Welcome To Month FEBRUARY: Month Of ABOUNDING IN FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE – “The Vitality of The WORK of FAITH, The PATIENCE of HOPE And The LABOUR of LOVE” 

Herein Are Few Tips To Take Along And Rejuvenate This Month! 

Be EMBOLDENED to DO something different this month from the Usual. Break through that FEAR of boredom and set patterns and methods. For God is not of METHODS but of PRINCIPLES. Therefore, 

  • Close the kitchen and take time out to have a special meal with family and possibly friends outside home or the usual. Take your spouse out for a different kind of date than the usual. Drive through a different route to and from Church, work or places of interest. Make new and different kinds of friends and interests. 
  • As a man, come down from your high horse position and COOK for your SPOUSE and FAMILY. Give the spouse, children and household a REASON to believe you are humane and have humanity in you to blend through life. Give them a sense of HUMILITY that EXALTS. I promise you, your spouse, children, and family will smile through that day with great loveliness and beauty. 
  • Break through the usual, refresh your laugh, close the church for a week and take members for a picnic and have leisure as Jesus did, you won’t lose them. Go for a sporting, boat ride or ship cruise were possible. Have humour and laughter. Take away pressure, and take time to rest, and have leisure at least. Life is WORTH living not surviving. Just have Life for once. 
  • Stop nursing enemies and unforgiving attitudes, and rather FEED your enemy, give them a DRINK, for when a man’s way PLEASE the Lord, He makes his enemy to be at peace with him. And you PLEASE the Lord God by FAITH – that is, ACTING on His WORD. Do you BELIEVE it, and can you DO it? 
  • Take someone NEW to EATERY and to the GROCERIES place for shopping and PAY the bills. Where possible give someone a home or shelter, mobility and such like. Look through your neighbourhood, there’s someone who deserves LOVE and CARE. 
  • Take Your Spouse out to a refreshing conference or seminar to boost, rejuvenate and synergise your marriage. Stop living in the old, stagnant place. It’s time to innovate, refresh, recreate, and become a better version of yourself, breaking free from the toxic boredom of dissatisfaction and stagnation. Give your RELATIONSHIP a new and refreshing BREATH of life.  
  • Live your life OUTSIDE the BOX this month. Make peace and apologise to those who hurt you, even if they were wrong, and give God something to work with. 
  • Resolve not to murmur, complain, nag, react, or blame, but instead take RESPONSIBILITY for once, at least this month. It’s time to speak kindly and wholesomely to everyone around you, again and again. 
  • DARE TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT this month by giving a good portion of your time – whether an hour, a day, or even a couple of days – to lend a helping hand to someone in need through your skill, trade, or mentoring, without expecting payment or reward, especially to those who are less fortunate, unskilled, or limited by certain factors. 
  • You are a child of the NEW TESTAMENT – live your life beyond borders! Visit your Unchurched friends and share LOVE, HOPE, and FAITH with them. For once, let your heavenly-mindedness manifest in earthly goodness. 

Do all things in grace, and surely you will be blessed indeed. 

BREAK THROUGH YOUR FEARS – ESPECIALLY YOURSELF THIS MONTH: BE A DIFFERENT AMBASSADOR FROM THE USUAL. 

BE AN AMBASSADOR OF FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE! 

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8. 

“And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, come ye yourselves APART into a DESERT PLACE, and REST a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT. 32 And they DEPARTED into a DESERT PLACE by ship privately” Mark 6:30-32.

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL

By Leave a Comment

IT’S STOCK-TAKING MOMENT – TAKE TIME TO CHILL: FOR LEISURE IS GOD’S AND IT’S GODLY TOO! 

EBENEZER: Hitherto Has the Lord God HELPED Us – 1 Samuel 7:12. 

LEISURE and REST are good after labour – a diligent work; and labour is the physical and mental exertion of man to earn a gracious reward – in cash and or kind. And one good, gracious and graceful reward of labour – after a DILIGENT workload in the year – is by taking a time out to have a relaxing and leisure moment, outside your norm, especially with your BELOVED, among your CHERISHED friends – just to eat, drink and laugh. 

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31. 

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works . . . 9 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” Ecclesiastes 9:7, 9. 

The essence of STOCK-TAKING MOMENT and TAKING TIME TO CHILL is to have REST and LEISURE as it’s of GOD’S will and it’s GODLY too. For in reality: 

WE LIVE TO EAT AND NOT EAT TO LIVE – FOR LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING. THEREFORE, THINK. 

It’s a gracious and graceful time to EAT, LAUGH, REFLECT, TAKE STOCK and BELIEVE again for the Days, Weeks, Months and Years ahead. God REWARDS DILIGENCE; and they that are DILIGENT will have a STAND in the MIDST and PLACE of kings – noble, honour and dignity. Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6. 

And most importantly, STOCK TAKING is a time to review and assess one’s situation and options; and to count, account and share the enabling that will synergise you in PURPOSE; such that you can THRIVE MEANINGFULLY and in FULFILMENT; and to move FORWARD – ONWARDS and UPWARDS – in LIFE and GRACE, and in the abounding love of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY); he shall not STAND before mean (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

“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. 

“And the apostles GATHERED themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had DONE, and what they had TAUGHT. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and REST A WHILE: for there were many coming and going, and they had no LEISURE so much as to EAT” Mark 6:30-31. 

“There remaineth therefore a REST to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his REST, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us LABOUR therefore to ENTER INTO THAT REST, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” Hebrews 4:9-11. 

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God created and made” Genesis 2:1-2. 

“Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to EAT and to DRINK, and to ENJOY the good of all his labour that he taketh under the sun all the days of his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion” Ecclesiastes 5:18. 

“There is nothing better for a man, than that he should EAT and DRINK, and that he should make his soul ENJOY good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God” Ecclesiastes 2:24. 

“I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to REJOICE, and to do good in his life. 13 And also that every man should EAT and DRINK, and ENJOY the good of all his labour, it is the GIFT of God. 14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him” Ecclesiastes 3:12-14. 

“Then I commended MIRTH, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to EAT, and to DRINK, and to be MERRY: for that shall abide with him of his LABOUR the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun” Ecclesiastes 8:15. 

“Go thy way, EAT thy bread with JOY, and DRINK thy wine with a MERRY heart; for God now ACCEPTETH thy works. 8 Let thy GARMENTS be always WHITE; and let thy HEAD lack no OINTMENT. 9 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” Ecclesiastes 9:7-10.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“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” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST – THE FAITH ASSURED – AND THE SPIRIT REFRESH

By Leave a Comment

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST – THE FAITH ASSURED – AND THE SPIRIT REFRESH: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – THAT’S THE SYNERGY!

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN him in sickness (INFIRMITIES), But who can BEAR a BROKEN spirit?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY heart (spirit) doeth GOOD like a medicine: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the bones” Proverbs 17:22.

When your FAITH is at REST, your SPIRIT-BEING and WELL-BEING are at REST – then you are ASSURED of your daily triumph no matter what; but when your faith is troubled, your spirit is troubled – then your ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of triumph dwindles.

And FAITH is of the WORD which is spiritual and is of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, which when not taken care of and looks after, it leads to stress and depression and all forms of fear PHOBIA in your human spirit-being. STRESS is as a result of limited capacity to deal with our various life challenges, be it – family, work, career, ministry, business, academic, relationship, leadership and more.

You need to know full well that you are a spirit-being (spiritual), with a soul (mind, emotions, will and intellect) and living in a body (humus – physical) – (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7).

However, there’s good news, for God has left us with a synergy to enhance us with the grace of rest to deal with all factors that results to stress. It’s called – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – that’s PRAYING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT which means SPEAKING FORTH IN OTHER TONGUES – that is, in spiritual tongues/languages to be precise. And you need to get engaged and use it to do and live life. In it you will be REFRESH, REAWAKEN, RENEW, REKINDLE, SYNERGISE and AFLAME to enjoy a stress and depression free life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MEDITATE on the SCRIPTURES below and be BLESSED in Christ Jesus stead to live free within. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the WEARY to REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“For if I PRAY in an UNKNOWN TONGUE, my spirit prayeth but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will PRAY with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding” 1 Corinthians 14:14-15.

“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but BE FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him” Ephesians 5:18.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy FAITH [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21.

“PRAYING ALWAYS with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“If you FAINT in the day of ADVERSITY, Your STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD parts of the belly (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).

“But THERE is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life”  Job 33:4.

“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness [INFIRMITIES]. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will” Romans 8:26-27.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14 (Emphasis Mine).

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST

By Leave a Comment

THE DAWN MONTH OF AUGUST: THE MONTH TO – “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” IN HIS BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The dawn Month of AUGUST is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And been the eight month of the year, it represents a NEW BEGINNING. The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, means to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, to toward been DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . .

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2. From the Genesis and Psalmist Scriptures we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also EMPOWERED to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His PURPOSE for creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH? I tell you now what I perceive to know in life and grace.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY through DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done of God’s purpose for him  as the scriptures of Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; and for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, to thrive, colour and grandeur, to have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28 as by the power of attorney on God’s behalf over the works of God’s hands – Isaiah 45:11-12, Psalms 8:4-9; Psalms 115:16.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fulfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR YOUR PERUSAL:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about day for a honourable marriage and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situation that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFY or DIGNIFY my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED,  REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity and possibility to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of  majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminence, dignity, reverence, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai – lived in him – Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

By Leave a Comment

THE MONTH AUGUST: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundational basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus’ stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any form of persecution in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping Satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believers of God in Christ Jesus’ stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH  in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists of  BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through this four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
  2. FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensure that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
  3. The UNSEEN: Living by the THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, helps one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond mere sights before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
  4. DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensure a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensure and to be assured that the Believers of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEWS (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILES (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jews and the born of God Gentiles [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believers in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“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 10:32-33.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of The 42nd GENERATION

By Leave a Comment

AUGUST Themed – You Are a Chosen Generation of the 42nd GENERATION: It’s Your Time To August Your Life – It’s Your New Dawn Day and Dawn Month!

AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new beginning. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. The name AUGUST means inspiring REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the theme, to august therefore means to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more such like . . 

GENESIS 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth, as summed in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to have pleasure in His creation as in REVELATION 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now.

This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, man’s new day was dawn, that is born to begin; meaning the EIGHTH was the beginning of man to start taking RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE from the REST of God; and to exercise his eminent authority to be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue it and reign and live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the holy writ scriptures – Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance his PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to the scriptures – (Psalms 115:16; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20).

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much deserved and cherished – and how well you prepared and dressed up for it; Or starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable; Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value; Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured that it’s the most talked about honourable marriage that’s at the top of the note before all invited friends and families. Think of the situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. This is what it means to AUGUST an occasion and precisely, to AUGUST this month of AUGUST in LIFE and GODLINESS.

This is what makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, I AUGUST my office of CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS – Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of opportunity to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, fashion of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again!

“The book of the GENERATION of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham . . .16 and Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. 17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations; and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations” Matthew 1:1-17.

“. . . 9 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 2:5-10.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH AUGUST: THE DAWN MONTH TO AUGUST WITH – “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”!

You are highly WELCOME to the DAWN of our eighth [8] month AUGUST – our NEW DAWN MONTH in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

“In the BEGINNING God CREATED the heaven and the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:1, 31.

“He has made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in its time. Also He has put ETERNITY in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from BEGINNING to end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 NKJV.

“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the SEVENTH DAY God ended his work which he had made; and he RESTED on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3 And God BLESSED the seventh day, and SANCTIFIED it: because that in it he had RESTED from all his work which God CREATED and MADE” Genesis 2:1-3.

The Holy writ book of beginning in Genesis 1-2:3 gives the wonderful acts of God in the creation of the planet earth and of all that is on the earth as summed up in Psalms 24:1-2 and  Acts 17:24-31. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had CREATED all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED to pleasure in His creation as enjoined in Revelation 4:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH?. I can give and tell you now what I think, believe and embrace. This is what I believe and concluded with – that on the EIGHTH day, that’s when man’s NEW day was DAWN – that is, it was born to begin as God rested on His work of creation; thus meaning that the EIGHTH day was the beginning of man to start taking a stand in PRINCIPLE, with the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE, from the REST of God in order to find his own rest when done in fulfilling God’s purpose as assigned – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Hebrews 4:8-11. Man’s NEW DAWN signifies a time for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority (power of attorney) to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man (you – a non gender) to take the chance and opportunity accorded by the uncreated creator God to enhance God’s purpose by “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU”. This is to meaningfully, responsibly and accountably carry out God’s order on earth and to fullfil the given purpose and assignment accordingly as instructed. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s REPRESENTATIVE and AMBASSADOR on earth according but not limited to the Scriptures of Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY FOR THE NEW DAWN MONTH AUGUST:

The dawn Month of AUGUST, being the eight month of the year represents a new DAWN signifying a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven months that is 31 days long. And the name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, HONOUR/HONOURABLE, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the Month theme in context to AUGUST, therefore, means that as possessing “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” you are deemed to to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, HONOURED, GRAND and such like as to AUGUST.

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or starting that desired and PRECIOUS and PRESTIGIOUS job – how you started it on a very good note with MAJESTIC entrance to show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or SPECIAL date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding and marriage of yours – how much you ensured and assured yourself to own the day and to AUGUST it, that it became the most talked about day for a honourable marriage? and you were at the top of the note before all invited friends and families too? I can give you many scenarios, but you have some and can testify to that grandeur display of yours to AUGUST in your presence especially on your Birthday when you took out time and money to make it your day.

Now therefore, it’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you’ve dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and why to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFY or DIGNIFY my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED, REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“For I speak to you Gentiles; inasmuch as I am an apostle to the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MY MINISTRY, 14 if by any means I may provoke to jealousy those who are my flesh and save some of them” Romans 11:13-14 NKJV.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began it’s representative and ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again with “THE NEW WINE FOR A NEW YOU” in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

I pray that as you turn into this month of AUGUST, being the eighth of the year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty and dignity, eminence, be revered and admired, be venerable and lordly; may Month AUGUST be a month wherein all things that pertain to doing life and living godly are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY (DWELLING)” Jeremiah 17:12.

Unlike Adam, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ Jesus as in Romans 5:1-2, cause you your path to ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to stepping stones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to shave his beard, exchange his

prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of honour, eminence, dignity, reverence, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have hold of him, because the eminent one lives in him – who is our JEHOVAH-ADONAI. Genesis 41:12-16.

Have a gracious and graceful month August by – “THE NEW WINE FOR THE NEW YOU” – in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, because it seeth him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17.

“And WINE that maketh glad the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to shine, and BREAD which strengtheneth man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen . . . 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will POUR OUT MY SPIRIT upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I POUR OUT MY SPIRIT” Joel 2:19, 28-29.

“And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2 and both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 3 And when they wanted WINE, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have NO WINE. 4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 10 and saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good WINE; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. 11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples BELIEVED on him” John 2:1-11.

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence . . . 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:5, 8.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If Any Man Thirst, LET HIM COME UNTO ME, AND DRINK. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)” John 7:37-39.

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilæans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, 11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. 12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? 13 Others mocking said, these men are full of NEW WINE” Acts 2:1-21.

TAKE AN HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL

TAKE AN HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL: YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE TO STOP WORKING – AND TAKE A BREAK!
 
“The apostles [who had been sent out on a mission] gathered together with Jesus and told Him EVERYTHING that they had DONE and TAUGHT. 31 He said to them, “COME AWAY BY YOURSELVES to a SECLUDED PLACE and REST [LEISURE] a little while”—for THERE WERE MANY [PEOPLE who were CONTINUALLY] COMING and GOING, and they COULD NOT even FIND TIME to EAT. 32 And they WENT AWAY by themselves in the boat to a SECLUDED PLACE” Mark 6:30-32/AMP.
 
This morning I notice my ISP WiFi was not transmitting fully or very well because most of the in-house and office devices that uses WiFi where not responding as expected. I notice a frozen state indicating that I have to shut the mains down for some couple of minutes and then reset (reboot) the mains and devices again. Lo, behold, each of the devices just retain full strength and back up again, then I remembered that the ISP main hub has been working for a very long time in months without a time or space for rest though it’s a working material or device as designed.
 
How much more for you and I to see the need to REST and have LEISURE in order to regain a full strength instead of waiting until our body, soul and spirit breaks down as I almost experience few days ago. Hence I can say thanks to God for some good government in governance and employer’s of labour that ensures and assures holidays day as sets by the state and international body are honoured; and as I have equally leant to discipline myself to take a work time break for break and not for anything else irrespective. It helps to rejuvenate, refresh and synergies your wellbeing with wholeness.
 
Jesus knew how important it means to REST and have LEISURE after a while as He exhort the disciples to do like-wise in Mark 6:30-32. Much more, there’s the spiritual rest of your triune-being, which is a consequence of praying in the Spirit as enjoined in the Bible book of Isaiah 28:9-12 and Ephesians 6:18 and Jude 1:20 and 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39 respectively; It’s indicated and expressed by the Isaiah scripture especially, the very vitality and importance of spiritual rest; it’s a very refreshing medicine to your wholesome being – spirit, soul and body [1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12-13].
 
Therefore, TODAY, THIS DAY, begin to create and take time to rest, have leisure, for many have come and gone working so much hard and HARDWORKING as they claimed and are short-lived in the midst of their time without fulfilling purpose, instead of them working by being smart and SMARTWORKING, in taking time off-work and working overload, knowing and seeing the act of the wisdom of God for their good and goodness, and as a wellbeing medicine that’s needful as Jesus enjoined – to take a get away HOLIDAY in order to EAT, REST and have LEISURE. [Mark 6:30-32].
 
I pray you will be wise enough to live by the wisdom of God, in taking time to have rest and leisure; and to create opportunities for holidays and to take work time break for holidays and to ensure it in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
YOUR HOLIDAY TIME IS FOR REST AND LEISURE – DO ENSURE IT FOR YOUR GOOD AND HEALTHY LIVING.

“. . . 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 for with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:9-12.
 
” To whom will He TEACH KNOWLEDGE? [Ask the drunkards.] And whom will He make to UNDERSTAND the message? Those who are babies, just weaned from the milk and taken from the breasts? [Is that what He thinks we are?] 10 For it is [His prophets repeating over and over]: precept upon precept, precept upon precept, rule upon rule, rule upon rule; here a little, there a little. 11 No, but [the Lord will TEACH the rebels in a more humiliating way] by men WITH STAMMERING LIPS AND ANOTHER TONGUE will He SPEAK to this people [says Isaiah, and TEACH them His lessons]. 12 To these [complaining Jews the Lord] had said, This is the TRUE REST [the way to TRUE COMFORT AND HAPPINESS] that you shall GIVE TO THE WEARY, and, This is the [true] REFRESHING—yet they would not listen [to His teaching].” Isaiah 28:9-12/AMP Classic Edition.

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.
“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.
