By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS: IT’S THE FAITH THAT SUBSTANTIATES IN HOPE! 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1. 

The FAITH that works and that’s EFFECTUAL – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the FAITH that SUBSTANTIATES in HOPE. Hence COMMUNICATE your FAITH in HOPE.  

“Let us HOLD FAST the CONFESSION OF OUR HOPE without WAVERING, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23/NKJV. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not UNJUST [UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOR of LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the SAME DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE OF HOPE until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV. 

And by the PATIENCE of HOPE, you can keep FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, as you LABOUR in LOVE to SERVE in GRACE.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 AND BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:16-25.

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON YOUR BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD! 

“My son, give ATTENTION to MY WORDS; INCLINE YOUR EAR TO MY SAYINGS. 21 Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; 22 For they are life to those who find them, And health to all their flesh. 23 Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life” Proverbs 4:20-23/NKJV 

Faith in the WORD or the SAYINGS of God makes all the difference. FAITH is ACTING correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the SAYINGS of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and there’s no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS! 

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the Father God. Any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION or CULTURE. It’s not an assumption or presumption. It’s ACTING on trust in God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubt or disbelief. 

If you BELIEVE and don’t ACT on it, you’ve not endorsed FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God. 

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope, as it’s written: 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1. 

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written:  

“. . . But FAITH which WORKS by LOVE” Galatians 5:6. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to PLEASE (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6/Emphasis mine. 

Further Scriptural Read – Hebrews 11:1-3; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 14:23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Corinthians 13. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that true faith is not just a mental assent or passive belief, but an active trust in God’s Word that leads to action. It’s about acting on what you believe about God’s Word, without doubt or disbelief. 

Key Points 

  • Faith is acting correspondingly on your believe of God’s Word (Proverbs 4:20-23). 
  • Faith is not just believing, it’s acting on what you believe (Hebrews 11:6). 
  • Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from God (Hebrews 11:6). 
  • Faith is not a doctrine, creed, or dogma, but acting on trust in God’s Word. 
  • The faith that works is communicated in hope (Hebrews 11:1) and through love (Galatians 5:6). 

Scriptural Emphasis 

  • References Proverbs 4:20-23, Hebrews 11:1, 6, Galatians 5:6, and Philemon 1:4-6, highlighting the importance of acting on faith, and communicating faith in hope and love. 

Main Takeaways 

  • Faith without action is no faith at all. 
  • Acting on God’s Word is the key to receiving from God. 
  • Faith is effective when communicated in hope and love. 
  • True faith is a vital, active, and effectual force that produces results.

AFD JUNE 2026

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2026: THE MONTH ENTITLED TO – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” . . .” Mark 11:22 [12-14, 20-24]. 

“. . . 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU” . . .” Matthew 9:28-29 [27-31]/NKJV. 

Shalom Beloved of God! Welcome to Month June 2026!! And Kingdom greetings, in the gracious and graceful name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.!!! 

I graciously welcome you to Month June, the Month to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, which is “About Becoming What You BELIEVE Of God In Christ Jesus Stead, In The Grace”. I’m praying that as you receive this writ, all things have come under your foot and control, and you are taking charge of your circumstances, to enable you do life and live godly in the grace effortlessly; and in enjoying to serve our God in Christ Jesus through the Holy Spirit, by His WORD, acceptably, and worship Him worthily; and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation, in the love, that gives us such freedom beyond words and terms, in human comprehension.  

The essence of the Month June Theme – “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, is to help the believing one of God in Christ Jesus, not to have faith in an abstract, rather, to be able to have and exercise faith, in the living, good and faithful, true and sure God; just as the theme essences is “ABOUT BECOMING WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD” in Christ Jesus stead in the grace. 

So, what then is an ABSTRACT to begin with? 

  • To consider a concept without thinking of a specific example – consider abstractly or theoretically. 
  • Having a context or concept that is existing only in the mind – separated from embodiment. 
  • Having a context or concept that is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature. 
  • Dealing with a subject in the abstract without practical purpose or intention. 
  • Having a concept or idea not associated with any specific instance. 
  • Having a sketchy summary of the main points of an argument or theory. 

And in course of the enabling grace giving to me in many encounters of my personal relationship and fellowship with God and His precious people, I have come to know and understand that most people tend to claim to know and have a context and concept to HAVE FAITH IN GOD; but in reality, they can’t actually articulate to enact and authenticate that Faith, to enable them to practically make their knowledge and understanding, to make that Faith acclaimed, tangible in order to BECOME their reality in the faith, in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. 

Therefore, to HAVE FAITH IN GOD in context, is to have faith in His WORD in Christ Jesus for a start, by whom we are bestowed access and wholeness to His presence in fellowship to enjoy the relationship of His being, through and through, as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who is and was both man and God in humanity for our sake. [Hebrews 2:14-15; Acts 4:22; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 12:2; Hebrews 1:1-4]. 

And it’s on this foundation that we can communicate effectively – to be results-oriented and productive to every of our act of doing life and living godly in the grace. More so, we can be overcomers, triumphant, victorious and more than conquerors over the world system, that’s stirring on our faces by the act to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead as written: 

“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. 

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the world. And this is the VICTORY that has OVERCOME THE WORLD—our FAITH. [5] Who is he who OVERCOMES THE WORLD, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5. 

And to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, you must BELIEVE first, because BELIEVE is passive, and it’s to conceive and be pregnant with the WORD, to enable FAITH to be activated upon it. For Faith is active, hence Faith is acting correspondingly upon the believe word of God in context, in the grace accordingly. 

“. . . 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU” . . .” Matthew 9:28-29 [27-31]/NKJV. 

The MONTH JUNE, is the sixth [6] month and the end month of the first half of the calendar year, in the Gregorian and Julian calendar Month; and it’s the 2nd of the 4th in number, of the months of thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar. 

And as in Month JUNE, the name JUNE, is also a lovely given name to the female gender of the sexes which is of great significance. For the Month JUNE as in the name JUNE, expresses in essence, the FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicates how by Having Faith in God in Christ Jesus, God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all of our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. [Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18]. And you can only be able to follow the set plan of God in the grace when you “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.  

It’s my earnest desires that in the course of this month writings and by other format of preaching and teaching, to expatiate in expository why you have to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” and make it tangible to your reality, instead of living in abstract in the mind while thinking that’s Faith in God in Christ Jesus stead. 

Do have an awesome Month June, and BECOME as you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in context, through FAITH in acknowledging what God has done in you, doing in you and doing through you, by the WORD and the BLESSED Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Blessed regards in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING IN CONTEXT: 

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it . . . 20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart [Human Spirit], but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and you will have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24/NKJV. 

“When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31/NKJV. 

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]/NKJV. 

“But what does it say? “The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart [spirit-being]” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart [spirit-being] one BELIEVES unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 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 10:8-13/NKJV. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by THE WORD of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/NKJV. 

“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?— 6 just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” Galatians 3:1-9/NKJV 

SUMMARY: 

The message welcomes readers to June 2026, themed “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, encouraging believers to focus on having faith in a living, good, faithful, true, and sure God, rather than an abstract concept. 

The Essence of the Theme 

The theme is about becoming what you believe of God in Christ Jesus, in the grace. It’s about aligning with God’s nature and character, through faith in Christ Jesus. The goal is to help believers move from having faith in an abstract concept to exercising faith in a real, living God. 

What is Abstract Faith? 

Abstract faith is having a concept or idea without practical application or embodiment. It’s having faith in something that exists only in the mind, without tangible reality. 

The Importance of Faith in God 

Faith in God is not just a mental assent, but a living, active, and practical trust in God’s Word and character. It’s about believing in God’s goodness, faithfulness, and promises, and acting accordingly. 

Key Scriptures 

The message highlights several scriptures, including Mark 11:22, Matthew 9:28-29, and Hebrews 11:1-3, emphasising the importance of faith in God and the power of believing in God’s Word. 

The Power of Believing 

Believing is passive, while faith is active. When we believe, we conceive and become pregnant with God’s Word, and faith is activated to bring it to pass. 

June: A Month of Fulfillment 

June represents fullness of life, fulfillment of desires, and vitality. It’s a month to thrive, not just survive, and to live in God’s blessedness while fulfilling His purpose.

Main Takeaways

  • Believe in God’s Word and character 
  • Faith is active, not just mental assent 
  • Align with God’s nature and character 
  • Expect fulfillment and vitality in June and beyond

Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52. 

There’s the need to note this importantly, that God DOES not have direct promises or covenant as some would like to proclaim WITH us; but He DOES have direct promises or covenant TO us and FOR us IN Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, that God DOES have promises and covenant WITH Jesus Christ, on our behalf in the grace. This highlights the IMPORTANCE of having FAITH IN Christ Jesus toward the Father God, from whom ALL BLESSEDNESS comes, as Christ Jesus is the embodiment of our redemption rights and privileges in the grace. So, when we talk about God’s covenants and promises, they ARE NOT DIRECTLY with us, but with Jesus, on our behalf, to us, in the grace. This understanding is key, as seen in the book of Philemon and other New Testament Scriptures, emphasising faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“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. 

“How I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21/NKJV. 

“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. 

Here are some attributes of God in His faithful nature and faithfulness; this is to enable us see the reason and gracious essence to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” as in this writ context but not limited to: 

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13. 
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23. 
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30. 
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10). 
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9. 
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3. 
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24. 
  8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19. 

God is FAITHFUL, and His FAITHFULNESS is ever sure and true as in the Holy Writ. You need to take time to search the scriptures and find God everywhere therein. So, I encourage you to kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know more of Him, in being faithful and how to walk in faith as shown in scriptures like:  

“You SEARCH the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which TESTIFY of Me” John 5:39/NKJV. 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea. When they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and SEARCHED the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men” Acts 17:10-13. 

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree doesn’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion doesn’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics. And our God of godliness, wants His redeemed children of godliness to do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

One need to know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [[Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dares. The same grace is available to us today despite our challenges to be FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1). 

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And you can now have a reason to see the need to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead, in the grace. 

Be Blessed accordingly. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it . . . 20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart [Human Spirit], but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and you will have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24/NKJV. 

“When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31/NKJV. 

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]/NKJV. 

“But what does it say? “The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart [spirit-being]” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart [spirit-being] one BELIEVES unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 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 10:8-13/NKJV. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by THE WORD of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/NKJV. 

“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?— 6 just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” Galatians 3:1-9/NKJV

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES 

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE! 

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

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are, by the GRACE, and wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus’ stead, Amen. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at these present global challenges in ECONOMICS, WAR, POLITICS and PANDEMICS – and the consequences of these happenings on individuals, families, communities, nations, and globally are having a great effect. Lots of families and nations are on ECONOMIC meltdown, with job losses and bereavement.  Businesses are remodeling to suit the times; except individuals awake to innovate, create, initiate, and explore – just businesses are manoeuvring, KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING the changes in times. For these businesses are making intentional efforts to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING the various ways of doing life with the changes in time, knowing it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become stable by stalling. 

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine. 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15. 

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace. 

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

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have not heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives. 

My earnest PRAYER is that you, as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win each by the grace of God wherein they stand.

“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.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE! 

“The [reverent] fear of the Lord [that is, worshiping Him and regarding Him as truly awesome] is the beginning and the preeminent part of wisdom [its starting point and its essence], And THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE is UNDERSTANDING and SPIRITUAL insight” Proverbs 9:10/Amplified. 

I’ve yet to find a Believer in Christ who doesn’t want to actualise and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately, not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus’ stead in their day-to-day living as may be expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND by faith, as in the Holy Writ. 

“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. 

In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus is only made possible through, firstly, KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly, it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ: 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis mine. 

“Grace and peace [that special SENSE OF SPIRITUAL well-being] be MULTIPLIED to you in the [true, intimate] KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord. 3 For His divine power has bestowed on us [absolutely] everything necessary for [a dynamic spiritual] life and godliness, through true and personal KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has bestowed on us His precious and magnificent promises [of inexpressible value], so that by them you may escape from the immoral freedom that is in the world because of disreputable desire, and become sharers of the divine nature” 2 Peter 1:2-4/Amplified. 

And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long-standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God. 

I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed. 

Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God did for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING: 

  • That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32. 
  • That knowledge will deliver one from life and scriptural errors, and help one engage with God’s power to save, deliver, and restore – Matthew 22:29 
  • That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32. 
  • That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6. 
  • That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52. 
  • That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2. 
  • That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33. 
  • That People who hates knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15. 
  • That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9. 
  • That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5. 
  • That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18. 
  • That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.  
  • That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15. 
  • That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32. 
  • That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.  
  • That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24. 
  • That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6. 
  • And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29. 

These writs above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence, I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17. 

“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8. 

“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. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding the knowledge of the Holy (God) in order to actualise and experience the fullness of redemption in Christ Jesus. 

Key Points:

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH: THE INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER – TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE! 

“. . . 5 And beside this, GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADD TO YOUR FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY . . .” 2 Peter 1:1-11. 

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. 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. And faith is active while believe is passive; meaning there’s a difference. For FAITH in other words, is acting correspondingly upon what you BELIEVE of God’s Word in the grace, in the context of consideration in Christ Jesus stead. 

Hence being DILIGENT in FAITH is a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled and mean people. [Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29]. 

Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing year, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus. 

However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertains to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons: 

  • VIRTUE 
  • KNOWLEDGE 
  • TEMPERANCE 
  • PATIENCE 
  • GODLINESS 
  • BROTHERLY KINDNESS 
  • CHARITY (LOVE) 

These add-ons ingredients of CHARACTER, makes you abound in your CHARISMATIC grace, and more so, as you stay DILIGENT in FAITH. It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited: 

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS”  

I pray God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way of living and doing life, as you ADD TO YOUR FAITH THESE NECESSARY ADD-ONS /INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER, TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH 

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IS EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE! 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God. 

It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIM to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirm to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine. 

The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21. 

Therefore, know today that your effectual communication of the faith – is embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16. 

“That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:9-13. 

“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. 

“Be not DECEIVED; God is not MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” Galatians 6:7. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF FAITH is rooted in understanding one’s position in God’s grace.  

Key Points: 

  • Genuine communication (professing, confessing, declaring) of faith in Christ Jesus leads to gracious outcomes. 
  • This happens when you acknowledge and possess the good things God has given you in Christ (Philemon 1:6). 
  • You can’t just claim faith without genuinely resolving to live it out unreservedly. 
  • God isn’t mocked; He wants you to know and understand your standing in His grace. 
  • Understanding your position in grace gives you leverage to stand bold and fulfill purpose in the Gospel (Romans 15:20-21). 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Philemon 1:6 – Communication of faith becomes effectual through acknowledging God’s work in you.  
  • Romans 5:1-2 – Justified by faith, we stand in God’s grace. 
  • Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 4:14-16 – Hold fast to your profession of faith. 

The message encourages believers to grasp their standing in God’s grace, leading to bold and effective communication of faith.
