CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]; IT’S ABOUT LIVING IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!  

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God . . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him: neither can he KNOW them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. 15 But he that is SPIRITUAL JUDGE [EXAMINE] all things, yet he himself is JUDGED [EXAMINE] of no man. 16 For who hath KNOWN THE MIND of the Lord, that he may INSTRUCT him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. 

When Apostle Paul was writing to the mixed multitude Corinthians Church that’s so gifted, as the scripture does indicates that thy lack not behind in spiritual gifting [1 Corinthians 1:7], and yet they were swimming with various vices; he then sensed of their lack of knowledge, and their inability to understand and comprehend spiritual things that they were endowed and endued with to function in the grace. For they were so gifted, but their inability to decipher the spiritual man from the natural man that has been reborn [redeemed] was concerning to him; and more so, they were filled with the Holy Spirit of revelation, which is for them to articulate the mind of God in wisdom – where wisdom is the application of knowledge. It thus means, being gifted without operating in wisdom to bring it forth into a reality  

In 1 Corinthians 2:1-8, he wrote to them as to us of today of the necessity to live by God’s wisdom if we must excel and be exceptional in living above the conscript of the princes of this world in their unwise way of not able to know the mind of God concerning the cross of human redemption until Christ Jesus by the rugged cross of crucifixion SAVED [REDEEMED] us. And in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, he made known of how the Holy Spirit can reveal to us the mind of God on things about us that no eyes have seen, ears have not heard or neither has entered into the heart of any man knowingly, because of the love for God within us for Him. And Apostle Paul concluded, that by the virtue of our spiritual [reborn] disposition over the natural [unborn] dispositions, we have the MIND of Christ Jesus, to examine and make wise judgement in decisions in the grace over anything. That’s what makes the CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to take hold of us and make us walk in the wisdom of God that transcends and surpasses the wisdom of this world [1 Corinthians 2:1-8]. For Christ Jesus in us, is the wisdom of God and the power of God [1 Corinthians 1:18-24, 30] to enable us do life and live godly with God’s speed in His stead, in this present world. 

And it’s for the consciousness of making the day to day wise judgement as the reborn of God, we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, to always examine [make self judgement of] ourselves if we are still on track with the MIND of Christ Jesus in our day to day decision, as we do life and live in godliness – except we ARE reprobates [hardened, unexamined, unprincipled], but we ARE not reprobates as Believers of God 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? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we ARE NOT REPROBATES” 2 Corinthians 13:5-6. 

And Apostle Paul was able to X-ray and charge the Philippians Church in Philippians 2:1-11, with a taste of what it means and takes to have the MIND of Christ Jesus in a different perspective and context from the Corinthians Church. He spoke to them and to us of the essence to cultivate – the spirit of consolation, of comfort, of fellowship, of mercies, of oneness, of one mind of humility of respect to esteem others and such like. He likened it to the MIND of Christ Jesus toward God while in humanity, that earned Him the exaltation of the Father God wherein for today and always for all eternity, that at the NAME of Jesus, His NAME becomes ANSWER to all human QUEST; and His NAME is above all names that all mankind must BOW and KNEE to at the mentioning of the name, as He earned from the Father God without controversy. What an attribute. What a priceless tag. What a life to live in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]. That’s what the MIND of Christ Jesus can reproduce in us as we walk in His mind context and default in us – for we have the mind of Christ Jesus as a default in the reborn spirit of our salvation. Make it a living consciousness for you and all about you that are reborn – the New Creation as written: 

“If there be therefore ANY CONSOLATION in Christ, if ANY COMFORT of love, if ANY FELLOWSHIP of the Spirit, if ANY BOWELS AND MERCIES, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be LIKEMINDED, having the same love, being of ONE ACCORD, of ONE MIND. 3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in LOWLINESS OF MIND let each ESTEEM other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

I therefore say to you to live in your onward and upward trajectory, in the consciousness of knowing that you have the MIND OF CHRIST JESUS, and you can by the indwelling Holy Spirit judge [examine] rightly all things by the scriptural default in context unlike the natural man [unborn] in Christ Jesus. Stop living in self-defeat as one who can’t make wise judgement on things and always beckoning on others to make private and personal decisions for you while being deceived always as a prey and victim for this agent of darkness. And it’s unfortunate that many have become vulnerable to a fault in many ways to such a crafty, cunning and devouring false brethren that have creeped in to steal, kill and destroy as many innocent ones in the faith as they are cohorts of satan that appears and camouflaged as brethren. 

Today, reboot your mind and reset it to synchronise your spirit being and be transformed by the WORD of God that can refresh and renew your mind to begin a new consciousness of having the Mind of Christ Jesus as a reborn child of God, that no man can deceive any more. This will help you to wisely ARTICULATE and PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God for your well-being as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ACCEPTABLE unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT] the old man, which is CORRUPT according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be RENEWED in the spirit of YOUR MIND; 24 and that ye PUT ON the new man, which after God is CREATED in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUE HOLINESS” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

I pray that you become what God’s WORD says you ARE and can be, without a shadow of turning, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. I want you to say it repeatedly until it begins to take hold of you by all means: “I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” in me.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV. 

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29. 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27. 

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed, is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15. 

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21. 

“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.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT

By Leave a Comment

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT – IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT UNGODLINESS WITH GOD! 

“Be NOT deceived: EVIL communications CORRUPT good manners. 34 Awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SIN NOT; for some have NOT the KNOWLEDGE of God: I speak this to your shame” 1 Corinthians 15:33-34. 

“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to ANY people.“ Proverbs 14:34. 

Dear friend, are you intending to BECOME of God in life and grace? – how are you laying your foundation? – Is your foundation and fundamental being laid and built on God’s Righteousness or on a Sin [Sinful] act in terms. Are you laying your foundation on God’s terms in Christ Jesus or you are about your own religiosity and denominational dogmas expecting God to empower such causes or yours is on traditional laid by-law ordinance and sacrament in the name of God? I want you to know that whatever that contradicts God’s terms in Christ Jesus is an act of self-righteousness and man-made, which contravenes God’s terms, and it’s irrespective whosoever it’s ensuring and assuring such rudiments to you or before you. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4. 

Some people think that SIN is just a MISTAKE or an ERROR in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; it’s worse than any cancerous disease and its presence in ones life can both hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT in the grace that enables one to SOAR and GLIDE IN POSSIBILITIES, and to being an overcomer, being victorious, being a more than conqueror and being triumphant in doing life and living godly in the grace. 

It’s very important that you know for your good and goodness that SIN is not just a MISTAKE or an ERROR – but an act of UNGODLINESS with God; and it is only by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead that exalted life comes into being 

“For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of EATING and DRINKING [what one likes], but of RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit” Romans 14:17 Amplified. 

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

WHAT THEN IS SIN – IT IS SUM IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES AS: 

  • The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God, and it’s naturally bore to all mankind as a result of the fall in ADAM and EVE of Genesis. 
  • An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed WILL of God to mankind. 
  • A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life to live wholly within. 

THE EFFECT OF SIN ARE: 

  • POVERTY 
  • SICKNESS and DISEASE  
  • SPIRITUAL DEATH:  
  • And SPIRITUAL DEATH is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – who is God’s REDEMPTION answer to human failing. 
  • And SPIRITUAL DEATH leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally, results to ETERNAL DEATH when one ends up eventually not being Born of God in Christ Jesus. 

However, by REDEMPTION – FAITH on the finished done work of Christ – has JUSTIFIED us and given us ACCESS to a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Wherein one can have ACCESS and live JUSTIFIED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and its EFFECT shall have NO MORE DOMINION over you as you SOAR & GLIDE in POSSIBILITIES – that is, over SIN. 

“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. 

“. . . 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 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 5:15-21. 

It’s while living under God’s RIGHTEOUS and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, that will enable you have dominion and leverage over SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The knowing and understanding that God LOVES and CARES about you makes a great difference. And when you live under God’s REVERENTIAL FEAR you will detest SIN and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS. For the REVERENTIAL FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom – the application of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“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.) . . . 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. 

“For we KNOW him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:31-32. 

If you must glory, only GLORY in Christ Jesus RIGHTEOUSNESS in you – that’s the CONSCIOUSNESS to live the POSSIBILITIES enabling of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But of him ARE YE in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

“For the WAGES of SIN is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23. 

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

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

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2. 

“For 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.) . . . 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. 

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God . . . 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God . . . 16 For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:3, 5, 16-18. 

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25. 

“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? . . . 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that BEAR WITNESS IN EARTH, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one” 1 John 5:4-5, 6-8.

START-UP YOUR DAWN YEAR LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEARTS MARK

By Leave a Comment

START-UP YOUR DAWN YEAR LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEARTS MARK: BE HUMANE TO GIVE WISELY OF YOUR – TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL AND EFFORT [TALENT/SKILL] – TOWARD A GIVEN CAUSE! 

“For God SO LOVED the WORLD, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

“GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN – RICH OR POOR. KNOW FOR SURE AND CERTAINTY THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, NEITHER DOES THE RICH GIVE – IT’S ONLY THE GIVERS [POOR OR RICH] THAT GIVES” Chukie MORSI Snr. 

Begin the dawn YEAR with a giving note – not every opportunity in life should ALWAYS be of monetary and self-centered gains for self-egotism and applaud. One most important act I want you to know in order to be established with the Scriptural Kingdom cause of God, especially to us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, and among the LIVING, is to be GIVERS. 

GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN RICH OR POOR. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, THE RICH DON’T GIVE – ONLY GIVERS GIVES; just as the scriptural giver WIDOW whose giving was Scripturally ascribed in the Holy writ as the widow mite – which was observed and acknowledged before Christ Jesus while the self-centred and selfish RICH, who was also ascribed and acknowledged as the RICH FOOL, as observed before Christ Jesus as written in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 12:13-21.  

You can note now that only GIVERS as the Widow of the widow’s mite, that GIVES, because they know and understand the implication and dividend of GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in giving before God in Christ Jesus stead – without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. 

“GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall MEN GIVE into your bosom. For with the same MEASURE that ye mete withal it shall be MEASURED to you again” Luke 6:38. 

“I have SHEWED you all things, how that so LABOURING ye OUGHT TO SUPPORT THE WEAK, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE” Acts 20:35. 

The POSSIBILITIES OF GOD in us, is a default lifestyle that requires the spirited and heartedness of a GIVING spirit of our TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE to ANOTHER – for the good of others, in a healthy kingdom CAUSE; and this is an ACT of a good will and not a WISH. Hence PERFORMANCE of the WILLING heart is imperative and fundamental to all who calls God’s name in Christ Jesus stead. 

“And herein I give MY ADVICE: for this is EXPEDIENT for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore PERFORM the DOING of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that WHICH YE HAVE. 12 For if there be first a WILLING mind, it is ACCEPTED according to that a man HATH, and not according to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:10-12. 

Let’s do an analysis as an example to explain this line of context: Show me a nation, community, family and individual who is committed to giving to OTHERS and other cause beyond themselves and boundaries when it comes to their TIME, MONEY (FINANCE) and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion) by an act of LOVE, HOPE and FAITH, I will show you why such has PROSPERED and KEEP PROSPERING in comparison to the one that has been stingy, complaining, arguing, always taking and collecting as if it’s an entitlement while blaming, murmuring and always receiving (collecting, taking) and UNWILLING to GIVE to others or to any CHARITABLE cause in life because they THINK life is about ENTITLEMENT and not about responsibility and accountability in principle. 

For it’s MORE BLESSED to be a GIVER than a COLLECTOR and TAKER, simply for this reason – the RECEIVER will always be LESSER to the GIVER, that’s a spiritual law that works also in the natural. I learnt that first from my parents, long before I knew it’s equally from the Scriptures and it’s of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

There’s nothing wrong in RECEIVING, but only when you are a CHANNEL vessel to others too and not a DEAD end as an entitlement. A RECEIVER who doesn’t GIVE is like the DEAD SEA that RECEIVES water from many sources and NEVER GIVE out or distribute to other waterways channels. It’s called DEAD SEA because it’s salty and no living creatures are sustained in it. Don’t be a DEAD-END being, like the DEAD SEA, but be a LIVING being that is ALIVE and that BLOSSOM, REFRESHES and REJUVENATES because you are a VESSEL and CHANNEL of GRACE to others and not merely a DISPLAY ORNAMENT. 

I challenge you to arise to SOAR and GLIDE in DOMINION by GIVING, which is – Begin small, from where you are to give TIME, FINANCE (MONEY – Cash/Kind) and EFFORT (Physical and or Mental Exertion) to the cause of others, you will definitely notice the hand of God through others prospering you in God’s grace. 

The Living of the POSSIBILITIES default life as touching PROSPERITY is by GIVING and not by FASTING and PRAYERS. Fasting and prayers have their place in the kingdom. You need to give in HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to unlock your prosperity door; and not necessarily to RECEIVE also from who or those you gave. 

Make your dawn YEAR, your year of LIVING the POSSIBILITIES default life as a GIVER – meaning as an individual, family, community or a nation. Make the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE the POSSIBILITIES of God within you in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the LIFE that makes and keeps you to be – ABOVE ONLY. 

Take a step today; you will see the heavenly outpour. For God GAVE His Son Jesus Christ to us all, and by His Son GIVING His life, He got us all back again. Learn of HIM by making the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE – your POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And Jesus sat over against THE TREASURY, and beheld how the people CAST MONEY INTO THE TREASURY: and many that were RICH cast in much. 42 And there came a certain POOR widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this POOR widow hath CAST MORE in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 for all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE; but she of her want did cast in ALL that she had, even all her living” Mark 12:41-44. 

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE of COVETOUSNESS: FOR A MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain RICH MAN brought forth plentifully: 17 and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou FOOL, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, AND IS NOT RICH toward God” Luke 12:13-21.

THIS CHRISTMAS – Do it without DEBT

THIS CHRISTMAS – Do it without DEBT: Don’t be INDEBTED in the name of Commemoration and Celebration! 

“Every man shall GIVE AS HE IS ABLE, ACCORDING to the BLESSING of the Lord thy God which he HATH GIVEN THEE” Deuteronomy 16:17. 

“Every man ACCORDING as he PURPOSETH in his heart, so let him GIVE; not GRUDGINGLY, or of NECESSITY: for God loveth a CHEERFUL GIVER” 2 Corinthians 9:7. 

I know in essence that carrying out the UNWRITTEN DEMANDS we place on ourselves during this Christmas season in respect of GIVING, RECEIVING and SHARING GIFT and or FOOD is enormous; you must know and understand, that though it’s a good intent which I do agree and believe totally with all graciousness and gracefulness as I cherish doing, be it known also, it’s an unhealthy demand to place on yourself to accomplish when you don’t have the resources to act accordingly. We ARE permitted to give WITHIN our capacity in the grace – [Deuteronomy 16:17; 2 Corinthians 9:7]. 

I hereby suggest to you – let your actions be done with what you have as the scriptures enjoined [Deuteronomy 16:17; 2 Corinthians 9:7]; and then act accordingly, when and where you can but not in debt and indebtedness that ends you in the sickening of your well-being. For it’s MORE gracious and graceful when you can do it cheerfully without murmuring, complaining and subjecting yourself to any form of psychological and emotional unrest. 

And worst still, let not giving and sharing be done while you know that your being is spiritually disarmed to handle challenges, especially when you are behind in the repayment of some incurred indebtedness, and you know that when debt letters and or calls and or the visit of debt collectors comes knocking at your door, that the signal of depression, anguish, wrath, bitterness, regrets and such like will trigger along with other side effects.  

I don’t think Christ Jesus would APPROVE all the indebtedness that people indulge themselves in the name of Christmas celebration and commemoration. Nobody is entitled to put you into debt and indebtedness in order to keep such a person happy at your expense; for you are the CUSTODIAN of your peace and happiness and none else – so guard jealously your well-being happiness without compromise to please any before you. It’s best to live within your means – that is, within your FAITH – in the joy, happiness and grace of God in Christ Jesus. For the just in Christ shall live by his/her faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38]. 

Always know in hearts of thoughts that Jesus is risen and Enthroned. He’s no longer: 

* THE BABY IN THE MANGER 

* THE SERVANT ON THE CROSS 

He’s the Lord God on the THRONE and He LIVES, REIGNS and RULES over ALL in ALL. 

Therefore be MERRY, enjoy yourself with what you can and have available to yourself no matter how little, in the peace and grace of God in Christ Jesus stead; and where there’s more overflowing, you can then share in grace, love and peace in good will and joyfully in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS! CELEBRATE AND COMMEMORATE IT WITHOUT DEBT AND INDEBTEDNESS!! THIS CHRISTMAS: SAY NO TO INDEBTEDNESS!!! 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For if there be FIRST a WILLING mind, it is accepted ACCORDING to that a man HATH, and NOT ACCORDING to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:12. 

“Every man shall GIVE AS HE IS ABLE, ACCORDING to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he HATH GIVEN THEE” Deuteronomy 16:17. 

“Every man ACCORDING as he PURPOSETH in his heart, so let him give; not GRUDGINGLY, or of NECESSITY: for God loveth a CHEERFUL GIVER” 2 Corinthians 9:7. 

“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.

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING: LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH! 

It’s a beautiful NEW DAY that the CREATOR God has MADE and not the enemy and cohorts – that’s the reason to REJOICE and be GLAD in it – now and always – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24. 

No matter how much you’ve toiled in the last ELEVENTH MONTH, don’t give up, don’t lose heart and don’t give room to weariness and failure and self-pity decorum. 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 take an extra step and walk on in 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. 

And I proclaim in the name of Jesus, that as Peter and others believe the WORD, took a STEP OF FAITH ON THE WORD by declaring a NEVER-THE-LESS, in spite of their yesterday failures, and they LAUNCH into the DEEP by the WORD for a great CATCH, in same like spirit, may you LAUNCH in faith by the WORD, get your own CATCH in Jesus precious name. Amen. And may your CATCH be in grace on WHATSOEVER it is that’s named, that you desired of God, that your joy might be full in life and in the Lord, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may your abundance of catch enlarge you beyond bounds, in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

And may as you read this scripture of Luke 5:1-11 in full, may you receive the enabling grace to your BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 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)

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

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 forever, 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 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. 

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 dared. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges  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 a 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.
  8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9.  . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more. 

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.

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he CALLED them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and THE SCRIPTURE CANNOT BE BROKEN” John 10:34-35.

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 potentials 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 lead 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 its place in you and to displace the fear phobia. Know for sure that anytime and when FAITH shows up, FEAR is paralysed 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 every way. 

“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 every way 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. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

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.

NOVEMBER – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – AT GOD’S WORD! 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH NOVEMBER – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – AT GOD’S WORD! 

The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in the dawn year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as some others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings: 

  • FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring. 
  • SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong and stronger in the dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousnesss, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 
  • And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, is that Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS IN THE MAKING OF A FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team, irrespective of personal terms involved – meaning, an aim to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes a sense of MATURITY to make such happen with others. That’s what Simon did in Luke 5:6-7 by beckoning on others to come forth to achieve together before their net break. And with such essence, we can apply it in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business, entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like. Psalm 133:1-3. We are better at fulfilling our purpose meaningfully together than as lone individuals. It’s when we work as a team than as a lone individual with a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace to ensure a more meaningful and fulfilment in a given purpose; and that’s the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice knowing that A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM. And in the word of the Scripture: 

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” Ecclesiastes 4:9-11. 

The month NOVEMBER as themed to be Month of “NEVERTHELESS” at God’s WORD, enabling to act differently for a different and intrigue results in the midst of absolute failure. It thus indicates – the essence of exercising FAITH on the WORD of God as written or revealed upon the possible and impossible situation, in order to get the necessary helps and to receive the enabling grace and wisdom to turn our scarce and scarcity to abundance, our failure to success, our mess to message, our begging to giving, our toil and toiling to productive result and such like. And FAITH on the WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is the stand to take in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in this month NOVEMBER.  

“. . . 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 . . .” Luke 5:1-11. 

You may have struggled through in life and especially this year to see that the last ten months just ending with October hasn’t been FRUITFUL as expected with all inputs that you’ve put in; and you are at the present moment at the verge of packing up the marriage, business, career, family, leadership, ministerial calling, relationship of all kind, self-worth and such like. I am here as God’s messenger and ambassador by His grace in Christ Jesus stead, to announce to you that your TOILING is over as you take a step of FAITH upon God’s WORD in spite of all the happenings around you today, for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory as you declare – NEVERTHELESS IN MY TOILING THUS FAR, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET AT GOD’S WORD, FOR HIS CATCH. 

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER theme, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “NEVERTHELESS” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. I do PRAY that in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God will grant you an abundant entrance of grace that will TURN AROUND ALL MESS INTO A MESSAGE. ALL TOILING INTO FRUITFULNESS AND MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT in His stead in Christ Jesus. Amen. May our God’s blessed Spirit of promise, give you the needed guidance, as you let Him lead you to your place of providence and to ensure that you experience BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING AND THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS wherein when all is done and settled, you will be called the trees of righteousness that God might be GLORIFIED and MAGNIFIED in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. Isaiah 61:1-3. 

And as our God turn around the mess to a message of the four hundred men of Captain David that were in DEBT, in DISTRESS and are HOMELESS and DISCOUNTED to become the mighty men of David, so shall your turn around be and more, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Samuel 22:1-5; 2 Samuel 23. 

And as you read and meditate upon the scriptural READING THOUGHTS in context, accordingly, may you experience God’s INSPIRING, REVEALING, and EMPOWERING enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead in the now and always until He returns. Amen. It’s my gracious wish for you that God turns every MESS about you into a MESSAGE for all, lifelong, as per these SCRIPTURAL injunctions: 

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE) in every good work to do his will, WORKING in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21 Emphasis Mine. 

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25. 

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. 

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily TURN AROUND OF EVERY MESS INTO MESSAGE by God’s divine provisions in His BLESSEDNESS, through this month of NOVEMBER. And may as you take every single act of FAITH that God wants you to make by His WORD as Simeon did to catch such many great multitude of fishes to meet the answer to his quest, may your response be NEVERTHELESS AT HIS WORD, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET FOR THE CATCH in Christ Jesus precious name. Amen. 

Be BLESSED in Month NOVEMBER in an onward and upward trajectory, as our God turns every MESS up to a gracious and graceful MESSAGE, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And it came to pass, that, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the FISHERMEN were gone out of them and were WASHING THEIR NETS. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and PRAYED him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 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 in closed 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: 10 and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, THEY FORSOOK ALL and FOLLOWED him” Luke 5:1-11. 

“David therefore departed thence and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS DISCONTENTED, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a CAPTAIN over them: and there were with him about FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth” 1 Samuel 22:1-5. 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath ANOINTED me to PREACH good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to BIND UP the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM LIBERTY to the captives, and the OPENING OF THE PRISON to them that are bound; 2 to PROCLAIM the acceptable year of the Lord, and the DAY OF VENGEANCE of our God; to COMFORT all that mourn; 3 to APPOINT unto them that MOURN in Zion, to GIVE unto them BEAUTY for ASHES, the OIL OF JOY for mourning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be CALLED trees of righteousness, the PLANTING of the Lord, that he might be GLORIFIED” Isaiah 61:1-3 (Luke 4:16-22). 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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. 

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

“These be THE WORDS which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 (There are ELEVEN DAYS’ JOURNEY from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, IN THE ELEVENTH MONTH, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; 4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 on this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 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 1:1-8.

MONTH OCTOBER: MONTH TO – BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH”

By Leave a Comment

MONTH OCTOBER: MONTH TO – BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH” IN THE FAITH! 

The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days. October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of wealth, prosperity, peace and fertility. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops. In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of autumn and is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and autumn in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS. 

And for us in THE FAITH of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, whose lives in the timeless timeline for the timed timeline, it’s our month to BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR OUR WORLDS IN FAITH” IN THE FAITH wherein we STAND in GRACE. This is to ensure our fulfilling of purpose meaningfully in order to access and receive Father God BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For in Him we live and move as His offspring in grace. Acts 17:24-28. 

“. . . 28 for in HIM we LIVE, and MOVE, and have OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28 

And now, it’s our Time and Month to use our PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily in LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:1-4. It’s your creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity to ensure that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH in God by Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH – otherwise it will be religion, dogmas and further bondages – (Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14) 

The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which gives us rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. Not only are we REDEEMED from these effects, but we are also ushered access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8). 

The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead has TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED, TRANSFERRED) and POSITIONED us into His enabling grace from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us firstly His in this wise: 

“Ye also, as LIVELY STONES, ARE BUILT UP a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . . 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an Holy nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, BUT ARE NOW THE PEOPLE OF GOD: which had not obtained mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10. 

Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour with God and Favour with Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today. For as He is, so are we today in this world as in the Holy Writ. (1 John 4:17-18; John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27); (Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). 

God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15). 

Why LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ: God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21). 

With REPENTANCE towards God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good and goodness, BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in God (Acts 20:20-21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22). 

God has bestowed in you THE MEASURE of FAITH not A MEASURE of FAITH to enable you have your worlds (health, relationship, family, finance, career, business and such likes) beautify and coloured. This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).  

Therefore, make month OCTOBER to be your New Dawn to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR your WORLDS in FAITH, in the FAITH – to make all things for good happen for now in LIFE and GODLINESS. 

THE CHOICE IS YOURS TO BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS – (FAMILY, FINANCE, HEALTH, CAREER, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS AND SUCH LIKE) – BY FAITH IN THE GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS. Romans 5:1-2. Philemon 1:4-6.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

THERE IS THE NEED TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME 

By Leave a Comment

THERE IS THE NEED TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME: AND TO WHOM ON WHAT YOU DO BELIEVE – THAT MAKES YOU BECOME! 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen . . . 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. 

FAITH is ACTING correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Indicating that BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION while FAITH is the DELIVERY of the conceived WORD. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the CURRENCY of exchange and transactions in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus, on which stead we stand in life and grace. That’s why, your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world, is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient. Philemon 1:6. And the effective and efficient FAITH is based on and by THE WORD OF GOD and nothing more or less. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5. 

WHAT you then BELIEVE determines your functionality in the Kingdom. Which means you are a product of your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world. Do you BELIEVE in a mere man, religion and the religious – dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy and rudiments – and tradition of this world more to God’s WORD? Would you rather BELIEVE in God’s authoritative, undiluted and unadulterated WORD than to a mere man in this world? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN BY YOUR BELIEVE. Hence blame no one and take responsibility and accountability for what you’ve BECOME all these while – your BELIEVE have defined either your FAITH – or otherwise FATE. 

I hereby appeal to you, to look inwards and DARE to BELIEVE now and again in the WORD with unhinged FAITH in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, to BECOME of Him. 

Jesus said in Matthew 9:27-30 to two men seeking His help, what do you BELIEVE? Simplified as – Do you BELIEVE that I can do your request? By their answer of – Yes, Lord! Meaning I BELIEVE, He replied to them that they should BECOME What they BELIEVE. What they BELIEVE is found in WHOM (on the WORD of the Lord) they BELIEVE. They RECEIVED their healings as they ACT on their BELIEVE on WHOM (the WORD of the Lord) they BELIEVE. 

FAITH on the BELIEVE WORD, is the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE and RECEIVE the Heavenly outpour – and it’s expedient that you check your BELIEVE before you take any step in the Kingdom if you want the Heavens to be with you in it (Hebrews 11:1-3, 6, Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 14:23; Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). 

DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN – FOR ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE – AND ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD UNTO US THAT BELIEVE. AMEN.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30 (Emphasis Mine).
