BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God RESISTS THE PROUD, But GIVES GRACE to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6.

“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 DRAW NIGH to God, and he will DRAW NIGH to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:7-10.

“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.

“. . . 21 For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH righteously . . .” 1Peter 2:1-25.

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 Emphasis Mine.

“The FEAR of the Lord is the INSTRUCTION of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:33.

“Before DESTRUCTION the HEART of man is HAUGHTY, and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 18:12.

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS, BOTH HEARING THEM, AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and ANSWERS. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? 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.

AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

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

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 remember while getting set for my secondary, my Dad 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. Then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him 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. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED I heard him.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus then, the only thing I could hear within, 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 to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad 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 it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while away for staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accord by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel and stole away my gifted Bible by my Uncle Austin, 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 same teaching syllabus materials as others. They NEVER knew that I have read in my Bible – Psalms 119:97-100 of what I can be if I give in to channel my life by God’s WORD. The Psalmist Scripture is the consequence of my KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31. And ever since, I knew that by the SCRIPTURES, 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) if I will in my subject of interest. Simply because, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the QUEST of humanity. The rest today is history to God’s eternal glory. 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 UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to it as the WISDOM NUGGETS in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the Scriptues on that Trade, Family, Marriage, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such likes. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you in order to make it TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE and COMPREHENSIBLE as desired in the LIGHT of the SCRIPTUES. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“The beginning of WISDOM is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your ACQUIRING, get UNDERSTANDING [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation]” Proverbs 4:7 AMPLIFIED.

“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.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS; he shall not STAND before MEAN MEN” Proverbs 22:29.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION IS BEYOND WALLS

By Leave a Comment

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION IS BEYOND WALLS: REDEMPTION – THE UNIFYING BOND OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES (GREEKS) IN BECOMING – THE CHURCH OF GOD!

“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. The first are THE JEWS, who are the custodian of the law under Moses and depicted as the natural offspring of Abraham, while the second is THE GENTILES, often depict as the GREEK, which together are summed to represent all people (unbelievers) irrespective, who are not 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 are classed as the UNCIRCUMCISION. When either of the Jews – the CIRCUMCISION and the Gentiles – UNCIRCUMCISION gets born again into Christ Jesus, they form the basis for the third called – The Church of God. It thus means that the Jews and Gentiles are UNIFIED and BONDED 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, 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.

And the redemption from and of the “JEWS” and the “Gentiles” to become ascribed as “THE CHURCH OF GOD” gives both to sing a common new sung instead 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).

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fullness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in every way of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER AND GRACE”

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER AND GRACE” – TO FUNCTION AND BECOME: THROUGH THE “KNOWLEDGE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as TOUCHED were MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE” Matthew 14:34-36.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

Lots of Believer’s supposedly in the Faith of Christ Jesus stead, are living outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD; many are MORE captivated and influenced by the religious  and denominational rites and doctrinal ordinances as they strictly adhere and follow without check and balance – which is through the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus stead. For the Scriptures makes it very clear that not ALL HAVE FAITH in the FAITH in Christ Jesus – meaning not all have their spirit being built upon the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus, which principle CONTEXT is of the WORD of God that builds and establishes the FAITH in all that comes to God in Christ Jesus. Amen – 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (1-4); Romans 10:17; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:8-12; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

I want you to know full well, that it’s the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH that one possess within, that sets one FREE – SAVES, DELIVERS and LIBERATES – from all forms of limitations and restrictions and bondages outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD. John 8:32; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Acts 4:12.

And through KNOWLEDGE you communicate the WORD OF FAITH to matters.  it’s only by communicating the WORD OF FAITH to MATTERS of doing life and living godly through the KNOWLEDGE of the GOOD did, that’s DONE and DEED in Christ Jesus, that brings genuine liberty and freedom, that all seeks to attain and possess,  in order to be fulfilled in God, in Christ Jesus stead – Philemon 1:4-6; Romans 10:8-13, 17.

“Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I PROFIT you, except I shall SPEAK to you either by REVELATION, or by KNOWLEDGE, or by PROPHESYING, or by DOCTRINE? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be KNOWN what is piped or harped?” 1 Corinthians 14:6-7.

Many are in captivity and in various self-afflicted bondage for their lack of PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE which indeed is dangerous, jeopardous and worrisome each time I recall – how many SUFFERED in the Bible days as written:

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thought shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honorable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

Besides, the indicative of the above mentioned scriptures, many also, are working and walking in ERRORS and are been MISTAKEN for lack of KNOWLEDGE as it affects the path of doing life and living godly as the religious SADDUCEES where, in the days of Christ Jesus humanity, as it’s written.

“The same day came to Him (Jesus Christ) the SADDUCEES, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (IN ERROR AND MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I plead with you today to get engrossed with doing life and godly living THROUGH KNOWLEDGE for these but not limited reasons:

** DELIVERANCE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“. . . but THROUGH KNOWLEDGE shall the just be DELIVERED” Proverbs 11:9.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

** GRACE AND PEACE, DIVINE POWER AND DIVINE NATURE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

** TO ESCAPE POLLUTION OF THE WORLD – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“For if after they have ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS of the world THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” 2 Peter 2:20.

** WISDOM AND REVELATION – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“. . .16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM: 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

** OVERCOME BARRENNESS AND UNFRUITFULNESS – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:8.

** RENEW, REFRESH, REJUVENATE – IN THE KNOWLEDGE

“And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him” Colossians 3:10.

I will like you to take an assignment for yourself by making out time toward searching the scriptures to find out, mark and highlights every SCRIPTURAL places that indicates – THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, BY KNOWLEDGE, IN KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH LIKE. You will discover lots of what you’ve become in God, in Christ Jesus stead. It will bring forth a transformation and translation that will revitalize you beyond words because of the insights and foresight trajectory of the revelation you will receive of God. Give you go from today.

Be Blessed with God’s enabling POWER to FUNCTION and His GRACE to BECOME accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Ephesians 4:8-16).

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing” Philippians 3:7-16.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the Congregation of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER A PURPOSEFUL DEMAND – WITH POWER AND GRACE TO FUNCTION AND BECOME – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE -ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channeled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavor to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when Intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you – in life and godliness.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Living in the fullness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfill His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“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.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE.

Hence all glory, honor and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious acts; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

“Each time He said, “MY GRACE is all you need. MY POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can WORK through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“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.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his PURPOSE. 29 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 8:28-30.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will” Ephesians 1:3-7, 11.

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

** How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

** How am you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by own intents and ability.

All these above and many other quest that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you –  in life and godliness.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Living in the fulness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfil His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“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.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE. Hence all glory, honour and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious acts; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).
