THE NEW CREATION MINDSET
REV. CHUKIE MORSI
THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST
THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST: YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE GRACE!
“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]” John 1:12-13.
If any man be in Christ, He is a NEW CREATION the Holy Writ says – is that difficult to know and understand I don’t think so. Unfortunately, many can’t comprehend that unconditionality just like the Nicodemus of John 3:1-8; because it seems so simple and easy and they intend to make it a bit complicated for themselves to realisation, before they can BECOME as God intends His free access and pass toward Him in Christ Jesus, just as it’s written:
“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17.
I reason and know that at baby birth, watching my lovely, gracious and graceful wife bringing forth the wonderful and fabulous children to BEING, that each of them had no history for me to reckon unto them for any reason. I see in them a brand-new personality arriving to CHART and THRIVE a NEW PATH of life. I saw no PAST but a NEW DAWN in them and for them to innovate, create, initiate, manoeuvre and explore the atmosphere they love and would love to have and enjoy in grace and life in humanity and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
That’s what I PERCEIVE when I gave my life to Christ Jesus – in the knowing and understanding, that my PAST has become irrelevant and a NEW me in Christ Jesus is BORN and DAWN – for uniqueness and greatness in relation to all about me in God’s REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Upon the above scenario I am emboldened to say to you – Don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear phobias of starting or completing your life intended plans, purposes and pursuits because of your PAST. For your PAST can’t hold back YOUR TODAY not TOMORROW in Christ Jesus, except you don’t BELIEVE in your NEW DAWN and PERMIT your past to have a hold on and over you. Your believe will define your corresponding act of FAITH. And you act of FAITH will define your direction of trave in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
God’s REDEMPTION for you in Christ Jesus has CERTIFIED and JUSTIFIED the ACCESS for your full JOY and HAPPINESS that your PAST is insignificance to the DONE DEED to make you a NEW CREATION. In Christ Jesus, you are now built into a NEW FOUNDATION that erased every other foundation known and unknown that have held you back religiously, culturally, traditionally and such like. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 3:10-23; Colossians 2:1-23.
I want you to know full well that your FAITH in God can go killing giants and ACHIEVING GREATNESS, even when it seems all things has come to a halt, as you keep ACTING on the WORD. For FAITH is ACTING in and on what you BELIEVE on God’s eternal WORD accordingly. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH in Christ Jesus alive.
Therefore, DARE TO DREAM AGAIN, DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN and DARE TO BECOME AGAIN. That’s what I considered to be the spirit behind every PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS with an achiever mindset to BECOME in Christ Jesus stead. Amen – Romans 4:16-25.
Finally, Jesus said, “. . . ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” (Matthew 9:29) – that means, by your FAITH in Him through His WORD, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Romans 10:8-13.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17.
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.
“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.
“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.
” . . . FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:10-13.
“. . . As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, SO WALK YE IN HIM: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:1-23.
“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the NAME of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13.
“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).

YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE
YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE: WORTH A SCRIPTURAL CHECK AND EXAMINATION!
“. . . 8 BEWARE lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily . . .” Colossians 1:1-23.
Your spiritual genotype may worth a scriptural check and examination to ascertain if you may be or not be, in spiritual bondage knowingly or unknowingly. Naturally, the term GENOTYPE – is the genetic constitution of an individual organism. And in a broad sense, the term “GENOTYPE” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism – in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes. And in a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism in SHAPING UP the you to other generation especially if you are going to be in a relationship or already in one and reproduce a kind. And in terms of functions – GENOTYPE is not just only the genetic make-up of an individual organism – GENOTYPE functions as a set of INSTRUCTIONS for the GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT of your body. The word ‘genotype’ is usually used when talking about the genetics of a particular trait (like eye colour).
“Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever TRANSGRESSETH, and ABIDETH NOT in the DOCTRINE of Christ, hath not God. He that ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, AND BRING NOT THIS DOCTRINE, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NEITHER BID HIM GOD SPEED: 11 for he that biddeth him God speed is PARTAKER of his evil deeds” 2 John 1:8-11.
And we know that – for the good of any healthy relationships, it’s appropriate and apparent that individuals do a GENOTYPE test check to help them if such relationship worth embarking upon, because of the effect it might have on the next generation – because it serves as an indicator if there is the chance for a healthy offspring and it’d safeguard’s you too if it’s not going to be a possibility for you to have one, instead of being locked into a quagmire as a child of God in Christ Jesus, with an unnecessary PRAYERS due to deliberate negligence. And I know that many have ignorantly and foolishly ignored this – while paying the price for its effect afterwards, today and now; and I can’t imagine many that I have met to pray along with as I give counsel to young intending couples to do the needful check-up test to safeguard regrets afterwards. For FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead, is not stupidly but it’s wisdom – in knowledge and understanding in terms irrespective.
As pertaining to SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – we need to come to terms to know that, as dangerously dangerous some have played down the need for GENOTYPE test check while entering a relationship, many have in same scenario, given themselves into a more SPIRITUAL bondage and confusion, that an early check-up would have saved them; however, I do know that faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead, can still save you today if you know and understand the context of this writ.
“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.
I was at my house garden yesterday doing some pruning, hedge cutting and care to the environment for appropriate reason to enjoy the spring and summer weather, then the Holy Spirit drop into my spirit the term – SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE! While brooding through this term as I have always done on freshly fresh information from the Holy Spirit, though I know the implications of GENOTYPE effect when wrongly applied – it reminds me that the trouble today in the Christian Faith, either as a denomination and with individuals in respect to many, especially in a spiritually charged incompatible relationship – it’s because of many who walked into a denominational place of worship and or entered into a Christian relationship without doing the needful; and most importantly important, some don’t know and have not seen the reason to know and are too lazy or ignorant to do the needful check-up first, if where they have called their place of worship in doing life and to live godly have a pure Christian faith-based “TENET of FAITH” belief otherwise “STATEMENT of FAITH” belief. This is very important irrespective of denominational inclinations, before engaging and bonding as such, into that denomination or relationship especially in marital relationships.
And the effect as such in many, especially the supposedly born of God in Christ Jesus stead, are today in a very seriously serious relationships trauma in terms of the divergent beliefs that’s been upheld by the individuals that makes up such relationships whilst some others are in bondage within the denominational settings; many are locked into some intermingled bylaws, creeds, ordinances , sectarianism and some form of righteousness that’s traditionalism and culturalised with dogmas that’s overlaid with unrelated contractual Scriptures to blindfold people from having an insight, foresight and oversight in the grace; and why in overtimes, some of these religious practices have become a part of acceptable practice and belief in their terms, as to the worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – while yet in contradictions there are holding forth people in bondages from their New Creation experiences in Christ Jesus stead, of which is the faith-based belief as laid out in the holy Scriptures.
And in the same scenario, some in the bond with the denominationised settings, are there held ups through marriage – they are there by married because their other partner said he’s or she’s a Christian without the full knowing of the respective beliefs “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH they are standing upon; and the inability to check the faith belief because of zealousness to get married without knowledge in terms, many have avoided the necessity to check on the importance of the sound faith-based belief that may affect their future difference when there’s a common challenges requiring a common beliefs to scripturally deal with it in God’s terms and scriptural context. And many are today in their relationship now pointing fingers of faults and crying out – fowl fowl, wolf wolf – when the deed of commitment and dedication is already done on a wrong footing; but there’s hope to return to the unchanging and infallible WORD of God and get the failed track back again, in scriptural context of TRUTH, if there’s a willing and obedient heart of dedication and commitment toward it together on the sound faith-based belief.
“Howbeit in VAIN do they WORSHIP me, TEACHING for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. 8 For laying ASIDE the commandment of God, ye hold the TRADITION of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye REJECT the commandment of God, that ye may KEEP your own TRADITION . . . 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:7-9, 13.
Today, I ask you to go and look into the overall beliefs – “TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH” that you are standing upon and building your Christian walk with God upon; this is important and way beyond your just being born of God by looking into the accreditation of your denominational Church creed booklet or on their indoctrinated websites, to ascertain if it’s SCRIPTURALLY faith-based in their doctrinal context to that of the word of God, as to their PREACHED messages you hear across and over the board; and to ascertain if you have already been intermingled, adulterated, indoctrinated and interfaced – half baked, knowingly or unknowingly of man-made indoctrination to suit statuesque. And when you ignorantly overlooked checking up, you are as good or bad to what you agreed to believe in the belief, as if it’s of God in Christ Jesus – irrespective of where it leads you toward. You can use similar test check on your social groups or spouse relationship so that you don’t run bluntly blind in spiritual incompatibility. For to be forewarned is to be forearmed – but only for the wise to note.
I want you to know of this truth that:
IF YOU BELIEVE IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT, YOU WILL EQUALLY ACT IN FAITH IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT – FOR FAITH (as the legal and vital tender for divine transactions and medium of communication and exchange, and de facto in heavenly relationship and fellowship with the earthly) – IS ABOUT ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD IN CONTEXT. Meaning, if you believe wrongly, you will act wrongly and you will have yourself to blame – and no one else.
Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK of your SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE before you let go to another.
I have known and resolved years ago while I travelled to live in places as a student and as an adult or now as a Gospel Minister, to ALWAYS do what I now term SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – that is, to always EXAMINE as the BEREÄN Christian [Acts 17:10-13] before I am in any bond with a person or denomination and such like, in order to preserved the faith-based truth that I have come to know of God in Christ Jesus; and this has caused me to stay steadfast, unpolluted, unadulterated, with no denominational indoctrination and unmovable in the FAITH in the grace; and I know, it has cost me a lot to have come thus far to live in this grace stand and along with it’s unwavering steadfastness, which is by God’s enabling grace, mercy, love and peace. Hence, I could write the book – LIVING IN THE REALM OF REVELATION which is about living beyond doctrine and man-made tradition.
“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.
“If thou put the brethren in REMEMBRANCE of these things, thou shalt be a GOOD MINISTER of Jesus Christ, NOURISHED up in the WORDS OF FAITH and of GOOD DOCTRINE, whereunto thou hast ATTAINED” 1 Timothy 4:6.
Are you Minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, especially as a pioneer in terms of a any denominational Christian Faith? How plain have you made available to your members the denominational ‘TENET/STATEMENT of FAITH’; there’s the need to make available the members who comes to your gatherings for the worship of God under your umbrella – so that they can READ BEFORE THEY RUN instead of RUNNING BEFORE READING, only for them to discover they are trapped in a RELIGION and RELIGIOSITY, and not in the FAITH-BASED SCRIPTURAL TRUTH toward God in Christ Jesus as written:
“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN upon tables, that he may RUN THAT READETH IT . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.
“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING THAT WAS PROFITABLE UNTO YOU, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
It’s an utmost imperative as Gospel Minister’s that are set to lead the congregation of God’s precious people and to feed them healthily, that we ensure and assure all, that the foundation of the Faith upon which we are conveying God’s WORD in respective denomination, it’s not a religious grandstands but a righteous grandstands – that is SCRIPTURALLY proven without adulteration and counterfeit and confusion, so that any can easily access and be founded and grounded in the faith of our saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Amen. [Number 27:15-17; Jeremiah 3:15; John 21:15-17; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11; Luke 6:47-49]
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God will help you as He build you up by His WORD, that you make it a personal responsibility and accountability in principle, to continually look up into the WORD of God for your spiritual healthy living in order not to have a cause to blame any for your negligence, ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, when you find yourself in a NEW place to live and need to find a place of INGATHERING of the saints in order to worship; and also, when you are considering a healthy relationship with someone, to look inward and to ask basic questions to safeguard that relationship when the challenges of times comes, you can be on the same page to deal with it in same SCRIPTURAL context of FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen as enjoined in Acts 20:32.
I hope as you see the importance of assurance for insurance in the natural GENOTYPE, you might see the spiritual implications too same like scenario, in always taking a SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE check, as a very vital necessity, in your walk and work of faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ . . .” Jude 1:1-24.
“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.

He saith unto him, FEED my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED my sheep” John 21:15-17.
“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3.
“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have LAID THE FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man TAKE HEED how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11.

GRATITUDE – A THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS
GRATITUDE – A THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS: IT’S THE POWER AND ESSENCE OF HIGHER ALTITUDE!
“And WHATSOEVER ye DO in WORD or DEED, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS to God and the Father by Him” Colossians 3:17.
GRATITUDE – is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Having and expressing a GRATITUDE of hearts is a gracious and graceful ATTITUDE to live in, for one’s ALTITUDE in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there’s the need to live a GRATEFUL and THANKFUL life in all circumstances and situations irrespective of one’s status, creed, colour, gender and tongue.
When you come to a place of acknowledging goodwill and goodness in life and grace – that place of not only GIVING God THANKS at the point of INCIDENCE, but you have a LIVING ATTITUDE to give THANKS ALWAYS without prejudice, therein is a set place knowingly and unknowingly, of awesome ALTITUDE. That’s an atmosphere, wherein you just LIVE in the REALM of THANKS – and such a heartfelt ATTITUDE of the will, will ALWAYS reciprocate and create an enabling for an ALTITUDE that’s beyond human words, but found in knowledge and understanding, as the Holy writ do encourage.
“By him therefore let us OFFER the SACRIFICE of PRAISE to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the FRUIT of our lips GIVING THANKS to his name” Hebrews 13:15.
I therefore urge you to ensure that your THANKSGIVING act of GRATITUDE becomes a THANKS LIVING ATTITUDE for your ALTITUDE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Be CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but IN EVERY THING by prayer and supplication with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the PEACE of God, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.
“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be FILLED with the Spirit; 19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 GIVING THANKS ALWAYS for ALL THINGS unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” Ephesians 5:18-20.
“For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 15 By him therefore let us OFFER the sacrifice of praise to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the FRUIT of our lips GIVING THANKS to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased” Hebrews 13:14-16.
“In every thing GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
“And they sang together by course in PRAISING and GIVING THANKS unto the Lord; because he is good, for his mercy endureth for ever toward Israel. And all the people SHOUTED with a great shout, when they praised the Lord, because the FOUNDATION of the house of the Lord was laid” Ezra 3:11.
“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. 3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: BUT RATHER GIVING OF THANKS . . .” Ephesians 5:1-5.
“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother, 2 to the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 We GIVE THANKS to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints . . .” Colossians 1:8.
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for all men” 1 Timothy 2:1.

You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure
You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure: There’s The STAND in The GRACE to Say ‘NO’ in You!
“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.
It’s a high time to BUILD your life on PRINCIPLE – the PRINCIPLE that’s BASED ON God’s WORD and BUILT FROM the WORD of God. You need to ensure and be assured that what’s paramount in all your decisions on daily basis is PRINCIPLES that stands on God’s WORD of GRACE, in all you do in LIFE and GODLINESS. You can’t afford as the REDEEMED of God to fall PREY of the ENEMY and COHORTS, except for your inability to take and have a built-up PRINCIPLE that STAND by your FAITH and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. When you don’t have a PRINCIPLED stand that’s BASED ON God’s WORD and that’s BUILT FROM God’s WORD, you will FALL a PREY to any MANOEUVRE that comes on your path of life by the ENEMY and COHORTS in waiting to devour.
“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; 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.
May I say and assure you that in Christ Jesus stead, you can make it GREAT in life and BECOME what God has MADE you be in salvation through REDEMPTION; and by the entrusted GRACE of God, if you CAN know the HOW to say ‘NO’ to ALL THINGS that LIMITS you and CONTRAVENE your ACTS of FAITH in Christ Jesus, NOTHING can stop your intended desire in and with God, in Christ Jesus stead – no matter what it is.
“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. . . “ Titus 2:11-15/NIV.
Grace to me in sum, is – God’s Riches at Christ Expense. And there’s an inner deposited ability and capacity embedded in your Salvation in Christ Jesus, and is called GRACE, and it’s to help you say NO to POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. It thus means you can say NO to anything that limits you from where God in Christ Jesus have enthroned you in Him. You have a choice to resist steadfastly any act of sinful demands, worldly prepositions and lustful pressures that crosses your path of destiny in order for you to succeed, be fulfilled and to eat the good of the land wherein you dwell, work, school and do life.
Colourful living and glorious life is not cheap, it demands the EXERCISING of the will of the GRACE that CAN say NO to setbacks and failure steadfastly. And you are GIVEN THE MEASURE of GRACE and FAITH to say “NO”. Therefore blame no one anymore if you falter to be PRINCIPLED to exercise the will given measure to VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION.
If you CAN discipline and principle yourself to say NO, you will and can keep yourself above the waters that’s aimed to limit you from your godly position of greatness in Christ Jesus; and in knowing and understanding what the Scripture has said about you.
Saying “NO” is godly and it’s a principle to stand upon to live the “I CAN” in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:
BE BLESSED – BE EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED.

THE PROMISES OF GOD – OUR DAILY LOADED BENEFITS
THE PROMISES OF GOD – OUR DAILY LOADED BENEFITS: IT’S TO ENHANCE AND AUTHENTICATE OUR REDEMPTION!
“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.
“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
Our God does not only want to meet up with our Daily Bread needs but He wants also to shower us with His ADD-ON BONUS, the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS – embedded in our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in Christ Jesus stead. Imagine having BONUS, an ADD-ON to your normal daily earnings; that’s what it means to have BENEFITS to the NORMS daily BREAD that is generalised to ALL when you pray.
Our God will daily load us with His benefits in REDEMPTION in order to authenticate our salvation in Him. That’s why you must not give up or give in to any limiting circumstances until you begin to actualise God’s benefiting WILL, in your DAILY life.
Herein are simple few major reasons though not limited why Father God in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit in His WORD will authenticate His Daily Benefits:
* That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby give Him thanks. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2].
* That the Gospel might advance, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9].
* That you have plenty left over to give to others in great needs without murmuring withholding and complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38].
* To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes people away from the FAITH. And in seeking answers from ungodly places that will cause you to fall out in the faith and to become a prey of the ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper in order to achieve the desired unscriptural set greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3].
* To cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness, oppression and destruction. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such likes. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34].
* To help keep and establish the righteous in Dominion. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].
* To establish and authenticate His covenant of faithfulness that’s only built on His sure and true foundation in the grace through faith in Christ Jesus stead. [2 Peter 1:19-21; Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17].
The ADD-ON BONUS of God it’s a gracious and graceful way to live your life in the faith, not just from the DAILY BREAD but from the DAILY LOADED BENEFITS; that’s the essence of knowing your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION (REDEMPTION). Selah” Psalms 68:19 (Emphasis Mine).
“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us THIS DAY our DAILY BREAD . . .” Matthew 6:9-15.
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION
THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION: THE POWER OF GOD THAT CHANGES ALL THINGS – BOTH THE CHANGEABLE AND THE UNCHANGEABLE!
“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER OF GOD unto SALVATION to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.
SALVATION of men, which is FRUITFULNESS in the SPIRIT, is the most awesome essence of THE GOSPEL. It’s our global, inescapable and supreme task, as God’s ambassadors in Christ Jesus stead. It’s a high and higher time to live it out daily, in order to populate the heavens and depopulate hell, by advancing the Kingdom cause of our God and in keeping the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay.
When last did you in passion and compassion share the GOSPEL to your unsaved friend, family member, neighbour, colleague and those about where you do life and express your godly living time and again. Make it a new dawn for you to share this precious GOSPEL faith and fellowship with those especially that you care about and are reachable to begin with. The salvation of a soul is costly, and no amount of earthly wealth and possession can quantify and qualify the redemption of a soul. Only the gospel can and will ALWAYS redeem a soul. Give it a go today.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 NONE OF THEM CAN BY ANY MEANS REDEEM HIS BROTHER, nor give to God a RANSOM for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their SOUL IS PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others . . .” Psalms 49:6-12.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO YE THEREFORE, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.

Amen” Mark 16:15-20.
