God’s PASTORAL Set-Man: Feed the SHEEP of God with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING!

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

In this age of multifarious and multi-various MULTIMEDIA – TELEVISION, RADIO and SOCIAL MEDIA platforms and such like – you can read, hear and watch all sorts of INFORMATION. Sometimes you wonder from which pit of hell are some of the stuffs coming from. However, in all, God had promised to give us Pastor’s [Shepherd], that will feed us with the knowledge of His will and purpose concerning us, and to our understanding of Him in our redemption in Christ Jesus. Shepherd that will lead us by His WORD in Christ Jesus, and not by traditions, gimmicks, indoctrination, dogmas, creeds and such like acts of prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and BRING them in, that the CONGREGATION of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.”  Numbers 27:16-17.

In the word of Apostle Paul in the Holy Writ, some people have twisted the Holy Scriptures to appeal to denominational dogmas, creed, traditions and oblations; while some are not fully explained in order to appeal to certain groups of people’s sentiments and bye-laws; and while others are deliberately made to create havoc in the Churches of Christ to appeal to popular opinions; and while there are those who in love are truly committed and dedicated to the cause of the Gospel in Christ Jesus stead, as Apostle Paul will say in all these as enjoined in the Holy writs.

“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” Philippians 1:15-18.

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, 7 which is not another; but there are SOME who TROUBLE you and want to PERVERT the GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH any other GOSPEL to you than what we have PREACHED to you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone PREACHES any other GOSPEL to you than what you have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9/NKJV.

It’s a high TIME for God’s precious PEOPLE to truly CRAVE  for genuine KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s precious WORD of LIFE in all sincerity in the midst of the FALSEHOOD, FAKE NEWS, ADULTERATED and COUNTERFEIT that runs and tends to rule in the various MULTIMEDIA platforms in our today worlds.

THEREFORE I SAY:

** Are You A Believer In Christ Jesus? Do you belong to an Assembly or Denomination where the fellowship of brethren and worship of God in Christ Jesus takes place?

Ensure you steadfastly and steadily BELONG to a Local Assembly where you know and are known of other Brethren; and don’t be a SPIRITUAL HARLOT running from Church to Church with no steady or stable place to account or count of you as a devotional worshipper with other people of God. It’s good, gracious and graceful for you to ENSURE you have a place you BELONG and you can call THERE – a place you entrust your well being in SCRIPTURAL TRUTH in Christ Jesus; and is the place where you are FEED with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God in Christ Jesus just as the BEREAN CHRISTIAN’S. Jeremiah 3: 15; Acts 17:10-13. And hopefully, is not a place of gimmicks, philosophy, traditions, dogmas, oblations, creed, bye-laws and trash of what you want to hear even when it’s clear there are unscriptural – for in such atmosphere you will be as guilty as that so called Pastoral whom you can sense Scripturally that he/she has lost it, while you still listen to and desire such error and mistaken preaching and teaching to fill up your void places.

** Are you a GOSPEL Minister to the congregation of God’s precious people?

Ensure you FEED them to the KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING of our God in doing life on earth for good, while heavenly mindful; and as a goodwill minister of grace and Pastoral Shepherd of God’s precious people – and Not A Story Teller, Dubious, Cunning, Crafty Manipulator and or as a Extortionate.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the congregation, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.”  Numbers 27:16-17.

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA. When they arrived, they went into the SYNAGOGUE of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES DAILY to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED, and also not a few of the Greeks, PROMINENT women as well as men” Acts 17:10-12.

“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” Philippians 1:15-18.

COLOUR YOUR WORLDS

By Leave a Comment

COLOUR YOUR WORLDS: DO YOUR LIFE A FAVOUR BY COLOURING YOUR ‘WORLDS’ THROUGH FAITH!

“The earth is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

You are the custodian of your happiness, joy, peace, dignity, honour and more in the world wherein God have placed you to have an oversight upon as His CHOSEN GENERATION and an EMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, to show forth His awesome praise and wonders while in the earth for His Kingdom to advance while the enemy and cohorts are kept at bay.

“But ye are a CHOSEN GENERATION, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of Him who hath called you out of darkness into His marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“. . . 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:20 [17-21].

I don’t know what your ‘WORLDS’ seems to be, at this very moment. But one thing I do know is that you can create the atmosphere of the gracious ‘worlds’ you will love to live on daily.

“Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of THINGS which do APPEAR” Hebrews 11:3.

Your faith in God through His WORD and by the working power of the blessed Holy Spirit can make all the difference.

Your intended worlds of excitement and rejuvenation, in respect to joy, peace, love, relationship, marriage, family, finance, career, ministry and more, are embedded on and in your FAITH.

You can frame, colour your worlds today with the atmosphere you will really love to do life with. I pray you God’s grace and blessings as you remain steadfast in Faith to colour your worlds.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE the earth, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“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.

“O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens . . . 4 WHAT IS MAN, THAT THOU ART MINDFUL OF HIM? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE him a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION over the works of thy hands; thou hast PUT all things under his feet: 7 all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field; 8 the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas . . .” Psalms 8:1-9.

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE

By Leave a Comment

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE: IT’S THE DAY OF GOD’S POWER AND OUR STRENGTH COMES OUT OF ZION – THE CHURCH!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise – And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Individuals, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in the midst of all the hates and attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

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

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I MAKE Your ENEMIES Your footstool.” 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF YOUR STRENGTH OUT OF ZION. RULE in the MIDST of Your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS in the DAY OF YOUR POWER; In the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the DEW [ANOINTING] of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV.

It’s time to readily VOLUNTEER and be WILLING as God’s UNPARALLELED STRENGTH that’s designed and structured as a default to come through ZION, which is the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For there, we shall RULE and REIGN over the ENEMY and COHORTS, in all their mode of operandi. For the refreshing, anointing and rejuvenating energy of the youth synergy for innovation, creativity, exploring and initiative, is within our being, to do EXPLOIT in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO READILY VOLUNTEER AND BE WILLING TO GIVE HOPE AND A FUTURE TO OUR GENERATION WITHOUT COMPRISES OF OUR FAITH IN OUR GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. ARE YOU READILY READY TO VOLUNTEER? WILL YOU WATCH THE ENEMY AND COHORTS HAVE THEIR WAY WHILE YOU WATCH? I HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND SAID YES LORD TO YOUR WILL!

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people 69 and hath raised up an HORN of salvation for us in the HOUSE of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the MOUTH of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that HATE us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT fear, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL the DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

“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.

“He DISAPPOINTETH the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot perform their ENTERPRISE. 13 He TAKETH the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG” Job 5:12-13.

THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME [TOTAL, WHOLE, COMPLETE]

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME [TOTAL, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: IT ENRICHES AND IT’S SORROW FREE!

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

I charged you today and now, to ALWAYS remember this – that God will PROSPER the WORKS of your hands and wellbeing; and as you are being BLESSED – [empowered by God’s enabling grace] to – SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME and PROSPER (THRIVE), His intent it’s about making you to be a BLESSING, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, ENRICHES all, and it’s without sorrow, and it’s whole, meaning it’s total and complete, and it’s without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation to all irrespective. For our God only offers wholeness just as our living Lord God Jesus lives while in humanity in wholeness as written:

“And Jesus INCREASED in wisdom (MENTALLY) and stature (PHYSICALLY), and in FAVOUR with God (SPIRITUALLY) and man (SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY)” Luke 2:52 Emphasis Mine.

And God, in giving His enabling POWER [CAPACITY, CAPABILITY, KNOW-HOW] to you,  it’s for you to GET [CREATE] wealth; and He ensures His intent by assuring you us to thrive in His initiatives of innovating, creating, initiating and exploring by the endowment and enduement that He had made available to us in His grace. And He accomplishes this intent by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS just as He accomplished the works of the hands of Isaac and established and fulfilled the promised of His covenant as written:

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [CAPACITY, CAPABILITY, KNOW-HOW] to GET [CREATE] WEALTH [PROSPERITY], that he may ESTABLISH His COVENANT which He sware unto thy FATHERS, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine [Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14].

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER [the enabling RIGHTS, PRIVILEGE, CAPACITY] to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12/Emphasis Mine.

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

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he OUGHT to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE of faith” Romans 12:3.

And there’s no gender, colour, tongue and such like limitations and restrictions, in the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, the God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus as we do life and live godly is whole, total and complete without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

And may as God BLESSES – PROSPERS you  in His BLESSEDNESS, that is, cause the works of your hands to THRIVE, may you as being BLESSED, also become a BLESSING as spoken of God to the patriarch – Father Abraham on our behalf, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 12:1-3].

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – ABOUT IT!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not SEEN the RIGHTEOUS FORSAKEN, nor his seed BEGGING bread” Psalms 37:25.

“Let them SHOUT for joy, and be glad, that favour my RIGHTEOUS cause: yea, let them say CONTINUALLY, Let the Lord be MAGNIFIED, which hath PLEASURE in the PROSPERITY of his servant” Psalms 35:27.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good HEALTH [PHYSICALLY], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will MAKE of thee a GREAT nation, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and CURSE him that CURSETH thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE OF FAITH, the same ARE THE CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL UNTO ABRAHAM, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14.

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither BOND NOR FREE, there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s SEED, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:26-29.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

“And there was a FAMINE in the land, beside the first FAMINE that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar. 2 And the Lord APPEARED unto him, and said, GO NOT DOWN INTO EGYPT; DWELL in the land which I shall tell thee of: 3 sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will BLESS thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will PERFORM the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; 4 and I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED; 5 because that Abraham OBEYED my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws . . . 12 Then Isaac SOWED in that land, and RECEIVED in the SAME YEAR an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. 13 And the man WAXED great, and went forward, and grew until he BECAME very great: 14 for he had POSSESSION of flocks, and POSSESSION of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines ENVIED him” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-14.

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME AS CHRIST’S AMBASSADOR: THE HOLY SPIRIT DEFAULT LOVE THAT ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS FOR AN AMBASSADOR!

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God for God’s AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the only purpose driven enabling in the grace, to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and to advance the kingdom cause. And here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in the default LOVE of God, knowing that LOVE is God and is of God; and it’s the default LOVE is the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Take the Holy Spirit out of God’s love, one is then bound to have an adulteration and distortion of the love context that’s built on sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation. For its upon the Holy Spirit default LOVE for God, we can then OCCUPY in Christ until he comes to “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED” in the grace, wherein we stand in the faith.

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:7–10, 16-18.

Love is an attitude, and of a deliberate and intentional choice, and an exercise of the will, and a gracious choice to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature and person of God by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus, hence it’s spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very human hearts [spirit-being] of all God’s human creation that’s reborn of God in Christ Jesus; and more importantly, it’s in the very nature of the redeemed child of God, filled and led by the Holy Spirit to fulfil purpose meaningfully. The Holy Spirit default love is not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. The Holy Spirit default love outlived generations because it’s timeless and it’s of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. For God is love personified in our spirit-being for our well-being in Christ Jesus.

The Holy Spirit default LOVE of God is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. And FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – AGAPE – is for the reborn of God and is a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us as written:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:22-23.

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth” Ephesians 5:9.

To OCCUPY TILL I COME as Christ’s ambassador, is by doing life and living godly by the Holy Spirit default LOVE; and this default of LOVE, gives the enabling to enhance earthly usefulness and heavenly mindedness for an ambassador for Christ. Let’s therefore consider LOVE in diversity for a clearer understanding of the various kinds of LOVE being implied in this context that’s applicable for the good of humans.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE THAT AFFECTS THE HUMANS – BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT [1 THESSALONIANS 5:23; HEBREWS 4:12-13]:

  1. The PHILEO love: Grk (of the soul) – The Love relationship in family – which is between parent and child, otherwise, 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. The EROS Love: Grk (of the Physical body) – The Sexual kind of love, which is pure and purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Unfortunately, lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION, DISTORTION and ADULTERATION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences and effects across the board. [Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20].
  3. The AGAPE Love: Grk (of the spirit) – The God kind of love; the kind of love that’s unconditional, limitless, divine and spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. The love without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation – [1 Corinthians 13:1-13]. It’s built on PRINCIPLE and does not demand but gives. Agape love even helps to ENSURE, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the vitality of the phileo and the EROS kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is a faith-based principle on the word of God – which is towards empowering people as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Notably, the PHILEO or EROS kinds of Love, need to be controlled and subjected by the AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder and affects our fellowship with God and leads to unwelcome SIN and sinful acts. [E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36].

Therefore, as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, let’s not just say we have love, but let’s go forth in the grace, and LIVE and WALK in the Holy Spirit default LOVE, knowing that love is of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit is given to only the Believer’s [reborn] of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you”  John 14:16-17.

Dear friend and beloved of God in Christ Jesus, just know that’s it’s a high time to LIVE and WALK in love. Lets make it happen, for the charge – OCCUPY TILL I COME – as AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST, is the essence; and by the Holy Spirit of LOVE default, the Believer’s in Christ Jesus can then enhances earthly usefulness and the heavenly mindedness.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified.

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.

This thus means that,  you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.

And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS

ENSURE PURE THOUGHTS: GARRISON YOUR HEARTS DILIGENTLY WITH GRACE – THE ISSUES OF YOUR LIFE WELL-BEING DEPENDS ON IT!

“GUARD your HEART ABOVE all else, for it DETERMINES the COURSE of your LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 NLT.

As a man thinks so is he, the Scriptures says. You become the thoughts of your being over time. If you dwell on IMPURE THOUGHTS, soonest you become it. When you give your hearts to PURE THOUGHTS, you become same. Therefore, garrison your hearts with pure thoughts diligently and live free from impurities. And FEED NOT ON IMPURE THOUGHTS TRANSMISSION from any if you want the good health of your total well-being.

“FOR AS HE THINKS IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE [in BEHAVIOR—one who MANIPULATES]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is BEGRUDGING the cost]” Proverbs 23:7/Amplified.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

Make no relationship with person or people of impure thoughts, lest you become as them. A pure conscience and good heartedness and love unfeigned and sincere faith in God in Christ Jesus, should be your watchword. Let there be no intimate fellowship with any who devote their life with solely IMPURE messages and information by any media formats – written, audio, video or pictorial. Soonest that seed of impurities will define your thinking process. Ensure you stop such person or group from setting their messes on you before they ruin you. You may not be able to stop person’s or people from coming around you, but you can stop them from leaving their IMPURE THOUGHTS transmission formats from getting into you.

“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“Unto the PURE ALL THINGS ARE PURE: but unto them that are DEFILED AND UNBELIEVING IS NOTHING PURE; but even their MIND and CONSCIENCE is DEFILED” Titus 1:15.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

Ensure you garrison your hearts with the WORD OF GRACE that will keep you safe in order to create a magnetic field and force that becomes your default to filter out and disallow any entrance of such defiled and impure messages into your hearts.

“My son, give ATTENTION TO MY WORDS; INCLINE your EAR to my SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them DEPART from your EYES; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And HEALTH to all their flesh” Proverbs 4:20-22/NKJV.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32.

Guard your hearts safely, for out of it are issues to define your well being. For your life follows after your thoughts. Your thoughts process your direction of life travels. BE SAFE from every adulteration that flys around you no matter who may be transmitting such. It’s your life, and it’s within your will to say NO!

“KEEP (GUARD) thy HEART with all DILIGENCE (VIGILANCE); for out of it are the ISSUES (SPRINGS) of LIFE” Proverbs 4:23 (Emphasis Mine).

I do hope and pray that you will intentionally resolved within you to keep at arms length any source or means of that which does not build your faith in God in Christ Jesus; and all that’s it’s an avenue of stain, pollution and disdain of the enemy and cohorts, that you must keep at bay in order for you to advance in the kingdom cause of God; and you do this, not necessarily only for yourself but for all that concerns you, and those you love and cares about without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“And Jesus KNOWING their THOUGHTS said, Wherefore THINK ye EVIL (IMPURE) in your HEARTS?” Matthew 9:4 (Emphasis Mine)

“Now the PURPOSE of the commandment is LOVE from a PURE HEART, from a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and from SINCERE FAITH, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.” 1 Timothy 1:5-7/NKJV.

“EAT thou not the BREAD of him that hath an EVIL EYE, neither desire thou his dainty meats: 7 FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. 8 The MORSEL which thou hast EATEN shalt thou vomit up, AND LOSE THY SWEET WORDS” Proverbs 23:6-8.

“But those things which PROCEED out of the MOUTH come forth from the HEART; and they DEFILE the man. 19 For out of the HEART PROCEED EVIL (IMPURE) THOUGHTS, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 these are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man” Matthew 15:18-20 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are DESTROYING SOPHISTICATED ARGUMENTS and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up AGAINST the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every THOUGHT and PURPOSE captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.  15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. DO NOT LET ANYONE DESPISE YOU” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“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.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD through FAITH that overshadow one’s being in that SUCCESS. For one to be enriches with INNER peace and tranquility, one must know that it’s of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise  it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

“He that TILLETH his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let not your HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

FEAR NOT – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S BATTLE AXE

By Leave a Comment

FEAR NOT – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S BATTLE AXE: AND YOUR FREEDOM AND OVERCOMING CAPACITY IN CHRIST JESUS – IS A DONE DEED!

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

Fear is the enemy and cohorts assigned policing factor to make any captive, that gives out their permission – long before it MAKES any a prey and victim. Hence, we mustn’t welcome or entertain or give permission to any act of fear or fear phobias around us either in words or in deeds. We are born of God in Christ Jesus to be emboldened in grace; we are not to live, work and walk in the spirit of fear while we claimed to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. We need to know for certainly, that where fear exist and operates, that God is not there and faith doesn’t exist or function to give the needed leverage in an onward and upward trajectory.

“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.

Fear breeds torments, shame, brokenness and intimidation. It robs one of vision, guidance, confidence, assurance, health and such like the more. Fear can cripple one’s joy, happiness and success when not checked by love and faith in the hope of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. For our genuine freedom from fear is our FAITH on the done work of Christ for us in REDEMPTION.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

For you are God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War. And by walking in FAITH through LOVE, you can SUBJUGATE the spirit of FEAR, because the opposite of FEAR is to have FAITH on the authority of the infallible word of God in the context of all things created, known and unknown. For perfect love cast out the spirit of FEAR in all ramifications in doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Herein is our love made PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE], that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT love CASTETH out FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

There are over 365 fear not in the Scriptures to keep you through the 365/366 days in a normal and leap year. But you have to step out in FAITH in the done work of God in Christ Jesus, to OVERCOME fear and the fear phobias. You need to be emboldened in Christ Jesus stead today, by dusting off the spirit of cowardice and intimidation; and then raise your head up, shoulders high and then put on the high heels of FAITH to take on the enemy and cohorts policing factor called FEAR with your FAITH, when it shows up in your PATH of doing life and living godly.

May you come to know and ensure, that God by Christ Jesus, have DELIVERED you from the grip and power of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and TRANSLATED and POSITIONED you in His emboldened Kingdom of PEACE, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JOY in the Holy Ghost. Amen.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for usin the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS

By Leave a Comment

THE GLORIOUS CHURCH OF CHRIST JESUS: THE CHURCH – IS THE YOU – AND IS STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT!

“When He had DISARMED the RULERS and AUTHORITIES [those SUPERNATURAL FORCES of EVIL operating AGAINST us], He made a PUBLIC EXAMPLE [SPECTACLE] of them [EXHIBITING them as CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to individual life’s, family homes, communities, nations and more. And you are that Church, and you are STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT and TRIUMPHANT. However, we need only to engage with the good spiritual warfare and the good fight of faith – which thus indicates that you can be busy and wrongly fighting a bad fight and a bad warfare – hence you must intentionally and pragmatically choose your battles to avoid being a victim and prey and captive.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE . . .” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

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

However, the glorious Church though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, should know also, is a triumphant Church. A church that’s enacting and authenticating from the position of TRIUMPH and not striving to win the battle because the battle had been won and the Church is an OVERCOMER, VICTORIOUS and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus. And each warfare and battle refine, refreshes, energizes and renews the Church; hence the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, dilute and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim rather than a victor. You are a VICTOR, WINNER, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS anyday and anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

For the GREATER one lives in you 24/7 to keep you STRONG and STRENGHTEN in His BLESSEDNESS as His Ambassador. And much more, the KNOWING that your STRENGHT is in the Lord and not in yourself, makes the battle WON before and ahead of the start.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS, to be STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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