ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

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

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

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

“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy scriptures, which are ABLE to make thee wise unto SALVATION through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

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

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”

By Leave a Comment

ENACTING THE ENABLING – “POWER TO FUNCTION AND GRACE TO BECOME”: THROUGH THE “KNOWLEDGE” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. 35 And when the men of that place HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HIM, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; 36 and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as TOUCHED were MADE PERFECTLY WHOLE” Matthew 14:34-36.

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

Lots of Believer’s supposedly in the Faith of Christ Jesus stead, are living outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD; many are MORE captivated and influenced by the religious and denominational rites and doctrinal ordinances as they strictly adhere and follow without check and balance – which is through the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus stead. For the Scriptures makes it very clear that not ALL HAVE FAITH in the FAITH in Christ Jesus – meaning not all have their spirit being built upon the KNOWLEDGE of God in Christ Jesus, which principle CONTEXT is of the WORD of God that builds and establishes the FAITH in all that comes to God in Christ Jesus. Amen – 2 Thessalonians 3:2 (1-4); Romans 10:17; Acts 20:32; Romans 1:8-12; Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

I want you to know full well, that it’s the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH that one possess within, that sets one FREE – SAVES, DELIVERS and LIBERATES – from all forms of limitations and restrictions and bondages outside the CONTEXT of God’s WORD. John 8:32; 1 Timothy 2:4-5; Acts 4:12.

And through KNOWLEDGE you communicate the WORD OF FAITH to matters.  it’s only by communicating the WORD OF FAITH to MATTERS of doing life and living godly through the KNOWLEDGE of the GOOD did, that’s DONE and DEED in Christ Jesus, that brings genuine liberty and freedom, that all seeks to attain and possess,  in order to be fulfilled in God, in Christ Jesus stead –  Philemon 1:4-6; Romans 10:8-13, 17.

“Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I PROFIT you, except I shall SPEAK to you either by REVELATION, or by KNOWLEDGE, or by PROPHESYING, or by DOCTRINE? 7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a DISTINCTION in the sounds, how shall it be KNOWN what is piped or harped?” 1 Corinthians 14:6-7.

Many are in captivity and in various self-afflicted bondage for their lack of PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE which indeed is dangerous, jeopardous and worrisome each time I recall – how many SUFFERED in the Bible days as written:

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thought shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

Besides, the indicative of the above mentioned scriptures, many also, are working and walking in ERRORS and are been MISTAKEN for lack of KNOWLEDGE as it affects the path of doing life and living godly as the religious SADDUCEES where, in the days of Christ Jesus humanity, as it’s written.

“The same day came to Him (Jesus Christ) the SADDUCEES, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (IN ERROR AND MISTAKEN), NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I plead with you today to get engrossed with doing life and godly living THROUGH KNOWLEDGE for these but not limited reasons:

** DELIVERANCE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

” . . . but THROUGH KNOWLEDGE shall the just be DELIVERED” Proverbs 11:9.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

** GRACE AND PEACE, DIVINE POWER AND DIVINE NATURE – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“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

** TO ESCAPE POLLUTION OF THE WORLD – THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE:

“For if after they have ESCAPED THE POLLUTIONS of the world THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning” 2 Peter 2:20.

** WISDOM AND REVELATION – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“. . .16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM: 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

** OVERCOME BARRENNESS AND UNFRUITFULNESS – IN THE KNOWLEDGE!

“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:8.

** RENEW, REFRESH, REJUVENATE – IN THE KNOWLEDGE

“And have put on the new man, which is RENEWED IN KNOWLEDGE after the image of him that created him” Colossians 3:10.

I will like you to take an assignment for yourself by making out time towards searching the scriptures to find out, mark and highlight  every SCRIPTURAL place that indicates – THROUGH KNOWLEDGE, BY KNOWLEDGE, IN KNOWLEDGE AND SUCH LIKE. You will discover lots of what you’ve become in God, in Christ Jesus stead. It will bring forth a transformation and translation that will revitalise you beyond words because of the insights and foresight trajectory of the revelation you will receive of God. Give you go from today.

Be Blessed with God’s enabling POWER to FUNCTION and His GRACE to BECOME accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15 (Ephesians 4:8-16).

“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 THAT I MAY KNOW HIM, AND THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, BEING MADE CONFORMABLE UNTO HIS DEATH; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing” Philippians 3:7-16.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the Congregation of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE POWER, and RICHES, and WISDOM, and STRENGHT, and HONOUR, and GLORY, and BLESSING” Revelation 5:9-12.

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authenticate  that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven(7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the  use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) keys REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc).

** STRENGHT (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you –  in life and godliness.

“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.

Living in the fulness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfil His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE. Hence all glory, honour and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious acts; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“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.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

“Each time He said, “MY GRACE is all you need. MY POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can WORK through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT.

“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.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

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

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

“Though I might also have CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8 (Emphasis Mine).

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake BOLDLY in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

TO BE WILLING – TO READILY VOLUNTEER  ON THE DAY OF BATTLE: FOR OUR STRENGTH COMES OUT OF ZION – THE CHURCH!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Individuals, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in the midst of all the hates and attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I MAKE Your ENEMIES Your footstool.” 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF YOUR STRENGTH OUT OF ZION. RULE in the MIDST of Your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS In the DAY OF YOUR POWER; In the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the DEW [ANOINTING] of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV.

It’s time to readily VOLUNTEER and be WILLING as God’s UNPARALLELED STRENGTH that’s designed and structured as a default to come through ZION, which is the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For there, we shall RULE and REIGN over the ENEMY and COHORTS, in all their mode of operandi. For the refreshing, anointing and rejuvenating energy of the youth synergy for innovation, creativity, exploring and initiative, is within our being, to do EXPLOIT in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO READILY VOLUNTEER AND BE WILLING TO GIVE HOPE AND A FUTURE TO OUR GENERATION WITHOUT COMPRISES OF OUR FAITH IN OUR GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. ARE YOU READILY READY TO VOLUNTEER? WILL YOU WATCH THE ENEMY AND COHORTS HAVE THEIR WAY WHILE YOU WATCH? I HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND SAID YES LORD TO YOUR WILL!

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being.

GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR – THAT’S WHO AND WHAT YOU ARE: THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST –  IT’S TRIUMPHANT EVERYWHERE AND EVERY WAY!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail”

** S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest unparalleled force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS. And God has promised to protect, rescue and deliver you – the Church, from the evil in this present world and age. Just let Him be God, and He will honour His WORD as written:

“Grace to you and peace [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself [as a sacrifice to atone] for our sins [to save and sanctify us] so that He might RESCUE us from this PRESENT EVIL AGE, in accordance with the WILL and PURPOSE and PLAN of our God and Father— 5 to Him be [ascribed all] the glory through the ages of the ages. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5/Amplified.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being.

WE ARE God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, the Church Of JESUS CHRIST, with the eternal back up mandate to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, an OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in everywhere and everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore,

CHURCH ARISE!

YOU ARE THE CHURCH!!

IT’S NOT THE ARCHITECTURAL BUILDING!!!

ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2024

By Leave a Comment

ACTIVATING THE ENABLING GRACE FOR YEAR 2024: GOD’S GRACE IS YOUR PRIMARY AND PURPOSEFUL CALL TO – DO LIFE AND LIVE GODLY IN YEAR 2024!

“But by the GRACE of God I am what I am: and his GRACE which was BESTOWED upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the GRACE of God which was WITH me” 1 Corinthians 15:10.

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

There’s enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER to do exploit for you, in doing life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead; and now for YEAR 2024, same enabling GRACE accompany with God’s POWER in Christ Jesus is readily available for you and should be your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL stand to usher in the New dawning YEAR come 2024. It thus mean, that your utmost urgency now is for you to set out a special moment, to be WITH the LORD – to be in His PRESENCE – wherein you will be engrossed with Him to release you with His enabling GRACE and POWER, in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt SHEW me the PATH of LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

Our Lord JESUS CHRIST, knows what it means to abound in the PRESENCE of our Father God in order to do life in His humanity in the earthly affairs for the cause of the kingdom. He ensures that all His doings are as LED by Holy Spirit and Father God is in the know, in every step to ensure the POWER to function was there in fulfilling His cause and purpose of God for humanity.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness . . .14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he taught in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all . . . 22 And all BARE HIM WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 1-22.

“And in the morning, RISING up a great WHILE before day, he (Jesus) went out, and departed into a SOLITARY place, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to PRAY. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was WHITE and GLISTERING” Luke 9:28-29.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter YEAR 2024 and to start marking unfounded NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and  PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards because they are not SCRIPTURALLY based. For these reasons, herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb these unnecessary ARTIFICIAL display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR 2023 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR 2024. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED man-made and make-believe POWER of rushing your hours into your day before its dawn, has it it made any difference in you without stress and anxiety instead of God’s promised rest?

** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL and meaningfully FULFILLED? And He doesn’t want you to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? He does wants you to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE through His grace and power, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS?

** And God is about DILIGENCE in all sphere of doing life and living godly? And it’s not about just HARD WORK instead about SMART WORK through innovating exploring creating and initiating? And there’s the need to be PRINCIPLED in taking responsibility and accountability for your cause without blaming someone else?

** You need to ask yourself if the claimed you put in so much effort each day, and yet doesn’t add up, if it does make life WORTH LIVING after all? or you need to change your course into YEAR 2024 of needing God’s GRACE and POWER for His BLESSEDNESS?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you LIVE, THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; more so, not wanting to see you SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living;  also, to help you to know full well, that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you are being EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR 2023 closing down and YEAR 2024 starting up.

Know full well that your TIME to have a set out COMMUNION moment is now with the LORD. This is in order to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING nothing and just WATCHING aimlessly and armless into the dawning YEAR 2024.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands as some are consumed about, but to just be in the presence of Father God in the name of Jesus – ONLY and SOLELY – there MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is within this act that Father God can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR 2023 uniquely with His GRACE, POWER, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and biddings, without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to let you know that by God’s grace and power, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT of God’s PRESENCE into YEAR 2024 rather than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

This means in Summary that:

** We ARE SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him.

** We ARE then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed.

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God.

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and the not Stress, worry (anxiety), pressure people experience while they walk in their own effort to make things happen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE WORK OF GRACE

By Leave a Comment

THE WORK OF GRACE: ARE YOU ASHAMED OR EMBOLDENED (UNASHAMED) TO DO THE WORK?

Are you ASHAMED of the Gospel of Christ? When last where you EMBOLDENED to make your FAITH by the Gospel of Christ KNOWN to all ABOUT you. Are you still hiding from public view as Christ Disciple? Are you a hidden Believer of the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead? Are you not willing to make known your RESOLVED to be an AMBASSADOR of and for Christ Jesus? Which are you? ASHAMED or UNASHAMED!

You need not to be ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ for its the ENABLING POWER (CAPACITY, ABILITY) of God for human DIGNITY to be ACTUALISED in His divine PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

For me, in all situations, I am PROUDLY and awesomely EMBOLDENED to be Christ Jesus DISCIPLE and AMBASSADOR by the GOSPEL. I therefore encourage you today to be graciously and gracefully emboldened in all situations to be UNASHAMED of who you are in God, because there are hopes of many that can be RECONCILED to God through your essence in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall LIVE by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“For THE GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to LIVE self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this PRESENT age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to REDEEM us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone DESPISE you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“For God hath not GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND. 8 Be not thou therefore ASHAMED of the TESTIMONY of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou PARTAKER of the AFFLICTIONS OF THE GOSPEL according to the power of God; 9 who hath SAVED us, and CALLED us with an HOLY CALLING, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the GOSPEL: 11 whereunto I am appointed a PREACHER, and an APOSTLE, and a TEACHER of the Gentiles. 12 For the which cause I also SUFFER these things: NEVERTHELESS I AM NOT ASHAMED: for I know WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, and am PERSUADED that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day” 2 Timothy 1:7-12.

“But let none of you SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that JUDGMENT must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that OBEY not the GOSPEL of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.

“For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:10-13.

“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.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

By Leave a Comment

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

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

IT’S TIME TO APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE THE NEEDED ENABLING OF WHO YOU ARE AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN CHRIST JESUS.

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was and is, to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVE and GIVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVED to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but a struggle of the seven, in the Believers Day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive and accept it with thanks. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, continuous attitude of ASKING for the same, is what most Believers have made their acts in Prayers, even in their Fasting galore to measure spirituality; and instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS they are ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATUTUDE as the ATTITUDE in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

Most times Believers are occupied with programs that’s more or else attached with religious obligations, traditions/customs of men, oblations and bye-laws dogmas, and such like; and these in most cases had kept us in a particular routine and settings with no substance that can do us any good in Christ Jesus stead. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS and UNSCRIPTURAL. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY, COMPLETELY and live same time in MORE THAN CONQUERORS in our REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express in order to enact and authenticate your FAITH with the heartfelt attitude of RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING and THANKS-LIVING, which the principle core to your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ as stated:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc).

** STRENGHT (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly.

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF As – Car, Property, Money and More!

Having material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE may be results of God’s BLESSINGS but not THE BLESSING of God. The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS’ in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect as a result of its operations and manifestations. For there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff above through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways. Could that be God – NO. Hence there are not the BLESSING of God.

Also, to ‘Being Blessed of God’ simply Means – to being Empowered To: Succeed, Achieved, Become, Innovate, Create, Get and such likes. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus sustains one enrichment; it’s not just about having  material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich. For money and other material gains has wings, it comes and goes but THE BLESSING OF GOD that enriches us, ABIDES forever. Meaning, you can go being empowered to succeed again and again no matter what levels of challenges are about you. (Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25).

So, if you must crave and pursue, crave and pursue for God’s blessing and build your life on God’s blessing which will eventually enrich you and not just a pursuits on wealth or material acquisitions.

** God’s blessings are wholesome, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52).

** God’s blessings empowers and creates enrichment and fulfilment (Deuteronomy 8:18).

** Know also that you are blessed of God already (Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4), and it can be made tangible by faith – acting on the Word accordingly.

Therefore, I say to you, live on God’s Blessedness and all other things will come together timely. I pray that the blessings of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

“Will you set you eyes on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven” (Proverbs 23:5).

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER (Enabling) to GET (Create, Innovate) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18.
