WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2024: “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”: FOR GOD IS FAITHFUL IN HIS FAITHFULNESS – IT’S HIS BEING AND HIS NATURE!

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

One thing is certain in life and grace, that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard or Tiger, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep or Ram, even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics. And if anyone wants to be god like God as the Scriptures enjoins, one needs to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS”, for as He is, so are we in this world as written:

“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.

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Holy Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare “HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS” for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“O Lord, thou art my God; I will EXALT thee, I will PRAISE thy name; for thou hast done WONDERFUL things; thy COUNSELS of old are FAITHFULNESS and TRUTH” Isaiah 25:1.

The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ and therein prospered when he dare. The same enabling grace as to being FAITHFUL to ‘HAVE IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS’ is available to us today when we dare, and it’s irrespective of any of our challenges toward being FAITHFUL and to then PROSPER in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)].

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

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself in FAITHFULNESS. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises in His FAITHFULNESS. Hebrews 10:23.
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement in His FAITHFULNESS. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
  8. God is the and a FAITHFUL creator in His FAITHFULNESS. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS to all about life and godliness; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S A GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [true] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW TO IT [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22 Amplified.

” . . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED US with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly PLACES in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-12 NKJV.

It’s a high time for you to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. For the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as in our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom.

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified.

And our promiser and provider is faithful, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender and such like. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who calls upon His name.

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Amplified.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39.

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Herein are the reasons for the given and entrusted – and available BLESSEDNESS of God:

** That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2.

** That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9.

** That you have plenty enough and leftovers to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding and complaining. Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38.

** To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3.

** To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such like. Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34.

** To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conquerors in Christ Jesus stead. Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12.

** To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17.

These above and many as may be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit within, indicates the graciousness and gracefulness of our God in Christ Jesus to see you do life and live godly in righteousness, in the kingdom, on this side of the heavenly in our earthly temporary domain. The whole concept is the essence of you knowing and understanding your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Now that you know that the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and ENTRUSTED, and also AVAILABLE for you in grace, what manner of person OUGHT you to become in your path of doing life and to live godly in Christ Jesus stead; this is in order to help you to be fulfilled meaningfully the purposefully for the while you are ENDOWED and ENTRUSTED with God’s BLESSEDNESS.  SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“. . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US accepted in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his OWN will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

DON’T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF

DON’T GIVE UP ON YOURSELF: GOD WILL NOT DENY HIS NAME AND HIS WORD CONCERNING YOU – HE’S IMMUTABLE!

No matter what you are going through today, don’t give up on your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. There’s no hopeless in God. God is concern about you for today and tomorrow. Therefore, you should not allow the past to hold back your today and tomorrow. For the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus have no past – for all things become NEW in REDEMPTION. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. 17 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, 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 6:16-20.

“For ever, O Lord, thy WORD is SETTLED in heaven. 90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth” Psalms 119:89-90.

“. . . 13 Let them praise the NAME of the Lord: for his NAME alone is EXCELLENT; his glory is ABOVE the EARTH and HEAVEN” Psalms 148:1-14.

STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT

By Leave a Comment

STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT – STOP  SINNING TO MAKE A LIVING: GOD IS WEARY OF YOUR REPENTANCE – STOP IT NOW AND LIVE!

“For who shall have PITY upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall BEMOAN thee? or who shall go ASIDE to ask how thou doest? 6 Thou hast FORSAKEN me, saith the Lord, thou art gone BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand AGAINST thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING” Jeremiah 15:5-6.

I don’t know if it’s you this is meant for today – but I could hear a strong voice of God saying – shout it loud for someone there to hear, know and be aware that He’s bored of your continuous habit of SINNING and REPENTING  – in order to make a living; much more, to keep or sustain that success and excellence in an ILLUSION.

It may looks odds in HUMAN PERSPECTIVE to hear God say or ask you to STOP the act of SINFUL deed and kind, but I do know that God wants WHOSOEVER to have a SORROW FREE LIFE in THEIR BLESSINGS, and in ALL THEY DO IN LIFE as His children; even as it’s written:

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

I know and understand one thing about God – He gives the enabling gracious power for His own to GET, ACQUIRE and CREATE the desired purposeful goal, the position and place of dignity – meaning, the ENDURING blessings without sorrow and regrets. Hence you need to stop, for God can’t be fool as to mere men; He may ESCHEW you soonest, He ABHORS your doing and He’s WEARY of always giving you another chance and opportunity to make it right again.

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

Will you now STOP. Has God warned you before? Isn’t it? I mean directly or and through someone else or and in your subconscious thoughts? And You PROMISED NEVER AGAIN. Watch out I say, and  PLEASE STOP for your good and others about you. Don’t call it or see it as a MISTAKE or ACCIDENTAL – I say ABSTAIN and FLEW from every of the APPEARANCE of the KNOWN SINFUL HABITS.

IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT, ACHIEVE IT AND OR TO GET THERE – THAT POSITION OR POSSESSION! SAVE YOUR NOW AND TOMORROW BY TODAY’S LIFE DOING.

Will you PLEASE STOP if this concerns you? GOD LOVES YOU. JESUS LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU and EVEN SO DO I IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT and or GET THERE and or ACHIEVE THAT SUCCESS, EXCELLENCE AND SUCH LIKE.

PLEASE STOP. I plead to you today – STOP. Take advantage of God’s LOVE, MERCIES, FORGIVENESS and this TIMELY reminder today, to make a new start for the new you in Christ. HAVE FAITH IN GOD FOR YOUR NEW DAWN IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

Be Blessed today and Evermore as you make a fresh start with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For who shall have PITY upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall BEMOAN thee? or who shall go ASIDE to ask how thou doest? 6 Thou hast FORSAKEN me, saith the Lord, thou art gone BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand AGAINST thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING” Jeremiah 15:5-6.

“Behold, the Lord’s HAND is not SHORTENED, that it CANNOT save; neither his EAR heavy, that it CANNOT hear: 2 but your INIQUITIES have SEPARATED between you and your God, and your SINS have HID his FACE from you, that he will not HEAR. 3 For your HANDS are DEFILED with blood, and your FINGERS with iniquity; your LIPS have spoken lies, your TONGUE hath muttered perverseness . . .” Isaiah 59:1-21.

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN from ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT AND SOUL AND BODY BE PRESERVED BLAMELESS UNTO THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH YOU, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.

“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.

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that TILLETH (CULTIVATES) his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a FOUNDATION a stone, a TRIED stone, a PRECIOUS corner stone, a SURE foundation: HE THAT BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16.

“Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8 LET THY GARMENTS BE ALWAYS WHITE; AND LET THY HEAD LACK NO OINTMENT. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!

“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).

There is sufficient cause to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in – God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay – in your life in the Lord; and especially, as you keep on keeping on, on the gracious and graceful kingdom rewarding purpose for you in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the need and cause, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others, especially for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts in your life, in the LORD and His Kingdom advancement in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labour of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

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

“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 UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 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 3:7-15.

LIVING ASSUREDLY IN YEAR 2024

LIVING ASSUREDLY IN YEAR 2024 – THE HOW TO LIVE AND THRIVE: CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE!

“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” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

The signatures of those who were REDEEMED of the Lord God almighty from every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION of all kinds, was that they spoke and sang a NEW song to differentiate them from the UNREDEEMED sung they were singing prior to their REDEMPTION. Instead of songs of defeats and failures, they sang from their seated and sitted position of VICTORY and TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Ephesians 2:6]. They call to be WHO and WHOM and WHAT they have BECOME of God in Christ Jesus’ stead. What a New way to live in the FULLNESS of our justified status in God, in Christ Jesus.

 “And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art WORTHY to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, opened His MOUTH to proceed forth with GRACIOUS WORDS that marvelled the people of His time so that they began to question if this is not Joseph’s Son with an alternative to the norm [this was after His returns with power of the fasting and prayers and appearance into the synagogue to announce of His EARTHLY commission plan, purpose and pursuit of Father God for humanity]

“. . . 22 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 4:1-22.

And Moses and Mariam made no mistakes to lead the children of Israel and the women to a GLORIOUSLY and TRIUMPHANTLY songs to declare of the VICTORY songs over Pharaoh [the ENEMY] and the chariot’s [COHORTS] in symbolism that would have them dead at the red sea of life challenges.

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will EXALT Him . . . 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21.

And in our REDEMPTION, we’ve been MADE TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus. And being TRIUMPHANT is the expression of the VICTORY we have of God over the ENEMY and COHORTS. For we’ve been made a more than CONQUEROR [Romans 8:37], an OVERCOMER [Revelation 12:11; 1 John 5:4-5] and victorious [1 Corinthians 15:57]. To enact and authenticate all these and such like, an expression of the glorious TRIUMPH is the answer on what we’ve become of God in the now in Christ Jesus in our redemption.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He made a PUBLIC example of them [EXHIBITING THEM AS CAPTIVES in His TRIUMPHAL PROCESSION], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:8-15/Amplified.

“But THANKS be to God, who always LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and makes EVIDENT EVERYWHERE the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14/Amplified.

The YEAR 2024 is graciously pregnant and is here now to give birth to all sorts as you permit to happen [Matthew 16:19 Amplified; Matthew 18:18 Amplified]. And only God alone in essence, knows the END from the BEGINNING of all about YEAR 2024 for you and I as we stayed on the onward and upward trajectory in REDEMPTION, in everyway of living and doing Life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, He had made all things available about you specifically by the Holy Spirit which He has given to us. Therefore get connected to the person of the Holy Spirit as it’s written:

“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.

“And hope MAKETH not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And if you BELIEVED in your set goals as God has always BELIEVED in His, you need to steadily do what Bible FAITH people did to cause their set goals [plan, purpose and pursuit] that they dearly BELIEVED-IN, to come to pass – meaning to reality, fruition and tangibility. Thus indicating to LIVE and THRIVE it’s about “CALLING THOSE THINGS THAT BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE”. And as God did and spoke creation into being, you can by His indwelling gracious Spirit in you, CAUSE to come to be also your earnest desires, when you can POSSIBLY have a believe IN your spirit (heart) being by the WORD of God in your mouth until the earnest desire comes to fruition. That’s the HOW to do life and live godly by faith in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, in scriptural context and concept. [Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Proverbs 18:20-21. Romans 10:8-13].

Father Abraham did BELIEVED God and called to be, those things that ARE not into reality. The same scenario were done of Elizabeth the Mother of John the Baptist and Mary the Mother of Jesus and many others, untill their UNKNOWN became a REALITY. You can make your YEAR 2024 desired goals as in the plan, purpose and pursuit, to turn out to be good and real, as you begin today, even now, to CALL into being things that be not as though that ARE, as you BELIEVED even as written in the Holy Writ of Romans 4:16-17.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the PROMISE might be SURE to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the FAITH of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have MADE thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the DEAD, and CALLETH THOSE THINGS WHICH BE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE”

And if we BE and ARE as Abraham seed by Faith in all about our REDEMPTION, we need to EXERCISE the enabling grace and wisdom of God as He did to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE our FAITH in Him, into reality and tangibility.

“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, 13-14, 26-29.

I wish you the fruitiness of Year 2024. And may God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING

By Leave a Comment

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING: PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP ENHANCED BY FELLOWSHIP!

“Thou wilt shew me THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11 [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6].

Sometimes People talk and almost boast on how much they do fast or have fasted and prayed and praying as to qualify or earn them somehow a spiritual status of greatness; more especially as we are about turning into a new year, some will set days or weeks or months as if they are in a comparable state to prove something. Forgetting that they who go comparing themselves for whatever reason in this Kingdom causes are not Scripturally wise – meaning are foolish, ignorant and immature for such act of comparison intent as written:

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the NUMBER, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

Prayer or praying and fasting is a vitality and necessity for every Christian faith believer in Christ Jesus of which I acclaimed to belong. I love to vitalise my faith through all that, but as important as any or both vitalities and necessities are, they are void if the objective is not primarily about FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God as a result of being born of God and for the good and goodness of God’s cause on earth for mankind in Christ Jesus stead.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

And to engage in an effective PRAYERS and probably with FASTING in FELLOWSHIP to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God for any cause, there’s the need to live a life of FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS to necessitate them. Many may say they can or may FORGIVE but can’t possibly FORGET. Can you imagine God, ONLY FORGIVING you of your shortfalls and NOT FORGETTING about it? and you want to claim to live or be living in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead without such knowing and understanding as God’s offspring?

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye SHALL HAVE them.  25 And WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your TRESPASSES.  26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES” Mark 11:24-26.

And one needs to know that as God is in Christ Jesus, so ARE we in this world, in order to carry on His GOSPEL mandate without an “IF and BUT” baggages – 1 John 4:17-18 [John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5]. This then indicates that there’s therefore something more of a FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES we need to uphold in grace by faith, in order to enhance PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING. Thus, there is more to PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING toward our – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – which are in twine with FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS. Otherwise, prayer will be UNANSWERED and one is only a noise maker of self-gratification and in deceptions, no matter how much you acclaimed to prayers or prayer and fasting.

For PRAYER or PRAYING AND FASTING to be effectual – productive and results oriented, it must have the FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL principles called a RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead and enhanced through FELLOWSHIP accordingly. That’s the basic principle that any one who intends to reach out to God must endeavour to establish for themselves otherwise middle men cohorts in the name of God with titles and entitlements, will take advantage of such vulnerability and ignorance, and become a god and wants to do god to such an individual which is unscriptural and unfounded in the Christian FAITH foundation and fundamental, which justification and access by faith is only of – REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward Christ Jesus. Amen. [Acts 20:20-21].

“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.

“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.

And to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus Christ, the act of communion – FELLOWSHIP, is a necessity and vitality for one to fulfill PURPOSE with God. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The act of FELLOWSHIP is to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, and this act to enhance is only possible with a spirited heart of forgiving (FORGIVENESS) and forgetting (FORGETFULNESS) on the human part toward God in Christ Jesus, toward self and toward others. You can’t get yourself entangle with unforgiveness and unforgettable attitude to God, to self and to others and wants to enjoy God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s upon this principle aforementioned, that PRAYERS – PRAYING AND FASTING – act can be of EFFECTUAL – productive and result oriented with the peace, assurance that transcends and surpasses human comprehension and understanding. [Mark 11:20-26; Matthew 5:38-48; James 5:13-18, Philippians 4:6-7. Ephesians 3:14-20].

I pray that you receive the grace for an effectual and efficient FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, that will enhanced your PRAYER life through the Spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness with – God, Self and others –  in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

“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.  25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses” Mark 11:22-26.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“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.

“Be CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the PEACE of God, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall KEEP (GUARD, GARRISON) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Emphasis Mine.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 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, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELVES, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 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 12:19-21.

“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.

“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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: ARE YOU ABRAHAM SEED – BE FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM!

“And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:29.

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE”. This I have done for over 45yrs and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:9, 29 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written:

“So then THEY which be of FAITH are BLESSED with FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. . . 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:9.

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be Abraham seed and wants Abraham Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as Abraham, as we do sing “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who ARE of FAITH in Christ Jesus ARE of Abraham and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This becomes possible because Abraham was ascribed as being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience cum humility in believing God’s word above any thing else and being ASSURED of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be, in all about him doing life and living godly to fulfill God’s divine PURPOSE meaningfully.

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the GOSPEL as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the GOSPEL of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly, intentionally and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25 and Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in his BLESSEDNESS of him with God, in that he was FAITHFUL as ascribed as – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM.

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today:

  1. He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7).
  2. He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.
  3. He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings – Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33).
  4. He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful – Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.
  5. He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21;
  6. He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy – Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25.
  7. He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenge, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity save him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30.
  8. He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he find himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10.
  9. He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. – Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19.
  10. He was FAITHFUL even at his lost of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILL for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13.
  11. He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.
  12. He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfiling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22.

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortified and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing.

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he’s toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3.

“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.

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED STRENGTH TO CONCEIVE SEED, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she judged him FAITHFUL who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-19.

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how FAITH wrought with his works, and by works was FAITH made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” James 2:20-24.

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the dead, and CALLETH those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against HOPE believed in HOPE, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

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

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

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dare. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges to toward being FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]

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

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
  8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us EXCEEDING GREAT and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment [QUESTIONING, CHALLENGES]: 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/Emphasis Mine.

“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 100:3.

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples MADE with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; 26 and hath MADE of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE, AND MOVE, AND HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his OFFSPRING. 29 Forasmuch then as we ARE the OFFSPRING of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device” Acts 17:24-29.

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

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6.

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

“GOD IS FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE,  LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.
