About Becoming Whom & What You Believe

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE: YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

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

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING]: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

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. 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 – our Saviour and Lord. Amen. That’s why your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient through acknowledging everything God has done in you in redemption in Christ Jesus.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT – PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN [BY REDEMPTION] Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 WHO is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

You need to know full well that – it’s WHAT you then BELIEVE that determines your functionality in the Kingdom, and in your ability to OVERCOME the challenges of your worlds of doing life and living godly. It thus means, you ARE a PRODUCT of your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world. And if I may ask you today and right now – What do you BELIEVE (ADHERED TO, ACKNOWLEDGED) more? Do you BELIEVE in a mere – men, religion, religiosity and religious acts of ordinance – dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy and rudiments and tradition of this world more than to God’s scriptural and eternal WORD? Would you rather BELIEVE in God’s authoritative, prevailing, undiluted and unadulterated WORD than to a mere men in this world? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN BY YOUR BELIEVE UNTIL NOW. you BECOME save because you BELIEVE. And you RECEIVE ANSWERS to PRAYERS as a results of your BELIEVE. BELIEVE and be SAVE.

“Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them” Mark 11:24/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:25-34.

Henceforth, you need not to go about blaming anyone of your state of being, but to rather now take resolved to see that it’s your responsibility and accountability on what you BECOME in the FAITH; for your state of being, it’s on what you’ve BELIEVED and yet BELIEVE until now. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage in Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again in order to BECOME your reality in God’s WORD that saves – otherwise you will be living in the sphere of fake, falsehoods, adulteration and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime.

FOR WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT IN FAITH BY ACTING IN FATE

Jesus said in Matthew 9:27-30 to two men seeking His help, what do you BELIEVE? By their answer, He replied, they should BECOME What they BELIEVE. What they BELIEVE is found in WHOM they BELIEVE. And that triggered and activated their FAITH, as they saw an opportunity to act upon that believed they had nursed. They RECEIVED their healings as they ACT on their BELIEVE. They BECOME not only on WHAT they BELIEVED of God to receive but on also on WHOM they BELIEVE to resolve their circumstances.

“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.

It is the scriptural FAITH born out of your BELIEVE to BECOME, it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE and RECEIVE the heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before you take any step you consider to be of  FAITH in the Kingdom, that’s if you wants the heavens to be with you in your EARTHLY affairs.

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him”   Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

I plead you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING – for all things are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE – as all things are POSSIBLE always with god in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.      

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 Jesus looked at them and said, “With people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27] AMP.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

AFD APRIL 2024 EDITION

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2024: MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS ENTITLED – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

The Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year of the Gregorian and Julian calendar. It’s the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month April is associated with springtime indicating – BLESSEDNESS, NEW BEGINNINGS, and a time to BLOSSOM, REFRESH and REJUVENATE, REKINDLE and MORE.

And as the Month April theme thus indicated the BLESSEDNESS of God, there’s the path to access and to have an entrance to the blessedness – which of cause, is a matter of BELIEVING – BECOMING A BELIEVING ONE, hence as a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, it’s entitled – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE” even as Jesus put forth before the one in need of God’s BLESSEDNESS from Him. For it’s not by going to Church gathering services, being indoctrinated to a denominational creeds, bylaws, traditions and dogmas that ends up making the word of God of no effect – but it’s about our BELIEVE/BELIEVING, and in this case – SCRIPTURALLY, and it’s irrespective, and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. For when you WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] BELIEVE, you will also be WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] ACTING in the name of FAITH and be held down there by the bondage of religion and religiosity at your own detriments.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have DELIVERED: and MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE” Mark 7:12-13.

Most times, it’s not a matter of having faith or exercising FAITH but it’s a matter of – IF YOU ACTUALLY and GENUINELY BELIEVE on that which you ARE earnestly desiring of God and upon what SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT do you BELIEVE, to enable you to ACT upon by FAITH – wherein you can then please God and make Him cause His WORD to tangibly make out your reality in Him.

“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.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

Often of the time, Jesus Christ will ask those looking up to Him for answers to their life questions in all respect – [Health, sickness, family, relationship, peace, security, prosperity, career, business, marriage, etc]; He wants to ensure for their own assurance, in order for them not to be confused and deceived by others afterwards of their BLESSEDNESS, hence sometimes He ensured by asking them – IF THEY DO BELIEVE TO OWN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HE CAN DO – especially on the request they are asking of Him; and this is to necessitate that they are not necessarily wanting an answer because of their desperation for an immediate solution; then disappear and appear again when there’s another life challenges without a steadfast believing stand in the faith. For many just wants solution to their life problems and hurdles and not necessarily because they BELIEVE in the services of God in scriptural context. For many WALKED AWAY from Christ Jesus in His humanity ministerial cause for human redemption, especially when matters of their BELIEVING of Him was challenged by the necessary scriptural context He put out before them. [Kindly read in full – John 6:1-71].

“. . . 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye SEEK me, not because ye SAW [BELIEVE] the miracles, but because ye did EAT of the loaves, and were FILLED . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent . . . 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life . . . 64 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him . . . 66 From that time MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:1-71. [Read it all in full]

For without believe or believing, it’s impossible to actualise the enabling faith upon the grace of God that brings about answers to human questions not only for the moment of needs but for the sustainability upon the scriptures. They’re many today who DO NOT BELIEVE in the genuity of Christ Jesus to have come in the flesh and even the fulness of our redemption by God in Christ Jesus. Hence, we are informed by the Scripture to mark and note this set of sectarian people, and to earnestly contend to stay secured on the FAITH we stand upon, against their UNBELIEF [UNBELIEVE, UNBELIEVING] sectarianism, which repercussions results from their WRONG [UNSCRIPTURAL] BELIEVE and BELIEVING foundation. [1 John 4:1-3; Jude 1:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

For to BELIEVE is PASSIVE and to have FAITH is ACTIVE. Believe is like the default that ought to be there before the activation of faith for results to manifest or reveal tangibly. For FAITH is acting upon what you BELIEVE of God accordingly, to the scriptural context in used. For BLESSED is the one that BELIEVE first, then go to act upon as an act of FAITH, upon that scriptural context of believe – therein God will certainly do His will in His WORD – meaning, God will then perform His promise to them that BELIEVES on His possibility promise.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27 [Matthew 19:26].

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:37, 45.

So, that question or matters of life that you are bothered about and want an answer from God in Christ Jesus, do you actually BELIEVE that God can sorts it out for you without you with you having other plan B’s and second consideration thoughts and alternatives –  knowing that God searches the reins, hearts and thoughts of man [Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27], can you take a believing stand to the end, especially if it’s a matter that requires faith and patience to make it a reality? Can you be patience to wait, and will you wait through patience untill God’s promise comes to your reality for you?

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you DO SHEW THE SAME DILIGENCE TO THE FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE UNTO THE END: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL [SLUGGISH, SLUGGARD], but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12.

POSSIBILITY and IMPOSSIBILITY is possible with God if you can BELIEVE. God knows how to make all things [good and bad, possible and impossible] to become possible – come to fruition in fulfilling His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for you both in the now and tomorrow.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP.

Just know that to BELIEVE is personal, and it’s firstly to – ACKNOWLEDGED, OWNED, be CONVINCED and such like, thereby ensuring the enabling and needed scriptural context of FAITH to become activated for the reality and realisation of one’s desires in essence. And it’s in this context of acknowledging, owning and being personally convinced, that God is able to act, and to make all things both possible and impossible, to be all possible accordingly. [Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23-24].

And you must also come to realise, that, to BELIEVE ON Him and to BELIEVE IN Him are not the same but are both important in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that in this Month of BLESSEDNESS, you can believe God in Christ Jesus to be BLESSED accordingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER: THE RISEN POWER ENABLES YOU TO CREATE YOUR DESIRED WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – AMEN!

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him.

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday comes and be gone, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUM was to end these three basics human failures in God at Adam of Eden – which is the consequence [effect] of SIN – the Sinful NATURE:

“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 5:21.

** Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

** Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

** Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

These aforementioned are the effect, result and consequences of human depraved state resulting from SIN – the SINFUL NATURE; and the SINFUL NATURE is due to the fall in Eden resulting the placement of Adamic curses – CURSED OF THE FALL [Genesis 3:1-24] which leads to the CURSED OF THE LAW [Deuteronomy 28:15-68]. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of SPIRITUAL DEATH brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE).

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in everyway of DOING LIFE [Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14].

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –

** that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10].

** You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3].

** There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20].

** There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10].

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rosed from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualize it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you.

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations [Romans 5:12-21]. May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2.

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 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 1:11-12.

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!

“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 (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

You need to build your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable  you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

“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.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.

Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of tREhings not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

By Leave a Comment

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE A – WITNESS – LEADER – AND COMMANDER – AN OVERCOMER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have GIVEN him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – Individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently? Do you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus stead, do UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR?  And what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER – meaning to be in charge – than blaming others for your limitations?

“And of the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. There’s the need to know that the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are going through may ends badly as a Believer in Christ Jesus; especially when you know it’s obvious it contradicts the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that can sets one free, and being able to know the needs to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations, the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; JUDGE [EXAMINE] ye what I SAY” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“Prove all things; HOLD FAST that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus mean that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Sometimes you need to run away and in some cases to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in your life.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES IN THIS PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God says he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR

By Leave a Comment

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR: YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE YOUR POSSIBILITY FAITH TO MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy faith may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

The New Creation life is expressed by our steady act of the CONFESSION of our Faith in God, in Christ Jesus. The act of CONFESSION is the COMMUNICATION of your faith in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS irrespective of your circumstances. Suffix to know that the NEW CREATION Believers’ was and are called or regarded as the GREAT PROFESSION or GREAT CONFESSION or GREAT TESTIMONY TESTIFIERS –  people, whose FAITH are in Christ Jesus.

This act of FAITH CONFESSION is only productive, result oriented, that is effectual, when we are able to COMMUNICATE our FAITH by the ACKNOWLEDGING of the GOOD DID of God by Christ Jesus in us. It’s not about the CONFESSION of SIN as unto BEING BORN AGAIN in Christ Jesus; but about the AFFIRMATION of our FAITH now as NEW CREATION in the good of God in Christ Jesus to all about us in Him, to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS. This is what keeps us as RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers’ rather than SIN CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers’ in Christ Jesus toward God.

There’s the need to be readily steady in holding steadfastly your FAITH CONFESSION (DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION) toward that particular needs in your life by you continuous holding forth in God on the good in you as to what Christ Jesus had DONE IN you, DOING FOR you, WILL DO THROUGH you as regards to that particular or intended matter. That’s Faith in the done deed, doing deed and eventual deed of God in Christ Jesus. That’s how the victory, overcoming, triumph and more than conquerors life are enacted and authenticated to life in reality.

FAITH IS ACTIVE. BELIEVE IS PASSIVE. FAITH is acting accordingly on what you BELIEVE of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, it’s NOT ENOUGH to BELIEVE God for something, you MUST act ACCORDINGLY to that believe on what Christ Jesus stead is to that matter, in order to make it happen tangibly in real life. And to act is to communicate along gracious to that intent as Jesus’ deed too in humanity.

“So all bore WITNESS to Him, and marveled at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 NKJV.

Hence between when you pray to ASK God for something and when the ANSWER comes, what you communicate in between, that is, CONFESS about that matter you prayed to God to act upon, must be of the FAITH in acknowledgement of the good did of Christ in you, otherwise your expectations will be aborted before arrival.

Genuine HEART BELIEVE and FAITH CONFESS makes you SEE ANSWERS on your cause and course and not to SEE or be seeing same QUESTIONS – which is the FAILED or FAILING CIRCUMSTANCES and SITUATIONS that was and is about you on the subject matter in question.

You need to vigorously develop the spirit in you to COMMUNICATE your FAITH which is born and bathed in and by the WORD by the blessed Holy Spirit, to keep you steadily steadfast in effectual living in LIFE and GODLINESS.

Therefore I say, Go forth and win your day by an aggressive steady COMMUNICATION, which is the CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION, ANNOUNCEMENT – of your FAITH towards that matter of LIFE and GODLINESS, as you BELIEVE of God, for therein ALL THINGS ARE MADE POSSIBLE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH MEDITATING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23 (Emphasis Mine).

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Thou art SNARED with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.

“By him therefore let us OFFER THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE to God CONTINUALLY, that is, THE FRUIT OF OUR LIPS giving thanks to his name” Hebrews 13:15.

“To THE LAW and to THE TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:20.

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD OF GOD” Romans 10:17.

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS’ IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!

“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).

The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive  in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the churches which you are a member, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him must WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24

In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH, so goes you and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. 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. The order not grace there will EXPERIENCE includes but not limited are:

* 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 youself 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 BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in His REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written:

“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).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).

“Our fathers WORSHIPPED in this MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, BELIEVE me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in this MOUNTAIN, NOR yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father Seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:20-24.

PREVAILING BY THE PREVAILING WORD: YOUR POSSIBILITIES STARTS NOW – NO MATTER HOW SMALL!

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER END should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7.

Your attitude will lead you to your altitude. You can’t live a life of procrastination and wants to prevail with a breakthrough possibilities by the WORD. You can’t PREVAIL by the WORD when you are not ready, prepared and determined to do something now by the WORD. The Word of God is in the now project just as FAITH is in the now to bring about results. It’s not what you reference, it’s what you live in the now that defines you. While you plan for tomorrow as wisdom demands, you must intentionally and unreservedly and consciously live in the now and not tomorrow to ascertain possibilities.

In the same scenario, you don’t have to postponed to start your intent by the WORD. Probably your intent is to write that book –  why starts tomorrow instead of now; or is to start that business, career or whatsoever – why starts by tomorrow instead of now; or is to kick start that needful training or skills or educational program that will enhance your opportunity – why starts by tomorrow instead of now; and why wait to take the necessary steps tomorrow instead of now with the little available to get you to greater heights; why wait until you have a full bag of finance to start a new dawn endeavour; why can’t you start from where you are and grow up into whatever you have in mind to accomplish this year. Always tell yourself that POSSIBILITY is now. And PREVAILING by The PREVAILING WORD is now and not tomorrow.

 The scripture do indicate that though our beginning may be small, that our latter end will greatly increase if you give it the right attitude – the POSSIBILITIES ATTITUDE. And that’s attitude that prevails and it’s WORD based. And possibility for the BELIEVING one in Christ Jesus stead is by FAITH. And Faith does not operate outside the WORD of God. And you have to BELIEVE the WORD before you can POSSIBLY act upon it to make FAITH active.

So therefore, if you must make all things possible about the YEAR, begin from where you are now and grow into higher heights. An onward and upward trajectory is born in the hearts of those who chose to look beyond their present limitation by starting from where there are to that great place of BLOSSOMING with a THRIVING attitude not a SURVIVAL attitude. For with God they know all things are possible and to them also who believe on the ability and capacity of THE PREVAILING WORD to make it a reality.

I PRAY that God gives you wisdom and speed as you take an emboldened steps of possibility by acting on the prevailing WORD that prevails over all things in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

LIVING ASSUREDLY IN YEAR 2024

LIVING ASSUREDLY IN YEAR 2024 – THE HOW TO LIVE AND THRIVE: CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE!

“We HAVING the same spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

The signatures of those who were REDEEMED of the Lord God almighty from every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION of all kinds, was that they spoke and sang a NEW song to differentiate them from the UNREDEEMED sung they were singing prior to their REDEMPTION. Instead of songs of defeats and failures, they sang from their seated and sitted position of VICTORY and TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Ephesians 2:6]. They call to be WHO and WHOM and WHAT they have BECOME of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. What a New way to live in the FULLNESS of our justified status in God, in Christ Jesus.

 “And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art WORTHY to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, opened His MOUTH to proceed forth with GRACIOUS WORDS that marvelled the people of His time so that they began to question if this is not Joseph’s Son with an alternative to the norm [this was after His returns with power of the fasting and prayers and appearance into the synagogue to announce of His EARTHLY commission plan, purpose and pursuit of Father God for humanity]

“. . . 22 And all bare Him [Jesus] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22.

And Moses and Mariam made no mistakes to lead the children of Israel and the women to a GLORIOUSLY and TRIUMPHANTLY songs to declare of the VICTORY songs over Pharaoh [the ENEMY] and the chariot’s [COHORTS] in symbolism that would have them dead at the red sea of life challenges.

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will EXALT Him . . . 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21.

And in our REDEMPTION, we’ve been MADE TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus. And being TRIUMPHANT is the expression of the VICTORY we have of God over the ENEMY and COHORTS. For we’ve been made a more than CONQUEROR [Romans 8:37], an OVERCOMER [Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4-5] and victorious [1 Corinthians 15:57]. To enact and authenticate all these and such like, an expression of the glorious TRIUMPH is the answer on what we’ve become of God in the now in Christ Jesus in our redemption.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [EXHIBITING THEM AS CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:8-15/Amplified.

“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT EVERYWHERE the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.

The YEAR 2024 is graciously pregnant and is here now to give birth to all sorts as you permit to happen [Matthew 16:19 Amplified; Matthew 18:18 Amplified]. And only God alone in essence, knows the END from the BEGINNING of all about YEAR 2024 for you and I as we stayed on the onward and upward trajectory in REDEMPTION, in everyway of living and doing Life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, He had made all things available about you specifically by the Holy Spirit which He has given to us. Therefore get connected to the person of the Holy Spirit as it’s written:

“But as it is WRITTEN, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have ENTERED into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

“And hope MAKETH not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And if you BELIEVED in your set goals as God has always BELIEVED in His, you need to steadily do what Bible FAITH people did to cause their set goals [plan, purpose and pursuit] that they dearly BELIEVED-IN, to come to pass – meaning to reality, fruition and tangibility. Thus indicating to LIVE and THRIVE it’s about “CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE”. And as God did and spoke creation into being, you can by His indwelling gracious Spirit in you, CAUSE to come to be also your earnest desires, when you can POSSIBLY have a believe IN your spirit (heart) being by the WORD of God in your mouth until the earnest desire comes to fruition. That’s the HOW to do life and live godly by faith in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, in scriptural context and concept. [Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Proverbs 18:20-21. Romans 10:8-13].

Father Abraham did BELIEVED God and called to be, those things that ARE not into reality. The same scenario were done of Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist and Mary the Mother of Jesus and many others, untill their UNKNOWN became a REALITY. You can make your YEAR 2024 desired goals as in the plan, purpose and pursuit, to turn out to be good and real, as you begin today, even now, to CALL into being things that be not as though that ARE, as you BELIEVED even as written in the Holy Writ of Romans 4:16-17.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the DEAD, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE”

And if we BE and ARE as Abraham seed by Faith in all about our REDEMPTION, we need to EXERCISE the enabling grace and wisdom of God as He did to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our FAITH in Him, into reality and tangibility.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY which ARE of FAITH, the SAME ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then THEY which be of FAITH ARE blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham . . .” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

I wish you the fruitiness of Year 2024. And may God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For whosoever shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:8-13.

“Beware lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all PRINCIPALITY and POWER: 11 in whom also ye are CIRCUMCISED with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the CIRCUMCISION of Christ: 12 BURIED with him in baptism, wherein also ye ARE risen with him through the faith of the OPERATION of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being DEAD in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he QUICKENED together with him, having FORGIVEN you all trespasses; 14 BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was AGAINST us, which was CONTRARY to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING it to his cross; 15 and HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT” Colossians 2:8-15.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.
