HAVE FAITH IN GOD BY HEARING GOD’S SAYINGS: IT WILL UNDO THE FAMINE OF ‘THE HEARING OF THE WORD!’ 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD . . .” Amos 8:11-13. 

“Whoever is of God and belongs to Him HEARS [THE TRUTH OF] GOD’S WORDS; for this reason you DO NOT HEAR them: because YOU ARE NOT of God and YOU ARE NOT in fellowship with Him” John 8:47/Amplified. 

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, and to HAVE FAITH IN GOD is to give your listening EARS to the HEARING of the SAYINGS of God in the midst of many words about us. For we live in such a time in human history where there are multiple sayings and itching ears to hear and misconstrue out of context in order to dissimilate misinformation and disinformation instead of speaking truth in love in the grace. And the Lord God thus indicates because people are not keen to hear the truth and speak the truth, He will give them itching ears to hear falsehood instead, and the effect will result to the ‘FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORDS’ of the Lord God, as we see in many outlets today in line with these stated scripture but not limited. 

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21. Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst . . .” Amos 8:11-14. 

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

“I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 FOR THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT ENDURE SOUND DOCTRINE; BUT AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, HAVING ITCHING EARS; 4 and they shall turn away THEIR EARS FROM THE TRUTH, AND SHALL BE TURNED UNTO FABLES” 1 Timothy 4:1-4. 

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD. For the antidote to overcome the itching ears of the hearing of fables, which is about hearing things that are deliberately false or of improbable account is by THE HEARING OF THE WORD, which is the HEARING OF GOD’S SAYINGS that’s capable of diagnosing your triune [tripartite being] for your wholeness, completeness, maturity and totality in the grace. The Faith to PLEASE God [Hebrews 11:6], to have VICTORY and OVERCOME the world system of modus operandi [1 John 5:4-5], and to make our enemies and cohorts work in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE in contrary to their intended wishes [Proverbs 16:7], comes by the HEARING OF THE WORD. I mean the continuous hearing of the word of God. And that’s the how to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, to enable one to put an end to the mountains, the valleys, the crooked roads and the rough places that have become the long-standing obstacles in our path of doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

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

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21. Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified. 

There are many multi-VOICES in the air 24/7 in our world today in the vase multimedia and social media to be specific, that can make and unmake you, just as there are many voices in the Holy Writ BIBLE [BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETRNAL], but not all the sayings there are of God, as there are many other voices. In the same scenarios, to be closer home, there are many voice of men in the religious circus, that if one is not sensitive by the Holy Spirit to decipher, one will be victim of the loads of the sayings that are Scripturally misconstrued, adulterated, distorted and such like to the benefits of self-gratification, aggravation and satanic in all sphere. 

You have to be prepared to take and own the responsibility and accountability to yourself, toward whom you give your hearing ears to; for what you LISTEN to with your ears shapes your life, every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise you may be hearing the saying of men that’s pose to your vulnerability for self-APPLAUD and HYPE, especially in the SOCIAL MEDIA and other MULTIMEDIA platforms; and or by the constraints of the voices to tradition and rudiments of the world, and or by the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or by self make-believe or made-believe, and or by the circumstances of the environment and such like. 

This is not the time to feed on garbage [rubbish] or from the waste bin simply because you are hungry and want to feed. Do not make yourself vulnerable because you are hungry for the word of God without checking the means and process in context; you need to be awake, vigilant to ensure you can be assured that what you are giving your listening ears toward, is of the unadulterated and undistorted, which is, THE WORD OF GOD. It’s important to ensure and be assured that you are not listening to or giving your ears to unprincipled words that are made up and full of SENTIMENTS, PREJUDICE and DISSIMULATION, coded with disinformation and misinformation, contrary to the truth of God’s word in the grace. We are to give our hearing ears in listening to THE WORDS OF TRUTH, that is SPOKEN IN THE LOVE of God in Christ Jesus in the grace that build – edify. 

“But SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE [in all things—both our speech and our lives expressing His truth], let us grow up in all things into Him [following His example] who is the Head—Christ. 16 From Him the whole body [the church, in all its various parts], joined and knitted firmly together by what every joint supplies, when each part is working properly, causes the body to grow and mature, BUILDING ITSELF UP in [unselfish] love” Ephesians 4:15-16/Amplified. 

You have to be resolved in the grace to note that what you are inclining your ears to doesn’t appeal to your emotions and circumstances to captivate you in vulnerability. For we have the Holy Spirit given to us; God’s intent in the hearing of His WORD is to GIVE you a SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, so that you may grow up in GRACE and be established in the FAITH [Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7]. And it’s your responsibility and accountability in the grace in ensuring you hear aright the SAYINGS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded and depraved preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry [Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18]. It’s not surprising because the Scriptures has indicated prophetically before now that Father God’s intent is to send the upcoming ‘FAMINE of THE HEARING OF THE WORDS’ of God, hence we have to be intentional and resolve to only entertain with our ears: THE HEARING OF THE WORD. 

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 IN THAT DAY SHALL THE FAIR VIRGINS AND YOUNG MEN FAINT FOR THIRST” Amos 8:11-13. 

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. And Faith is the medium of transactional tender between Man and God. Which means, when there’s a lack, or an adulterated or a fake or a diluted concept to the actual context of God’s Word, one can’t do any business in the Kingdom – the Heavenly Business with God. DO YOU KNOW THE EFFECT AND CONSEQUENCES OF THAT? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from a nonchalant attitude and align toward a healthy spiritual wellbeing and begin to examine what you are HEARING with your incline ears on your onward and upward trajectory in the grace; this order will enable one to overcome – The FAMINE of the HEARING of the WORD, as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. 

For a NO HEARING of the WORD means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION in the heavenly for your earthly affairs under God. Heaven does not accept any transactional tender that is fake or adulterated or perverted or counterfeited or polluted and such like; For the only acceptable tender for transactions is FAITH, which is derived from the HEARING of THE WORD of God. 

Therefore, do yourself a favour and examine what you are hearing and feeding your being, if it’s God’s WORD or any of these but not limited: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, denominational creeds and byelaws, cultural sayings of the old fables, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, prejudice and sentimental appeals and such like. 

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO ‘THE FAMINE OF THE WORD’, IS ‘THE HEARING OF THE WORD’. AND IT’S ‘THE HEARING OF THE WORD’ THAT BUILD FAITH – AND TO HAVE ‘FAITH IN GOD’ IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD IS TO BE VICTORIOUS AND PLEASING GOD. 

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for THE WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe and made-believe takes you over to a vulnerable state. It’s time to have ‘Faith in God’ by the hearing of God’s sayings, in order to undo the famine of ‘THE HEARING OF THE WORD!’ 

Blessed regards in God’s grace and blessedness. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13. 

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21. Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23. 

“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. 

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“I MARVEL that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any other gospel unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

NOVEMBER – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – AT GOD’S WORD! 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH NOVEMBER – THE 11TH HOUR MONTH: THE MONTH OF “NEVER-THE-LESS” – TURNING A MESS TO A MESSAGE – AT GOD’S WORD! 

The month of NOVEMBER is crucial as any other month in the dawn year, because it re-echoes and reminds me as some others, of some important matters and thoughts in the year as described in these settings: 

  • FIRSTLY, NOVEMBER is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars, the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of fewer than 31 days. It is the last month of fall in the Northern Hemisphere of the world while In the southern half, it is the last month of spring. 
  • SECONDLY, the month of NOVEMBER is the third of the four months with the “BER” endings – SeptemBER, OctoBER, NovemBER, and DecemBER. This signifies the eleventh hour month to the closing of the year to usher in another year; and for me as an example, it helps me as matter of diligence, prudence and productivity toward ensuring a meaningful and purposeful fulfilment in the closure of the dawn year; and to evaluate what the year has been and what I need to make up that’s lacking within and without, in order to end up strong and stronger in the dawn year; and to take stock of the outstanding testimonies in God’s graciousnesss, gracefulness and blessedness toward me, family, ministry and all I care about which includes you that’s reading this writ right now, in the course of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 
  • And THIRDLY, which is above all thus mentioned in setting, is that Month NOVEMBER been the ELEVEN month of the year, it engages my thoughts with the spirit of the ELEVEN PERSONS IN THE MAKING OF A FOOTBALL TEAM that needs to work together in a common purpose with a team spirit in order to achieve a common results as a team, irrespective of personal terms involved – meaning, an aim to achieve results together and collectively as a team rather than as an individual. The team spirit and togetherness, speaks of unity, one accord and one purpose and common focus. And it takes a sense of MATURITY to make such happen with others. That’s what Simon did in Luke 5:6-7 by beckoning on others to come forth to achieve together before their net break. And with such essence, we can apply it in all situations, be it in family, relationship, local Church assembly, business, entrepreneurship, governance, career pursuit, leadership of any kind and such like. Psalm 133:1-3. We are better at fulfilling our purpose meaningfully together than as lone individuals. It’s when we work as a team than as a lone individual with a common and collective call, that matters in life and grace to ensure a more meaningful and fulfilment in a given purpose; and that’s the how to make us good in all goodness rather than playing the lone person dice knowing that A BUNCH OF BROOM WILL SWEEP WELL BETTER THAN A SINGLE STRING OF BROOM. And in the word of the Scripture: 

“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. 10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?” Ecclesiastes 4:9-11. 

The month NOVEMBER as themed to be Month of “NEVERTHELESS” at God’s WORD, enabling to act differently for a different and intrigue results in the midst of absolute failure. It thus indicates – the essence of exercising FAITH on the WORD of God as written or revealed upon the possible and impossible situation, in order to get the necessary helps and to receive the enabling grace and wisdom to turn our scarce and scarcity to abundance, our failure to success, our mess to message, our begging to giving, our toil and toiling to productive result and such like. And FAITH on the WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, is the stand to take in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in this month NOVEMBER.  

“. . . 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, AND HAVE TAKEN NOTHING: NEVERTHELESS, AT THY WORD I WILL LET DOWN THE NET. 6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a GREAT MULTITUDE OF FISHES: and their net brake . . .” Luke 5:1-11. 

You may have struggled through in life and especially this year to see that the last ten months just ending with October hasn’t been FRUITFUL as expected with all inputs that you’ve put in; and you are at the present moment at the verge of packing up the marriage, business, career, family, leadership, ministerial calling, relationship of all kind, self-worth and such like. I am here as God’s messenger and ambassador by His grace in Christ Jesus stead, to announce to you that your TOILING is over as you take a step of FAITH upon God’s WORD in spite of all the happenings around you today, for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory as you declare – NEVERTHELESS IN MY TOILING THUS FAR, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET AT GOD’S WORD, FOR HIS CATCH. 

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God considering the thought in this context for Month NOVEMBER theme, may you find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of – “NEVERTHELESS” in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. I do PRAY that in this Month NOVEMBER context, that our good God will grant you an abundant entrance of grace that will TURN AROUND ALL MESS INTO A MESSAGE. ALL TOILING INTO FRUITFULNESS AND MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT in His stead in Christ Jesus. Amen. May our God’s blessed Spirit of promise, give you the needed guidance, as you let Him lead you to your place of providence and to ensure that you experience BEAUTY FOR ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY FOR MOURNING AND THE GARMENT OF PRAISE FOR THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS wherein when all is done and settled, you will be called the trees of righteousness that God might be GLORIFIED and MAGNIFIED in Christ Jesus Christ stead. Amen. Isaiah 61:1-3. 

And as our God turn around the mess to a message of the four hundred men of Captain David that were in DEBT, in DISTRESS and are HOMELESS and DISCOUNTED to become the mighty men of David, so shall your turn around be and more, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Samuel 22:1-5; 2 Samuel 23. 

And as you read and meditate upon the scriptural READING THOUGHTS in context, accordingly, may you experience God’s INSPIRING, REVEALING, and EMPOWERING enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead in the now and always until He returns. Amen. It’s my gracious wish for you that God turns every MESS about you into a MESSAGE for all, lifelong, as per these SCRIPTURAL injunctions: 

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE) in every good work to do his will, WORKING in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21 Emphasis Mine. 

“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, 25 to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen” Jude 1:24-25. 

“Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 but now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 27 to God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” Romans 16:25-25. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. 

I pray you have an amazing, awesome, and majestic daily TURN AROUND OF EVERY MESS INTO MESSAGE by God’s divine provisions in His BLESSEDNESS, through this month of NOVEMBER. And may as you take every single act of FAITH that God wants you to make by His WORD as Simeon did to catch such many great multitude of fishes to meet the answer to his quest, may your response be NEVERTHELESS AT HIS WORD, I WILL LET DOWN THE NET FOR THE CATCH in Christ Jesus precious name. Amen. 

Be BLESSED in Month NOVEMBER in an onward and upward trajectory, as our God turns every MESS up to a gracious and graceful MESSAGE, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And it came to pass, that, AS THE PEOPLE PRESSED UPON HIM TO HEAR THE WORD OF GOD, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the FISHERMEN were gone out of them and were WASHING THEIR NETS. 3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon’s, and PRAYED him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship. 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and let down your nets for a draught. 5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS AT THY WORD I will let down the net. 6 And when they had this done, they in closed a GREAT MULTITUDE of fishes: and their net brake. 7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink. 8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord. 9 For he was astonished, and all that were with him, at the draught of the fishes which they had taken: 10 and so was also James, and John, the sons of Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And Jesus said unto Simon, Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men. 11 And when they had brought their ships to land, THEY FORSOOK ALL and FOLLOWED him” Luke 5:1-11. 

“David therefore departed thence and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard it, they went down thither to him. 2 AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DISTRESS, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS IN DEBT, AND EVERY ONE THAT WAS DISCONTENTED, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a CAPTAIN over them: and there were with him about FOUR HUNDRED MEN. 3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me. 4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold. 5 And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth” 1 Samuel 22:1-5. 

“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath ANOINTED me to PREACH good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to BIND UP the brokenhearted, to PROCLAIM LIBERTY to the captives, and the OPENING OF THE PRISON to them that are bound; 2 to PROCLAIM the acceptable year of the Lord, and the DAY OF VENGEANCE of our God; to COMFORT all that mourn; 3 to APPOINT unto them that MOURN in Zion, to GIVE unto them BEAUTY for ASHES, the OIL OF JOY for mourning, the GARMENT OF PRAISE for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be CALLED trees of righteousness, the PLANTING of the Lord, that he might be GLORIFIED” Isaiah 61:1-3 (Luke 4:16-22). 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6. 

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5. 

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by his FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). 

“These be THE WORDS which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab. 2 (There are ELEVEN DAYS’ JOURNEY from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.) 3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, IN THE ELEVENTH MONTH, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them; 4 after he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei: 5 on this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying, 6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, and TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, and GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM” Deuteronomy 1:1-8.

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST: TO KEEP KEEPING ON BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH!

“. . . 7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. 8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: BUT SPEAK THE WORD ONLY, and my servant shall be HEALED. 9 For I am a man UNDER AUTHORITY, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . . . 13 And Jesus SAID unto the centurion, GO THY WAY; and as thou hast BELIEVED, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was HEALED in the selfsame hour” Matthew 8:5-13.

It’s now your time to keep keeping on – on The WORD OF FAITH in Christ Jesus. To keep Keeping on BY SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH unto that circumstance and long standing obstacle in your path of progress;  I mean, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH toward “THAT” which had become a plague, mountain, valley, crooked and rough place to you in the becoming who you ARE by God in Christ Jesus stead. For by keeping onto The WORD OF FAITH, I can say to you in Christ Jesus, that assuredly, assuredly, you will PREVAIL by the WORD OVER ALL as it’s written:

“. . . 8 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 . . .“

“So MIGHTILY GREW THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

“But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:24.

No matter how odd it may look, just keep on keeping on – saying, announcing, proclaiming, declaring  and SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH to THAT situation no matter how long it takes, you will certainly prevail, overcome, triumph and be victorious – for The WORD OF FAITH is creative, transformative and thus works indeed in Christ Jesus stead. And the WORD OF FAITH is THE VICTORY to OVERCOME over the world and it’s mode of operandi.

“. . . 22 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 11:12-14, 20-24.

“For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

The reason to keep keeping on, speaking forth on THE WORD OF FAITH, is simply this – whatsoever is accomplished by THE WORD will ever be and to the glory of God and your BLESSEDNESS, as it’s written:

“I know that, WHATSOEVER God DOETH, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God DOETH it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:14.

There’s therefore a MIRACLE and TESTIMONY in your MOUTH and for you, in that, “THAT” circumstance and situation can’t stop you except you give the permission to do contrary to THE WORD OF FAITH within you. I employ you to just keep on keeping on, SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF FAITH and that change you earnestly desire and crave to come, will come surely and assuredly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

THERE’S THE NEED TO BE STEADFASTLY STEADFAST – TO KEEP KEEPING ON – BY SPEAKING FORTH – THE WORD OF FAITH WHICH IS IN YOU . . . TO BELIEVE BY THE HEART AND TO SAY BY THE MOUTH.

Have a Blessed day in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 4:22.

“And they OVERCAME him by THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH, and with the INCREASE OF HIS LIPS SHALL HE BE FILLED. 21 Death and life are in the POWER OF THE TONGUE:  and they that love it shall EAT THE FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; for he is faithful that promised. . . 35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward . . .” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.

“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 for ever. And his disciples HEARD it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance SAITH unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 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 11:12-14, 20-24.

“But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)  7 or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)  8 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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:6-13.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 WHOM RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD: FOR IN YOUR DARK AND DARKNESS – THERE IS GOD’S GLORY AND BEAUTY!
 
“Therefore we do not become DISCOURAGED [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER self is being [progressively] RENEWED day by day. 17 For our MOMENTARY, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Amplified.
 
I know what tears and pain and disappointments feels and looks like. I know what setbacks with hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness looks like. I know how it feels that there should be no tomorrow. I know how it feels to wish the morning was night and the night was day; and when the day and night seems so long and you wish you could BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AS AN OSTRICH INSTEAD OF SOARING AS AN EAGLE; and when the darkness seems so dark that nothing in life matters any more and all you think about is to stop living because you are overwhelmed with matters of life. I know how it looks when all one can see it’s danger and such like, and nothing meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling any more. I have seen it in many forms to know it’s only by God and through God in Christ Jesus stead to come through under the Sun in humanity.
 
“In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the FACE of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT. 4 And God SAW the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called THE LIGHT Day, and THE DARKNESS He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.
 
And I have come a long way and grown to know that God does not shine light upon darkness but causes light to shine OUT of darkness for His glory and our BLESSEDNESS. As He He spoke out of the void and formless earth that light should come forth out of the darkness that was overpowering the earth, and there was and is light. The light becomes the order for the day [morning and evening] and the dark and darkness becomes the order for the night. That’s what created God can do in the midst of anything that’s overwhelming us in life and grace.
 
“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, TO GIVE THE LIGHT of the knowledge of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.
 
And I want you to know what else that I know – God does bring forth LIGHT OUT OF EVERY DARK and DARKNESS that shows up in our day to day challenges. The dark and darkness that shows up momentarily or as long standing obstacles in metaphorical form as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Am very certain and assured that God will not OVERSHADOWED that your darkness with light to keep you in circus but will BRING FORTH LIGHT OUT of that seemly impossible DARK PLACE and the DARKNESS with the needed and needful graciousnesss and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS.
 
For God intent is to see you glow, rejuvenate, refresh and blossom out of “THAT” dark and darkness you are dealing with right now. I know it without a shadow of a doubt because each rivers of challenges that I have seen and walk and gone through have made me BETTER than BITTER because I know the essence of light OUT of darkness in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.
 
“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT of dawn, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.
 
Therefore be at peace with yourself today, for the DAYSTAR in you, which is Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord for today, tomorrow and always, will shine again in you and through you, and many in darkness will come to your light in Him to share in your joy and testimony of grace. For darkness can’t overshadowed light. Light will always be superior to any darkness. The darker the case, the more the glow in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Stop CRYING as one without hope in God; for in that your DARKNESS – therein is God’s GLORY and BEAUTY of you in Christ Jesus. I pray that you will take on a new look and leap of faith in life, that your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus can’t be stop by any level of darkness no matter the momentary lapses and delays in the now.
 
HAVE FAITH IN GOD – and be BLESSED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE LOVING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

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

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him.  10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the DEEP things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

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

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

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

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

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And we know that ALL THINGS work together for good to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE.  29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED .” Romans 8:28-30.

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

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.  11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

HAVING FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVING FAITH IN GOD: IS HAVING FAITH IN HIS WORD!

To have FAITH in God, is to have FAITH in His WORD. To have FAITH in His WORD is to first BELIEVE in His WORD. To BELIEVE in His WORD is to HEAR His WORD and ACT – CONCEIVE accordingly to His WORD. Therefore, FAITH IS ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) OF THE HEARING OF GOD’S WORD.

Mountains can be levelled or made a plain, Valleys can be exalted or filled, Crooked Road can be made strait and Rough Places in life can be made smooth, when we BELIEVE on What God had said by His WORD about that matter, then ACT accordingly on it.

YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT OR UNTIL YOU MAKE IT. There’s no room to fake or dilute or adulterate God’s WORD to make it. Just BELIEVE and act on it accordingly, then your miraculous needs will be answered effortless.

UNBELIEF is a killer disease to RECEIVING from God. I mean UNBELIEF to the WORD of God. BELIEVE is of the heart (human spirit) and not of the head (Five Senses). It’s heart knowledge and not head (senses) knowledge.

THREE REASONS TO CRAVE FOR THE WORD:

  1. FAITH can only COME by the HEARING of the WORD of God, that is needed to plight in life; and to thrive meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling – Romans 10:17; Amos 8:11-14; Galatians 3:2-6.
  2. The WORD is of the TRINITY in the Heaven or Heavenly places where your expected blessing are located and comes to you by FAITH – 1 John 5:7; John 1:1-7, 14; Ephesians 1:3.
  3. The Holy Angels, supposedly the ministering agents of God that are there to convey your blessings to you from the heavens, ONLY RESPONDS, that is, ATTENDS or HARKENS to the VOICE of God’s WORD and not to a mere tears or sentiments and emotions – Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14.

Know for sure and sure that FAITH is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE (CONCEIVE) as a CONSEQUENCE of the HEARING of God’s WORD.

Therefore, THINK. PONDER. MEDITATE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have FAITH as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall SAY unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE unto you” Matthew 17:19-20.

“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” Hebrews 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 . . . 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: NO WORD, NO FAITH – NO PLEASING OF GOD!

Firstly, FAITH is not BELIEVE. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE.

It thus means if FAITH can COME or activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. It thus means NO WORD, NO FAITH, NO PLEASING OF GOD – otherwise emptiness and noise making and God at distance.

Do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE, to all His PROMISES.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17.

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

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“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.

“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.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places.

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

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

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you listen to shape up your life every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD by social and other media platforms; and or the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or self make-believe or made-believe, and or the circumstances of the environment.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not SENTIMENTS that appeals to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). Locate one today.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the “THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD KICKS INTO YOUR BEING.

A NO HEARING means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or counterfeited or polluted and such likes tender outside THE WORD of God that builds up FAITH.

Do yourself a favour and examine what you are feeding your being if its God’s WORD or any of these: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, creeds, byelaws, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, emotional sentimental appeals and such likes.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“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.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A NO WORD, MEANS A NO FAITH – AND A NO PLEASING OF GOD!

“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 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 12:1-3.

We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facet of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. Which then indicates that a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, and a NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of a NO FAITH is emptiness, noise making, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.

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

“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 11:6 Amplified.

Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in every way.

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

I plead to you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
