MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS: AND IT’S AT A COST – THE COST OF LOVE!

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you” John 15:12-14.

LOVE is an ESSENCE of life that everyone talks about daily, wants to both have, give and experience, but how many know and understood the magnanimity of the cost of LOVE to both receive from the giver and to offer same or more to another. It must be known and understood, that, every great relationship that has stood the pace of time, is because of the absolute commitment and dedication in self-denials for the good of the other, in order to ensure that the bedrock of LOVE upon which they are and were founded, grounded, rooted  and characterised are NEVER allowed to be shaken by any factors known and unknown that contradicts the LOVE in essence. [1 Peter 1:19; Acts 24:16; Ephesians 3:17-19; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13].

And as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead, I know how much you want to daily experience being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus as you appropriate the ESSENCE. I am here to tell you that it’s at a cost – LOVE cost. The MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence is born out of the COST of LOVE. And it’s in our going through the journey of knowing and understanding that LOVE is at a COST, that makes the essence meaningful and fulfilling as we appropriate.

I want to emphasize emphatically that being able to exercise the essence of being a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead, is at a cost – and it wasn’t just an a mere GIVEN. It’s not cheap and it’s out there at no cost. It’s at the cost of LOVE. It COST God His Son, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and it COST His Son, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ His LIFE at the CROSS of crucifixion, through the pains and pangs of suffering even unto death.

And this matter of His life COST to us by Father God, was and is – LOVE. Meaning therefore, that God’s LOVE – the AGAPE love, is unconditional, principle, non-sentimental, transcending, superseding, surpassing and it’s scriptural. And in the context of LOVE, God loves us; and this He expressed and authenticate by giving us His only Beloved Son – the first begotten from the dead – and by whom, it beholds Him to call us BRETHREN; and He expended it all in LOVE at a cost for our sake without a shadow of turning. [Romans 8:28; John 3:16; Revelation 1:5-6].

Therefore, it becomes apparent, that it takes a PURE CONSCIENCE of God’s genuine LOVE at a COST, which sometimes and most times, where possible, takes a toe on us, for one to actually and genuinely APPROPRIATE the MORE THAN CONQUERORS essence in Christ Jesus. Hence the characteristics of LOVE is a vitality to ensure a genuine LOVE cost. [1 Timothy 3:18; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13; Romans 12:9-21].

And I ask you today – do you want to experience the fulness, wholeness, perfection, completeness and maturity of the MORE THAN CONQUERORS stead in Christ Jesus? How much PREPARED are you to LOVE God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter what betides you for the cause of living, in following Him all the way? How PREPARED are you to say daily to take a stand in the Lord before the enormous challenges of life MATTERS when you are BUFFETED for your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus? Can you be emboldened to say I love the LORD and His cause and you will follow along irrespective of these but not limited elements of opposition to your FAITH and devotion to God in Christ Jesus: condemnation, or tribulation, or distress, persecution, or famine, nakedness, or peril, or sword, or death, or life, or angels, or principalities, or powers, or things present, or things to come, or height, or depth, or any other creature and such like. [Romans 8:31-39].

May I say that you need to be fully PERSUADED and COMPELLED to LOVE God by His LOVE that He has GIVEN us by His Spirit for you to actualised in essence in your being – MORE THAN CONQUERORS dimensions of following God by FAITH in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:35, 37, 39; 2 Corinthians 5:11-15; Romans 4:17-21)

To be MORE THAN CONQUERORS over your ENEMY and COHORTS for example, it takes taking an account to count the COST of LOVE to God’s WORD to do the SCRIPTURAL DEMAND to love your ENEMY and COHORTS, to feed them if in hunger and to quench their thirst with a drink as the scriptures enjoined. And it’s in pleasing God by taking the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH as it’s demand of you, that you can genuine appropriate the essence of being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. (1 John 5:1-5; Matthew 5:43-48; Romans 12:20-21; Proverbs 25:21-22; Proverbs 16:7; Hebrews 11:6; Galatians 5:6)

Take time today and always to ask yourself on how much to go to LOVE God back in His LOVE definition stand, that’s GIVEN to you by the bestowed Holy Spirit to ensure, as He loves you, just as for His Son to SUFFER in LOVE to genuinely LOVE you too. That’s how to live through LOVE in FAITH toward God and His Christ in all matters of doing life and living godly and through the avenues of any relationship but not limited in – Marriage, Friendship, Colleagues, Business, Career, Leadership, Ministry, Community and such like.

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK, that LOVE is at a COST to ensure one to be able to appropriate to the FULNESS, a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead.

May God found you faithful and in faith in His BLESSEDNESS, in experiencing the cost of LOVE, to be MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“BEHOLD, what MANNER of LOVE the Father hath BESTOWED upon us, that we should be CALLED the SONS of God: therefore the world KNOWETH us not, because it KNEW him not” 1 John 3:1.

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . .  8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

“Who in the days of his FLESH (HUMANITY), when he had OFFERED up prayers and supplications with STRONG CRYING and TEARS unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED he OBEDIENCE by the things which he SUFFERED; 9 and being made PERFECT (COMPLETE, WHOLE, MATURED, FULNESS), he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him” Hebrews 5:7-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“For this is THANK-WORTHY, 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: 24 who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls” 1 Peter 2:19-25.

“For God so loved the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 GREATER LOVE hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his LIFE for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I COMMAND you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:12-16.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the END. 2 And supper being ended, the DEVIL having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to BETRAY him . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By THIS (LOVE) shall ALL men know that ye are MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1-2, 34-35 (Emphasis Mine).

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURED COMPLETE FULNESS), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT” Matthew 5:43-48 (Emphasis Mine).

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 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 8:31-39.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For who hath DESPISED the DAY of SMALL Things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth” Zechariah 4:10.

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER end should GREATLY increase” Job 8:7.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, NOT by might, NOR by power, but BY my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“A FAITHFUL MAN SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“What is my REWARD then? Verily that, when I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I ABUSE not my POWER IN THE GOSPEL. 19 For though I be FREE FROM ALL MEN, yet have I made myself SERVANT unto all, that I might GAIN the more. 20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might GAIN the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might GAIN them that are under the law; 21 to them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might GAIN them that are without law” 1 Corinthians 9:18-21.

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

By Leave a Comment

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THE THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

Money (Finance) is a de facto medium of exchange. On it’s own, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ and to simply say – “THE LOVE OF THE MONEY” itself, that is, the ROOT of ALL EVIL.

Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence that answers and it’s answering man’s QUEST in doing life, especially when diligently, wisely and prudently obtained and expended without prejudice and dissimulation.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES and side EFFECTS especially when obtained by GREED and COVETEOUSNESS.

Herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE LOVE OF MONEY – obtained by GREED and COVETOUSNESS:

#1. It causes WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; BUT THE FULL STOMACH (GREED) OF THE RICH [WHO HUNGERS FOR EVEN MORE] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

#2. It causes DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows greediness and covetousness to breed in all forms, thereby create discomfort and unhealthy sphere.

“He that LOVETH SILVER shall not be SATISFIED with SILVER; nor he that LOVETH ABUNDANCE with INCREASE: this is also vanity” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“He who LOVES MONEY will not be SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES ABUNDANCE with its GAIN. This too is vanity (emptiness)” Ecclesiastes 5:10/Amplified

#3. It causes TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of set rules and regulations, even the statutory law, in order to get and acquire more at any cost – which many have become accustomed.

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: BUT HE THAT MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.  21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH hath AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“The TRUSTWORTHY person will get a RICH reward, but A PERSON WHO WANTS QUICK RICHES WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. 21 Showing partiality is never good, YET SOME WILL DO WRONG FOR A MERE PIECE OF BREAD. 22 GREEDY PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH QUICK but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty” Proverbs 28:20 NLT.

Money is good in itself when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to any and every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENTED, live GODLY, and to keep temptation, worry – anxiety and dissatisfaction at bay.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order in and for the community.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).

“If any man teach OTHERWISE, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. 7 For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can CARRY NOTHING OUT” 1 Timothy 6:3-7.

“But if anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, and especially for those of his HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED THE FAITH and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER” 1 Timothy 5:8/NKJV

“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 DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: STAY AWAY FROM ALL BELIEVERS WHO LIVE IDLE LIVES AND DON’T FOLLOW THE TRADITION THEY RECEIVED FROM US. 7 For you know that you ought to IMITATE us. We were NOT IDLE when we were with you. 8 WE NEVER ACCEPTED FOOD FROM ANYONE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. We WORKED hard day and night so we would NOT BE A BURDEN to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an EXAMPLE to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “THOSE UNWILLING TO WORK WILL NOT GET TO EAT.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are LIVING IDLE LIVES, REFUSING TO WORK AND MEDDLING IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. 12 We COMMAND such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to SETTLE DOWN AND WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12/NLT

Your INCLINATION will always DEFINE you in Christ Jesus stead. I want you to PAUSE and THINK about it as you ponder over this writ today. Therefore, incline your life to – THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is JESUS CHRIST, for He will beam his HEALING and HEALTH upon you and set you up on high to glow in glory and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Him.

The moon has no light of it’s own, but when it incline fully to the sun, the sun beam its light of glory and grace upon the moon, then we behold the magnificent glory and beauty of the moon – and scientists say then – Full Moon; but if otherwise, it’s called Opaque – Dark Moon. Yet it’s only a reflection received from the point of inclination that determines and indicates the differences.

The headlamp unit of a car have no light on its own apart from the silver linings designed to give a divergent output. When the little bulb fitted into the unit is switched on we see a beam of light rays and with the switch point regulated to give respectively the amount of allowable reflection we may think or say the headlamp light is high or low or full beam. Just the inclination of the silver linings within the parameters of the tiny bulb, an intense light reflection is obtained to give clarity on the path of drive or use.

In same scenario, as human’s you have no light of your own, but when you turn that battle of yours to God by INCLINING your hearing ears to the sayings of God, in the of Jesus Christ, who is – THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, He will BEAM the rays of righteous healings to all your various life matters as such: physical, spiritual, emotional, marital and other relationships, ministerial and leadership, career, business, governance and such like. It’s of such was Apostle Paul MIDDAY experience with the Sun of righteousness, that transformed and translated his life forever as written in Acts 26:13-19 (Colossians 1:13-14).

I pray for you now to see the need to incline your hearing ear to THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – JESUS, that He may beam His life upon you and give you the needed access to receive the enabling grace to your healing and health in His RIGHTEOUSNESS.

WHEN YOU INCLINE YOUR HEARING EAR – THE SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL BEAM ON YOU HIS BLESSEDNESS – IT’S FOR YOUR LIFE AND GRACE. AMEN.

“YE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A city that is SET ON AN HILL cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16.

It’s time to live and speak well of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead and not what life circumstances and situations wants you to be and or be defined by and classed, when you know it contradicts who and what you are and have become in the New Creation Testament of God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Therefore, don’t just EXIST – life is WORTH the Living – LIVE it then – make it HAPPEN – make each day count and account for your good and goodness, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

AFD AUGUST 2023 EDITION

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST 2023: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” – ON YOUR NEW DAWN IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and  Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that’s it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20 but not limited.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios but you have some and can testifies to it of that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore , it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to steppingstones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and

circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminent, dignity, revered, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprisoned himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And WINE that maketh glad the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to shine, and BREAD which strengtheneth man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted WINE, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have NO WINE. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“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 when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, These men are full of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-21.

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.

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 1:15-23.

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW: THE SPIRIT OF LIFE – GIVES FREEDOM AND EMPOWERS VICTORY IN LIFE AND GRACE!

In life, there’s no one single educational system in the world that is designed to educate people to tell lies or cheat, or run down government or any of the  societal vices, or SICKNESS, DISEASES and EVILS and WICKEDNESS we find in community and nations today.

However, there’s a LAW OF NATURE in doing life; it’s the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, which is operating knowingly or unknowingly on earth in every phase of doing life; and everyone by virtue of being born on earth found themselves to exhibits one or more of the traces of this law in their human’s nature and are affected directly or indirectly by the consequence of its operations.

But there’s another law, the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS – this LAW gives the LEVERAGE over the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. SIN being the cause effect for SICKNESS, POVERTY AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. And SPIRITUAL DEATH results to the PHYSICAL DEATH. Invariably will some to eternal death knowingly and unknowingly.

Hence the HIGHER LAW, is the LAW to enables one live in DOMINION over All bondages which are the consequence effect of SIN NATURE: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. Therefore, it’s imperative that you CONNECT to the HIGHER LAW today, and live FREE in Christ for VIRTUE and GLORY.

I ourge you therefore in Christ Jesus stead, to STRIVE LAWFULLY on the HIGHER LAW in order to WIN in life, live in DOMINION and VICTORY and to be FULFILLED in it all effortless and without sweat in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.

LIVING BY THE HIGHER LAW – THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS – SETS ONE FREE – AND KEEPS ONE IN THE REALM OF DOMINION.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus hath MADE ME FREE from the LAW OF SIN AND DEATH” Romans 8:2.

“And if a man also STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, yet is he not crowned, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY”  2 Timothy 2:5.
