HAVE FAITH IN GOD

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places.

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

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

“So then FAITH COMES BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you listen to shape up your life every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD by social and other media platforms; and or the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or self make-believe or made-believe, and or the circumstances of the environment.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not SENTIMENTS that appeals to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). Locate one today.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the “THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD KICKS INTO YOUR BEING.

A NO HEARING means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or counterfeited or polluted and such likes tender outside THE WORD of God that builds up FAITH.

Do yourself a favour and examine what you are feeding your being if its God’s WORD or any of these: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, creeds, byelaws, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, emotional sentimental appeals and such likes.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then FAITH cometh BY HEARING, AND HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A NO WORD, MEANS A NO FAITH – AND A NO PLEASING OF GOD!

“. . . 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. 3 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 12:1-3.

We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facet of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

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 be 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. Which then indicates that a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, and a NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of a NO FAITH is emptiness, noise making, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 Amplified.

Therefore, 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 every way.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.

I plead to you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“. . . 22 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 11:12-14, 22-24.

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS

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

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

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

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

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” Romans 5:1-5.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 4-6.

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope as it’s written: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written:  “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

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

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: ENABLED BY FAITH TO RELIEVE US FROM FEAR PHOBIAS!
 
“That is why I REMIND you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special ENDOWMENT] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 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 1:6-7.
 
There’s a uniqueness about your life that you need to harness to create the atmosphere you love to see and enjoy and to share with all about you, but it’s not coming into reality because the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS have taken over you to rule and reign over the FAITH that empowers you to succeed and prosper in God in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Know full well and for sure, that the BLESSEDNESS of God in you, it’s beautiful, adorable, precious, priceless, memorable, gracious and such like in Christ Jesus. Amen. You can only enhance and enact it’s presence by FAITH and not by FEAR. You can HARNESS its presence to enable you innovate, create, initiate and explore the fullness of God in you by FAITH and not by FEAR. Hence, we are enjoined by the scripture to do life and godly living through walking by FAITH and not walking by SIGHT – senses (by what we – see, smell, taste, touch/feel and hear). For in the realm of sight (senses), there the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS operates and manifest – thereby administering the characteristics and its effects.
 
“For we WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]” 2 Corinthians 5:7 Amplified.
 
And by FAITH we live in triumph and victory over the world sense of governance in doing life and godly living in our dealing with matters on EARTH. FAITH is the heavenly kingdom de facto currency to trade in exchange of the heavenly to bring about the earthly affairs into reality. And the BLESSEDNESS of God, that is the potent enabling, only in manifestations and operations by faith as it’s 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.
 
The great enemy of FAITH is FEAR. Fear is the enemy and cohorts policing officer to ridicule, torment, embarrass, frighten, jeopardise, limit and such like, on any person set goals – purpose and plan. Fear intimidates, makes timidity, enslaves boldness and robs one of enhancing the GOOD and GOODNESS within that God in Christ Jesus has embedded in us as written:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
Young Timothy was gifted and ENDOWED with The BLESSEDNESS of God, but FEAR of the unknown and in taking a bold step, stopped him and made him inactive, timid and non-functional in the GRACE upon and within him. It took Apostle Paul to speak into him with reminder, awaken him and bring him to the reality of who he’s and what God has ENDOWED him. Reminding him to know, that what God has ENDOWED him with, he should not allow the spirit of FEAR to grip him and rob him of it. Thus, indicating that FEAR is a spirit, meaning has a characteristic that must be overcome with by FAITH characteristics as it’s written:
 
“That is why I REMIND you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special ENDOWMENT] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 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 1:6-7.
 
And by working in perfect – wholesome, complete and mature genuine LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, in respect to God’s BLESSEDNESS in context, that’s what cast out – cast off, put off and sentence FEAR out of the vicinity. Simply because FAITH works by LOVE. The LOVE that operating and administering in the REDEMPTION rights and privileges of – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD; this LOVE that works by FAITH, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to any and irrespective, in Christ Jesus.
 
“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.
 
“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.
 
“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (hypocrisy). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” Romans 12:9.
 
And there are over 365 Scriptures of “FEAR NOT” available to and for us in the holy writ, to enable us not to allow FEAR to rob us of living in TRIUMPH and VICTORY, being an OVERCOMER and a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. For Christ Jesus took our nature in humanity, thereby used the victory to help us subdued fear and the architect of fear – Satan and his cohorts; and by that we might and can serve God today, in holiness and righteousness without FEAR, all the days of our life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, wake up from your slumbering state and the intimidating SPIRIT OF FEAR PHOBIAS to the empowering by FAITH, that you may be able to innovate, create, initiate and explore that which God has given us and set out in His plan, purpose and pursuit for you. And you can now arise to attend to the things that overtime would have made you have a meaningless and fulfilling life and godly living, in every way, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
ACT ON FAITH TODAY AND NOT TOMORROW – THIS WILL ENHANCE THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD IN YOU – AND YOU WILL BE RELIEVED OF THE FEAR PHOBIAS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

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

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!
 
“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.
 
It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in ECONOMIC, WAR, POLITICAL and PANDEMIC state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job loses and bereavement of love ones and acquittance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do UNDERSTAND and the changes in times to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.
 
“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
 
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.
 
And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and the to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.
 
“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.
 
It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within [Hebrews 11:1-3]. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – ([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.
 
My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace, supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.
 
Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled and mean people. [Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29].
 
Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus.
 
However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertains to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons:
** VIRTUE
** KNOWLEDGE
** TEMPERANCE
** PATIENCE
** GODLINESS
** BROTHERLY KINDNESS
** CHARITY (LOVE)
These add-ons ingredients of CHARACTER, makes you abound in your CHARISMATIC grace, and more so, as you stay DILIGENT in FAITH. It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited: “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS”
I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway of living and doing life, as you ADD TO YOUR FAITH THESE NECESSARY ADD-ONS INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER, TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
