DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN

By Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN: BEING DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE WORTH IT – DON’T RUN AWAY! 

“Better is an OPEN REPRIMAND [of LOVING CORRECTION] than LOVE that is HIDDEN [CONCEALED]. 6 Faithful are the WOUNDS of a friend [who CORRECTS out of LOVE and CONCERN], but the KISSES of an ENEMY are DECEITFUL [because they SERVE his hidden agenda]” Proverbs 27:5-6/Amplified 

I want to believe you know God has your best interests at heart – any day, anywhere, and anytime. And that God LOVES you unconditionally, too, and irrespective. And so, be good and godly towards others in every respect, in Christ Jesus stead. And we ARE only being DISCIPLINED and CHASTISED and REPRIMANDED and REBUKED by God in Christ Jesus stead, ONLY on matters that are unscriptural, and of naughtiness, and of foolish behavioural manners contrary to the context of His will for us as His dear children, in order to bring about the good and goodness out of us. Therefore, DON’T RUN AWAY FROM GOD LIKE ADAM AND EVE, BUT RUN TOWARDS GOD EVEN IN DISCIPLINE. Running away is what Satan and cohort’s wants you to do – that’s worse for you because you will fall into the wickedness of satanic traps. Running towards God will provide safety. Be as the prodigal son and return home to your Father God and be as David to be at God’s gatehouse rather than in satanic domain of wickedness. 

“. . . 7 They go from STRENGTH TO STRENGTH; Each one appears before God in Zion . . . 10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a DOORKEEPER in the house of my God Than dwell in the TENTS OF WICKEDNESS. 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly . . .” Psalms 84:1-12/NKJV. 

“. . . 17 “But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, [19] and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants . . .” Luke 15:11-32/NKJV. 

And our ability to ENDURE God’s DISCIPLINES and CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – is for our OWN good and eternal VIRTUE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. God’s discipline [chastisement] is one aspect of the Christian faith in Christ Jesus, that many so called Believer’s doesn’t want to reckon with; and especially when matters of LOVE pops up about them. And, when God have to use their heartfelt loving friends or colleagues or parents or any avenues deemed fit by Him to help them stand upright and strengthen up for their own good and goodness – they can’t and won’t fathom it until they found themselves in a messy place – because of their leaning on the deception and deceitfulness of the enemy and cohorts that only appeals to their sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

“And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For WHOM the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?” Hebrews 12:5-7. 

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE and CHASTISEMENTS. Meaning, God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He LOVES, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God. 

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it DOES matter what you do privately and publicly, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE and CHASTISES them, except they choose to be bastards or illegitimate children, which you ARE not. 

“If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN? 8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons” Hebrews 12:7-8. 

It’s my earnest PRAYER that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus’ stead; and for any reason that you detail anyway, may you be able embrace the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in every way. 1 John 1:5-10. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK . . . 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls. 4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. 5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN? 8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11. 

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18. 

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves, and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10 Amplified.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: MY TEN SPECIAL CHRISTMAS ‘WISDOM NUGGET DIGEST’ TO YOU! 

This CHRISTMAS . . . This DECEMBER, it’s great knowing these but not limited wisdom nuggets that WORTH digesting as such: 

Firstly, WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? It is a yearly COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour – Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for the good of ALL mankind. 

Secondly, I am laying out some TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST which I love you to observe for your own good – It will secure you in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in this DECEMBER Christmas from lots of shortfalls that people get trapped into. 

HEREIN are the TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST to assist you wisely in this DECEMBER CHRISTMAS preparation if you may: 

  •  1ST WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall PREPARE your soul for Christmas – [Romans 12:1-2]. We need to PREPARE a room in the INNER being of our heart for the Lord in this Christmas – [Revelation 3:20; Luke 2:7b]. 
  •  2ND WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not over BURDEN the Salesclerk with your worries – [Matthew 6:25-34 (note especially vs. 33 – the need to seek right)]. 

We need not let the worry of gifts – Shoes, games, transport, groceries, clothing’s, jewelries and other forms of shopping and shoppers, to weigh us down and get us into debt. You need to escape from the bondage of – BUY today for nothing to PAY in WORRIES and ANXIOUSNESS with HEAVY HEARTS and BURDEN later – resulting and leading to depression. 

  •  3RD WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall GIVE yourself with your gift – [2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; Psalm 49:6-9]. 

GIVE God your HEART before you GIVE your material gains and gifts: Give Him your heart, the Lord requires first before anything. Your life is worth to God than your gift. GIVING IS LIVING. 

  •  4TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not VALUE gifts by their cost – [Luke 21:1-5; Matthew 2:11]. The least expensive gift may speak LOVE and with great hearts than the costly.  
  •  5TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not LEAVE (keep) Christ outside Christmas – [Matthew 2:13]. Joseph was with Christ during Christmas celebration mood; hence he could hear from God about the enemy and cohorts’ intent and plan – for King Herod had set a danger plan against baby Jesus. Don’t let Christmas be used for evil work against you and your family. 
  •  6TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not ALLOW Father Christmas to REPLACE Christ in your heart and that of your family – [Ephesians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 2:11]. Some will put up some masquerade and sorcery circus acts to display in a devilish mood, terrorising and frightening people in the name of Christmas. Don’t get people hurt please. Stay far away from such attraction. 
  •  7TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not FORGET and NEGLECT the needy – [James 1:27; 2:14-20]. Christmas is a very good time to extend God’s love in you to the needy around you. For the have not will always be among us the scriptures say – Deuteronomy 15:11; Mark 14:7. 
  •  8TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not NEGLECT your Church – the place of gathering for Fellowship, serve and Worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – [Hebrews 10:25]. What is the Church? It is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with one another in the LOVE of Christ, to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and to WORSHIP God WORTHILY in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION. [John 4:20-24; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 14:25]. 
  •  9TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall be humble as a LITTLE Child – [Mark 10:15]. It takes a childhood heart to embrace the spirit of Christ birth for the called Christmas. Hence, it’s a time of childhood spirit and not childish attitude which we may see on our streets and community during this period. 
  •  10TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall WORSHIP and give your heart toward God in Christ Jesus – [Matthew 2:11; John 3:16; Revelation 3:20; John 1:12]. Let Christ be at the top of your Christmas commemoration and celebration. Prepare and decorate your hearts much more to your house. 

And FINALLY: 

KEEP SELFISHNESS OUT OF YOUR CHRISTMAS – FOR SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN, but LOVE makes Christmas – PEACEFUL, LOVELY, GOOD WILL and JOYOUS in every way. FOR GIVING IS LIVING. AND CONTENTMENT IS A GREAT GAIN IN LIFE AND GODLINESS. 

Wishing you a MERRY Christmas of good will and peace. And BLESSED COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The SAME was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 In him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . .14 And THE WORD was made FLESH (HUMAN), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14 Emphasis Mine. 

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE” 1 John 5:7.

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD – THAT’S NOT NEW

By Leave a Comment

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD – THAT’S NOT NEW: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN DEATH – IT’S INEVITABLE!

“For I AM the Lord, I CHANGE not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” Malachi 3:6

Some people thinks that BELIEVING in God and or not BELIEVING in God and or being doubtful if there’s God, will change the person of the sovereignty of God. Sorry my friend, that will not at all happen, if that’s your position – and it makes no difference at all about the sovereignty of God – for He CHANGES not and there’s no CONTROVERSY about Him, by what you hold or claims to hold about Him before or now.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Some others think it is their place to be emboldened and to make it known and loud, on why not to BELIEVE in God; and to question if there’s a God besides what they think as freelance thinker or atheists shows stupidity and foolishness as it’s written:

” The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is NO God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” Psalms 14:1.

And to imagine if the called God can make you unique, exclusive, important and APPLAUDED and HYPE for whatsoever reason in your assumptions or conclusions shows pure ignorance and delusional in context because it’s deadly to position yourself to be something that you are not and will never be.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.

And if you don’t FEAR God, I have these scriptural news for you to read in order to be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, if such is your case because you aren’t the first to think or imagine otherwise about God – Luke 8:1-8 Acts 17.

Unfortunately for many in their ignorance, one thing that is a certainty for all the living creation – RICH or POOR – there’s a life span for all under the sun. And this is irrespective of how morally good in your own ways you are outside God’s planned REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead; or on how wealthy or poor you might have ascertained in status and position and or have acquired the laid up blocks of being mighty, great and successful in life, in humanity. There’s an end point of life span at the undated end road, in which your BELIEVE or UNBELIEVE of God will matter then; and at that point, a mere oxygen or wealth or attained status or acquired success can’t keep any alive, and then is your ANSWER to the giver of etenal spirit and breath that’s in all human beings – which is in eternity, the breath of God in all – (Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Amplified; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27; Genesis 2:7).

The Holy Scripture of Luke 18:1-8 portrays in verses 2 and 4 of a JUDGE, who BELIEVE not in God and have no regards and sense of humanity in him for his fellow human being. How much bad could somebody status be in life. So it’s not new to not BELIEVE in God; much more to disregard others around you because of your class, status, position and acquisitions in life.

However, HEREIN are some reasons to PAUSE and THINK about your UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING position toward God:

  • In the Holy Writ of Luke 16:13-31, there is a living story of a RICH PERSON and POOR PERSON. The RICH man felt all he has attained  will buy him access to God. He NEVER believe death can even get to his door steps. As written in verse 21, the RICH man died just as the POOR man called Lazarus died. Remembering Lazarus was daily begging for help at his gate, without his consideration and care on this poor beggar. Unfortunately for the RICH man he became a beggar at death and his wealth and status never followed him.
  • A YOUNG rich man was considered to be a foolish rich man in the Holy Writ of Luke 12:13-21. He thought by His acquisition in life he could even buy death. His pride killed him, simply for His disbelieve of being rich toward God.
  • The Holy Writ of Acts 12:18-23 gives the most profound of being foolish and ignorance of God. This was exhibited by King Herod whom the scriptures described as one that was very wicked and enjoys the ovation and applaud of men – acclaimed as being God himself. When his breath of life was taken away from him by eternal God he despised, then he knows who actually is God and that there’s God.

I pray you find yourself before God gets hold of you in an awkward position when it’s difficult to bend and reverse the clock of your time while your life breath is still here on earth – Hebrews 9:27.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that WISE men die, likewise the FOOL and the BRUTISH person perish, and leave their WEALTH to others. 11 Their inward THOUGHT is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.  14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in HONOUR, and UNDERSTANDETH not, is like the beasts that perish” Psalms 49:13-20.

THERE MAY BE SPIRITUAL DROUGHT

By Leave a Comment

THERE MAY BE SPIRITUAL DROUGHT: THERE’S HOPE IN GOD – FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL WELLBEING IN THE GRACE!

“Then [in the final time] I will GIVE you [SPIRITUAL] SHEPHERDS after My own heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and [TRUE] UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15/Amplified.

There may be spiritual drought of the TRUTH of God’s WORD about you, know full well that God won’t keep you lacking, He’s there to ensure that you are fed healthily with knowledge and understanding in the grace by His provision of spiritual shepherds to feed you in season and out of season. Just open your eyes and locate them, otherwise you will feed unhealthily and live afterwards in errors and being mistaken too. For God’s intent is to see you perfected [matured, whole, complete] in the grace in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“And [His gifts to the church were varied and] He Himself appointed some as APOSTLES [special messengers, representatives], some as PROPHETS [who speak a new message from God to the people], some as EVANGELISTS [who spread the good news of salvation], and some as PASTORS and TEACHERS [to shepherd and guide and instruct], 12 [and He did this] to fully EQUIP and PERFECT the saints (God’s people) for works of service, to BUILD up the body of Christ [the church]; 13 until we all reach oneness in the faith and in the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, [growing spiritually] to become a MATURE believer, reaching to the measure of the fullness of Christ [manifesting His spiritual completeness and exercising our spiritual gifts in unity]. 14 So that we are no longer children [spiritually immature], tossed back and forth [like ships on a stormy sea] and carried about by every wind of [shifting] doctrine, by the cunning and trickery of [unscrupulous] men, by the deceitful scheming of people ready to do anything [for personal profit]. 15 But speaking the truth in love [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, building itself up in [unselfish] love” Ephesians 4:11-16/Amplified.

You have a responsibility to ensure that you don’t go to the waste bin to feed because you are hungry, but to locate the place of healthy spiritual meal for your wellbeing in the grace. So, don’t be caught up with the famine because by staying in religious setting instead of in the word of faith setting, by the hearing of the word of grace that build you up and give you access to your inheritance in the grace, which is available for all who are SANCTIFIED [set apart] for uniqueness to be the living epistle of God’s enrichment in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

God has made available His WORD for your enrichment and has equally given Shepherd that will feed you with His knowledge and understanding by the supervision of the standby Holy Spirit, so that the spiritual food is easy to receive and not burdensome, taskmaster, irksome,  slavery and grievous. And the shepherds are supposedly to break the word down to a plain state for your knowledge and understanding. This is so, so that your wellbeing as a NEW CREATION BABES for the living truth of God’s WORD, is ensured and assured in the faith, as the shepherd do help you to break it, divide it, sized it to your capacity, ability and ease to assimilates and digest it accordingly in the grace. This will help to ensure and assure that you build up the needed faith that gives the VICTORY over the world system, and the enemy and cohorts from activities in humanity.

“Wherefore LAYING ASIDE all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, 2 as newborn babes, DESIRE the SINCERE milk of the WORD, that ye may GROW thereby: 3 if so be ye have TASTED that the Lord is GRACIOUS” 1 Peter 2:1-3.

“The tongue of the sucking child cleaveth to the roof of his mouth for thirst: the young children ask bread, and no man BREAKETH [DIVIDED, BLENDED, SIZED] it unto them”  Lamentations 4:4/Emphasis mine.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his commandments: and His commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER, SLAVERY]. 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.

Just know that God loves you and cares about you. And our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, assures us that if we continue in His Word and not in fables and myths, we will KNOW the TRUTH, that TRUTH will sets us free, and it will give us the unadulterated, and unpolluted freedom – the freedom that’s free from indoctrination that’s built on sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And Jesus is THE WORD, and THE TRUTH, that sets free, and He that gives illumination to enlighten our wellbeing in the grace, because He is the light and life of our wellbeing. And the earnest grace and truth we need to do life and live godly in the grace are embedded in Him as He is the grace and truth – what a mystery. Hallelujah to our God, for great is the mystery of godliness in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on Him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In Him was LIFE; and the Life was the LIGHT of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH  [HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH . . . 17 For the law was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14.

Therefore, be assured that there may be SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, there’s hope in God – for your SPIRITUAL WELLBEING in the grace.

Blessed regards.

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

THE LOVING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE LOVING OF GOD: WILL CAUSE ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER FOR YOUR GOOD AND PERSONAL REVELATION!

“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” Romans 8:28.

“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

Love is the working essence of all things for your good with God. If you want all things – good [good times] or bad [challenging and difficult times] – to work together for your good, then start loving God in spirit [in hearts hearts] and in truth [in His Word]. That’s the earnest way to offer to God worship that’s worthily and services that’s acceptably in the grace.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit [hearts] and in truth [the word]” John 4:19-24/Emphasis Mine.

Loving God should be a deliberate and intentional conscious act from your hearts [human spirit] and not in your heads; and you need to know full well and with the understanding that God’s love is only poured or shared abundantly in human spirit [heart] by the Holy Spirit for a genuine expression of God’s love – Romans 5:5, 8. And the acknowledgement of the above stated knowing and understanding, will cause all things to work for your good, as you can only make meaningful worship of God from your hearts of love towards Him. That’s how God can cause you to live for purpose and reveal the you to you, for a meaningful and purposeful living and loving in the grace. For the Spirit of God gives man the breath of life and the understanding of life – Zoe, the eternal [eternity] being of man toward God in humanity.

“But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4.

Material instruments as Stethoscope, Scan devices, X-ray and such like more, may be useful in human endeavours, yet you can’t detect the human spirit, because the human spirit is eternal and not earthly [bodily] though it dwells in your body. Simply put, the spirit of a man is the candle or lamp of the Lord, searching and watching all the inner depths of his heart, hence only can by all means worship God. For the man in the human, is a spirit being [eternal], it has a soul [consciousness of the will and intuition and intellect] and lives in the body [flesh]. And only by God’s word in human spirit, can the tripartite [triune] being can be detected separately and together at the same time].

“The spirit of man is the candle [lamp] of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly [being]” Proverbs 20:27/Emphasis mine.

“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 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick [alive], and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13/Emphasis mine..

For Faith pleases God and Faith only functions by Love, and when Faith towards God is essence by Love, you’ve gotten hold of God for the release of His blessings upon you. It’s by the faith that pleases God working through love, is the hallmark way to live beyond walls by God in spirit and truth. And the faith that overcomes and brings about victory and triumph in the grace becomes one’s reality’s in the grace in Christ Jesus stead.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by [through] love” Galatians 5:6/Emphasis mine.

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“For 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.

If you are desiring God’s BLESSEDNESS – just LOVE God; for ALL THINGS will work together for your GOODNESS, GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Beloved reader, I encourage you in the now and today, to start Loving God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; BUT FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“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.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

BEING DISCIPLINED THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE

By Leave a Comment

BEING DISCIPLINED THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE: IT’S GOD’S LOVE PACT FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN!

“And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?” Hebrews 12:5-7.

God LOVES You – you must ENDURE His DISCIPLINES when it SHOWS up – it’s for your OWN good and goodness in Christ Jesus stead. For God only discipline those He loves to bring out the best out of them for their fruitful character and behaviour in the grace. Discipline is God’s way of pruning us to be fruitful inn His will and purpose.

“I am the true vine, and my father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT HE TAKETH AWAY: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may BRING FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINED. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He loves, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it does matter, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE them, except they are bastards or illegitimate children, which you are not.

“If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons” Hebrews 12:7-8.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead; and for any reason that you detailed anyway, may you be able to take on the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in every way. 1 John 1:5-10.

God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in His love through discipline in the grace and faith our Saviour, Lord and King, Jesus Christ. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine).

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls.  4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons.  9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live?  10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness.  11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10 Amplified.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON – EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS? Then be HAPPY, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it GROW, and don’t try to SQUIRM OUT of your problems. For when your PATIENCE is finally in FULL BLOOM, then you will be READY for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4/Living Bible [TLB].

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand of  such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER. For being steadfastly and diligence and patience, in the grace through faith, so will God cause to have access to our promise inheritance in Him.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12/Emphasis Mine.

There’s the need to know full well and be assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is to say, there’s an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you ARE assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“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.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT.

I pray that our good and faithful, true and sure God, will keep you in grace and strengthen you courageously and keep you keeping on in faith, in Christ Jesus stead – until your BLESSEDNESS in Him is actualised meaningfully and purposefully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified).

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-3. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST in the FAITH, KNOWING THAT THE SAME AFFLICTIONS ARE ACCOMPLISHED IN YOUR BRETHREN THAT ARE IN THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12/Emphasis Mine.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; (for He is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 Cast Not Away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall LIVE by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the SAVING of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

DON’T JUST GIVE UP BASED ON YOUR HEALTH DETAILS

DON’T JUST GIVE UP BASED ON YOUR HEALTH DETAILS: PRAYERS CHANGES THINGS – YOU CAN LIVE AGAIN!
 
“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH, even as thy SOUL PROSPERETH” 3 John 1:2.
 
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in GOOD HEALTH [PHYSICALLY], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 1:2/AMP.
 
Don’t let your worlds come down before you when it’s within you to make the difference and change your dearly need. You can create the desired atmosphere you wants to see and enjoy in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, through making your own PRAYER WALL relevant with you toward God and toward Christ, by the Holy Spirit on the Word of God, and by Faith in the grace, as in your rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“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.
 
It’s time to TURN OFF any form or platform of DISTRACTIONS, then raise your PRAYER WALL and TURN YOUR FACE TOWARD God and TOWARD Christ Jesus, in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, for an ANSWER to your QUEST.
 
“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.
 
If Hezekiah could change the COURSE of his HEALTH sentence history that was certified unto death, and that of his City curse and REVERSE the eclipse of Sun that was once held back by Joshua, through PRAYER WALL, in turning off from human limitations and distraction, and turning toward God for an ANSWER, you can [Joshua 10:12-14]. I say you can because I know He’s the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. Amen. [Hebrews 13:8]. HE NEVER FAILS ME YET GOD, is who, whom, how, when, where and what I call Him. I have SEEN and EXPERIENCED and keep EXPERIENCING Him again and again, and He does things and keep doing awesome things now and always. Your case can’t make a difference to Him at all for Him to resolve it speedily if you let Him. And He will ANSWER you indeed. Amen.
 
“And said, If thou wilt DILIGENTLY hearken to the VOICE of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is RIGHT in his sight, and wilt give EAR to his commandments, and KEEP all his statutes, I will put NONE OF THESE DISEASES upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE” Exodus 15:26.
 
“And ye shall SERVE the Lord your God, and he shall BLESS thy bread, and thy water; and I will take SICKNESS away from the MIDST of thee. 26 There shall NOTHING CAST THEIR YOUNG, NOR BE BARREN, in thy land: the NUMBER OF THY DAYS I WILL FULFIL” Exodus 23:25-26.
 
Give it a go today – even now. Don’t give up. Don’t faint. Don’t go weary. Don’t submit to that deadly medical report. Take it up with God in Christ Jesus stead on your PRAYER WALL as Hezekiah did in his DISTRESS and FAILING CIRCUMSTANCE.
 
You can MAKE your difference, by the HOW TO DO IT as Hezekiah did – making and using your own – PRAYER WALL.
 
May God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS abound with you accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“In those days was Hezekiah SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, THUS SAITH THE LORD, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, REMEMBER now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have WALKED before thee IN TRUTH and with a PERFECT HEART, and have DONE THAT WHICH IS GOOD IN THY SIGHT. And Hezekiah WEPT SORE. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I HAVE HEARD THY PRAYER, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will ADD unto thy DAYS fifteen years. 6 And I will DELIVER thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will DEFEND this city. 7 And this shall be a SIGN unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8 [Parallel Scriptures: (2 Kings 20:1-11; 2 Chronicles 32:24-30)].
 
“Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord DELIVERED up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, STAND THOU STILL upon Gibeon; AND THOU, MOON, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And THE SUN STOOD STILL, and THE MOON STAYED, until the people had AVENGED themselves upon their ENEMIES. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel” Joshua 10:12-14.

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT

By Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN: BEING DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE WORTH IT – DON’T RUN AWAY!

“Better is an OPEN REPRIMAND [of LOVING CORRECTION] than LOVE that is HIDDEN [CONCEALED]. 6  Faithful are the WOUNDS of a friend [who CORRECTS out of LOVE and CONCERN], but the KISSES of an ENEMY are DECEITFUL [because they SERVE his hidden agenda]” Proverbs 27:5-6/Amplified.

I want to believe that you know that God has your best interests in heart’s at – any day, any where and any time. And that God LOVES you unconditionally too and irrespective. And so, are good and godly people towards you in every respective in Christ Jesus stead. And we ARE only being DISCIPLINED and CHASTISED and REPRIMANDED and REBUKED by God in Christ Jesus stead, ONLY on matters that are unscriptural, and of naughtiness, and of foolish behavioural manners contrary to the context of His will for us as His dear children, in order to bring about the good and goodness out of us.

And our ability to ENDURE God’s DISCIPLINES and CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – it’s for our OWN good and eternal VIRTUE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. God’s discipline [chastisement] is one aspects of the Christian faith in Christ Jesus, that many so-called Believer’s doesn’t want to reckon with; and especially when matters of LOVE pops up about them. And, when God have to use their heartfelt loving friends or colleagues or parents or any avenues deemed fit by Him to help them stand upright and strengthen up for their own good and goodness – they can’t and won’t fathom it until they found themselves in a messy place – because of their leaning on the deception and deceitfulness of the enemy and cohorts that only appeals to their sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For WHOM the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?” Hebrews 12:5-7.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE and CHASTISEMENTS. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He LOVES, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S  LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it DOES matter what you do privately and publicly, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE and CHASTISES them, except they choose to be bastards or illegitimate children, which you ARE not.

“If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons” Hebrews 12:7-8.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead; and for any reason that you detailed anyway, may you be able to take on the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in everyway. 1 John 1:5-10.

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls.  4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons.  9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live?  10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness.  11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10 Amplified.

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS – BE MORE THAN A DAY AND MOMENTARY EVENT

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS – BE MORE THAN A DAY AND MOMENTARY EVENT: MAKE IT YOUR DAILY EXPERIENCES IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah” Psalms 68:19.

The celebration and commemoration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth and His redemption cause on earth is what Christmas is all about. The act of Christmas should be a DAILY LIFE experience  and not just A DAY EVENT – Psalms 68:19. For God is set to crown the year with His goodness and abundance day by day, and not for only one time as in month December by the Christmas.

 “Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS” Psalms 65:11.

I know that as one live daily to acknowledge the purpose of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth, and His redemption cause on earth, the BENEFITS of God in this intent will accompany such an individual. That’s the essence of the awakening that THIS CHRISTMAS brings – A DAILY Experience and not a MOMENTARY experience. Hence, in your acts of CHRISTMAS – even This CHRISTMAS, it’s wise to make it your daily habits and benefits – it’s your rights in life in Christ Jesus stead. For God’s mercies and steadfast faithfulness in love for you and all are refreshing and new each day.

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.

It thus mean that God’s love intent for mankind in Christ Jesus at Christmas commemoration and celebration, should become a daily life DOING and EXPERIENCE; it should not become where you have to await for another year again to – look good about yourself, to put on gorgeous outfits, to appear elegant, to eat a very good healthy meal, to pay homage to family’s, friends and the love ones that you care about, to enjoy the best of God in life and to do many other charitable causes for fellow men as God have given you opportunity.

I pray you DAILY experience the goodness of God as you enact the essence of Christ Jesus in THIS CHRISTMAS, for our God do indeed CROWN the years with His goodness and abundance for our BLESSEDNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation” Psalms 68:19.

“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS. 12 They drop upon the PASTURES of the WILDERNESS: and the little HILLS rejoice on every side. 13 The PASTURES are clothed with FLOCKS; the VALLEYS also are COVERED over with CORN; they shout for JOY, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.

“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 3:12-15.
