THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME

By Leave a Comment

THE MANDATE TO – OCCUPY TILL I COME: INVOLVES FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE!

“And he CALLED his ten servants, and DELIVERED them ten pounds, and SAID unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME” Luke 19:13.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

There’s the CHOICE to make in life in terms of either being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – or to make the CHOICE of being – MERELY SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves. And it’s only by following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT in your life that FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead comes to reality. That’s what it means for one to earnestly enact the charged, assigned, and commissioned mandate to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, so that you don’t just attained success but the fulfilment therein.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

The quest there in the concept to – OCCUPY TILL I COME – is you are prepared to let God be the lead in the concept, especially when you are subjected to circumstances that’s different from your expectations as Philip the evangelist experienced by following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for his life – Act 8:1-40; Acts 21:7-9. As Philip the evangelist in obedience – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for you? And especially when you know that in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, the ride and drive may not always be pleasing but you can deduce it’s your place of FULFILLMENT in Him. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere glamour SUCCESS for men applaud and hype. Following God’s plan, purpose and pursuit for your life it’s the only guarantees for God’s APPROVAL and your fulfilment in Him.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified (Ephesians 1:11).

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skilfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

A person who is keen only for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry as Philip the evangelist did in obedience –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT (remote) which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees obedience to God’s instructions far higher, richer and fulfilling as written in Acts 8:8, 26-29.

“. . . 8 And there was GREAT REJOICING in that CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to GAZA. This is the DESERT [route]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of GREAT AUTHORITY under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to WORSHIP. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

“And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the brethren, and abode with them one day. 8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him. 9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy” Acts 8:7-9.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful or to have a global or the glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; Evangelist Philip was someone whose goal is to be a disciple and follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit; and one who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip the  evangelist did in Acts 8. Such attitude toward God’s intent, is what I called and considered as one who is – OCCUPYING TILL HE COMES and OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. It must be noted for sure that SUCCESS is good but it’s relative in life to all and it’s of God however; but God’s earnest desire is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve FULFILMENT which is far beyond just being SUCCESSFUL. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us to be successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well-being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively as charged to – OCCUPY TILL I COME.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ: . . . 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, . . . 11 in whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will” Ephesians 1:3, 5, 11.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative to all, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s in doing this God’s given and driven charge in an unhindered and uncompromising way; and with anything of sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord Christ Jesus did in 1 John 3:8; John 18:37 and Apostle Paul did in obedience as in Philippians 3:1-16, and upon which others like Archippus was exhorted, admonished and charged to do likewise also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; which is far beyond – from just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

Therefore I urge you today to follow God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your fulfilment in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, because success is RELATIVE in matters of doing life and living godly.

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE

FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE, AND PURSUIT IN YOUR LIFE: IT GIVES FULFILMENT IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Jesus said to them, My food (nourishment) is to DO the WILL (pleasure) of Him Who sent Me and to accomplish and completely FINISH His work” John 4:34/Amplified Classic Edition.

There’s the CHOICE of being – FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) – and the CHOICE of being – MERELY A SUCCESS AND SUCCESSFUL in life as many have found themselves to passionate be driven with to become.

The quest there in the above concept is this – can you afford to move from a place of GLAMOUR SUCCESS to a DESERT PLACE in life when it’s God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for you? And especially when you know that the God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, could be your place of FULFILLMENT indeed. I want you to know for sure that doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, is all about FOLLOWING GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life in grace and possibly in ministry rather than just having a mere glamour of SUCCESS or being SUCCESSFUL for men applaud and hype while unfulfilled in God’s intent for your life and wellbeing. Following God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life it’s the only guaranteed for God’s APPROVAL and your FULFILMENT in Him as did exemplified for us to follow and walk in His steps as Disciples of Him in Father God by the Holy Spirit.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8 (John 18:37)

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED (ACCREDITED , ATTESTED) of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22/Emphasis Mine.

“And we know [with great CONFIDENCE] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES all things to work together [as a PLAN] for good for those who love God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Amplified [Ephesians 1:11].

“Study and do your best to present yourself to God APPROVED, a workman [tested by trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Amplified.

Know for the truth that any person who’s keen for a MERE glamour SUCCESS inclination and attachment, will not see the need to leave such GLAMOUR place and position to attend to a single person business outfit’s or Gospel Ministry –  especially as to go to such a place in the DESERT [REMOTE] which was accomplished by Philip the Evangelist – who sees OBEDIENCE to God’s INSTRUCTIONS [PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT] far higher and fulfilling as written in Acts 21:8, 26-29.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST UNTO THEM. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING IN THAT CITY . . . 26 But an angel of the Lord SAID to Philip, RISE and PROCEED southward or at midday on the road that runs from Jerusalem down to Gaza. This is the DESERT [REMOTE]. 27 So he GOT UP and WENT. And behold, an Ethiopian, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure, had come to Jerusalem to worship. 28 And he was [now] returning, and sitting in his chariot he was reading the book of the prophet Isaiah. 29 Then the [Holy] Spirit SAID to Philip, GO FORWARD and join yourself to this chariot . . .” Acts 8:1-8, 26-40.

And such obedience of Evangelist Philip to DIVINE order and command, is only possible of a person whose objective is not about being successful 9r have a global or glamour success but of being in obedience and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus stead in God; that’s someone whose goal is to be a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – and who truly believes in WHOLENESS of God’s lead and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8. That’s what I call and consider as one who is – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE or ASSIGNMENT irrespective of the norm and prejudice that’s about the person.

Hence I am asking you today – WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment irrespective of the norm about you?

Are you just a mere glamour SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good but relative and it’s of God however; but God’s desires is for us in Christ Jesus stead to have and achieve SUCCESS but far beyond just being successful. For we are blessed of God and He wants the best for us and to have us successful in our life’s endeavours but not at the EXPENSE of His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for our well being in Him. Amen. So, there’s the need to balance the pursuit for success and to being fulfilled in God by following His plan, purpose and pursuit for us respectively.

“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in good health [physically], just as [I know] your soul prospers [spiritually]” 3 John 2/Amplified.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

Unlike SUCCESS which is relative, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s given and driven – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – in LIFE and GODLY living. And it’s about doing this God’s given and driven in an unhindered and uncompromised way, with any sorts outside God’s intent, just as our Lord  Christ Jesus did (1 John 3:8; John 18:37) and Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

BEING FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is about living a God GIVEN and DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE; that’s what brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and which is far beyond – just being a merely SUCCESSFUL person by material accumulation that’s of no heavenly implications under God’s assigned plan, purpose and pursuit.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

By Leave a Comment

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED: IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD – AND NOT BY DEFINED METHODS!

In life ABUSE means – ABNORMAL (ABNORMALLY) USE. It’s a result of being UNINFORMED of the PURPOSE of a thing. There’s ABUSE in almost in every places in life – abuse of individual or people, position, power, resources (money, time and effort) and opportunities and materials.

An example of abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because majority of time most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE, they abuse their spouses. We see often how much is spent on FORTUNES in terms of – Time, Money, Material and Efforts – in preparing for a day WEDDING while those concerns make no adequate preparation and are not properly INFORMED to the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for the intended MARRIAGE supposedly – that should be for life in grace till death do either or both apart. Hence, we see today many infightings and abuses within, and unnecessary reasons being given for divorce respectively. This OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born-Again Christian Home. And unfortunately, in most cases, where children are involved, it has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationship.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by it many talents, vision and dreams to enhance life and godly living has ended up in the GRAVEYARDS unfulfilled.

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states “And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ’ but rather – “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING no matter the prevailing circumstances. The principle herein is this – you have to READ in order to acquire or until you obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT – that is, the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision in terms of – Executing Business/Enterprise, Pursuing a Career, Positioning towards Gospel Ministry, Governance in Politics/Governance, Leadership/Management, Marriage/Relationship of all sorts and many other such likes. When you don’t read before you run as Scripturally set, then failures and frustration awaits; just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations; simply because of their RUNNING ahead by their mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND, the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT.

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING.

Therefore, as you set your day PLANS PURPOSE AND PURSUITS, endeavour to be sure by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION.

God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED – it’s by PRINCIPLE and not by METHOD. For what may apply to one case may not apply to another hence application by METHODS will fail in most cases while application by PRINCIPLE will always triumph.

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“This Book of the Law shall not DEPART from your mouth, but YOU shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that YOU may OBSERVE to do according to all that is written in it. For then YOU will MAKE your way PROSPEROUS, and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Truly, these times of IGNORANCE God overlooked, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT (change of heart), 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRING), not KNOWING the Scriptures (PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING) nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

AVOID BEING MISTAKEN

AVOID BEING MISTAKEN: READ TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES TO AVOID BEING MISTAKEN AND BE FOUND IN AN ERRONEOUS CAPTIVITY!

“Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13.

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis mine.

You are mistaken, walking in error and powerless because you simply RUN before you READ; hence READ first if you must RUN to achieve, succeed, triumph and such like more, in that purposeful visioned concept for your meaningful result of God in Christ Jesus stead. For READING keeps you INFORMED. And INFORMED people makes INFORMED DECISIONS and not in a mere guesses or guessing decisions. And INFORMED DECISIONS makes INFORMED LIVING in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

READ BEFORE YOU RUN – DON’T PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. YOU WILL EXERT UNNECESSARY EFFORTS TO NO WHERE – FOR WISDOM IS ONLY PROFITABLE TO DIRECT THROUGH KNOWLEDGE

“If the IRON be BLUNT, and he DO NOT WHET the edge, then must he PUT TO MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to direct” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

“If the AXE is DULL and he DOES NOT SHARPEN its edge, then he must EXERT more strength; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him SUCCEED [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/AMP.

Don’t blame others for your poor prescription order in the principle of doing life in Christ Jesus stead if you don’t read before you run. For wisdom is the application of knowledge and knowledge is as result of the pure SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that one had been informed to contain.

YOU ARE EITHER RESPONDING OR REACTING – KNOWLEDGE WILL MAKE ONE RESPOND TO LIFE MATTERS BY THE WORD WHILE IGNORANCE MAKES ONE REACT TO LIFE MATTERS BECAUSE THERE’S NO WORD.

And a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. For FAITH comes by the WORD – [Romans 10:17]. And by FAITH we do life with God to overcome in humanity. [1 John 5:4-5; Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17)]. And by not doing life by FAITH is Sin – [Romans 14:23]. And without doing life by FAITH it’s possible to PLEASE God – [Hebrews 11:1-3, 6]. Thus, it indicates why it’s important and imperative to ensure and be assured of the knowledge and understanding of the WORD of God in every context application, to necessitates and  ascertain the WISDOM for any to succeed with God in Christ Jesus stead.

BELOVED, AVOID BEING MISTAKEN – READ TO KNOW THE SCRIPTURES IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING MISTAKEN AND BE FOUND IN AN ERRONEOUS CAPTIVITY – AND SOMETIMES IRREVERSIBLE BONDAGES

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

There’s an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUERORS for you in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, in life we are face daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that’s to BECOME by THE WORD of God or by our fleshly self-make-up belief or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . Hence, to BECOME in that desired yearnings of your heart by the enabling POWER of self-CHOICE in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE, DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts – which God abhorrest and winked at. [Acts 17:30-31]. For it breeds stupidity and fooolishness and arrogance. For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, has ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. And those by chance to amanced anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity as it’s thus written:

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. The principle there, is this,  that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction, that is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage (Marital-Relationships), Friendship-Relationship and such like the more.

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then failures awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. It’s because of their RUNNING by a mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. Simply know for the truth that a good understanding breeds Favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness as it’s written:

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING.

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY.

Have a graceful and blessed day.

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

FULFILMENT IN CHRIST: THE CHOICE OF – BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished,  by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s –  PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“For REBELLION is as the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast rejected THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

“For unto us a CHILD IS BORN, unto us a SON IS GIVEN (MADE): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace . . .” Isaiah 9:6-7/Emphasis Mine [Read Galatians 4:1-7].

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating it’s kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a believe that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavour of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of  PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of ones kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavour of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, LOVEST thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP” John 21:15-17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The LAMBS are for thy CLOTHING, and the GOATS are the PRICE OF THE FIELD. 27 And thou shalt have GOATS’ MILK enough for thy FOOD, for the FOOD of thy HOUSEHOLD, and for the MAINTENANCE for thy MAIDENS” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he LED him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 AS AN EAGLE STIRRETH UP HER NEST, FLUTTERETH OVER HER YOUNG, SPREADETH ABROAD HER WINGS, TAKETH THEM, BEARETH THEM ON HER WINGS: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He MADE him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:7-14.

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT

By Leave a Comment

GOD’S HAVE PROMISED YOU GOOD SUCCESS AND FULFILMENT: AND IT’S MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH FAITH AND DILIGENCE AND SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS [NOBLE, DIGNITY, HONOUR]; he shall not STAND before MEAN [OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE, SLUGGARD] men” Proverbs 22:29.

Success is failure turned inside out; and it’s one thing to have SUCCESS or be SUCCESSFUL by whatever factor of measure, and it’s another thing to be FULFILLED in that SUCCESS that’s attained within the relative context. And you need to know that SUCCESS without FULFILMENT is a nightmare. And in this context, it’s about the INNER PEACE and TRANQUILITY and FORTITUDE within the human spirit that nothing else can satisfy but God.

“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.

There is SUCCESS and there is GOOD SUCCESS in the context of the scriptures just as there’s a GOOD FAITH of FAITH and a BAD FIGHT of FAITH, also there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE [Joshua 1:8; 1 Timothy 6:12; 1 Timothy 1:18]. It may be okay to have success or be successful in the world context; but to have and obtain the God’s intended kind, which is of GOOD SUCCESS, there is the path to follow in scriptural context into receiving God’s promise. The GOOD SUCCESS which God offers comes through DILIGENCE in the MEDITATION of the WORD that gives insights and foresights of God in SUCCESS context.

“And we desire that each one of you show the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become SLUGGISH [SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD], but IMITATE those who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/NKJV.

God’s act of good SUCCESS is to bring you to a place of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT within and without. What is SUCCESS without the inner well-being of joy, happiness and FULFILMENT in Christ Jesus. It is this actualisation differences that makes some of the claimed to be successful are false, because their acclaimed SUCCESS ends up with no joy, happiness and FULFILMENT but an INNER state that is suicidal, insecurity, fear of the known and the unknown, and in doing many other unimaginable acts of vices in order to fill safe and secured as a means to satisfy that quest, void and vacuum that only God offers through the MEDITATION – in and on His WORD.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt MAKE thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

You must also know that in life, SUCCESS is relative. And to have it good, it’s about the illumination and enlightening of God’s WORD through FAITH that overshadow one’s being in that SUCCESS. For one to be enriches with INNER peace and tranquility, one must know that it’s of God in the human spirit. It is that INNER spirit empowering that gives the overwhelming OUTER joy, happiness and FULFILMENT; otherwise  it ends up with a broken spirit despite the SUCCESS, which is destructive.

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN his INFIRMITY; but a WOUNDED spirit who can BEAR?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY HEART doeth GOOD like a MEDICINE: but a BROKEn spirit DRIETH the BONES” Proverbs 17:22.

Know for certainly that when a Believer is in desperation to be successful outside the SCRIPTURAL terms of reference, it will not be of a clean act neither a good end and ending with the earnestly desired innermost peace and tranquility. The Scriptures thus indicate that those who are in HASTE to get to SUCCESS outside God underscore the Scriptural context and will not be innocent but will have their hands stain with dirt as it’s written:

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

To experience the good SUCCESS that God offers without stress, sweat, complain, murmuring and such like, you need to plug into the fountain of life; and walk through His path that gives springs of liveliness and livelihood; and are found in DILIGENCE walk in SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION on God’s factor for good SUCCESS.

TRIUMPHANTLY ENSURING YEAR 2024

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHANTLY ENSURING YEAR 2024: YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED – IT’S IN YOUR REDEMPTIVE DNA!

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST [REVEALS] the SAVOUR [FRAGRANCE, SCENT] of His KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“And having SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS, He made a SHEW of them OPENLY, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:15 [8-15].

The last time I checked concerning your RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES of God in REDEMPTION deed in Christ Jesus stead, I can boldly say to you, that YOU ARE BORN of GOD and JUSTIFIED in His GRACE to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in LIFE AND GODLY LIVING. And TRIUMPHING GLORIOUSLY is by the PRINCIPLE of the ASSURED WORD of God and not by METHODS or of any form of METHODICAL approach, and those that are fathom by any man out of God’s WORD in order to suit their pervert and adulteration. [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15].

“Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: “I will sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea! 2 The Lord is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him; My father’s God, and I will EXALT Him . . . 20 Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. 21 And Miriam answered them: “Sing to the Lord, for He has TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21/NKJV.

Triumphing gloriously is of your redemption  and God’s given will for you. And you can’t live less out of the context and concept of God’s WORD for your ASSURED TRIUMPH. Hence, the IGNORANCE of God’s principle in concept and context is dangerous and deadly in any form of application. That’s why is it’s NOT ENOUGH to KNOW of Christ Jesus, you must KNOW and UNDERSTAND also the PRINCIPLES He applied in solving and dealing with human life problems by the Holy writ in His humanity and His present day ministry with us today, as Saviour and Lord of all. And for this cause, the Holy Spirit is given to us to ensure that the ASSURED WORD of God is applied in the concept and context of the principle of the writ in order to help us enact and authenticate the Christ Jesus stead in us in redemption. Amen.

“And the TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE (UNEASE) place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by IGNORANCE many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, has ended up in the GRAVEYARDS place UNFULFILLED and UNACCOMPLISHED. And God abhors ignorance at all points, hence we must quest for the knowledge of Christ Jesus to TRIUMPHANTLY live victoriously in every places  [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15; Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21]. And those by chance to amanced anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place as it’s written –

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION [COMPANY] of the DEAD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, EXPIRED]” Proverbs 21:16/Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God. This is profound when one take the light from Habakkuk 2:2 which states:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it”.

The Scriptures DID NOT say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather says, that “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING no matter the prevailing circumstances.

The principle to TRIUMPH therefore, is this,  that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT in CONTEXT, that is, the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of yours, be it in – Business, Entrepreneurship, Career, Ministry, Governance, Marriage/Marital Relationships, Friendship Relationship and such like more.

When you CHOOSE to do life out of SCRIPTURAL context as a born again child of God, know for SURE that FAILURES awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. And it’s because of their RUNNING by a mere ZEAL or PASSION without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. Be it known for the truth that a good understanding breeds Favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness as it’s written:

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS IS HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your VISION by READING it again to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it’s principle again before RUNNING with it. For life is a based on the POWER of CHOICE – To BECOME by THE WORD is BLESSEDNESS . . . And to BECOME by IGNORANCE is CANCEROUS and DEADLY . . . THEREFORE, CHOOSE WISELY.

HAVE A GRACEFUL AND BLESSED DAY.

GOOD SUCCESS: IT’S ABOUT BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST JESUS!

GOOD SUCCESS: IT’S ABOUT BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST JESUS!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” Colossians 4:17.

My spiritual father and mentor in the Lord of blessed memory once said:

 “SUCCESS WITHOUT A SUCCESSOR IS FAILURE IN DISGUISE”

Taking a stand on wisdom nugget stand above, it thus means, it’s not enough to wake up, count your chickens and say I’m a SUCCESS – that is to say, there is NO TRUE SUCCESS when you have not REPRODUCE yourself in the life of someone or others who goes to make others a SUCCESS in succession.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written THEREIN: for then thou shalt make thy WAY PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS.  9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:8-9.

In the light of the Scriptures, GOOD SUCCESS begins with the WORD in your MOUTH and the Word content in your spirit-heart of meditation. THINK ABOUT IT. [Joshua 1:8. Romans 10:8-10; Psalms 19:14. Proverbs 18:20-21].

I know SUCCESS in terms is RELATIVE. But GOOD SUCCESS is about BEING FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, that is to say – laying hold to eternal reward from God, having reproduce your you in life, in the cause of God’s mandate and assignment in your life.

“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“And all bare HIM [JESUS CHRIST] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:23.

You need to THINK about FULFILMENT while you go concluding I AM A SUCCESS. Just a SUCCESS is not the FINAL, until you KEEP to the FAITH to the end in FULFILMENT of God’s PURPOSE. [Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11].

Every grace, wisdom and speed in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am now READY to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.  7 I have fought a good fight, I have FINISHED my course, I have KEPT the FAITH:  8 henceforth there is LAID UP for me a CROWN of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall GIVE ME at that day: and not to me only, but unto ALL THEM also that LOVE his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy MOUTH; but thou shalt MEDITATE therein day and night, that thou mayest OBSERVE to do according to all that is written THEREIN: for then thou shalt make thy WAY PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS.  9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:8-9.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED TO THE MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it.” Colossians 4:17.

“A man’s BELLY shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT of his MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall eat the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

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

“Let the WORDS of my MOUTH, and the MEDITATION of my HEART, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer” Psalms 19:14.

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION [CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION]” Hebrews 4:14.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION [CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION] of our FAITH without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.
