About Becoming Whom & What You Believe

BEING A HEARER OF THE WORD: AND A DOER OF THE WORD! 

By Leave a Comment

BEING A HEARER OF THE WORD: AND A DOER OF THE WORD! 

“But be DOERS of THE WORD, and NOT HEARERS ONLY, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a HEARER OF THE WORD and NOT A DOER, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and CONTINUES in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a DOER of the work, this one will be BLESSED in what he DOES” James 1:22-25/NKJV. 

Hearing the WORD, the living WORD of God, is a vitality in the grace. To read and study the word is to acquire knowledge, which is a necessity to every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead; but to thrive in the grace, it comes by the hearing and doing, which is otherwise, the activation of the word of faith in the grace. And as important and gracious it is to HEAR the WORD; it’s tragic not DOING the WORD [James 1:22-25]. For a mere BELIEF in the WORD puts you in a passive position but exercising that WORD of Faith therein activates pleasing God, and that brings divine BLESSEDNESS in the grace. 

“But without FAITH it is impossible to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6/Amplified. 

When God’s WORD is BELIEVED as a consequence of Hearing the WORD of Faith, and then acted upon by FAITH with diligence, God is then obligated to honour His magnified WORD to reward as HE’S being pleased accordingly in the grace. For the WORD of Faith that pleases God comes by hearing and CONTINUOUS HEARING of the WORD. And continuous hearing is an act of diligence – being smartly consistently consistent in the grace.  

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your name” Psalms 138:2/AMPCE. 

“So then FAITH comes by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17/NKJV. 

To earn God’s BLESSEDNESS indeed in the grace, being a DOER of the WORD of FAITH is what makes the possibility and reality of the hearing of Faith. Anything otherwise results in a questionable act of belief, like Apostle Paul demanded from the Galatians Believers who drifted into inconsistency in their faith in the grace. There’s a DOING to accompany the continuous HEARING OF THE WORD OF FAITH in the grace; otherwise, adulteration, distortion, and perversion will set in over time, leading to giving one’s listening heart to unscriptural, subtle falsehood.  

“O FOOLISH Galatians! Who has BEWITCHED you that you should NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by THE HEARING OF FAITH? . . . 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He DO it by the works of the law, or by THE HEARING OF FAITH?” Galatians 3:1-9/NKJV.  

God is good and faithful, true and sure. His acts of faithfulness rewards diligence. Hence, there’s the need to be steadfast in keeping to the word of faith and in patience to earn and access the promises of God in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Being continuously diligent to the end, not half of the way or part of the way, but full assurance of hope to the end brings about ensuring and assuring the fulness of God’s promise BLESSEDNESS in life and 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 [UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL] 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 [SLOTFUL], but IMITATE [FOLLOWER] those who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12/NKJV/EMPHASIS MINE.  

It’s my earnest prayer that you take the health of your spiritual wellbeing seriously by ensuring and assuring that the HEARING OF THE WORD OF FAITH is accompanied by the DOING, in order to keep the alertness in the grace undistorted and adulterated. For the faith that OVERCOMES the world comes by THE HEARING and THE HEARING OF THE WORD in the grace. 

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES THE WORLD. And this is the VICTORY that has OVERCOME THE WORLD —OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he who OVERCOMES THE WORLD, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5. 

“But what does it say? “The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, THE WORD OF FAITH which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then faith comes by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17/NKJV. 

I pray that you will be blessed in the grace as you hear the WORD of Faith and do the doing of faith in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God, “That I will send a FAMINE on the land, Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water, But of HEARING THE WORDS of the Lord. 12 They shall wander from sea to sea, And from north to east; They shall run to and fro, seeking THE WORD of the Lord, But shall not find it. 13 “In that day the fair virgins And strong young men Shall FAINT from THIRST” Amos 8:11-14.  

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE and MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) DAY. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 20 My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE thine EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the MIDST of thine HEART. 22. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:18-23/Emphasis Mine.  

“But as it is WRITTEN, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

“For THE WORD of God is QUICK, and POWERFUL, and SHARPER than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the DIVIDING asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13. 

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST

By Leave a Comment

YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provide to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path that God made for them to BECOME, both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and the fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.

“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 3:11. Amplified.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.

“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH”  2 Timothy 3:6-8.

Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequence as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the society at large, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search for solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history, and unfulfilled aspirations, and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around, in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellious acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within, or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God CREATED MAN IN HIS OWN IMAGE, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them. 28 And God BLESSED THEM, and God said unto THEM, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS of men, who hold the TRUTH in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 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 . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God IN THEIR KNOWLEDGE, God gave them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are NOT CONVENIENT  . . . 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18-32.

Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

There’s GREAT POWER To FUNCTION In LOVE

By Leave a Comment

There’s GREAT POWER To FUNCTION In LOVE: And GREAT GRACE To BECOME In What LOVE Entails!

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

God’s LOVE it’s of the HUMAN HEARTS and it’s express effortlessly by the precious and blessed Holy Spirit of promise; outside it, is PERVERTS, hence no man can genuinely LOVE in the fullness beside what is Scripturally entails.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5 NKJV.

There’s the need to MANIFEST and DEMONSTRATE God’s kind of Love to this generation and dispensation. A world full of LOVE PERVERTS that’s indescribable in lusts and affections, hatred, evil and wickedness.

“For the EARNEST EXPECTATION of the CREATURE (CREATION) waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God . . . 28 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” Romans 8:19, 28 (Emphasis Mine).

Manifesting and demonstrating God’s love is of the Holy Spirit embedded in human hearts, that is – the human spirit (Romans 5:5; Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified). Outside it are acts of perversions. Hence there are many evils and in fightings today in the name of love (James 4:1-5/Galatians 5:24-25).

Loving God and experiencing His eternal purpose for you is of the human spirit, because God’s love is poured or shared only in our hearts by the Holy Spirit; and from that human hearts (spirit being) we can manifest and demonstrate God’s love in us. It thus indicates, when you can’t receive and comprehends God’s love in your spirit being to manifest and demonstrate it by the Holy Spirit, it turns to PERVERTS. Hence many today have in the name of love which is of the head (senses) and not of the hearts (spirit) done many silly, evil and dangerous acts that’s too marveling to comprehend (Proverbs 20:27/Galatians 5:24).

For example, when you keep BEATING UP your spouse and yet say to her or him – I LOVE YOU. That’s pervert and demonic, because it’s only in the head. When it’s of the hearts by the Holy Spirit, you won’t think or imagine to do that at all.

For God gives the POWER to FUNCTION in LOVE and the GRACE to BECOME what Love entails!

The Scriptural writ of the Acts of the Apostles indicates that the Holy Spirit is of – POWER to FUNCTION – Acts 1:8/Acts 4:33; and of GRACE to BECOME – Hebrews 10:29/Zechariah 12:10/Acts 4:33.

It thus mean in the context of LOVE with God, one can’t genuinely acclaim to love God and still struggle to be in His presence, pray, read the Bible, fellowship with like-minded believers and more – 1 John 5:1-3. God’s love when it’s of the heart – human spirit – by the Holy Spirit, life is at ease, there’s no room for excuses because God don’t excuse Himself, for He is love and in you.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK – about it. I know that very much. Do you?

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS (Human spirit) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5 (Emphasis Mine).

“LOVE is to be SINCERE and ACTIVE [the real thing—without GUILE and HYPOCRISY]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality” Romans 12:8-13 Amplified.

“For the EARNEST EXPECTATION of the creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God . . . 28 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 8:19, 28-30.

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and seek the best for one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves [others] is born of God and knows God [through personal experience]. 8 The one who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love. [He is the originator of love, and it is an enduring attribute of His nature.] 9 By this the love of God was displayed in us, in that God has sent His [One and] only begotten Son [the One who is truly unique, the only One of His kind] into the world so that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation [that is, the atoning sacrifice, and the satisfying offering] for our sins [fulfilling God’s requirement for justice against sin and placating His wrath]. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us [in this incredible way], we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has seen God at any time. But if we love one another [with unselfish concern], God abides in us, and His love [the love that is His essence abides in us and] is completed and perfected in us. 13 By this we know [with confident assurance] that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given to us His [Holy] Spirit. 14 We [who were with Him in person] have seen and testify [as eye-witnesses] that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses and acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 We have come to know [by personal observation and experience], and have believed [with deep, consistent faith] the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides continually in him. 17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of God’s judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of God’s love]. 19 We love, because He first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates (works against) his [Christian] brother he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should also [unselfishly] love his brother and seek the best for him” 1 John 4:7-21 Amplified.

“. . .  17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself] . . .” Ephesians 3:15-21 Amplified.
