POSSESSING YOUR REDEMPTION POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS: THE “DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES” MADE POSSIBLE BY YOUR FAITH COMMUNICATION!

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style in your – day in and day out, much more over these years in circle and circus; it’s your time in Christ Jesus to ENACT, ENSURE and ACTUALISE the essence of being born of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There’s the DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus; but it’s your prerogative to ASK, SEEK and KNOCK after it in order to make it a reality for you. You ask, seek and knock to obtain because you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED this good deed of God in Christ Jesus stead concerning you:

“ASK, and it shall be given you; SEEK, and ye shall find; KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that ASKETH receiveth; and he that SEEKETH findeth; and to him that KNOCKETH it shall be opened” Matthew 7:7-8

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible by these but not limited:

** FIRSTLY through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – His DONE DID DEED – for you and all in Him.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF YOUR FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) . . .” Philemon 1:6.

** And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

“. . . the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to God’s gracious WORD in 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many unfortunately ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUIA’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around, despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various set traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. Beloved in Christ Jesus, these OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus, knowing and understanding the all that Christ Jesus is BECOME to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.

Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE DID DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE: LEADS ONE TO ERRORS, TO BECOME MISTAKEN AND TO BE ELUDED FROM THE POWER OF GOD!

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (GATHERING) of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD)” Proverbs 21:16.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS (DISOBEDIENT) is HARD (DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15

Avoid ignorance by every means. It’s sides effects and consequences it’s unimaginable. Ensure in every subject you endeavour to know and understand the context and possibly contents in order to avoid – erroneous position, become mistaken and misconstrued, and eluded from the power of God – meaning, the enabling of God’s grace for such context to be made revealing and manifesting for your good and BLESSEDNESS.

Ignorance hurts and hunts. It makes one stupid and foolish. It frustrates one’s efforts. It keeps one away from the good of God – for God winks at ignorance. Ignorance subjugates. It enslaves. It captivates. It’s destructive. The sides effects it’s innumerable and unimaginable and never a wish for any –  therefore don’t even imagine it or allow it plays around you and within your domain at any given moment. PURSUE to ENSURE knowledge and understanding always in order to to stay safe.

IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAN TO STAY IN IGNORANCE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUPIDITY AND FOOLISHNESS THAT IT BRINGS.

“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

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

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by IGNORANCE many talents, vision and dreams that would have enhance life and godly living in uplifting and placing people and person’s in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, has landed and ended such in the GRAVEYARDS – unfulfilled, unsung, unwritten, unaccomplished and such like.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK (REFLECT)!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS (DIFFICULT, TASKMASTER, BURDENSOME, IRKSOME)” 1 John 5:3 Emphasis Mine.

“And now, BRETHREN, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

“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: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN

To Avoid ERRORS And Being MISTAKEN: KNOW The SCRIPTURES For YOURSELF!

There’s nothing as dangerous as living in errors, being mistaken and taken up as PREY and become VICTIM to the ENEMY and COHORTS because of ignorance, stupidity, foolishness and vulnerability. Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

There’s danger in not being properly informed in the KNOW-HOW and UNDER-STANDING of the context of a thing otherwise you exposed yourself to danger and become vulnerable to all manners of deceptions, adulteration, delusions, counterfeits, falsehoods and many such like that are out there – who are knowingly and unknowingly appearing as wolves in sheep’s clothing, like roaring lion and manifesting as angels of light when in reality are angels of darkness and others as Ministers of God while there are under the enclave of Satan and cohorts in camouflage to deceive the ignorant. Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Timothy 1:3-11; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; 1 Peter 5:8-11; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.

It’s very imperative, for you to come to terms with the reality of the world to God’s word, if you must avoid ERRORS and being MISTAKEN – meaning, you need to INTENTIONALLY resolved to KNOW the SCRIPTURES for YOURSELF – in order to do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead with ease and comfort. That’s the place of honour and dignity and nobility as found in the Berea Believers of the Bible days of Acts 17:19-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

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

“Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a CONTROVERSY with the inhabitants of the land, because there is NO TRUTH, nor MERCY, nor KNOWLEDGE of God in the land . . . 6 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 4:1, 6.

“Therefore my PEOPLE are gone into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . . “ Isaiah 5:11-16.

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

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE TO MAKE thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“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” Acts 17:10-12.

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING: A KEY TO ENACT AND AUTHENTICATE YOU IN LIVING AND DOING LIFE WISELY!

A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely – anywhere, any day and any time.

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 for the Spirit of understandable knowledge in the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – in order to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to nowhere until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYERLINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVES FAVOUR: but the way of transgressors (ignorance) is hard (difficult, rough)’’ Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis mine).

“The man that WANDERS OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead (unproductive, ignorant and unwise people)” (Proverbs 21:6 (Emphasis mine).

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

WISDOM APPLIED – THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE

WISDOM APPLIED – THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE: THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL (PASSION), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING PURPOSE!

Wisdom is profitable to direct when knowledge, which is a consequence of information is rightly applied in the understanding of the context in question. Hence, I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header and the content to read along. For while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully in the wisdom of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. You need to have the perspective of each context respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s given BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead is profitable as written:

“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

LET US CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF – PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – IN THEIR RESPECTIVE PERSPECTIVES:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity was full of COMPASSION (PASSIONATE) in all His ways of doing life to sort out human needs. Matthew 15:32; Hebrews 5:1-10;

Although it’s possible to be passionate about something without compassion but you can’t have compassion without being passionate to seeing the passion through. It thus also means, being passionate about something with compassion as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more – can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE – leading to stupidity and fooolishness. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

One of the great high Priestley PRAYERS of Jesus Christ while in humanity was for us to KNOW the the father God John 17:3; and was so concern about those that believes in Him to KNOW the TRUTH also – John 8:30-32; and He equally challenge the religious sectarians and bigots of His days to KNOW the scriptures in order for them to KNOW the power of God accordingly otherwise they will keep living a mistaken and erroneous life – Matthew 22:29.

It thus means that the KNOWING  of the context of a thing is important to evade ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness and erroneous transmission of information. However, as good and importance as KNOWLEDGE is, it’s not enough to get stalled in knowledge, there’s the need for an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. For a mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed up – meaning it breeds PRIDE and ARROGANCE – and it’s a dangerous place to be before God in all ramifications, because God resist the PROUD and ARROGANT in all totality – James 4:5-7; Proverbs 15:25; Proverbs 16:5. Hence, to safeguard pride and arrogance that a mere having ONLY knowledge does result, be wise to add UNDERSTANDING to KNOWLEDGE as in this scriptural context of admonition:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to attain a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING lifestyle, in our cause of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

Our Lord Jesus have to ask two people He met on the way after His resurrection while at walk with them if they understand what they were discussing as they walk along even though they knew the scriptural context of what they were discussing on the road to Emmaus. And since they know the context but don’t understand the context, He then expanded the scriptures to their understanding and their spiritual eyes was illuminated and enlightened – Luke 24:1-27.

Hence, there’s the need to get UNDERSTANDING to help us make right decision which is wisdom, the bedrock and hallmark to living victoriously as enjoined:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all the GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

In summary, you can now come to terms that – when you measure your passionate life as expected of you to have as a living being in any field of doing life with knowledge – and you enhance that knowledge with the understanding in context to the matter of life – there’s no force on earth that can stop you in any endeavor no matter how long it takes to deal with the circumstances in the context of time. Be wise to walk in WISDOM – PASSIONATE KNOWING (KNOWLEDGE) + UNDERSTANDING, for  it makes you a winner, victor, overcomer, triumphant and a more than conquerors in the battle field of life – any day, any time and any where.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have COMPASSION on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way” Matthew 15:32 (Mark 8:2).

“. . . 32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: 33 shouldest not thou also have had COMPASSION on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? 34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him . . .” Matthew 18:21-35.

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

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to shine, and the BOLDNESS of his FACE shall be CHANGED” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the dead” Proverbs 21:16.

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth favour: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15.

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

“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.

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING FOR WISDOM: GET THE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL YOUR KNOWING!

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

People fail in life and godliness, not merely for not KNOWING, but for not UNDERSTANDING what they claimed to KNOW, and the PURPOSE of a given cause to them. Hence, I have always said, and will always say:

“UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU CLAIM TO KNOW OR TO HAVE KNOWN IN ANY MATTER OF LIFE AND GODLINESS, YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN THE IGNORANT”

Having an idea is good, UNDERSTANDING your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal, without understanding what’s the take on and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes and challenges in life weather conditions to the set matter.

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day. So stride to both know and understand your spouse in your relationship day by day, so that you blossom, refresh and rejuvenate in all weathers of life.

Being educated and informed in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause a problem to you and others probably one day. As the saying goes:

“A BAD WORKMAN QUARRELS WITH HIS TOOLS”

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege, but not understanding the etiquette of being a  Shepherd in looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite, arrogant and wolf in sheep clothing. Instead of being the CHIEF SERVANT to SERVE, you become the CHIEF LORDSHIP over God’s heritage. And we know in God’s set plan, humility in His service breeds His exaltation. Mark 10:35-45; Hebrews 5:7-9; Philippians 2:1-11; James 4:6-7, 10; 1 Peter 5:5-6.

To be in any Leadership and management in private, non-governmental or government or other public position of making decision is good, but if you lack the UNDERSTANDING for leadership and governance, you will destroy the people’s invested TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch. INFORMED – knowledge and understanding – LEADERS, LEAD and GOVERN with humane and empathy while UNINFORMED – with insufficient knowledge and understanding – ends up to be RULERS, and are – bossy, authoritarian, autocratic and emperor like. WHICH ARE YOU – LEADER or RULER?

More so, a LACK of UNDERSTANDING geared through set principle, will cause you to always REACT, make excuses and blame others for your inadequacy and failure; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

UNDERSTANDING the PURPOSE of a thing, is the needed enabling grace in order to achieve meaningfully and be fulfilled in any driven cause. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without meaningful PURPOSE and FULFILMENT for themselves and others.

WISDOM equals to KNOWLEDGE plus UNDERSTANDING. And it’s based on PRINCIPLE; it’s GOOD and PROFITABLE; it’s a DEFENCE and life GIVING to one’s LIFE ESSENCE. Pursue after UNDERSTANDING in your KNOWING for your own good. Understanding helps one to APPLY the known to achieve meaningfully and purposefully for one’s life fulfillment. WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE THROUGH UNDERSTANDING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Wisdom is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For wisdom is a DEFENCE, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom GIVETH life to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

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

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER LIKE)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my PRAYERS; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that ye may KNOW what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST

YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST – AND TRIUMPHANT IN EVERYWHERE AND IN EVERYWAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satanic evil and wicked cohorts, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.

“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.

All simply because this Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

Therefore, as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationized Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The seventy returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the DEMONS are SUBJECT to us in Your name.” 18 He said to them, “I watched Satan FALL from heaven like [a flash of] lightning. 19 Listen carefully: I have GIVEN you AUTHORITY [that you now possess] to TREAD on serpents and scorpions, and [the ability to exercise authority] OVER ALL the POWER of the ENEMY (Satan); and NOTHING will [in any way] harm you. 20 Nevertheless do not rejoice at this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your NAMES are RECORDED in heaven” Luke 10:17-20 Amplified.

For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to color our worlds with God’s goodness until Christ Jesus returns for the fullness of our God and well-being as Apostle Paul stated in the Holy writ of Ephesians 1:17-23.

WE ARE God’s BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR, the Church of JESUS CHRIST with the mandate to be triumphant in EVERYWHERE and EVERYWAY.

CHURCH ARISE – YOU ARE THE CHURCH!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!

AND AS THE CHURCH – YOU ARE TRIUMPHANT!!!

CONGRATULATIONS – BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, THAT MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, AND NOT TO FAINT (Give Up, Lose Heart, Discourage”) Luke 18:1. (Emphasis Mine).

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be BOUND (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE (Allow, Permit) on earth shall be LOOSED (Allowed, Permitted) in heaven” Matthew 16:18-19 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus came up and said to them, “ALL AUTHORITY (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age” Matthew 28:18-20 Amplified.

“[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son]. 18 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), 19 and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength 20 which He produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above ALL RULE and AUTHORITY and POWER and DOMINION [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come. 22 And He put ALL THINGS [in every realm] in SUBJECTION under Christ’s feet, and appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head OVER ALL THINGS in the church, 23 which is His body, the FULLNESS of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers]” Ephesians 1:17-23 Amplified.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: THE UNDERSTANDING MAKES ONE TO RULE AND REIGN IN LIFE!

“The FEAR of the Lord is the BEGINNING of WISDOM: and THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY is UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 9:10.

You are REDEEMED to REIGN in LIFE in Christ Jesus and to RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION. You are either REIGNING in life in grace OVER and AGAINST all circumstances and situations or you are being OVERWHELMED by your circumstances and situations; and therein living in fears phobia, intimidation, inferiority, complexes and such like human weakness and limitations.

I challenge you in Christ Jesus, that you CAN RESOLVE to REIGN in life and RULE in DOMINION over the ENEMY and COHORTS from this day ONWARDS and UPWARDS as –  a royal priesthood, a chosen generation, a holy personality/nation and a peculiar breed person; being enabled by grace to go forth and show forth the praises of Him that has delivered you and transformed and transfigured you from the kingdom of darkness into His marvellous light of glory, honour and grace.

You are ROYAL – royalties RULE and REIGN. And it’s your time and turn as ROYAL priesthood to both RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION and REIGN in LIFE in the GRACE, in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And lets do it NOW.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

“Give INSTRUCTION to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a JUST man, and he will increase in learning. 10 The FEAR of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY IS UNDERSTANDING. 11 For by me thy DAYS shall be MULTIPLIED, and the YEARS OF THY LIFE shall be INCREASED” Proverbs 9:9-11.

But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but ARE NOW THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-5, 9-10.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING The ESSENCE!

Am yet to found one Believer in Christ who who does not wants to actualize and see that everything about their Faith in Christ Jesus, is TANGIBLE, REACHABLE and LIVEABLE. Unfortunately not all are experiencing the FULLNESS of Christ Jesus stead in their day to day living, as expected IN THE GRACE wherein we STAND as in the Holy Writ.

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

In ESSENCE, actualizing our REDEMPTION REALITY in Christ Jesus, can only be made possible through firstly – KNOWLEDGE – that is, by the ACKNOWLEDGING; and secondly it’s with the UNDERSTANDING of one’s FAITH in Christ Jesus – being COMMUNICATED to matters of Life and Godly Living as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

And until you can ACTUALISE the ESSENCE of REDEMPTION of Christ Jesus in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus will always be a – struggle, strange, burdensome, irksome and taskmaster like. It’s for this lack of the knowledge and understanding of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY that there are many MERE – ‘AMEN’, HALLELUJAH’ ‘I RECEIVE’ and ‘BLESS ME’ – Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ. This OUGHT not to be so in Christ Jesus and for all that Christ Jesus is to us in God.

I am emboldened to say that you can APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a personal knowledge and understanding, of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY in your redemption in Christ Jesus, of all that God has – DONE IN you, DONE FOR you, DONE WITH you and He’s DOING THROUGH you, supposedly and indeed.

Here are few ESSENCE to enable you see a gracious reasons to earnestly crave and seek for THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY through ACKNOWLEDGING and UNDERSTANDING of all that God deed for you in Christ Jesus; this is to help you APPROPRIATE and ENACT with ease your REDEMPTION into reality and as a POSSESSION. It is the KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING:

** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

** That knowledge will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29

** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.

** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.

** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

** That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

These writ above though not limited, indicates the essence of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the Holy in order to access the FULNESS of Him. Hence I say, Don’t SETTLE and BECOME a believer in Christ Jesus, who is envelope just with – ‘BLESS ME’, ‘HALLELUJAH’, ‘I RECEIVE’,  ‘AMEN’ and such like – seek after knowing and understanding the Holy one for your ESSENCE and FULNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17.

“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO in and POSSESS the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In Thee Shall All Nations Be Blessed. 9 So then THEY WHICH BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED WITH FAITHFUL ABRAHAM . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither BOND NOR FREE, there is neither MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: AND IN THEE SHALL ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.
