IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS: THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN WORD! 

I love photos or pictorial info. I love video info. But the Written Info, surpassed them all in my worlds of grace and life. It takes the WRITTEN WORD to create the potential PICTURED WORD to BECOME the Motion and Kinetic VIDEO WORD. It’s simply for this knowing and Understanding: 

  • FAITH to do life with God comes by HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God – Romans 10:17. FAITH does not come by HAVING HEARD, but by the HEARING – present tense continuous. However, to be APPROVED of God of that FAITH, it comes by STUDYING the WRITTEN WORD of God. 
  • The acts to study and of studying requires READING, MEDITATING, which is PONDERING THROUGH the WRITTEN WORD and AFFIRMING the WRITTEN WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit until it takes hold of one’s total being. 
  • And as one begins to make a declaration, that is – testifying or proclaiming or announcing or professing and confessing of the affirmed WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit, we create the atmosphere and realms of the worlds of God, which we enjoy in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Hence, it’s at the WRITTEN WORD that the consciousness of the Living WORD which is the Revealed WORD comes, and through STUDY, it’s developed and transformed into the Incarnate WORD – The WORD that BECOMES FLESH, that’s, the reality, the tangible and the truth in real life terms, for one to enjoy in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Remember this, that Jesus in humanity said – “IT IS WRITTEN” (Matthew 4:1-11), and He did not say – “IT IS PICTORIAL or VIDEO FORMAT” to enable Him or any, put the enemy the Devil and cohorts at bay. It’s simply for the implication of the POWER of the WRITTEN WORD to other means of application to life communications which I don’t undermine at all. 

Therefore, don’t take the WRITTEN WORD for granted, simply because of the Picture, pictorial and Video format of the multimedia worlds; and if the WORD of God must be INCARNATE – a reality and tangible, in your life through FAITH, the WRITTEN WORD is the ANSWER. 

I am glad today for the AFD FEBRUARY EDITION, it’s out to feed on healthily as it’s entitled: THE FAITH THAT WORKS!

WHICH IS YOUR TAKE TODAY

WHICH IS YOUR TAKE TODAY: GOD’S APPROVAL OR MEN APPLAUD! 

Many times, as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, we are crazy about peoples APPLAUD rather than awaiting God to APPROVE us in what we’ve done or about to do or already doing. Majority of the time, the same men or people who once applauded us become the ones who runs us down and bring us to places of shame and disgrace again. Hence, you see SOME people who are absolutely crazy of comments or APPROVAL and can’t move forward without validation, until they see WORTH in themselves. 

We are not to get DEFINED or moved ABOUT by the OPINIONS of others. It’s simply for this truth -as Christ disciples, we must await God’s APPROVAL in Christ Jesus, which was and is His own acts of LEGACY with the Father God, while in humanity. The reason being that the Father God will always COMMEND and makes provision for whatever He COMMANDS and gives His APPROVAL signature upon.  

Therefore, I exhort you today to Firstly seek DIVINE APPROVAL before MEN’S APPLAUSE takes over you in anything. For when you are DIVINELY APPROVED, He will cause you to be APPLAUDED by and before men in course of time, with ease, effortlessly and without questions, stress, and pressure. 

Also, there’s a need to STUDY to be APPROVED before God unto men. Meaning you should ENSURE to be TRAINED and SKILLED in your TRADE, wherein you are unquestionable. For whom the Lord God has APPROVED, no man can DISDAIN or DISANNUL. For a gracious, graceful and awesome APPROVAL, it is in the KNOWING, hence, STUDY to be APPROVED. In other words, STUDY to KNOW and be EQUIPPED in your TRADE well enough, so that you will not falter, fail or be disgraced overtime due to IGNORANCE – LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. You NEED TO STUDY TO BE, that is – TO BECOME! 

BE BLESSED by God’s GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED. 

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22. 

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing (applying) the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 Emphasis mine).

YOUR CHOICE

YOUR CHOICE: GOD’S APPROVAL or PEOPLES APPLAUSE. Which is your stake today?  

“Ye men of Israel, HEAR THESE WORDS; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders andx signs, which God DID by him in the MIDST of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22. 

Many times, as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, we are crazy about peoples APPLAUD rather than awaiting God to APPROVE us in what we’ve done or about to do or already doing. Majority of the time, the same people who once applauded us are the ones who will RUN us down and BRING us to the PLACES of shame and disgrace again. SOME PEOPLE are absolutely crazy for APPLAUSE, comments or not, before they can see WORTH in themselves, regardless of the context or decisions they’ve made.  

Know this: as believers in Christ Jesus, we are not to get DEFINED or M OVED by the OPINIONS of others. As Christ DISCIPLES, AMBASSADOR’S and EMBASSY, we await God’s APPROVAL in Christ Jesus, the ultimate LEGACY He shared with the Father God while in humanity. The reason been that the Father God will always COMMEND and make PROVISION for whatever He COMMANDS and gives His APPROVAL signature upon it in His time – that’s the how to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Therefore, I exhort you today to seek DIVINE APPROVAL first, before letting MEN’S APPLAUSE take over in anything. When you are DIVINELY APPROVED, He will cause you to be APPLAUDED by men in due time, with ease and without stress, pressure, or questions- just as it was in Christ Jesus [Acts 2:22] 

There’s a need to STUDY to be APPROVED before God and men, ENSURING you’re LEARNED, TRAINED, and SKILLED in your TRADE, thereby becoming unquestionable without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation. For whom the Lord God APPROVES, no man can DISDAIN or DISANNUL. For a gracious, graceful and awesome APPROVAL [APPLAUSE], it’s about KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING – hence, STUDY to be APPROVED. The WISDOM to live life and walk in godliness in Christ Jesus stead comes from applying KNOWLEDGE. You become a VICTIM and PREY only in IGNORANCE leading to stupidity and foolishness. Emancipate yourself today for a God-centred APPROVAL by STUDYING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s CONTEXT through His Holy writ WORD, in any subject of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING [APPLYING] the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine. 

It’s very important if you must attain and sustain to that onward and upward trajectory, that you STUDY to KNOW, UNDERSTAND and be EQUIPPED in your TRADE, and be INFORMED well enough to make INFORMED decisions, so that you will not falter, fail or be disgraced and disapproved overtime due to IGNORANCE [LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING] of that your acclaimed notable CAREER, TRADE, PROFESSION and SUBJECT in question and other such like. You NEED to STUDY TO BE, that is – HOW TO BECOME in life and grace in Christ Jesus.  

BE BLESSED by God’s GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED.

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]; IT’S ABOUT LIVING IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!  

“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 . . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him: neither can he KNOW them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. 15 But he that is SPIRITUAL JUDGE [EXAMINE] all things, yet he himself is JUDGED [EXAMINE] of no man. 16 For who hath KNOWN THE MIND of the Lord, that he may INSTRUCT him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. 

When Apostle Paul was writing to the mixed multitude Corinthians Church that’s so gifted, as the scripture does indicates that thy lack not behind in spiritual gifting [1 Corinthians 1:7], and yet they were swimming with various vices; he then sensed of their lack of knowledge, and their inability to understand and comprehend spiritual things that they were endowed and endued with to function in the grace. For they were so gifted, but their inability to decipher the spiritual man from the natural man that has been reborn [redeemed] was concerning to him; and more so, they were filled with the Holy Spirit of revelation, which is for them to articulate the mind of God in wisdom – where wisdom is the application of knowledge. It thus means, being gifted without operating in wisdom to bring it forth into a reality  

In 1 Corinthians 2:1-8, he wrote to them as to us of today of the necessity to live by God’s wisdom if we must excel and be exceptional in living above the conscript of the princes of this world in their unwise way of not able to know the mind of God concerning the cross of human redemption until Christ Jesus by the rugged cross of crucifixion SAVED [REDEEMED] us. And in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, he made known of how the Holy Spirit can reveal to us the mind of God on things about us that no eyes have seen, ears have not heard or neither has entered into the heart of any man knowingly, because of the love for God within us for Him. And Apostle Paul concluded, that by the virtue of our spiritual [reborn] disposition over the natural [unborn] dispositions, we have the MIND of Christ Jesus, to examine and make wise judgement in decisions in the grace over anything. That’s what makes the CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to take hold of us and make us walk in the wisdom of God that transcends and surpasses the wisdom of this world [1 Corinthians 2:1-8]. For Christ Jesus in us, is the wisdom of God and the power of God [1 Corinthians 1:18-24, 30] to enable us do life and live godly with God’s speed in His stead, in this present world. 

And it’s for the consciousness of making the day to day wise judgement as the reborn of God, we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, to always examine [make self judgement of] ourselves if we are still on track with the MIND of Christ Jesus in our day to day decision, as we do life and live in godliness – except we ARE reprobates [hardened, unexamined, unprincipled], but we ARE not reprobates as Believers of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“EXAMINE yourselves, whether ye be in the FAITH; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is IN you, except ye be REPROBATES? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we ARE NOT REPROBATES” 2 Corinthians 13:5-6. 

And Apostle Paul was able to X-ray and charge the Philippians Church in Philippians 2:1-11, with a taste of what it means and takes to have the MIND of Christ Jesus in a different perspective and context from the Corinthians Church. He spoke to them and to us of the essence to cultivate – the spirit of consolation, of comfort, of fellowship, of mercies, of oneness, of one mind of humility of respect to esteem others and such like. He likened it to the MIND of Christ Jesus toward God while in humanity, that earned Him the exaltation of the Father God wherein for today and always for all eternity, that at the NAME of Jesus, His NAME becomes ANSWER to all human QUEST; and His NAME is above all names that all mankind must BOW and KNEE to at the mentioning of the name, as He earned from the Father God without controversy. What an attribute. What a priceless tag. What a life to live in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]. That’s what the MIND of Christ Jesus can reproduce in us as we walk in His mind context and default in us – for we have the mind of Christ Jesus as a default in the reborn spirit of our salvation. Make it a living consciousness for you and all about you that are reborn – the New Creation as written: 

“If there be therefore ANY CONSOLATION in Christ, if ANY COMFORT of love, if ANY FELLOWSHIP of the Spirit, if ANY BOWELS AND MERCIES, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be LIKEMINDED, having the same love, being of ONE ACCORD, of ONE MIND. 3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in LOWLINESS OF MIND let each ESTEEM other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

I therefore say to you to live in your onward and upward trajectory, in the consciousness of knowing that you have the MIND OF CHRIST JESUS, and you can by the indwelling Holy Spirit judge [examine] rightly all things by the scriptural default in context unlike the natural man [unborn] in Christ Jesus. Stop living in self-defeat as one who can’t make wise judgement on things and always beckoning on others to make private and personal decisions for you while being deceived always as a prey and victim for this agent of darkness. And it’s unfortunate that many have become vulnerable to a fault in many ways to such a crafty, cunning and devouring false brethren that have creeped in to steal, kill and destroy as many innocent ones in the faith as they are cohorts of satan that appears and camouflaged as brethren. 

Today, reboot your mind and reset it to synchronise your spirit being and be transformed by the WORD of God that can refresh and renew your mind to begin a new consciousness of having the Mind of Christ Jesus as a reborn child of God, that no man can deceive any more. This will help you to wisely ARTICULATE and PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God for your well-being as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ACCEPTABLE unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 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 12:1-2. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT] the old man, which is CORRUPT according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be RENEWED in the spirit of YOUR MIND; 24 and that ye PUT ON the new man, which after God is CREATED in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUE HOLINESS” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

I pray that you become what God’s WORD says you ARE and can be, without a shadow of turning, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. I want you to say it repeatedly until it begins to take hold of you by all means: “I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” in me.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on 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 with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV. 

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29. 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27. 

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed, is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15. 

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21. 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provide to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path that God made for them to BECOME, both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and the fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH”  2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequence as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the society at large, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search for solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history, and unfulfilled aspirations, and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around, in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellious acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within, or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

WHEN YOU PRAY: PRAY IN WISDOM!

God will only answer to a PURPOSEFUL demand – His answering ensures His POWER and GRACE to enable one to FUNCTION and to BECOME – in Christ Jesus stead.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH (RIGHT TO THE GRACE TO BECOME) unto him whom he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should BE with him, and that he might SEND (MISSION) them forth to PREACH (PURPOSE), 15 and to have POWER (ENABLING TO FUNCTION) to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE – ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channelled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavour to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life, and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. In same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good, meaningfully and fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So, PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS

By Leave a Comment

IT IS WRITTEN – THE FAITH THAT WORKS: THE POWER OF THE WRITTEN WORD!

I love photo or pictorial info. I love video info. But the Written Info, surpassed them all in my worlds of grace and life. It takes the WRITTEN WORD to create the potential PICTURED WORD to BECOME the Motion and Kinetic VIDEO WORD. It’s simply for this knowing and Understanding:

** FAITH to do life with God comes by HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God – Romans 10:17. FAITH does not come by HAVING HEARD, but by the HEARING – present tense continuous. However, to be APPROVED of God of that FAITH, it comes by STUDYING the WRITTEN WORD of God.

** The acts to study and of studying requires – READING, MEDITATING which is PONDERING THROUGH the WRITTEN WORD and AFFIRMING the WRITTEN WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit until it takes hold of one’s total being.

** And as one begins to make a declaration, that is – testifying or proclaiming or announcing or professing and confessing of the affirmed WORD in our human spirit by the Holy Spirit, we create the atmosphere and realms of the worlds of God, which we enjoy in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Hence, it’s at the WRITTEN WORD that the consciousness of the Living WORD which is the Revealed WORD comes, and through STUDY, it’s developed and transformed into the Incarnate WORD – The WORD that BECOMES FLESH, that’s, the reality, the tangible and the truth in real life terms, for one to enjoy in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember this, that Jesus in humanity said – “IT IS WRITTEN” (Matthew 4:1-11), and He did not say – “IT IS PICTORIAL or VIDEO FORMAT” to enable Him or any, put the enemy the Devil and cohorts at bay. It’s simply for the implication of the POWER of the WRITTEN WORD to other means of application to life communications which I don’t undermine at all.

Therefore, don’t take the WRITTEN WORD for granted, simply because of the Picture, pictorial and Video format of the multimedia worlds; and if the WORD of God must be INCARNATE – a reality and tangible, in your life through FAITH, the WRITTEN WORD is the ANSWER.

YOUR CHOICE – WHICHEVER IS YOUR STAKE TODAY

YOUR CHOICE – WHICHEVER IS YOUR STAKE TODAY: GOD’S APPROVAL OR PEOPLE’S APPLAUD – ON YOU!

“Ye men of Israel, HEAR THESE WORDS; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God DID by him in the MIDST of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

Many times, as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, we are crazy about people’s APPLAUD rather than awaiting God to APPROVE us in what we’ve done or about to do or already doing. Majority of time the same men or people who for once applaud or applauded us, becomes the very ones who RUNS us down and BRINGS us to the PLACES of shame and disgrace again. Hence you see SOME PEOPLE are absolutely crazy of comments or no comments about their intent to win or have or get an APPLAUSE before they see a WORTH in themselves and whatever context they are making or have made a decision.

Know full well that in Christ Jesus, we are not to get DEFINE or move ABOUT by the DETAILING of others. It’s simply for this truth – That’s as Christ DISCIPLES,  AMBASSADOR’S and EMBASSY, we must always awaits God’s APPROVAL in Christ Jesus, which was and is His own act of LEGACY with the Father God, while in humanity. The reason been that the Father God will always COMMENDS and make PROVISION for whatever He COMMANDS and gives His APPROVAL signature upon it in His time – that’s the how to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I exhort you today to Firstly seek DIVINE APPROVAL before you let MEN’S APPLAUD APPLAUSE] take over you in anything. For when you are DIVINELY APPROVED, He will cause you to be APPLAUDED by and before men in course of time, with ease, effortless and without questions, stress and pressure as it was in Christ Jesus [Acts 2:22]

Also, there’s the need to STUDY to be APPROVED before God unto men. Meaning you should ENSURE to be, LEARNED, TRAINED and SKILLED in your TRADE wherein you will unquestionable without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For whom the Lord God APPROVED, no man can DISDAIN or DISANNUL. For a gracious, graceful and awesome APPROVAL [APPLAUSE], it is in the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING, hence STUDY to be APPROVED, for the WISDOM to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead is in the application of KNOWLEDGE. You become a VICTIM and PREY only in IGNORANCE leading to stupidity and foolishness. Emancipate yourself today for a God-centered APPROVAL by STUDYING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s CONTEXT through His holy writ WORD, in any subject of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING [APPLYING] the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.

It’s very important if you must attain and sustain to that onward and upward trajectory, that you STUDY to  KNOW, UNDERSTAND and be EQUIPPED in your TRADE, and be INFORMED well enough to make INFORMED decisions, so that you will not falter, fail or be  disgraced and disapproved overtime due to IGNORANCE [LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING] of that your acclaimed notable CAREER, TRADE, PROFESSION and SUBJECT in question and other such like. You NEED to STUDY TO BE, that is – HOW TO BECOME in life and grace in Christ Jesus.

BE BLESSED by God’s GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]: IT’S ABOUT HAVING GOD’S APPROVAL AND NOT MEN’S APPLAUD [HYPER]!

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it” Acts 2:22-24.

There’s nothing as dangerous as endeavouring to win favour outside the context of anything that has a stand – an ethics and etiquette – that worth priceless. As I have said in some writ, when you take a text out of a context, it becomes a con – and we all know when someone becomes a con person, con artist, conman and such like, we all will naturally distance ourselves from anyone who is already known to be a con in such spheres of doing life except you share in such person acts of behavioural bargains. If we can be able to distance ourselves, how much more when such it’s in conflict with God’s Scriptural CONTEXT and INSTRUCTIONS to our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God does not share His glory with mortal men in their hyper and applaud:

“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 [APPLAUSE, HYPER], 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 [DIED]” Acts 12:20-23.

There are many out there who will do anything outside the book to get the applause that men can give them to enable them outdo and undo others – and you can see it in places of doing life – workspaces, factory, business transaction, family circles, Church leadership position, government Offices and other expected civic places that’s – nongovernmental and many such like. For this kind of behaviour, Apostle Paul warned, charged and exhorted young Bishop Timothy, to note that leadership position for example it’s not for self-gains and should not be taken lightly; and people should not for any human reasons on selfish applause be placed in places they are not qualified to be otherwise it will undermine God’s authority and misplaced priority in honouring and magnifying God’s WORD that’s above all things as God had done.

“I CHARGE thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ELECT angels, that thou OBSERVE these things without PREFERRING one before another, doing nothing by PARTIALITY. 22 LAY HANDS SUDDENLY ON NO MAN, neither be PARTAKER of other MEN’S SINS: keep thyself PURE” 1 Timothy 5:21-22.

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your name!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.

It’s of this emboldened spirit of getting God’s APPROVAL in all things in context and not just on somethings, that Apostle Peter was speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 2:22-24. He was giving an admonishment about our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – who is the author and finisher of our faith [Hebrews 12:2], and who is our God’s given and living example in doing God’s kingdom business in our earthly affairs [Hebrews 1:1-4], and by whom we ARE God’s ambassador on earth – to note how He ensured that He RECEIVED God’s APPROVAL and not men APPLAUSE, to do God’s given purpose and assignments in humanity [Luke 2:1-2, 14, 16-18, 22]. Jesus Christ cause in humanity was always to get God’s APPROVAL [intent] in every step because He knows, it must always be of the FATHER’S WILL to be done and not MEN’S WILL for egotism, self-gratification and self-centeredness and such like.

“. . . 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear WITNESS of me . . . 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him” John 10:22-38.

Apostle Paul had in his keen interest for us to live through God’s approval and signature in all we do to fulfil purpose and life, in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE. He then charged the Believers of God as you and me and as to Timothy, to endeavour to STUDY, to enable us get God’s APPROVAL [SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT] to a cause, so that we can be able to rightly apply the word of God appropriately in all matters of doing life and living godly. And to be embroidered to stand up against the enemy and cohorts voices when they show up too. For pure wisdom to do life and live godly is the application of knowledge. And where there’s no knowledge of a thing, it’s not only that IGNORANCE WILL PREVAIL, people will ABUSE PURPOSE of the intended. People had abused their relationship [spouses, children, family, friendship] for the lack of knowledge to the cause and context; people had abused position of leadership and authority for lack of knowledge of the context; people do evil and wickedness as abusers to undermine others especially toward the vulnerable and such like because of the lack of the knowledge to the context of the cause; you can name lots of places abuse have taken place or happening right now because of the stupidity and foolishness born out of ignorance to a cause [purpose] – and it’s all for the lack of wisdom – application of knowledge to such cause.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING [APPLYING, HANDLING] the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.

God wants us to live a life of CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to enable us be His true ambassador for Christ. And being God’s representative on earth [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:15-18; Psalms 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:20], is not limited to a particular person or nation but to all who intend to do God’s purpose in RIGHTEOUSNESS; meaning those who wants to get on His APPROVED context and not in men trying to use UNRIGHTEOUSNESS to get His APPROVAL for their APPLAUSE. For Gods glory is not to be shared with men. This is the caution and exhortations that Apostle Peter gives of God’s openness to all as He’s not a respecter of men; while Apostle Paul also in a different respective context gave a dire warning to the Believers who wants to be on God’s good book and purpose not to dare God, by using the unrighteousness cause of men to an approval and signature to get God’s righteous approved cause.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who KNOWING the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18, 32.

Therefore, knowing the danger and wrath of working through men’s crazy approval cause to make you feel important and good while you know you are going to face God’s wrath, why not today, even now, resolved intentionally and pragmatically, to do God’s approved purpose in context unreservedly, by STUDYING the WORD of God like the Berea Christian of Acts 17:10-12 and by taking up Apostle Paul exhortation to Timothy as written in 1 Timothy 4:14-17. These will make you to walk in wisdom – rightly applying the word through knowledge.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto BEREA: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

“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 [MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE], throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will not struggle in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], as you do life by ensuring and assuring God’s approval is what’s always in your top heartfelt without men’s approval to your being God’s true Ambassador for Christ.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on 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 with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT  WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provides to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self-discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to  SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path of God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Not that we are SUFFICIENTLY QUALIFIED in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our SUFFICIENCY and QUALIFICATIONS come from God. 6 He has QUALIFIED us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life” 2 Corinthians 3:5-6 (Amplified).

“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are FALLEN unto me in PLEASANT PLACES; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE” Psalms 16:5-6.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”  2 Peter 1:2-4.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED him NOT as God, neither were THANKFUL; but became VAIN in their imaginations, and their FOOLISH heart was darkened . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT  . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18-32.
