THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES! 

“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” Ephesians 1:3. 

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God. 

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold, and more, yet it’s not about material wealth; it answers every quest of human problems, granting prosperity and fruitful posterity. It empowers us to turn the impossible into possibility and the possible into certainty. 

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions. 

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason. 

“Lay NOT UP for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 5:19-21. 

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3. 

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality and power and [c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21. 

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-7. 

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD. 

“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 5:4-5. 

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6. 

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – [Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4]; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28]. 

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen! 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

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” Ephesians 1:3. 

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 5:19-21. 

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality and power and [c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21. 

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-7. 

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2. 

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4. 

“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 a blessing, IF YE OBEY the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: 28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known” Deuteronomy 11:26-28. 

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-15. 

“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 5:4-5. 

“. . . 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: for a man’s life consisteth not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he possesseth . . .” Luke 12:13-21. 

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18. 

“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive THE BLESSING from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah” Psalms 24:4-6

REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS 

By Leave a Comment

REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS: BE A VESSEL OF USE [PREACH AND PRAY] FOR THE NATION GOOD! 

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are His. And, let everyone that NAMETH the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21. 

It’s time to be a VESSEL of USE and of CHANGE, and of CREATION and of INNOVATION in the KINGDOM – for the good and goodness of humanity – and it’s also time to stop being an ORNAMENT or an IDOL for whatever reasons if you must be relevant in the Kingdom cause of our God in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know of this truth, that it’s when we ARE doing life and living godly as a VESSEL in USE, that’s when we can keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay for the good of humanity – and in turn, we can then ADVANCE the good and goodness of others through the Kingdom cause of our God, and we can equally partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

We live in a timeless timeline, that tells why we must be engaged relentlessly in the preaching of the Gospel to the known and the unknown, unto the ends of the earth. The preaching of the Gospel is God’s set opportunity to show forth His power for the good and goodness of Humans salvation. And it’s as we are faithfully preaching the Gospel that we put in motion the God default de facto for the end of the age and to bring back our King, our saviour and our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen. 

“I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL, for it is the POWER of God for SALVATION [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek. [17] For in the GOSPEL the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God is REVEALED, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith]. As it is written and forever remains written, “The just and upright shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17/Amplified [Habakkuk 2:4] 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the WORLD for a witness unto all NATIONS; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

Therefore, be as vessel of God in use, let’s PRAY together after this PSALMIST in this act of PRAYER for the cause of the kingdom, thereby enhancing the good and goodness of humanity [mankind] in the world. So, while we preach let’s pray as the psalmist: 

“O God, in mercy bless us; let your face beam with joy as you look down at us. 2 Send us around the world with the news of your saving power and your eternal plan for all mankind. 3 How everyone throughout the earth will praise the Lord! 4 How glad the nations will be, singing for joy because you are their King and will give true justice to their people! 5 Praise God, O world! May all the peoples of the earth give thanks to you. 6-7 For the earth has yielded abundant harvests. God, even our own God, will bless us. And peoples from remotest lands will worship him” Psalms 67/LB. 

There’s the God’s LOVE that should persuade us and constrain us to ensure that we are relentless to PREACH the Gospel and to PRAY for the good of the nation, for mankind’s sake, on this side of the heavenly. This relentless Gospel preaching and praying is important and an essence as in the commission – GO YE! – until our risen Lord and Saviour will come. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] GO YE therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20. 

There’s this God’s LOVE for the world of John 3:16 derivatives concept that I have come to know while in an expository opportunity that’s worth knowing as it’s written: 

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

Herein is the derivates concept on John 3:16 in the following orders: 

  1.  For God: 

It must ALWAYS be for God all matters of the Gospel. The Gospel is for the advancement of the kingdom of God to our self-gratification. It should always be FOR GOD– which means to PLEASE God. Any Ministry that prospers, are consequences of having for God purpose in mind. 

  1. 2. God so LOVE: 

This indicates that the Gospel being PREACHED is of the Holy Ghost driven affectionate love. It must always be LOVE driven ministries. It’s only on the basis of LOVE that a ministry prospers and succeeds. Compassion must be at the centre piece; it was a major factor in Christ Jesus ministry. Apostle Paul was constrained by love – [2 Corinthians 5:14; 1 Corinthians 13; Romans 5:5]. 

The spirit of LOVE makes the Gospel ministry work productively. And love must ALWAYS be within the Gospel as in this love driven concept but not limited: 

  1. a. Love His commandments. 
  2. b. Love His Work.
  3. c. Love the work of God.
  4. d.Love His people,
  5. e.Give your all in love to the work.
  6. f.Youcan’t forgive without love 
  7. g.Youcan’t reconcile without love  
  8. h. Nothingsucceedwithout love 

 

  1. 3. The World: 

Ministry must be Globalised. A global mindset. Not family level, not village, not by limited numbers in community. God loves the world – globally. This must be the Gospel driven purpose and concept in context. 

  1. 4. God GAVE – LawofAvailability: 

God gave His Son, His skills, His talent and His all. Giving is the proof of our sincerity. Law of giving makes you to give attention to diligent work. [Proverbs 22:29], and nothing works until you work. Meaning, you give attention to give whatever is within your endowments to the work. 

  1. 5. God gave His “Only Son”:

That’s sacrifice, He gave His best in Life and Ministry. He gave His only without minding the consequences. The Gospel is on being able to make sacrifices – good time and challenging time.  

  1. 6. Whosoever BELIEVES:

The Gospel requires Believing by Faith. One must ensure and be assured to Believe in God and believing in oneself and the work of the Gospel for it to have a productive result. 

  1. 7. Everlasting life:

This speaks of the Higher life – The Law of impart and impact. The Gospel must have to be impactful because of the impart of the grace of God. And this the consequences of the Holy Spirit of impart and impact that’s at work in the Gospel. [Acts 10:38, John 4:19-30].  

For you ARE God’s ambassador in Christ Jesus stead, representing the heavenly in earthly affairs. Ensure it from where you are today onto the ends of the earth.  

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was NAMED, lest I should BUILD upon another MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand” Romans 15:21. 

LET’S GO REACHING OUT – TO THE NATIONS – BE A VESSEL OF USE – TO PREACH AND PRAY- FOR THE NATION GOOD AND GOODNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

Thanks for taking time to personalised the prayer for the good and goodness of the nation [with your nation in mind], and for being as a vessel of God in use and of change, for your nation to innovate, explore and create and such like atmosphere to solve the human needs. 

Be blessed in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you go preaching and praying to advance the cause of the kingdom of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18. 

“Therefore, IF ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 NOW THEN WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

“A WICKED MESSENGER falleth into mischief: but a FAITHFUL AMBASSADOR is HEALTH” Proverbs 13:17. 

“Thus saith the Lord, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things; that stretcheth forth the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; 25 that frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; 26 that CONFIRMETH the WORD of his SERVANT, and PERFORMETH the COUNSEL of his MESSENGERS . . .” Isaiah 44:24-28. 

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] GO YE therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20. 

“And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and PREACH the GOSPEL to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. [19] So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with SIGNS following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

DON’T BE AN ECHO

DON’T BE AN ECHO: BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE!

“For the EYES of the Lord run TO and FRO throughout the whole earth, to SHEW himself STRONG in the behalf of them whose HEART is PERFECT toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars” 2 Chronicles 16:9.

The Holy Scriptures of 2 Corinthians 5:19-21, declares that you are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus and an ambassador for Christ; Meaning, you are God’s VESSEL OF CHANGE for right living on earth as His Embassy and Ambassador [2 Timothy 2:19-21; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21]. God uses vessels and not ornaments. God needs and uses available vessels to put in His ability into such – in order to make the needed DIFFERENCE in humanity in our world; God does not need vessels that are of self ability that needs not His enabling for the good of others in His stead. Be wise to be that God’s VOICE – making the difference in humanity.

“. . . 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR . . .” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

Righteousness, the right to stand before God and on His behalf without fear, shame or guilt because of what Christ is done, is wired and imbedded in the DNA of your being, when you resolved to be a born again child of God in Christ Jesus stead. [Romans 5:17-21].

It is this right of grace to be not an echo but a voice that made John the Baptist, be the VESSEL of change to his generation. He dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in the wilderness gathering, and him being of God’s righteousness to give the hope to live in God and through God to others of his time and generation as it’s written:

“. . . The WORD of the Lord CAME to John the son of Zacharias in the WILDERNESS . . . THE VOICE of one CRYING [PREACHING] in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight . . . Then SAID he to the MULTITUDE that CAME FORTH TO BE BAPTIZED OF HIM, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? BRING FORTH THEREFORE FRUITS WORTHY OF REPENTANCE, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire . . .” Luke 3:1-18.

Dear Friend, let us silence the spirit of cowardice in our life’s to our generation for we are God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus; therefore, let us dare to be the VOICE for righteousness in our families, neighbourhood, places of doing life and in our position of noble grace and opportunities.

Endeavour to be APPROVED of God as His VOICE on earth making the DIFFERENCE toward others by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS rather than being an echo that’s lives on the HYPE and APPLAUD of men for self gratification and ego. God seek for vessels and not ornaments, and for your availability and not ability in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Ye men of Israel, HEAR THESE WORDS; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God DID by him in the MIDST of you, as ye YOURSELVES also KNOW” Acts 2:22.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

YOU ARE GOD’S EMBASSY AND AMBASSADOR – BE THE VOICE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – MAKING THE DIFFERENCE IN HUMANITY IN OUR WORLD.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS.

HAVE AN AWESOME WEEK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW. 18 And all things ARE of God, who HATH reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED UNTO US THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and PREPARED UNTO EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“For if by the trespass of the one (Adam), death reigned through the one (Adam), much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of RIGHTEOUSNESS reign in [eternal] life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one trespass [Adam’s sin] there resulted condemnation for all men, even so through one act of RIGHTEOUSNESS there resulted justification of life to [a]all men. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience [his failure to hear, his carelessness] the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of the one Man the many will be made righteous and acceptable to God and brought into right standing with Him. 20 But the Law came to increase and expand [the awareness of] the trespass [by defining and unmasking sin]. But where sin increased, [God’s remarkable, gracious gift of] grace [His unmerited favor] has surpassed it and increased all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, so also grace would reign through RIGHTEOUSNESS which brings eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21 Amplified.

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST: TO BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished, by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

THE BLESSING OF GOD

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!

“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” Ephesians 1:3.

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quests of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason..

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions  – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28].

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

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” Ephesians 1:3.

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where MOTH and RUST doth corrupt, and where THIEVES break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” Matthew 5:19-21.

“And what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead AND SEATED HIM AT HIS RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES, 21 far above all principality and power and [c]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come” Ephesians 1:19-21.

“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, AND MADE US SIT TOGETHER IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES IN CHRIST JESUS, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:4-7.

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH” 3 John 2.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and precious PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

“Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse; 27 a blessing, IF YE OBEY the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you this day: 28 and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known” Deuteronomy 11:26-28.

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God . . .” Deuteronomy 28:1-15.

“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 5:4-5.

“. . . 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE OF COVETOUSNESS: for a man’s life consisteth not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he possesseth . . .” Luke 12:13-21.

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.

“He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5 He shall receive THE BLESSING from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah” Psalms 24:4-6.

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME: INVOLVES FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE to make in life in terms of either being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – or to make the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves. And it’s only by following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT in your life that FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead comes to reality. That’s what it means for one to earnestly enact the charged, assigned, and commissioned mandate to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, so that you don’t just attained success but the fulfilment therein.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

The quest there in the concept to – OCCUPY TILL I COME – is you are prepared to let God be the lead in the concept, especially when you are subjected to circumstances that’s different from your expectations as Philip the evangelist experienced by following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for his life – Act 8:1-40; Acts 21:7-9. As Philip the evangelist in obedience – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, the ride and drive may not always be pleasing but you can deduce it’s your place of FULFILLMENT in Him. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skilfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen only for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry as Philip the evangelist did in obedience –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher, richer and fulfilling as written in Acts 8:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 And there was GREAT REJOICING in that CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to GAZA. This is the DESERT [route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of GREAT AUTHORITY under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to WORSHIP. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or to have a global or the glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; Evangelist Philip was someone whose goal is to be a disciple and follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit; and one who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip the  evangelist did in Acts 8. Such attitude toward God’s intent, is what I called and considered as one who is – OCCUPYING TILL HE COMES and OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. It must be noted for sure that SUCCESS is good but it’s relative in life to all and it’s of God however; but God’s earnest desire is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve FULFILMENT which is far beyond just being SUCCESSFUL. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us to be successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively as charged to – OCCUPY TILL I COME.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“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.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative to all, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s in doing this God’s given and driven charge in an unhindered and uncompromising way; and with anything of sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did in 1 John 3:8; John 18:37 and Apostle Paul did in obedience as in Philippians 3:1-16, and upon which others like Archippus was exhorted, admonished and charged to do likewise also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; which is far beyond – from just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE: IT GIVES FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to DO the WILL (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely FINISH His work” John 4:34/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s the CHOICE of being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – and the CHOICE of being – MERELY A SUCCESS AND SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves to passionate be driven with to become.

The quest there in the above concept is this – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for you? And especially when you know that the God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, could be your place of FULFILLMENT indeed. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life in grace and possibly in ministry rather than just having a mere glamour of SUCCESS or being SUCCESSFUL for men applaud and hype while unfulfilled in God’s intent for your life and wellbeing. Following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life it’s the only guaranteed for God’s APPROVAL and your FULFILMENT in Him as did exemplified for us to follow and walk in His steps as Disciples of Him in Father God by the Holy Spirit.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST UNTO THEM. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful 9r have a global or glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; that’s someone whose goal is to be a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – and who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8.

It’s called ‘THE BLESSING’ of God. It ENRICHES one with silver, gold, diamond, precious stones and such like more AND IT’S NONE OF THEM; it answers every quests of human needs, problems and prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

The BLESSEDNESS – “THE BLESSING” of God – is not silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones, property, car, position, status and such like. It’s the enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS of God that makes THINGS that we craven and do life to have and possess 24/7 like silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones, property and such like, to be tangible, real, reachable, touchable, likeable, loveable and more in Christ Jesus stead without sweat and effortless.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ OF GOD becomes a part of your being, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, effortless and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, wicked and evil world with diverse incomprehensible circumstances. Galatians 1:3-5.

You are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING’ of God and “THE BLESSING” of God is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus; the realm wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in private, secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate and used against you or on your behalf as it pleases them.

And it’s only by FAITH, the heavenly legal and vital tender can one ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into reality, tangibility, manifestation and operation.

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty that is endowed and endued in you knowingly and unknowingly, may abound with you and upon you; and with such leverage grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF – BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished,  by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s –  PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“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.

THE BLESSING OF GOD

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!

“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” Ephesians 1:3.

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quests of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason..

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions  – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28].

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!
