THE ENTRANCE OF THE WORD: ENABLES GLOWING, REFRESHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE . . . And SHINING In GLORY! 

Light is and will always be superior to darkness at any point of showing. Meaning it is by the amount of light you let into your life that outshines the darkness about you. And this light is as a result of The WORD of the Lord God you’ve allowed to flood into your being. For more WORD gives to more LIGHT that outshine darkness at any level. And Jesus is THE WORD – and His fullness in you will give the enabling to keep you GLOWING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Him. 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-5, 14.

It’s written in the Holy Writ that “The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS give LIGHT; it gives UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” (Psalms 119:130). If The WORD does not have an entrance into you, surely there would be darkness or works of darkness about you to deal with. You can’t live beyond the amount of the LIGHT you have of God – Psalms 119:105; for the just shall live by his faith in the light of The Word – Habakkuk 2:4. And the Word shines in darkness and darkness cannot outshine, overcome and comprehend it – John 1:1-5.

Wisdom as a result of the knowledge and understanding of The Word, makes a man’s face to shine and the boldness of his face shall be changed from glory to glory by the Spirit of The Lord – Ecclesiastes 8:1; 2 Corinthians 3:18; and this breathed inspiration, revelation and empowerment of The Spirit enables us to do life with understanding and without sweat and stress – Job 32:8; Job 33:4.

Today! Give The Word of God an entrance by inclining to His sayings, you will break-forth into wholeness and your path shall shine more brighter and brighter until the dawn of a new you in a perfect day with God – Proverbs 4:18, 20-22. The WORD Makes WHOLE and gives the enabling to our glowing and refreshing in God’s graciousness and gracefulness.

For in God, light will always illuminates out of darkness no matter the strength of that darkness. God does not shine light upon darkness but instead allow light to outshine out of darkness. In that which you considered or have considered to be full of darkness, God will by the WORD, cause darkness to shine out of it.  2 Corinthians 4:6; Genesis 1: 1-5.

Therefore, don’t be afraid of the dark or darkness when you are flooded with the WORD in your INNER being. For the beauty, glory, glowing and refreshing of the light within you is known in the darkest of the darkness about you. The darker the brighter the light by the WORD.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY!

FOR YOU ARE GIVEN THE MEASURE OF FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS – DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE.

God in His grace in Christ Jesus, has ACCORDINGLY dealt to you THE MEASURE of FAITH to enable you BECOME in Him. By the article “THE” measure and not “A” measure as used in Romans 12:3 and Ephesians 4:7 thus indicate the leverage. In other words, THE measure of FAITH you need to DEAL measurably with the MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES you are facing right now or later is readily within you. Dare to BELIEVE and act on it accordingly and then BECOME what you BELIEVE. Faith is ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. BELIEVE is Passive and it’s to conceive the WORD for FAITH to act upon. FAITH then is acting on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD accordingly and correspondingly.

Therefore, stop seeking for the MIRACLE that is already within your reach. For you’ve been GIVEN the enabling GRACE to BECOME ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

BE BLESSED.

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, HAVE MERCY ON US.  28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.  29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” Matthew 9:27-29.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 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, 20-24.

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. 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 10:8-13.

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES – AND YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in economic and pandemic state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job losses and bereavement of love ones and acquaintance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do an upgrade by innovating, creating, initiating and exploring in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque; and to look inwards for an onwards and upwards trajectory match; and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience; and the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, made REAL because of your God given endowment within (Hebrews 11:1-3). It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – (Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.

My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!

Am yet to find one Believer in Christ who does not wants to actualize 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, actualizing 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 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 a few ESSENCE to enable you to see 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 knowledge 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 favor – 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.

This 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.

BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!

You need to build your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL for you or on Men 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 have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I want 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” Mark 10:9-10.

WISDOM NUGGETS

WISDOM NUGGETS: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you are only deceiving yourself. And self deception is the worst ENEMY and COHORTS to one’s self. Hence, Jesus said – it’s about living a WHOLESOME life in Him. Don’t be deceived. God is NOT a man – You can’t BUY or BRIBE Him to get through in life and grace.

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 – THINK.

YOU NEED TO PONDER And MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your 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.

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)
