And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.

Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God.

AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE

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

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

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

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

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

I remember while getting set for my secondary, my Dad of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me an instruction to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he called me. Then said afterwards, what’s my family name. I answered him accordingly. He said that as I leave to the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better of than he is. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED I heard him.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ Jesus then, the only thing I could hear within, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbook or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while away for staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accord by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel and stole away my gifted Bible by my Uncle Austin, as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using same teaching syllabus materials as others. They NEVER knew that I have read in my Bible – Psalms 119:97-100 of what I can be if I give in to channel my life by God’s WORD. The Psalmist Scripture is the consequence of my KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31. And ever since, I knew that by the SCRIPTURES, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT – (written records set before time by others in books and other life format) if I will in my subject of interest. Simply because, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the QUEST of humanity. The rest today is history to God’s eternal glory. Amen.

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

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

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating its kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a belief that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavor of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of one’s kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavor of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

GOD’S PROMISE – GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S PROMISE – GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENT MEDITATION IN THE WORD!

It is one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, but it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS. And SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the inner peace and tranquility of the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“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.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS. It’s okay to have success or be successful; but to have God’s kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow. The good Success which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this difference that makes some claims to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity and unimaginable vices as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION in His WORD.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD through FAITH that overshadows one’s being in that SUCCESS. For INNER peace and tranquility is of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise  it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive. Proverbs 18:14; Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certain that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act or an end. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

WISDOM NUGGETS – The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE!

“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.

The FAITH that WORKS, that is, productive and results oriented, is the FAITH that Is expressed through DILIGENCE. For diligence PLEASE God, and thus it locates and positions one effortlessly with kings – nobility, dignity and honor instead of the obscured, unproductive and mean men.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

And when you PLEASE God by your diligent ways, He makes the ENEMY and COHORTS to be at PEACE with you. What a better way to keep your enemy and cohorts at bay effortless in LIFE and GRACE, in order to keep you advancing the Kingdom Causes of our Good.

And DILIGENCE is to be steadfast, steadily steady, earnestly earnest , smartly smart, energetic effort and consistently consistence onto the set and or given focus; and being SMART – effectual and efficient to accomplish the desired intent.

Know full well that life in grace is not by HARDWORKING, it’s by being SMARTWORKING.

The FAITH That WORKS – PLEASES God through DILIGENCE. And PLEASING God REWARDS Through DILIGENCE.

MONTH FEBRUARY – PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS

By Leave a Comment

MONTH FEBRUARY – PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS: GIVE GOD SOMETHING TO WORK WITH – FOR YOUR PROSPERITY IN HIM!

You are BLESSED of God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, UNCONDITIONALLY – Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:3-6; 3 John 1:2. And to be BLESSED of God is to be empowered to PROSPER, SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME and SUCH-LIKE, in life and grace. However, to enact and authenticate the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus as regards prospering you and I, there’s the need to have, know and understand the works of your hands. For God will only prosper the Works of your hands to prosper you – meaning – NO WORK OF YOUR HANDS, NO PROSPERITY in Christ Jesus stead. God does no magic for He’s not a magician neither does God do confusion because He’s not confused and not the author of confusion as we see in many places by those seeking a microwave instant answers. Suffix to know that God’s BLESSEDNESS and MIRACLES as some may crave, are the consequences of His WORD – there’s no BUT or IF in it.

I also wants you to know that our uncreated creator and almighty God does HEARS and ANSWERS to PRAYERS – Psalms 65:2; Proverbs 15:29. So, the place of prayers and fasting as an act of fellowship to enhance our relationship with God is imperative, incomprehensible, indescribable and unspeakable in every known and unknown respect with God, by the Holy Spirit, in the BLESSEDNESS of His word, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 6:5-8, 16-18.

However, as important as the act of PRAYERS and FASTING are – God can only PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS and not by a mere act of praying and fasting to overshadow our place of being principled in taking responsibility and accountability through diligence and prudence by wisdom, to bring about the reality of our BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means that:

*GOD DOES NOT PROSPER NOTHING – NEITHER DOES HE PROSPER EMPTINESS OR IDLENESS.

* THERE’S NO PLACE FOR A VACUUM WITH GOD TO PROSPER YOU.

There’s the need for inward look before an outward look as Isaiah 6:1-9 teaches us, to enable an individual to have a profound insights and foresight trajectory to their place in life and grace with God in Christ Jesus stead. For an inward discovery will definitely give an outward recovery no matter how much you think that you have elapsed with time. God is always on time with us and never late in His purpose to work out for our good and goodness. Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Philippians 1:6.

That we are born of God, blessed of God, chosen of God, predestinated of God and such like in our REDEMPTION, doesn’t give the rights and privileges of laziness, slothfulness and idleness in the kingdom cause of our God or living in a WISHY-WASHY lifestyle. Ephesians 1:3-6; 2 Peter 1:2-4; 3 John 1:2.

Just know for the record that God doesn’t prosper nothing and God doesn’t prosper laziness and God doesn’t prosper a no work in your hands otherwise any such teaching, prophecy, perception, intuition and messages it’s a counterfeit, fake, adulterated and contradictory to the, authority, fullness and authenticity to the graciousness and gracefulness of the WORD of God in all ramifications of doing life and living godly under God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. But God will lift any person from poverty and obscurity to prosperity and good success in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Joshua 1:8; 1 Samuel 2:7-9.

Jesus WORK the WORKS of Father God that sent Him and for three and half years after thirty years of preparation in knowing and understanding the works on and of His hands, He PROSPERED by God to fulfill PURPOSE and the CAUSE for which He came to the world, born of a woman as you and I. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37.

Therefore, give God something to work with – TILL YOUR LAND AND WATCH GOD PROSPER YOU ACCORDINGLY. For He PROSPER you by PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

WELCOME TO THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY 2023 : MONTH OF ENSURING THAT YOU PROSPER BY – “PROSPERING THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS”
 “Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [spiritually]” 3 John 1:2 Amplified.

A JOB is what you are employed and tutored to do and you can be sacked, retrenched, dismissed and retired even against your will but A WORK is what you are in-built to do and no man can sack, dismiss, retrench, retire you but you and you alone. It is the discovery of the work and your work in you, that makes the difference to make you do things differently; and that enables you to be creative, innovative and initiative by exploring better ways of prospering the work to prosper the you in life and grace without stress and anxiety, murmuring and complaining. By knowing and understanding what your work is all about, then you know your WORTH and how you tend toward an onward and upward trajectory to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, because it’s within you.  THINK ABOUT IT!

When you know you work, the wisdom to prosper the work to prosper you, comes naturally. And the act of faithfulness, diligence, prudence, responsibility and accountability that’s built on principle become natural to you. And knowing and understanding your work and your worth in your worth, will change your perspective of not not blaming others wherever there is setback in the work. We live in a world where people take delight to blame others to in order to create their own narratives and uprising on someone else downfall. Knowing and understanding your work helps you not to be deter by the forces about, no matter the numbers. GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION NEITHER DANCING TO THE COMMONLY ACCEPTABLE AN OPTION WHEN YOU KNOW YOUR WORK.

So, if you wants to prosper, take time to do diligence in self discovery of your work and then ensure all it takes to prosper the work that you may prosper along. Your prosperity is in your hand and not in another. The scripture says in Joshua 1:8, it is you that will make your way PROSPEROUS with GOOD SUCCESS, indicating that they are BAD SUCCESS as it’s written:

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from YOUR mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that YOU may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU WILL MAKE YOUR WAY PROSPEROUS, and then YOU WILL have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8 NKJV.

When you consider your work a business under God as Jesus Christ consider His work, a business under God, you will prosper and increase with wisdom, physique and in favour with God and man.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s BUSINESS? . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:49, 52.

“I must WORK THE WORKS of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can WORK” John 9:4.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED) men” Proverbs 22:29.

And to do business with your work, you have to as a matter of principle to be DILIGENT. And DILIGENCE is not just about hardworking, but about being smart, steadily steady and consistently consistent in FAITH, with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in focus, THRIVING to obtain an effectual and productive result. The otherwise is to be slacked of the work to attract failings and failures instead of prosperity and good success as written:

“He BECOMETH POOR THAT DEALETH WITH A SLACK HAND: but the HAND OF THE DILIGENT MAKETH RICH. 5 He that GATHERETH IN SUMMER is a WISE son: but he that SLEEPETH IN HARVEST is a son that CAUSETH SHAME” Proverbs 10:4-5.

When you DILIGENTLY TILL YOUR LAND – your WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating, there will be PLENTY of bread to sort you out in life and make you a vessel of blessings to others. To TILL is to CULTIVATE – which means, to PLOW, SOW or PLANT and RAISE or PRODUCE. And to ensure that you till the work – you cultivate by plowing on the work and planting a SEED or CROP or investing say TIME, FINANCE,  EFFORT (mental and or physical exertion) and other necessary material to NURTURE that endeavour untill there’s a product – effect or result.

“He that TILLETH HIS LAND shall be satisfied with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

When you are consistently consistent in a steady spirit and faith in that which you set your hearts to do, you will never be disappointed. That’s the spirit of DILIGENCE. It’s REWARDING and EMPOWERING.

“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.

It’s too early to PLAY the LAZY, SLOTHFUL and SLUGGARD card as a fool. It’s time to INITIATE, CREATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE all the necessary possibilities in the work set plan, purpose and pursuit. And DILIGENCE makes it all POSSIBLE.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

JANUARY/YEAR 2023 POSSIBILITIES IS ABOUT BEING DILIGENT IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

JANUARY/YEAR 2023 POSSIBILITIES IS ABOUT BEING DILIGENT IN THE FAITH: FAITH IS YOUR SYNERGY – VITALITY AND LEGALITY – TO DO LIFE AND THE KINGDOM BUSINESS DILIGENTLY!

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavenly in the earthly affairs; while DILIGENCE is – the smartly act, to do life business steadily and consistently in a principled order.

On earth, in this world, we do BUSINESS in life with men by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind as our currency of exchange in transactions, in fact, the US Dollars is currently the de facto currency in use as a measure to every other currency in the world. In same scenario, in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus, we do BUSINESS in life with God by FAITH as our de facto currency – which is built on His WORD in transactions, in order to receive the heavenly endowment in our earthly affairs. And this God’s kingdom currency exchange by FAITH as a medium, supersedes the earthly BUSINESS with men, in the world, in many and everyway, of doing life and living godly. The earthly de facto in exercise is MAMMON, PHYSICAL, HUMANLY and LIMITED to earthly affairs only and precisely, while the heavenly de facto in exercise is GODLY, SPIRITUAL and UNLIMITED – that is, it affects both the life we have now as of today on earth and the life of the heavenly.

“For BODILY (EARTHLY – PHYSICAL, HUMANLY) exercise profiteth little: but GODLINESS (HEAVENLY – SPIRITUAL) is PROFITABLE UNTO ALL THINGS, HAVING PROMISE OF THE LIFE THAT NOW IS, AND OF THAT WHICH IS TO COME. 9 This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation” 1 Timothy 4:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

And doing life purposefully in the kingdom, is done by being DILIGENT and not by any act of slothfulness if we must be fulfilled in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The Kingdom is the Lord’s and He is the GOVERNOR in all nations. For the earth is the Lord’s, the world and all who dwels in it as it’s written:

“The Earth is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein” Psalms 24:1.

“For the KINGDOM is the LORD’S: and he is the GOVERNOR among the NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

Note full well at start that – DILIGENCE IN FAITH PLEASES GOD. It accords heavens reward and unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of royalty, nobles, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of mean or obscure or disgruntled or unproductive people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 6:10-12; Romans 5:1-2.

I therefore employ you in Christ Jesus stead, to start your daily schedules and routines – being today and even now – with a DILIGENT service of FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself overtime, the awesome reward of DILIGENT service and WORK by FAITH in Christ Jesus. Keep your set VISION – plan, purpose and pursuit alive by FAITH in DILIGENCE in Christ Jesus stead.

DILIGENCE AND FAITH – ARE THE TWAIN KINGDOM DEFAULT TOWARD THE HEAVENLY REWARDS IN EARTHLY AFFAIRS. BANK ON THEM TODAY AND ALWAYS FOR YOUR SYNERGY AND DIVIDEND.

I pray for you today, that God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed may abound with you, in everyway, in His BLESSEDNESS of living godly and doing life, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATIONS:

“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.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (NOBLE, HONOUR, ROYAL, DIGNITY); he shall NOT STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, DEPRAVED, STINGY, DISGRUNTLED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men”  Proverbs 22:29.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNGRATEFUL, UNFAITHFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“I will STAND upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it. 3 For THE VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will SURELY COME, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“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.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT TO EVERY MAN THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is given GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
