SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO 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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Dear friend, are you living in a spiritual drought? Are you desiring for the Word of the Lord that leads to daily salvation and deliverance [Romans 10:8-13] but it seems all you see around to feed from are fables, dogmas, sectarianism, traditions, methods, creeds, shows and self-created denomination doctrines? – [Matthew 15:1-6; 1 Peter 1:17-20]. And worst, when you can’t find the principles of the word and the process, instead you see craft, fraud and scams to extort you in the grace? – [Philippians 1:15-18].

It’s time to do something about the drought [famine] of the hearing of God’s word, for your own good as an antidote to restore a healthy spiritual sensitivity in the grace – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Timothy 1:18-20]. And you need to know that you can’t blame people or anyone about your spiritual drought when there’s opportunities of being informed as you are now reading, to safeguard errors and being mistaken in the faith; and also, to make you do something about your spiritual wellbeing in the grace, as you desired to do life and live godly by  the WORD, in Christ Jesus stead. Your becoming for today and tomorrow are within your decision – and you need to make it happen in the grace without blaming anyone with your given opportunity in the grace to stop any form and signal of spiritual drought [famine] about you.

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT, I beg you – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monsters called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately, today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE does exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN [Hu-Man] is a being, that is, a spirit being [subconscious place], have a soul [conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will] and live in a body [physique, physical structure].

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – [Romans 10:17], which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:6], and not pleasing God makes one vulnerable to the enemy and cohorts of  our faith in the grace [Proverbs 16:7]. And to live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you, and rather, you can’t PLEASE God for lack of faith by the word is sinful and has consequences – [Romans 14:23]. And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – [Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47]. SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – [1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11].

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – [Luke 12:15]. And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can, and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. [Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4].

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – [2 Chronicles 7:12-15]. For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – [Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47].

It’s time to RESOLVE to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – [Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3].

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING in the grace.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – [Amos 8:11-14].

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – [1 Peter 5:8-11]. And when you feed healthily, our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

DO YOU THIRST AND HUNGER FOR GOD’S BEST

DO YOU THIRST AND HUNGER FOR GOD’S BEST: HIS ENABLING GRACE TO BECOME WILL ABOUND TOWARDS YOU!

“BLESSED are they which do HUNGER and THIRST after RIGHTEOUSNESS: for they shall be FILLED (SATISFIED)” Matthew 5:6 (Emphasis Mine).

Do you really thirst and hunger for the best of God in your life? There’s hope and answers. For God’s best is found in His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Meaning if you wants to unlock God’s best, you need to earnestly desire, that is, to thirst and hunger for His done deed of RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for you – that will usher you to all things that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we MIGHT be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Today, you may be at the edges and turning pages of your life with the challenges about you thinking if there’s still hope in this life; am hear to say to you that that it could also be the turning day of your life into the realm of the Spirit of God for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. The realm of the realm of the Spirit of God is that realms of grace that opens the doors of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. The realm to enable you to THRIVE and ACHIEVE greater heights, and to take on all it takes to live, do life and accomplish all you earnestly desire towards SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.

It’s wise to  take the advantage of the scriptures today to turn your SCARCITY into PLENTY, your MESS into a MESSAGE, your FAILURE into SUCCESS, your LIMITATIONS into OPPORTUNITY, your IMPOSSIBILITY into POSSIBILITIES and much more such likes –  for God is ABLE to make all grace ABOUND towards you for your good.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man THIRST, let him COME unto me, and DRINK.  38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.  39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And God is ABLE to make ALL grace ABOUND toward you; that ye, ALWAYS having all SUFFICIENCY in ALL things, may ABOUND to EVERY good work” 2 Corinthians 9:8.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. [2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified]. Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. [Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30].

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will be cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23].

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him glorify God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18/Emphasis Mine.

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30/Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the love of Christ? shall TRIBULATION, or DISTRESS, or PERSECUTION, or FAMINE, or NAKEDNESS, or PERIL, or SWORD? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“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. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:11-16.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

By Leave a Comment

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR A NO RAIN, MEANS A NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECT in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.  It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein is my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 with respect to why we need to earnestly pray to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world’s challenging and difficult times – as the  Believing ones – God’s precious name calls the people. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just like SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

“CAST thy bread UPON the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that OBSERVETH the wind shall not sow; and he that REGARDETH the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou KNOWEST not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do GROW in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou KNOWEST not the WORKS of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou KNOWEST not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” Ecclesiastes 11:1-6.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO 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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Living in spiritual drought? It’s time to do something about it. Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a results of these monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realise that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of it’s existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17), which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a results of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (Amos 8:11-14).

Its time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – (1 Peter 5:8-11). And when you feed healthily our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK

PRAYER – OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL & SUPREME TASK: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

FOR NO RAIN, MEANS  NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND THIS IS ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY THROUGH PRAYERS ON OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you and I, who are the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now and not tomorrow, knowing that the present and current WARS, HUMAN DISPLACEMENTS AND THE UNSTABLE ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many are dying and will die of starvation and others of the inhumane in the displacements by wars, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating through out the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS TIMELINE calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK in the grace, knowingly and unknowingly.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centered and selfish ends sometimes.

There’s the need to be awaken to this PRAYER TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.  It’s all about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

Herein it’s my summary from the Scripture of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15 in respect to why we need to earnestly prayer to give and welcome the heavenly into our earthly affairs, as a demand upon us to bring about an answer to the world challenging and difficult times – as the Believing ones – the people are called by God’s precious name. Amen.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

DEAR FRIEND, KNOW FOR SURE THAT –

PRAYER IS OUR INESCAPABLE, GLOBAL AND SUPREME TASK – IT’S THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS FOR TODAY AND TOMORROW.

DO YOU THIRST AND HUNGER FOR GOD’S BEST

DO YOU THIRST AND HUNGER FOR GOD’S BEST: HIS ENABLING GRACE TO BECOME WILL ABOUND TOWARDS YOU!

“BLESSED are they which do HUNGER and THIRST after RIGHTEOUSNESS: for they shall be FILLED (SATISFIED)” Matthew 5:6 (Emphasis Mine).

Do you really thirst and hunger for the best of God in your life? There’s hope and answers. For God’s best is found in His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Meaning if you wants to unlock God’s best, you need to earnestly desire, that is, to thirst and hunger for His done deed of RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for you – that will usher you to all things that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we MIGHT be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Today, you may be at the edges and turning pages of your life with the challenges about you thinking if there’s still hope in this life; am hear to say to you that that it could also be the turning day of your life into the realm of the Spirit of God for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. The realm of the realm of the Spirit of God is that realms of grace that opens the doors of inspiration, revelation and empowerment. The realm to enable you to THRIVE and ACHIEVE greater heights, and to take on all it takes to live, do life and accomplish all you earnestly desire towards SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.

It’s wise to  take the advantage of the scriptures today to turn your SCARCITY into PLENTY, your MESS into a MESSAGE, your FAILURE into SUCCESS, your LIMITATIONS into OPPORTUNITY, your IMPOSSIBILITY into POSSIBILITIES and much more such likes –  for God is ABLE to make all grace ABOUND towards you for your good.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man THIRST, let him COME unto me, and DRINK.  38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.  39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

“And God is ABLE to make ALL grace ABOUND toward you; that ye, ALWAYS having all SUFFICIENCY in ALL things, may ABOUND to EVERY good work” 2 Corinthians 9:8.

“Grace and peace be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us ALL THINGs that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. 2 Timothy 3:10-12 (Amplified). Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30.

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12 Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30 Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

“Who shall SEPARATE us from the love of Christ? shall TRIBULATION, or DISTRESS, or PERSECUTION, or FAMINE, or NAKEDNESS, or PERIL, or SWORD? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“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. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision AVAILETH any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:11-16.

PRAYER: THE ANTIDOTE

By Leave a Comment

PRAYER: THE ANTIDOTE TO PERSONAL, FAMILY, NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ILLS!

NO RAIN, NO RAINBOW – indicating the essence of PRAYER as the ANSWER to human quest with God, in Christ Jesus stead. AND IT’S ABOUT INVOLVING THE HEAVENLY IN OUR EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you – the Believing One, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. Knowing that the present and current ECONOMIC EFFECTS in the world may outweighs the PANDEMIC of any sorts and many will die of starvation, especially in a failed state economy. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT is already illuminating throughout the world and even in the very place you are at the moment, if you look closer and closely within.

The current atmosphere of challenges around at the moment in human history, knows no bounds and it’s an awakening TIMELESS timeline calls to change the course and trajectory of our life, family and nation through PRAYERS – and PRAYER is the BELIEVER’S in Christ – GLOBAL, INESCAPABLE and SUPREME TASK – knowingly and unknowingly.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to make this awakening to become a PERSONAL, FAMILY and NATIONAL PRAYER WALL, set task. I do believe it will turn the hearts of kings and leaders, and all in respective leadership place of governance to do the good; then we can stop complaining and blaming only the POLITICIANS and OTHERS alike respectively for all our uncontrollable human troubles, knowing they are human’s who are equally subject to natural causes with the changes beyond human; and they are limited in many phase being human, to meet the challenging needs of everyone at same time, which is beyond their self-centred and selfish ends sometimes.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

There’s the need to be awaken to this TASK if we MUST make a remarkable eternal effect and the difference we care about in our earthly life before our God, community and humanity. It’s our time to beckon on the HEAVENLY to intervene in our EARTHLY affairs, in order to make it good beyond borders and walls of difference.

It’s about MAKING a difference and impact through PRAYERS as it’s written in the Holy Writ of 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

* WHEN THERE’S NO RAIN (PRODUCTIVITY and ECONOMIC MISHAP) to enable one to thrive, blossom and flourish toward growth.

* WHEN THE LOCUSTS (Economic recessions and Austerity Measures) invades, ruined and rules the land (personal and national economy).

* WHEN PESTILENCE (Divers kinds of continuous PANDEMIC Diseases and Sicknesses) invades the land (Nations) despite all the research and technology in medical science.

Just know full well that NO RAIN means a NO RAINBOW – and PRAYER is the ANSWER. And it’s about involving the HEAVENLY in our EARTHLY AFFAIRS – and it’s a must for you the BELIEVING ONE in CHRIST JESUS stead.

Let’s do it now. Not tomorrow. The ECONOMIC EFFECTS may outweighs the PANDEMIC and WARS, for many will die of starvation. POVERTY and UNEMPLOYMENT just as SICKNESSES and DISEASES, are already alarming both locally, nationally and globally.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (LOOSE HEART, GIVE UP, BE WEARY)” Luke 18:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“If I SHUT UP HEAVEN that THERE BE NO RAIN, or if I command the LOCUSTS TO DEVOUR THE LAND, or if I send PESTILENCE AMONG MY PEOPLE;  14 if my people, which are CALLED BY MY NAME, shall HUMBLE THEMSELVES, and PRAY, and SEEK MY FACE, and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land.  15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

“I exhort therefore, that, FIRST OF ALL, SUPPLICATIONS, PRAYERS, INTERCESSIONS, and GIVING OF THANKS, be made for ALL MEN; 2 for KINGS, and for all that are in AUTHORITY; that we may LEAD A QUIET AND PEACEABLE LIFE in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth” 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that PEACE which] stands GUARD over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified.

“CAST thy bread UPON the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. 2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth. 3 IF THE CLOUDS BE FULL OF RAIN, THEY EMPTY THEMSELVES UPON THE EARTH: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. 4 He that OBSERVETH the wind shall not sow; and he that REGARDETH the clouds shall not reap. 5 As thou KNOWEST not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do GROW in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou KNOWEST not the WORKS of God who maketh all. 6 In the morning SOW thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou KNOWEST not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” Ecclesiastes 11:1-6.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO 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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN, ERROR), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

Living in spiritual drought? It’s time to do something about it. Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING life and LIVING godly in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity (ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of these monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realize that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or insufficient and inadequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for the human well-being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17, which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and with NO FAITH – none can PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfilment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a result of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God; and firstly, on PERSONAL level and from other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level is now to – THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (Amos 8:11-14).

It’s time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well-being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve for a while now – (1 Peter 5:8-11). And when you feed healthily our God of all wisdom, speed and love will make you perfect (complete, whole, full), establish, strengthen, and settled in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
