MARITAL CONFLICTS

By Leave a Comment

MARITAL CONFLICTS: HELP-MEET (DIVINE) VS HELP-MATE (HUMAN) IN SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT & PURPOSE!

And God BLESSED them – male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan – MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSE nor a CURSE as some may have acclaimed respectively. And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING – (1 Peter 3:9 (1-12). When God makes you or anything, He makes them good and beautiful (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 139:14); and in God’s Marital relationship plan, purpose and pursuit – MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED – to be sorrow free; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He add no SORROW and CONFUSION with it as the SCRIPTURES enjoined – Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 10:22; 1 Corinthians 14:33.

When the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED and MISAPPROPRIATED, ABUSE takes its root. Meaning, ABUSE which is – ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR – in marriage for the context, is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intents (PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT) in marriage. This is likened to or a results of ‘MEN’ who don’t LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who don’t FOLLOW but SUBVERT DIVERGENTLY their places in grace to suit individuals intent, which is contrary to scriptural demands. Hence we see some major reason for ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith.

When HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP as Scripturally demands; simply for the absence of the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING of God’s WORD, to make relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; this is what then makes every human efforts and investment in time and finance likewise, to ENDS up in CONFUSIONS and FRUSTRATION. As such God’s intent (PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS) in marital causes will be HINDERED and become as in many cases a VAIN CAUSE to have been started and ventured into; just as Apostle Paul will make known of not frustrating the enabling grace available to him to do the gospel assignment as in scriptural enjoined to him – Galatians 2:21;

“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN” Galatians 2:21 (Emphasis Mine).

Effective MANAGEMENT of any proven good and thriving cause is born in the LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP that makes it be. Meaning, if you wants as a MAN your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD that is desirable of Angels – Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20; for ANGELS don’t dwell in HELL to give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God. You can’t hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expects a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.

TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK carefully on this note:

In SCRIPTURAL terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18 Scripture, is the same INTERPRETATION not in TRANSLATION, called PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our BEING HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and strength, to meet up and be qualified to God’s demands and obligations in life and grace. Hence, we can say He is our HELP MEET to make up to God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with, either within and without, and by any measure, in order to fulfill God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS. When God made ADAM (male), He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before EVE (female) the wife was made. Indicating a male folks has an assignment with God, knowingly or unknowingly. An it is in the order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET as it’s written:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be ALONE (in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT); I will make him an HELP MEET (to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT) for him” Genesis 2:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities (weakness and limitations): for we KNOW NOT what we SHOULD pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26 (Emphasis Mine).

We can end all these divergent confusion and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain in life and grace that which God has allowed us be. Be profoundly happy what God made you be, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, know for sure again and again, that God only COMMENDS obedience to what He COMMANDS. Any breaking of His Word as Adam did to satisfy the statuesque outside His BLESSEDNESS, will make God’s Word and enabling grace for the individual inoperative. It’s for this and such like, that many Believers today live beneath the FULLNESS made available for them  by God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus – who is our REDEMPTION DEED, Saviour and Lord. Hence, let the man show forth the genuine SCRIPTURAL leadership and the woman same like following. For its when the Woman wants to FOLLOW and the Man is BOSSY instead of showing leadership, there will be wahala wahala, that’s trouble trouble. In same scenario, when a men offers LEADERSHIP and the woman can’t follow for whatsoever reasons, there’s bound to be confusion and chaos. That’s the foundation to all other conflicts and side effects respectively –  Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:11-14.

I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find a daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“. . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

CHURCH GATHERING & WORSHIP SERVICES

CHURCH GATHERING & WORSHIP SERVICES: The True HEARTFELT Spirit Of Worship And Fellowship!

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design.

My concern is that the building ascribed as some as Church, if it becomes a restaurant or play ground tomorrow, the concept of the building in use will change of what it’s considered then as Church by some, as the building concept changes or becomes a restaurant. Hence it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is in concept; and what it truly means in the Christian Faith of Christ Jesus as we live in His stead.

As a result, I said she should reframe the question as – Did you attend Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. The local Churches gathering of respective individual Church for a collective cause or causes to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more . . .

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). An intent should be intentional, purposeful and meaningful To WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For WE ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts) “ Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine)

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29. (Emphasis Mine).

“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 (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24. (Emphasis Mine).

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the BELLY (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).

“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”

“And the Lord God FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and MAN became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

By Leave a Comment

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because, you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGER with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same, meaning are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister To God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD where BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God don’t live His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass of any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results is to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10).

Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seems to be EXAMINE indicates erroneous, ignorance, proud, rude, self-egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINE in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHET’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practice, because it’s unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELL (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP

By Leave a Comment

TO OPERATE IN THE REALM OF SONSHIP: BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT!

The realm of SONSHIP in Christ is not for those who merely or just have the Spirit within, but it’s a realm for those who are LED by His presence. Are you being LED by Him on a day to day or you just have Him only for a keep or whenever.

Sonship in this context is a non gender. Being a CHILD of God is good and great. It only offers you entrance as a baby under tutors and guidance. But in the realm of being a SON – SONSHIP, you exercise dominion, authority based on PRINCIPLE and define your life plan, purpose and pursuit statuesque in Christ. It’s a position that’s endowed with trust and integrity, diligence and prudence, reverential fear and love, responsibility and accountability, grace and speed, truth and righteousness, will and obedience, wisdom and virtue, charisma and character, and such like. The intent is to advance God’s Kingdom causes on earth and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

By being LED by Him – the Holy Spirit of TRUTH, you unveil yourself to the realm of REVELATION on the written and unwritten WORD of God which I call the working ACTS of the HOLY SPIRIT within. For SONSHIP POSITION is about being LED by the Holy Spirit in the spirit.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But you have an anointing from the Holy One [you have been set apart, specially gifted and PREPARED by the Holy Spirit], and all of you know [the truth because He TEACHES us, ILLUMINATES our minds, and GUARDS us from error]. . . 27 As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him REMAINS [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, [a]you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:20, 27 (AMPLIFIED).

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the SONS of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together” Romans 8:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 9 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 2:6-10 (Emphasis Mine).

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is under TUTORS and GOVERNORS until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were CHILDREN, were in bondage under the ELEMENTS of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of SONS. 6 And because YE ARE SONS, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a SERVANT, but a SON; and if a SON, then an HEIR of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER

By Leave a Comment

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER: Made POSSIBLE By The Holy Spirit In REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness. But one’s CHARACTER is the only sustainability in life and godliness to continuously enjoy MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For Character speaks of INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE and TRUSTWORTHY, TRUTH and such likes.

In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are essential, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these virtues:

*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity, and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

*** CHARACTER is an act of the FRUIT by the Holy Spirit, written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS: GIVEN TO EDIFY –  BUILD UP,  MATURE AND PROFIT ALL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE – CALLINGS, SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY)!

About a week ago, I went out to get a replacement Iron for the house while on my way to doing the set day activities. My natural instinct was to go to the same shopping centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me as always, the Holy Spirit sayings that I should check an APP of another shop in another shopping centre which wasn’t an intended plan by me. So I did check the app as instructed, to see the kind of the Iron I intended to buy as I have heard. And when I have done so, I went into the shopping mall that I have parked, while the app was still active on my phone to see reasons. Lo and behold, the exact intending Iron was there but there was a problem – 10% difference in the prices and warranty in comparison to the shop that I was instructed to check by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. As prudence is the scriptural essence, I left to the shopping mall of the App as I was informed of the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. I found PEACE at such obedience and SAVINGS in  cost of buying and ASSURANCE of the needed warranty to my purchase. THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS ESSENCE AT WORK. This is just about living life and obeying the instructions of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within of Him – 1 John 2:20, 27.

Why is this said storylines above? Does it matter? Won’t common sense would have told me that obviously or what to have been done earlier and anyway? The whole sum answer in essence, it’s to indicate that the ever presence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS of the Holy Spirit within us does works and it’s presence in our Christian life is to help build up and mature our being in Christ Jesus, while we make daily decisions in our callings, skills/talents (ability), in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

When you get born again (giving your whole being to believe in God through the redemption act of Christ Jesus as your Saviour and Lord) and be baptised with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in essence comes along with His CHARISMATIC GIFTS to dwell in you the believing one, to help and mature your well-being in humanity, in respect of doing live and living godly through any and all of these:

***A. Your Spiritual CALLINGS (Ministerial/Others) – Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-30; Ephesians 4:11. Numbers 11:24-30; 1 John 2:20, 27.

***B. Your Human SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY) – Daniel 1:17; Ecclesiastes 9:11; 2 Chronicles 34:12; 2 Chronicles 2:7-8; Nehemiah 5:8; Proverbs 18:15-16; 1 John 2:20, 27.

Just for clarification, each and everyone of the believing ones in Christ Jesus is given the charismatic gifts by THE MEASURE of God’s grace and not by A MEASURE, according to the given callings and skills/talent (ability) that we are respectively involved in our doing life and godliness. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; 1 John 2:20, 27. It thus means you have all it takes within you by the Holy Spirit to do life and live godly unlimitedly, except you chose to frustrate such endowed grace that’s given to you to be built up and mature in humanity as some who misuses their opportunities for righteous cause. Galatians 2:21; Romans 1:18.

Now, know that when Christ Jesus led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His ascending to the heavenly, in the CAUSE of our REDEMPTION, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE these gifts to us (as explained in some of my past post). Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Revelation 12:9-12. One aspect of the GIFT is the gift of the comforter, teacher, helper and more – the blessed Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1 :11-14; John 14:15-17, 26; Luke 24:49; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-20; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; Romans 8:26-27. And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS. I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made  physical – tangible, touchable and reachable. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or synergy within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm, booster and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it, but however everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For the term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus stead.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as it’s written:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21 (Amplified).

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a results of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations. These spiritual fruit that formulate ones character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are but not limited as in these Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.

There are nine (9) major of these charismatic gifts that are given to us to be BUILT UP and MATURED to HELP us to live in the  realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in cause of doing life and living godly. So the believing ones have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY – BUILD UP – and MATURE each order in Christ Jesus and not the other way round as we see some today: ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, who are less or and in a vulnerable state by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while they are OTHERS who used theirs to create SCHISM – DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE and such like, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus – Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And for such that cause schisms, contentions, disorders and such like,  you need keep away and at bay, as Apostle Paul warns too – Romans 16:17-18; Timothy 1:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:17-19; 1 Corinthians 3:2-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

However, these NINE (9) CHARISMATIC GIFTS can be classified in this context of 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 in this principle:

  1. The REVELATION Gifts – The gifts that reveals things: THE WORD OF WISDOM; THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE; THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
  2. The POWER Gifts – The gifts that does things: THE GIFT OF FAITH; THE WORKING OF MIRACLES; THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS.
  3. The INSPIRATIONAL Gifts – The gifts that Inspire things: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; THE DIVERSE (DIFFERENT) KINDS OF TONGUES.

Each of the above gifts are given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit as one earnestly desire their PRESENCE in one’s work and walk with God in Christ Jesus stead. Whether is about your ministerial calling and or to others as business and entrepreneurship, family, marital and friendship relationship, career pursuit, leadership and governance at any level,   matters of creativity, innovation, exploring and such like, the CHARISMATIC GIFTS are here for your well-being to grow, thrive and to be fulfilled meaningfully. 1 Corinthians 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 39-40.

I pray that you find the reason not to depend on yourself, but on the Holy Spirit of promise, that He might gives you the needed CHARISMATIC GIFTS, in order to fulfill PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“Now concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to each one FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL: 8 for to one is given THE WORD OF WISDOM through the Spirit, to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE through the same Spirit, 9 to another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS OF HEALINGS by the same Spirit, 10 to another THE WORKING OF MIRACLES, to another PROPHECY, to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, to another DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, to another the INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. 11 But one and the SAME SPIRIT WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, distributing to each one individually as He wills”

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER

Genuine CHARISMA & CHARACTER: Made POSSIBLE By The Holy Spirit In REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness. But one’s CHARACTER is the only sustainability in life and godliness to continuously enjoy MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For Character speaks of INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE and TRUSTWORTHY, TRUTH and such likes.

In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness  – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are essential, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these virtues:

*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

*** CHARACTER is an act of the FRUIT by the Holy Spirit, written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

MARCH 2018: MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION – The Principle Phases To Know & Understand!

By Leave a Comment

MARCH 2018: MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION – The Principle Phases To Know & Understand!

I have come to know and understand in over 43yrs walk in grace, that there are four (4) principle phases or acts of Redemption, that every Born Child of God in Christ MUST come to know and understand, to help them APPROPRIATE and ENACT their REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus with ease.

The KNOWING & UNDERSTANDING of these principle  phases or acts of REDEMPTION will keep you afloat in grace as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; otherwise one will be a wanderer in the congregation of IGNORANCE no matter how long you’ve been around ‘in Christ’ or ‘in Church life’.

THESE PRINCIPLE PHASES ARE:

**Phase 1. What God, through Christ DID FOR US in His great Substitution Work in Redemption.

**Phase 2. What the Holy Spirit, through the Word, DOES IN US in the New Birth and in the in-filling of the Holy Spirit.

**Phase 3. What Jesus is DOING FOR US now in His Present-Day Ministry at the Right-Hand of Father God.

**Phase 4. What His Word and His Love DO THROUGH US in Gospel Ministry.

Knowing and understanding these will change your inlook (Insights) and outlook (Foresights) in Redemption. Appropriating and Enacting your MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION will BECOME ease and norm in living and doing life.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY (PATH) of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Ignorant, unproductive, inactive)” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED”

   – Arthur Friedman

** Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there.

** And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost”

 – Billy Graham

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.
