GOD’S BATTLE AXE: The BATTLE of The MIND!

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S BATTLE AXE: The BATTLE of The MIND! – Mark 5:1-20. 

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY [of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning FEAR], but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of LOVE and of CALM and WELL-BALANCED MIND and DISCIPLINE and SELF-CONTROL” 2 Timothy 1:7/Amplified. 

Knowingly or unknowingly, there’s a battle and warfare that is ongoing in our minds twenty-four-seven. Unfortunately, the Church has sat on SPIRITUAL WARFARE for so long that we have lost a major BATTLE which I called – MENTAL WARFARE. 

For its ones PICTURE that determines ones FUTURE. It is what you picture in the spirit of your MIND that determines what awaits you in the future. And the vitality for SOUND MIND can NEVER be over-emphasised at all. 

This is simply for these: 

  • Your mind is certainly a gateway to your life, for every event of your life is determined in the mind. 
  • Every captive is first arrested in the mind. And your Liberty (freedom) is established or lost in the MIND. 
  • Your mind is the controller of your destiny. Until you are able to keep your mind under control, your life is out of control. 
  • As terrible as sin is, Jesus established that sin begins with a seed of thought (Matthew 5:27-30). All the devil does is to sell the thought. When you buy the thought, you become a victim of the act. 
  • Nobody succeeds by chance; success begins with a thought. Nobody prospers just by effort. Every act of prosperity and advancement in life has its source in the hearted mind. 
  • Until you begin to think differently things will not be different. Every GRACIOUS imagination establishes you, but every human philosophy that one falls for, makes a captive of you. YOU ARE A PRODUCT OF YOUR THOUGHT LIFE. For as you THINK, so you BECOME. 
  • Every EVIL that came upon Job began with his imagination of it (Job 3:25). Every EVIL IMAGINATION is an express access for EVIL. 
  • Right living begins with right thinking. Great living begins with great thinking and great success begins with great success thought. Hence, you don’t reply THOUGHTS with THOUGHTS but with WORDS. 

FINALLY – Foreknowing the above and such likes, one can say that – until your mentality is corrected, your destiny is not secured. Satan has no access to your spirit, knowing it is in relationship and fellowship with the Father God; but he has access to your mind. It is the gateway to your life. Therefore, give no place to the devil or else he will give you a direction. 

You are GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPON OF WAR, do something – RENEWING the spirit of your mind by the WORD to remain SOUND-MINDED. That is the HOW to BATTLE in your MIND. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God“ Romans 12:2. 

“And be RENEWED in the spirit of your MIND” Ephesians 4:23. 

“For God hath not given us the spirit of FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a SOUND MIND“ 2 Timothy 1:7. 

“For as he THINKS in his heart, so is he [in behavior—one who manipulates]. He says to you, “Eat and drink,” Yet his heart is not with you [but it is begrudging the cost]” Proverbs 23:7. 

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 The WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking EVERY THOUGHT and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (Amplified).

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT: FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS – MADE POSSIBLE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD – IN OUR REDEMPTION! 

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, He MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7. 

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Are you one of those who CAN FORGIVE but who CAN’T FORGET or who CAN’T FORGIVE and CAN’T FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? I mean cutting your nose to spite on your face? Do you want to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge, rancour and such like more? There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can POSSESS your WHOLENESS in Redemption again; For it’s all MADE possible in OUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in CHRIST JESUS stead. AMEN. 

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, government and governance are being ruined  every day in every way because of the inability to FORGIVE and FORGET; and to move FORWARD, which is ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace to succeed. 

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, RANCOUR, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such likes. You can set yourself FREE from nursing and living on the hurt, through God’s unconditional LOVE that surpasses and transcends human comprehension and understanding as displayed in Christ Jesus LOVE stead that’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. You can then take the step of love in faith to INTENTIONALLY and PRAGMATICALLY hand over the hurt and hunt of not forgiving and not forgetting to God in Christ Jesus, who has justified all including you in love. This is the path way to deal with spirit of not forgiving and forgetting – and this is applicable to all, in all matter of doing life and living godly in the context by the scripture, and not according to our own wish or intention that results in revenge, evil and wickedness. 

“May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], [17] so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in LOVE, [18] be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; [19] and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:16-19/Amplified. 

“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 4:18. 

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION in God’s love in Christ Jesus play the means and definitional route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, ONWARDS and UPWARDS on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all to be WHOLE again in Him. 

“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. 

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS day to day life of grace. 

To JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done. This is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE DEED DID of Christ in our REDEMPTION; to set us free with NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE attached; in order to erase our PAST, wherein our iniquity has been buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS. 

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19. 

Hence to say that the New Creation in Christ has no PAST. And when you act in same like spirit towards others, you will live free of BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it hunts and hurts as a cancerous disease on the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET. 

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION! 

I pray that God’s grace and blessings be upon you in this light. Amen.

THE NEW CREATION: TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His steadfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM

By Leave a Comment

JESUS CHRIST – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM: FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM!

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be SUBJECT AGAIN to a YOKE of SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1 (Amplified).

You don’t have to go and look too far away from you to note through the mirror of life that the entire world are interconnected, and are built up and built on and built by many communities of like minded – and each are of various unions, associations and passion in many respect; and their coming together are for a common cause and purpose, and they are in the course to create, promote, explore, initiate and enhance a kind of FEEEDOM to meet a particular interest.

The irony of life is that each of all these various acts of coming together either at International, national, community, work place, streets and the family enforced levels, have NOT given any, the genuine total FREEDOM as so much desired, anticipated and expected to experience in their fulness. And, knowingly and unknowingly, and in most of the various cases, what they do considered at a time as a FREEDOM, has become the foundation for another unidentified and unaccounted bondages; and unfortunately, the entanglement in its causes and course are at a cost, and enormous in various ways. And the changes with time to suit or solve one problem has created another in it in many other ways – hence some have folded up, others surviving instead of thriving, and many others are just in existence to count time by and by for next move.

It’s therefore imperative to know that the allegiance to all forms of man-made STATUE and ARCHITECTURE IMAGE that has been believed, revered, adored and adopted in some places as such, all in the name of serving the symbol of landmarks, are in fact classed in SCRIPTURAL terms as an IDOL. Especially when you examine the reason for such high places STATUE, SYMBOLIC IMAGES in our high streets and City Centres and other designated high places. Most times they depicts in essence of ENSLAVING, BONDAGES, INSULT, SEGREGATION, MARGINALISATION and such like – because what they once signify in a particular generation and dispensation it’s no longer welcome and honourable to another generation. That’s why the only true FREEDOM, is that which is of God in Christ Jesus, LIVING IN OUR HEARTS beyond dispensation, generation and walls of any sorts. For God’s FREEDOM for us all  in Christ Jesus is irrespective, and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. It beyond walls of any respect.

“. . . 21 Little children [believers, dear ones], GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would TAKE God’s PLACE IN YOUR HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21/Amplified.

It’s for the above narrative and such like, that made Apostle Paul share scriptural TRUTH in Acts 17:15-34, in his response to the ATHENIANS superstitious and devotion to graven image altars, which was ascribed by them as to be to their UNKNOWN God. A community sold out to STATUE – Modernised IDOLS today. Thanks to God in His awesomeness, He used Apostle Paul eventually to bring the ATHENIANS to see the essence of knowing the true God from their superstitious bondage. Apostle Paul made them to know and understand that it’s in God that they are MADE to LIVE, to MOVE and to HAVE THEIR TRUE BEING; and he therein told them about the true FREEDOM that they EARNESTLY craved and desired to have and not from the STATUE DEPICTED on their City Centre and Community places that serves as Landmark of greatness for admiration and devotion even for many today.

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the centre of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to all [people] life and breath and all things. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands and territories. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ . . .” Acts 17:15-34/Amplified.

Be it known today as a way of reminder, that our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, has made possible the true FREEDOM to all and He has offered it to all without – PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, DOGMAS, HYPOCRISY and such like. I therefore as God’s servant hereby beckon, beg and urge YOU in same Apostolic similitude, to resolve to CONNECT to Christ Jesus today in order to enjoy the FREEDOM that is genuine without controversy and diabolical sentiments (1 Timothy 3:16) instead of the dumb IDOLS DEPICTS in STATUE and SYMBOLS for a meaningless causes other than to offend another. Hence I say you:

JESUS CHRIST IS – THE ULTIMATE AND HALLMARK OF FREEDOM – THE FREEDOM WITHOUT HYPOCRISY, DOGMAS, PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS, BIGOT AND SUCH LIKE – GET CONNECTED TO HIM AND LIVE FREE IN HIS GRACE TO STAND TALL IN HIS POWER AND MIGHT IN GOD. AMEN.

You who PREACH against stealing, do you steal [in ways that are discrete, but just as sinful]? 22 You who say that one must not commit adultery, do you commit adultery?

“. . . 16 Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was greatly angered when he saw that the CITY was full of IDOLS. 17 So he had discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Gentiles, and in the market place day after day with any who happened to be there . . . 22 So Paul, standing in the centre of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I observe [with every turn I make throughout the city] that you are very religious and devout in all respects. 23 Now as I was going along and carefully looking at your objects of worship, I came to an ALTAR with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you already worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who GIVES to all [people] LIFE and BREATH and all things. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having determined their APPOINTED TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their lands and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 For in Him we LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ 29 So then, being God’s children, we should not think that the Divine Nature (deity) is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination or skill of man . . .” Acts 17:15-34/Amplified.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God DOES NOT habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we ARE in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and anything that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21 Amplified.

“The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 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? 20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they SACRIFICE TO DEVILS, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have FELLOWSHIP WITH DEVILS. 21 Ye cannot DRINK the cup of the Lord, and the cup of DEVILS: ye cannot be PARTAKERS of the Lord’s table, and of the TABLE OF DEVILS. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?” 1 Corinthians 10:16-22.

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS

WE’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS: NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURTS AND YOUR PAST – WHEN YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED!

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, DECLARED BLAMELESS before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the JOY OF RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us REJOICE in our HOPE and the CONFIDENT ASSURANCE of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His EXCELLENCE and POWER]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more?  There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again. And when you are – BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS there’s NO MORE FISHING EXPEDITION ON YOUR PAST AND YOUR HURTS, because FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS is MADE POSSIBLE in the JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – in CHRIST JESUS on your behalf – that’s the gracious and BLESSEDNESS our REDEMPTION.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, governments and governances are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and more importantly, to moved FORWARD from the past and hurts, and moved in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace and BLESSEDNESS to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.

“We know that we have PASSED from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because He LAID DOWN His life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all, in order to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARD, INWARD and ONWARD day to day life of grace.

And to JUSTIFY or BEING JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST JESUS, is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done because Jesus made Himself the sin for our redemption [2 Corinthians 5:21]. For this is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE work of grace that Jesus Christ DID in our REDEMPTION, to set us FREE without accusations, ensuring and assuring that there’s NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE and our PAST attached, thereby making us a NEW CREATION [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16]; God by justification did all the enumerated in Christ Jesus, in order to ERASE our PAST, as He ensure and assure that our INIQUITIES has been BURIED in the sea of FORGETFULNESS – and NO MORE THE FISHING of the PAST to HURT and HUNT your TODAY and TOMORROW in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA [OF FORGETFULNESS]” Micah 7:18-19/Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I make bold to say you and to all, that to the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has no PAST because we’ve BEING JUSTIFIED BY IN CHRIST JESUS. And when you act in same like spirit TOWARD others, you will LIVE FREE from and of – BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it will hunt and hurt you as a cancerous disease, especially on you the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET but go about nursing grudges in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation as you do life and do godly in Christ Jesus.

IT’S EXPENSIVE TO CARRY RESENTMENT AND WRATH – IT’S LIKE TAKING PARACETAMOL MEDICINES FOR ANOTHER PERSON HEADACHES – THEREFORE, NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION – THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES OF REDEMPTION IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

“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 (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

THE CROSS – OUR PLACE OF REDEMPTION DONE DEED: IT’S THE SILENCER TO ALL BONDAGES!
 
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.
 
You can live free in grace today, right now and do life without sweat, stress and pressure in Christ, because of the REDEMPTION DONE DEED on the Cross from all satanic attack and deceptions, religious creed, philosophy, dogmas and oblations, man-made creeds and make believes, rudiments and traditions of men.

The Cross done deed of Christ Jesus at REDEMPTION is the SILENCER of Satan, man-made tradition, religion and religious make-belief. Possessing your Possession becomes possible and effectual when you are free from religious and traditional bondages of all sorts in the name of God.

“As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, so WALK ye in Him: 7 ROOTED and BUILT UP in him, and STABLISHED in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE lest any man spoil you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: 12 BURIED with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the circumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS; 15 and having spoiled principalities and powers, he MADE a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. 20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye SUBJECT TO ORDINANCES, 21 (touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and DOCTRINES OF MEN? 23 which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh” Colossians 2:6-23.

A GLORIOUS, GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL POSITION – IT’S OUR PLACE OF GRACE

By Leave a Comment

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