WHOLESOME LIVING MADE POSSIBLE IN THE GRACE

WHOLESOME LIVING MADE POSSIBLE IN THE GRACE: BY TAKING A SCRIPTURAL STAND AND SPEAKING FORTH ON THE WHOLESOME WORDS OF THIS LIFE! 

“So all bore witness to Him [JESUS], and marvelled at the GRACIOUS [WHOLESOME] WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

“A man’s stomach shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the PRODUCE of his LIPS, he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT ITS FRUIT” Proverbs 18:20-22/NKJV. 

God is interested in you having ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE THAT MAKES A WHOLESOME LIVING. He is interested in the good of all the aspects of your life. He wants you not only to be HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, but also to be of EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH, in all that pertains to this LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the TEMPLE to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” – Acts 5:20. 

“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. 

The ongoing of life matters in your whole being – Spirit, Soul and Body – needs to bring you to a place where you’re blameless, to be full of life, bubbling and in great goodness, graciousness and gracefulness; and in  course of doing life – meaning, you are in state of being – HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, and to be equally accompanied by a state of being – EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH. That’s God’s gracious and graceful Plan, Purpose and Pursuit for you while in this state of humanity. 

As Jesus increased in WISDOM [Mentally sound], STATURE [Physically – Physique healthy], and in FAVOUR with God [Spiritually Communing] and FAVOUR with Man [Socially, emotionally, and Economically connected], even so God intends for us to experience accordingly, in His plan, purpose and pursuit in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

Therefore, it’s expedient and imperative that we are informed and acquainted with ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE and the mode of operation; and more importantly, how they relate to God’s WORD, to enable us to DO LIFE with ease in the GRACE wherein we STAND; and be WHOLE in – spirit, soul, and body, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

It’s now time to stop LIVING on – the UNFINISHED MADE and BAKED meal or food, while it’s time for you to take WHOLESOME WORD to make a WHOLESOME LIVING in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, as you do life and live godly in the grace. 

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you through and through [that is, separate you from profane and vulgar things, make you PURE and WHOLE and UNDAMAGED—consecrated to Him—set apart for His purpose]; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept COMPLETE and [be found] BLAMELESS at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/Amplified. 

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13/Amplified. 

I hereby commend you in Christ Jesus stead, to GO FORTH AND TAKE A STAND in grace, and then thrive, live and do life wholly, completely, fully, totally, entirely, and steadfastly in every way. Now it’s your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, to ensure you actualise your BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

MAKE YOUR WHOLESOME LIVING POSSIBLE BY TAKING A SCRIPTURAL STAND AND SPEAKING FORTH ON THE WHOLESOME WORDS OF THIS LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

BLESSED REGARDS!

TAKE A HOLIDAY – IT’S HEALTHY AND NEEDFUL 

By Leave a Comment

TAKE A 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 noticed my ISP Wi-Fi was not transmitting fully or very well because most of the in-house and office devices that use Wi-Fi were not responding as expected. I noticed a frozen state indicating that I have to shut the mains down for a couple of minutes and then reset [reboot] the mains and devices again. Lo, behold, each of the devices just retains 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 full strength instead of waiting until our body, soul and spirit breaks down as I almost experienced few days ago. Hence I can say thanks to God for some good government in governance and employers of labour that ensures and assures holidays day as sets by the state and international body are honoured; and as I have equally learnt to discipline myself to take a work time break for break and not for anything else irrespective. It helps to REJUVENATE, REFRESH, REKINDLE and SYNERGIES your wellbeing with wholeness in the grace. 

“. . . 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. 

Jesus knew how important it means to REST and have LEISURE after a while as He exhort the disciples to do likewise 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 Scriptures, especially the very vitality and importance of spiritual rest [Isaiah 28:9-12]; 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; and instead of hard-working, take time to be working by being smart and SMARTWORKING to maximise time in a short space, in taking time off-work and working overload; it’s in the knowing and seeing the act of the wisdom of God for the good and goodness, and for our wellbeing as a medicine that’s needful as Jesus enjoined – to take a getaway 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, FOR YOUR GOODNESS AND FOR YOUR HEALTHY LIVING, AND NOT FOR ANYTHING ELSE IRRESPECTIVE. 

Healthy living is a wealthy living in life and in the grace.  

Be blessed accordingly. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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 AMPLIFIED. 

“See then that ye WALK circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not UNWISE, but UNDERSTANDING what the WILL of the Lord is” Ephesians 5:26-17. 

“Walk in WISDOM toward them that are without, REDEEMING THE TIME” Colossians 4:5. 

“. . . 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. 

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT; 21 Guard and keep yourselves in the love of God; expect and patiently wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)—[which will bring you] unto life eternal” Jude 1:20/AMP Classic Edition. 

“I thank my God, I SPEAK WITH TONGUES more than ye all: 19 yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an UNKNOWN TONGUE. 20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men. 21 In the law it is written, With men of OTHER TONGUES and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord. 22 Wherefore TONGUES are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe . . . 39 Wherefore, brethren, COVET to prophesy, and FORBID NOT to SPEAK WITH TONGUES” 1 Corinthians 14:18-22, 39. 

“PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints” Ephesians 6:18. 

“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. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of taking breaks, resting, and having leisure to rejuvenate and refresh one’s spirit, soul, and body. 

Key Scriptures: 

  • Mark 6:30-32 – Jesus invites disciples to rest and have leisure after a mission 
  • Isaiah 28:9-12 – Spiritual rest and refreshing through praying in the Spirit 
  • Ephesians 5:16-17, Colossians 4:5 – Redeeming time, walking wisely 
  • 1 Thessalonians 5:23 – Wholeness of spirit, soul, and body 
  • Hebrews 4:12-13 – Word of God discerning thoughts and intents of the heart 

The message shares a personal experience of the ISP Wi-Fi needing a reboot, reminding that even devices need rest. Jesus showed the importance of rest and leisure (Mark 6:30-32). Spiritual rest and refreshing come through praying in the Spirit (Isaiah 28:9-12). Taking breaks and resting helps to rejuvenate, refresh, and rekindle one’s wellbeing. Believers should discipline themselves to take work-time breaks, prioritise rest, and maximise time. Holidays and breaks are for rest, leisure, and rejuvenation – not for anything else. A healthy living is a wealthy living  

Call to Action: 

  • Take time to rest, have leisure, and prioritise your wholeness (spirit, soul, body)  
  • Discipline yourself to take breaks and maximise time 
  • Pray in the Spirit to experience spiritual rest and refreshing

FUNDAY – WORK AND PLAY

FUNDAY – WORK AND PLAY: CYCLING VIBES WITH THE YOUNG CREW @ BRISTOL CYCLING CENTER! 

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE [TRAINING] thyself rather unto GODLINESS. 8. For BODILY EXERCISE [TRAINING] PROFITETH little: but GODLINESS is PROFITABLE unto all things, having PROMISE of the life that now is, and of that which is to come” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Emphasis Mine. 

It’s a PHYSICAL THERAPY Moment – For Physical EXERCISE [TRAINING] and bodily TRAINING is profitable too. It’s a healthy FUNDAY. CRAVE FOR A HEALTHY LIVING? Then Park the car, take a walk, ride a bike and do something different from the norm. Give your spirit being house – your BODY, a meaningful and health care to ENSURE its PURPOSE as the temple of the Holy Spirit; it keeps your being always SPIRITED. A sickened body for any reason will make one DISPIRITED in the inner being functionality. Life is only worth living when you take responsibility and accountability to make your life healthily meaningful. 

“But have NOTHING to do with irreverent folklore and silly myths. On the other hand, DISCIPLINE yourself for the PURPOSE of GODLINESS [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some VALUE, but GODLINESS (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified. 

For Jesus Christ INCREASED in four dimensions: Wisdom [Mental Education], Physique [Physical/Bodily Health], Favour – Spiritual [Godly toward God] and Social [Relationship with mankind]. And His PHYSIQUE in humanity enabled Him to be everywhere most times He chooses except while on Boat and Assess. Yeah – Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ do not only have His physical wellbeing checked, but He also took a time off holiday leisure with His disciples to ensure they are whole in ministry – spirit, soul and body. In essence, our living example Saviour and Lord, gave attention to His physical wellbeing in humanity. 

“And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:52. 

“And the very God of peace sanctify you WHOLLY [COMPLETELY]; and I pray God your WHOLE [COMPLETELY] spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED [MAINTAINED] blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23. 

“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 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/Amplified. 

Therefore, don’t be thinking you are so spiritual or more spiritual than Jesus Christ was in humanity. Your spirit being lives in your body, look after it healthily as Christ Jesus did to keep you living healthily.

“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. 

“WHAT? know ye not that your BODY is the TEMPLE of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore GLORIFY God in YOUR BODY, and in your spirit, which ARE God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. 

“And Jesus INCREASED in wisdom and STATURE (PHYSIQUE), and in favour with God and man” Luke 2:52. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of taking care of one’s physical body as a temple of the Holy Spirit. It encourages believers to prioritise physical exercise and healthy living, citing Jesus Christ’s example of increasing in wisdom, stature (physique), and favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). 

Key points: 

  • Physical exercise has value, though godliness (spiritual training) is more profitable (1 Timothy 4:7-8). 
  • Jesus Christ, our example, took care of His physical wellbeing and took time off for rest and leisure with His disciples (Mark 6:30-32). 
  • Believers should discipline themselves for godliness and prioritise physical health to maintain a healthy spirit, soul, and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). 
  • The body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, and we should glorify God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). 

The message encourages a balanced approach to life, combining spiritual growth with physical wellbeing, and invites readers to pause and reflect on their priorities

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT: THE INVESTMENT COST IN WORTH AND EFFECT – IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

May I begin by saying to you in respect of the context and subject of this writ for you to understand – knowingly and unknowingly, acceptably or unacceptably – that you are God created and made, irrespective of whatever your perception is for now, today or tomorrow [Genesis 2:7]. And that, you are living by the breath of God and there’s no hiding place for you beyond the reach of God as He indeed crafted you and have all about your being make up documented in His book of life [Psalms 139:1-18]. And it’s a high time to take stock and consider your investment [daily, weekly, monthly and yearly] on your priceless SPIRIT BEING in comparison to your PHYSICAL BEING for the good of your well-being in life and grace as a wise business investor on a TREASURED FIELD and PRECIOUS PEARL.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a FIELD; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that FIELD. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a MERCHANT man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.

MAN IS A LIVING SPIRIT BEING; and there’s the need to know and understand for sure, in essence and context, that the MAN (non-gender in terms) in the HU-MAN that makes the being is a subconscious entity, and has an entity of consciousness which is the soul being, and together lives in an entity which is the HU (HUMUS), else, is clay, sand or dust – the body – the physical being which we all see and decorate like nothing else. And these separate entities together makes the living HUMAN being as written in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be PRESERVED blameless at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/NKJV.

The real you – the MAN being, is the being that’s giving you life; and it’s eternal and lives by God’s BREATH and can’t die; while the BODY is your physical being, housing your spirit being, and it depends on OXYGEN to be alive, hence it’s subject to die – that means it can decay no matter what. And when the human dies, the eternal spirit being MAN returns back to the creator God while the decayed BODY return back to the HU (humus) of the HU-MAN – (clay, sand, dust). So what makes the real being is the MAN being of the HU-MAN being, which is the spirit being in you. Genesis 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4.

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

“But there is a spirit in MAN, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES him understanding” Job 32:8 NKJV.

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life” Job 33:4 NKJV.

“The spirit of a MAN is the LAMP of the Lord,

SEARCHING all the INNER DEPTHS of his HEART” Proverbs 20:27 NKJV.

Have you for once, intentionally and pragmatically consider what it does COST in – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE and SUCH LIKE? And more so, of the corresponding and expected WORTH and EFFECT on PHYSICAL TRAINING/EXERCISE for your PHYSICAL well-being? You can only understand my concept and perception when you take note of the Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Millions and Billions and such like financial cost that are spent respectively by individuals and or corporations, governments and charities – just to keep the human physical body fit and to ensure a healthy physical wellbeing of the individual and society. And yes, in all these continuous investments in cost, the Scriptures does indicate, it ONLY PROFIT OR WORTH JUST A LITTLE IN PHYSICAL TERMS – which is relative in a way as to the whole outcome in terms of the CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state of the Individuals and society at large.

“. . . TRAIN YOURSELF TOWARD GODLINESS (piety), [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is USEFUL and of value in EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY, for it HOLDS promise for the PRESENT life and also for the life which is to COME.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified.

And as a challenge, could you imagine such cost in TIME, EFFORT and FINANCE as in PHYSICAL BEING training is spent in terms, on the SPIRIT BEING training by – an Individuals, and or corporations, governments and charities? I mean the expected worth in returns in CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state to Individual and society at large. Let say if and when 30 percent are invested in the TRAINING of the SPIRIT BEING MAN . . . I can assure how it will lead to the good and goodness of a COMPLETE and total WHOLENESS of the – spirit, soul and body. I can guarantee you that the consequential result will be enormous, incomprehensible and unimaginable; and it’s WORTH will have the PRESENT, FUTURE AND ETERNAL EFFECT in an individual and society at large for the good of all.

Today, take a look within you, in all your POSSESSIONS, how much of it defines your SPIRIT MAN well-being in comparison to your PHYSICAL well-being. That’s the essence of this post.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV.

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are open and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“. . . 13 For thou hast POSSESSED MY REINS: thou hast COVERED ME IN MY MOTHER’S WOMB. 14 I will praise thee; FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 THINE EYES DID SEE MY SUBSTANCE, YET BEING UNPERFECT; AND IN THY BOOK ALL MY MEMBERS WERE WRITTEN, WHICH IN CONTINUANCE WERE FASHIONED, WHEN AS YET THERE WAS NONE OF THEM. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee” Psalms 139:1-18.

“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.
 
God is interested in you having – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE THAT MAKES A WHOLESOME LIVING. He is interested in the good of all the aspects of your life. He wants you not only to be HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, but to be also of EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH, in all that pertains to this LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
The ongoing of life matters in your whole being – Spirit, Soul and Body – needs to bring you to a place for you to be blameless, to be full of life, bubbling and in great goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness; and in the cause and course of doing life – meaning, you are in state of being – HEAVENLY MINDED and MINDFUL, and to be equally accompanied with a state of being – EARTHLY GOOD and WORTH. That’s God’s gracious and graceful Plan, Purpose and Pursuit for you while in this state of humanity.
 
As Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally sound), STATURE (Physically – Physique healthy), and in FAVOUR with God (Spiritually Communing) and FAVOUR with Man (Socially, emotionally and Economically connected), even so God intends for us to experience accordingly, in His plan, purpose and pursuit in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, it’s expedient and imperative that we are informed and acquainted with ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE and the mode of operandi; and more importantly, how there are in relation to God’s WORD, to enable us DO LIFE with ease in the GRACE wherein we STAND; and be WHOLE in – spirit, soul and body, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
It’s now time to stop LIVING on – the UNFINISHED MADE and BAKED meal or food. It time for one to take WHOLESOME WORD to make a WHOLESOME LIVING.
 
I hereby commend you in Christ Jesus stead, to GO FORTH AND TAKE A STAND in grace, and then thrive, live and do life wholly, completely, fully, totally, entirely, and steadfastly in everyway. Now it’s your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, to ensure you actualised your BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
MAKE YOUR WHOLESOME LIVING POSSIBLE BY TAKING A SCRIPTURAL STAND AND SPEAKING FORTH ON THE WHOLESOME WORDS OF THIS LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
 
BLESSED REGARDS!

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.

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS

By Leave a Comment

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25].
 
For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/Feel. And that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual. Makes one incline to sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.
 
And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Then you can bring under control, that’s subjugate, the acts of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in all ramifications and irrespective.
 
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the MASTERY IS TEMPERATE [DISCIPLINE] 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 9:24-27/Emphasis Mine.
 
And while you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE able then to define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.
 
“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), 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 . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.
 
May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.
 
And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:
* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.
* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL
* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.
 
As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.
 
“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.
 
“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.
 
And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE

By Leave a Comment

IT’S A DAWN YEAR – WITH A CHOICE TO MAKE: TO EITHER THRIVE IN GRACE AND FAITH OR TO LIVE AS A SURVIVAL – IN THE ESSENCE OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!

“And if it seem EVIL unto you to SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord, CHOOSE you this day whom ye will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY]; whether the gods which your fathers SERVED that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for ME and MY HOUSE, we will SERVE [ACCEPTABLY, UNRESERVEDLY] the Lord” Joshua 24:15/Emphasis Mine.

Know for sure it’s a dawn year and the choices you make will make and define you. And you need to know that you are born of God to THRIVE in grace and faith in Christ Jesus; and you are not born of God to SURVIVE in doing life and living godly too. And you ARE, the determination and custodian of your happiness, peace and the atmosphere you want to see and experience, not some else, except you give them the permission to make your choices on your behalf – of which, it’s still your choice knowingly and or unknowingly.

I therefore make bold to say that no matter what your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES in life is today, you are not BORN of God to be a SURVIVAL in Christ Jesus; but YOU are BORN of God to THRIVE – to be soaring and gliding in VICTORY, TRIUMPH, DOMINION, A MORE THAN CONQUEROR and OVERCOMER by THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus that is in you in Him [1 John 4:4-6; Philemon 1:6; 1 John 5:3-5; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 2021; 1 Corinthians 15:57].

And in all the year count and round endeavours, it’s your CHOICE to make – to determine to THRIVE or to SURVIVE; and it’s your TIME to step up in GRACE and FAITH to BECOME who you are in God in Christ Jesus stead [Philemon 1:6]; and it’s yours too, to take on WHATSOEVER, in order to BECOME what you are BORN of God and QUALIFIED of God in Christ Jesus stead to be [Mark 11:24], and as per this wise context:

  * It’s your time to ARISE on the WIND – The Holy Spirit – to take to flight as the Eagle in turning your life around as God did at the beginning of time; this is when He step up to CREATE the atmosphere He wants to see, be satisfied and fulfilled, from the Earth that was FORMLESS and VOID to make it the World to be admired, colourful, beautiful and such like. [Genesis 1:1-2:1-25; Psalms 24:1; Acts 17:24-29].

  * It’s time to SET your life to THRIVE, to have a colourful world, create the atmosphere you want to see, enjoy and to LIVE FULFILLED.

  * It’s your YEAR of living in the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – which is the greater, thriving, colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life.

There are QUESTIONS to think through and ANSWER here – which are but not limited:

** Are you struggling to Pray?

** Are you struggling to Read and Study God’s WORD?

** Is your life being without form and void?

** Are you just SURVIVING instead of THRIVING in grace?

** What do you think is the reason for your stalemate and pain?

In answering the above-mentioned questions and such like that are known by you but are not written or mentioned here – you can then turn your limitations around by the enabling grace of God by FAITH, and by the infinite wisdom and power of our LIMITLESS GOD overall. [Romans 5:1-2; Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5].

I hereby announce to you that there’s HOPE in life today and the dawn year; and there’s a MIRACLE of change for you, but its your CHOICE to step up in FAITH in order to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY in God’s way in Christ Jesus stead. I want you to know that when God SAW that the situation and circumstances about Him on earth was WITHOUT FORM and VOID, He determine to make the difference that suits His intent. That is, to CREATE the ATMOSPHERE He wants to see and enjoy and be fulfilled to behold. He didn’t sit back; this is what and how He did to make His desire become tangible and a reality:

* He did not choose to SURVIVE it or ADAPT to it or compromise with it.

* He took RECOGNITION of the presence of our HELPER, the creative Holy Spirit – [Genesis 1:2; Jude 1:20; Romans 8:26-27 (Amplified); John 4:20-24; (Genesis 2:7; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Philippians 3:3)].

* He chose to THRIVE, hence made a conscious, gracious, graceful and an intentional declaration to create the atmosphere He loves and wants to see irrespective of the STATEMENTS and SITUATIONS about Him. [Genesis 1:1-31; Luke 4:22; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 12:11; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24; Romans 10:8-10].

* He spoke graciously and gracefully to CAUSE to BECOME what He wants and needed to BECOME, and it was good and very good indeed. [Genesis 1:1-31; Proverbs 12:14; 15:23; 18:20-21; 16:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:23; Like 4:22].

Today! When you chose to PRAY and make DECLARATION and ACT accordingly by FAITH on God’s word, by the LEADING of the Holy Spirit, your CHANGE will assuredly come in Jesus’ name. Amen. Then you take a stand to cease to SURVIVE and to LIVE above what your circumstances wants you to see; while you resolve and begin to LIVE and THRIVE by what you DESIRED of God to see by the eyes of THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE GREATER LIFE within you – [Mark 9:23; Matthew 19:26; 1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:8-13]. This is the how to ensure the start up to stop the life of STRUGGLING or SURVIVING through the PRAYER WALK of grace and faith; and to turn the FORMLESS and VOID circumstantial WORLDS into a THRIVING sphere that will be BLOSSOMING, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING.

DO CHOSE WISELY TO MAKE A NEW START TODAY – YOUR YEAR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR CHOICE.

I pray that by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS you will live and soar in POSSIBILITIES, DOMINION and EXALTATION as the Eagle with spirit of THE GREATER LIFE – THE PREVAILING WORD –  in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the beginning God CREATED the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was WITHOUT FORM, and VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God SAID, Let THERE be light: and THERE was light. 4 And God SAW the light, that it was GOOD. . . “ Genesis 1:1-31.

“YE ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME THEM: because GREATER is he that is in you, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore SPEAK they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 WE ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE LIFE, that both THOU and thy SEED may live:  20 that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them” Deuteronomy 30:19-20.

“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED (TRANSLATED) us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine).

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design. Simply because I didn’t want to give the person a leverage to think that the Church is the building but her very self in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And while some will say that Church services was great and how blessed they are others will attribute it to the magnificent building instead.

My concern is that the building has been religiously ascribed by some as Church, especially with the denominational concepts; thereby forgetting if such a place in use becomes a restaurant or playground tomorrow, it’s essence changes; hence it must be noted that the concept of the building in use will change of what’s then considered as Church by some – for the building in use is only the gathering place of you and others – the Church – and when that concept of use changes or becomes a restaurant for our example then it’s no longer a Church building but a restaurant. Hence, it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is all about in the context and concept; and also to avoid attributing what is not to be it in order to safeguard any in building and establishing on a wrong foundation of FAITH on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

As a result of the above intent, I said she should rephrased the question as – Did you attend the Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. For the local Churches assembly gathering of respective individual Churches are there for a collective cause or causes; and are there to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FUNERAL, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more as may be applicable.

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). The intent should be intentional, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling for to WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine).

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29. (Emphasis Mine).

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24. (Emphasis Mine).

“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”

“And the Lord God FORMED MAN of the dust of the ground, AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE; and MAN became a LIVING soul” Genesis 2:7.

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT

THE SPIRIT-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT VERSUS THE PHYSICAL-BEING TRAINING INVESTMENT: THE INVESTMENT COST IN WORTH AND EFFECT – IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

May I begin by saying to you in respect of the context and subject of this writ for you to understand – knowingly and unknowingly, acceptably or unacceptably – that you are God created and made, irrespective of whatever your perception is for now, today or tomorrow [Genesis 2:7]. And that, you are living by the breathe of God and there’s no hiding place for you beyond the reach of God as He indeed crafted you and have all about your being make up documented in His book of life [Psalms 139:1-18]. And it’s a high time to take stock and consider your investment [daily, weekly, monthly and yearly] on your priceless SPIRIT BEING in comparison to your PHYSICAL BEING for the good of your well-being in life and grace as a wise business investor on a TREASURED FIELD and PRECIOUS PEARL.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto TREASURE hid in a FIELD; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that FIELD. 45 Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a MERCHANT man, seeking GOODLY PEARLS: 46 who, when he had found ONE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE, went and sold all that he had, and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46.

MAN IS A LIVING SPIRIT BEING; and there’s the need to know and understand for sure, in essence and context, that the MAN (non-gender in terms) in the HU-MAN that makes the being is a subconscious entity, and has an entity of consciousness which is the soul being, and together lives in an entity which is the HU (HUMUS), else, is clay, sand or dust – the body – the physical being which we all see and decorate like nothing else. And these separate entities together makes the living HUMAN being as written in 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now may the God of peace Himself SANCTIFY you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be PRESERVED blameless at the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23/NKJV.

The real you – the MAN being, is the being that’s giving you life; and it’s eternal and lives by God’s BREATH and can’t die; while the BODY is your physical being, housing your spirit being, and it depends on OXYGEN to be alive, hence it’s subject to die – that means it can decay no matter what. And when the human dies, the eternal spirit being MAN returns back to the creator God while the decayed BODY return back to the HU (humus) of the HU-MAN – (clay, sand, dust). So what makes the real being is the MAN being of the HU-MAN being, which is the spirit being in you. Genesis 2:7; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4.

“Then the Lord God FORMED [that is, created THE BODY of] man from the dust of the ground, and BREATHED into his nostrils the BREATH of life; and THE MAN became a LIVING BEING [an individual complete in body and spirit]” Genesis 2:7 Amplified.

“But there is a spirit in MAN, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES him understanding” Job 32:8 NKJV.

“The Spirit of God has MADE me, And the BREATH of the Almighty GIVES me life” Job 33:4 NKJV.

“The spirit of a MAN is the LAMP of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INNER DEPTHS of his HEART” Proverbs 20:27 NKJV.

Have you for once, intentionally and pragmatically consider what it does COST in – TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE and SUCH LIKE? And more so, of the corresponding and expected WORTH and EFFECT on PHYSICAL TRAINING/EXERCISE for your PHYSICAL well-being? You can only understand my concept and perception when you take note of the Tens, Hundreds, Thousands, Millions and Billions and such like financial cost that are spent respectively by individuals and or corporations, governments and charities – just to keep the human physical body fit and to ensure a healthy physical well being of the individual and society. And yes, in all these continuous investment in cost, the Scriptures does indicate, it ONLY PROFIT OR WORTH JUST A LITTLE IN PHYSICAL TERMS – which is relative in a way as to the whole outcome in terms of the CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state of the Individuals and society at large.

“. . . TRAIN YOURSELF TOWARD GODLINESS (piety), [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is USEFUL and of value in EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY, for it HOLDS promise for the PRESENT life and also for the life which is to COME.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified..

And as a challenge, could you imagine such cost in TIME, EFFORT and FINANCE as in PHYSICAL BEING training is spent in terms, on the SPIRIT BEING training by – an Individuals, and or corporations, governments and charities?. I mean the expected worth in returns in CHARACTER and BEHAVIOURAL state to Individual and society at large. Let say if and when 30 percent are invested in the TRAINING of the SPIRIT BEING MAN . . . I can assure how it will lead to the good and goodness of a COMPLETE and total WHOLENESS of the – spirit, soul and body. I can guarantee you that the consequential result will be enormous, incomprehensible and unimaginable; and it’s  WORTH will have the PRESENT, FUTURE AND ETERNAL EFFECT in an individual and society at large for the good of all.

Today, take a look within you, in all your POSSESSIONS, how much of it defines your SPIRIT MAN well-being in comparison to your PHYSICAL well-being. That’s the essence of this post.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . TRAIN YOURSELF TOWARD GODLINESS (piety), [keeping yourself SPIRITUALLY FIT]. 8 For PHYSICAL TRAINING is of some value (useful for a little), but godliness (SPIRITUAL TRAINING) is USEFUL and of value in EVERYTHING and in EVERY WAY, for it HOLDS promise for the PRESENT life and also for the life which is to COME.” 1 Timothy 4:7-8/Amplified.

“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you COMPLETELY; and may your WHOLE spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV.

“For THE WORD of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the SOUL and SPIRIT [the completeness of a person], and of both JOINTS and MARROW [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are open and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 Amplified.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the HUMAN HEART [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“. . . 13 For thou hast POSSESSED MY REINS:thou hast COVERED ME IN MY MOTHER’S WOMB. 14 I will praise thee; FOR I AM FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY MADE: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 THINE EYES DID SEE MY SUBSTANCE, YET BEING UNPERFECT; AND IN THY BOOK ALL MY MEMBERS WERE WRITTEN, WHICH IN CONTINUANCE WERE FASHIONED, WHEN AS YET THERE WAS NONE OF THEM. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee” Psalms 139:1-18.
