BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE ASSURED GRACE OF RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Psalms 45:6-7.

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] in  Christ Jesus in you. For Jesus Christ in presences and experience in humanity, was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order to ensure and be assured, of God’s ever ANOINTED presence is with Him, to stay enabled and above All and above only. [Hebrews 1:7-9; Psalms 45:6-7].

“And of the ANGELS He says: “Who makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.

The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hated wickedness, in order to be assured that He earn God’s approval instead of men’s applause and hyper – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].

Don’t you cherished such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31]. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only stand to hold on to, as we do life and live godly in the midst of the fallibility of the human nature, acceptance and of hope and assurance before men in measures. For the kingdom of God is about RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

And if you desired to live and be ABOVE ONLY – it’s not by mouth-talking it – you just have to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus For we can only reign with God in Christ Jesus on earth through RIGHTEOUSNESS. Think about that – to reign in life, in humanity, only possible for the Believer’s through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.

Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, then addition will commence in your life and wellbeing in godliness. God knows about your need of at least the three basics necessity in life – Food, Clothing and Shelter. He doesn’t want you to toil like unbeliever’s to obtain the basic necessity and much more, hence He wants you to lay the basic fundamental foundation in kingdom to His provision in redemption for you, effortlessly and without sweat and boredom.

“. . . 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we EAT? or, What shall we DRINK? or, Wherewithal shall we be CLOTHED? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS. 33 But SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you . . .” Matthew 6:31-33 [25-34].

Give God an opportunity to be your Father for once again in righteousness. Let Him make you be in His plan, purpose and pursuit for your wellbeing in Christ Jesus.  [Jeremiah 29:11]. Let your definition be founded in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to flourish like a cedar in Lebanon, flourish like the Palm tree, flourish in the courts of our God. Flourish at all ages of your being in life and grace. For God wants to assure you that He’s Faithful and there’s no unrighteousness with Him in the grace. It’s time to get yourself rooted, grounded and established in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus to be ABOVE only and enjoy the heritage of the redeemed of God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. [Psalms 92:12-15; Isaiah 54:13-17].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The RIGHTEOUS will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15  [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:12-15/Amplified.

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 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 54:13-17.

“. . . 29 And seek not ye what ye shall EAT, or what ye shall DRINK, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather SEEK YE THE KINGDOM of God; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s GOOD PLEASURE to give you the kingdom” Luke 12:22-32.

THE PROMISES OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND EVER SURE

By Leave a Comment

THE PROMISES OF GOD – EVER TRUE AND EVER SURE: YOU CAN BANK ON IT TODAY AND ALWAYS!

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be Cut Off” Proverbs 23:18 [Proverbs 24:14].

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that feareth (REVERENCE) him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35/Emphasis Mine.

Step into the day with HOPE and ASSURANCE in FAITH that WORKS through LOVE, because the PROMISES of God are ever sure and true. You can BANK on His PROMISSORY NOTE to you, because God is FAITHFUL to all His promises, and your momentary delay does not mean His denial of you for sure – He will be on time as always. [Philippians 1:6; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 10:23; Galatians 5:6; 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5].

God plays no gimmicks as men neither with men. And of two immutability of His counsel – in order to authenticate with assurances to His PROMISES, He has taken an oath in His NAME and His WORD; that’s to say – He can’t and won’t lie, and can’t begin one with you now or ever. His PROMISES to us are EVER SURE And STEADFAST – you can BANK on it today, and even now. [Psalms 138:2/Amplified; Hebrews 6:16-20; Numbers 23:19, 23; Matthew 24:35 (Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33)].

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.

In order to authenticate that God is faithful, true and ever sure, He has GIVEN us the Holy Spirit as a SEALED of ownership which also is His PLEDGED to GUARANTEE as DOWN payment and SECURITY DEPOSIT to His promises to you and all. Much more, He has assured us that His promises are only in the YES and AMEN and never in the NO or NAY as some may have purportedly claim which is unfortunate.

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us, by me, Silvanus, and Timothy, was not “YES” and “NO,” but has proved to be “YES” in Him [true and faithful, the divine “YES” affirming God’s promises]. 20 For as many as are the PROMISES of God, in Christ they are [all answered] “YES.” So through Him we say our “AMEN” to the glory of God. 21 Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]” 2 Corinthians 1:19-21/Amplified.

When you are ASSURED of this INSURED act of God, you need not allow worry and anxiety to rule and own your day. It’s your moment to STAND upright, STEP on, HEAD up and straight, SHOULDER high and HEELS of faith high, to win your day. [Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:13-15].

You can BANK on God’s PROMISES to you today – and you can CHECK in that HEAVENLY PROMISSORY NOTE and Live joyfully all day long in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

May every grace and blessings that are yours in Christ Jesus abounds more and more. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For men verily SWEAR by THE GREATER: and an OATH FOR CONFIRMATION is to them an END of all strife. 17 Wherein God, WILLING MORE ABUNDANTLY to shew unto the HEIRS OF PROMISE THE IMMUTABILITY OF HIS COUNSEL, CONFIRMED IT BY AN OATH: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS, in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to LIE, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the HOPE set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as AN ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which entereth into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us ENTERED, even Jesus, MADE an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:16-20.

“For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us.  21 Now He who ESTABLISHES US with you in Christ and has ANOINTED US is God,  22 who also has SEALED US and GIVEN US the Spirit in our hearts as a GUARANTEE” 2 Corinthians 1:20-22.

“But YOU HAVE AN ANOINTING from the Holy One, and you know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which you HAVE RECEIVED from Him ABIDES in you, and you do not need that anyone TEACH you; but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHES you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has TAUGHT you, you will ABIDE in Him”  1 John 2:20, 27.

“Let us hold fast the PROFESSION (CONFESSION) of our hope without WAVERING, for He who promised is FAITHFUL” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is NOT A MAN, that he should lie; NEITHER the son of man, that he should repent: hath he SAID, and shall he not DO it? or hath he SPOKEN, and shall he not MAKE IT GOOD? . . .23 Surely there is no ENCHANTMENT AGAINST Jacob,neither is there any DIVINATION AGAINST Israel: ACCORDING TO THIS TIME it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought!” Numbers 23:19, 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.

“These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God. 14 And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARETH US: 15 and if we know that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER we ASK, we know that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:13-15.

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME

By Leave a Comment

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN OVER THE CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD THEM OUT, and which may BRING THEM IN; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not AS SHEEP which have NO SHEPHERD” Numbers 27:15-17.

You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.

“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.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self-indulgence, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohort’s mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – [Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7].

These sets of SELF-MADE UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made-up creeds, religious bigots, sectarianism, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel. [1 Timothy 1:1-11; Colossians 2:8; Mark 7:1-13].

PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. [Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11]. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to FEED God’s people without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation ; and to LEAD them healthily in purposeful LEADERSHIP as God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

Also, you are either sent by God as John the Baptist and the Disciples as in the Gospel days or you are your own sending. God does call and send [John 1:6-36; Mark 6:7-13]. Those he called and send; He keeps and protects and defends. It’s not about liking the Ministerial outfits but being called and sent forth should be paramount.  Send forth could be to a person to enhance the calling or to a people, or to a generation or to a dispensation or to a community or to a special group of people. You must know the definition of the calling and sending before taking a step because of the warfare and many uncertainties and unknown in cause and course of that obedience demands without having any reason to regrets your step of faith to advance the kingdom of our God and to keep the Enemy and cohorts at bay.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.

“There was a man SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:1-36.

“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he SAID unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” Mark 6:7-13.

PASTORAL SHEPHERDING – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S ABOUT MATURING GOD’S HERITAGE IN THE SPIRIT!

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

The PASTORAL MINISTRY otherwise the SHEPHERDING of God’s heritage – the flocks of God, is an ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE calling of grace, that’s built on the PRINCIPLE of looking well after the state of God’s herds – the Churches of His grace.

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM: AWAKE TO READING – MAKE A DIFFERENCE – BE FREE FROM IGNORANCE AND THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN!

Ignorance is not just destructive, but enslaves one, keeps one in CAPTIVITY and BONDAGE of all sorts; it’s WORST than a CANCEROUS disease, it  short circuits ones present and future greatness, and makes one to own up and give up ones WILL and WORTH unknowingly, thereby DESTROYING ones PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING [Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 11 (AMP); Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11(AMP); 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

You can’t afford in 21st Century as the REDEEMED in Christ Jesus, to live less than what REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus has offered you and us all; to make us Triumphant, Victorious, More Than Conquerors and an Overcomer of this present world through FAITH until Christ Jesus earnest return [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 21; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:47; 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11]; and to take us and deliver us from the dark and darkness of limitations and failures into the indescribable and incomprehensible gracious and graceful bosom of His good and goodness in doing life and godly living [Galatians 1:3-5]. Hence, you need to stop been in a hurry to escape from reality of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, because of your been LAZYBUTT and in LOUSINESS as if nothing matters. Know today SOMETHING matters in life my dear – and it’s about LIFE and GODLY LIVING. You are BORN AGAIN to be FULFILL in life meaningfully and purposefully in Christ Jesus stead.

The born of God in Christ Jesus stead is inexcusable in matters of playing IGNORANCE – [Acts 17:30-31]. And you ARE only MISTAKEN and working in ERRORS  because of  IGNORANCE of the TRUTH – For the TRUTH always SETS one FREE in Christ Jesus stead [Matthew 22:29; John 8:32; John 14:6]. Know for sure that it’s your principle failure in responsibility and accountability, when you fail through ignorance. Someone may be responsible for your falling in the ditch, you can’t live to keep blaming such somebody or person’s for you remaining and keeping yourself in the ditch. You are responsible and accountable for the decision you make to either RISE UP to be ABOVE ONLY, or to STAY BACKWARDS, or to STAND SAME in circus and STILL, then mourning, complaining, excusing, accusing and such like. You don’t need to stay vulnerable and downcast to fulfil sentimental position and to embrace pity party to make have a temporary happiness. You need to take a stand in grace to enable you attain the enduring, onward and upward trajectory happiness and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HENCE, I SAY:

“INFORMED LEADERS ARE READERS AND WORLD CHANGERS. UNTIL YOU READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ, YOU ARE STILL IGNORANT. THEREFORE READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU LEAD AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE” – Chukie MORSI Snr (@ Chukie MORSI Books Extract).

It’s time to wake up, rise up like an edifice from your LAZYBUTT and give yourself to READING that will emancipate, rekindle, refresh, synergise and geared you to INNOVATE, CREATE, EXPLORE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into your unimaginable, better and best days, while making the difference and fulfilling PURPOSE, in the now of God for you and those you care about in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOU ARE THE BEST OF GOD FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR STREET, YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NATION AND YOUR WORLD. DON’T FAIL THROUGH IGNORANCE – IT’S WORST THAN A CANCEROUS DISEASE.

I PRAY YOU UNDERSTAND MY PASSION FOR YOU TO RISE AND BEGIN AGAIN. THERE’S A MIRACLE AWAITING YOU AGAIN. GIVE YOURSELF TO READING. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Don’t faint. Don’t go weary, Don’t be anxious. Knowledge delivers, emancipates and rewards in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM: AWAKE TO READING – MAKE A DIFFERENCE – BE FREE FROM IGNORANCE AND THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN!

Ignorance is not just destructive, but enslaves one, keeps one in CAPTIVITY and BONDAGE of all sorts; it’s WORST than a CANCEROUS disease, it  short circuits ones present and future greatness, and makes one to own up and give up ones WILL and WORTH unknowingly, thereby DESTROYING ones PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING [Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, 11 (AMP); Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11(AMP); 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

You can’t afford in 21st Century as the REDEEMED in Christ Jesus, to live less than what REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus has offered you and us all; to make us Triumphant, Victorious, More Than Conquerors and an Overcomer of this present world through FAITH until Christ Jesus earnest return [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 21; 1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:47; 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11]; and to take us and deliver us from the dark and darkness of limitations and failures into the indescribable and incomprehensible gracious and graceful bosom of His good and goodness in doing life and godly living [Galatians 1:3-5]. Hence, you need to stop been in a hurry to escape from reality of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, because of your been LAZYBUTT and in LOUSINESS as if nothing matters. Know today SOMETHING matters in life my dear – and it’s about LIFE and GODLY LIVING. You are BORN AGAIN to be FULFILL in life meaningfully and purposefully in Christ Jesus stead.

The born of God in Christ Jesus stead is inexcusable in matters of playing IGNORANCE – [Acts 17:30-31]. And you ARE only MISTAKEN and working in ERRORS  because of  IGNORANCE of the TRUTH – For the TRUTH always SETS one FREE in Christ Jesus stead [Matthew 22:29; John 8:32; John 14:6]. Know for sure that it’s your principle failure in responsibility and accountability, when you fail through ignorance. Someone may be responsible for your falling in the ditch, you can’t live to keep blaming such somebody or person’s for you remaining and keeping yourself in the ditch. You are responsible and accountable for the decision you make to either RISE UP to be ABOVE ONLY, or to STAY BACKWARDS, or to STAND SAME in circus and STILL, then mourning, complaining, excusing, accusing and such like. You don’t need to stay vulnerable and downcast to fulfil sentimental position and to embrace pity party to make have a temporary happiness. You need to take a stand in grace to enable you attain the enduring, onward and upward trajectory happiness and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HENCE, I SAY:

“INFORMED LEADERS ARE READERS AND WORLD CHANGERS. UNTIL YOU READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ, YOU ARE STILL IGNORANT. THEREFORE READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU LEAD AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE” – Chukie MORSI Snr (@ Chukie MORSI Books Extract).

It’s time to wake up, rise up like an edifice from your LAZYBUTT and give yourself to READING that will emancipate, rekindle, refresh, synergise and geared you to INNOVATE, CREATE, EXPLORE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into your unimaginable, better and best days, while making the difference and fulfilling PURPOSE, in the now of God for you and those you care about in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOU ARE THE BEST OF GOD FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR STREET, YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NATION AND YOUR WORLD. DON’T FAIL THROUGH IGNORANCE – IT’S WORST THAN A CANCEROUS DISEASE.

I PRAY YOU UNDERSTAND MY PASSION FOR YOU TO RISE AND BEGIN AGAIN. THERE’S A MIRACLE AWAITING YOU AGAIN. GIVE YOURSELF TO READING. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Don’t faint. Don’t go weary, Don’t be anxious. Knowledge delivers, emancipates and rewards in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION: HE RECEIVED AND GAVE GIFTS TO MATURE HIS CHURCH!

Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, did ensure that in our REDEMPTION in Him, He RECEIVED and GAVE spiritual gifts and endowment on our behalf to mature His Church (Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 5:19-12). And YOU ARE THAT CHURCH; and I hereby remind you, that it’s your obligations and not someone else, to ENSURE that – WHAT YOU FEED ON – WHERE YOU FEED FROM – WHO AND WHOM YOU FEED FROM – are MATURING you in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For you are the custodian of your FULFILMENT in FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead and not someone else.

We live in the last days, you must always remember, that you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness for now, today and tomorrow. Meaning, you are responsible and accountable on every thought and corresponding action you take to make you have and become who you are. You are either REACTING or RESPONDING in life, to anything you consider to be the PRINCIPLE of life you are applying to fulfil PURPOSE.

Our Father God in His infinite wisdom has given us every good thing that can principally help us in all that PERTAINS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. And the sure infinite wisdom gift of God are there to make us MATURE in Him in Christ Jesus, that we might THRIVE, ENSURE and ENJOY His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in everyway. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

When our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His journey of decending and ascending to Glory, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE such gifts to men, to ENSURE and ASSURE MATURITY in and for His people; that they might fully fulfil His PURPOSE, meant for them as individual and collective ambassador’s, toward God and humanity, while there are in the earth. Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-10; Revelation 5:9-12.

One of such gifts of God in Christ Jesus, is classified as MINISTERIAL GIFTS of God. The SET MINISTERIAL GIFT in essence, embodied the SHEPHERDING of God’s people that they might be PERFECTED – meaning MATURED in all their dealings that pertains toward doing LIFE on earthly demands and living godly for the heavenly demands. And unfortunately, immaturity, contention, schism and disorder have taken hold within these Ministerial gifts, that the byproduct of the essence are not worth mentioning at all. That’s why you as an individual, must make it a matter of personal responsibility and accountability, to ENSURE that WHAT you are FEEDING on, WHERE you are FEEDING from, and WHO/WHOM you are FEEDING from, are in essence MATURING you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus stead, in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. John 10:1-18.

Therefore, be assured to ensure, that you are PRINCIPLED enough, in all the PLATFORM of life you get yourself into, that you are fulfiling that God given PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, and such driven PURPOSE you acclaimed, is MATURING you in the knowledge and understanding that is presentable in the face of Christ Jesus, to whom you will answer one day – knowingly or unknowingly. 2 Corinthians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 3:18.

And if you are a part of the SET MINISTERIAL GIFTS that are GIVEN to MATURE the CHURCH, as a consequence of while Christ Jesus have to died and rose again, and sat on the throne, having led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, so that His Church might be PERFECTED in Him, you need to ENSURE you are actually fulfiling the PURPOSE of FEEDING God’s REDEEMED precious people, with His KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING; and not with religious bigots, man-made belief, tradition dogmas of men, religion bye-laws and creeds, and such like.

It’s my earnest PRAYER that each one of us in Christ Jesus, GROW MATURED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS – meaning, being PERFECTED and EQUIPPED, to keep the GOSPEL, the good news of God in Christ Jesus for human salvation without stain of contention, schisms, disorders, impurity and such like. Ensure you create within you, a well guarded garrison, of a spiritual filter, that’s centered and centric to the WORD OF GOD, to keep you away and from non maturing and sentimental poisoning that are now spreading like wild fire, all over the places, in the name of God. Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15.

Know today and always for your reminder toward your onwards and upwards trajectory that:

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION – RECEIVED AND GAVE GIFTS TO MATURE HIS CHURCH – IT’S YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY THAT YOU ENSURE THAT WHAT YOU FEED ON, WHERE YOU FEED FROM, WHO AND WHOM YOU FEED FROM – ARE MATURING YOU IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT OF CHRIST. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:7-10.

“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. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“And I WILL GIVE YOU PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“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. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 HAVING THEN GIFTS DIFFERING according to the grace that is GIVEN to us, whether PROPHECY, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 or MINISTRY, let us wait on our ministering: or he that TEACHETH, on teaching; 8 or he that EXHORTETH, on exhortation: he that GIVETH, let him do it with simplicity; he that RULETH, with diligence; he that sheweth MERCY, with cheerfulness” Romans 12:3-8.

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first APOSTLES, secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly TEACHERS, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, HELPS, GOVERNMENTS, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way” 1 Corinthians 12:27-31.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, THAT THOU MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE THYSELF IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 2 Timothy 3:14-16.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice . . . 27 Only let your CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:15-18, 27 (Emphasis Mine).

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME

By Leave a Comment

PASTORAL MINISTRY – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S A SHEPHERD AND SHEPHERDING MINISTERIAL CALLING!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN OVER THE CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD THEM OUT, and which may BRING THEM IN; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not AS SHEEP which have NO SHEPHERD” Numbers 27:15-17.

You are either CALLED or NOT. Everyone CALLED is a MESSENGER. And every MESSENGER is GIVEN a SPECIFIC and SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with a MESSAGE to FEED the FLOCKS – God’s own Heritage – with the needed KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that’s TOWARD God and His Christ, and NOT TOWARD man or creation at all. John 17:3/Jeremiah 3:15.

“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.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to RECEIVE glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

Those NOT CALLED, are not MESSENGERS but HIRELING – Thieves and Robbers – John 10:8, 12-13. And with such there is NO MESSAGE nor any specific given assignment of God but that of their self indulgence, gratification, men applaud and egotism under the influence of satanic/demonic and cohorts mission. This is the reason for – Adulteration, Schism, Bewitching, Robbery, Dogmas, Sorcery, Falsehoods, Confusion and such like, in the body Ministry of the Gospel, indicating and supposedly the signs of the last days – [Philippians 1:15-18; 2 Timothy 3:1-9; 2 Peter 3:1-7].

These sets of SELF-MADE UP and SELF-CALLED Pastors, are full of fables, philosophy of men, endless genealogies, vain jangling, teachers of idealism and realism, denominational made up creeds, religious bigots, sectarianism, man-made tradition and dogmas that leads people to further bondages and hence makes God’s WORD of no effect in the Gospel. [1 Timothy 1:1-11; Colossians 2:8; Mark 7:1-13].

PASTORAL MINISTRY? It’s not an Office Position – It’s a set Ministerial Calling – It’s a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING that is principled with responsibility and accountability in Christ Jesus stead, for the GLORY and PRAISE of God. [Galatians 6:14-16; Revelation 4:11]. It’s a set MINISTERIAL calling to FEED God’s people without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation; and to LEAD them healthily in purposeful LEADERSHIP as God’s REDEEMED, PRECIOUS and BLESSED people; and not to the BOSS and DOMINEER people around for self gratification and egotism. There’s no room for SELF INTEREST and SELFISHNESS in the PASTORAL MINISTRY as a SHEPHERD and SHEPHERDING of God.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

Also, you are either sent by God as John the Baptist and the Disciples as in the Gospel days or you are your own sending. God does call and send [John 1:6-36; Mark 6:7-13]. Those he called and send, He keeps and protects and defends. It’s not about liking the Ministerial outfits but being called and sent forth should be paramount.  Send forth could be to a person to enhanced the calling or to a people, or to a generation or to a dispensation or to a community or to a special group of people. You must know the definition of the calling and sending before taking a step because of the warfare and many uncertainty and unknown in cause and course of that obedience demands without having any reason to regrets your step of faith to advance the kingdom of our God and to keep the Enemy and cohorts at bay.

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is A THIEF AND A ROBBER. 2 But he that entereth in by the door is THE SHEPHERD OF THE SHEEP. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers . . . 11 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP. 12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep. 14 I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine . . .” John 10:1-18.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 THAT FRUSTRATETH THE TOKENS OF THE LIARS, AND MAKETH DIVINERS MAD; THAT TURNETH WISE MEN BACKWARD, AND MAKETH THEIR KNOWLEDGE FOOLISH; 26 THAT CONFIRMETH THE WORD OF HIS SERVANT, AND PERFORMETH THE COUNSEL OF HIS MESSENGERS; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof” Isaiah 44:24-26.

“There was a man SENT from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, TO BEAR WITNESS OF THE LIGHT, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him . . .” John 1:1-36.

“And he called unto him the twelve, and began to SEND them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; 8 and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse: 9 but be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats. 10 And he SAID unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place. 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city. 12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent. 13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them” Mark 6:7-13.

LIVE AND MAXIMISE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW IN EVERYWAY

LIVE AND MAXIMISE YOUR BEST LIFE NOW IN EVERYWAY: EARNESTLY SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD IN JOYFULNESS AND GLADNESS NO MATTER WHAT’S!

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH” Philippians 3:3.

The current atmosphere in your life or community or nation as in the world in essence may directly or indirectly be affecting your well being; it may be traumatising, frustrating, beyond human comprehension and control in every sense of your thoughts and imaginations. However it may be, I want you to know and understand that God loves you and cares about you even in the midst of whatever. And as God’s redeemed, it’s your time to take advantage of the atmosphere at hand to celebrate your moment in the grace and to live your best life in the now, and in everyway, no matter what betides you in the course of doing life and living godly in the grace, wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead. You can like Apostle Paul can abound and abased, declaring you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I CAN DO all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

It’s time to be gracious and graceful to SERVE the LORD GOD acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily in joyfulness and gladness in every moment in the now; otherwise as the scripture says, you’ll invariably be serving your enemies unknowingly, and the resultant effect is: hunger, thirst, nakedness, oppression, bondage and such like the more. And I am not sure that’s where you intend to be in the grace wherein God has set you free in Christ Jesus to stand in His stead.

“Because thou SERVEDST not the Lord thy God with JOYFULNESS, and with GLADNESS of HEART, for the ABUNDANCE of all things; 48 therefore shalt thou SERVE thine ENEMIES which the Lord shall send against thee, in HUNGER, and in THIRST, and in NAKEDNESS, and in WANT of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee” Deuteronomy 28:47-48.

In times like this – you need to have a personal KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of Father God in Christ Jesus in your heart thoughts in LIFE and GODLINESS. For you ARE the circumcised or circumcision in the heart – spirit man, who SERVE and WORSHIP God from the spirit being, the SIXTH sense, the sense of FAITH by the WORD of God; and you need not have any DELIGHT to SERVE and WORSHIP God from the realm of the flesh – of the five senses, that is, to – feel, smell, taste, see and hear, in order to BELIEVE and exercise FAITH in God.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED in THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where men ought to WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye WORSHIP ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour COMETH, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

Therefore I say to you in Christ Jesus stead:

SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD FROM YOUR SPIRIT BEING BY THE TRUTH – WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. This thus mean you have no cause to feel LIMITED or lost in Christ Jesus. The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the CHURCH that Christ Jesus is BUILDING is YOU and it is the ARCHITECTURAL building that we crave to gather therein which currently appears to be at LOCKED DOWN momentarily. So lets live our BEST life now by all means in Christ Jesus.

I pray you have an awesome, amazing, gracious, graceful and a blessed day in everyway you do LIFE and GODLINESS.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” John 17:3.

“Because thou SERVEDST not the Lord thy God with JOYFULNESS, and with GLADNESS of HEART, for the ABUNDANCE of all things; 48 therefore shalt thou SERVE thine ENEMIES which the Lord shall send against thee, in HUNGER, and in THIRST, and in NAKEDNESS, and in WANT of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee” Deuteronomy 28:47-48.

God is FAITHFUL to His PROMISES

By Leave a Comment

God is FAITHFUL to His PROMISES: He watches over His PROMISED WORD to make it – YES AND AMEN!

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

“Let us hold fast the PROFESSION [DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCEMENT, PROCLAMATION] of our faith without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

The promises of God are Yes and Amen. And God is committed to making His promised WORD to become your realities. And to do that, He’s called us into His fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ, and to ensure His faithful to His promised Word and and will be faithful as we go about processing, announcing, proclaiming, declaring and affirming His word as a seal to our desires of Him.

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN, UNTO THE GLORY OF GOD BY US. 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22.

Don’t give up on the good and goodness you are embarking on for the good and goodness of others in the faith journey, for your righteous acts in Christ Jesus stead, will surely be rewarded.

“Be ye strong therefore, and LET NOT YOUR HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

Every sacrifice for the cause of advancing the Gospel for the good and goodness of others to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay is noticeable and rewarding in this world and thereafter.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

God’s seeming delay is never a denial. God is not unfaithful, ungrateful, forgetful and unrighteous to overlook your good and goodness to others. For the Kingdom of God is about righteous causes, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit lead, hence your labour in the cause of righteousness can never be in vain, for momentarily delay should not make you quite for any reason. So, do the kingdom cause of our God through the act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and being JOYFUL in doing by the Holy Spirit lead.

“For the KINGDOM of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

So, don’t let the act of being persecuted and challenged and misconstrued rob you of your faithfulness on the righteous cause of doing good and goodness for others.

May you be accordingly BLESSED in the grace of righteousness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may the effect and work of righteousness in the cause of doing the righteous good and goodness envelope you in the grace as written:

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT of righteousness QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you do life and live godly to fulfill purpose in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Amen.
