ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2023: BY ENSURING GOD’S GRACE IS YOUR PRIMARY AND PURPOSEFUL CALL TO – DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY IN YEAR 2023!

“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.

There’s enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER to do exploit for you, in doing life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and now for YEAR 2023, same enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER in Christ Jesus is readily available for you and should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL stand to usher in the New dawning YEAR come 2023. It thus mean, that your utmost urgency now is for you to set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD – to be in His PRESENCE – wherein you will be engrossed with Him to release you with His enabling GRACE and POWER, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, knows what it means to abound in the PRESENCE of our Father God in order to do life in His humanity in the earthly affairs for the cause of the kingdom. He ensures that all His doings are as LED by Holy Spirit and Father God is in the know, in every step to ensure the POWER to function was there in fulfilling His cause and purpose of God for humanity.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . .14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all . . . 22 And all BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 1-22.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great WHILE before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2023 and to start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards because they are not SCRIPTURALLY based. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb this unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2022 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2023. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED man-made and make-believe POWER of rushing your hours into your day before its dawn, has it it made any difference in you without stress and anxiety instead of God’s promised rest?

** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL and meaningfully FULFILLED? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE through His grace and power, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS?

** And God is about DILIGENCE in all sphere of doing life and living godly? And it’s not about just HARD WORK instead about SMART WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating? And there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED in taking responsibility and accountability for your cause without blaming someone else?

** You need to ask yourself if the claimed you put in so much effort each day, and yet doesn’t add up, if it does make life WORTH LIVING after all? or you need to change your course into YEAR 2023 of needing God’s GRACE and POWER for His BLESSEDNESS?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, not wanting to see you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, to help you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you are being EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2023 closing down and YEAR 2023 starting up.

Know full well that your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION  moment is now with the LORD. This is in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING aimlessly and armless into the dawning YEAR 2023.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands as some are consumed about, but to just be in the presence of Father God in the name of Jesus – ONLY and SOLELY – there MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2023 uniquely with His GRACE, POWER, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and biddings, without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to let you know that by God’s grace and power, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from God’s PRESENCE into YEAR 2023 rather than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

This means in Summary that:

** We ARE SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him!

** We ARE then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God.

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and the not Stress, worry (anxiety), pressure people experience while they walk in their own effort to make things happen.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS: “The WORD” Became FLESH – HUMAN – The ANSWER To Your QUEST!

This Christmas is all about “The WORD” that became FLESH – HUMAN, whose FULLNESS is of Grace and Truth. And an ANSWER to ALL our QUEST in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

The world today longs for GRACE and TRUTH in our society, which comes purely and can come only genuinely from “The WORD” that became flesh. God spoke “The WORD”, The WORD was received and born in human flesh – humanity. “The WORD” is Christ – the Messiah, Saviour, Deliverer – the REASON we do commemorate and celebrate this SEASON in this Christmas, in this December and for His REDEMPTION cause on earth to all mankind including you.

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

Faith on “The WORD” is all you need, to turn your TEST story to TESTIMONY, your SCARCITY to PLENTY, your FAILURE to SUCCESS, your MESS to MESSAGE,  your SETBACK to STEPPING STONE, your DISAPPOINTMENT to APPOINTMENT, the said SICKNESS and DISEASE to HEALING, HEALTH and WHOLENESS, and many more such like. In summary the ANSWER to your QUEST to have a meaningful, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life is in the WORD – Jesus the Christ.

“The WORD” is Him – Christ Jesus personified, who is our Saviour King and Lord. He’s our Emmanuel – The God WITH us, IN us and FOR us; the God that DWELLS with us in everyway. “The WORD” is your witness, record and embodiment in heavens unity in Trinity to certify the divine purpose on earth.

Therefore, this CHRISTMAS, as you commemorate and celebrate “The WORD” through faith in Him, may your desire be made manifest in the flesh, that is, comes to reality and fruition; and becomes tangible, reachable, touchable, loveable, liveable, and incarnate.

The WORD is all you need to ANSWER that QUEST that has defiled everything mortal in your life and godly living.

I pray you every grace, blessing and speed in The WORD. Amen.

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME: FOR NO WORD – NO FAITH, IF YOU MUST FUNCTION TO BECOME!

It’s time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE – in order to BECOME by God’s WORD and in EVERYWAY in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

Many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD and to His work in His Church; and yet wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and BECOME in every way in LIFE and GODLINESS.

Most reasons are simply for their FEAR PHOBIA that they may lose out if they do make such acts to Be. And unfortunately, their being skeptical has not made them better in spite of their despised to God’s WORD and His Church – (1 John 5:3-5).

I make BOLD to say that God is FAITHFUL 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 – (Romans 10:17). Faith in Christ Jesus, is of the WORD. Faith is not a doctrinal or denominational creed and religious dogmas that is just there to be known. It’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access and essence 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 endeavors to FUNCTION and BECOME in God – (Hebrews 11:6).

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church with a daring spirit and not fear phobia, in LIFE and GODLINESS. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE 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.

LIVING is GROWING; and GROWING means being TRANSFORMED from GLORY to GLORY into the likeness, image-personality, and fullness of the knowledge of Christ. It is about us GLOWING into the FULLNESS of God’s enabling GRACE in order to BECOME Him in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE

By Leave a Comment

BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE: FOR IN GOD IN GRACE  – AGE DOESN’T LIMIT ANY IN FRUITFULNESS!

God gives the enabling grace – anointing – to make us FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in Him. And it is an indication of Him being our ROCK and without UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him. Psalms 92:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

The act of FLOURISHING and FRUITFULNESS is not limited to a few. It’s available and reachable and liveable to all, even at OLD age – NO LIMITATIONS IN GRACE – Galatians 3:26-29; Psalms 92:12-15. Hence, there’s no room to make excuses, complain, blame and assume there’s someone responsible and accountable for your UNPRODUCTIVE and UNFRUITFUL state in life, when and while all signs and indications of blossoming and flourishing are there. If there’s anything to blame, it’s one’s IGNORANCE to THINK that a mere blossoming and flourishing is sufficient without FRUITFULNESS. Unfortunately, God winked at ignorance. Acts 17:30-31.

Think about this – Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, while in humanity have to rebuke with woe to the PHARISEES and SCRIBES, who thinks that a mere paying of their TITHE is sufficient to ACCESS God’s favor and to LEGISLATE spirituality, when they overlook the essence of  FRUITFULNESS and the fruitful character of JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITHFULNESS – Matthew 23:23. THINK about it – to BLOSSOM and FLOURISH but no FRUIT does not WIN God’s favor.

Therefore, get yourself PLANTED in the house of the Lord, in order to FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Don’t be a POTTED plant that is not ROOTED in a place and taken about places, but rather be a PLANTED plant that is ROOTED in the house of the Lord, in order to experience not just the segment of flourishing and blossoming as a Palm tree and a cedar in labor, but as a FRUITFUL one in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember that Christ Jesus CURSED a fig tree that was BLOSSOMING and FLOURISHING without FRUIT and FRUITFULNESS. Mark 11:11-14.

I PRAY that you will be ROOTED in your PLANTED place such that you will BLOSSOM and FLOURISH in Grace, and become fruitful in all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:2-4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was HUNGRY: 13 and seeing a FIG TREE AFAR OFF HAVING LEAVES, HE CAME, IF HAPLY HE MIGHT FIND ANY THING THEREON: AND WHEN HE CAME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, NO MAN EAT FRUIT of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it” Mark 11:11-14.

“But my HORN [my emblem of strength and power] You have EXALTED like that of a wild ox; I am ANOINTED with FRESH OIL [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12  The righteous will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will GROW like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14  [Growing in grace] they will still THRIVE and bear FRUIT and PROSPER in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my ROCK, and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:10-15 Amplified.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, hypocrites! For you give a TENTH (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 Amplified.

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.

SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON – FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT

By Leave a Comment

SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON – FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT: SOWING The SEED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – TO EFFECT THE PEACEABLE FRUIT(S) OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU!

God wants you to be FRUITFUL in every way in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. His FRUIT(S) of RIGHTEOUSNESS is a consequence of SOWING the SEED of RIGHTEOUSNESS. For like begat likes, just as a Lion doesn’t give birth to a Goat and a Mango fruit does not reproduce a Cashew fruit – Genesis 1:11-12; Matthew 12:33-36; Luke 6:43-45.

Our character fruit of righteousness will always reproduce after its kind as we continuously sow the character seed of righteousness in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead.

And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is PEACE toward God and humanity has a corresponding EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE forever in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, even as it’s written:

“And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE forever” Isaiah 32:17.

As a result of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in FRUITFULNESS, herein are SOME SCRIPTURAL WRIT PRINCIPLES that are worth pondering and noting:

1*. IT IS ONLY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE THAT’S ABLE TO INCREASE YOUR FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS YOU SOW YOUR SEED:

“And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. 10 NOW HE THAT MINISTERETH SEED TO THE SOWER BOTH MINISTER BREAD FOR YOUR FOOD, AND MULTIPLY YOUR SEED SOWN, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11.

2*. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH:

“For ye were SOMETIMES darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is acceptable unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

3*. SOWING THE PEACE OF THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WORTH A LIVING:

“But the WISDOM that is from ABOVE (HEAVENLY) is first PURE, then PEACEABLE, GENTLE, and EASY to be intreated, full of MERCY and GOOD FRUITS, without PARTIALITY, and without HYPOCRISY. 18 And THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is SOWN in peace of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

4*. ENSURING GODLY CHASTENING THAT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:

“. . .  11 Now no CHASTENING for the PRESENT seemeth to be joyous, but grievous (severe, painful): nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:1-11 Emphasis Mine.

  1. BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU:

“And this I pray, that your LOVE may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

  1. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS MUCH MORE THAN FOOD AND DRINK – IT’S ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:

“Let not then your GOOD BE EVIL SPOKEN OF: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that IN THESE THINGS SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18 Emphasis Mine.

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, THE HERB YIELDING SEED, AND THE FRUIT TREE YIELDING FRUIT AFTER HIS KIND, WHOSE SEED IS IN ITSELF, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good” Genesis 1:11-12.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” Matthew 12:33-36.

“FOR A GOOD TREE BRINGETH NOT FORTH CORRUPT FRUIT; NEITHER DOTH A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the EVIL TREASURE OF HIS HEART bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh” Luke 6:43-45.

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”

By Leave a Comment

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE” – WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS!

“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.

GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him, can be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading – Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21). It thus mean if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk  and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME, in God, in Christ Jesus (Proverbs 21:15; Proverbs 13:15). So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the GRACE of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any acts and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.

“And of the CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

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

There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and ignorant. For its UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.

OFFERING PRAYERS TO THE FATHER GOD IN THE NAME OF JESUS: THAT’S YOUR COVENANT RIGHT OF GRACE And ACCESS FOR GRACE!

You cannot be confused or be mistaken in a day you begin with Father God as Jesus did – “A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY” was His motto.

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY (DAWN DAY), he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35 (Emphasis Mine)

Do you know why you cannot be confused or be mistaken in a day you begin with Father God as Jesus did? This is the reason:

RISING BEFORE DAWN DAY WITH FATHER GOD, WILL GIVE YOU A DONE DAY.

Begining with Father God means following His PATH of life: and His PATH of life means, in His presence is the FULNESS of joy and His right hand of righteousness is PLEASURE for ever more.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of life: in thy presence is FULNESS of joy; at thy right hand there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!

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.

For example, it’s not a case of demanding from God either of PURPOSE or POWER, and in reverse, of POWER or PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and more. This is the reason why many PRAYERS and FASTING are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it, especially counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to accompany such in order to get an answered.

So, watch out HOW you pray; 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 matters of GRACE DEMAND to the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion. Hence I ask – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and Covenant Church? And I say NO and NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good, to ensure that one have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. 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 of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect example is our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity was led of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self show off, to FAST and PRAY. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that cause or purpose and power with meaningful fulfilment of God’s intent for humanity. 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 With PURPOSE.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY – NO – When It Matters

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

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, not been daunted when you say NO 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 towards people in order to save your breath, live healthily, otherwise when you fault, you are gone.

You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of inability – 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

YES – YEA, in ALL matters of DOING life, this will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in GODLINESS without feeling guilty – 1 Timothy 4:7-8.

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 makes 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 to do God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN.

Don’t DO God or be a godfather or answer in DEBT that’s my point. Not saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but to endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting someone dear needs when you cannot. 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.

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!
