THE ESSENCE – THE NEED TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE – THE NEED TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN THE FAITH: IN ORDER TO BECOME WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE FAITH IN THE STEAD OF CHRIST JESUS.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave he power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

The scripture gives an open check to all to come and RECEIVE Christ Jesus in their life in order to BECOME the sons of God. And this is accredited on the basis of the essence to see the need to BELIEVE in Him. For in Christ Jesus stead lies only the basis of the Faith to usher in any to become the sons of God; and sons of God here indicates a non-gender, a basis of having the power [enabling, ability, capacity] to enact and authenticate authoritatively the rights and privileges in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead – STAND IN THE FAITH. Hence, there’s the need to BECOME WHOM and to BECOME WHAT you BELIEVE IN THE FAITH in the stead of Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2]. And to have one BECOME WHOM and WHAT one BELIEVES of God in Christ Jesus stead is paramount IN THE FAITH as exemplified in the Matthew 9:27-30

Scriptural Context:

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU [BECOME “WHAT” YOU BELIEVE FOR AND “WHOM” YOU BELIEVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN]. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

  1. BECOME WHOM YOU BELIEVE – [John 1:12-14, 17].
  2. BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE – [Matthew 9:28-29 (27-31)].

TWO DISTINCTION – TO BELIEVE ON HIM AND TO BELIEVE IN HIM:

There is two-mark Distinctions in respect to BELIEVE/BELIEVING in order to RECEIVE of God to BECOME what you believe and whom you believe. There’s the BELIEVING ON Him and the BELIEVING IN Him. You need to know that, to BELIEVE ON HIM and to BELIEVE IN Him, for the BLESSEDNESS of Him in this context, speaks of God’s graciousness that’s expressed and being expressed in Christ Jesus. In other words, BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME] toward the Father God, is not the same but are both important in our REDEMPTION REALITIES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

[a] TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]:

For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM. [1 John 3:23; John 1:12-13; John 3:18; Acts 16:30-34; John 12:46; 1 John 3:23].

[b] TO BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]:

For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], thus means to believe in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of the Kingdom to advance and to keep the enemy at bay; this is about and toward a BELIEVER receiving the POWER of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere, wherein the Believing one, is depending and looking up [enacting and authenticating] for the help of God, in order to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness. [John 2:23; Matthew 18:6 (Mark 9:42); Mark 11:24-26; John 14:1, 9-11; Titus 3:8].

THE ESSENCES [ESSENTIALS] TO BELIEVE AND BELIEVING:

  1. It HELPS to differentiate from Satan the devils and the cohorts kind of trembling believe – [James 2:19].
  2. It HELPS to access the kingdom of God – have eternal life and to avoid condemnation/damnation – [John 3:16-18; Mark 16:15-16 (1 John 5:11-12; John 17:3; Acts 20:29-21)].
  3. It HELPS to ensure and assure to the basis of faith to operate by the WORD – [Romans 10:8-10, 17].
  4. It HELPS the Believer’s to access their complete salvation and to be accompanied along with signs and wonders that happens by the WORD – [Mark 16:15-20].
  5. It HELPS to give the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, the access to the baptism of the Holy Spirit – [John 7:37-39; Acts 19:1-7 [Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5-8; Acts 10:44-48].
  6. It HELPS to come to God in Christ Jesus and to ensure the faith that pleases God is set in motion for God’s reward – [Hebrews 11:6].
  7. It HELPS to give one the enabling opportunity to hold unto the promise of God and to help ensure that the promises of God come to one’s reality also – [Romans 4:16-25; Galatians 3:6-9].
  8. It HELPS to ensure and assure the basis for the preaching of the Gospel without – [Romans 10:14-17].
  9. It HELPS to ensure and assure the result oriented PRAYERS in the Believer’s stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Matthew 21:22; Mark 11:20-24.
  10. It thus HELPS in so many and such like way – that pertains to life and godliness on this note but not limited: Wherever and whenever the MATTERS of FAITH is mentioned in the Bible, always have in mind, that BELIEVE and BELIEVING it’s at work even if it’s not mentioned directly and literally and in silence. For God does nothing without a believe and believing hearts to ensure and assure His word operates unhindered for results.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave he power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

“He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:18.

BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Mark 11:24-26.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE ALSO IN me. . . . 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake” John 14:1, 9-11.

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have BELIEVED IN God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men” Titus 3:8.

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

In course of time, I have seen how some people just wants to wake up in the Christian faith stand in Christ Jesus, and wants everything to be just readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost and without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead. Some wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, get there expecting a perfect sitting set, music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set and such like as may be applicable to make them have a beautiful atmosphere and environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there.

And as far as these set of Believer’s are concerned, they are to play no single act of BELONGING to the set Church they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, – all they care about is to see that the needed atmosphere and environment to ensure that everyone hands is involved to make good and done collectively with the hearts of BELONGING is set – such can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in becoming.

The Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, 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 1:12-14.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, 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 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters

By Leave a Comment

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to SAY “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT age, 13 while we WAIT for the BLESSED hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine.

We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO God for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life.

Am here to let you know that it’s a high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy.

You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology of what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty.

“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine.

Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to –  save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity.

It’s a more gracious  graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help any where you can, without guilt and shame at any point.

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is for to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD.

“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19].

My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detrimental. I am NOT saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine.

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH.

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.

BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD.

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

In course of time, I have seen how some people just want to wake up in the Christian faith, stand in Christ Jesus, and wants everything to be just readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost and without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead. Some want to wake up on a Church gathering services day, get there expecting a perfect sitting set, music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set and such like as may be applicable to make them have a beautiful atmosphere and environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there.

And as far as these set of Believer’s are concerned, they are to play no single act of BELONGING to the set Church they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, – all they care about is to see that the needed atmosphere and environment to ensure that everyone hands is involved to make good and done collectively with the hearts of BELONGING is set – such can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in becoming.

The Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, 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 1:12-14.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skilfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, 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 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

“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 4:31, 33.

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

“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 4:31, 33.

“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.

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

“For the WORD of God is quick, 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.

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

Glorious, Gracious and Graceful POSITION

Glorious, Gracious and Graceful POSITION – Is Your PLACE Of Grace: A Life BEYOND Limits!

“A GLORIOUS high throne from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY” Jeremiah 17:12.

The sky is such big that two birds can hardly collide or worried of space. Hence there’s no room for jealousy or limitation. You are LIMITED when you STAY FOCUS in the CROWDED PLACE, that is, on the ground where there’s no VISION, DILIGENCE and PURPOSE. Look up and behold your great place of salvation where all things are possible.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who LOVE God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/AMP.

When you set your being on the glorious, gracious and graceful place wherein Christ had made you free, there would be no room for unwelcome entanglement, limitation, envy, hypocrisy and jealousy and such like.

You are REDEEMED in GRACE – positioned and conditioned to SUCCEED In LIFE and GODLY Living by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, rise up, dress up on your NEW you in God by Christ Jesus – doing life and living godly, in the fulness of what you are born of God to become meaningfully in purpose and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY (FREEDOM) wherewith Christ hath MADE us free, and be not ENTANGLED again with the yoke of BONDAGE (LIMITATIONS)” Galatians 5:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God” Ephesians 2:6-8.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he RAISED him from the dead, and SET him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BLESSED OF GOD: ENOUGH OF THE UNNECESSARY WORRIES AND ANXIETIES OF ‘ESSESS!

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

If you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT this scriptural truth in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining, worries and anxieties. And to be BLESSED means to be EMPOWERED to – Succeed, Achieve, Triumph, Become, Create, Earn, Have, Prosper, Innovate and to be Favoured and such like more. And THE BLESSING of God is SORROW FREE.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKES rich, and he ADDS no SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

The BLESSING of God is not a CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE; but it’s the ENABLING, BESTOWED and EMPOWERING GRACE of God to create, earn and acquire these aforementioned (CAR, PROPERTY (LAND/BUILDING), MONEY, WEALTH, RICHES, POSITION and MORE), which most people today do fight and go crazy about no matter the cost and prize tag involved in having or getting them – (Luke 12:30-32/Matthew 6:31-34). And by these enabling, bestowed and empowering grace called – God’s BLESSING, you can create, earn and have the aforementioned in grace without such SWEAT, STRESS, DISTRESS, DEPRESSION and ALL ‘ESSESS because you KNOW and UNDERSTAND the HOW to appropriate and enact what it means to be BLESSED of God in REDEMPTION.

Your BLESSEDNESS is a DONE DEED in Christ. This makes you MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION. Our BLESSEDNESS is first spiritual before it becomes tangible – that’s reality – physical. Your ability to appropriate and enact the BLESSEDNESS by FAITH from the realm of the spiritual, that is, in the heavenly placement wherein the BLESSEDNESS are located (Ephesians 1:3), and Christ is position and seated (Ephesians 1:20) and we are position and seated in Christ Jesus at the right hand of God the Father (Ephesians 2:6). Knowing and having this understanding justifies why we are enjoined to lay our TREASURES above, meaning, in the heavenly, where no thieves and such like can access (Matthew 6:19-21).

The New Creation BLESSEDNESS of the NEW TESTAMENT, is not condition and not in any conditionality as in the OLD TESTAMENT essence that’s built and synthesised with conditionalities of an “IF” before you can access the BLESSEDNESS of God – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Revelation 5:9-12; Deuteronomy 28:1-14. For Christ Jesus in our REDEMPTION took care of the conditionalities of the old. So, let no man put you under subjection and subjective situation before your can earn your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead after you’ve born anew as New Creation.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED us with ALL spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“And it shall come to pass, IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them . . .”  Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

Therefore, APPROPRIATE and ENACT the scriptural TRUTH in your PRAYERS, I promise you in Christ, you will cease from all those complaining,worries and anxieties and begin to enjoin your REDEMPTION provisions in Christ Jesus stead.

Have a BLESSED (an EMPOWERED) day. And be emboldened to say to somebody today – “YOU ARE BLESSED” – Meaning, Be EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

YOU ARE BLESSED – JUST APPROPRIATE AND ENACT IT IN GRACE TODAY.

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (EBABLING, CAPACITY, GRACE, WISDOM) to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 (GODLY LIVING), through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED us to GLORY and VURTUE: 4 whereby are GIVEB 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.

“Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY places” Ephesians 1:20.

“And hath RAISED us up together, and made us sit together in HEAVENLY places in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 6:19-20.

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”: THROUGH THE “KNOWLEDGE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as TOUCHED were MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE” Matthew 14:34-36.

“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 4:31, 33.

Lots of Believer’s supposedly in the Faith of Christ Jesus stead, are living outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD; many are MORE captivated and influenced by the religious and denominational rites and doctrinal ordinances as they strictly adhere and follow without check and balance – which is through the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus stead. For the Scriptures makes it very clear that not ALL HAVE FAITH in the FAITH in Christ Jesus – meaning not all have their spirit being built upon the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus, which principle CONTEXT is of the WORD of God that builds and establishes the FAITH in all that comes to God in Christ Jesus. Amen – 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (1-4); Romans 10:17; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:8-12; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

I want you to know full well, that it’s the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH that one possess within, that sets one FREE – SAVES, DELIVERS and LIBERATES – from all forms of limitations and restrictions and bondages outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD. John 8:32; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Acts 4:12.

And through KNOWLEDGE you communicate the WORD OF FAITH to matters.  it’s only by communicating the WORD OF FAITH to MATTERS of doing life and living godly through the KNOWLEDGE of the GOOD did, that’s DONE and DEED in Christ Jesus, that brings genuine liberty and freedom, that all seeks to attain and possess,  in order to be fulfilled in God, in Christ Jesus stead –  Philemon 1:4-6; Romans 10:8-13, 17.

“Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I PROFIT you, except I shall SPEAK to you either by REVELATION, or by KNOWLEDGE, or by PROPHESYING, or by DOCTRINE? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be KNOWN what is piped or harped?” 1 Corinthians 14:6-7.

Many are in captivity and in various self-afflicted bondage for their lack of PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE which indeed is dangerous, jeopardous and worrisome each time I recall – how many SUFFERED in the Bible days as written:

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thought shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

Besides, the indicative of the above mentioned scriptures, many also, are working and walking in ERRORS and are been MISTAKEN for lack of KNOWLEDGE as it affects the path of doing life and living godly as the religious SADDUCEES where, in the days of Christ Jesus humanity, as it’s written.

“The same day came to Him (Jesus Christ) the SADDUCEES, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (IN ERROR AND MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I plead with you today to get engrossed with doing life and godly living THROUGH KNOWLEDGE for these but not limited reasons:

** DELIVERANCE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

” . . . but THROUGH KNOWLEDGE shall the just be DELIVERED” Proverbs 11:9.

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

** GRACE AND PEACE, DIVINE POWER AND DIVINE NATURE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“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

** TO ESCAPE POLLUTION OF THE WORLD – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“For if after they have ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS of the world THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” 2 Peter 2:20.

** WISDOM AND REVELATION – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“. . .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.

** OVERCOME BARRENNESS AND UNFRUITFULNESS – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:8.

** RENEW, REFRESH, REJUVENATE – IN THE KNOWLEDGE

“And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him” Colossians 3:10.

I will like you to take an assignment for yourself by making out time towards searching the scriptures to find out, mark and highlight  every SCRIPTURAL place that indicates – THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, BY KNOWLEDGE, IN KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH LIKE. You will discover lots of what you’ve become in God, in Christ Jesus stead. It will bring forth a transformation and translation that will revitalise you beyond words because of the insights and foresight trajectory of the revelation you will receive of God. Give you go from today.

Be Blessed with God’s enabling POWER to FUNCTION and His GRACE to BECOME accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Ephesians 4:8-16).

“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. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing” Philippians 3:7-16.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the Congregation of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore, it’s your time to RAISE your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of FAITH in GRACE, to live in LIFE and GODLINESS, without shame, fear, intimidation and inferiority complex and any form or sorts of phobias the ENEMY and COHORTS may throw at you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s your time to be emboldened by the WORD in the name of Jesus Christ, by the leading of the Holy Spirit and the inspiring, revealing and empowering of Father God, in His set plan, purpose and pursuit, for the Kingdom cause.

You need not be ASHAMED and CONDEMNED any more of who you ARE in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For being JUSTIFIED by FAITH – we have ACCESS by FAITH – we STAND in GRACE by FAITH – and we ARE MADE God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

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

“But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:23-24.

“. . .3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: . . . 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES OF HIS GRACE; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED toward us in all wisdom and prudence . . .” Ephesians 1:1-23

“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 5:21.

“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2
