ENABLING DILIGENCE IN DOING LIFE

ENABLING DILIGENCE IN DOING LIFE: BEING STEADFASTLY [BEING SMARTLY] AND CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT!

“Do you see a man DILIGENT and SKILLFUL in his business? He will STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, GLORY, DIGNITY, CROWN); he will not STAND before OBSCURE (MEAN, UNPRODUCTIVE, FAILED, FAILURE, SLUGGARD) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine)

Being DILIGENT is to being STEADFAST, being SMART, and being CONSISTENTLY CONSISTENT per time, on any matters in CONTEXT to earn the spotlight that’s so greatly desired. And it’s simply for this – A ROLLING STONE GATHERS NO MOSS; and when in life application you become inconsistent to the things you do in life, you lose the essence of BECOMING what you ARE and what you are INTENDED to BE in such CONTEXT. It thus happen in everyway in every works of doing life and living godly.

Show me a person who is DILIGENT – steadfast, earnest, consistent, smart, steady and work-focused per time – and believes in his or her doings, I will show the reasons why such has succeeded and or is succeeding and making good success; and why such a person is not surviving or is a survivor, but instead is thriving and accomplishing with results that is meaningful and purposeful in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. God rewards diligence, and it’s a hallmark to have the heavenly outpouring to our earthly affairs.

“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.

I pray you will not intermingle and have your life  interwoven with those who just TALK THE TALK and can’t WALK THE WALK, because they are not DILIGENT to see through their belief to come to reality, while they are desperately in desperation and in haste to become without the path of diligence to walk on their talk.

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of HOPE unto the END: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12.

I pray you receive every grace, wisdom and speed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in respect of the context of diligence in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATE] HIS LAND shall be SATISFIED WITH BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN persons is VOID of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE IN THE GRACE

By Leave a Comment

THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE IN THE GRACE: IT’S A BLESSED MARRIAGE!

“Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise BLESSING; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:9.

The scripture declares that He that finds a wife, finds a BLESSED [good, precious, gracious, lovely, admirable etc] thing and is qualified to obtain FAVOUR [BLESSEDNESS] from the Lord. What an incredible scriptural endowment and enduement upon the Believing marriage couple in the grace. And it’s simply because they are purposefully CALLED into the marriage to INHERIT a BLESSING as 1 Peter 3:9 enjoins. That’s why every believing couple in the grace should raise their heads up, shoulders high and on their highest heels of faith, because THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE is BLESSED in the grace. That’s why you must daily and continuously speak forth healthy and gracious words to your relationship as Jesus do speak forth while in humanity [Luke 4:22]. You can’t be speaking cursed words and swear words and regrettable words to your spouse in the grace and want the blessedness of God to be materialised, actualised and be fruitful at the same time in the grace. You must be intentional and pragmatic to speak forth healthy and gracious words of faith, hope and love to your spouse to keep the blessedness, thereby over time and time and time, you see the relationship blossom, refreshed, rejuvenated, rekindled, synergised, flavoured and such like. Your words on what God has favoured you in His BLESSEDNESS is gracious to enhance your placement in THE BELIEVER’S MARRIAGE in the grace.

“A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 22 Whoso findeth a WIFE findeth a Good Thing, and OBTAINETH FAVOUR of the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22.

“And all bare Him [Jesus Christ] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“A GOOD MAN out of the GOOD TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is GOOD; and an EVIL MAN out of the EVIL TREASURE of his HEART bringeth forth that which is EVIL: for of the ABUNDANCE of the HEART his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 66:45 [Matthew 12:33-35].

The Believer’s marriage in Christ Jesus is BLESSED in the grace irrespective. That’s the divine default set from the begining of marriage creation by Father God. And it’s irrespective on how you feel about it or think about it or believe in it or live in it and such like context you may hold toward it. And it’s not cursed or a cursed thing or anything as such as unnecessary evil as some may think or perhaps have attributed in their world and context. I just want  you to know without a shadow of doubt that the creator God that made marriage is able to keep it and sustain it through all phases in the grace if we let Him be in charge as by His purpose and design in the Holy writ.

For God in marriage creation, He BLESSED them [Adam and Eve] when He set the marriage purpose in place. It’s only what and how people do with the blessedness of God in the grace in Christ Jesus, that can make it be a desired blessing as in the scriptural default otherwise it can become to them by the alternative context as it may seem to be to them as if it’s a cursed or a cursed thing or the attributed unnecessary evil by the ignorance of the scriptures.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [MISTAKENLY, ERRONEOUSLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis mine.

Indeed, in scriptural context as of God, the Believer’s marriage in the grace is BLESSED. God has Blessed marriage by every measure and there’s no controversy for the believing one in the grace that lets God’s purpose and essence to be their DE FACTO in the marital journey.

“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.

In God’s BLESSEDNESS, to be [being] BLESSED is to be EMPOWERED to succeed, to achieve, to become and to prosper in the grace. For THE BLESSING of God is to enrich [make rich] and He adds no sorrow, regrets and setbacks to it. And the blessing of God is not physical per se, for anyone to be able to temper with its nature, or to adulterate it, or to pervert it, or to fake it, or to camouflage it, or distort it even though the devil and cohorts have tried severally. That doesn’t mean the devil and its cohorts have not tried severally to undermine the integrity of the Believer’s marriage in the grace, thereby ensuring that the BLESSEDNESS of God is shunted and disbelieved. Unfortunately, because THE BLESSING of God is authentic, it has stood the test of time, enriching all who hold it dearly as promised.

“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

The blessedness of the believing one is located and stored in the heavenly to avoid thieves and robbers; it’s there, wherein Christ Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father God and by grace we are therein seated at His right hand by the right hand of the Father God; and as such, no thief and robber can break in to devour the blessed treasure that the believing one in Christ Jesus is endowed and endued with in the grace, as a possession in redemption.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath RAISED us up together, and MADE us SIT together in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

“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 6:19-21.

The believing ones, the seed of Abraham by faith are blessed in the grace. And THE BLESSING of God is empowered by the Holy Spirit given to us in the grace, to empower and actualise in redemption towards everything that pertains to doing life and living godly [godliness] in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, preached before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of FAITH are BLESSED with faithful Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith” Galatians” 3:-9, 13-14.

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:5/Amplified.

And THE BLESSING of God for the believing seed of Abraham by faith in Christ Jesus, is beyond walls – for its firstly in the realm of the spirit of grace for our earthly utilisation; and as such there’s no colour, no gender, no tribe, no tongue and such like limitations to any, on the BLESSEDNESS of God as to the Believer’s marriage and in every aspect of doing life and living godly by the believing one in Christ Jesus stead. For redemption is for all and it cuts across – kindred, tongue and nations – as it enriches all that believe of God’s salvation and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, don’t think that your marriage isn’t blessed at all because of any geography, tongue, gender, colour and location and such like.

“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for ye are ALL one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:26-29.

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

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

The assurance of God’s BLESSEDNESS in the grace is found by – marrying the believing person you love . . . And loving the believing person you married . . . For, that’s what gives the believing one the synergy that keeps relationship thriving and flourishing, refreshing and blossoming, rekindling and rejuvenating in the grace . . . For it’s as the love light keeps glowing in life and grace, in Christ Jesus stead. The Believer’s marriage is BLESSED in the grace; you need to believe God’s Scriptural context rather than your feelings or what you see or experience and such like. It’s because, accessing the blessedness of the Believer’s marriage in the grace is by firstly acknowledging the measure of the grace and the measure of the grace that’s attributed to your relationship in the grace to be of blessing and not a curse.

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

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

The blessedness of the the Believer’s marriage in the grace is not only in believing but in communicating [speaking it forth in the grace, for out of the abundance of the heart believe, the mouth speaks forth in the grace in Faith]. Because our warfare and battle are of faith. The devil and cohorts are working 24/7 trying to engage with us on our faith journey. For the enemy knows that if one can deny the faith, then he can achieve and accomplish his purpose.

“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.

Like everything under the sun and in the world that God has made, there will be challenging times and difficulties in the marriage at various phase of progression in the marriage. There will be times of serious indifference and doubt and disputing in the relationship – but it’s the couple’s responsibility to see all as ISSUES and not PERSONS. So that they can together deal with the issues as they see it instead of attacking each other’s persons thereby giving way to distortion in the default marital blessing in the grace. The enemy and cohorts we know, the world system and it’s challenge we see, the flesh [pride of life, lust of the eyes, desires of the flesh] in us, and the religion [religiosity we display, denomination doctrines we hold to, sectarianism  and dogmas] will rise up against our faith in the marital grace. We must choose our battle, for we are only allowed to fight the good fight of faith and good warfare at all times. And when we have this understanding, we can then ensure our blessedness in the grace.

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

Therefore, I COMMEND you to God and to the word of His Grace that will build you up and give you an INHERITANCE in the grace, to take a stand in the grace, and start a new you in an onward and upward trajectory, assured as you ensure that you as a believer, your believer marriage is favoured and blessed and irrespective of the sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation about you now or tomorrow.

I pray you into God’s enabling grace to enjoy your marital BLESSEDNESS in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; he will be satisfied with the consequence of his words. 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. 22 He who finds a [true and faithful] wife FINDS a good thing and obtains FAVOR and APPROVAL from the Lord” Proverbs 18:20-22/Amplified.

“. . . 7 In the same way, you husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way [with great gentleness and tact, and with an intelligent regard for the MARRIAGE RELATIONSHIP], as with someone physically weaker, since she is a woman. Show her honor and respect as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your PRAYERS WILL NOT BE HINDERED or INEFFECTIVE. 8 Finally, all of you be like-minded [united in spirit], sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted [courteous and compassionate toward each other as members of one household], and humble in spirit; 9 and never return evil for evil or insult for insult [avoid scolding, berating, and any kind of abuse], but on the contrary, give a blessing [pray for one another’s well-being, contentment, and protection]; for you have been CALLED for this very purpose, that you might INHERIT a BLESSING [from God that brings well-being, happiness, and protection]. 10 For, “The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not], must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit). 11 “He must turn away from wickedness and do what is right. He must search for peace [with God, with self, with others] and pursue it eagerly [actively—not merely desiring it]. 12 “For the eyes of the Lord are [looking favorably] upon the righteous (the upright), and His ears are attentive to their prayer (eager to answer), but the face of the Lord is against those who practice evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/Amplified.

“Being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as [a service] to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as Christ is head of the church, Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also wives should be subject to their husbands in everything [respecting both their position as protector and their responsibility to God as head of the house]. 25 Husbands, love your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify the church, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present the church to Himself in glorious splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy [set apart for God] and blameless. 28 Even so husbands should and are morally obligated to love their own wives as [being in a sense] their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own body, but [instead] he nourishes and protects and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, 30 because we are members (parts) of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery [of two becoming one] is great; but I am speaking with reference to [the relationship of] Christ and the church. 33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear]” Ephesians 5:21-33/Amplified.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED, SPIRITED HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina

“But GROW [spiritually MATURE] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honour, majesty, splendour), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18 Amplified.

You are either RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED to MATURITY – and it’s this contrary, that makes the difference in life for so many. A MATURED spirited HEARTED person is the consequence of being RAISED in GROWTH. It’s a cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION – Otherwise, pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like limitation traces shows up, because they wasn’t any cultivation – of being RAISED in unto MATURITY in GROWTH. Hence you can see a grown adult by age and size, still lacking the ADULTHOOD principle of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will reveal and bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY. You see these effect manifesting in places of opportunities: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Workplace Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conducts test, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GREW, He submitted Himself to be RAISED through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Luke 2:44-52. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be RAISED in order to GROW and MATURED for the CALLED PURPOSE; and being MADE and ready to be, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW without being RAISED along to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character, were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some, who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised, and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish behaviour no matter their attainments in life.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? or did you just GROW to Become and or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE and WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME. It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLED enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

IS WORTH BEING RAISED IN GROWTH TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God RESISTS THE PROUD, But GIVES GRACE to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6.

“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 DRAW NIGH to God, and he will DRAW NIGH to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:7-10.

“Let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a SERVANT, and was MADE in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a name which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

“. . . 21 For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH righteously . . .” 1Peter 2:1-25.

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 Emphasis Mine.

“The FEAR of the Lord is the INSTRUCTION of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:33.

“Before DESTRUCTION the HEART of man is HAUGHTY, and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 18:12.

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS, BOTH HEARING THEM, AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and ANSWERS. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:41-52.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED, SPIRITED-HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina

“But GROW [spiritually MATURE] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18 Amplified.

You are either RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED to MATURITY – and it’s this contrary, that makes the difference in life for so many. A MATURED spirited HEARTED person is the consequence of being RAISED in GROWTH. It’s a cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION –  Otherwise, pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like limitation traces shows up, because they wasn’t any cultivation – of being RAISED in unto MATURITY in GROWTH. Hence you can see a grown adult by age and size, still lacking the ADULTHOOD principle of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will reveal and bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY. You see these effect manifesting in places of opportunities: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conducts test, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GREW, He submitted Himself to be RAISED through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Luke 2:44-52. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be RAISED in order to GROW and MATURED for the CALLED PURPOSE; and being MADE and ready to be, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW without being RAISED along to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character, were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some, who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised, and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish  behaviour no matter their attainments in life.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? or did you just GREW to Become and or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE and WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME. It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLED enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURE HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina.

You are either RAISED to BECOME IN GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being raised; that’s what makes life difference in so many. A MATURE HEARTED person is the consequence of BEING RAISED IN GROWTH. It cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION.

Hence you can see a grown adult lacking the ADULTHOOD principled of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will bring forth the true nature in CHARACTER MATURITY. You see the effect manifesting in places of: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial Conducts, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to be. He did not just grew, He submitted Himself to be raised through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be raised in order to grow mature for the called purpose; and being made and ready to be, He was given for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW only without being RAISED along to be in GROWTH to BECOME. They were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some who lack the mature hearted growth of being raised that are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish behaviour.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? or did you just GREW or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you what you are and where you are and what you may likely be or had become. It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in grace God’s BLESSEDNESS. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLE enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.
