and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, don’t think that your marriage isn’t blessed at all because of any geography, tongue, gender, colour and location and such like.

“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 they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“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.

The assurance of God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace is found by – marrying the believing person you love . . . And loving the believing person you married . . . For, that’s what gives the believing one the synergy that keeps relationship thriving and flourishing, refreshing and blossoming, rekindling and rejuvenating in the grace . . . For it’s as the love light keeps glowing in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. The Believer’s marriage is BLESSED in the grace; you need to believe God’s Scriptural context rather than your feelings or what you see or experience and such like. It’s because, accessing the blessedness of the Believer’s marriage in the grace is by firstly acknowledging the measure of the grace and the measure of the grace that’s attributed to your relationship in the grace to be of blessing and not a curse.

“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.

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

The blessedness of the the Believer’s marriage in the grace is not only in believing but in communicating [speaking it forth in the grace, for out of the abundance of the heart believe, the mouth speaks forth in the grace in Faith]. Because our warfare and battle are of faith. The devil and cohorts are working 24/7 trying to engage with us on our faith journey. For the enemy knows that if one can deny the faith, then he can achieve and accomplish his purpose.

“That the communication of thy FAITH may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

Like everything under the sun and in the world that God has made, there will be challenging times and difficulties in the marriage at various phase of progression in the marriage. There will be times of serious indifference and doubt and disputing in the relationship – but it’s the couple’s responsibility to see all as ISSUES and not PERSONS. So that they can together deal with the issues as they see it instead of attacking each other’s persons thereby giving way to distortion in the default marital blessing in the grace. The enemy and cohorts we know, the world system and it’s challenge we see, the flesh [pride of life, lust of the eyes, desires of the flesh] in us, and the religion [religiosity we display, denomination doctrines we hold to, sectarianism  and dogmas] will rise up against our faith in the marital grace. We must choose our battle, for we are only allowed to fight the good fight of faith and good warfare at all times. And when we have this understanding, we can then ensure our blessedness in the grace.

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

Therefore, I COMMEND you to God and to the word of His Grace that will build you up and give you an INHERITANCE in the grace, to take a stand in the grace, and start a new you in an onward and upward trajectory, assured as you ensure that you as a believer, your believer marriage is favoured and blessed and irrespective of the sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation about you now or tomorrow.

I pray you into God’s enabling grace to enjoy your marital BLESSEDNESS in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; he will be satisfied with the consequence of his words. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. 22 He who finds a [true and faithful] wife FINDS a good thing and obtains FAVOR and APPROVAL from the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22/Amplified.

“. . . 7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your PRAYERS WILL NOT BE HINDERED or INEFFECTIVE. 8 Finally, all of you be like-minded [united in spirit], sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted [courteous and compassionate toward each other as members of one household], and humble in spirit; 9 and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been CALLED for this very purpose, that you might INHERIT a BLESSING [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection]. 10 For, “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit). 11 “He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right. He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it]. 12 “For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), and His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer), but the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/Amplified.

“Being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house]. 25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless. 28 Even so husbands should and are morally obligated to love their own wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members (parts) of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church. 33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear]” Ephesians 5:21-33/Amplified.

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER

There’s HEALING And An ANSWER: It’s TIME To PRAY And Not To PLAY And FAINT!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (WEARY, GIVE UP, LOSE HEART”) Luke 18:1(Emphasis Mine).

When you are against the WALLS of personal, family and national ECONOMIC CRISIS, PANDEMIC, DISEASES and WAR EFFECTS, and such like NATURAL or MAN-MADE disasters –  you need no special vision or Prophet to inform you that you need to CONNECT to the HEAVENLY in order to resolve your EARTHLY affairs.

There’s ALWAYS an ANSWER to the Human problem – and PRAYER makes  ALL the DIFFERENCE – it’s time to give it a GO as in the Bible days of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, when there ARE:

  • NO RAIN – Meaning NO – job, productivity, employment, opportunities, creativity, innovation, and side effects of no more – love, joy, peace, happiness as should be . . .
  • DEVOURING LOCUST – Meaning No productivity, economic meltdown, business/company closure, financial indebtedness, and personal or national economic decline, the powerful eating up the poor and more – injustice, war, hunger, corruption and such like.
  • PESTILENCE/EPIDEMICS/PANDEMIC – Meaning Sickness and Diseases of ALL sorts that can kill and ruin lives, make stagnant and maim one’s life with pains, suffering and more as epidemic and pandemic of any sorts.

IT’S TIME TO GENUINELY PRAY AND NOT PLAY and FAINT [OR BE WEARY, GIVE UP] – THERE IS ALREADY AN ECONOMIC EFFECT GRADUALLY SIPPING IN AS A RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC AND WAR EFFECTS ON NATIONS.

WATCH and PRAY before you BECOME a VICTIM instead of a VICTOR.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“WATCH and PRAY, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” Matthew 26:41.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to DEVOUR the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and not to FAINT (WEARY, GIVE UP, LOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1(Emphasis Mine).

“PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“But the END OF ALL THINGS IS AT HAND: be ye therefore sober, and WATCH UNTO PRAYER” 1 Peter 4:7.

“Continue in PRAYER, and WATCH in the same with THANKSGIVING” Colossians 4:2.

“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire; 2 and had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way. 3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 4 Then David and the people that were with him LIFTED UP THEIR VOICE AND WEPT, UNTIL THEY HAD NO MORE POWER TO WEEP. 5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 6 And David was GREATLY DISTRESSED; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 8 And David ENQUIRED at the Lord, saying, Shall I PURSUE after this troop? shall I overtake them? And He ANSWERED him, PURSUE: for thou shalt surely OVERTAKE them, AND WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL . . . 18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives. 19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David RECOVERED ALL. 20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil . . .” 1 Samuel 30:1-31.

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY

By Leave a Comment

THE PROPHET AND THE PROPHECY: ANY PROPHECY MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS!

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP him. And he said unto me, See thou DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

It’s time to wake up from your SLUMBERING and WANDERING desire to be seeking for a PROPHECY instead of seeking for the Lord God of PROPHECY in Christ Jesus stead. And ENOUGH of that FOOLISHNESS, IGNORANCE and STUPIDITY. You must come to know that no matter who DARE speaks into your life as a MAN OR ANGEL and such like, on THAT so called and acclaimed PROPHECY or PROPHETIC MESSAGE, MUST CONNOTE THE TESTIMONY of JESUS in your Life – What Christ has DONE, is DOING and will do THROUGH you in His Word by the blessed Holy Spirit that’s given and living within you. The Testimony of God in Christ Jesus wherein you have a better and done – ACCESS, PROMISE, COVENANT, RELATIONSHIP, FELLOWSHIP and such like. That’s the HOW TO MEASURE and SECTION the TRUE and GENUINE spirit of PROPHECY. For the message is to EDIFY, EXHORT And COMFORT. Anything else especially attracting FEAR and THREATS in all its ramifications is false and falsehood no matter who speaks or is speaking. Be a Victor and not a victim especially in your vulnerable moment. It’s not about the NOISE but the WORD of God in graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, OR AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH (PROPHESY) any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/Emphasis Mine.

The Holy Scripture is graciously clear about the spirit of PROPHECY for the New Creation in Christ Jesus. It’s about the TESTIMONY of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in us. It must AFFIRM gracefully to the Holy Spirit WITHIN you by THE WORD in God’s love and not to intimidate and undermine your place in Christ Jesus stead.

“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 14:17.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

Godly inspired PROPHECY is about TESTIFYING, AFFIRMING, DECLARING and PROCLAIMING the TESTIMONY of our FAITH on what Jesus has done, is doing and will do in your life by THE WORD and HOLY SPIRIT, which connotes EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT.

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

It thus means that a GENUINE PROPHET with PROPHECY and is PROPHESYING is the one that graciously and gracefully ministers and speaks to people unto EDIFICATION in order to promote their spiritual growth in wisdom, devotion, holiness and joy of the Lord; he speaks also WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT to uphold and advise concerning the matters of God; and he speaks WORDS OF CONSOLATION to compassionately comfort in all matters of LIFE and GODLINESS (Godly Living).

And in all these, it MUST be without acts of FEAR and THREAT and GAINS. For God has not given us the spirit of FEAR, THREAT and INTIMIDATION [2 Timothy 1:7]. And God’s perfect love of Christ in PROPHECY cast out every element of FEAR and TORMENT and CONFUSION and SCHISM [1 John 4:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; Ephesians 3:17-19]. There must be a profound SCRIPTURAL indication of genuine prophecy as in 1 Corinthians 14:2-4, that any can believe upon and must be ever acclaimed to possess, give, deliver and receive of God. And that’s the most gracious and graceful way to avoid and KEEP AT BAY the false PROPHETS with FALSEHOODS, CUNNING and CRAFTY PROPHECIES out of your good life with their THREAT, FRIGHTENING, MADE UP FEARS and BONDAGES.

May I say emphatically that  genuine PROPHETS and PROPHECIES should give others the opportunity to EXAMINE, that is, to JUDGE without being judgemental to ascertain that the prophecy acclaimed by them is of God and Scriptural as expected in the light of the scriptures otherwise such is proud, arrogant and false [1 Corinthians 14:3-5, 29-33; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Isaiah 8:20; Revelation 19:10]. Know today that ANYTHING contrary is FRAUD, SORCERY and WITCHCRAFT [Acts 8:9-26].

Are you building your life on just the Prophet’s Prophecy? Or a Prophetic book referenced to you? Please pause and think scripturally about it before you act on it. God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit is still actively at work today as in the Bible days and for your tomorrow. God’s WORD is the only authentic, authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated prophecy that EXAMINES any so-called prophecy from any so call Prophet or Prophetess, for your today and tomorrow’s VICTORY and TRIUMPH, irrespective of anything whatsoever. [Hebrews 13:8; Hebrews 4:12-13; Acts 17:10-12; 2 Timothy 3:14-17;  2 Timothy 2:15].

DON’T BE DELUDED BY ANYONE OR ANY MATERIAL – READ THE WORD AND LISTEN TO THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN YOUR SPIRIT BEING FOR YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET FOR YOUR DEFINITION AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. 4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue EDIFIETH himself; but he that PROPHESIETH EDIFIETH the church” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: WORSHIP God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“And they OVERCAME and CONQUERED him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY, for they did not love their life and renounce their faith even when faced with death” Revelation 12:11/Amplified.

“Bind up the TESTIMONY, seal the LAW among my disciples . .19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they speak not according to this WORD, it is because there is no LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:16, 19-20.

“Beloved, BELIEVE NOT every spirit, but TRY [EXAMINE] the spirits whether they ARE of God: because many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the world” John 4:1-3/Emphasis Mine.

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and ALL MAY BE COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . . 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37 If any man THINK himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. 38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:31-40.

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 10:23.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To the OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices, they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHETS and the PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same meaning, are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister to God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT; in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God doesn’t leave His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass through any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results in EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be EXAMINED indicates them to be erroneous, ignorant, proud, rude, self-egoistic and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced, because they are unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELLING (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims to and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT’S PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“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.

STAY ON YOUR LANE – DON’T COMPARE OR COMPETE: THE WORLD NEEDS YOUR OWN STORY AND STORYLINE!

“For we DARE NOT make ourselves of the number, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

BE YOU IN LIFE AND GRACE – GODLY LIVING. BECOME WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE. BE MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLED IN THE PURPOSE AND CAUSE THAT YOU ARE FOLLOWING IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN YOU!

AND SAY AMEN.

My wife sent this highly recommended lovely read below by BEN CARSON this morning to me. I pray you get wisdom from it as you read it too. It’s inspiring and empowering.

BEN CARSON WROTE:

I was jogging this morning and I noticed a person about ½ a kilometer ahead. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him. I had about a kilometer before I needed to turn off. So I started running faster and faster.

Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him.

Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. “I beat him” Of course, he didn’t even know we were racing.

After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my house. I had gone nearly six blocks past my house and I had to turn and go back.

Isn’t that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important?

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God-given destinies.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.

But realize that “You can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone.”

Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and driving.

Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you’ll be blessed by it. Stay focused and live a healthy life. There is no competition in Destiny.

*RUN YOUR OWN RACE AND WISH OTHERS WELL TOO*

Good day all, please have a wonderful and restful day. Keep yourself safe please.

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF

By Leave a Comment

TO AVOID WALKING IN ERROR: KNOW THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in error, being mistaken and taken up as  PREY, and becoming the VICTIM of the ENEMY, and COHORTS, because of one’s knowing or unknowing shade of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness, and vulnerability.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . ” Isaiah 5:11-16.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing; it will otherwise expose you to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deception, adulteration, delusion, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lions and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Ministers of God while they are under the enclave of Sayan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world about you toward God’s Word to avoid walking in error. You need to INTENTIONALLY  and PRAGMATICALLY resolve to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – to enable you to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. That’s the place of honour, dignity and nobility that was found in the believers of Berea in Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 My PEOPLE are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . ” Isaiah 5:11-16.

“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, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT: THE INVESTMENT COST IN WORTH AND EFFECT – IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

May I begin by saying to you in respect of the context and subject of this writ for you to understand – knowingly and unknowingly, acceptably or unacceptably – that you are God created and made, irrespective of whatever your perception is for now, today or tomorrow [Genesis 2:7]. And that, you are living by the breath of God and there’s no hiding place for you beyond the reach of God as He indeed crafted you and have all about your being make up documented in His book of life [Psalms 139:1-18]. And it’s a high time to take stock and consider your investment [daily, weekly, monthly and yearly] on your priceless SPIRIT BEING in comparison to your PHYSICAL BEING for the good of your well-being in life and grace as a wise business investor on a TREASURED FIELD and PRECIOUS PEARL.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a FIELD; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that FIELD. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a MERCHANT man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.

MAN IS A LIVING SPIRIT BEING; and there’s the need to know and understand for sure, in essence and context, that the MAN (non-gender in terms) in the HU-MAN that makes the being is a subconscious entity, and has an entity of consciousness which is the soul being, and together lives in an entity which is the HU (HUMUS), else, is clay, sand or dust – the body – the physical being which we all see and decorate like nothing else. And these separate entities together makes the living HUMAN being as written in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be PRESERVED blameless at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/NKJV.

The real you – the MAN being, is the being that’s giving you life; and it’s eternal and lives by God’s BREATH and can’t die; while the BODY is your physical being, housing your spirit being, and it depends on OXYGEN to be alive, hence it’s subject to die – that means it can decay no matter what. And when the human dies, the eternal spirit being MAN returns back to the creator God while the decayed BODY return back to the HU (humus) of the HU-MAN – (clay, sand, dust). So what makes the real being is the MAN being of the HU-MAN being, which is the spirit being in you. Genesis 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4.

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

“But there is a spirit in MAN, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES him understanding” Job 32:8 NKJV.

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life” Job 33:4 NKJV.

“The spirit of a MAN is the LAMP of the Lord,

SEARCHING all the INNER DEPTHS of his HEART” Proverbs 20:27 NKJV.

Have you for once, intentionally and pragmatically consider what it does COST in – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE and SUCH LIKE? And more so, of the corresponding and expected WORTH and EFFECT on PHYSICAL TRAINING/EXERCISE for your PHYSICAL well-being? You can only understand my concept and perception when you take note of the Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Millions and Billions and such like financial cost that are spent respectively by individuals and or corporations, governments and charities – just to keep the human physical body fit and to ensure a healthy physical wellbeing of the individual and society. And yes, in all these continuous investments in cost, the Scriptures does indicate, it ONLY PROFIT OR WORTH JUST A LITTLE IN PHYSICAL TERMS – which is relative in a way as to the whole outcome in terms of the CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state of the Individuals and society at large.

“. . . TRAIN YOURSELF TOWARD GODLINESS (piety), [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is USEFUL and of value in EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY, for it HOLDS promise for the PRESENT life and also for the life which is to COME.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified.

And as a challenge, could you imagine such cost in TIME, EFFORT and FINANCE as in PHYSICAL BEING training is spent in terms, on the SPIRIT BEING training by – an Individuals, and or corporations, governments and charities? I mean the expected worth in returns in CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state to Individual and society at large. Let say if and when 30 percent are invested in the TRAINING of the SPIRIT BEING MAN . . . I can assure how it will lead to the good and goodness of a COMPLETE and total WHOLENESS of the – spirit, soul and body. I can guarantee you that the consequential result will be enormous, incomprehensible and unimaginable; and it’s WORTH will have the PRESENT, FUTURE AND ETERNAL EFFECT in an individual and society at large for the good of all.

Today, take a look within you, in all your POSSESSIONS, how much of it defines your SPIRIT MAN well-being in comparison to your PHYSICAL well-being. That’s the essence of this post.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“. . .

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV.

“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.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“. . . 13 For thou hast POSSESSED MY REINS: thou hast COVERED ME IN MY MOTHER’S WOMB. 14 I will praise thee; FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 THINE EYES DID SEE MY SUBSTANCE, YET BEING UNPERFECT; AND IN THY BOOK ALL MY MEMBERS WERE WRITTEN, WHICH IN CONTINUANCE WERE FASHIONED, WHEN AS YET THERE WAS NONE OF THEM. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee” Psalms 139:1-18.

THERE MAY BE SPIRITUAL DROUGHT

By Leave a Comment

THERE MAY BE SPIRITUAL DROUGHT: THERE’S HOPE IN GOD – FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL WELLBEING IN THE GRACE!

“Then [in the final time] I will GIVE you [SPIRITUAL] SHEPHERDS after My own heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and [TRUE] UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15/Amplified.

There may be spiritual drought of the TRUTH of God’s WORD about you, know full well that God won’t keep you lacking, He’s there to ensure that you are fed healthily with knowledge and understanding in the grace by His provision of spiritual shepherds to feed you in season and out of season. Just open your eyes and locate them, otherwise you will feed unhealthily and live afterwards in errors and being mistaken too. For God’s intent is to see you perfected [matured, whole, complete] in the grace in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as APOSTLES [special messengers, representatives], some as PROPHETS [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as EVANGELISTS [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as PASTORS and TEACHERS [to shepherd and guide and instruct], 12 [and He did this] to fully EQUIP and PERFECT the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to BUILD up the body of Christ [the church]; 13 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a MATURE believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity]. 14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]. 15 But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love” Ephesians 4:11-16/Amplified.

You have a responsibility to ensure that you don’t go to the waste bin to feed because you are hungry, but to locate the place of healthy spiritual meal for your wellbeing in the grace. So, don’t be caught up with the famine because by staying in religious setting instead of in the word of faith setting, by the hearing of the word of grace that build you up and give you access to your inheritance in the grace, which is available for all who are SANCTIFIED [set apart] for uniqueness to be the living epistle of God’s enrichment in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“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.

God has made available His WORD for your enrichment and has equally given Shepherd that will feed you with His knowledge and understanding by the supervision of the standby Holy Spirit, so that the spiritual food is easy to receive and not burdensome, taskmaster, irksome,  slavery and grievous. And the shepherds are supposedly to break the word down to a plain state for your knowledge and understanding. This is so, so that your wellbeing as a NEW CREATION BABES for the living truth of God’s WORD, is ensured and assured in the faith, as the shepherd do help you to break it, divide it, sized it to your capacity, ability and ease to assimilates and digest it accordingly in the grace. This will help to ensure and assure that you build up the needed faith that gives the VICTORY over the world system, and the enemy and cohorts from activities in humanity.

“Wherefore LAYING ASIDE all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 as newborn babes, DESIRE the SINCERE milk of the WORD, that ye may GROW thereby: 3 if so be ye have TASTED that the Lord is GRACIOUS” 1 Peter 2:1-3.

“The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man BREAKETH [DIVIDED, BLENDED, SIZED] it unto them”  Lamentations 4:4/Emphasis mine.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his commandments: and His commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, SLAVERY]. 4 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 5:3-5.

Just know that God loves you and cares about you. And our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, assures us that if we continue in His Word and not in fables and myths, we will KNOW the TRUTH, that TRUTH will sets us free, and it will give us the unadulterated, and unpolluted freedom – the freedom that’s free from indoctrination that’s built on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And Jesus is THE WORD, and THE TRUTH, that sets free, and He that gives illumination to enlighten our wellbeing in the grace, because He is the light and life of our wellbeing. And the earnest grace and truth we need to do life and live godly in the grace are embedded in Him as He is the grace and truth – what a mystery. Hallelujah to our God, for great is the mystery of godliness in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on Him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“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 . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14.

Therefore, be assured that there may be SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, there’s hope in God – for your SPIRITUAL WELLBEING in the grace.

Blessed regards.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to SEEK THE WORD of the Lord, and shall NOT FIND IT. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? Are you desiring for the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created denomination doctrines? – [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20]. And worst, when you can’t find the principles of the word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the grace? – [Philippians 1:15-18].

It’s time to do something about the drought [famine] of the hearing of God’s word, for your own good as an antidote to restore a healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. And you need to know that you can’t blame people or anyone about your spiritual drought when there’s opportunities of being informed as you are now reading, to safeguard errors and being mistaken in the faith; and also, to make you do something about your spiritual wellbeing in the grace, as you desired to do life and live godly by  the WORD, in Christ Jesus stead. Your becoming for today and tomorrow are within your decision – and you need to make it happen in the grace without blaming anyone with your given opportunity in the grace to stop any form and signal of spiritual drought [famine] about you.

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monsters called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately, today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], have a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and live in a body [physique, physical structure].

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – [Romans 10:17], which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts of  our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you, and rather, you can’t PLEASE God for lack of faith by the word is sinful and has consequences – [Romans 14:23]. And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – [1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11].

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – [Luke 12:15]. And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can, and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. [Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4].

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47].

It’s time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3].

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – [Amos 8:11-14].

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – [1 Peter 5:8-11]. And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

I just want to remind you now and for your tomorrow, hoping that you might have known or and probably be informing you for first time to know that every born-again believing child of God in Christ Jesus, is a battlefield; and in a battlefield knowingly and unknowingly. And there’s the need to daily sharpen your instrument [weaponry] and keep it readily ready to engage in any battles in the now or tomorrow. Because the enemy and cohorts we are engaged with is roaring and roaming around looking for whom to devour. 1 Peter 5:8-11. Therefore, there’s the need to get yourself and spiritual weaponry ready 24/7 as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It’s time as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to exercise the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOURING for warfare – and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and COHORTS WILES and ASSAULT.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY [VICTORIOUSLY]: for He it is that shall TREAD [TRAMPLED] DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12/Emphasis Mine.

It may not surprise you on how much forecast are made yearly in budgetary investment, that showcased for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE operations and mechanism along with the training of their combatant military forces are ready and safely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to ensure the measure of warning signs on their national neighbourhoods and competitors on how prepared they are in any battle that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere and while others are on terrorisms of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at war naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or you are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatening and others are at an international war investment in various continents of the world. In each case WEAPONRY is involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nations, lives are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. These natural wars and warfare are at vast difference from the  wars and warfare which the unparalleled armies of God in Christ Jesus is engaged with; and are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God in Christ Jesus – the weaponry weapons in use for warfare are not carnal – meaning are not man made or humanly crafted. The weaponry weapons in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; and are spiritual made as an OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare are spiritual and not fought or battled in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour is expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always readily ready to triumph in Christ Jesus stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church of Ephesus. It’s by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we can be able to stand AGAINST the enemy and cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armouring for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and cohorts’ mode of operandi – at every and all their forms of manifestations, against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus in order to enact, authenticate and put the weapons and armouring into use to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it’s been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

For when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercised or utilised, and misused, the enemies rule and reign – hence there are many REDEEMED today that are still struggling in their walk and work with God, for not their inability to EXERCISE or be EXERCISING the SURELY and ASSURED weaponry weapon to bring ALL the works of the enemy and cohorts down as Jesus and the early Disciples – called Apostles did exercise ahead of time before us all in Christ Jesus stead.For we are enjoined in this scripture to:

“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.

“Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall rise AGAINST thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

Herein are some major spiritual weaponries or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realise our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

a. EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.
b. EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23; Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13 (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12); Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.
c. EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.
d. EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12; Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.
e. EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2; 2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.
f. EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.
g. EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODE of OPERANDI that are scriptural known in use by satanic and cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and cohort wiles as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and COHORTS wiles and mode of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note about them and the how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

  1. AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.
    ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7
  2. AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.
    ANTIDOTE:     Matthew 7:16, 20.
  3. AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
    ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died – yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force that’s universally located and stationed – and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and all these in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit through His UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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

The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in every way of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM; and thus endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS, irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.

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

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen”  1 Peter 5:8-11.

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails, it takes a spirited combatant Militant-Like Soldier’s stand to combat to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be courtmartialed and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry weapon is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in in Christ Jesus all things and flesh – animate and inanimate are subdued and SUBJECTED to the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army. (John 17:2; John 13:3; Philippians 3:20-21; Matthew 28:18; Mark 16:15-20; Luke 10:17-20).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 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. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on THE BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to WIN MY BATTLES. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, NOT THOSE MADE BY MEN, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these WEAPONS I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be BROKEN in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR GOD IS WITH US. 11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, to all them to whom this people shall say, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 SANCTIFY the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . . . 16 BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY: IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM . . .” Isaiah 8:9-22.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN you, than he that is in the world. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
