SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

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

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

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

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

A NO WORD for man’s being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17), which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and NO FAITH – one can’t PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

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

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

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

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God, firstly on PERSONAL level and other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 4:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

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

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level to THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (1 Peter 5:8-11; Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 1:7; Amos 8:11-14).

It’s time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well-being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve – (1 Peter 5:8-11).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT FOR THIRST. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD” Job 23:12.

“Wherewithal shall a young man CLEANSE his way? by TAKING HEED thereto ACCORDING to THY WORD . . . 105 Thy Word is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . .130 The ENTRANCE of THY WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:9, 105, 130

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: No WORD, No FAITH – No PLEASING Of God!

Firstly, FAITH is not BELIEVE. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE.

It thus means if FAITH can COME or activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. It thus means NO WORD, NO FAITH, NO PLEASING OF GOD – otherwise emptiness and noise making and God at distance.

Do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the The WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE, to all His PROMISES.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” Romans 10:17.

“But without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

DO DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

By Leave a Comment

DO DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: LIVE & WALK IN THE SPIRIT!

I know to what extent most of us in the Christian Faith DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God.

Some of us we let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great.

Honestly all these seems good; but do our ACTS of DOING them really PLEASE God? What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God?

Foremost, one GREAT ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one because God causes them to be at PEACE with you. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. Don’t you like that? Because I Do.

Is it not gracious that instead of having mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) with endless meetings of prayer and fasting, and night vigils, that you spent it PLEASING God who takes care of that department for you as the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 enjoined.

That’s what I enjoy doing and wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow: COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28.

Another ACT you MUST know and stop DOING right now and henceforth if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural privileged of Proverbs 16:7, is as enjoined in the Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

It thus states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives, which are of these:
** Hearing (Hear)
** Seeing (See)
** Smelling (Smell)
** Tasting (Taste)
** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the guidance of their five senses satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what your intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13.

They are always consequences and effects of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. DON’T BE A SENSE RULE BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined. If you feel Otherwise you can:

*** Ask EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (good to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** Ask ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge on his lost to birthright because of his brother JACOB porridge;

*** Ask King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival instructions;

*** Ask Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** Ask King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** And many such likes SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD?

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? Yes! Faith is ACTING on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17.

The WORD of God is spiritual and triumphant. Meaning FAITH is spiritual and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at war in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we walk by Faith and not by five senses – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE towards God. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies).

(More on this is in my later in the year coming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH

By Leave a Comment

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD: DO YOUR SELF ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST TODAY!

It’s high time you FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good in LIFE and GRACE, as you give your ears to the hearing of the WORD of FAITH – Amos 8:11-14; Romans 10:8, 17.

If ‘FAITH’, which is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate and obtain God’s attention COMES by Hearing The WORD, which is of God, it thus means NO HEARING of the WORD of God, means NO ‘FAITH’; and NO FAITH, means NO ACTIVATION can take place as expected to PLEASE God.

So, if I may ask, what WORD are you listening to? What WORD are you hearing then? What WORD are you giving your attention to? What sorts of information are you FEEDING yourself spirit being with? Is it God’s the one SPEAKING or SAYING His WORD to you or otherwise? Proverbs 4: 20-23. You better check it out, otherwise you may end up making God’s Word of NO EFFECT for your good, because of your TRADITIONS through IGNORANCE.

TRADITION and IGNORANCE? Yea, our self made culture, make-believe dogmas, man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence and more, which contradicts God’s WORD, the basis of formulating our FAITH in God – Mark 7:13.

So, EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God as some do when on crossroads abd cross fire.

Be BLESSED in Christ. Amen.
