By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S THE GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD! 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [TRUE] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW to it [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22/Amplified. 

” . . . 3 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 1:1-12/NKJV. 

It’s high time to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus’ stead, to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. The BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus’ stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as it’s of our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom for the kingdom cause of our God. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35/Amplified. 

And our God of promise and provider is faithful, true, sure, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender, etc. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who call upon His name and are always in the YES and AMEN, without a doubt and no to His WORD. 

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not YES and NO. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was NOT YES and NO, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV. 

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified. 

“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. 

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39. 

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Here are some reasons for this given, entrusted and available BLESSEDNESS of God: 

  •  That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9/(NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2]. 
  •  That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9]. 
  •  That you have plenty, enough, and leftovers to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding, or complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38]. 
  •  To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3]. 
  •  To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like; POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality lead to stealing, robbery, bribery, etc. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34]. 
  •  To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus’ stead. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].  
  •  To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. [Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17]. 

These and many, as may be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit within, indicate God’s graciousness and gracefulness in Christ Jesus  – to see you do life and live godly in righteousness, in the kingdom, on this side of the heavenly in our earthly temporary domain. The whole concept is the essence of you knowing and understanding your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Now that you know that the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and ENTRUSTED, and also AVAILABLE for you in grace, what manner of person OUGHT you to become in your path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead? This is to help you to be fulfilled meaningfully the purposefully while you are ENDOWED and ENTRUSTED with God’s BLESSEDNESS.  

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23. 

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9. 

“. . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his OWN will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12. 

“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.

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE 

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING! 

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12. 

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom from God to excellently do life and live godly, as it’s written in the Holy Writ: 

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. 

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing – called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all spheres that pertain to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8. 

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in the plight of grace, and in all about doing life and living godly, herein are PRINCIPLES for your perusal; this is to help you to think and ponder your cause and course, in respect to the plan, purpose and pursuit to attain your desires in the Scriptural context. And your expectations can only be possible through the principles of PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM: 

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE: 

  • PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. It thus also means that being passionate about something as in – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing: 

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine). 

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE: 

  • KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experienced the effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results in the grace. 

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling decision. For being informed helps to make informed decision in doing life and living godly in the grace; but a mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written: 

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine). 

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE: 

  • UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence, where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life. 

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written: 

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine). 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise) Proverbs 21:16. 

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of Passion, knowledge and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1. 

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2. Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3. Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6. For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10. For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12. WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT). 

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified. 

SUMMAARY: 

The message focuses on the ESSENCE OF WISDOM in doing life and living godly, emphasising the principles of PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING. 

Key Points: 

  1. WISDOM is crucial: WISDOM is a defence, gives life, and is worth pursuing in Christ Jesus (Ecclesiastes 7:11-12, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31). 

Three principles for WISDOM: 

  • PASSION/ZEAL: Vitality for life plan, purpose, and pursuit, but needs KNOWLEDGE (Romans 10:1-4). 
  • KNOWLEDGE: Important, but not enough without UNDERSTANDING (1 Corinthians 8:1-3). 
  • UNDERSTANDING: Key to WISDOM, helps make purposeful decisions (Proverbs 4:7, 13:15). 
  1.  Benefits of WISDOM: 
  • It Gives strength and safety (Proverbs 24:3-6). 
  • It Saves from evil and twisted ways (Proverbs 2:1-17). 
  • It Leads to a thriving, colourful, meaningful, and fulfilling life. 

Scriptural encouragement: 

  • Ask God for WISDOM in faith (James 1:5-8). 
  • Treasure WISDOM like a precious pearl (Matthew 13:44-46, Proverbs 2:1-17). 

Overall: The message encourages pursuing WISDOM by combining PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING to live a godly, thriving, and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus.

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENHANCED 

By Leave a Comment

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT! 

“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED. 

Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom. 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you, knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the need to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable, and liveable and loveable in all possible paths of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us. 

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified. 

I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact, and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified. 

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified. 

“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. 

“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified. 

“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified. 

“. . . 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. 10. How was it then reckoned? When he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25. 

“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. 

“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.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IS PURE AND IMPARTIAL AND ENRICHING TO ALL – AND IS COMMUNICATED BY FAITH! 

“For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is NO DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:11-13 

The day I read that being born again means believing God in Christ Jesus stead, that our Father God is RICH TO ALL who call upon His name, and there’s no difference [distinction] with Him – my perspective, context, and content in grace changed forever for good and goodness [Romans 10:11-13]. Knowing that fellowship is to enhance the relationship with Father God in Christ Jesus stead [Acts 20:20-21; 1 Corinthians 1:9] it’s irrespective; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice or dissimulation, it enforced the understanding that God’s BLESSEDNESS isn’t limited to few;  isn’t based on status, tongue, race, gender, geography, or such like; but is enriching and available to ALL in the grace [Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-33]. 

God is no RESPECTER of persons. Indicating that God’s enriching to all nations is not limited by reason of geography; and His enriching to any is by having a right standing in RIGHTEOUSNESS with Father God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s when joy, peace in the Holy Spirit is known. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I UNDERSTAND now that God is not one to show PARTIALITY [to people as though Gentiles were EXCLUDED from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the PERSON who FEARS God and DOES what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified. 

“For the KINGDOM of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who SERVES Christ in these things is ACCEPTABLE to God and APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/NKJV. 

The BLESSEDNESS of God in you, in Christ Jesus, needs to be harness, stir up and fan into flame in order to become tangible, reachable, liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, when it’s communicated by faith in the Holy Spirit that’s given to us. 

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6. 

“And hope MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5. 

And you have to realise and actualise in your total being, that, THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is PURE, ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL to all, including you, and is the GOOD and GOODNESS of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. It’s presence in you is a default to help you to be EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT – that is, to be results oriented and productive, in bringing into reality and tangibility the needed things you need to do in life and to live godly, in Christ Jesus stead. It’s by your willingness to acknowledge that the good and goodness of God in you, makes all the difference in you and through you, in order for you to advance the kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay effortlessly. 

And it’s imperative for you to come for realise and actualise in God’s redemption, His BLESSEDNESS is lavishly given and entrusted to us to enjoy as our rights and privileges – without partiality, sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation (hypocrisy). We all have the same access by FAITH and stand by GRACE toward God in Christ Jesus, from every KINDRED, TONGUE, PEOPLE, and NATION. None, irrespective, is limited from God’s BLESSEDNESS by any means. 

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

However, the FEAR of the unknown and through ignorance of not knowing what’s IN YOU to make a headway in God in Christ Jesus, makes people want to hold other person or people as an entitlement and being responsible and accountable for their happiness, peace and fulfilment. I want you to know and understand that FEAR will intimidate, harasses, torment, embarrass, cowardice, frustrate, destroy, limit and do such like, to an individual in order for such individual to be robbed of becoming what they ARE and OUGHT to be in God, in Christ Jesus stead. 

The above paragraph explains how fear effected scriptural young Timothy, who was called for a purpose and had PRAYERS and PROPHECIES ENDOWED upon him during his ordination. Despite this, he allowed FEAR, the ENEMY and COHORTS policing officer, to take hold of him, letting it rule and reign over him. This hindered him from functioning in LOVE, POWER, and SOUND MIND, making it difficult to make rightful decisions to progress and take him to the next stage of his life. 

It took Apostle Paul presence, the need for a very good healthy mentor, in reminding him of his ENDOWED BLESSEDNESS and that the spirit of God given in him to harness, stir and fan into flame within him to MANIFEST into REALITY – all the good and goodness he earnestly desired, does not live and operate within the sphere of fear. And that’s the reason he has to double up out of the spirit of fear sphere and all it represents, so that he can bring to reality the GOOD of God, done as a default in him in Christ Jesus. Amen.  

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the SPECIAL ENDOWMENT] which is IN YOU through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7. 

And where THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD operates in perfect love, fear and its sphere will disappear into oblivion and the individual can take on any judgement that’s challenging the FAITH of access toward God and the GRACE upon which one stands in Christ Jesus, in harnessing THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within, in order to create and initiate the heavenly atmosphere in our earthly affairs, as the Apostle John epistle admonishes and our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, taught us on how to PRAY.  

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

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, when ye PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, so IN EARTH….” Luke 11:1-4. 

It’s intriguing to note that 1 John 4:17 says, “. . . as He is, so ARE we in this world” while Luke 11:2 says, “. . . let your will be done as in heaven so ALSO on the earth”. This indicates how much we can, by THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within us as a default, we can create and initiate the atmosphere we want to see and enjoy of God irrespective of anything. For by the communication of our FAITH, and acknowledging of the good and goodness of God within us in Christ Jesus, is the HOW to harness, stir up, and fan into flame to achieve the EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT desired and needed results and productivity in our path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Just know today that THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD is PURE and ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL; and it’s not corruptible, neither is there a place for sorrow and anguishing for any to ROB you off it, so that you don’t go about blaming others by any means, process and platforms, for the inoperative of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you. All simply because you have not made an intentional decision, and have not been able to harness, stir it up and fan into flame – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – within you, because of the fear and ignorance of your own, in not communicating by faith, through the acknowledging of the good and goodness of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY that you might abound in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:3-4. 

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

“. . . 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. 10. How was it then reckoned? When he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25. 

“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. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – it’s pure, impartial, enriching, and available to all who believe in Christ Jesus.  

Key Points: 

  • God’s blessedness is given without partiality, sentiments, or dissimulation (Romans 10:11-13, Acts 10:34-35) 
  • We have access to God’s blessedness by faith and stand by grace in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1-2) 

This blessedness enables us to: 

  • Create and initiate God’s atmosphere in our lives 
  • Function in love, power, and sound mind 
  • Achieve effectual and efficient results and productivity 
  • Know that Fear can hinder us from harnessing God’s blessedness (2 Timothy 1:6-7) 

We must: 

  • Acknowledge the good and goodness of God in us 
  • Communicate our faith 
  • Stir up and fan into flame God’s blessedness within us 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Romans 10:11-13 – God’s righteousness and blessedness for all 
  • 1 John 4:17-18 – Perfect love casts out fear 
  • Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29 – The blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus 
  • Revelation 5:9-10 – Redeemed from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation 

The message encourages believers to harness God’s blessedness by faith, overcome fear, and live godly lives.

THE EAGLE IS AUTHENTIC

THE EAGLE IS AUTHENTIC: BE AUTHENTIC AS THE EAGLE IF YOU MUST SOAR! 

“For do I now PERSUADE men, or God? or do I seek to PLEASE men? for if I yet PLEASED men, I should not be the SERVANT of Christ. 11 But I CERTIFY you, brethren, that the GOSPEL which was PREACHED of me is not after man. 12 For I neither RECEIVED it of man, neither was I TAUGHT it, but by the REVELATION of Jesus Christ” Galatians 1:10-12. 

THERE’S A NEED FOR AUTHENTICITY IN PREACHING THE GOSPEL – AND IF YOU MUST SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE, YOU NEED TO BE AUTHENTIC IN ALL. 

It’s time for your timely timeline to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE reality on an onward and upward trajectory – not just bubbling in life, for you to ensure the leverage into the sphere you want to see and enjoy in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. That’s how to end all complaints, worries ,and anxiousness in the cause of the preaching of the Gospel. 

You WORTH a new dawn by being authentic. And you need to make it happen for your good and for all you care about and for humanity. This is possible by REVELATION as you SOAR AS AN EAGLE by the WIND – the HOLY SPIRIT – the personified God that lives in us to enable our empowering for authenticity [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17]. For the WIND will give you every enabling to fulfil PURPOSE when you allow Him take His place in you 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. 

Don’t stay on the side road, don’t stay on the middle ground, neither stay on the complaining, murmuring and nagging seat; but on the onward and upward trajectory sphere of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, that gives you the enabling to GET – CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE – the BLESSEDNESS of God in the world as you do life and live in grace, and to BECOME a BLESSING too. 

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER to GET (INITIATE, CREATE, EXPLORE AND INNOVATE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine. 

Make your AUTHENTICITY known without ADULTERATION, COPYCATS, or COUNTERFEIT. For history will remember you – either for the PROBLEMS of life that you SOLVED by seizing opportunity, or for the CHAOS and PAIN you didn’t resolve despite having the chance. You will also be remembered for the problems you created, initiated, explored and innovated to humanity, even when it was within your reach to make it happen for others’ good and goodness. 

May you be BLESSED and a BLESSING as you initiate, create, explore, and innovate as you do life and live in godliness, in all to be an ANSWER and ASSET for the good and goodness of others, in every way, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“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.

“Yea, so have I STRIVED to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD upon another man’s FOUNDATION” Romans 15:20.

“And so I have MADE it my aim to PREACH the GOSPEL, not where Christ was NAMED, lest I should BUILD on another MAN’S foundation” Romans 15:20 (NKJV)

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION! 

“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 STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12. 

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. Hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM. 

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

There are Seven  (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why? 

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of the WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people know what God has given them, which on their part would only require ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING fora Life of Gratitude, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortlessly and without sweat. 

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, that’s what most Believers do in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a heart of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas have kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for the same thing and stay in the same act and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious, we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. 

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, and a life of GRATITUDE your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead.

THESE ARE: 

  • POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc. (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc). 
  • RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc. (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3). 
  • WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc. (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc.). 
  • STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc. (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc.). 
  • HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc. (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21). 
  • GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc. (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc.). 
  • BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc. (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc.). 

I pray that THESE REDEMPTION DEEDS that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN to us will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!   

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES! 

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH rich, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” (Proverbs 10:22). 

“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. 

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God. 

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold, and more, yet it’s not about material wealth; it answers every quest of human problems, granting prosperity and fruitful posterity. It empowers us to turn the impossible into possibility and the possible into certainty. 

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions. 

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason. 

“Lay NOT UP for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 5:19-21. 

“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 what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality and power and [c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21. 

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-7. 

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD. 

“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. 

“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. 

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – [Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4]; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28]. 

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF – “BEING LED OF THE SPIRIT”: THE ENABLING POWER OF GOD TO ACCESS AND FULFILL PURPOSE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God . . .” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

Until redemption in Christ Jesus, the OLD TESTAMENT CREATION people were LED by mere men [people] who serves under God as Prophet, Priest, Kings and Levites, and who were not born again [circumcised in the hearts] otherwise born of God with the Holy Spirit living within them [Romans 2:28-29; Philippians 3:3; John 14:16-27; Romans 5:5]. All of them from the Old Testament till the Gospel, none was born of the Spirit in their spirit-being, in order for them to know, understand and experience God within for themselves [John 3:1-15]. Those in use to accomplish divine purpose in the Old Creation Testament, received the Blessed [empowering] Spirit of God’s BLESSEDNESS UPON them firstly [without living WITHIN them], but ONLY for them to function and carry out the intent [plan, purpose and pursuit] of God as they were instructed in all generation and dispensation until Christ Jesus, that’s when the Spirit WITHIN comes into being for our BLESSEDNESS within. The Holy Spirit, the third person of the divine trinity was concealed [not revealed in person except in function] to those in used in the Old Creation Testament.

“For there are three that bear record [witness] in heaven, THE Father, THE Word, and THE Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

And God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace in muchly as real  as when it’s being by the spiritual empowering – of the Holy Spirit, who is enabling of God, and the ensuring factor that brings God’s promises to physical reality [tangibility] in various formats to all in humanity; unfortunately, most people thinks that God’s BLESSEDNESS  [BLESSINGS] are of the physical [tangible] things they see, feel/touch, smell, hear and taste; which unfortunately, it’s not, otherwise it will rot, rust, corrupt, decay, degrade, depreciate and such like, in all things happening under the Sun. And it’s heavenly secured in God’s hands of righteousness, where Christ is seated and we in grace ARE positioned and sitted at the right hands of the Father God, and it’s with no earthly corruptions, counterfeits, distortion and adulteration to undermine its priceless worth in the grace.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath raised us up together, and made us SIT together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES break through and STEAL: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES IN HEAVEN, where neither MOTH nor RUST doth CORRUPT, and where THIEVES do not BREAK through nor STEAL: 21 for where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART [SPIRIT-BEING] be also” Matthew 6:19-21.

For God’s enabled BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] it’s not accompanied with sorrow and such like, but it enriches to all things; and it’s not limited to any to monopolised as it’s irrespective [gender, race, colour, tongue, status, class, geographical location etc], and it’s not governed by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“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 10:11-13.

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

“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.

In same scenario, to BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT [HOLY SPIRIT] is another act of the BLESSEDNESS [BLESSING] of God in Christ Jesus. That you live and do life in grace by the leading [being led] of God in every of your life decisions, it’s an awesome, gracious and graceful realm to enjoy of God in order to fulfil purpose in your redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord in humanity, knows the virtue of BEING LED of the Spirit, from the onset of His humanity and Ministry until His end of time in our redemption. He knows it takes the Father God BLESSEDNESS to function within His perspectives. And because He was BEING LED of the Holy Spirit, He was able to fulfill the demands of Father God for human redemption with no stone left unturned in His humanity [Matthew 3:16-17; Matthew 4:1/Luke 4:1-22; Acts 10:38].

The Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, can also enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BEING LED of the Holy Spirit. It’s God’s given access to ALL in Redemption that are born of God in Christ Jesus [Romans 5:1-2, 5-8]. That’s what ensures SONSHIP in God in Christ Jesus. [Galatians 4:6-7; Romans 8:14 (8-11, 14-17, 26-40); Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13]. And every believer should crave to ensure that they are BEING LED of God, otherwise satan and cohorts will set up middle men in religious cloaks and will act religiously as your go-between to God which is unscriptural toward religiosity, dogma, bondage and such like [1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12]. There are many out there for deception and to pervert and to deceive others of the truth [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18] and BEING LED of the Holy Spirit BLESSEDNESS gives the wisdom from above, to be above only in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 3:15 (13-18)].

I PRAY that you will rise up now in Christ Jesus and thirst and hunger after the BLESSEDNESS of BEING LED by the Holy Spirit of promise – who is the Holy Spirit of the triune [trinity] God [1 John 5:7]. If you act otherwise, it then means you’ve set yourself readily ready to fall prey and victim before the enemy and cohorts of your faith in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 5:8-9; James 3:13-18].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING ON CONTEXT:

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“Then was Jesus LED up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” Matthew 4:1.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . . 14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all . . .  18 The Spirit of the Lord is UPON me, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him 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.

“How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him” Acts 10:38/AMP Classic Edition.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 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 your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17.

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED WITH POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“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.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“. . . 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father GIVE the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?” Luke 11:9-13.

“Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from ABOVE, but is EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace” James 3:13-18.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S A GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [TRUE] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW to it [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22/Amplified.

” . . . 3 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 1:1-12/NKJV.

It’s a high time for you to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. For the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as it’s of our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom for the kingdom cause of our God.

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35/Amplified.

And our God of promise and provider is faithful, true, sure, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender and such like. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who calls upon His name and are always in the YES and AMEN, without an iota of doubt and no to His WORD.

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not YES and NO. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was PREACHED among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was NOT YES and NO, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the PROMISES of God in Him are YES, and in Him AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV.

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24/Amplified.

“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.

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39.

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Herein are the reasons for the given and entrusted – and available BLESSEDNESS of God:

That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9/(NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2].

That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. [Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9].

That you have plenty enough and left overs to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding and complaining. [Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38].

To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. [Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3].

To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such like. [Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34].

To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus stead. [Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12].

To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. [Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17].

These above and many as may be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit within, indicates the graciousnesss and gracefulness of our God in Christ Jesus to see you do life and live godly in righteousness, in the kingdom, on this side of the heavenly in our earthly temporary domain. The whole concept is the essence of you knowing and understanding your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Now that you know that the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and ENTRUSTED, and also AVAILABLE for you in grace, what manner of person OUGHT you to become in your path of doing life and to live godly in Christ Jesus stead; this is in order to help you to be fulfilled meaningfully the purposefully for the while you are ENDOWED and ENTRUSTED with God’s BLESSEDNESS.  SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“. . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his OWN will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.

“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.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!
 
“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED.
 
Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.
 
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.
 
I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.
 
“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.
 
“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.
 
“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.
 
“. . . 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. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.
 
“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.
 
“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.
