About Becoming Whom & What You Believe
MARCH 2016 – Enacting Your Relationship Through Fellowship In Ministering To The LORD!
It’s time to enact your RELATIONSHIP with the LORD through the acts of continuous FELLOWSHIP which is made possible when you begin to MINISTER to the LORD more than just Asking and Asking for things.
“God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

The Christmas Reason: The Expression Season of God’s Love – In Relationship & Fellowship!
By virtue of birth, my wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me. But if any is to enjoy a more than the usual, normal and generalized blessings, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it, that’s their RESPONSIBILITY.
Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore a FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him. Adam lost his fellowship at Eden and it cost him at Eden as we know. Jesus in humanity maximise His fellowship and He made all the difference as we know.
This is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of fellowship you are having with Father God personally, to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him is what ‘This Christmas’ in ‘This December’ and ‘This Day’ should be about. The REASON for the SEASON.
It is the fellowship that strengthens relationship. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this season of Christmas, give room for the reason, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you. Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’.
Every Blessing.
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:5-7).
“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed” (Mark 1:35).
“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).
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

There’s More To And More Than – Prayers: It’s Relationship & Fellowship!
Sometimes People talk how much they do fast or have fasted and prayed as to qualify or earn them somehow a spiritual status of greatness; more especially as we are about turning into a new year, some will set days or weeks or months as if they are in a comparable state to prove something.
Prayer or prayer and fasting is a vitality for every Christian faith believer of which I acclaimed. I love to vitalize my faith through all that, but as important as any or both vitalities are, they are void if the objective is not to enhance FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP with God and man.
Hence the need to live a life of FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS. Many may say they can forgive but can’t possibly forget. Can you imagine God forgiving you and not forgetting. And if as He is, so are we in this world to carry on His gospel, there’s therefore something more than prayers or prayers and fasting. That is, RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP which are twine with forgiveness and forgetfulness. Otherwise, prayer will be unanswered and one is only a noise maker of self and in deception no matter how much you acclaimed to prayers or prayer and fasting.
Therefore Think!
I pray that you receive the grace for an effectual and efficient fellowship and relationship with God that will enhanced your prayer life through the Spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness with man in Jesus’ name, Amen!
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” (Mark 11:22-24).
“God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.” (1 Corinthians 1:9).
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.” (1 John 4:17).

MARITAL CONFLICTS: HELP-MEET VS HELP-MATE!
And God BLESSED them – male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan – MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSE nor a CURSE as some may have acclaimed. And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING – (1 Peter 3:9 (1-12). When God makes you or anything, He makes them good and beautiful (Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 139:14); and in God’s Marital relationship plan, purpose and pursuit – MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED – to be sorrow free; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He add no SORROW and confusion with it as the Scriptures enjoin in (Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 10:22; 1 Corinthians 14:33).
When the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED and MISAPPROPRIATED, ABUSE takes its root. Meaning ABUSE which is – ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR – in marriage for the context, is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intents (PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT) in marriage. This is likened to or a result of ‘MEN’ who don’t LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who don’t FOLLOW but SUBVERT their places in grace to suit individuals intent, which is contrary to scriptural demands. Hence we see some major reason for ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith.
When HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWER as Scripturally demands, the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING of God’s WORD, to make relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT will then ENDS up in CONFUSIONS and FRUSTRATION. As such God’s intent (PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS) in marital causes will be HINDERED and become as in many cases a VAIN CAUSE to have been started and ventured into; just as Apostle Paul will make known in scriptural case as in Galatians 2:21;
“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN” (Emphasis Mine) Galatians 2:21.
If you want as a MAN your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD that’s desirable of Angels – Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20; for ANGELS don’t dwell in HELL to give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God. You can’t hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expects a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS.
“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.
TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK – SELAH.
Note carefully that In Scriptural terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18 Scripture, is the same INTERPRETATION not in TRANSLATION, called PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our BEING HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and strength, to meet up to God’s demands and obligations in life and grace. Hence we can say He’s our HELP MEET to make up to God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with in by any measure in order to fulfill God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS. When God made ADAM (male), He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before EVE (female) the wife was made. Indicating a male folks has an assignment with God, knowingly or unknowingly. And it is in the order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET as it’s written:
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an HELP MEET for him” Genesis 2:18.
“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26.
We can end all these divergent confusion and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain in life and grace that which God has allowed us be. Be profoundly happy what God made you be, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus stead.
I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find a daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“. . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

James 4:13-17 “Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
Luke 12:15 (13-21) “. . . And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully . . .”
Ecclesiastes 9:9-12 “Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12 For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.”

Achieving Life Successes through Faithfulness
Luke 18:1-8 “. . . And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 16:1-13 “. . . He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon”.
As we turn into the eighth month of the year, I call to remembrance that God made all things in six days – on the seventh – He rested and on the eighth day, the empowered man with dominion mandate began to function in achieving the reason for His creation.
Today we live in an age where faithfulness to ourselves and to others is in great demand for creating an atmosphere that we can enjoy. Unfortunately we are so eager to demand faithfulness from others while we may not be faithful ourselves even in the least of things.
Hence I am grateful to the Holy Spirit that this month He has constrained me to challenge us on the need of achieving life goals through faithfulness. Hence the reason to set tasks and targets for oneself in making it be.
We need to know that our God is a faithful God. This is just one basic nature of God – FAITHFULNESS. We being His children cannot afford to live in any other way and expect to achieve greatness in life.
The Results of Being Faithful
Great admirable marriages, homes & businesses are not achieved merely from structural design but from faithful human hearts. The results of being faithful are the prosperity and good success that we all desire. When we make faithfulness an avenue of achieving life’s goals, we promote honesty, decency and healthy lifestyles.
In the scripture quoted at the beginning, Luke 18:7-8, Jesus asked a question about faithfulness. The word FAITH is translated ‘pistil’ in Greek, which denotes faithfulness in English. Jesus wondered how many would be faithful – to trust God and wait upon His Word – without seeking alternative solutions to life’s challenges. The 2nd main text, Luke 16:1-13, shows the reason that many of us cannot achieve our goals. It is because we are not faithful in matters entrusted into our hands by others.
God’s Faithful Nature
In achieving life’s goals, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding faithfulness.
Know full well that we are the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture. Acts 17:28-29, Psalms 100:3. It then means that we can live a faithful life and achieve good successes. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was faithful and prospered. The same grace is available to us today in spite of our challenges to be faithful and to prosper. Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2, 24:1)
Faithfulness Applied
- Faithfulness in the kingdom business. As a minister, pastor, ministry worker etc, you cannot afford to attend to ministry work in the way that pleases you and at the same time want God’s backing. No adulterations of any sort will make God be a part of it. Faithfulness to God’s Word and commands is a prerequisite to achieving desired goals. 1 Cor 4:2, 2 Tim 2:1-2, Prov 27:23, John 21:15-17 (Numbers 12:7, Heb 3:2,5.)
- In marriage one cannot afford to be unfaithful and achieve with God. (1 Tim 3:11, Prov 31:10, Prov 20:6, Eph 5:21-33, 1 Peter 3:1-12).
- Faithfulness is also vital in a parent – child relationship. Eph 6:1-4, Col 3:20-21, Prov 22:6
- Faithfulness in friendships. Prov 27:6,10, Prov 17:17, Prov 18:24
Faithfulness Rewards
Finally, as one with an achievers’ mandate, I beckon on you to set task and target this month on how to walk in faithfulness if you want to partner with God. I pray you be found faithful in every area of your life through this month and thereafter.
Be Augustly PROSPERED!
In His World For His Glory
