By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT’S A GIVEN AND ENTRUSTED ENABLING OF GRACE – MADE AVAILABLE TO ENRICH YOU IN CHRIST JESUS’ STEAD!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord BRINGS [true] RICHES, and He ADDS NO SORROW TO IT [for it comes as a BLESSING from God]” Proverbs 10:22 Amplified.

” . . . 3 BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAS BLESSED US with every spiritual BLESSING in the heavenly PLACES in Christ . . .” Ephesians 1:1-12 NKJV.

It’s a high time for you to HARNESS in grace by faith, your FAITH walk with God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to live unhindered in the ABOVE ONLY realms of doing life and living godly. For the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and is ENTRUSTED to all that are born of God in Christ Jesus stead; and it’s AVAILABLE to all to to enact and authenticate with no personal or group limitations; and it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) as in our redemption deeds of rights and privileges in the Kingdom.

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I understand now that God is NOT one to SHOW partiality [to people as though Gentiles were excluded from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the person who fears God and does what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified.

And our promiser and provider is faithful, trustworthy and committed to ensure your rights and privileges in Him are not denied by any factors, be it – human placement, geographical location, tongue, tribes and gender and such like. For His BLESSEDNESS is unto all who calls upon His name.

“FAITHFUL and absolutely TRUSTWORTHY is He who is CALLING you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will DO it [He will FULFILL His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Amplified.

“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.

“Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall RECEIVE the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the PROMISE is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, EVEN AS MANY AS the Lord our God shall CALL” Acts 2:38-39.

And the BLESSEDNESS of God is given and entrusted to all, and it’s available to you today for an onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s for the following reasons but not limited for you to enact and authenticate in grace by faith. Herein are the reasons for the given and entrusted – and available BLESSEDNESS of God:

** That you have in all sufficiency and abundance for yourself – wanting nothing – thereby giving God thanks in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17, 19; Ephesians 1:3; 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV/LB); John 10:10; 3 John 2.

** That the Gospel might advance in grace, and the enemy and cohorts kept at bay without limitations. Luke 8:1-3; Zechariah 1:17; Haggai 2:6-9.

** That you have plenty enough and leftovers to give to others in great needs without murmuring, withholding and complaining. Galatians 6:1-9; Hebrews 6:9-12. Luke 6:38.

** To make you, the saints in Christ Jesus, to abide in the FAITH – for poverty takes and sway people away from the FAITH. Especially in their seeking answers to basic necessities of life and more, they thereby fall prey of ungodly, evil and dubious ways to prosper and achieve the desired needs and greatness. Psalms 23:6; John 15:4-8; Psalms 112:1-3.

** To help cleanse the Church of evil and wickedness and such like. POVERTY itself and POVERTY mentality leads to stealing, robbery, bribery and such like. Proverbs 30:7-9; Psalms 112:3; Psalms 89:20-29, 34.

** To keep and ESTABLISH the righteous in DOMINION – as overcomers, victorious, triumphant and more than a conquerors in Christ Jesus stead. Ecclesiastes 9:13-18; Ecclesiastes 7:12.

** To establish, enact and authenticate His covenant as promised in Christ Jesus. Deuteronomy 8:18; Psalms 89:34; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Jeremiah 33:20-21, 25-26; James 1:17.

These above and many as may be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit within, indicates the graciousness and gracefulness of our God in Christ Jesus to see you do life and live godly in righteousness, in the kingdom, on this side of the heavenly in our earthly temporary domain. The whole concept is the essence of you knowing and understanding your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Now that you know that the BLESSEDNESS of God is a GIVEN and ENTRUSTED, and also AVAILABLE for you in grace, what manner of person OUGHT you to become in your path of doing life and to live godly in Christ Jesus stead; this is in order to help you to be fulfilled meaningfully the purposefully for the while you are ENDOWED and ENTRUSTED with God’s BLESSEDNESS.  SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 . . . 26 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 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; FOR HE IS FAITHFUL THAT PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“. . . 3 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; 8 wherein he hath ABOUNDED TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence; 9 having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 that in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 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: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:1-12.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED LIKE PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN UNTO US ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us EXCEEDING GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021: MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY – “Month Of Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION –  Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of  WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfil PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believer’s by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him.

And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit, is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I therefore pray today for your onward, upward and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowment and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I therefore WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit . . .” Hebrews 6:1-9.

“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.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN grace according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, AND GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“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. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“. . . 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT . . .  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” Galatians 2:20-21.

SCRIPTURAL READING IN CONTEXT: Galatians 5:22-25; John 15:1-16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Romans 12:3-8. Hebrews 6:1-9.

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS: IT’S THE ONLY UNIFYING BOND OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES [GREEKS] – IN REDEMPTION!

“Give NONE offence, NEITHER to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD” 1 Corinthians 10:32.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

The scriptures of the New Testament are grossly fielded with matters of the JEWS and GENTILES – which sometimes the context of the GENTILE in reference is applicable to the GREEKS indicating they are same.

People in the New Testament CONTEXT are classified into TWO and the THIRD groups of people. The FIRST group are THE JEWS, who are the custodian of THE LAW under Moses and depicted as the NATURAL OFFSPRING of Abraham, while the SECOND group are THE GENTILES, often depict as the GREEK, which together are summed to represent all people (called unbelievers) irrespective, who are not the Jews and having no law of God as the natural Jews, thereby are seen to reason in their ways outside the law or commandments of God as given through Moses with the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham [Ephesians 2:1-22; Philippians 3:1-16; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Romans 2:17-29].

Most times in the scriptural context, the natural JEWS are classed as those of the CIRCUMCISION, while the GENTILES [GREEKS] are classed as the UNCIRCUMCISION. When either of The Jews – the CIRCUMCISION and The Gentiles [Greeks] – UNCIRCUMCISION gets BORN AGAIN [BORN OF GOD] into Christ Jesus, they form the basis for the THIRD groups called – THE CHURCH OF GOD. It thus means that the Jews and Gentiles are UNIFIED and BONDED only in Christ Jesus – in the REDEMPTION – the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus stead, for all mankind irrespective. Hence, the once term Gentile and Jew are UNIFIED and BONDED by REDEMPTION and have now become together – the spiritual Jews [these are New Creation – having the law of God written in their hearts and with the written word available to them], which CIRCUMCISION is of the HEART and not of the FLESH as written:

“For the name of God is blasphemed among the GENTILES through you, as it is written. 25 For CIRCUMCISION verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy CIRCUMCISION is made UNCIRCUMCISION. 26 Therefore if the UNCIRCUMCISION keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his UNCIRCUMCISION be counted for CIRCUMCISION? 27 And shall not UNCIRCUMCISION which is BY NATURE, if it FULFIL THE LAW, judge thee, who by the letter and CIRCUMCISION dost transgress the law? 28 For he is Not A Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: 29 but he is a JEW, which is one INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:24-29.

It’s on the basis of the REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, that formulated the principle that makes up of the “JEWS” and the “Gentiles” to become ascribed as “THE CHURCH OF GOD”. This gives both the basis to sing a common new sung instead of their respective old sung of difference that gives no wholesome stands and access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The song that binds together the redeemed from every kindred, tongue, people and nation as it’s written:

“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.

Today, the redeemed – born of God Jews and Gentiles that have been bonded to become the Church of God, can now together, without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy), have a STAND by GRACE to ACCESS by FAITH and ENJOY their REDEMPTION RIGHTS and Privileges, in Christ Jesus. For “THE CHURCH OF GOD” that consist of both the REDEEMED Jews and Gentiles – is God’s physical enabling on earth that guarantees the ensuring of the rights and privileges into His BLESSEDNESS to ‘POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION’ in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

The CHURCH OF GOD, which is the CITY of God, the EMBASSY of God, the TEMPLE of God, the HOUSEHOLD of FAITH, the BODY of Christ, the AMBASSADOR of Christ and the MOUNT ZION and such like – is you, the redeemed (born of God) Jews and Gentiles. And knowingly and unknowingly, your being by redemption, is having the DNA of God in Christ Jesus to POSSESS God’s BLESSEDNESS, and in POSSESSING your Possessions as inheritance, in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. For there’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION both THE JEWS and THE GENTILES – THE CHURCH OF GOD.

In Possessing your Kingdom PRIVILEGED and RIGHTFUL possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start, is to get along WITH – THE CHURCH OF GOD – the ASSEMBLY or INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH OF GOD in a physical assembly – so goes YOU and THE NATION at large, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons. For in any ingathering the Holy Writ thus indicates the heavenly are equally present as it’s written:

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that SPEAKETH better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING to ENSURE God’s BLESSEDNESS, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the local assembly Church of the Body of Christ Jesus, in order to BECOME a part to FUNCTION effectually and efficiently. There’s no room for a lone person outside the body that’s perfectly meant to be joined together – Ephesians 4:7-16. The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God – the Church of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly – by coming together, for the ingathering. The principal order of grace enables one and all, to access and receive these but not limited:

* DELIVERANCE from all sorts (you name it).

* HOLINESS – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that has intentionally BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in God’s REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, we can now be emboldened to say, declare, announce, proclaim that our DOMINION IN REDEMPTION is beyond walls – and it’s the UNIFYING BOND of the JEWS and the GENTILES (GREEKS) in becoming –

THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS, NOR TO THE GENTILES, NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:30-33.

“For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6 For IN Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH which worketh by love . . . 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach CIRCUMCISION, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the OFFENCE of the cross ceased” Galatians 5:5-6, 11.

“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth . . . 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 10:4-6, 11-13.

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED US to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN TO US the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to BE sin for us, who KNEW NO sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“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 . . . 26 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 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with WISDOM of WORDS, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that PERISH FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which ARE SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS require a SIGN, and the GREEKS seek after WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the GREEKS FOOLISHNESS; 24 but unto them which are called, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD . . .30 But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord”  1 Corinthians 1:17-24, 30-31.

“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.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 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 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT: FORGIVENESS AND FORGETFULNESS – MADE POSSIBLE IN THE JUSTIFICATION OF GOD – IN CHRIST JESUS!

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

Are you struggling to FORGIVE and FORGET? Do you still go FISHING the PAST to hunt and hurt the PRESENT? Do you wants to live WHOLE again from bitterness, anger, wrath, revenge and more?  There’s hope in REDEMPTION. You can possess your WHOLENESS in Redemption again.

In today’s society – individuals, families, businesses, communities, and nations, government and governance are been ruin everyday by everyway because of the inability to not FORGIVE and to FORGET; and to move FORWARD, which is ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, in God’s given grace to succeed in Christ Jesus stead.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

The ability to forgive YOURSELF, forgive OTHERS and accept GOD’S forgiveness will guarantee you the graciousness and gracefulness to live WHOLE in FORGETFULNESS and become free from the cancerous monster of BITTERNESS, ANGER, REVENGE, WRATH, WICKEDNESS and such like – the more.

I make bold to say that to be WHOLE in spirit, soul and body, the antidote to forgive and forget with ease, is to let JUSTIFICATION play the means route and role in all forms of FORGIVENESS. That’s the gateway to FORGETFULNESS in moving FORWARD – that is, ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory on what God DID in Christ Jesus for us all to be WHOLE again in Him. Romans 5:1-2.

He did not only FORGIVES us IN our sins and shortfalls of evils and wickedness and more, but JUSTIFIED us, which is an antidote, so that we CAN now access Him in our UPWARDS, INWARDS and ONWARDS day to day life of grace.

And to JUSTIFY is to declare you guiltless, discharge and free, that is, to be ACQUITTED, as if you’ve never done what you’ve been accused of or have done. This is what God accomplished by using the eternal DONE DEED DID of Christ in our REDEMPTION; to set us free with NO FISHING NET of REMEMBRANCE attached; in order to erase our PAST, wherein our iniquity has been buried in the sea of FORGETFULNESS. Micah 7:18-19.

Hence to say that the New Creation in Christ has no PAST. And when you act in same like spirit towards others, you will live free of BITTERNESS, ANGER, WRATH, FEAR, WORRY, REVENGE and such like the more; otherwise it hunts and hurts as a cancerous disease on the one who refuses to both FORGIVE and FORGET.

NO MORE FISHING ON YOUR HURT – FORGIVENESS IS POSSIBLE IN REDEMPTION THROUGH JUSTIFICATION ACTS AND PROCESSES IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

I pray you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in this knowing and understanding, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into this GRACE wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:1-2, 5-11.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH NOT HIS ANGER FOR EVER, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will turn again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the sea” Micah 7:18-19.

“Therefore if ANY man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are PASSED away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 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.

“If thine ENEMY BE HUNGRY, GIVE HIM BREAD to eat; and if he BE THIRSTY, GIVE HIM WATER to drink: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall REWARD thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Therefore if thine ENEMY HUNGER, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but overcome evil with good” Romans 12:20-21.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT (CHALLENGE): BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE) LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 Emphasis Mine.

“We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we LOVE the brethren. He that LOVETH NOT his brother ABIDETH in DEATH. 15 Whosoever HATETH his brother is a MURDERER: and ye know that NO MURDERER hath ETERNAL LIFE ABIDING in him. 16 Hereby PERCEIVE we the LOVE of God, because he LAID DOWN his life for us: and we OUGHT TO LAY DOWN our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:14-16.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour, and HATE thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, DO GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE)” Matthew 5:43-48 Emphasis Mine.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

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

ENSURING OUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING OUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: WE ARE REDEEMED TO REIGN ON THE EARTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

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.

We are REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead to REIGN on the earth. And to REIGN is to exercise and ensure the spirit of DOMINON with the REDEMPTION DEED of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus – over the ENEMY and COHORTS elements of this world that have held and had us in bondage in diverse ways respectively. For He has saved us and washed us with His blood from our sin and made us to reign and rule in life and to become His own in life and grace.

“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.

And to REIGN in our REDEMPTION is to REIGN in grace, in righteousness and in life within God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Thereby, giving thanks with a heartfelt attitude of gratefulness and thankfulness in gratitude to what God by Christ Jesus have DONE IN US, He’s DOING FOR US and DOING THROUGH US by His WORD and the Holy Spirit in HIS LOVE.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED US from the POWER of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) US into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).

What is BLESSEDNESS? The state (realm, sphere, position) of being BLESSED – with divine favour; A state of divine happiness that’s indescribable and unimaginable and incomprehensible in Christ Jesus. Romans 4:5-10 *(vs 6, 9); 2 Corinthians 5:19 (17-21); Ephesians 1:3-4, 20; Ephesians 2:6-8.

What is ‘The BLESSING of God’? The BLESSEDNESS of God – is about living within the PURPOSE and POWER of God in REDEMPTION. It’s not about car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like. ‘The Blessing of God’ is that God’s enabling endowments that cause the desired need of life as – car, money, gold, precious stones, property, qualification, status and such like – to materializes in essence to be tangible, reachable, loveable and acceptable. Proverbs 10:25; Ephesians 1:3; Matthew 6:19-21.

Note these two parts difference between the New Creation BLESSEDNESS and the Old Creation BLESSEDNESS:

  • We are UNCONDITIONALLY BLESSED and POSITIONED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Covenant in the New Creation in Christ Jesus – Ephesians 1:3-4, 20; Ephesians 2:6-8; Galatians 3:13-14, 6-9, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 1:26-28.
  • We are CONDITIONALLY BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in the Old Covenant. And this is not applicable for the new creation in Christ Jesus. For you can’t put a new wine in a old wineskin bottle. (Deuteronomy 28:1-14 (Note the “if” of vs 1-2, 9, 13).

The Praying wisdom in BLESSEDNESS – is by Praying SCRIPTURALLY – which is within the concept of our REDEMPTION (And not on Religion or Religious setting or DENOMINATIONAL creed and dogmas that avails nothing but confusion and bondages). Few examples of the New Creation Dominon praying is in making a prayer declaration in this wise:

  • Luke 4:22 (Gracious Words)
  • Revelation 5:9-10 (New Sung – no more unbelieving and sorrowful and defeated song)
  • 2 Corinthians 2:14 – Thankful Prayers
  • 1 Corinthians 15:57 – Thankful Prayer
  • Colossians 1:12 – Giving THANKS to God
  • Philippians 4:4-7 – Giving THANKS to God
  • Hebrews 13:15 – Giving Thanks

*[What you’ve been blessed with requires acceptance and thanks – unlike religious prayers based on sentiments and feelings and noise making with unscriptural basis].

The GOSPEL Message: Acts 20:20-21 *(1 Corinthians 10:32; 1 :18-24; Galatians 3 :6-9, 13-14, 26-29). Revelation 19:10 *(1 Corinthians 14 :3).

  • Romans 1:16-17
  • Romans 10:4, 8-13
  • Luke 4:16-18
  • Matthew 28 :18-20 (Mark 16:15-20)
  • Matthew 24:14
  • Acts 1:8 (Luke 24:49)

FINALLY:

  1. REDEMPTION BLESSEDNESS: *(Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-10)
  2. The Restored BLESSEDNESS (Lost in Adam in Eden and Restored in Redemption in Christ Jesus): Revelation 5:9-12; Revelation 1:5-6; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

James 1:22-25

[When we begin to mirror ourselves the way God sees us in His eyes by the BLESSEDNESS of our REDEMPTION, our line of PRAYERS should change; otherwise, we will be praying unscriptural, thereby exacerbating strength unnecessarily in ignorance, stupidity and foolishness, which God abhors].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you take your place in God in Christ Jesus to reign in DOMINION as the REDEEMED of God to reign in life.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“For SIN shall not have DOMINION over you: for ye ARE not under the law, but under grace” Romans 6:14.

“For if by one man’s offence death REIGNED by one; much more they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE of grace and of the GIFT of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were MADE sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as SIN hath REIGNED unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“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 . . .26 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 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION

ACTUALISING YOUR REDEMPTION: THROUGH ENHANCED FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) TO REJUVENATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP!

“God is faithful, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9 (Emphasis Mine).

To have and to be in a RELATIONSHIP is a gracious atmosphere in life. This could be toward God in Christ Jesus and to family, spouse, friends, work colleagues and such like. Overtime you will notice that though you are in a RELATIONSHIP with all sorts, you are not enjoying same level of RELATIONSHIP with all. It thus means it’s not enough to have or be in a RELATIONSHIP until one can actualised it; and to actualise it is to ENACT and APPROPRIATE it into reality. This is what makes it functional for one to truly enjoy a RELATIONSHIP genuinely.

In same scenario, having a relationship with God in terms of what He has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU in Christ Jesus is very special. However, until we ACTUALISED this redemption acts and processes in our acts of living, life will remain a VICIOUS CIRCLE; and that can’t give any the ascribed VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION in our walk of faith in God.

Therefore, to enact and appropriate the REDEMPTION done deed by Christ Jesus, in order to POSSESS OUR POSSESSIONS, there’s the need to enhance a healthy FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION) with God. This is the vitality or vital way to strengthen the established RELATIONSHIP with God in our REDEMPTION.

“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 (Emphasis Mine).

FELLOWSHIP is the hub, fulcrum and centre piece jigsaw to make RELATIONSHIP with God or any be lively with the fulness of unspeakable and indescribable joy and peace. This is an act of FAITH and not of the flesh. Only through an INTENTIONAL and INTIMATE FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION – COMMON UNION), will our RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus be enhance in order to fully actualised our redemption indeed; except and unless you wants to be an ‘amen’, ‘bless me’ and ‘Halleluia’ only believer instead of an ACHIEVER in all that Christ Jesus had PAID for you to BE in Him in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Therefore, be resolved today in your onward and upward trajectory, to ensure that your FELLOWSHIP with God as in anything is not compromise, in order to strengthen, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate your RELATIONSHIP, in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There is and there are, LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these Life BATTLES are real to All. But the greatest of ALL life battles is the BATTLE of your FAITH in Christ. And there’s an ENEMY and CHORTS fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively and looking for any avenue and opportunity to devour you of your FAITH in Christ.

You need to know full well that the ENEMY and COHORTS knows that if they can get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED.

Your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S SYSTEM – the world systems that’s run and control by the ENEMY and COHORTS against your well being in Christ Jesus. When the ENEMY and COHORTS roar, or makes attacks on you in its acts of operandi, you need to know and understand that it’s actual their PRIMARY aim and Objective ,they  are not after your MONEY, FAMILY, CAREER, RELATIONSHIP, BUSINESS, MINISTRY and SUCH LIKE – it’s PRIMARY intent is that you DENY,  GIVE UP and QUIT on your FAITH, for your FAITH is the ONLY divinely instilled DEFAULT and LIVING MECHANISM that OVERCOMES and ENACT your REDEMPTION in humanity, to live and do life in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

We are enjoined to keep HOLDING FAITH in order to FIGHT a GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in any life BATTLES. Therefore, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH in Christ Jesus, by constantly affirming and enacting your stands in GRACE in your REDEMPTION, as a way of PREPAREDNESS to doing and dealing with the daily CHALLENGES and BATTLE. And by effectually exercising your rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead, you can then rule and reign in  DOMINION IN REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

[You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified).

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS

By Leave a Comment

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS!

Beloved of God, it’s imperative, that in your in your redemption deed of rights, that you ensure you possess your possession as you do life and live in godliness in Christ Jesus stead. And this is made possible by your faith communication to matters of life – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine.

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it, to make it a reality for you.

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible:

** FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him;

** And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJAH’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.

Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

** That knowledge will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.

** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.

** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.

** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s Favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.
