BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE: FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!
 
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
 
Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge and behold you to always stand EMBOLDENED in the grace; and to TAKE and MAKE – YOUR STAND KNOWN OF YOUR BELIEVE IN THE FAITH – in the REDEMPTION that our God have given us in Christ Jesus stead. There’s so much out there of fear phobia, inferiority complex, intimidation, self or cohorts accusation of your past, that’s hunting and hurting your present; or and self defeat of the assumptions about you and such like; and as to the reality and tangibility of who you are and worth now in Christ Jesus; or probably because of your past or current challenges and circumstances. Am here to inform you for your justification that results your transformation in grace, and of the need to raise your heads up, shoulders high and put on your emboldened redemption in the faith with high heels of confidence of your JUSTIFIED state in Christ Jesus; this is to ensure and assure you God’s enabling, in order for you to be in charge and control and the custodian of your own God’s good and goodness in Redemption. Amen.
 
“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY OR COWARDICE OR FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and PERSONAL discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7/AMP.
 
“Herein is our love made PERFECT [COMPLETE], that we may have BOLDNESS [CONFIDENCE] in the day of JUDGMENT [JUSTICE, CHALLENGES]: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT [COMPLETE] love casteth out FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT [COMPLETE ] in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.
 
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.
 
A questioning came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ takes a STAND UP to speak GRACIOUS WORDS that was contrary in His days and in the ways of speaking emboldened of God’s personalised and personified purpose in one’s life [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. And we can see same too and differently in our day to day from many in denominationised and sectarianism settings as in some religious sayings as – “return to sender”, “fire and thunder”, “holy ghost fire” and such like which indicates pure ignorance and condescending out of the redemption Scriptural TRUTH God had offered us in Christ Jesus stead, to sing and speak forth in the new songs of testifying to our faith only of Christ Jesus and not to religious bigotry [Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 19:10; Philemon 1:6; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39]. We must take a robustness in our STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, instead of the onward and upward trajectory of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS [RIGHT STANDING, BLAMELESS]. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.
 
“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22.
 
It’s time to be emboldened of your FAITH STAND in Christ, and save yourself from every form of QUESTIONING on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and it’s EFFECT in terms to these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP on your FAITH in GRACE against the ENEMY and COHORTS in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen.
 
Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ did when He stood in the Temple to declare of His personified purpose with God [Luke 4:1-22] and in many other instances of confrontations by the religious and political elites of His days in humanity. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN [Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13]. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS in their various acts of manifesting and revealing [as wolves in sheep clothing’s, and or like a roaring lion and or as an angel of light] to challenge your faith stand in Christ Jesus by saying – IT’S WRITTEN too as Jesus Christ did. Amen. [1 Peter 5:8-12; Mathew 7:15; 2 Corinthians 11:14].
 
Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace that no wealth and riches of any can buy [Psalms 49:6-10].
 
Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus by Father God is a DID, a DONE and a DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your REDEMPTION stand in grace, wherein you are BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.
 
DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE AND FAITH – NO MATTER WHAT MAY. For in Christ Jesus you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you – ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – as BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. Amen.
 
Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD

THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD: ENABLES GLOWING, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE . . . And SHINING In GLORY!
 
“THY WORD is a lamp unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path. . . 130 THE ENTRANCE OF THY WORDS GIVETH LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119:105, 130.
 
Light is and will always be superior to darkness at any point of showing. Meaning it is by the amount of light you let into your life that outshines the darkness about you. And this light is as a result of The WORD of the Lord God you’ve allowed to flood into your being. For more WORD gives to more LIGHT that outshine darkness at any level. And Jesus is THE WORD – and His fulness in you will give the enabling to keep you GLOWING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Him. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14.
 
It’s written in the Holy Writ that “The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS give LIGHT; it gives UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” (Psalms 119:130). If The WORD does not have an entrance into you, surely there would be darkness or works of darkness about you to deal with. You can’t live beyond the amount of the LIGHT you have of God – Psalms 119:105; for the just shall live by his faith in the light of The Word – Habakkuk 2:4. And the Word shines in darkness and darkness cannot outshine, overcome and comprehend it – John 1:1-5.
 
Wisdom as a result of the knowledge and understanding of The Word, makes a man’s face to shine and the boldness of his face shall be changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of The Lord – Ecclesiastes 8:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18; and this breathed inspiration, revelation and empowerment of The Spirit enables us to do life with understanding and without sweat and stress – Job 32:8; Job 33:4.
 
Today! Give The Word of God an entrance by inclining to His sayings, you will break-forth into wholeness and your path shall shine more brighter and brighter until the dawn of a new you in a perfect day with God – Proverbs 4:18, 20-22. The WORD Makes WHOLE and gives the enabling to our glowing and refreshing in God’s graciousnesss and gracefulness.
 
For in God, light will always illuminates out of darkness no matter the strength of that darkness. God does not shine light UPON darkness but instead allow light to outshine OUT of darkness. In that which you considered or have considered to be full of darkness, God will by the WORD, cause darkness to shine out of it. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Genesis 1: 1-5.
 
Therefore, don’t be afraid of the dark or darkness when you are flooded with the WORD in your INNER being. For the beauty, glory, glowing and refreshing of the light within you is known in the darkest of the darkness about you. The DARKER the DARKNESS, the BRIGHTER the LIGHT by the WORD.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
MEDITATE AND BE BLESSED.

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURTS AND YOUR PAST – WHEN YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED!

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the JOY OF RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His EXCELLENCE and POWER]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more?  There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again. And when you are – BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS there’s NO MORE FISHING EXPEDITION ON YOUR PAST AND YOUR HURTS, because FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS is MADE POSSIBLE in the JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – in CHRIST JESUS on your behalf – that’s the gracious and BLESSEDNESS our REDEMPTION.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, governments and governances are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and more importantly, to moved FORWARD from the past and hurts, and moved in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace and BLESSEDNESS to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.

“We know that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all, in order to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARD, INWARD and ONWARD day to day life of grace.

And to JUSTIFY or BEING JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS, is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done because Jesus made Himself the sin for our redemption [2 Corinthians 5:21]. For this is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE work of grace that Jesus Christ DID in our REDEMPTION, to set us FREE without accusations, ensuring and assuring that there’s NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE and our PAST attached, thereby making us a NEW CREATION [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]; God by justification did all the enumerated in Christ Jesus, in order to ERASE our PAST, as He ensure and assure that our INIQUITIES has been BURIED in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – and NO MORE THE FISHING of the PAST to HURT and HUNT your TODAY and TOMORROW in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA [OF FORGETFULNESS]” Micah 7:18-19/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I make bold to say you and to all, that to the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has no PAST because we’ve BEING JUSTIFIED BY IN CHRIST JESUS. And when you act in same like spirit TOWARD others, you will LIVE FREE from and of – BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it will hunt and hurt you as a cancerous disease, especially on you the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET but go about nursing grudges in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation as you do life and do godly in Christ Jesus.

IT’S EXPENSIVE TO CARRY RESENTMENT AND WRATH – IT’S LIKE TAKING PARACETAMOL MEDICINES FOR ANOTHER PERSON HEADACHES – THEREFORE, NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION – THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:1-2, 5-11.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

“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 5:17-21.

“If thine ENEMY BE HUNGRY, GIVE HIM BREAD to eat; and if he BE THIRSTY, GIVE HIM WATER to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall REWARD thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Therefore if thine ENEMY HUNGER, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:20-21.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT (CHALLENGE): BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE) LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

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

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

THE GOSPEL MADE ME – AND MADE THE DIFFERENCE IN ME: I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL!
 
“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT of darkness, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to give the light of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ . . .13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God” 2 Corinthians 4:6, 13-15.
 
“. . . 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us ABLE ministers of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:1-6.
 
“The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 THE LINES ARE FALLEN UNTO ME IN PLEASANT PLACES; YEA, I HAVE A GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will BLESS the Lord, who hath GIVEN me counsel: my REINS also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have SET the Lord always before me: because he is at my RIGHT HAND, I shall not be moved” Psalms 16:5-8.
 
“I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 FOR IN THE GOSPEL THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IS REVEALED, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith.” Romans 1:16-1/AMP.
 
“Yea, so have I STRIVED TO PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION: IT’S OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK!
 
“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.
 
Why do people get so worried that in the existence and presence of the Church, the embassy and ambassador of God for human and the world redemption, that the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness, and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion and unstable governments and governance. The answer it’s simply because, for all the unimaginable problems in the world – all that the world do hear and see is today is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sectarianism, sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Unlike the early Church Disciple’s and Apostle’s of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED the GOSPEL and were acclaimed as people who do turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed and were set to die for the cause and course.
 
“. . . 6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7
“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marvelled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13.
 
For a no GOSPEL world in any phase and dispensation, will indicate all the worries of today and such like that we see. For only by the GOSPEL that the world can experience the EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages, in order to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (righteous stand) for complete liberation of all. Romans 5:1-2; Acts 20:20-21.
 
The consummation of God’s elect for man’s salvation with religion, denomination and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate any, no matter how much investment and resources, instead it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them to be devoted in commitment and dedication to such-like sectarianism of believe as we see across the board.
 
Religiously denominationised and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondages and dogmas as long it’s there. That’s why Apostle Paul warns the Galatians Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL”.
 
“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.
 
For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. [Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29].
 
The Gospel has been before the law, the psalms and the prophet; and it answered those who are outbound and out-bent by the law, Psalms and prophet’s as basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ rather than the gospel which is Christ and express in the WORD, of which He’s the WORD (John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7). God PREACHED the GOSPEL to Father Abraham through whom the whole nation and families shall be BLESSED on the earth, long before the law, the psalms and the prophets and others came to being. Meaning also, long before religion, denomination and doctrine, was crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the HEATHEN through faith, PREACHED BEFORE THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith are BLESSED with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9 [2 Corinthians 5:17-21].
 
“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Corinthians 1:18-24].
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.
 
“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.
 
“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.
 
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.
 
“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.
 
“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.
 
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.
 
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.
 
“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.
 
“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN

THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN: WORKING INSIDE OUT!

“For we [who ARE born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually TRANSFORMED, RENEWED, SET APART for His PURPOSE and] ARE the TRUE CIRCUMCISION, who WORSHIP IN the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult IN Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we HAVE or who we ARE] IN the flesh” Philippians 3:3/AMP.

It is the SYNERGY that’s within that ENERGISES and makes all the DIFFERENCE, and it’s all about these:

* The GRACE Within,

* The FAITH Within,

* The WORD Within,

* The POWER Within.

FOR WE:

* Are Saved and grown by GRACE

* Are to Live and triumph by FAITH

* Are Sustained and maintained by the WORD and

* Are Empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT – to enable us to thrive, fulfill purpose meaningfully, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For we ARE the New creation JEW that’s of the heart [the spirit] and INWARDLY ARE – Spirited, Hearted, Reborn, Recreated, Circumcised, Called, Justified, Predestined, Foreknown, Chosen, Accepted, Blessed, Made, Qualified, Glorified, Purposed, Sanctified, Renewed, Transformed, Delivered, Translated, Forgiven and more . . . in Christ Jesus.

“For he is not a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD in the flesh: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God”  Romans 2:28-29.

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS work together for good to those who LOVE God, to those who are the CALLED according to His PURPOSE. 29 For whom He FOREKNEW, He also PREDESTINED to be CONFORMED to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, these He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30/NKJV.

Therefore, be ENERGISED and let it be that THE SYNERGY IS WITHIN – WORKING INSIDE OUT. For the working within is about what God in Christ Jesus has DONE IN you by His grace, through faith in His word by the Holy Spirit.

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

It’s knowing and living through what’s IN you, that makes what it’s done FOR you by God in Christ Jesus meaningful and purposeful. What’s done IN you, that’s what you can actualised to become your reality in order to ENSURE what’s done FOR you in the GRACE, through FAITH by the WORD in the POWER of the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad IN our HEARTS [INNERMOST BEING, SPIRIT-BEING] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died FOR us” Romans 5:5, 8.

It’s my earnest of prayers that what is done IN you that’s within you, will becomes your reality in doing life and living godly by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Be Blessed.

“Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath MADE us, and not we ourselves; we ARE his people, and the sheep of his pasture” Psalms 100:2-3.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father IN spirit and IN truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST worship him IN spirit and IN truth” John 4:19-24.

THE LOVING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE LOVING OF GOD: WILL CAUSE ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD AND PERSONAL REVELATION!

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him.  10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – good [good times] or bad [challenging and difficult times] – to work together for your good, then start loving God in spirit [in hearts hearts] and in truth [in His Word]. That’s the earnest way to offer to God worship that’s worthily and services that’s acceptably in the grace.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit [hearts] and in truth [the word]” John 4:19-24/Emphasis Mine.

Loving God should be a deliberate and intentional conscious act from your hearts [human spirit] and not in your heads; and you need to know full well and with the understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared abundantly in human spirit [heart] by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5, 8. And the acknowledgement of the above stated knowing and understanding, will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him. That’s how God can cause you to live for purpose and reveal the you to you, for a meaningful and purposeful living and loving in the grace. For the Spirit of God gives man the breath of life and the understanding of life – Zoe, the eternal [eternity] being of man toward God in humanity.

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan devices, X-ray and such like more, may be useful in human endeavours, yet you can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly [bodily] though it dwells in your body. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God. For the man in the human, is a spirit being [eternal], it has a soul [consciousness of the will and intuition and intellect] and lives in the body [flesh]. And only by God’s word in human spirit, can the tripartite [triune] being can be detected separately and together at the same time].

“The spirit of man is the candle [lamp] of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly [being]” Proverbs 20:27/Emphasis mine.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick [alive], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13/Emphasis mine..

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you. It’s by the faith that pleases God working through love, is the hallmark way to live beyond walls by God in spirit and truth. And the faith that overcomes and brings about victory and triumph in the grace becomes one’s reality’s in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by [through] love” Galatians 5:6/Emphasis mine.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“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.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Beloved reader, I encourage you in the now and today, to start Loving God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE.  29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED .” Romans 8:28-30.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

HAVING FAITH IN GOD

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  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.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER

By Leave a Comment

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON – EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS? Then be HAPPY, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it GROW, and don’t try to SQUIRM OUT of your problems. For when your PATIENCE is finally in FULL BLOOM, then you will be READY for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4/Living Bible [TLB].

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand of  such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER. For being steadfastly and diligence and patience, in the grace through faith, so will God cause to have access to our promise inheritance in Him.

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

There’s the need to know full well and be assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is to say, there’s an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you ARE assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“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.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT.

I pray that our good and faithful, true and sure God, will keep you in grace and strengthen you courageously and keep you keeping on in faith, in Christ Jesus stead – until your BLESSEDNESS in Him is actualised meaningfully and purposefully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified).

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-3. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 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. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; (for He is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 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 10:23, 35-39.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: NO WORD, NO FAITH – NO PLEASING OF GOD!

Firstly, FAITH is not BELIEVE. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE.

It thus means if FAITH can COME or activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. It thus means NO WORD, NO FAITH, NO PLEASING OF GOD – otherwise emptiness and noise making and God at distance.

Do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE, to all His PROMISES.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“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.

“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.

“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” Mark 11:22-24.
