BLESSEDNESS: A HAPPY AND GRACIOUS “INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY” TO YOU!
 
“Who can find a VIRTUOUS woman? for her PRICE is far ABOVE rubies . . .” Psalms 3110-31.
 
May God BLESS graciously all the Women, especially you reading, as they keep making an AWESOME difference in our WORLD, and for their good and goodness to all irrespective, for today and always. And this is as they wisely construct their home and Community, by making and building the life that shapes the world through and through times, by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“The WISE woman BUILDS her house [on a FOUNDATION of godly precepts, and her household thrives], But the FOOLISH one [who LACKS spiritual insight] TEARS it down with her own hands [BY IGNORING GODLY PRINCIPLES]” Proverbs 14:1/AMP.
 
And as for me – I mean, my own privilege and given World’s of DOING LIFE and GRACE – I am blessed in having these VITREOUS, LOVELY and LIVELY GRACIOUS BLESSEDNESS in my life – they are my pride in the now; and I can make an emboldened scriptural declaration of goodly heritage to my God in the respect of Proverbs 31:10-31 concerning them.
 
Thank you Father God for the incredible women of great repute, honour, noble, integrity, diligence, industrious and strength that You’ve graciously surrounds my life with on day to day in Your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT:
 
“Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
13 She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14 She is like the merchants’ ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
15 She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens.
16 She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
17 She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
18 She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
20 She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy.
21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet.
22 She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple.
23 Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land.
24 She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.
25 Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.
26 She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
27 She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her.
29 Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all.
30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.
31 Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates” Proverbs 31:10-31.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

By Leave a Comment

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!
 
“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP.
 
Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as
 
I hereby state:
 
“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”
 
However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.
 
The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:
 
CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.
 
CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.
 
The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.
 
Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).
 
“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and BRING all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” John 14:25-26.
 
“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”: THROUGH THE “KNOWLEDGE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
 
“And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as TOUCHED were MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE” Matthew 14:34-36.
 
“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.
 
Lots of Believer’s supposedly in the Faith of Christ Jesus stead, are living outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD; many are MORE captivated and influenced by the religious and denominational rites and doctrinal ordinances as they strictly adhere and follow without check and balance – which is through the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus stead. For the Scriptures makes it very clear that not ALL HAVE FAITH in the FAITH in Christ Jesus – meaning not all have their spirit being built upon the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus, which principle CONTEXT is of the WORD of God that builds and establishes the FAITH in all that comes to God in Christ Jesus. Amen – 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (1-4); Romans 10:17; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:8-12; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17.
 
I want you to know full well, that it’s the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH that one possess within, that sets one FREE – SAVES, DELIVERS and LIBERATES – from all forms of limitations and restrictions and bondages outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD. John 8:32; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Acts 4:12.
 
And through KNOWLEDGE you communicate the WORD OF FAITH to matters. it’s only by communicating the WORD OF FAITH to MATTERS of doing life and living godly through the KNOWLEDGE of the GOOD did, that’s DONE and DEED in Christ Jesus, that brings genuine liberty and freedom, that all seeks to attain and possess, in order to be fulfilled in God, in Christ Jesus stead – Philemon 1:4-6; Romans 10:8-13, 17.
 
“Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I PROFIT you, except I shall SPEAK to you either by REVELATION, or by KNOWLEDGE, or by PROPHESYING, or by DOCTRINE? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be KNOWN what is piped or harped?” 1 Corinthians 14:6-7.
 
Many are in captivity and in various self-afflicted bondage for their lack of PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE which indeed is dangerous, jeopardous and worrisome each time I recall – how many SUFFERED in the Bible days as written:
 
“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thought shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.
 
“Therefore my people are GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.
 
Besides, the indicative of the above mentioned scriptures, many also, are working and walking in ERRORS and are been MISTAKEN for lack of KNOWLEDGE as it affects the path of doing life and living godly as the religious SADDUCEES where, in the days of Christ Jesus humanity, as it’s written.
 
“The same day came to Him (Jesus Christ) the SADDUCEES, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (IN ERROR AND MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.
 
Therefore I plead with you today to get engrossed with doing life and godly living THROUGH KNOWLEDGE for these but not limited reasons:
 
DELIVERANCE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:
 
” . . . but THROUGH KNOWLEDGE shall the just be DELIVERED” Proverbs 11:9.
 
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
 
GRACE AND PEACE, DIVINE POWER AND DIVINE NATURE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:
 
“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.
 
TO ESCAPE POLLUTION OF THE WORLD – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:
 
“For if after they have ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS of the world THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” 2 Peter 2:20.
 
WISDOM AND REVELATION – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!
 
“. . .16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM: 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.
 
OVERCOME BARRENNESS AND UNFRUITFULNESS – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!
 
“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:8.
 
RENEW, REFRESH, REJUVENATE – IN THE KNOWLEDGE
 
“And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him” Colossians 3:10.
 
I will like you to take an assignment for yourself by making out time toward searching the scriptures to find out, mark and highlights every SCRIPTURAL places that indicates – THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, BY KNOWLEDGE, IN KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH LIKE. You will discover lots of what you’ve become in God, in Christ Jesus stead. It will bring forth a transformation and translation that will revitalise you beyond words because of the insights and foresight trajectory of the revelation you will receive of God. Give you go from today.
 
Be Blessed with God’s enabling POWER to FUNCTION and His GRACE to BECOME accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.
“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Ephesians 4:8-16).
 
“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing” Philippians 3:7-16.
 
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
 
“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the Congregation of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

“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.
 
One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.
 
And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.
 
There are Seven(7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?
 
When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.
 
In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving.
 
You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a heart of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.
 
Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.
 
Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:
 
POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).
 
RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).
 
WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc).
 
STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).
 
HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).
 
GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).
 
BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).
 
I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
 
“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.
 
“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

GENUINE LOVE: KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!

By Leave a Comment

GENUINE LOVE: KNOWS NO FEAR IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
Genuine Love, which is of God – KNOWS NO FEAR – for as God is in love in Christ Jesus – so ARE we in His world in and for this world 1 John 4:17-18.
 
“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

Love is gracious and nobody ever reject genuine love when it shows up. Not even the Devil if he has an opportunity to be shown which unfortunately not available to his and cohorts reach.

HAVE YOU BEEN SO DISAPPOINTED IN LOVE? ARE YOU NOW AFRAID OF LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE?
 
That shouldn’t be, for GENUINE love which is of God in human HEARTS, and not in the human HEAD, have – no fear, intimidation, timidity, cowardice, wickedness and evil in it, except there’s PERVERSION.

For its when PURPOSE of a thing is misappropriated that ABUSE and PERVERSION sets in. And that’s not enough to be afraid in living and walking in love. 
 
The Genuine – LOVE OF GOD – is possible and it’s here: it’s graciously and lavishly shared abroad in our HEARTS (spirit being) by the Holy Spirit is given to us.
 
“. . . the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.
 
Perfect love, meaning, genuine love will cast out the spirit of fear, cowardice and inferiority complex of all forms of perversion. God is love, He can’t offer or make you live and walk in fear when you are living and walking in His love. Where genuine love is – shows up, there is no room for lust or hate or selfishness or greed or any form of perversion.
 
JUST KNOW THIS – GENUINE LOVE OF GOD – KNOWS NO FEAR – FOR AS HE’S IN LOVE – SO ARE WE IN HIS WORLD OF LOVE, IN THIS WORLD.
 
Check-list yourself today, IF IN FEAR, CAST IT OUT in God’s love. And Be FREE and be BLESSED.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Herein is our love MADE PERFECT, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE PERFECT IN LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.
 
“In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love [dread does not exist]. But PERFECT (complete, full-grown) love drives out FEAR, because Fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is AFRAID [of God’s judgment] is not PERFECTED in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]” 1 John 4:17-18 (Amplified).

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7.
 
“For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Amplified).
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT MAN) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5-8.

OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED – BY LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.
 
Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.
 
Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).
Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.
 
DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:
 
1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.
 
2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).
 
3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.
Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).
 
Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.
 
IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.
 
“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.
 
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14.
 
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s” Psalms 103:1-5.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!
 
No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to it. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.
 
Leadership MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time and materials are involved. A clear cutting-edge vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involve.
 
The Eagles are known to be visionary, because of its highly sighted eyes. Foresight and insight is the great attributes that characterised this awesome creation of God. Hence it can take on it’s prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style.
 
Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like collapses. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ENSURE the atmosphere you want to enjoy as VISIONED and VISUALISED.
 
So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning endeavour to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT.
 
REMEMBER – READ BEFORE YOU RUN
 
IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.
 
“I will STAND upon MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; BECAUSE IT WILL SURELY COME, IT WILL NOT TARRY. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.
 
“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES

By Leave a Comment

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!

“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.

Until one begins to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and it’s REALITIES of the Spirit can’t be ACTUALISED in the FULLNESS of God’s given grace wherein we stand in the Faith that JUSTIFIES us and give us ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and more within you, if you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience and more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit and not just the TALK.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week into another month to another month into the years as the Lord God tarries, it’s time not to hold back but to TRANSLATE your God given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED and SYNCHRONISED within us into the image of Christ Jesus stead.

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are CHANGED into the SAME IMAGE from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord” 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.

Enjoy your day folks, because ‘A NEW DAY IS DAWN’ for a NEW YOU and for your BEST life, for a GREATER you in the greater God. Therefore, go do the LIVING and the WALKING, and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it only.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 (CONDUCT) 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” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.

“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,  23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.  24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
