THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS 

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN! 

As Believers in Christ Jesus, we’ve got sufficient cause to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in God’s Kingdom cause, keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay, avoiding labouring in vain, in path of doing life and living godly in the Lord. More importantly, as we keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for us, fulfilling the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus – as it’s written: 

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58. 

There’s the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS, and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others, as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of these three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly in the Lord God, to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ: 

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 KNOWING, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine 

And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE, we can deduce the following in context: 

  • The (Your) Work of Faith 
  • The (Your) Labour of Love 
  • The (Your) Patience of Hope 

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others around you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focused as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly realm in the midst of challenging and difficult times. 

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again, while it’s day, when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTHTY of REMEMBERANCE. And know that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord. 

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SOME SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine. 

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 (Emphasis Mine). 

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine). 

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY 

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: IT’S TO SAVE YOU [US] FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE! 

“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the sun, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13. 

At MIDDAY, the Sun is at its best, brightening and illuminating as many reachable places as possible. In some TIME ZONE’S, you can’t directly look upward on the Sun at MIDDAY because of the intensity of the beam of light that it’s glowing, radiating, reflecting and illuminating upon such places. It was in such atmosphere that God chose to show and beam the superiority and illumination of His divine Sun [Son] light of righteousness over the humanity Sun [Natural] beam of light. 

“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine. 

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT to SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, to give the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6. 

It’s time to let God shine His light at Midday on you, especially if you are unsure and thinks you are walking wrongly and doing life on assumptions and or foolishness in where you’ve found yourself at the moment. Sometimes one becomes so zealous and no knowledge, and full of knowledge and no understanding. Hence, no PURPOSEFUL living. It takes wisdom to live PURPOSEFULLY in God’s timeless timeline sphere. 

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the LIGHT of the world: he that followeth me shall not WALK IN DARKNESS, but shall have the LIGHT of life” John 8:12. 

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. [2] The same was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In Him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was THE LIGHT of men. [5] And THE LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and THE DARKNESS comprehended it not . . . [14] And THE WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 14. 

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul. 

“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine. 

And there are many today, in their zealousness to please God, have gone about establishing their own purposeful RIGHTEOUS cause and not after God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of Christ Jesus. Know full well this day, that it’s only God’s purpose that can make all things work together for our good in all circumstance of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 

“For ye have heard of my CONVERSATION in time past in the Jews’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I PERSECUTED the church of God, and WASTED it: 14 and PROFITED in the Jews’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS of the TRADITIONS of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED me from my mother’s womb, and CALLED me by his grace” Galatians 1:13-15. 

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and GOING ABOUT to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For CHRIST is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4. 

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen. 

Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, and all will be well again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s Day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“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. 

“You ARE the LIGHT of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do men light a lamp and put it under a peck measure, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] Let your LIGHT so SHINE before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16/Amplified Classic Edition.

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE ASSURED GRACE OF RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Psalms 45:6-7.

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] in  Christ Jesus in you. For Jesus Christ in presences and experience in humanity, was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order to ensure and be assured, of God’s ever ANOINTED presence is with Him, to stay enabled and above All and above only. [Hebrews 1:7-9; Psalms 45:6-7].

“And of the ANGELS He says: “Who makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.

The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hated wickedness, in order to be assured that He earn God’s approval instead of men’s applause and hyper – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].

Don’t you cherished such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31]. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is the only stand to hold on to, as we do life and live godly in the midst of the fallibility of the human nature, acceptance and of hope and assurance before men in measures. For the kingdom of God is about RIGHTEOUSNESS, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

And if you desired to live and be ABOVE ONLY – it’s not by mouth-talking it – you just have to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus For we can only reign with God in Christ Jesus on earth through RIGHTEOUSNESS. Think about that – to reign in life, in humanity, only possible for the Believer’s through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“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.) . . . 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.

Therefore, seek first the kingdom of God and His RIGHTEOUSNESS, then addition will commence in your life and wellbeing in godliness. God knows about your need of at least the three basics necessity in life – Food, Clothing and Shelter. He doesn’t want you to toil like unbeliever’s to obtain the basic necessity and much more, hence He wants you to lay the basic fundamental foundation in kingdom to His provision in redemption for you, effortlessly and without sweat and boredom.

“. . . 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we EAT? or, What shall we DRINK? or, Wherewithal shall we be CLOTHED? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWETH THAT YE HAVE NEED OF ALL THESE THINGS. 33 But SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God, and His RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you . . .” Matthew 6:31-33 [25-34].

Give God an opportunity to be your Father for once again in righteousness. Let Him make you be in His plan, purpose and pursuit for your wellbeing in Christ Jesus.  [Jeremiah 29:11]. Let your definition be founded in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to flourish like a cedar in Lebanon, flourish like the Palm tree, flourish in the courts of our God. Flourish at all ages of your being in life and grace. For God wants to assure you that He’s Faithful and there’s no unrighteousness with Him in the grace. It’s time to get yourself rooted, grounded and established in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus to be ABOVE only and enjoy the heritage of the redeemed of God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen. [Psalms 92:12-15; Isaiah 54:13-17].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The RIGHTEOUS will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15  [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:12-15/Amplified.

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their RIGHTEOUSNESS is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:13-17.

“. . . 29 And seek not ye what ye shall EAT, or what ye shall DRINK, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather SEEK YE THE KINGDOM of God; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s GOOD PLEASURE to give you the kingdom” Luke 12:22-32.

God is FAITHFUL to His PROMISES

By Leave a Comment

God is FAITHFUL to His PROMISES: He watches over His PROMISED WORD to make it – YES AND AMEN!

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

“Let us hold fast the PROFESSION [DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCEMENT, PROCLAMATION] of our faith without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED” Hebrews 10:23.

The promises of God are Yes and Amen. And God is committed to making His promised WORD to become your realities. And to do that, He’s called us into His fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ, and to ensure His faithful to His promised Word and and will be faithful as we go about processing, announcing, proclaiming, declaring and affirming His word as a seal to our desires of Him.

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YEA, AND IN HIM AMEN, UNTO THE GLORY OF GOD BY US. 21 Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; 22 who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22.

Don’t give up on the good and goodness you are embarking on for the good and goodness of others in the faith journey, for your righteous acts in Christ Jesus stead, will surely be rewarded.

“Be ye strong therefore, and LET NOT YOUR HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

Every sacrifice for the cause of advancing the Gospel for the good and goodness of others to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay is noticeable and rewarding in this world and thereafter.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] 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.

God’s seeming delay is never a denial. God is not unfaithful, ungrateful, forgetful and unrighteous to overlook your good and goodness to others. For the Kingdom of God is about righteous causes, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit lead, hence your labour in the cause of righteousness can never be in vain, for momentarily delay should not make you quite for any reason. So, do the kingdom cause of our God through the act of RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE and being JOYFUL in doing by the Holy Spirit lead.

“For the KINGDOM of God is not meat and drink; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost” Romans 14:17.

So, don’t let the act of being persecuted and challenged and misconstrued rob you of your faithfulness on the righteous cause of doing good and goodness for others.

May you be accordingly BLESSED in the grace of righteousness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may the effect and work of righteousness in the cause of doing the righteous good and goodness envelope you in the grace as written:

“And the WORK of righteousness shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT of righteousness QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you do life and live godly to fulfill purpose in RIGHTEOUSNESS. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN THE CONTEXT:

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] 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.

“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 5:21.

“Be ye strong therefore, and LET NOT YOUR HANDS BE WEAK: for your WORK shall be REWARDED” 2 Chronicles 15:7.

“Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. 29 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, 30 but he shall RECEIVE an HUNDREDFOLD now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and IN THE WORLD TO COME ETERNAL LIFE” Mark 10:28-30.

No WEAPON Form Against PROSPERS

No WEAPON Form Against PROSPERS: When You Are ESTABLISHED In RIGHTEOUSNESS!
 
“[After all] the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of [getting the] FOOD and DRINK [one likes], but instead it is RIGHTEOUSNESS [that state which makes a person ACCEPTABLE to God] and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 He who SERVES Christ in this way is ACCEPTABLE and PLEASING to God and is APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/AMP Classic Edition.
 
In RIGHTEOUSNESS – the right standing of acceptance by God in Christ Jesus, is your DEFENCE for DELIVERANCE in times of trouble waters. It thus indicates that our right standing with God is prominently important to earn the leverage in all battles for our onward and upward trajectory in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“Riches PROFIT not in the DAY of wrath: but RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERETH from death. 5 The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the perfect shall DIRECT his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6 The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the UPRIGHT shall DELIVER them: but TRANSGRESSORS shall be taken in their own naughtiness” Proverbs 11:4-6.
 
Therefore, it’s important to ensure and be assured that you are standing on your God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not on your own man-made make-belief, religiosity – religious indoctrination, denominational – dogmas [bye laws, creeds], sectarianism, traditionalism [culturalised] and such like; if you must walk by faith in the standing grace of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as you go about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.
 
There’s the need to be ESTABLISHED in God’s own RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ for our ability to be offensive as being defensive in spiritual warfare that results for the good and goodness of physical wellbeing, in all that pertains to life and godliness. For we can’t go about establishing our own self-made and created righteous cause and wants God to get along in our life challenges and battles. It’s obviously obvious and apparently apparent that when and indeed we earnestly desire God in our path of doing life and living godly in Him, we must of necessity be established in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. That’s the only way to stand JUSTIFIED before God in the grace by faith, and to enjoy an unbroken access of peace and virtue in Him in Christ Jesus. And there’s NO ‘but’ and there’s NO ‘if’ terms and conditions in any form of ramifications to God’s set RIGHTEOUSNESS which is only in Christ Jesus.
 
“But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be ADDED unto you” Matthew 6:33.
 
“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 5:21.
 
“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” Romans 5:1-2.
I wish you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in His RIGHTEOUSNESS for your today and tomorrow in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Knowing that in this grace wherein you stand by faith justified by God in Christ Jesus, that no WEAPON form against you shall PROSPERS, when you are ESTABLISHED in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
”And all thy children shall be TAUGHT of the Lord; and GREAT shall be the PEACE of thy children. 14 In RIGHTEOUSNESS shalt thou be ESTABLISHED: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall SURELY gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together AGAINST thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON that is FORMED against thee shall PROSPER; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their RIGHTEOUSNESS is of me, saith the Lord.” Isaiah 54:13-17.
 
“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30.
 
“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.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
 
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
 
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
 
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
 
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
 
It’s true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up, they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence, it’s a high time to know that they are a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
 
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

THE KINGDOM ESSENTIAL ACTS: ENSURING AND ASSURING – GRACIOUSNESSS AND GRACEFULNESS!

There’s every cause to always GIVE THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBERING towards the graciousness and gracefulness of the bestowed – endowment and enduement – of the three essential acts that keeps us and others afloat and in leverage, in our services to advance the kingdom cause of our God, and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s worth pondering about these essential acts, as a measure to yourself in the light of the scriptures, to indicate if you are indeed standing assured on the graciousnesss and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus, in your kingdom services, as they are the essential acts of your determination – and worth giving thanks, prayers and remembering in the journey of grace.

This thus means that,  you should let your WORK be governed by FAITH, your LABOUR be governed by LOVE and your PATIENCE be governed by HOPE; otherwise, you may get weary, be burnt out and probably give up, along the way of your Kingdom services, by the challenges and sometimes enormous tasks that may betides you therein.

And if you’ve misfired without measures before now or otherwise, it’s time to awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its called day, to fulfil purpose as assigned in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the essential acts of measure of your Kingdom services. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord as you take a step toward an onward and upward trajectory of the work of faith, labour of love and patience of hope respectively.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the GREATEST of these is LOVE” 1 Corinthians 13:13/Emphasis Mine.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] 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.

“. . . 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation . . .” Hebrews 3:7-19.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!

There is sufficient cause as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in the God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in order to avoid labouring for vain, in your path of doing life and living godly in the Lord; and more importantly, as you keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for you, as you fulfil the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly, in the Lord God and to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ:

“We GIVE THANKS to God always for you all, making mention of you in our PRAYERS; 3 REMEMBERING without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 KNOWING, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4/Emphasis Mine

And from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE,  we can deduce the fellowing in context:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labour of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY

GOD’S LIGHT ON OUR MIDDAY: TO SAVE US FROM THE SELF/RELIGIOUS ZEALOT PURPOSE INSTEAD OF GOD’S DIVINE PURPOSE!

“At MIDDAY, O king, I saw in the way a LIGHT from heaven, above the BRIGHTNESS of the sun, SHINING round about me and them which journeyed with me” Acts 26:13.

At MIDDAY, the Sun is at its best, brightening and illuminating as many reachable places. In some TIME ZONE’S, you can’t directly look upward on the Sun at MIDDAY because of the intensity of the beam of light that it’s glowing, radiating, reflecting and illuminating upon such places. It was in such atmosphere that God chose to show and beam the superiority and illumination of His divine Sun light of righteousness over humanity Sun beam of light.

It’s time to let God shine His light at Midday on you, especially if you are unsure and thinks you are walking wrongly and doing life on assumptions and or foolishness in where you’ve found yourself at the moment. Sometimes one becomes so zealous and no knowledge, and full of knowledge and no understanding. Hence, no PURPOSEFUL living. It takes wisdom to live PURPOSEFULLY in God’s timeless timeline sphere.

When the zealous/zealot religious Saul had an encounter with divinity at MIDDAY, he became Apostle Paul. It took God’s “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” – JESUS CHRIST – to outshine the humanity MIDDAY light on Apostle Paul to take him out of his STAND as a RELIGIOUS zealot purposeful person called Saul, to God’s gracious DIVINE purpose person called Apostle Paul.

“But unto you that FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) my name shall the SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS arise with HEALING in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall” Malachi 4:2 Emphasis Mine.

And there are many today, in their zealousness to please God, have gone about establishing their own purposeful RIGHTEOUS cause and not after God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of Christ Jesus. Know full well this day, that it’s only God’s purpose that can make all things work together for our good in all circumstance of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“For ye have heard of my CONVERSATION in time past in the Jews’ RELIGION, how that beyond measure I PERSECUTED the church of God, and WASTED it: 14 and PROFITED in the Jews’ RELIGION above many my equals in mine own nation, being more EXCEEDINGLY ZEALOUS of the TRADITIONS of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who SEPARATED me from my mother’s womb, and CALLED me by his grace” Galatians 1:13-15.

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but NOT ACCORDING to knowledge. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and GOING ABOUT to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For CHRIST is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

It’s time to let DIVINITY to SHINE on your earthly affairs if you want to run without sweat and stress. Allowing God’s set “SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS” TIMELESS timeline on your “MIDDAY” TIMED timeline, will ensure you live to fulfill PURPOSE with God in Christ Jesus stead, meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

Get connected to God’s SUN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – JESUS CHRIST and all will be well again and again. And all things will turn around at your midday into God’s day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

“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.

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Leave a Comment

BE DEFINED BY GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS – A RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD!

Let your LEGACY of doing life and living godly be defined by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] as Jesus Christ presence and experience in humanity was marked by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, in order to ensure and be assured of God’s ever ANOINTED presence with Him to stay above All and above only.

The Kingdom of God is consummated with a SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and Jesus ensures that He loves RIGHTEOUSNESS [a right standing with God] and hated wickedness, in order to be assured that He earn God’s approval instead of men’s applaud and hype – [Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15].

Don’t you cherished such sphere and realm of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead? [Matthew 6:33 (Luke 12:31].

And if you desired to live and be ABOVE ONLY – it’s not by mouth-talking it – you just have to ensure and be assured that you are standing on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 7 You love RIGHTEOUSNESS and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Psalms 45:6-7.

“And of the ANGELS He says: “Who makes His ANGELS spirits And His MINISTERS a flame of fire.” 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has ANOINTED You With the OIL OF GLADNESS MORE THAN YOUR COMPANIONS” Hebrews 1:7-9/NKJV.
