“Thou art MY BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 with thee also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also break in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“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).

“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).

The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly.

In life and grace, people prosper and attained to the BLESSEDNESS of greatness, honour, noble and such like by either or all of these:

** By INHERITANCE in birth

** By ACHIEVEMENT in personal endeavours

In all these three aspects to greatness mentioned above, our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus, obtained, attained and received all on our behalf in God, to ENSURE and ASSURE that our redemption in Him is without prejudice and perfect – whole, complete, total, full and blessed. That’s why you’re possessing your possession it’s a certainty and we can ENACT and AUTHENTICATE them to reality and tangibility. [Ephesians 1:15-23; Ephesians 3:14-21; John 17:1-9; Philippians 3:20-21; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-11; Revelation 5:9-12; etc]. And as He is, so are we in this world to access fully our possession in His purpose for us. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 John 4:17-18; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:3-12].

“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.

THERE IS THE NEED TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME

By Leave a Comment

THERE IS THE NEED TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME: AND TO WHOM ON WHAT YOU DO BELIEVE – THAT MAKES YOU BECOME!

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen . . . 3 By FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS were FRAMED by THE WORD of God, so that the things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which are VISIBLE . . .6 But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE Him, for he who COMES to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of those who DILIGENTLY seek Him” Hebrews 11:1, 3, 6 NKJV.

FAITH is ACTING correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Indicating that BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION while FAITH is the DELIVERY of the conceived WORD. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the CURRENCY of exchange and transactions in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus, on which stead we stand in life and grace. That’s why, your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world, is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient. Philemon 1:6.  And the effective and efficient FAITH is based on and by the THE WORD OF GOD and nothing more or less. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5.

WHAT you then BELIEVE determines your functionality in the Kingdom. Which means you are a product of your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world. Do you BELIEVE in a mere men, religion and the religious – dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy and rudiments – and tradition of this world more to God’s WORD? Would you rather BELIEVE in God’s authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated WORD than to a mere man in this world? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN BY YOUR BELIEVE. Hence blame no one and take responsibility and accountability for what you’ve BECOME all these while – your BELIEVE have defined either your FAITH – and otherwise FATE.

I hereby appeal to you, to look inwards and DARE to BELIEVE now and again in the WORD with unhinged FAITH in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, in order to BECOME of Him.

Jesus said in Matthew 9:27-30 to two men seeking His help, what do you BELIEVE? Simplified as – Do you BELIEVE that I can do your request? By their answer of – Yes, Lord! meaning I BELIEVE, He replied to them that they should BECOME What they BELIEVE. What they BELIEVE is found in WHOM (on the WORD of the Lord) they BELIEVE. They RECEIVED their healings as they ACT on their BELIEVE on WHOM (the WORD of the Lord) they BELIEVE.

FAITH on the BELIEVE WORD, is the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE and RECEIVE the heavenly outpour – and it’s expedient that you check your BELIEVE before you take any step in the Kingdom if you wants the heavens to be with you in it (Hebrews 11:1-3, 6, Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 14:23; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN – FOR ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE – AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD UNTO US THAT BELIEVE. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30 (Emphasis Mine).

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them Gave HE POWER TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12.

“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.

“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 26:1-14.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT  WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

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

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provides to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self-discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to  SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path of God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“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.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED him NOT as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became VAIN in their imaginations, and their FOOLISH heart was darkened . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT  . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18-32.

HAVING A GOOD NEWS IS GOOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVING A GOOD NEWS IS GOOD – AND WITH WAGONS IS BETTER AND BEST: IT REVIVES THE FAINTING HEARTS – IT ENHANCES THE KINGDOM LIFE AND IT’S CAUSES!

“A HAPPY heart is good MEDICINE and a JOYFUL mind causes HEALING, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.” Proverbs 17:22 Amplified.

It is good to have a job and or business but better if the accompanying wages or returns can keep your spirit being – the temple of the Holy Spirit – alive to meet your day-to-day living matters without further worries.

Being BLESSED – that is, being empowered to succeed in God’s POWER and GRACE –  is the ability to have beyond enough and to reach to somebody else – For prosperity that withholds is poverty in disguise. Until you can have and give without complain and murmuring, you are still poverty-stricken in disguise.

There was prosperity in the first civilised world – Egypt – while others were poor and hunger struck. Jacob the patriarch was fainting and fading off with time and in dire need, in the poverty and austerity stricken world of his time. And when he was told that Joseph, the Premier of Egypt, his son was alive, he felt good but in doubt, due to the time lapses and evidence given in forensics of his death by his other children years before; but when he SAW the WAGONS – a trail of camels with loads of goods accompanied with cash (money), I can hear ooh goodness, his DYING and FAINTING spirit was MADE alive, that is, REVIVED instantly. The power of WAGONS is and are indisputable in such a dire need time.

“. . . 25 AND THEY WENT UP OUT OF EGYPT, AND CAME INTO THE LAND OF CANAAN unto Jacob their father, 26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and he is GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt. AND JACOB’S HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT. 27 And they TOLD HIM ALL THE WORDS of Joseph, which he had said unto them: AND WHEN HE SAW THE WAGONS which Joseph had sent to carry him, THE SPIRIT OF JACOB THEIR FATHER REVIVED: 28 and Israel said, IT IS ENOUGH; Joseph my son is yet alive: I will go and see him before I die” Genesis 45:1-28.

I pray for you today, that every good news that comes to you will be accompanied with LOADS of WAGONS. Wagons are good, for it thus comes with other goods that meet needs; wagons makes all the difference in one’s life;  you may not appreciate or understand it until it happens to you. To have your debt or dire needs paid and with extra relief to do and live life in such a way to never be in debt again and dire need, is far better than just having your debt only paid and still be in need. There’s a miracle for you today, receive it and be blessed in Jesus’ name, Amen.

I pray that the Lord God El-Shaddai – the all-sufficient Father, meets you today at the point of your need and turns your fainting heart into overflowing joy, reviving your dying spirit that you might live again and worry no more in all that pertains to life and living godly.

GOD’S BLESSEDNESS REVIVES FAINTING HEARTS – THE POWER OF WAGONS IS AND ARE INDISPUTABLE – YOU CAN BANK ON GOD’S PROVISIONS AT CHALLENGING TIMES.

Every grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS!

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG IN ORDER TO BECOME

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG IN ORDER TO BECOME: FOR NO WORD – NO FAITH, IF YOU MUST FUNCTION TO BECOME!

It’s time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE – as you BELONG in the faith, in order for you to BECOME by God’s WORD, in EVERYWAY, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD and to His work in His Church, and yet want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and BECOME in everyway in LIFE and GODLINESS. Most reasons are simply for their FEAR PHOBIA that they may lose out if they do make such acts to be dedicated and committed. And unfortunately, their been sceptical had not made them better in spite of their despise to God’s WORD and His Church – (1 John 5:3-5).

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD – (Romans 10:17). Faith in Christ Jesus, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a doctrinal nor denominational creed and religious dogma that is just there to be known.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus’ life access and justified essence in grace with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe in God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God – (Hebrews 11:6).

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church with a daring spirit and not fear phobia, in LIFE and GODLINESS. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

By Leave a Comment

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED, SPIRITED-HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina

“But GROW [spiritually MATURE] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18 Amplified.

You are either RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED to MATURITY – and it’s this contrary, that makes the difference in life for so many. A MATURED spirited HEARTED person is the consequence of being RAISED in GROWTH. It’s a cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION – Otherwise, pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like limitation traces shows up, because they wasn’t any cultivation – of being RAISED in unto MATURITY in GROWTH. Hence you can see a grown adult by age and size, still lacking the ADULTHOOD principle of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will reveal and bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY. You see these effect manifesting in places of opportunities: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conducts test, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GREW, He submitted Himself to be RAISED through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Luke 2:44-52. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be RAISED in order to GROW and MATURED for the CALLED PURPOSE; and being MADE and ready to be, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW without being RAISED along to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character, were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some, who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised, and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish behaviour no matter their attainments in life.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? or did you just GREW to Become and or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE and WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME. It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLED enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

IS WORTH BEING RAISED IN GROWTH TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

BE BLESSED.

“Let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a SERVANT, and was MADE in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a name which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:41-52.

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE: IT GIVES THE NEEDED ALTITUDE TO OUTSMART YOUR TEACHERS AND TEXTBOOKS [ANCIENTS]!

“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.

Having an UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE wherein you stand in Christ Jesus – is the needed leverage to be – ABOVE ONLY. It gives you the needed ALTITUDE to outsmart your TEACHERS and TEXTBOOKS in your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“O how LOVE I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

I don’t know who has been your TEACHER, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of those bulk of work to that greatness, are on the child/children shoulder in order for them to BECOME what they are PURPORTED to be in many ways too.

I remembered while getting set for my secondary, my dear father and Dad and Papa of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me an instruction to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he called me. I did answered him, then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him again accordingly. He said that as I leave to the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better of than he is and those [patriarchal] before him. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED I heard him in every decision I put up to action in the course of that teenage path of life.

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the light of dawn, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18/AMP.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus into my life then, the only thing I know and could hear within me, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbook or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus and prospectus, just to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not just necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad’s intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And looking back and taking a reflection, down memory lane, it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God for giving him to be my father, Dad and Papa and also as my personal instructors in many ways – and he’s forever in hearts and thoughts.

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while he’s away for staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accordance by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel one day and stole away my gifted Bible from my dear Uncle Austin [Rev A U MORMAH], as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using the same teaching syllabus and prospectus materials as others and as requested by the School then. Neither the Teacher nor the students knew then that I have read Psalms 119:97-100 in my Bible, of what I can be if I give in to a principled living as the path to channel my life by God’s WORD.

And along with Psalmist Scripture that was an instructional awakening for me to be effectual  – productive and results oriented, I do embraced also in principle, and by KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, the essence of DILIGENCE and PREPAREDNESS ahead of demand in context, of the scriptures of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31 for an onward and upward trajectory in life and grace. And ever since I knew then that by the SCRIPTURES in context, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT [written records set before time by others in books and other life format], I could take on any subjects of interest that I willingly set myself up to pursue in the grace. And to simply put it, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the quest of humanity, that’s why you like me by God, in His grace, in His word, by the Holy Spirit, can be whatever you want to be in Him. And for me, the rest today is history to God’s eternal glory and praise and honour. Amen.

I have share the above fortaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to the WORD as the WISDOM NUGGETS in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in this world under God in Christ Jesus stead.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the SCRIPTURES on that subjects of life – Trade, Family, Marriage, Relationship, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such like – for you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness and joy and not someone else except you give them the permission to rule and dominate over your will power in the grace. [Proverbs 4:7]. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you in order to make it TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, COMPREHENSIBLE and DELIVERABLE as desired in the LIGHT of the Scriptures. God’s WORD works today and and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before as you choose to ensure it in principle in the grace wherein we stand by God in Christ Jesus. Amen. [Romans 5:1-2].

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS: IT’S THE ONLY UNIFYING BOND OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES [GREEKS] – IN REDEMPTION!

“Give NONE offence, NEITHER to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD” 1 Corinthians 10:32.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

The scriptures of the New Testament are grossly fielded with matters of the JEWS and GENTILES – which sometimes the context of the GENTILE in reference is applicable to the GREEKS indicating they are same.

People in the New Testament CONTEXT are classified into TWO and the THIRD groups of people. The FIRST group are THE JEWS, who are the custodian of THE LAW under Moses and depicted as the NATURAL OFFSPRING of Abraham, while the SECOND group are THE GENTILES, often depict as the GREEK, which together are summed to represent all people (called unbelievers) irrespective, who are not the Jews and having no law of God as the natural Jews, thereby are seen to reason in their ways outside the law or commandments of God as given through Moses with the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham [Ephesians 2:1-22; Philippians 3:1-16; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Romans 2:17-29].

Most times in the scriptural context, the natural JEWS are classed as those of the CIRCUMCISION, while the GENTILES [GREEKS] are classed as the UNCIRCUMCISION. When either of The Jews – the CIRCUMCISION and The Gentiles [Greeks] – UNCIRCUMCISION gets BORN AGAIN [BORN OF GOD] into Christ Jesus, they form the basis for the THIRD groups called – THE CHURCH OF GOD. It thus means that the Jews and Gentiles are UNIFIED and BONDED only in Christ Jesus – in the REDEMPTION – the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus stead, for all mankind irrespective. Hence, the once term Gentile and Jew are UNIFIED and BONDED by REDEMPTION and have now become together – the spiritual Jews [these are New Creation – having the law of God written in their hearts and with the written word available to them], which CIRCUMCISION is of the HEART and not of the FLESH as written:

“For the name of God is blasphemed among the GENTILES through you, as it is written. 25 For CIRCUMCISION verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy CIRCUMCISION is made UNCIRCUMCISION. 26 Therefore if the UNCIRCUMCISION keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his UNCIRCUMCISION be counted for CIRCUMCISION? 27 And shall not UNCIRCUMCISION which is BY NATURE, if it FULFIL THE LAW, judge thee, who by the letter and CIRCUMCISION dost transgress the law? 28 For he is Not A Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: 29 but he is a JEW, which is one INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:24-29.

It’s on the basis of the REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, that formulated the principle that makes up of the “JEWS” and the “Gentiles” to become ascribed as “THE CHURCH OF GOD”. This gives both the basis to sing a common new sung instead of their respective old sung of difference that gives no wholesome stands and access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The song that binds together the redeemed from every kindred, tongue, people and nation as it’s written:

“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.

Today, the redeemed – born of God Jews and Gentiles that have been bonded to become the Church of God, can now together, without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy), have a STAND by GRACE to ACCESS by FAITH and ENJOY their REDEMPTION RIGHTS and Privileges, in Christ Jesus. For “THE CHURCH OF GOD” that consist of both the REDEEMED Jews and Gentiles – is God’s physical enabling on earth that guarantees the ensuring of the rights and privileges into His BLESSEDNESS to ‘POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION’ in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

The CHURCH OF GOD, which is the CITY of God, the EMBASSY of God, the TEMPLE of God, the HOUSEHOLD of FAITH, the BODY of Christ, the AMBASSADOR of Christ and the MOUNT ZION and such like – is you, the redeemed (born of God) Jews and Gentiles. And knowingly and unknowingly, your being by redemption, is having the DNA of God in Christ Jesus to POSSESS God’s BLESSEDNESS, and in POSSESSING your Possessions as inheritance, in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. For there’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION both THE JEWS and THE GENTILES – THE CHURCH OF GOD.

In Possessing your Kingdom PRIVILEGED and RIGHTFUL possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start, is to get along WITH – THE CHURCH OF GOD – the ASSEMBLY or INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH OF GOD in a physical assembly – so goes YOU and THE NATION at large, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons. For in any ingathering the Holy Writ thus indicates the heavenly are equally present as it’s written:

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that SPEAKETH better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING to ENSURE God’s BLESSEDNESS, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the local assembly Church of the Body of Christ Jesus, in order to BECOME a part to FUNCTION effectually and efficiently. There’s no room for a lone person outside the body that’s perfectly meant to be joined together – Ephesians 4:7-16. The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God – the Church of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly – by coming together, for the ingathering. The principal order of grace enables one and all, to access and receive these but not limited:

* DELIVERANCE from all sorts (you name it).

* HOLINESS – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that has intentionally BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in God’s REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, we can now be emboldened to say, declare, announce, proclaim that our DOMINION IN REDEMPTION is beyond walls – and it’s the UNIFYING BOND of the JEWS and the GENTILES (GREEKS) in becoming –

THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS, NOR TO THE GENTILES, NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:30-33.

“For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6 For IN Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH which worketh by love . . . 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach CIRCUMCISION, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the OFFENCE of the cross ceased” Galatians 5:5-6, 11.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth . . . 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 10:4-6, 11-13.

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.

“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.

“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 . . .13 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 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with WISDOM of WORDS, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that PERISH FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which ARE SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 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: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord”  1 Corinthians 1:17-24, 30-31.

“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.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also glorified” Romans 8:29-30.

“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 (Emphasis Mine).

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“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.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).
