YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD: ENOUGH OF THE UNNECESSARY WORRIES AND ANXIETIES OF ‘ESSESS!

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

If you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT this scriptural truth in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining, worries and anxieties. And to be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED to – Succeed, Achieve, Triumph, Become, Create, Earn, Have, Prosper, Innovate and to be Favoured and such like more. And THE BLESSING of God is SORROW FREE.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES rich, and he ADDS no SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

The BLESSING of God is not a CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE; but it’s the ENABLING, BESTOWED and EMPOWERING GRACE of God to create, earn and acquire these aforementioned (CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE), which most people today do fight and go crazy about no matter the cost and prize tag involved in having or getting them – (Luke 12:30-32/Matthew 6:31-34). And by these enabling, bestowed and empowering grace called – God’s BLESSING, you can create, earn and have the aforementioned in grace without such SWEAT, STRESS, DISTRESS, DEPRESSION and ALL ‘ESSESS because you KNOW and UNDERSTAND the HOW to appropriate and enact what it means to be BLESSED of God in REDEMPTION.

Your BLESSEDNESS is a DONE DEED in Christ. This makes you MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. Our BLESSEDNESS is first spiritual before it becomes tangible – that’s reality – physical. Your ability to appropriate and enact the BLESSEDNESS by FAITH from the realm of the spiritual, that is, in the heavenly placement wherein the BLESSEDNESS are located (Ephesians 1:3), and Christ is position and seated (Ephesians 1:20) and we are position and seated in Christ Jesus at the right hand of God the Father (Ephesians 2:6). Knowing and having this understanding justifies why we are enjoined to lay our TREASURES above, meaning, in the heavenly, where no thieves and such like can access (Matthew 6:19-21).

The New Creation BLESSEDNESS of the NEW TESTAMENT, is not condition and not in any conditionality as in the OLD TESTAMENT essence that’s built and synthesised with conditionalities of an “IF” before you can access the BLESSEDNESS of God – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Revelation 5:9-12; Deuteronomy 28:1-14. For Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION took care of the conditionalities of the old. So, let no man put you under subjection and subjective situation before your can earn your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead after you’ve born anew as New Creation.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them . . .”  Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

Therefore, APPROPRIATE and ENACT the scriptural TRUTH in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining,worries and anxieties and begin to enjoin your REDEMPTION provisions in Christ Jesus stead.

Have a BLESSED (an EMPOWERED) day. And be emboldened to say to somebody today – “YOU ARE BLESSED” – Meaning, Be EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

YOU ARE BLESSED – JUST APPROPRIATE AND ENACT IT IN GRACE TODAY.

MARITAL BLESSEDNESS – A CALL OF GOD TO INHERIT A BLESSING

By Leave a Comment

MARITAL BLESSEDNESS – A CALL OF GOD TO INHERIT A BLESSING: AND GOD BLESSED THEM!

“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 3:9.

I don’t know how you see marriage or your marriage – whether you see it as BLESSED and a BLESSING or CURSED or a CURSE or a MISTAKE; but I wants you to know that MARRIAGE is a marital BLESSEDNESS irrespective of the challenges and difficult times you have or may be going through right now in your relationship. MARRIAGE IN GOD’S DESIGN AND PERSPECTIVE IS BLESSED AND A BLESSING, AND NOT CURSED OR A CURSE AND NEITHER A MISTAKE.

Marriage in God’s eye is BLESSED and a BLESSING in His BLESSEDNESS, it is considered as a special CALL of God for all who choose to get involved into it by FAITH in Him, in order to INHERIT the marital BLESSING of His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For God BLESSED them – male and female – Adam and Eve, in His first marital BLESSEDNESS to set out His intent to all of mankind.

“So God created MAN in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE and FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:27-28

And if you want God to become a part of you in your marital journey, you must as a matter of principle, see marriage the way God’s sees it – a calling to INHERIT a BLESSING – that’s PURE and SIMPLE. It’s either you agreed to see it in God’s perception and perspective or stay in your own self-made and world-made or rather man-made delusion. For God created and made marriage, so His way and path it shall be for now and tomorrow.

And you have to live to by FAITH in order to blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in this marital BLESSEDNESS; and if you must be victorious and triumphant in every way of doing life and living godly, in order to ensure that God’s enabling grace it’s at work to enable you overcome the challenging and difficult times that comes along with marriage, you must set your default to faith in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. It’s by faith that you can ensure the practicality and activities to overcome the state of things in this present depraved world system.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

“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.

“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.

I want you to know full well, that God will always COMMEND what He COMMANDS. He won’t break His WORD that He has taken an OATH to authenticate on the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel. For He BLESSED them – male and female – that they might share in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

“Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the IMMUTABILITY OF HIS COUNSEL, CONFIRMED it by an OATH: 18 that by two IMMUTABLE things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil” Hebrews 6:17-19.

Your marriage is BLESSED – knowingly and unknowingly. And it’s not about you, but about Him, who had MADE MARRIAGE; and it’s by Him only also that it works, irrespective of any of your feelings and sentiments and prejudice about marriage and God, in all perspectives.

It’s my utmost wishes that you stay married and that your marriage being BLESSED may flourish, rejuvenate and blossom as in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2 MALE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM; AND BLESSED THEM, and CALLED THEIR NAME ADAM, in the day when they were created” Genesis 5:1-2.

“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:9-12.

“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.

“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 6:11-12.

YOU ARE CROWNED AND BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE CROWNED AND BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING: DON’T LIVE LESS IN CHRIST JESUS!

“You CROWN THE YEAR WITH YOUR GOODNESS, AND YOUR PATHS DRIP WITH ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13. NKJV

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3 NKJV.

To being BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is to be EMPOWERED by God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, THRIVE, BECOME and such like the MORE, in every venture and endeavour of doing life and living godly, ensuring FULFILMENT through a gracious PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

I want you to know full well, that in Christ Jesus, you are CROWNED AND BLESSED of God to be a BLESSING. And unlike the OLD TESTAMENT BLESSEDNESS that was woven UNDER an “IF” CONDITIONALITY as by the holy writ of Deuteronomy 28:1-15 and in other same like Scriptures of the OLD TESTAMENT, the NEW CREATION BLESSEDNESS of the NEW TESTAMENT in Christ Jesus, is not based on CONDITIONALITY “IF”, but on Christ Jesus stead IN US, as per Ephesians 1:3 and such like Scriptures of the epistles.

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

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and ALL THESE BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-15.

Herein are some of the reasons but not limited for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, as the NEW CREATION of the NEW TESTAMENT:

** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our redemption in Christ Jesus. Hence the New Creation Blessing is UNCONDITIONAL. Unlike the Old Testament wherein you are CONDITIONED to fulfill certain obligations to attain it or have it. Hence let no man ask you to pay some charges or fullfil some obligations before you can ascertain God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

** It’s the blessing that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy,  jealousy and anguish,  but always enriching, assuring and ensuring. So, there’s no reason to be afraid of God’s BLESSEDNESS. And nobody should then threaten you of God’s promises to you beside them. Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; 3 John 2.

** God’s BLESSING is not a FEELING, it is in the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – that’s the only way you can BE a BLESSING too. And it’s always INTENTIONAL choice plan to have us BLESSED in His BLESSEDNESS.

** God’s BLESSING is not a car, property, family, money, empire of business and more; but the ENABLING ENDOWMENTS of God that MAKES and ENABLES to become a reality, the things you need like – car, house, business, money, family health, and more; the BLESSED ENABLER makes the things you need to come into reality WITHOUT SWEAT, EFFORTLESS, GRACEFULLY and GRACIOUSLY. It is such to note so that you are not limited by the things you need or have but you are GOVERNED by the enabler. The BLESSED enabler, MAKES you ABOVE ONLY otherwise you will go down south or down hill, when the alternative is your enabler.

** And God’s BLESSING KEEPS you in His CHURCH or PRESENCE and enables one to go from strenght unto strenght. Meaning, God’s BLESSING doesn’t take you away from His presence or Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH for having some little tokens of money or car or property and more which they considered to be a blessing, which unfortunately for them are the results of the BLESSEDNESS and not the BLESSEDNESS.

** God’s BLESSING for us in His BLESSEDNESS does not fade, deteriorate or go valueless and worthless and in any such like degradation, hence it’s not treasured as Car, landed property, house, material and such like that wear out with time. So when you have any material items as Car, house and such like for example, it is the ENABLING ENDOWMENTS called the BLESSEDNESS of God that is the Blessing and not the car. God’s BLESSEDNESS upon you provides you the car as a tool to achieve purpose on earth. And because God’s BLESSEDNESS is in the HEAVENLY PLACES, meaning spiritual endowment, thieves, robbers and such like enemy and cohorts, can’t break-in because there are kept in the heavenly places where Christ Jesus is sitted, you and I are sitted at the safe and secured right hand of God. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Matthew 6:19-21.

 ** Do you know that you are BLESSED? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. I am Blessed – I know It. You are Blessed – I know It quite well too.

** And much more importantly, your marriage is BLESSED and not a CURSE. You can now stop this unfavourable notion of holding and looking at your spouse as agent of CURSE and to know give up the worry syndrome knowing that being BLESSED maritally by God, you cannot be externally curse to make you live in fear. Hence you need to stop all those notions that someone else is there cursing your marriage and such is more supreme than the BLESSEDNESS of God upon your marriage. Always know that you will become what you believe – either God’s BLESSEDNESS or Man-Made make belief or your make up dogma’s to suit sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 1 Peter 3:8-12.

Having now known some of the reasons above, therefore, go on in grace, speaking FORTH who you ARE as being BLESSED of God and not CURSE; and going forth in such might in Christ Jesus stead to do the needful in PRINCIPLE and DILIGENCE, as God begins to actualise and unveil into reality your BLESSEDNESS in Him in Christ Jesus.

THEREFORE, IN POSSIBILITIES WITH – THE TIMELESS GOD – KNOW FULL WELL THAT YOU ARE CROWN BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING – DON’T LIVE LESS IN CHRIST JESUS. AMEN.

“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.

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness. 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and ALL THESE BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God. 3 BLESSED shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field. 4 BLESSED shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep. 5 BLESSED shall be thy basket and thy store. 6 BLESSED shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out . . .15 But it shall come to pass, IF THOU WILT not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee” Deuteronomy 28:1-15.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 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 1:1-4.

“. . . 8 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. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

MARRIAGE – A COVENANT OF GRACE

MARRIAGE – A COVENANT OF GRACE: A CALL TO INHERIT A BLESSING!

“Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:22

Your MARRIAGE is BLESSED and not CURSE – when you see it from the EYES of the SCRIPTURES and not from the EYES of MAN-MADE TRADITION, SECTARIANISM and DENOMINATIONALISM and such like.

For marriage it’s a covenant of grace; and a call of God in Christ Jesus stead to inherit the BLESSING of God’s BLESSEDNESS – as heirs who shares in the common grace of life and godliness; and whose PRAYERS are and can be effectual without obstruction and unhindered by any means.

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to KNOWLEDGE, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS together of the grace of life; that your PRAYERS be not HINDERED . . . 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 3:7, 9.

God MADE marriage, as such, only by Him through His WORD it does work to the fulness in life and grace. In God, your marriage is good and blessed and not curse. Get your marriage CONNECTED and SYNCHRONIZED with God in Christ Jesus stead and not to religion sectarianism and denominationalism and such like. Begin now to see your marriage and marital relationship from the perspective of God in order to obtain and actualised your promised favour and to inherit your blessed BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“. . . 7 As being HEIRS together of the GRACE of LIFE; that your PRAYERS be not HINDERED. 8 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. 10 For he that will LOVE life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their prayers: but the FACE of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

“SUBMITTING yourselves one to another in the FEAR of God. 22 Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your OWN husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, LOVE your wives, even as Christ also LOVED the church, and GAVE himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING BLESSED – TO BE A BLESSING – IS PART OF OUR HIGHER CALLING!

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

To be BLESSED and living a BLESSED life in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, is to be EMPOWERED in God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, THRIVE, BECOME and such like; and more so, it’s to live MEANINGFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY in every venture and endeavour of life with FULFILMENT, through a gracious and graceful plan, purpose and pursuit in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES RICH, and he ADDS NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

Be assured for certainty, that is – knowingly and unknowingly – that you are – BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING, and it’s for the following but not limited REASONS in being BLESSED in the BLESSEDNESS of God are you in these contextual regards:

   ** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus.

   ** It’s THE BLESSING that’s always enriching, assuring and ensuring – that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy, jealousy, anguish and such like.

  ** The God’s BLESSING is not in a FEELING, it is in the PERCEIVING – that’s of the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – and that’s the only way you can BE a BLESSING too.

  ** The God’s BLESSING is not the car, property, money, empire of business and such like more; The God’s BLESSING is the ENABLING ENDOWMENTS of God that MAKES the things you need possible and to come into reality – effortlessly, gracefully and graciously. Such like needs may be as the car, house, business, money, health, and such like more.

  ** And the God’s BLESSING keeps one in His Church or Presence; and it enables one to go from strenght unto strenght. Meaning, God’s BLESSING doesn’t take you away from His presence or His Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH, just for having some little tokens of the money or and the car or and the property and such like the more, which they attached earnestly and think intently as BLESSING, which is rather unfortunate.

Therefore, I say as emboldened in Christ Jesus stead, that, I am BLESSED of God – and I know It; I know also that you are BLESSED of God, in Christ Jesus stead, and I hope you know it quite well too as I do now and always in consciousness.

Finally I ask and say – DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. Live and walk in wisdom to ENSURE this ASSURED enabling of God, in Christ Jesus stead becomes tangible and in reality, in your path of doing life and living godly. Amen..

“Brethren, I count not myself to have APPREHENDED: but this one thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are behind, and REACHING FORTH unto those things which are before, 14 I PRESS toward the mark for the PRIZE of the HIGH CALLING of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be PERFECT, BE THUS MINDED: and if in any thing ye be OTHERWISE MINDED, God shall REVEAL even this unto you” Philippians 3:13-15.

“. . . 5 BLESSED is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. . .” (Psalms 84).

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

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES RICH, and he ADDS NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“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 3:13-14, 26-29.

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, AND I WILL BLESS THEE, AND MAKE THY NAME GREAT; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED“ Genesis 12:1-3.

OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME: THE MASTER CHARGED UNTIL HE RETURNS!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“So he CALLED ten of his servants, and GAVE them ten minas [one apiece, each equal to about a hundred days’ wages] and SAID to them, ‘DO BUSINESS [WITH THIS] UNTIL I RETURN” Luke 19:13/Amplified.

“So he CALLED ten of his servants, DELIVERED to them ten minas, and SAID to them, ‘DO BUSINESS TILL I COME” Luke 19:13/NKJV.

To OCCUPY TILL I COME indicates a command, charged, mandate, assignment and commission to be carried out. And it must be noted that the command, charge, assignment and commission of God in Christ Jesus to every Believer’s is not an advice at all. For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS. And His command is according to the BESTOWMENT of grace that He has given, poured, showed and lavished upon a person or group of person’s respectively.

For where there’s God’s enabling POWER and such endowments of grace, therein is the PURPOSE for it. God doesn’t give PURPOSE without enabling POWER neither does He give enabling POWER without the PURPOSE for it to accomplish meaningfully and graciously.

“And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER the apostles GAVE WITNESS to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/NKJV.

“In Him also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINED according to the PURPOSE of Him who works all things according to the COUNSEL of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12.

And God, in placing an order and demanding any concept of a thing to be done means there is already a sufficient and sufficiency of the supply of the enabling grace to do what it will take to make the demands to be fulfilled accordingly. God driven purpose to make us fulfill meaningfully by the charge placed on us – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – is that we might be able to enact who we ARE in Him. And that is:

– To be Earthly Useful and Heavenly Minded.

– To be a More Than Conquerors.

– To Succeed, Triumph, be Victorious and have Dominion.

– To Thrive and be Colourful and not a Survival.

– And become COMPLETE and more, as in our REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus.

The wisdom for today for the essence above thus indicated – that living a colourful and thriving life is gracious, graceful and lovely, but it’s not a give away, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard and idlers; and there’s the need to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as mandated, charged, commissioned and commanded by our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, with the God’s given basic RESOURCES of doing life, which are these:

* Time

* Effort

* Finance

* Material

* People

And ensuring that these named resources above are being fully and meaningfully utilised is important, and that means one needs to follow appropriately and uprightly the utilisation of them,  for the reality and tangibility of the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT of the charged mandate – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

And the knowing that ‘You ARE of God’, “You ARE BELOVED of God” should make you steadily and readily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a victor in life and godliness while you – OCCUPY TILL HE COMES. And knowing that what makes a colourful and thriving life accessible, liveable, loveable, reachable and applicable is because the greater one lives in you also.

“You ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them, because He who is IN you is GREATER than he who is IN the world. 5 They ARE of the world. Therefore they SPEAK as of the world, and the world HEARS them. 6 We ARE of God. He who KNOWS God HEARS us; he who is NOT of God DOES NOT HEAR us. By this we KNOW the spirit of TRUTH and the spirit of ERROR” 1 John 4:4-6/NKJV.

Therefore, to ensure and enact in essence the charged to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, it’s very much imperative to let the God given resources in Christ Jesus for us to do life and live godly becomes effectuate, which are these – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE (PERSONNEL). We have to ensure that they do count and account for our good and goodness as given. Suffice to know that in real life definition, SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT – which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources in principle, responsibility and accountability. And by ensuring this, you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day plan, purpose and pursuit irrespective of the challenges that comes in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead.

“Grace and PEACE be MULTIPLIED to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and PRECIOUS PROMISES, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:3-4/NKJV.

It is on this platform knowing what’s given to us for one to ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’, that one can be driven toward being EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED as scripturally mandated; more so, to live and ensure and enact the being of A MORE THAN CONQUERORS; and to live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL who is wanting to go to heaven so quickly in order to avoid and do away with the life challenges which some likely to ascertain for self-pity and escape route, supposedly.

In a nut shell, the Month October as themed could be characterised but not limited into this headings:

** You are called to ‘OCCUPY TILL I COME’ – in order for you to be of EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED – and not to be the one that’s hurrying for an escape route from life principle of responsibility and accountability due to trials, challenges, circumstances and such like as written:

“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they THOUGHT that the kingdom of God should IMMEDIATELY APPEAR. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

** You are CREATED and MANDATED to FRUITFUL, to MULTIPLY, to REPLENISH and to SUBDUE and to have DOMINION (Live and Reign In DOMINION) in the earth; FOR THE EARTH IS MADE FOR MAN (YOU) AND NOT THE MAN (YOU) FOR THE EARTH. This is very important to be known.

“And God said, Let us MAKE man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED man in his own image, in the image of God CREATED he him; male and female CREATED he them. 28 And God BLESSED them, and God SAID unto them, Be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it: and have DOMINION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

** You are LOVED and CALLED to live – A MORE THAN CONQUERORS with ease as your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION.

“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 . . . 37 Nay, in all these things we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:28, 37.

** You are CALLED and ASSURED to live VICTORIOUSLY in Redemption as your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

** You are CALLED and CAUSE to live always in TRIUMPH in Christ Jesus, thereby manifesting the exquisite fragrance of His KNOWLEDGE in us.

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

** Your CALLED and REDEEMED to live and reign in DOMINION over sin and it’s effect – POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. Hallelujah!

“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.

“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.

I pray you BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Meaning to be empowered to succeed, triumph, and be victorious and in dominion and more than conquerors, as you adhered to Christ Jesus mandate, charge, commission and command to us – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – by being EARTHLY USEFUL and HEAVENLY MINDED, as we awaits His return. Amen!

“And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME. 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. 18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. 19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. 20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: 21 for I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: 23 wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? 24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. 25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) 26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. 27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me” Luke 19:11-27.

“THE EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” Psalms 24:1.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I have MADE THE EARTH, and CREATED man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. 13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward,  saith the Lord of hosts” Isaiah 45:11-13.

“The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but THE EARTH hath he GIVEN to the children of men. 17 The dead praise not the Lord, neither any that go down into silence. 18 But we will bless the Lord from this time forth and for evermore. Praise the Lord” Psalms 115:16-18.

“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.

AFD OCTOBER 2023 EDITION

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER: THE MONTH OF ENACTING THE COMMISSION – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“And he called his TEN servants, and DELIVERED them TEN pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘DO BUSINESS TILL I COME” Luke 19:13/NKJV.

Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS. And by the knowledge and understanding of the context, it’s my earnest PRAYERS that you  resolve to take a step of faith in grace to ENACT the Month October theme – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in order to fulfil the commission mandate to us all – thereby, being Earthly useful and Heavenly minded, in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen.

The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and  it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of new beginning signifying WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops.

In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of AUTUMN and is commonly associated with the season of SPRING in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and AUTUMN in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa.

In line with the context of the Month October theme, you can recall that in creation God gave man a commission mandate to take charge, subdue, have dominion, replenish the earth by His enabling grace as written in the Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 and in same scenario, our God by Christ Jesus, have recalled the essence of the great commission mandate to also “OCCUPY  TILL HE COME” as written in Luke 19:13. We’ve become inexcusable if we undermine this great opportunity to SERVE God acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily in the fellowship and partnership in the terms and context of His commission mandate.

Therefore, to enact the New Creation  theme mandate – “OCCUPY TILL I COME!”, thereby ensuring being Earthy Useful and Heavenly Minded” we must be driven to note it’s about the context also, to advance the Kingdom of God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.  Amen.

I do know that a man’s ignorance is his own mountain and the knowledge of the truth will set him free. Hence I therefore commend you to take time to ponder and meditate on the theme through and through in prayers and where possible accompany with fasting even as the Scripture below do enjoin.

“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.

May you find fulfilment and purpose as you take on Month October and enact the theme to the fulness of the capacity that our God has endowed you with graciousnesss and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE BEAUTIFUL YOU

By Leave a Comment

THE BEAUTIFUL YOU: YOU ARE MADE TO THRIVE AND NOT BE A SURVIVAL IN GRACE!

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified.

It’s time to COLOUR YOUR WORLDS by what God Made You to Be In Christ Jesus stead – otherwise it’s an ADULTERATION and a COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and MAKE -BELIEVE, and that will make you less than God’s definition of you and for you, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: old things are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17/NKJV.

Beloved Friends, just another gracious opportunity to remind you of the need to raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, knowing that you are – fearfully, wonderfully and colourfully – MADE – to thrive and not survive in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

You need to embrace the New You in Christ, live it and enjoy it. You are made to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE as an OVERCOMER of the world system in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. You ARE defined to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead, in the face of all odds and ends in life and godliness, simply because of what God is DONE in you by Christ Jesus. Amen. [1 John 5:3-5; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Romans 8:37; 1 Corinthians 15:57].

Be Blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

September2019 – LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE

By Leave a Comment

September 2019 – LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: Living BLESSED – To Be A BLESSING!

To be BLESSED is to be empowered in God’s grace to SUCCEED, ACHIEVE,  THRIVE, BECOME and MORE, in every venture and endeavour of LIFE and GODLINESS with FULFILMENT, through a gracious plan, purpose and pursuit.

Living The BLESSED Life:

 ** It is a DONE promised blessing of God in our redemption in Christ Jesus.

 ** It’s the blessing that’s free of fear, sorrow, pain, envy,  jealousy and anguish, but always enriching, assuring and ensuring.

 ** God’s BLESSING is not a FEELING, it is in the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – that’s the only way you can BE a BLESSING too.

 ** God’s BLESSING is not car, property, money, empire of business and more; but the enabling endowments of God that makes the things you need like – car, house, business, money, health, and more – come into reality effortless, gracefully and graciously.

** And God’s BLESSING keeps you in His Church or Presence and enables one to go from strenght unto strenght. Meaning, God’s BLESSING doesn’t take you away from His presence or His Church as we’ve seen many BACKSLIDE from FAITH for having some little tokens of money or car or property and more.

  ** I am Blessed – I know It!

  ** You are Blessed – I know It quite well too.

  ** Do you know that you are BLESSED? If yes, then stop running around as one without KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING.

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

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES RICH, and he ADDS NO sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive THE BLESSING from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation” Psalms 24:3-5.

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT nation, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that BLESS thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that THEY which ARE OF FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 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 3:13-14, 26-29.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast SLAIN, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGTH, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-10, 12.

A BLESSED DAY – MAKE IT YOURS

By Leave a Comment

A BLESSED DAY – MAKE IT YOURS: YOU ARE BLESSED – ENACT IT AS A WORD DOER!

Are You Doing The WORD Today? Are you a WORD DOER? Know full well that – to be BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to – THRIVE, SUCCEED, BECOME, ACHIEVE and FULFILLED. It’s not how much eloquently you are or can talk that changes your worlds and the worlds about you, but how much you can DO to bring about the DIFFERENCE in you and others by the WORD.

The scriptures of James 1:22-25 indicates that only the DOERS of what they HEAR of the WORD that are BLESSED in their deeds. This is how Jesus in humanity exemplifies it in life and ministry. He will DO then TEACH or TEACH then DO. He knows the effectual power of DOING to exemplify what he’s about to talk and the efficacy of DOING what He has talked about.

It’s time to step into your worlds with the intent to be a DOER of the WORD of God in order to have the enabling to BECOME in LIFE and GODLINESS – 2 Peter 1:2-4. DOING the WORD would create the atmosphere you wants to see and enjoy. Jesus DID, He had it. You can also make your worlds a better place today.

Be A DOER Of The WORD – You Will Be BLESSED Indeed.

BE BLESSED AS YOU PONDER OVER IT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus began both to DO and TEACH,  2 until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:  3 to whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” Acts 1:1-3.

“But be ye DOERS of the word, and not HEARERS only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a HEARER of the WORD, and not a DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25.
