THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!
 
“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED.
 
Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.
 
“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.
 
There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.
 
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.
 
I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.
 
“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]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.
 
“For God is not unrighteous 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.
 
“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.
 
“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.
 
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!
 
“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance:and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.
 
WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.
 
And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing – called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.
 
To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:
 
PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:
 
PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. It thus also mean that being passionate about something’s as in – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing:
 
“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).
 
PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:
 
KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.
 
However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written:
“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).
 
PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:
 
UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.
 
For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:
 
“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.
 
“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.
 
Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of Passion, knowledge and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.
 
“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.
 
“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).
 
“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

TAKE AN HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL

TAKE AN HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL: YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP WORKING – AND TAKE A BREAK!
 
“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had DONE and TAUGHT. 31 He said to them, “COME AWAY BY YOURSELVES to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for THERE WERE MANY [PEOPLE who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they COULD NOT even FIND TIME to EAT. 32 And they WENT AWAY by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32/AMP.
 
This morning I notice my ISP WiFi was not transmitting fully or very well because most of the in-house and office devices that uses WiFi where not responding as expected. I notice a frozen state indicating that I have to shut the mains down for some couple of minutes and then reset (reboot) the mains and devices again. Lo, behold, each of the devices just retain full strength and back up again, then I remembered that the ISP main hub has been working for a very long time in months without a time or space for rest though it’s a working material or device as designed.
 
How much more for you and I to see the need to REST and have LEISURE in order to regain a full strength instead of waiting until our body, soul and spirit breaks down as I almost experience few days ago. Hence I can say thanks to God for some good government in governance and employer’s of labour that ensures and assures holidays day as sets by the state and international body are honoured; and as I have equally leant to discipline myself to take a work time break for break and not for anything else irrespective. It helps to rejuvenate, refresh and synergies your wellbeing with wholeness.
 
Jesus knew how important it means to REST and have LEISURE after a while as He exhort the disciples to do like-wise in Mark 6:30-32. Much more, there’s the spiritual rest of your triune-being, which is a consequence of praying in the Spirit as enjoined in the Bible book of Isaiah 28:9-12 and Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 1:20 and 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39 respectively; It’s indicated and expressed by the Isaiah scripture especially, the very vitality and importance of spiritual rest; it’s a very refreshing medicine to your wholesome being – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13].
 
Therefore, TODAY, THIS DAY, begin to create and take time to rest, have leisure, for many have come and gone working so much hard and HARDWORKING as they claimed and are short-lived in the midst of their time without fulfilling purpose, instead of them working by being smart and SMARTWORKING, in taking time off-work and working overload, knowing and seeing the act of the wisdom of God for their good and goodness, and as a wellbeing medicine that’s needful as Jesus enjoined – to take a get away HOLIDAY in order to EAT, REST and have LEISURE. [Mark 6:30-32].
 
I pray you will be wise enough to live by the wisdom of God, in taking time to have rest and leisure; and to create opportunities for holidays and to take work time break for holidays and to ensure it in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
YOUR HOLIDAY TIME IS FOR REST AND LEISURE – DO ENSURE IT FOR YOUR GOOD AND HEALTHY LIVING.

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO-FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING-FRUIT BEARING

By Leave a Comment

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO-FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING-FRUIT BEARING: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE AND ABIDING IN HIS WORD!
 
“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.
 
Desiring to be FRUITFUL? Desiring to ensure and be assured in FRUITFULNESS? Desiring to MATURE and be MATURING in FRUIT bearing? Desiring to abound in ABIDING FRUIT Bearing? That’s all possible in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Our Heavenly Father wants you in Christ Jesus stead to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in doing life and living godly in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. He wants you to be able to live meaningfully fulfilled in all you do, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, there’s the need for PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL living, in order to ensure FRUITFULNESS to THRIVE, toward a FULFILLING life.
 
PURPOSEFUL LIVING comes by ABIDING In God’s LOVE which is secured in ABIDING in His WORD. It therefore means, that as you ABIDE in God’s WORD, you will THRIVE in phases. Doing life are in PHASES just as men are in SIZES. However, SIZE only depends on how more or much one can take on the various PHASES that one encounters in the course and cause of time in doing life. It’s at this LIFE PHASES state, that the definition as to whether one is either going to THRIVE or be a SURVIVAL of the fittest as sometimes acclaimed. The phases in God’s BLESSEDNESS are culled from the Holy Writ of John 15:1-16, and every phase are very vital and important indeed. Herein are these PHASES:
1. A NO FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
2. A FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
3. A MORE FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
4. A MUCH FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 5, 8
5. And an ABIDING FRUIT stage – Vs 16
THRIVING is an essence of God as in the above phases; and it must be noted that God takes one through the PHASES so that one can be able to be FRUITFUL, that’s FRUIT BEARING; more so, that one can eventually earn or attain to such MATURITY in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
I pray you will THRIVE through each PHASE state with ease in grace; and by abiding in God’s LOVE and His WORD, you will in LIFE and GRACE, ABIDE in FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may this SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS of Philippians 1:9-11 and Ephesians 3:14-19, ABOUND with you as written:
 
“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.
 
“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might through His Spirit in the INNER man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may bring FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man ABIDE not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might REMAIN (ABIDE) in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN (ABIDE, ABOUND): that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.
 
“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may ABOUND to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being ENRICHED in every thing to all BOUNTIFULNESS, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.
 
“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the Spirit is IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.
 
“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.
 
“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:11.

MONTH MAY – “ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION”

By Leave a Comment

MONTH MAY – “ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION”: THE FATHER GOD’S REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
“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 . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.
 
The Father God’s REDEMPTION deed in Christ Jesus, amounts to our access to “ENSURING OUR INHERITANCE IN REDEMPTION”; for our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, received the inheritance of God’s BLESSEDNESS for us to do life and live godly in humanity in Him. And our place is to ensure our inheritance into reality and tangibility, as Father God in Christ Jesus has BLESSED us, CHOSEN us, PREDESTINATED us and ACCEPTED us, according to the good pleasure of His will.
 
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein He hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . .” Ephesians 1:3 -10.
 
The New Creation, who is the born of God Believer in Christ Jesus, is REDEEMED with a DNA default of blessedness – an inheritance to be ensured in order to assure our justification of God in the grace, wherein the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus, can take a stand by faith, lifting the holy hands without shame, fear, guilty, wrath and doubting and more; and the Believing one of God in Christ Jesus is able to take a stand against any intimidation by the enemy and cohorts of our faith – and as we stand under God’s grace enabling covering, we ensure our blessedness.. [Romans 5:1-2; 2 Timothy 1:7; 1 Timothy 2:8].
 
“The Lord is the portion of my INHERITANCE, my cup [He is all I need]; You support my lot. 6 The [boundary] LINES [of the land] have FALLEN for me in PLEASANT PLACES; Indeed, my HERITAGE is beautiful to me” Psalms 16:5-6/Amplified.
 
The REDEMPTION rights and privileges in respect to our inheritance in Christ Jesus, is a gracious done deed of our Father God for our life in the grace in Him. However, I do repeat that the reality and tangibility of the inheritance can only become meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling, when we do know and understand the whole ESSENCE of our inheritance in the REDEMPTION DEED; and when we intentionally and consciously live to ENSURE it as we do life and godliness in the grace we can actualise the reality and tangibility to our good and goodness.
 
The knowing and understanding of the essence of our inheritance in REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus, will saved one from running TO and FRO in looking for one so-called PROPHET or PROPHETESS to help us to access God and receive what He promised also by their fortune telling and divining spiritism in the name of giving PROPHECY to you of what’s already yours in the DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus. So ignorance must never be given any room to breath as Eve foolishly did by responding to the serpent suggestions that she will be god knowing good and evil if she eats the apple while she was already a god of the earth but sold her birthday inheritance through ignorance and negligence of the principles governing her in eden [Genesis 3:5; Psalms 82:6; John 10:34-35; Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:16-18].
 
Therefore, don’t let anyone deceive you for a special prayers, prophesy and offering in order for you to access your inheritance in redemption. Such acts of suggestion or seeking after is act of fraudulence and extortionist. I say this with great heartfelt pain knowing what I have seen happening among many vulnerable Believer’s that have been bold enough to come forth and share of the deception they have experience through ignorance, negligence and intimidation and such like.
 
I wants you to know dear reader for certainty, that there’s an INHERITANCE for you by Father God in Christ Jesus as a results of the REDEMPTION that had been accomplished for us. We need to know and understand full well that when Jesus LED captivity captive, He RECEIVED [INHERITANCE] GIFTS for all in Him. And your name is named in it amongst all, and it’s for you to partake in this gracious act of REDEMPTION and it’s DEED, for your meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
It’s imperative that you stand up in the grace and stir up your faith to ensure the inheritance promise in our redemption in Christ Jesus, is actualised meaningfully and purposefully as you do life and live godly in the grace.
 
You need to know that our Saviour and Lord – Jesus Christ, has by God, on our behalf RECEIVED GIFTS – INHERITANCE for all who accepts him as Saviour and Lord. The received inheritance of God on our behalf it’s part of ensuring our spiritual covenant that Christ Jesus entered with the Father God on our behalf. And these inheritance gifts for all mankind can be actualised in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. He didn’t RECEIVED it for Himself because He never needs it, but received it, simply for His REDEEMED FAMILY, which you are in Him. And are kept in the heavenly places of grace, wherein we are seated with Him at the right hand of the Father God, where no thief or robbers or wicked people can be able to invade and to dispossess it from us – [Ephesians 2:6-8; Ephesians 1:20-23; Matthew 6:19-21].
 
Herein is the RECEIVED COVENANT INHERITANCE DEED of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for your perusal. The knowing and understanding to actualised them will enhance on how you can then PRAY knowledgeably and understandably in matters of life and godly living in Christ Jesus. And in this context, we will be looking at the SEVEN UNCONDITIONAL redemptive inheritance that’s covenanted and RECEIVED on our behalf by Jesus Christ. There are summed up in the following:
 
1. Power (Authority) – Power of attorney to exercise dominion, victory, more than conquerors and triumph in life and godly living, in place of oppression, fear, intimidation, inferiority complex, cowardice etc. [Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7; John 1:12; Deuteronomy 8:18; etc].
2. Riches [Prosperity] – In place of poverty, hunger, thirst etc. [2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; 3 John 2. etc].
3. Wisdom [Mental] – In place of ignorance, foolishness etc. [James 1:5, Luke 2:40, 52. etc].
4. Strength [Physique] – In place of weakness, sickness and all ‘ness and infirmities etc. [Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-31. etc].
5. Honour [Dignity] – In place of dishonour, disdain, inferiority complex etc. [Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Timothy. 1:7. etc].
6. Glory [Splendor) – In place of shame, reproach, etc. [Isaiah 61:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9. etc].
7. Blessings [Grace] – The enabling and empowering virtue to thrive, succeed, achieve and become in life and godly living, in the places of curses, setbacks, stagnation, survival and more of such likes etc. [Ephesians. 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:3-4; John 10:10. etc].
 
And when you take a stand by FAITH in Christ Jesus to ensure these inheritance in our redemption, one can have become our reality and tangibility into real life as the Holy Scriptures do indicate. So therefore, ENACT and APPROPRIATE your inheritance graciously and gracefully in the grace.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]!
 
“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.
 
“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV).
 
Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God.
 
That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observed people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable.
 
God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25].
 
“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
 
Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context:
1. SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).
 
God does not wants us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of the “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him.
 
This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.
 
I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
 
THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURED THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IT’S EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE!
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God.
 
It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIMED to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirmed to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:
“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.
 
The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below.
 
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21.
 
Therefore, know today that your effectual communication of the faith – it’s embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23.
 
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.
 
“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 10:9-13.

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE

By Leave a Comment

IT TAKES UNDERSTANDING TO PROFIT IN THE GRACE: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING AND PASSION!
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
The principle of good success, excellence and genuine prosperity, is built on a process. That’s why whatever happens without a process is a fraud, for even in our redemption, our God, ensures it all works out in a process to and in Christ Jesus, and not by magical appearance. For genuine miracle is a consequence of God’s WORD that’s scripturally activated in a process within the context. Hence I have always said, and will always say, ‘until you UNDERSTAND whatever you claimed to KNOW or to have KNOWN in any matter of life and godliness, you are not better than the IGNORANT and the UNWISE fool’.
 
For the wisdom to succeed, prosper and excel in life is the application of knowledge. And the act of application requires an understanding of the process of the matter in context. So, there’s the need for the understanding to accompany any knowledgeable context, in order for the needed wisdom that attracts divine favours to be in operations.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS [Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient] is HARD [Difficult Challenging, Rough]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.
 
Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all challenges and changes of sphere, in life weather conditions.
 
“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish , Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine.
In the context of discussion, it thus means that:
 
Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.
 
Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem to yourself and to others probably one day.
 
Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.
 
Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position in terms of – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS [PHYSICAL/MENTAL EXERTION], MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and FINANCE under your watch.
 
More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.
 
In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVE with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen.
 
I know why the difference, the scriptures has an answer in all in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: GIVES ETERNAL LIFE ACCESS – IN OUR REDEMPTION!
 
“These words spake Jesus, and LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO HEAVEN, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast given Him power over ALL FLESH, that He should give ETERNAL LIFE to as many as thou hast given Him. 3 And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have FINISHED THE WORK which thou gavest Me to do. 5 And now, O Father, glorify thou Me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was . . . 24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which thou hast given Me: for thou lovedst Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father, the world hath NOT KNOWN thee: but I have KNOWN thee, and these have KNOWN that thou hast sent Me . . .” John 17:1-26.
 
The most profound High Priest PRAYERS for the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST of which you ARE and can be a PARTAKER of the grace in the Scriptures, was OFFERED by our Lord Jesus Christ while at the verged of the closure of His earthly Ministry in humanity, for the REDEMPTION of mankind – and that includes you knowingly and unknowingly.
 
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.
 
In the Holy Writ Book of John Chapter 17 is written of the most comprehensive INTERCESSORY PRAYERS ever made for the CAUSE of the good of His Church. Jesus in one of the verses OFFERED PRAYERS to the FATHER God that we might come to a place in the grace of the KNOWING [KNOWLEDGE] of the HOLY ONE [FATHER GOD and SON], so that we can ACTUALISE and LIVE in the REALM [SPHERE] of ETERNAL LIFE. A realm wherein we can comprehensively grab the fullness of His DONE DEED for us in Christ.
 
Christ Jesus was and is praying that – We might KNOW our Father God and Him [Christ Jesus] who was SENT by the Father, this thus indicates there is graciousness and gracefulness to attain in such REALM of PRAYERS – [John 17:3]. That is the REALM that can ENSURE that we can be able to articulate and authenticate His WILL [TESTAMENT] in Heaven into our Earthly affairs as He taught the Disciples and as us, on the HOW TO PRAY. Amen.
 
“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of His disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And He said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, SO IN EARTH. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke 11:1-4.
 
ETERNAL LIFE is the ETERNITY realm of God in doing life. And for us to actualise the fullness of our REDEMPTION in Him, we need to synchronize our spirit-being to that of the ETERNAL LIFE realm of God. For Father God has indeed, planted ETERNITY in us all – [Ecclesiastes 3:11/NKJV/AMP]. This is made possible by having the knowing and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in us.
 
“He has MADE everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man CANNOT find out [comprehend, grasp] what God has done [His overall plan] from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 [Amplified].
 
May I make bold to say that it is in keeping your eternal spirit-being alive that one can comprehend in essence the work [working] of God in man. And we are expected to WALK in this ETERNITY REALM if indeed we LIVE in this REALM too – [Galatians 5:25]]. Do you? And if not, it’s time to keep to the expected in order to make your prayers EASIER [EFFORTLESSLY] in the grace wherein we stand by God in Christ Jesus stead. For the eternal realm of eternity in the grace, is far beyond the realms of the FIVE SENSES. For the eternity realm of God in Christ Jesus stead for us is the REALM wherein the FIVE SENSES of mental facilities of reasoning, has been subjected and trained to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of the WORD of God, in order to sensitized and synchronised in practice, the difference between God’s DIVINE testament realm from the human sense and mental faculties realm of reasons, that’s limited in all ramifications.
 
“But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose SENSES and MENTAL faculties are TRAINED by practice to discriminate and distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to DIVINE or HUMAN law” Hebrews 5:14/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
I pray that you will see the need to articulate and synchronised your spirit BEING to this ETERNAL LIFE realm of eternity in the grace, in order to give and allow the HEAVENLY ACCESS to your EARTHLY affairs to ease your path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD GIVEN RESOURCES WITH RESOLVES

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD GIVEN RESOURCES WITH RESOLVES: TIME, EFFORTS [MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION], FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] AND PEOPLE!
 
Are you keen to live in the realm of a More Than CONQUERORS? Also keen To SUCCEED? Keen To EXCEL and be ABOVE ONLY? Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here is the WISDOM NUGGETS guide for now, for your today and tomorrow.
 
“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.
 
I want you to know that a colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousnesss, gracefulness and loveliness; however, it’s not a give away otherwise the beggar [slothful and sluggard] will ride with ease, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard [slothful] and idlers. It is for the RESOLVES to succeed, excel and to be above only, with a PRAGMATIC and INTENTIONAL plan, purpose and pursuit, and to BECOME in the grace, in order to attain to the fulness of God’s testament for them; for whatever had no process it’s an act of fraud, hence there’s the need to MAXIMISE your God given basic RESOURCES to do life and live godly in the grace and these are – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and PEOPLE; and experiencing the colourful and thriving life in the grace is possible as you earnestly and meaningfully endeavour to endorse, ensure and be assured of your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in the grace – for that’s to enable you to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you effortlessly and unhindered; also, with the enabling leverage toward an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30].
 
The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you readily and steadily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a more than conquerors that’s living victoriously, in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you. [1 John 4:4-16].
 
Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.
 
It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity I guessed.
 
I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!!
