MARCH – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS! 

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine. 

God wants you to be strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49. 

Apostle Paul was emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus, who strengthens and empowers, growing him stronger with every step, fuelled by the enabling – POWER and GRACE that comes from being in Christ Jesus. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus’ enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfilment in life and ministry. 

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES. 

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day-to-day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited: 

  • How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. 
  • How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. 
  • How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. 
  • How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS. 
  • How arerere you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by your your own intents and ability. 

All these above and many other quest that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11. 

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will” Ephesians 1:3-7, 11.

TO KEEP YOUR TOTAL BEING [SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY] WHOLESOME

TO KEEP YOUR TOTAL BEING [SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY] WHOLESOME: FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE! 

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified. 

There’s the need to FEED your SPIRIT-BEING healthily, in order to ensure and be assured that your triune [tripartite] being – SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY – are blamelessly preserved in LIFE and GODLINESS until Christ Jesus Returns. 

The battle of life is first on who control your well-being internally: Man is a tripartite being – spirit, soul and body. The spirit being helps us make contact to God while the soul helps us make life decisions of being in reason – intellectual, will and emotion, that’s detailed from either the human spirit or the body [flesh – (senses)], while the body help make contact with the world about us in every aspect. And it is the healthy state of a man that keeps man, the man [spirit being] of the human, that keeps one alive otherwise, we are traumatised and depressed when our spirit being is not connected to God by the WORD. 

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14. 

“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22. 

And in the context of our healthy well-being, the soul – that’s the being between our spirit being and body expressing it, must be fully Spirit-Ruled and Spirit-Led, otherwise it will be BODY-RULED AND FLESHLY GOVERNED. The soul is the expression point of whosoever wins daily to be in charge to make it either of God or the ENEMY and COHORTS. Your soul is the hub of the will, emotion, reasoning faculties and such like. When the human spirit is in control of the soul in its inclination toward God by the WORD, every things in life and godliness goes healthily healthy; but if the body, more else called the flesh takes over the soul, all manners of unpleasant and unhealthy fleshy manifestation we see within us and about us are revealed  

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

Therefore, FEED your spirit-being healthily healthy to be Spirit-Ruled by God’s WORD in order to live triumphantly, victoriously, more than conquerors and an overcoming in every way of doing life and living godly in God’s gracious and graceful BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – MEDITATING – IN CONTEXT: 

“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27 

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

“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS AND MARROW, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“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. 

“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, and a light unto my path . . . Psalms 119:105, 130. 

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14. 

“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22. 

“And the Lord God FORMED man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man BECAME a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7. 

“But THERE is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them UNDERSTANDING” Job 32:8. 

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me LIFE” Job 33:4.

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

God wants you strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what the Apostle was living with and through to advance the cause of the Kingdom of our God and to keep the enemy at bay. They were emboldened to witness for the cause of the Gospel because the great enabling of grace and power of God by the Holy Spirit was active in their work in the Lord God. And upon such act of grace they stand firmly in the faith to authenticate and enact whom they believe and what they believe and why they believe.

“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.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 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 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfilment in life and ministry.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). God wants you to be strong and emboldened in the faith as you do life and live godly by Him in Christ Jesus stead. Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are  living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES. Let your strength comes from the Lord in every aspects of doing life in the grace by God’s enabling power.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

And considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT. These and many other quest not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS

By Leave a Comment

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25].
 
For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/Feel. And that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual. Makes one incline to sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.
 
And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Then you can bring under control, that’s subjugate, the acts of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in all ramifications and irrespective.
 
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the MASTERY IS TEMPERATE [DISCIPLINE] in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY, and bring it into SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27/Emphasis Mine.
 
And while you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE able then to define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.
 
“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.
 
May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.
 
And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:
* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.
* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL
* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.
 
As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.
 
“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.
 
“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.
 
And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare; 19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having put away concerning faith have made SHIPWRECK: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfilment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day-to-day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE

FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE: TO KEEP YOUR BEING – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY – WHOLESOME!

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified.

There’s the need to FEED your SPIRIT-BEING healthily, in order to ensure and be assured that your triune [tripartite] being – SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY – are blamelessly preserved in LIFE and GODLINESS until Christ Jesus Returns.

The battle of life is first on who control your well-being internally: Man is a tripartite being – spirit, soul and body. The spirit being helps us make contact to God while the soul helps us make life decisions of being in reason – intellectual, will and emotion, that’s detailed from either the human spirit or the body [flesh – (senses)], while the body help make contact with the world about us in every aspect. And it is the healthy state of a man that keeps man, the man [spirit being] of the human, that keeps one alive otherwise, we are traumatised and depressed when our spirit being is not connected to God by the WORD.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

And in the context of our healthy well-being, the soul – that’s the being between our spirit being and body expressing it, must be fully Spirit-Ruled and Spirit-Led, otherwise it will be BODY-RULED AND FLESHLY GOVERNED. The soul is the expression point of whosoever wins daily to be in charge to make it either of God or the ENEMY and COHORTS. Your soul is the hub of the will, emotion, reasoning faculties and such like. When the human spirit is in control of the soul in its inclination toward God by the WORD, every things in life and godliness goes healthily healthy; but if the body, more else called the flesh takes over the soul, all manners of unpleasant and unhealthy fleshy manifestation we see within us and about us are revealed

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

Therefore, FEED your spirit-being healthily healthy to be Spirit-Ruled by God’s WORD in order to live triumphantly, victoriously, more than conquerors and an overcoming in everyway of doing life and living godly in God’s gracious and graceful BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – MEDITATING – IN CONTEXT:

“The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly” Proverbs 20:27

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

“For THE WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS AND MARROW, and is a DISCERNER of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“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.

“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, and a light unto my path . . .  Psalms 119:105, 130.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY;  but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

“And the Lord God FORMED man of the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the breath of life; and man BECAME a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25]. For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/FEEL – and that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual; and as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.

“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.

And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. And you can then define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.

“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.

May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.

And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:

* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.

* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL

* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.

As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.

“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

** How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

** How am you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by own intents and ability.

All these above and many other quest that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by GLORY and VIRTUE, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and PRECIOUS PROMISES, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE

FEED YOUR SPIRIT-BEING HEALTHILY AND WHOLE: TO KEEP YOUR BEING – SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY – WHOLESOME!

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and undamaged—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be kept COMPLETE and [be found] blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Amplified.

There’s the need to FEED your SPIRIT-BEING healthily, in order to ensure your SOUL and BODY are blamelessly preserved in LIFE and GODLINESS until Christ Jesus Returns.

The battle of life is first on who control your well-being internally: Man is a tripartite being – spirit, soul and body. The spirit being helps us make contact to God while the soul helps us make life decisions of being in reason – intellectual, will and emotion, that’s detailed either from the human spirit or the body (flesh), while the body help make contact with the world about us in every aspect.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY;  but a WOUNDED spirit who can bear?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A merry HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

And in the context of our healthy well-being, the soul – that’s the being between our spirit being and body expressing it, must be fully Spirit-Ruled and Spirit-Led, otherwise it will be BODY-RULED AND FLESHLY GOVERNED. The soul is the expression point of whosoever wins daily to be in charge to make it either of God or the ENEMY and COHORTS. Your soul is the hub of the will, emotion, reasoning faculties and such like. When the human spirit is in control of the soul in it’s inclination toward God by the WORD, every things in life and godliness goes healthily healthy; but if the body, more else called the flesh takes over the soul, all manners of unpleasant and unhealthy fleshy manifestation we see within us and about us are revealed

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

Therefore, FEED your spirit-being healthily healthy to be Spirit-Ruled by God’s WORD in order to live triumphantly, victoriously, more than conquerors and an overcoming in everyway of doing life and living godly in God’s gracious and graceful BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
