THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE 

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING! 

“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. 

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom from God to excellently do life and live godly, as it’s written in the Holy Writ: 

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31. 

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing – called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all spheres that pertain to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8. 

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in the plight of grace, and in all about doing life and living godly, herein are PRINCIPLES for your perusal; this is to help you to think and ponder your cause and course, in respect to the plan, purpose and pursuit to attain your desires in the Scriptural context. And your expectations can only be possible through the principles of PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM: 

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE: 

  • PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence, 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. It thus also means that being passionate about something as in – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing: 

“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). 

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE: 

  • KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experienced the effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results in the grace. 

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling decision. For being informed helps to make informed decision in doing life and living godly in the grace; but a mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written: 

“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). 

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE: 

  • UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence, where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life. 

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written: 

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine). 

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15. 

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise) Proverbs 21:16. 

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of Passion, knowledge and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6. 

“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. 

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2. Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3. Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6. For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10. For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12. WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT). 

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified. 

SUMMAARY: 

The message focuses on the ESSENCE OF WISDOM in doing life and living godly, emphasising the principles of PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING. 

Key Points: 

  1. WISDOM is crucial: WISDOM is a defence, gives life, and is worth pursuing in Christ Jesus (Ecclesiastes 7:11-12, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31). 

Three principles for WISDOM: 

  • PASSION/ZEAL: Vitality for life plan, purpose, and pursuit, but needs KNOWLEDGE (Romans 10:1-4).

  • UNDERSTANDING: Key to WISDOM, helps make purposeful decisions (Proverbs 4:7, 13:15). 
  1.  Benefits of WISDOM: 
  • It Gives strength and safety (Proverbs 24:3-6). 
  • It Saves from evil and twisted ways (Proverbs 2:1-17).

Scriptural encouragement: 

  • Ask God for WISDOM in faith (James 1:5-8). 
  • Treasure WISDOM like a precious pearl (Matthew 13:44-46, Proverbs 2:1-17). 

Overall: The message encourages pursuing WISDOM by combining PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE, and UNDERSTANDING to live a godly, thriving, and fulfilling life in Christ Jesus.

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENHANCED 

By Leave a Comment

WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT! 

“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED. 

Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom. 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you, knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the need to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable, and liveable and loveable in all possible paths of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us. 

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified. 

I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact, and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified. 

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified. 

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12. 

“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified. 

“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified. 

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10. How was it then reckoned? When he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25. 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“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 3:13-14, 26-29. 

SUMMARY: 

The message focuses on the BLESSEDNESS of God guaranteeing and ensuring the redemption birthright of believers, both Jews and Gentiles, through faith in Christ Jesus. It emphasises God’s impartial love, grace, and promise fulfillment. 

Key Points: 

  1. Redemption Birthright Guaranteed: The BLESSEDNESS of God ensures redemption rights for all born of God (Romans 4:16-17).
  2. Faith and Grace: Believers access redemption through faith and grace, not works (Romans 4:16-17, Ephesians 2:8-9).
  3. Impartial Love: God’s BLESSEDNESS is without sentiments, prejudice, or hypocrisy (Romans 4:16-17).
  4. Inheritance: Believers are heirs of God’s promise, sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14, Galatians 3:29).
  5. Manifesting BLESSEDNESS: Believers should stir up and fan into flame God’s BLESSEDNESS within them (2 Timothy 1:6).
  6. Living Godly: Believers should work out their salvation joyfully, living godly in a challenging world (Philippians 2:12-13). 

Scriptural Support: 
The message cites several Bible verses emphasising: 

  • God’s promise to Abraham (Romans 4:16-17, Galatians 3:13-14) 
  • Justification by faith (Romans 4:1-25) 
  • The Holy Spirit as a guarantee (2 Corinthians 1:21-22, Ephesians 1:13-14) 
  • Believers’ inheritance (Galatians 3:29, Ephesians 1:13-14) 
  • Living godly and manifesting BLESSEDNESS (Philippians 2:12-13, 2 Timothy 1:6) 

Call to Action: 

  • Commended to God and His Word (Acts 20:32) 
  • Actualise, enact, and authenticate redemption rights and privileges (Ephesians 1:13-14) 

Overall: The message encourages believers to grasp their redemption birthright, walk in faith and grace, and manifest God’s BLESSEDNESS in their lives.

THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE

By Leave a Comment

THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE: DOING EXPLOIT WORTHY OF REMEMBRANCE!  

“Then those who FEARED [REVERENTIALLY FEAR] the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them; So a BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before Him For those who FEAR the Lord And who meditate on His name. 17 “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will SPARE them As a man spares his own son who SERVES him.” 18 Then you shall again DISCERN Between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, Between one who SERVES God And one who DOES NOT SERVE Him” Malachi 3:16-18/NKJV 

In life, you are either pursuing something or something is pursuing you. You are either being kept awake by something or else; something is keeping you awake. And you are either living by being relevant, pragmatic and intentional in life pursuit, or you are playing catch-up with laziness, slothfulness and blame-gaming others for entitlement. Know today that in the Kingdom of God in Christ Jesus stead, for our God to keep you in remembrance, there’s NO ROOM from staying STALLED and expects the heavenly signature. You are either going to be hot or to be cold, because there’s no in-between as being lukewarm with God. 

“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are NEITHER COLD NOR HOT. I could wish you were COLD OR HOT. 16 So then, because you are LUKEWARM, and neither COLD NOR HOT, I will VOMIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH . . . 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent . . .” Revelation 3:14-21. 

Our Saviour and Lord doesn’t tolerate irrelevant atmosphere. Such degree and level of truancy is prohibited in the services of God for anyone wanting to be relevant. God’s gracious endowment and enduement is not for selfish blossoming without fruit. Recall that Jesus CURSED the fig trees with leaves WITHOUT FRUIT – because there’s no corresponding character to make up, show up and back up, such level of been greenish. Doing exploit, by bringing forth corresponding results is important in the Kingdom for all the born of God in Christ Jesus. For any that refused to be productive and results-oriented after being born of God is living contrary to the word, as such, such person must not eat or given any reception to encourage their stupidity and slothfulness. 

“Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found NOTHING ON IT BUT LEAVES, and said to it, “LET NO FRUIT GROW ON YOU EVER AGAIN.” Immediately the fig tree withered away. 20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree wither away so soon?” Matthew 21:18-20 [Mark 11:12-14]/NKJV. 

“For even when we were with you, we COMMANDED you this: IF ANYONE WILL NOT WORK, NEITHER SHALL HE EAT. 11 For we hear that there are some who WALK AMONG YOU IN A DISORDERLY MANNER, NOT WORKING AT ALL, BUT ARE BUSYBODIES. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread” 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12/NKJV 

In the Kingdom, the blessedness that’s endowed and endued with graciousness and gracefulness and lavishly poured upon us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, is for a purpose, meaning, IT’S FOR DOING EXPLOIT; IT’S NOT FOR A SHOW, OR SELF-SEEKING OR HUMAN APPLAUSE. We need to be exploring, innovating, initiating and creating that good and goodness to advance the Kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, for the good of mankind while we look towards the glorious appearing our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in the grace. We are to be a living epistle in the grace that’s doing exploits unreservedly in the grace. For it’s a thing worth living through and through for the cause of the kingdom of God in Christ Jesus stead. Be the epistle that many can read the truth of God through and through in the grace. 

“Those who DO wickedly against the covenant he shall CORRUPT with flattery; but THE PEOPLE who KNOW their God shall be STRONG, and carry out GREAT EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32/NKJV 

“Do we begin again to COMMEND ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you? 2 YOU ARE OUR EPISTLE WRITTEN IN OUR HEARTS, KNOWN AND READ BY ALL MEN; 3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3/NKJV. 

One primary and great inescapable, global and supreme tasks that is available to everyone to do – is to preach the Gospel. To turn the hearts of many to God in Christ Jesus. Helping your family members, your friend and colleagues to turn their hearts to God, for the righteous causes, it’s the best gift you can give to any. And God honours and remember such Kingdom services that advances the Kingdom cause and keeps the enemy at bay. 

“Those who are [SPIRITUALLY] WISE will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who LEAD many to righteousness, [will SHINE] like the STARS forever and ever” Daniel 12:3/Amplified. 

“Then the RIGHTEOUS will SHINE forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear” Matthew 13:43. 

Therefore, it’s imperative that you get yourself on board now. You know that after salvation, you need to work out your salvation in the grace [Philippians 4:12]. 

I pray and challenge you today that you get on board to do things worthy for the Father God to be gracious and graceful of your labour of love, patience in hope and work of Faith. 

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, LABOR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake” 2 Thessalonians 1:2-5. 

“A man who wanders from the way of understanding Will rest in the assembly of the dead” Proverbs 21:16 

“Good UNDERSTANDING gains FAVOR, But the way of the UNFAITHFUL is HARD [DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING]” Proverbs 13:15. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is not UNJUST [UNTHANKFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOR OF LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV. 

SUMMARY: 

message emphasises that God remembers and rewards those who serve Him with faithfulness and productivity.  

Key points: 

  • God keeps a “book of remembrance” for those who fear Him and meditate on His name (Malachi 3:16). 
  • In God’s Kingdom, there’s no room for stagnation or lukewarmness (Revelation 3:15-16).  
  • Believers are expected to do exploits, be productive, and bear fruit (Daniel 11:32, Matthew 21:18-20). 
  • God’s grace and blessings are for a purpose: to advance His Kingdom and impact others (2 Corinthians 3:1-3). 
  • Preaching the Gospel and turning hearts to God is a primary task for everyone (Daniel 12:3, Matthew 13:43). 

The call is to: 

  • Be zealous and repent if lukewarm (Revelation 3:19). 
  • Work out your salvation with diligence (Philippians 4:12, Hebrews 6:11-12). 
  • Do exploits worthy of God’s remembrance 

The message encourages us to be zealous, diligent, and fruitful in our walk with God, trusting that He remembers and rewards those who serve Him with faithfulness.

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION 

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM DECEPTION – ERRORS [BEING MISTAKEN]! 

“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV). 

Erring or being mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates an act of DECEPTION – the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from DECEPTION – from being MISTAKEN, walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptural truth which is – The living WORD of God. 

That’s why sometimes if not most times, you hear or observe people who in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken? God doesn’t approve any act of contradictory to His WORD in any context of doing life and living godly. God is in bond with His WORD irrespective to whom and what context it’s applicable. 

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning, God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order for you to be BLESSED in your DEED in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [James 1:22-25]. 

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER OF THE WORD, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25. 

Herein are three INCAPACITIES state of the RATIONALISTS though not limited in the following context: 

  1. SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).
  2. IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).
  3. THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4). 

God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY”. More so, God does not want us to be RATIONALIST to His WORD or RATIONALISING His WORD either, if indeed we want to live in the context of TRUTH and receive the accompanying result of TRUTH and being TRUTHFUL in Him. 

This is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead. 

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN. 

THIS IS THE WISDOM – THE KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – THAT ENSURES AND ASSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

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

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (NKJV). 

“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. 

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED” James 1:22-25. 

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100. 

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being UNDERSTOOD by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are WITHOUT EXCUSE: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22. 

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27. 

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4. 

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9. 

 Further Scriptural Reading Text: 2 Peter 3:1-9. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of knowing and understanding the Scriptures, highlighting that ignorance of God’s Word can lead to deception and error. Jesus’ response to the Sadducees in Matthew 22:29 serves as a warning: “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God”. 

Key Points: 

  • The Dangers of Ignorance: Ignorance of the Scriptures and God’s power can lead to deception and error (Matthew 22:29, Romans 1:18-32). 
  • The Importance of Obedience: God wants us to be doers of His Word, not just hearers (James 1:22-25). 
  • The Consequences of Rationalism: Rationalism can lead to self-deception, ignorance of spiritual truths, and disbelief in divine intervention (Romans 1:18-32, Acts 13:27, 2 Peter 3:1-9). 

Scriptural References: 

  • Matthew 22:29 – Jesus’ warning about ignorance of Scriptures and God’s power 
  • James 1:22-25 – The importance of being doers of God’s Word 
  • Romans 1:18-32 – The consequences of ignoring God’s truth 
  • Acts 13:27 – Ignorance of God’s plan led to Jesus’ rejection 
  • 2 Peter 3:1-9 – God’s patience and desire for all to come to repentance 

The message encourages believers to prioritise knowing and understanding God’s Word, recognising the dangers of ignorance and rationalism. By being doers of God’s Word, we can avoid deception and live a life that honours Him.

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE 

By Leave a Comment

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES WITH A RESOLVE: TIME, EFFORTS [MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION], FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] AND PEOPLE! 

Are you keen to live in the realm of a More Than CONQUERORS? Also keen To SUCCEED? Keen To EXCEL and Be ABOVE ONLY? Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here is the WISDOM NUGGET guide for your today and tomorrow. 

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37. 

I want you to know that a colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousness, gracefulness and loveliness; however, it’s not a giveaway otherwise the beggar [slothful and sluggard] will ride with ease, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard [slothful] and idlers. It is for the RESOLVE to succeed, excel and to be above only, with a PRAGMATIC and INTENTIONAL plan, purpose and pursuit, and to BECOME in the grace, in order to attain to the fulness of God’s testament for them; for whatever had no process is an act of fraud, hence there’s the need to MAXIMISE your God-given basic RESOURCES to do life and live godly in the grace, and these are – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and PEOPLE; and experiencing the colourful and thriving life in the grace is possible as you earnestly and meaningfully endeavour to endorse, ensure and be assured of your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in the grace – for that’s to enable you to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you effortlessly and unhindered; also, with the enabling leverage toward an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30]. 

The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you readily and steadily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a more than conquerors that’s living victoriously, in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you. [1 John 4:4-16]. 

Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilise one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk/work in wisdom with your God-given resource in your day-to-day PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. 

It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUEROR, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity, I guess. 

I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11/Amplified. 

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED”. Romans 8:28-30. 

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is he that is in you, THAN he that is in the world. 5. They ARE of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6. 

“Whoso KEEPETH the COMMANDMENT shall FEEL NO EVIL THING: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5. 

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9. A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9. 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean (Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29. 

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his LAND will be SATISFIED with BREAD, But he who follows FRIVOLITY is DEVOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/NKJV. 

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. 22 A man with an EVIL eye HASTENS after RICHES And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22/NKJV. 

“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31. 

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises MAXIMISING YOUR GOD-GIVEN RESOURCES (TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL, and PEOPLE) to live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life as a MORE THAN CONQUEROR in Christ Jesus.  

Key Points: 

  • A colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousness, but it’s not for the lazy or sluggard. 
  • Success requires a RESOLVE to succeed, a pragmatic plan, and purposeful pursuit.

 PEOPLE) to achieve success.

OUR FATHER GOD – “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE” 

By Leave a Comment

OUR FATHER GOD – “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”: YOU NEED TO WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION IN THE GRACE! 

“For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that NOT of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God: 9 not of WORKS, lest any man should boast” Ephesians 2:8-9. 

Salvation, otherwise, redemption, is by grace through faith in Christ Jesus to Father God [Ephesians 2:8-9; Acts 20:20-21]; and it’s not by works or by our being morally good to appease and attain to God’s righteous stand in the grace. For our access to God to being justified is by REPENTANCE towards God and faith in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, in the grace as written: 

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

But after we’ve been born of God and now have access by faith, and to being justified to have peace with God in Christ Jesus, and to take a stand in the grace for virtue and glory, we are to WORK OUT OUR SALVATION in the light of the grace in Christ Jesus stead. It’s on this basis that our WORK OF FAITH, LABOUR OF LOVE and PATIENCE OF HOPE becomes an essence to do life and live godly in the grace, with the knowing and understanding that our God is “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”. Hence by God, in all we do and will in the grace, there’s an essence and assurance to our doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always OBEYED, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR [REVERENCE] and TREMBLING [AWESOMENESS]; 13 for it is God who WORKS in you BOTH TO WILL and TO DO FOR HIS GOOD PLEASURE” Philippians 2:12-13. 

As we SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him WORTHILY in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, there’s the need to know that God knows your WORK and LABOUR of LOVE in the grace. And He’s not unjust, unrighteous, unfaithful and unthankful to all we do and keep doing in the grace for the good and goodness of all. Hence, there’s the need to never let anything whatever to make you to slow down in the commitments and dedication of your assured kingdom causes for the good and goodness of humanity as you do life and live godly in the grace. And to authenticate the remembrance of His BLESSEDNESS to His own, there’s also the need to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope. Hence, patience and faith are a prerequisite to the inheritance in the grace as we follow after the part of the grace. 

“But, beloved, we are CONFIDENT of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner. 10 For God is NOT UNJUST [UNFAITHFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNTHANKFUL] to FORGET your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

God loves His own that reverentially worship Him worthily and serve Him acceptably, and unreservedly, intentionally and pragmatically for who He is in all about doing life and living godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. It’s important that you know while your personal works are not needed to access God in the grace to get born of God; while your work is of paramount importance to indicate you are not fake, a pretender and unserious in your choice of God in Christ Jesus after you’ve been born of God in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. And the knowing that your personal efforts right standing is a filthy rags before God in all measures of human endeavours to take a stand before Him – you need to know that our Father God is the God of REMEMBRANCE and will always honour His WORD and promises in the grace.  

“Then they that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that SERVETH him. Then shall ye return, and DISCERN between the RIGHTEOUS and the WICKED, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH him not” Malachi 3:16-18. 

“But we are all as an UNCLEAN thing, and all our RIGHTEOUSNESSES are as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6. 

Therefore, don’t give up in your labour of love, work of Faith, and patience of hope in the grace. For your work in the Kingdom and for the kingdom, causes shall be rewarded in the grace as you don’t give up.  

Blessed regards as you work out your faith in reverential fears in the grace. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT: 

“Be ye STRONG therefore, and let NOT your hands be WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5. 

“But as God is FAITHFUL, our word to you was not Yes and No. 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not YES and NO, but in Him was YES. 20 For all the promises of God in Him are YES, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. [21] Now He who ESTABLISHES us with you in Christ and has ANOINTED us is God, 22 who also has SEALED us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a GUARANTEE” 2 Corinthians 1:18-22/NKJV 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that our Father God is “THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE”, who remembers and rewards our work, labour of love, and patience of hope in the grace (Malachi 3:16-18, Hebrews 6:9-12).  

Key Points: 

  • Salvation is by GRACE through FAITH in Christ Jesus, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9, Acts 20:20-21). 
  • After being born of God, we must WORK OUT OUR SALVATION with reverence and awe (Philippians 2:12-13).  
  • God is faithful and remembers our labour of love, work of faith, and patience of hope (Hebrews 6:9-12, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5). 
  • Our personal efforts and righteous standing are like filthy rags before God (Isaiah 64:6), but God’s promises are YES and Amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:18-22). 
  • We should not give up in our labour of love, work of faith, and patience of hope, as God will reward our efforts (2 Chronicles 15:7). 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Ephesians 2:8-9 – Salvation by grace through faith 
  • Philippians 2:12-13 – Work out your salvation with reverence 
  • Hebrews 6:9-12 – God remembers and rewards our labour of love 
  • Malachi 3:16-18 – God remembers those who fear and serve Him 

The message encourages believers to work out their salvation with reverence, trusting that God is faithful and remembers their efforts.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IS PURE AND IMPARTIAL AND ENRICHING TO ALL – AND IS COMMUNICATED BY FAITH! 

“For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is NO DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:11-13 

The day I read that being born again means believing God in Christ Jesus stead, that our Father God is RICH TO ALL who call upon His name, and there’s no difference [distinction] with Him – my perspective, context, and content in grace changed forever for good and goodness [Romans 10:11-13]. Knowing that fellowship is to enhance the relationship with Father God in Christ Jesus stead [Acts 20:20-21; 1 Corinthians 1:9] it’s irrespective; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice or dissimulation, it enforced the understanding that God’s BLESSEDNESS isn’t limited to few;  isn’t based on status, tongue, race, gender, geography, or such like; but is enriching and available to ALL in the grace [Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-33]. 

God is no RESPECTER of persons. Indicating that God’s enriching to all nations is not limited by reason of geography; and His enriching to any is by having a right standing in RIGHTEOUSNESS with Father God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s when joy, peace in the Holy Spirit is known. 

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I UNDERSTAND now that God is not one to show PARTIALITY [to people as though Gentiles were EXCLUDED from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the PERSON who FEARS God and DOES what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified. 

“For the KINGDOM of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and PEACE and JOY in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who SERVES Christ in these things is ACCEPTABLE to God and APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/NKJV. 

The BLESSEDNESS of God in you, in Christ Jesus, needs to be harness, stir up and fan into flame in order to become tangible, reachable, liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, when it’s communicated by faith in the Holy Spirit that’s given to us. 

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6. 

“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” Romans 5:5. 

And you have to realise and actualise in your total being, that, THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is PURE, ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL to all, including you, and is the GOOD and GOODNESS of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. It’s presence in you is a default to help you to be EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT – that is, to be results oriented and productive, in bringing into reality and tangibility the needed things you need to do in life and to live godly, in Christ Jesus stead. It’s by your willingness to acknowledge that the good and goodness of God in you, makes all the difference in you and through you, in order for you to advance the kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay effortlessly. 

And it’s imperative for you to come for realise and actualise in God’s redemption, His BLESSEDNESS is lavishly given and entrusted to us to enjoy as our rights and privileges – without partiality, sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation (hypocrisy). We all have the same access by FAITH and stand by GRACE toward God in Christ Jesus, from every KINDRED, TONGUE, PEOPLE, and NATION. None, irrespective, is limited from God’s BLESSEDNESS by any means. 

“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. 

However, the FEAR of the unknown and through ignorance of not knowing what’s IN YOU to make a headway in God in Christ Jesus, makes people want to hold other person or people as an entitlement and being responsible and accountable for their happiness, peace and fulfilment. I want you to know and understand that FEAR will intimidate, harasses, torment, embarrass, cowardice, frustrate, destroy, limit and do such like, to an individual in order for such individual to be robbed of becoming what they ARE and OUGHT to be in God, in Christ Jesus stead. 

The above paragraph explains how fear effected scriptural young Timothy, who was called for a purpose and had PRAYERS and PROPHECIES ENDOWED upon him during his ordination. Despite this, he allowed FEAR, the ENEMY and COHORTS policing officer, to take hold of him, letting it rule and reign over him. This hindered him from functioning in LOVE, POWER, and SOUND MIND, making it difficult to make rightful decisions to progress and take him to the next stage of his life. 

It took Apostle Paul presence, the need for a very good healthy mentor, in reminding him of his ENDOWED BLESSEDNESS and that the spirit of God given in him to harness, stir and fan into flame within him to MANIFEST into REALITY – all the good and goodness he earnestly desired, does not live and operate within the sphere of fear. And that’s the reason he has to double up out of the spirit of fear sphere and all it represents, so that he can bring to reality the GOOD of God, done as a default in him in Christ Jesus. Amen.  

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the SPECIAL ENDOWMENT] which is IN YOU through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7. 

And where THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD operates in perfect love, fear and its sphere will disappear into oblivion and the individual can take on any judgement that’s challenging the FAITH of access toward God and the GRACE upon which one stands in Christ Jesus, in harnessing THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within, in order to create and initiate the heavenly atmosphere in our earthly affairs, as the Apostle John epistle admonishes and our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, taught us on how to PRAY.  

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT: because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT love CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT in love” 1 John 4:17-18. 

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, when ye PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, so IN EARTH….” Luke 11:1-4. 

It’s intriguing to note that 1 John 4:17 says, “. . . as He is, so ARE we in this world” while Luke 11:2 says, “. . . let your will be done as in heaven so ALSO on the earth”. This indicates how much we can, by THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within us as a default, we can create and initiate the atmosphere we want to see and enjoy of God irrespective of anything. For by the communication of our FAITH, and acknowledging of the good and goodness of God within us in Christ Jesus, is the HOW to harness, stir up, and fan into flame to achieve the EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT desired and needed results and productivity in our path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Just know today that THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD is PURE and ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL; and it’s not corruptible, neither is there a place for sorrow and anguishing for any to ROB you off it, so that you don’t go about blaming others by any means, process and platforms, for the inoperative of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you. All simply because you have not made an intentional decision, and have not been able to harness, stir it up and fan into flame – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – within you, because of the fear and ignorance of your own, in not communicating by faith, through the acknowledging of the good and goodness of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen. 

I PRAY that you might abound in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22. 

“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” Ephesians 1:3-4. 

“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” Galatians 3:13-14. 

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9. Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10. How was it then reckoned? When he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25. 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“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 3:13-14, 26-29. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – it’s pure, impartial, enriching, and available to all who believe in Christ Jesus.  

Key Points: 

  • God’s blessedness is given without partiality, sentiments, or dissimulation (Romans 10:11-13, Acts 10:34-35) 
  • We have access to God’s blessedness by faith and stand by grace in Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1-2) 

This blessedness enables us to: 

  • Create and initiate God’s atmosphere in our lives 
  • Function in love, power, and sound mind 
  • Achieve effectual and efficient results and productivity 
  • Know that Fear can hinder us from harnessing God’s blessedness (2 Timothy 1:6-7) 

We must: 

  • Acknowledge the good and goodness of God in us 
  • Communicate our faith 
  • Stir up and fan into flame God’s blessedness within us 

Scriptural Focus: 

  • Romans 10:11-13 – God’s righteousness and blessedness for all 
  • 1 John 4:17-18 – Perfect love casts out fear 
  • Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29 – The blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus 
  • Revelation 5:9-10 – Redeemed from every kindred, tongue, people, and nation 

The message encourages believers to harness God’s blessedness by faith, overcome fear, and live godly lives.

WELCOME [GREETINGS] TO MONTH MAY 2026 THEME: MONTH ENTITLED – THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE! About “Doing EXPLOITS Worthy Of REMEMBRANCE In The Grace” 

Welcome to Month May 2026, the fifth month of the Gregorian and Julian calendar months with thirty-one days. A month which is themed to enhance the achiever’s essence of being FAITHFUL and doing exploits that’s worthy of REMEMBRANCE in all of life’s labour in the grace. For our God is the God of remembrance in the grace, as seen in these but not limited in these scriptural contexts, as it is written: 

“Then they that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that feared [reverence] the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH him not” Malachi 3:16-18. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.  10 For God is NOT UNJUST [UNFAITHFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNTHANKFUL] to forget your WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE which you have shown toward His name, in that you have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

Shalom and kingdom greetings in the precious name of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. 

It gives me great pleasure and joy to welcome you into the month of MAY 2026 of the Achievers’ FAITH Digest edition, as we consider and take stock of our lives in many areas following the commemoration and celebration of our Redemption in the month of April. 

Now it is our time to launch out by taking the step of faith in the grace, to make manifest the essence of our redemption instead of remaining complacent – that is, in a disposition or tendency to yield to the will of others instead of aligning with the redemptive work of God in Christ Jesus in the grace. 

For many, the events of life have battered them, coupled with various disappointments and failures from those they so much looked up to, causing them to seem derailed from the faith toward God in Christ Jesus, even within themselves. But this month’s theme is to reassure us of the God we serve – that He is the God of remembrance of all our exploits for good and for godly causes in the kingdom, in the faith, in the grace – as written in the scriptures of Hebrews 6:9-12, Malachi 3:16-18, and 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5, and other such scriptures. 

The essence of this month’s theme is to stir you to wake up and make no excuses for losing out in the grace of our God because of someone else’s misbehaviour. Do not be derailed; rather, stay focused on becoming all that God has ordained for you in the grace through your redemptive knowledge of Him. 

I therefore welcome you specially to this month of MAY 2026 theme, as we examine the essence of: THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE! “Doing EXPLOITS Worthy of REMEMBRANCE In the Grace”. 

It is my earnest desire that in this month you will receive inspiration, revelation, and empowerment that will activate the graces of God to build your life and faith in God in Christ Jesus, as you do things worthy of remembrance in the grace. 

I pray that as we begin to unfold the graces of God in the light of this theme, you will find inspiration, revelation, and empowerment in this edition of: THE GOD OF REMEMBRANCE! “Doing EXPLOITS Worthy of REMEMBRANCE In the Grace”. 

And may our God help you, in the course of this writing on the theme, to find a place in His heart – to record your name and make a memorial of you – in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

Therefore, as written in Ecclesiastes 9:10, maximise every single opportunity that comes your way to make an investment worthy of remembrance – be it in relationships, business, career, marriage, finance, talent, time, physique, ideals, and such like – as you may be led by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, doing it with all the grace of faith within you. 

This is an achiever’s opportunity to create a remarkable imprint in life by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

In the course of the month, the theme will be explored and hopefully, you will see a reason to do exploits worthy of remembrance in the grace.   

I wish you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT: 

“Then they that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of REMEMBRANCE was written before him for them that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and DISCERN between the RIGHTEOUS and the wicked, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH Him not” Malachi 3:16-8. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, LABOR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in WORD only, but also in POWER, and in the HOLY SPIRIT and in MUCH ASSURANCE, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“. . . but the people that do KNOW their God shall be STRONG, and do EXPLOITS” Daniel 11:32. 

“Then they that FEARED [REVERENCE] the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and A BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE was written before Him for them that FEARED the LORD, and that thought upon His name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him. Then shall ye return, and DISCERN between the RIGHTEOUS and the wicked, between him that SERVETH God and him that SERVETH Him NOT” Malachi 3:16-18. 

“Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, 7 there came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. 8 But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what PURPOSE is this waste? 9. For this OINTMENT might have been sold for much, and GIVEN to the POOR. 10 When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. 11 For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always. 12 For in that she hath poured this OINTMENT on my body, she did it for my burial. 13 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a MEMORIAL of her” Matthew 26:6-13. 

“In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, “Thus says the Lord: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.’ 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the Lord, 3 and said, “REMEMBER now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly. 4 And the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying, 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the Lord, the God of David your father: “I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will add to your days fifteen years. 6 I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.” ’ 7 And this is the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing which He has spoken: 8 Behold, I will bring the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down with the sun on the sundial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward.” So the sun returned ten degrees on the dial by which it had gone down. 9 This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness: 10 I said, “In the prime of my life I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the remainder of my years.” 11 I said, “I shall not see Yah, The Lord in the land of the living; I shall observe man no more among the inhabitants of the world. 12 My life span is gone, Taken from me like a shepherd’s tent; I have cut off my life like a weaver. He cuts me off from the loom; From day until night You make an end of me. 13 I have considered until morning— Like a lion, So He breaks all my bones; From day until night You make an end of me. 14 Like a crane or a swallow, so I chattered; I mourned like a dove; My eyes fail from looking upward. O Lord, I am oppressed; Undertake for me! 15 “What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, And He Himself has done it. I shall walk carefully all my years In the bitterness of my soul. 16 O Lord, by these things men live; And in all these things is the life of my spirit; So You will restore me and make me live. 17 Indeed it was for my own peace That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 18 For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. 19 The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day; The father shall make known Your truth to the children. 20 “The Lord was ready to save me; Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.” 21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a LUMP OF FIGS, and APPLY it as a POULTICE on the boil, and he shall RECOVER.” 22 And Hezekiah had said, “What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?”  Isaiah 38:1-22 [2 Kings 20:1-11]. 

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, LABOR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you IN WORD ONLY, but also in POWER, and in the HOLY SPIRIT and in MUCH ASSURANCE, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.  10 For God is NOT UNJUST [UNFAITHFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNTHANKFUL] to FORGET YOUR WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE which you have SHOWN toward His name, in that you have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

The message is a welcome note for the month of May 2026, themed “The God of Remembrance”. It emphasises the importance of doing exploits worthy of remembrance in the grace of God. The message encourages believers to stay focused on their faith and not be derailed by disappointments or failures.

I shall walk carefully all my years In the bitterness of my soul. 16 O Lord, by these things men live; And in all these things is the life of my spirit; So You will restore me and make me live. 17 Indeed it was for my own peace  That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back. 18 For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. 19 The living, the living man, he shall praise You, As I do this day; The father shall make known Your truth to the children. 20 “The Lord was ready to save me; Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments All the days of our life, in the house of the Lord.” 21 Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a LUMP OF FIGS, and APPLY it as a POULTICE on the boil, and he shall RECOVER.” 22 And Hezekiah had said, “What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the Lord?”  Isaiah 38:1-22 [2 Kings 20:1-11].   

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, LABOR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you IN WORD ONLY, but also in POWER, and in the HOLY SPIRIT and in MUCH ASSURANCE, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation, though we speak in this manner.  10 For God is NOT UNJUST [UNFAITHFUL, UNRIGHTEOUS, UNTHANKFUL] to FORGET YOUR WORK and LABOUR OF LOVE which you have SHOWN toward His name, in that you have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO minister. 11 And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:9-12/NKJV/Emphasis Mine.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!
 
“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED.
 
Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.
 
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.
 
I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.
 
“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.
 
“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.
 
“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.
 
“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.
 
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
“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 3:13-14, 26-29.
