THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!
 
Am yet to find one Believer in Christ who who does not want to actualise and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and REJOICE IN HOPE of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
 
In ESSENCE, actualising our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).
And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.
 
I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed.
 
Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING:
** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.
** That knowlege will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29
** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.
** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.
** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.
** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.
** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.
** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.
** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.
** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.
** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.
** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.
** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.
** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.
** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.
** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.
** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.
** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.
 
These writ above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’, ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17.
 
“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In Thee Shall All Nations Be Blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL ABRAHAM . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither BOND NOR FREE, there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
 
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and i will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IT’S EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE!
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God.
 
It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIMED to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirmed to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:
“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.
 
The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below.
 
“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21.
 
Therefore, know today that your effectual communication of the faith – it’s embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23.
 
“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16.
 
“That if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath RAISED him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:9-13.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

BELIEVE – HAVE FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE – 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 facets 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.
 
“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.
 
“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 4:18-23.
 
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 and HEARING 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, fooolishness, stupidity, ignorance, and God being 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.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your NAME for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your NAME !” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
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 everyway.
 
“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.
 
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.
 
“. . . 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.
 
“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. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!
 
“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9.
 
We ARE to being BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to being Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption.
 
“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.
 
The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demon’s today when they break away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centred, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts demon’s the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21; Revelation 12:3-4].
 
And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.
 
“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 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 10:26-3.
 
There are many today, who are out there that are satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about for their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens.
 
And if these sets of satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociates themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to can make them to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects – because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].
 
“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 3:16-18.
 
Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].
 
“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.
 
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.
 
Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.
 
Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousnesss and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].
 
Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

“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 3:16-18.

“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.
 
“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.
 
“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

“A GLORIOUS high throne from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY” Jeremiah 17:12.
 
The sky is such big that two birds can hardly collide or worried of space. Hence there’s no room for jealousy or limitation. You are LIMITED when you STAY FOCUS in the CROWDED PLACE, that is, on the ground where there’s no VISION, DILIGENCE and PURPOSE. Look up and behold your great place of salvation where all things are possible.
 
“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who LOVE God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified.
 
“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED [chosen, appointed beforehand] according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/Amplified.
 
When you set your being on the glorious, gracious and graceful place wherein Christ had made you free, there would be no room for unwelcome entanglement, limitation, envy, hypocrisy and jealousy and such like.
 
You are REDEEMED in GRACE – positioned and conditioned to SUCCEED In LIFE and GODLY Living by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, rise up, dress up on your NEW you in God by Christ Jesus – doing life and living godly, in the fulness of what you are born of God to become meaningfully in purpose and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
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” Romans 5:1-2.
 
“Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY [FREEDOM] wherewith Christ hath MADE us free, and be not ENTANGLED again with the yoke of BONDAGE [Limitations]” Galatians 5:1/Emphasis Mine.
 
“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God” Ephesians 2:6-8.
 
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he RAISED him from the dead, and SET him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT – AND BY THE WORD!
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall NOT FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED [PUT TO DEATH] the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:
 
“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.
 
And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go of our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the path of PLEASING of God.
 
“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.
 
Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, the question and examination for us is to ask and take on is if the efforts we are exerting to accomplish anything whatever are of – the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and the PERFECT WILL of God as enjoined in the scripture of Romans 12:1-2? And we mustn’t forget that God’s WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. And while God must have EXALTED and LIFTED UP His WORD and His NAME, He has however MAGNIFIED His WORD ABOVE His NAME in order to ensure, assure and authenticate the immutability of His person and character in His grace, in the faith for us, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
“Wherein God, WILLING more abundantly to SHEW unto the HEIRS of promise the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel, CONFIRMED it by an oath: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS [HIS WORD AND HIS NAME], in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which ENTERETH into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, MADE an HIGH PRIEST for EVER after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:17-20.
 
And with the context of His IMMUTABILITY, we can then ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God in the context of Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 12:1-2.
 
Therefore, what then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask. HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW but not limited:
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:
 
Spend your most precious time on what God IS and has BECOME to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God, while Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS applause. [Philemon 1:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Philemon 1:6].
The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on the enemy and cohorts presence irrespective, if you think you have one in labelled; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God’s presence as primarily as in His WORD on any context [Matthew 6:33; Psalms 16:11]. And God in His own terms, will makes the enemy and cohorts to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you [Proverbs 16:7].
 
DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? DON’T YOU WANT GOD TO BE IN CHARGE TO FIGHT YOUR FAITH OF FAITH INSTEAD OF YOU? [1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Joshua 5:13-15].
 
As for me, because I Do LOVE and have faith in trust of God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS, I won’t burn my time on the enemy and cohorts; instead, I burn my all PLEASING God in spirit and in truth. That’s the realm of living in an effortless position, and to keep one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of diverse challenges and obstacles in cause of living under the heavens in the earth.
 
Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.
 
This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matter that confronts me; and that’s what I want you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobia when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:
 
“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.
 
To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.
 
Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:
1. Hearing (Hear)
2. Seeing (See)
3. Smelling (Smell)
4. Tasting (Taste)
5. Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)
 
People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.
 
They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.
 
And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:
 
EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;
 
ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost of his birthright to of his brother – JACOB;
 
King SAUL of losing his throne towards harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;
 
Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;
 
King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE who touched the ARK to help carry it against divine process;
 
Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.
 
HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:
 
The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.
 
The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.
 
Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.
Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.
 
Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!
 
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.
 
You need to BUILD up your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance the quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the sphere of God’s WORD. It’s very important that you do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION – leading to misconceptions; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS – leading to prejudice and dissimulation; and or ACT on SUSPICION – leading to misinformation and disinformation; and such like, which is a mere state of RELIGION – leading to sectarianism and religious blindfold. Know full well that God intent daily it’s about you having LIFE in the fulness, in His GRACE and not RELIGION and religious dogmas and blindfold. For the cause of experiencing the good and goodness of God is the reason your faith should be built on the essence of the ‘Word of Faith’ in God – where LIFE in the GRACE, is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
“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.
 
You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVALS for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you, or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or you can have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being and live with the side effects it brings.
 
“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing [applying] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.
 
“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.
 
FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.
Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“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.
 
“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.
 
“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.
 
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.
 
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.
 
“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 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).
 
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS: BE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF FAITH AGAINST FEAR PHOBIAS!
 
“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of timidity [of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear], but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of CALM and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:6-7/AMP [Classic Edition].
 
Today’s food for thought – it’s for your daily FREEDOM over fear phobias; it’s for you build faith against the spirit of fear – and to build faith is to hear and feed on the WORD – which is the sayings of God. For it’s TIME to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD – in order To build the STEADFAST FAITH that will enables you to RESIST – put to flight – the enemy and cohorts in their acts of EVIL and WICKEDNESS through FEAR; and to get the needed leverage to TRIUMPH over the EFFECT of FEAR by the FAITH in the WORD.
 
“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.
 
Therefore, give yourself to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD until it gets HOLD OF YOU and gives you the enabling to GET RID of that FEAR PHOBIAS that have held you in bondage. It’s your FREEDOM DAY, for God made the day, that you might REJOICE, be GLAD and be FREE from EVERY EVIL and WICKEDNESS in such a times as this, in our World. Psalms 118:25; Galatians 1:3-5; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:17-20; Luke 1:68-75.
 
When you set your heart – your human spirit-being to LOVE the WORD of God and to accordingly FEED your spirit-being healthily, you are by such BUILDING up the WORD of FAITH to OVERCOME the world FEAR BONDAGES. When you are FEEDING your spirit-being by the WORD – the SAYINGS of God and not by TRASH and GARBAGE, you knowingly and unknowingly ACTIVE the perfect LOVE that cast out FEAR. Perfect LOVE that CAST out the spirit of FEAR is of the consequence of the WORD of God that one loves. And FAITH WORKS by LOVE. 1 John 5:3-5, 1 John 4:17-18; Galatians 5:6; John 8:31-32; Proverbs 4:20-23.
 
Therefore, be emboldened by FEEDING on the WORD of God, such that the WORD of FAITH, working through LOVE, gives you the enabling stand in GRACE, to ACCESS your SALVATION in Christ Jesus. And as you act on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in CONTEXT, and CONFESSING to that same WORD of FAITH generated through FEEDING on the WORD, you can become what the WORD says you can be in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 10: 8-10, 17; Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; Mark 11:20-24.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH

By Leave a Comment

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

“Do not be DECEIVED, God is not MOCKED [He will not allow Himself to be RIDICULED, nor TREATED with CONTEMPT nor allow His PRECEPTS to be SCORNFULLY set aside]; for whatever a man SOWS, this and this only is what he will REAP. 8 For the one who SOWS to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will REAP from the flesh RUIN and DESTRUCTION, but the one who SOWS to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap ETERNAL LIFE” Galatians 6:7-8/Amplified.

Dear friend and Church folks, you need to know and hear this to make a wise resolved intentionally and pragmatically, which is – TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – and until you LIVE the LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you ARE otherwise only DECEIVING yourself – and SELF-DECEPTION is a very dangerous place to be in the faith in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 1:8 (5-10)].

And SELF-DECEPTION is the worst ENEMY and COHORTS to one’s self in every respect of intent to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Hence, the scriptures said in accordance to the words of Jesus Christ, that life it’s about living a WHOLESOME life in Him, where JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) rules and reigns accordingly and respectfully [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-3; Matthew 23:23]. Therefore, don’t be deceived – for God is NOT a man – and you can’t BUY or BRIBE Him to get through in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [PRIMARY] things you OUGHT to have DONE without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23/Amplified.

” . . . 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to PAY a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “THEN PAY TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away” Matthew 22:15-22/Amplified.

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they can outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But why? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE/TITHING and OFFERING, giving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church/Churches in kind/cash; or giving a special donation towards CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes them win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies them into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or REDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.

“God is NOT a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” Numbers 23:19-20.

Am SORRY to say to any that the Kingdom of God has NO short cut access or BRIBERY windows for such self consumed or consummated intent. For God can’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you sow –  [Galatians 6:6-8]. And it’s simply because there are more important, primary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and it’s about LIVING the life of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in TITHE/TITHING as well.

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up your TITHE/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T NEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS.

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD. This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ not of me or any there you may have grudge and resentment against. You then – PAUSE and THINK. you need to really ponder And meditate. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s your wisdom nuggets to do life TODAY and your fulfilment TOMORROW.

TITHE/TITHING it’s not ENOUGH – Until You LIVE the LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead. For you can’t bribe, buy and outsmart God in any way and by any means.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23/Amplified.

“Then the PHARISEES went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said. 16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the HERODIANS, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status]. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to PAY a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “THEN PAY TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away” Matthew 22:15-22/Amplified.

THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: ENSURING AND ASSURING – GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS!

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.

And these BESTOWED graciousnesss and gracefulness essential acts are:

* The WORK of FAITH

* The LABOUR of LOVE

* The PATIENCE of HOPE

It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousnesss and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace.

This thus means that,  you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.

And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your ELECTION of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.
