“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may KNOW him that is true, and we ARE in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. 21 Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen” 1 John 5:20-21.
 
“Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from IDOLATRY. 15 I speak as to WISE men; JUDGE ye what I say . . . 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar? 19 What say I then? THAT THE IDOL IS ANY THING, OR THAT WHICH IS OFFERED IN SACRIFICE TO IDOLS IS ANY THING? . . .” 1 Corinthians 10:14-18.
 
God’s Child – it’s a high time you keep yourself away from IDOLS AND IDOLATRY – and any of their such-like demands and activities.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE A – WITNESS – LEADER – AND COMMANDER – AN OVERCOMER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have GIVEN him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently living and running on in God’s schedule? Do you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus stead, do really UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR did to be exclusively different and unique to be leaders?  Do you know and understand what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER – meaning to be in charge – than blaming others for your limitations as an entitlement?

“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.

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. There’s the need to know that the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are going through may ends badly as a Believer in Christ Jesus; especially when you know it’s obvious it contradicts the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that can sets one free, and being able to know the needs to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations, the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; JUDGE [EXAMINE] ye what I SAY” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus means that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Sometimes you need to run away and in some cases to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in your life.

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES IN THIS PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized, and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God say he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4 As concerning therefore the EATING of those things that are offered in SACRIFICE UNTO IDOLS, we know that an IDOL IS NOTHING in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5 For though there be that ARE called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6 but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7 Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8 But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9 But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 and through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13 Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend” 1 Corinthians 8:1-13.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE AN OVERCOMER – COMMANDER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – Individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently? Do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus stead, do UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR and what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER? 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“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”

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. Yet the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are in, even when it’s obvious it contradict the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that sets one free indeed and to know to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus mean that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly. Sometimes you need to run and in some to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God in your life.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God says he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES IN THIS PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath dealt to EVERY man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“And 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.

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.
