THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH: YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT!

“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

Sometimes in the course of life, things – ADVERSITIES – do happens. How we go about it defines lots in our moving forward – onward and upward trajectory or moving backward or at stand still. When in course of life time – you lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you, or sickness and diseases afflicts you and your financial position gets worst and uncertain; your career or educational pursuits comes to a hurt and many more setback comes to play in your life – WHAT DO YOU DO? Do you go down to Egypt as Isaac of Abraham in Genesis 26:1-6 or take the step of FAITH as a SHIELD on God’s WORD to believe that with God you can make a new starts up to a better today and tomorrow, in spite of all the odds that are before you or had befallen you. That we are not of them who cast away our confidence in God or pull back into perdition but of them that believed in the all possible God in His people in all circumstances.

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the PROMISE. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

I want you to also know full well – that, there’s a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH as well as a GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. And there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE in the course and cause of doing life and to living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s the HOW you use the WORD in MATTERS of life – to either RESPOND instead of to REACT – that defines if you are on a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH and BAD WARFARE or GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH and GOOD WARFARE, in Christ Jesus stead. For the ability to have the good fight of FAITH and good WARFARE is what makes your assured stands in grace 24/7, in all the phases of doing life and living godly to fulfill purpose meaningfully.

“FIGHT the good FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have FINISHED my COURSE, I have KEPT the FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made SHIPWRECK: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

I WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE MATERIAL GAINS, THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE. Your FAITH is your VICTORY – and when the enemy and cohorts get your FAITH caught up by any chance – everything about you goes down – for your FAITH is your SHIELD in dealing with the challenges of life in the world and it’s system of operandi. Hence your FAITH on the WORD is an indispensable acquisition NEVER to trade about for any price or prize.

“Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED” Ephesians 6:16.

“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.

The enemy and cohorts knows, if they can SUCCEED in getting you off your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus, they will not only ruin you but will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; knowing, when you succeed in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries.

The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).

“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25.

The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too, but he and cohorts eventually and completely lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written:

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

And I know for sure and assured certainty, the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let him be – give them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially. Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ, for your FAITH worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide simply for a momentary lack; because I know you can and will come back better and best of times in life and godliness than you were before if you deal life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously and gracefully when your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you. That’s all you need now, today and always.

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. You must contend daily for your FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. You must RESIST by FAITH the enemy and cohorts steadfastly on daily basis, to keep your statuesque in life and grace. You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness by FAITH. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I pray that as you stand by FAITH upon the grace for your JUSTIFICATION and ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus, that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

You may be at the verge of your ELEVENTH HOUR to break forth into your miracles and breakthrough over all the – mountains, valleys, crooked roads and rough places – that have stood AGAINST you in entering your DESIRED PLACES; more so, be set to breakthrough into that SET gracious position that tend to have defiled you and define you by standing as an OBSTACLE to your path of fulfilment and excellence.

All you need to do is to take an extra walk andon the WORK of FAITH against all odds and LAUNCH into the DEEP, that is, away from the SHALLOW of – intimidation, failure, fear and mediocrity – because your hour of great catch is come and it’s now in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT.  5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS at thy WORD I will let down the net.  6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great MULTITUDE of FISHES: and their net brake.  7 And they BECKONED unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.  8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.  9 For he was ASTONISHED, and all that were with him, at the DRAUGHT of the fishes which they had taken . . .” (Luke 5:1-11)

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

“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.

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and it’s EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every places in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

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

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.

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

“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.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“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.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“What is my REWARD then? Verily that, when I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ABUSE not my POWER IN THE GOSPEL. 19 For though I be FREE FROM ALL MEN, yet have I made myself SERVANT unto all, that I might GAIN the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might GAIN the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might GAIN them that are under the law; 21 to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might GAIN them that are without law” 1 Corinthians 9:18-21.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics.

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 dare. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges to toward being FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]

Our God is FAITHFUL God, that is His NATURE. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

  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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: DARE YOUR FEAR

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: DARE YOUR FEAR – TO BECOME THE YOU – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY FAITH!

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR [INTIMIDATION, COWARDICE, INFERIORITY COMPLEX, FEAR PHOBIAS]; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7/Emphasis Mine.

Start your daily DAWN day on a very high note on God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. This is possible when you resolve to daily and now – DARE your FEAR with the FAITH of the grace of God that LIVES within you. This is the only way to BECOME or BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you BE in REDEMPTION, especially in all the challenging times and circumstances that’s before you now or may show up later.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 And DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

You must arise in grace and DARE your FEAR with FAITH in God, in God’s WORD, in order to enhance your Now – today and set your tomorrow ready for an Onward and Upward trajectory ALTITUDE. Taking your REDEMPTION stand by God in Christ Jesus stead are for these simple REASONS:

** FEAR is the enemy Policing Officer – that is, the policing vehicle of darkness at war to captivate your FAITH of becoming whom God has MADE you to be in Him in Christ Jesus. Amen.

** FEAR has the enabling tacts of robbing one of the God’s given potential and the purpose of accomplishment and fulfilment in all phases of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

** FEAR creates insecurity, it captivates, robs one of self-esteem, self-defense, self-Worth and dignity.

** FEAR has the capacity to destroy life vision and mission.

** FEAR can cripple and paralyse you, rob you of hope, faith and love in life and godly living. For it intimidates and makes you inferior or with inferiority complex and filled up with fear phobias.

** FEAR can eventually leads to the death of anything be it human or projects, relationships, business and such like.

** FEAR is the enemy the devil and cohorts, primary and only major means mode of operandi in their various acts and operations; and you must steadfastly contend and resist them in faith in Christ Jesus stead uncompromisingly.

GOD IS FAITHFUL – DARE YOUR FEAR TO BECOME THE YOU BY GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY FAITH. AMEN.

The only way to police fear and keep fear at bay, that is, where it belongs is to DARE it in steadfast FAITH. For FAITH is the VICTORY to overcome the ENEMY and COHORTS in the world sphere where they choose to operate to cast the FEAR spells. And FAITH is acting correspondingly on whom and what you POSSIBLY believe on the WORD of God in God. When you POSSIBLY believe God can make you better and great; and you believe in the cause and course of God’s WORD to make you better and great, FEAR disappears because FAITH has come to take it’s place in you and to displace the fear phobia. Know for sure that anytime and when FAITH shows up, FEAR is paralyzed and crippled from functioning.

“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/NKJV.

For FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH your world of daily fear phobia for SECURITY and SELF-WORTH of who you are in God by Christ Jesus; and of what to –  eat, drink and put on, and such like – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. And God has dealt to everyone THE MEASURE of FAITH and THE MEASURE of His enabling GRACE to live life in full –  triumphantly and wholly in everyway.

“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.

There are over 365 Scriptures of FEAR NOT in the Holy Writ – The BIBLE; and to live in VICTORY over FEAR; thus indicate a more than enough for each day. Therefore, FEAR NOT – that’s the Living and Soaring spirit of the Eagle to rule and reign in DOMINION and EXALTATION in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus had made you free from fear by BECOMING human first, that you by His redemption, might be free, and free indeed from the spirit and bondage of fear in everyway and everywhere. DARE NOW TO BE what you are in God in Christ Jesus stead, according to the scriptural writ concerning you in Him. And I therefore say again:

DARE your FEAR with the FAITH of the grace of God that LIVES within you. This is the only way to BECOME or BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you BE in REDEMPTION.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Love has been PERFECTED among us in this: 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 CASTS OUT FEAR, because FEAR involves TORMENT. But he who FEARS has not been MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:14-15.

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE us MEET [QUALIFIED] to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:13-14/Emphasis Mine.

“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” Ephesians 1:7-8.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED FROM OUR ENEMIES, AND FROM THE HAND OF ALL THAT HATE US; 72 to PERFORM the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our enemies might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

THE KINGDOM DEMAND

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead.

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an advice to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an order, a command, a mandate and an assignment. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquility irrespective and without prejudice.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3.

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, as His epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written:

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS that’s upon your life in all wisdom in graciousnesss and gracefulness. That you are not undermined by any means as by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, that, as an EPISTLE you are ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice by FAITH and not limited in this GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s:

** A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus [2 Corinthians 5:17]

** God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus [2 Corinthians 5:20].

** A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus [Romans 8:37].

** An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11].

** VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57].

** TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14].

** REDEEMED in Christ Jesus [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12]

** A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus [1 Peter 2:9-10].

** . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead.

Also, that you take a STAND by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH stand in grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” demands of the kingdom. For we live in the perilous times and days where are out there are PERVERTERS of the Gospel; and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the lead power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers.

“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 SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also against any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

” Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

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

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

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

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

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I AM SET FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

The NEED to TREASURE and to BUILD-UP

By Leave a Comment

HAVING FAITH IN GOD: IS HAVING FAITH IN HIS WORD!

To have FAITH in God, is to have FAITH in His WORD. To have FAITH in His WORD is to first BELIEVE in His WORD. To BELIEVE in His WORD is to HEAR His WORD and ACT – CONCEIVE accordingly to His WORD. Therefore, FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) OF THE HEARING OF GOD’S WORD.

Mountains can be levelled or made a plain, Valleys can be exalted or filled, Crooked Road can be made strait and Rough Places in life can be made smooth, when we BELIEVE on What God had said by His WORD about that matter, then ACT accordingly on it.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT OR UNTIL YOU MAKE IT. There’s no room to fake or dilute or adulterate God’s WORD to make it. Just BELIEVE and act on it accordingly, then your miraculous needs will be answered effortless.

UNBELIEF is a killer disease to RECEIVING from God. I mean UNBELIEF to the WORD of God. BELIEVE is of the heart (human spirit) and not of the head (Five Senses). It’s heart knowledge and not head (senses) knowledge.

THREE REASONS TO CRAVE FOR THE WORD:

*** FAITH can only COME by the HEARING of the WORD of God, that is needed to plight in life; and to thrive meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling – Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14; Galatians 3:2-6.

*** The WORD is of the TRINITY in the Heaven or Heavenly places where your expected blessing are located and comes to you by FAITH – 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-7, 14; Ephesians 1:3.

*** The Holy Angels, supposedly the ministering agents of God that are there to convey your blessings to you from the heavens, ONLY RESPONDS, that is, ATTENDS or HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to a mere tears or sentiments and emotions – Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14.

Know for sure and sure that FAITH is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) as a CONSEQUENCE of the HEARING of God’s WORD.

Therefore, THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE unto you” Matthew 17:19-20.

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

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

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: That’s FAITH IN THE FAITH – To Beautify and Colour Your Worlds!

We live in a gracious and graceful time of human history with God in spite of the challenges and difficult time in the world. Unfortunately, lots of supposedly Believers in Christ Jesus, keep making unwarranted noise around towards their inability to enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of the FAITH, while in essence, they are not even ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH. You cannot have Faith in the FAITH that you are NOT intentionally committed to be established in it, and still wants to be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. God does no magic; He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS; and His COMMANDS are INSTRUCTIONS and not an ADVICE that you PICK and CHOOSE as in cherry garden.

Just as you cannot work in a National Post Office Services and it’s wage rating and you want to go and collect wages from the Civil Services pension pots, no matter how much interest you show toward it.

A lot of Christians are living in either of these: FAITH, PRESUMPTION, FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE).

It’s either you are living by FAITH in the Faith or you are living in PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE) in the Faith. The last two will not guarantee you the BLESSEDNESS of God in the Faith.

There’s therefore the need now for you to consciously and intentionally make effort to see you get yourself established in the Faith to ensure you are fulfilled, living purposefully and meaningfully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Faith in the done did deed of God in Christ Jesus gives you access to being ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

And when you are established in the faith, it becomes easier to be OBEDIENT to the Faith. And be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH, it becomes easier to COMMUNICATE THE FAITH.

And COMMUNICATING THE FAITH makes it gracious to beautify and colour your worlds in Christ Jesus stead.
