THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH 

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20. 

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded and the maimed, where those a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comfort others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory. 

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling station and garage for the fuelling and refuelling, the centre for the repair and repairing of the car – and in such places you don’t run the car there after fuelling or repairing but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church that makes up that gathering in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20. 

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guild rails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is living and lively, loving and touchable, and it’s also reachable, and the life is liveable and more, as God in Christ Jesus, the head of the Church. The Church is otherwise called THE BODY OF CHRIST which you are a member there to function and not as a structure.  

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33. 

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. 

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such the Church is sanctified, cleansed, loved, glorious, holy, without spot, wrinkle, blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33]. 

“. . . For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the HEAD OF THE CHURCH: and He is the SAVIOUR of THE BODY. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by THE WORD, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having SPOT, or WRINKLE, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and without BLEMISH . . . 32 This is a great MYSTERY: but I speak concerning Christ and the church . . .” Ephesians 5:23-32 

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY [APPROPRIATELY] and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:40/Emphasis Mine. 

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10. 

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine. 

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in PARTICULAR so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33. 

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: THE LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT CHURCH!
 
“Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that Church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise –
And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.
 
“But THANKS be to God, who ALWAYS LEADS us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident everywhere the sweet FRAGRANCE of the KNOWLEDGE of Him” 2 Corinthians 2:14 Amplified.
 
Yea, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit.
 
“. . . 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of Your STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH). RULE in the MIDST of your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS (WILLING) in the DAY of your POWER; In the BEAUTIES of HOLINESS, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW (UNCTION) of your youth” Psalms 110:1-3 NKJV.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in everyway of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.
 
“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.
 
“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is Spirit-breathed and alive; and not a mere organisation; and is living on the wings of Him who ever lives and is ageless. And He’s building the Spirit-inspiring, Spirit-revealing and Spirit-empowering army that’s ensured and assured that the gates of hades of the ENEMY and COHORTS can’t prevail and can’t matched the army as is captained by Him who rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, on earth and beneath the earth. The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the Church of God on the earth and is energised and synergised along with an invincible armoury and weapons and angelically assisted.
 
“. . . 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and THE GATES OF HELL shall not PREVAIL AGAINST IT. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt BIND ON EARTH shall be BOUND IN HEAVEN: and whatsoever thou shalt LOOSE ON EARTH shall be LOOSED IN HEAVEN . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.
 
The CHURCH of God is the you, local and universal body of born again and Spirit-filled believers of God in Christ Jesus, under a Shepherd. For under the Sun, there are two groups (THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (otherwise called the Greeks) and the third – THE CHURCH OF GOD. And the Church of God is made of the born again of THE JEWS and THE GENTILES (GREEKS) otherwise called the the circumcised or the uncircumcised in Christ Jesus. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; 1 Corinthians 10:32; Galatians 5:6.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is equipped with an invincible armoury and weapons in union with an invisible heavenly angelic army as a re-enforcement with an emboldening and a fearless and unfailing dedicated and committed physical army called – The Church of God that’s of individual, local and universal across every continent on earth with unparalleled captain and commander and headship of God’s army – Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:20-23; Ephesians 3:20-21.

An unparalleled army that’s beyond the walls and boundaries of any known and to be known denomination, tribe, kindred, colour, tongue and nation and such like – and spread across the universe and far superior and above any known government and governance, principalities and powers and dominions that are known, written and yet unknown by any measure. Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:4-10; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is the only known army that’s invincibly and angelically assisted and ministered to irrespective of location without respect to person’s; and faith in to the authority of the supreme commander captain and headship of God in Christ Jesus stead by the blessed Holy Spirit. Hebrews 1:7, 14; Joshua 5:13-15.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY battle field is not warred in the flesh but in the spirit – pulling down strong holds and kingdom, casting down vain imaginations, authorities and leadership, principalities and powers and rulers of evil and wickedness and such like, that are disrespectful and not subject to the authority of God. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Peter 5:7-11; Ephesians 6:10-20.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY is beyond being a Jew or Gentile or Greek, heathen or circumcised or uncircumcised but is born of God from any of the aforementioned to be called the THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord and God personified. 1 Corinthians 10:32, Romans 2:28-29; Galatians 3:6-9, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 1:18-24; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:13-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Romans 3:28-29; Romans 10:4, 8-13.
 
And you are that individual, local and universal Church of God as depicted as the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – for which is one God, one baptism, one Lord, one faith, one God and father. Ephesians 4:4-6; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
 
The UNPARALLELED ARMY has only one Shepherd who only is ascribed as the GOOD, CHIEF and GREAT SHEPHERD of this superior army. Psalms 23; John 10:11-18; 1 Peter 5:4; Hebrews 13:20-21.
 
THE UNPARALLELED ARMY IS:
* Fearless
* Strong
* Courageous
* Militant-Like Soldier
* Loving
* Glorious
* Triumphant
* Victorious
* More than Conqueror
* Overcomer
* Emboldened
* Assured
* Emboldened
* Angelic assisted
* Captained by the Lord God of hosts
* . . . and much more as Spirit-breathed
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that we as the UNPARALLELED ARMY, the Church of God in Christ Jesus, will not fall out God’s given assignment and divine PURPOSE in our world’s in time.

Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

THE TRIUMPHANT AND GLORIOUS CHURCH: JESUS CHRIST – THE COMPLETE SHEPHERD!

“. . . 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might SANCTIFY and CLEANSE it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.  . . .” Ephesians 5:22-33.

The Church is defined as an individual, local and collective body of born again Spirit-filled believer’s in Christ Jesus under a shepherd. And our Saviour And Lord Jesus Christ is the COMPLETE Shepherd of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH and you can count and account on Him in 24/7 timeless time in life and grace. And it’s awesome, gracious and graceful to know that the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD and PERSONAL SHEPHERD of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS Church is Jesus Christ – who is our Saviour King and Lord of All. For by Him the Church is glorious and triumphant in every way in the grace.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour 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.

More so, the Holy Scriptures enjoined that Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, is to us, THE CHURCH and as individual and collective body, the complete shepherd:

The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

“And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away“

The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen“

The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .14 I am the GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”

My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever” Psalms 23:1-6.

When you can comprehend this, there is no need to worry, live in fear and despondent because He’s ever faithful to who and what He is as our CHIEF, GREAT and GOOD SHEPHERD.

I pray that the BLESSEDNESS of having the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD AND PERSONAL SHEPHERD over you, should keep your heads up, shoulder high and heels high; more so, the mandate to triumph over all your infirmities, limitations and CIRCUMSTANCES in your day to day in LIFE and GODLINESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14/Amplified.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15/Amplified.

I want you to know for certain, and be assured to ensure, that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you ARE the Church in TRIUMPH and not the architectural building where the ingathering to worship our God worthily and to serve Him acceptably is centred. And knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify [crucify] – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES [Galatians 5:16, 24-25].

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

It thus means TRIUMPH is by living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit LEADS – the Holy Spirit Inspired life, and by the WORD of God, through your human spirit-being by the auction of grace that’s within you [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27]. This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being that is SPIRIT-RULED and not BODILY-RULED or FLESHLY-RULED. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus that’s within you – [Romans 8:1-17]. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING [1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4], and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God [Romans 10:17].

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God [1 Corinthians 1:9], because there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. Thus, it indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God [John 4:19-24].

The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

HEAR/Hearing

SEE/Seeing

TASTE/Tasting

SMELL/Smelling

FEEL/Feeling [Touch/Touching]

Sadly enough – there is EFFECT and there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These FIVE SENSES EFFECTS that results to the fall of the first creation man [Adam] and was defeated by the second Adam [Christ Jesus] to give us assurance of hope and triumph when we are living and walking by the WORD in the Spirit are these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

The LUST of the EYES

The LUST of the FLESH

The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God [Genesis 3]. These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain [Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11]. Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 John 2:15-17]. The matter therefore is this – will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses and its EFFECTS by the simple affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 [1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6]. Thus meaning, No WORD, No FAITH and No enacting of the TRIUMPH in the grace [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. Otherwise, it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made make-believes, creeds and such like.

Therefore, as the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we ARE, and by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit, we will not fulfill the DEEDS and desired EFFECTS of the Flesh [fleshy-ruled, bodily-ruled].

BE BLESSED IN the grace as you live and walk in triumph in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14 (Amplified).

“And having SPOILED principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:15.

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15 (Amplified).

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“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 and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHURCH OF GOD – IT’S BEYOND WALLS: IT’S THE ONLY UNIFYING BOND OF THE JEWS AND THE GENTILES [GREEKS] – IN REDEMPTION!
 
“Give NONE offence, NEITHER to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD” 1 Corinthians 10:32.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.
 
The scriptural books of the New Testament are grossly fielded with matters of the JEWS and the GENTILES – which sometimes the context of the GENTILE in reference is applicable to the GREEK indicating they are one and same in classification.
 
The scriptural people in the New Testament CONTEXT are classified into TWO and the THIRD groups of people in kind. The FIRST groups are THE JEWS, who are the custodian of THE LAW under Moses and depicted as the NATURAL OFFSPRING of Abraham. While the SECOND groups are THE GENTILES, often depict as THE GREEK, which together are summed to represent all people (called unbelievers) irrespective, who are not The Jews, for having no law of God as the natural Jews, thereby are seen to reason in their ways outside the law or commandments of God as given through Moses with the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham [Ephesians 2:1-22; Philippians 3:1-16; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Romans 2:17-29].
 
And most times in the scriptural context, the natural JEWS are classed as those of the CIRCUMCISION, while the GENTILES otherwise the GREEKS, are classed as the UNCIRCUMCISION. When either of The Jews – the CIRCUMCISION, and The Gentiles [Greeks] – UNCIRCUMCISION, gets BORN AGAIN [BORN OF GOD] in Christ Jesus, they form the basis for the THIRD groups called – THE CHURCH OF GOD. It thus means that the Jews and the Gentiles are UNIFIED and BONDED only in Christ Jesus, in the REDEMPTION – the REDEMPTION of God in Christ Jesus stead, for all mankind irrespective. Hence, the once term the Gentiles and the Jews are UNIFIED and BONDED by REDEMPTION, and have now become together – the SPIRITUAL JEWS [these are NEW CREATION breeds of God – having the law of God written in their hearts and with the written WORD available to them], which CIRCUMCISION is of the HEART and not of the FLESH to worship and serve together by the Holy Spirit, in spirit and truth, under one fold and irrespective, as written:
 
“For the name of God is blasphemed among the GENTILES through you, as it is written. 25 For CIRCUMCISION verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy CIRCUMCISION is made UNCIRCUMCISION. 26 Therefore if the UNCIRCUMCISION keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his UNCIRCUMCISION be counted for CIRCUMCISION? 27 And shall not UNCIRCUMCISION which is BY NATURE, if it FULFIL THE LAW, judge thee, who by the letter and CIRCUMCISION dost transgress the law? 28 For he is Not A Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: 29 but he is a JEW, which is one INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and NOT IN THE LETTER [FLESH]; whose praise is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:24-29.
 
It’s only the basis of the REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, that formulated the principle that makes up of the “JEWS” and the “GENTILES” to become ascribed as “THE CHURCH OF GOD”. This gives both the basis to sing a common new sung instead of their respective old sung of difference that gives no wholesome stands and access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. The song that binds together the REDEEMED of God from every kindred, tongue, people and nation as it’s written:
 
“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
Today, the redeemed – born of God Jews and Gentiles that have been bonded to become the Church of God, can now together, without sentiments, prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy), have a STAND by GRACE to ACCESS by FAITH and ENJOY their REDEMPTION RIGHTS and Privileges, in Christ Jesus. For “THE CHURCH OF GOD” that consist of both the REDEEMED Jews and Gentiles – is God’s physical enabling on earth that guarantees the ensuring of the rights and privileges into His BLESSEDNESS to ‘POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION’ in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.
 
The CHURCH OF GOD, which is the CITY of God, the EMBASSY of God, the TEMPLE of God, the HOUSEHOLD of FAITH, the BODY of Christ, the AMBASSADOR of Christ and the MOUNT ZION and such like – is you, the redeemed (born of God) Jews and Gentiles. And knowingly and unknowingly, your being by redemption, is having the DNA of God in Christ Jesus to POSSESS God’s BLESSEDNESS, and in POSSESSING your Possessions as inheritance, in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead. For there’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION both THE JEWS and THE GENTILES – THE CHURCH OF GOD.
 
In Possessing your Kingdom PRIVILEGED and RIGHTFUL possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start, is to get along WITH – THE CHURCH OF GOD – the ASSEMBLY or INGATHERING of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes THE CHURCH OF GOD in a physical assembly – so goes YOU and THE NATION at large, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons. For in any ingathering the Holy Writ thus indicates the heavenly are equally present as it’s written:
 
“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that SPEAKETH better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).
 
For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING to ENSURE God’s BLESSEDNESS, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the local assembly Church of the Body of Christ Jesus, in order to BECOME a part to FUNCTION effectually and efficiently. There’s no room for a lone person outside the body that’s perfectly meant to be joined together – Ephesians 4:7-16. The reason been, the Church which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God – the Church of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly – by coming together, for the ingathering. The principal order of grace enables one and all, to access and receive these but not limited:
  • DELIVERANCE from all sorts (you name it).
  • HOLINESS – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.
  • POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.
Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that has intentionally BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in God’s REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written in the Holy Writ:
 
“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).
 
Therefore, we can now be emboldened to say, declare, announce, proclaim that our DOMINION IN REDEMPTION is beyond walls – and it’s the UNIFYING BOND of the JEWS and the GENTILES (GREEKS) in becoming – THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks? 31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 32 GIVE NONE OFFENCE, NEITHER TO THE JEWS, NOR TO THE GENTILES, NOR TO THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:30-33.
 
“For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. 6 For IN Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH which worketh by love . . . 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach CIRCUMCISION, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the OFFENCE of the cross ceased” Galatians 5:5-6, 11.
 
“For Christ is the END of the LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth . . . 11 For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the same Lord over all is RICH unto ALL that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:4-6, 11-13.
 
“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. 11 Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:13-16.
 
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath RECONCILED US to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath GIVEN TO US the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, RECONCILING the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath COMMITTED unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath MADE him to BE sin for us, who KNEW NO sin; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the SAME are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, FORESEEING that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL NATIONS be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham . . .13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither JEW nor GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
 
“For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with WISDOM of WORDS, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that PERISH FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which ARE SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS require a SIGN, and the GREEKS seek after WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the GREEKS FOOLISHNESS; 24 but unto them which are called, BOTH JEWS AND GREEKS, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD . . .30 But of him ARE ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him GLORY in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:17-24, 30-31.
 
“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to OPEN THE SEALS thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.
 
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.
 
“For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also glorified” Romans 8:29-30.
 
“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye BE NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (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.
 
“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general ASSEMBLY and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the MEDIATOR of the NEW COVENANT, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

POSSESSING OUR POSSESSION IN REDEMPTION!
 
It’s about APPROPRIATING and ENACTING our REDEMPTION – As A DONE DEED In Christ. And the reality [realisation] is in the knowing, as in these:
 
For you can NEVER POSSESS what you are UNWILLING to PURSUE by grace in Redemption.
 
For Kingdom life will only offer and give back to you what you are able in grace to place a DEMAND upon in order to obtain in REDEMPTION.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: GO IN and POSSESS the LAND which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.
 
“But upon mount ZION shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS their POSSESSION” Obadiah 1:17 (Hebrews 12:22-24).
 
“Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 and I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed” Genesis 12:1-3.
 
“And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: 14 FOR HE HAD POSSESSION OF FLOCKS, AND POSSESSION OF HERDS, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. 15 For all the wells which his father’s servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth” Genesis 26:13-14.
 
“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [a]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] POSSESSION [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14.

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE

By Leave a Comment

LET’S BE WILLING – LET’S READILY VOLUNTEER ON THE DAY OF BATTLE: IT’S THE DAY OF GOD’S POWER AND OUR STRENGTH COMES OUT OF ZION – THE CHURCH!

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise – And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould.

Yea, Individuals, Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Satanic Evil Cohorts, have risen and fallen; lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died; yet the Church of Jesus Christ, the greatest UNPARALLELED force known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges; and in the midst of all the hates and attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS.

It’s all simply because this Kingdom Cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, that endures and will endures through ALL GENERATIONS.

“Thy KINGDOM IS AN EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and thy DOMINION endureth throughout ALL GENERATIONS” Psalms 145:13.

Therefore as God’s Battle Axe and Weapons of War, God’s Church in Christ Jesus, it’s time to ARISE and BUILD with that selfless hearts of FAITH, HOPE and LOVE again, in order to set things alright in the human DECADENCE and PERVERSIONS and PESTILENCE that we all see EVERY DAY on our denominationised Churches, Homes, Streets, Roads, Governments, Communities and in every places of living and doing life.

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I MAKE Your ENEMIES Your footstool.” 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF YOUR STRENGTH OUT OF ZION. RULE in the MIDST of Your ENEMIES! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS in the DAY OF YOUR POWER; In the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You have the DEW [ANOINTING] of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV.

It’s time to readily VOLUNTEER and be WILLING as God’s UNPARALLELED STRENGTH that’s designed and structured as a default to come through ZION, which is the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For there, we shall RULE and REIGN over the ENEMY and COHORTS, in all their mode of operandi. For the refreshing, anointing and rejuvenating energy of the youth synergy for innovation, creativity, exploring and initiative, is within our being, to do EXPLOIT in the Kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus stead.

THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO READILY VOLUNTEER AND BE WILLING TO GIVE HOPE AND A FUTURE TO OUR GENERATION WITHOUT COMPRISES OF OUR FAITH IN OUR GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. ARE YOU READILY READY TO VOLUNTEER? WILL YOU WATCH THE ENEMY AND COHORTS HAVE THEIR WAY WHILE YOU WATCH? I HAVE VOLUNTEERED AND SAID YES LORD TO YOUR WILL!

We must know full well as the living and alive Church, that we live in the days where only by wisdom we can prevail, do valiantly and exploit in the name of the Lord God. For we as the Church have been given so much tremendous authority and power to bring about the atmosphere we earnestly desired to colour our worlds with God’s goodness, graciousnesss and gracefulness until Christ Jesus returns for the fulness of our God and well being.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people 69 and hath raised up an HORN of salvation for us in the HOUSE of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the MOUTH of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that HATE us; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT fear, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL the DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“He DISAPPOINTETH the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot perform their ENTERPRISE. 13 He TAKETH the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG” Job 5:12-13.

DELIVERING THIS GENERATION

By Leave a Comment

DELIVERING THIS GENERATION: THE MANIFESTATION OF SONSHIP SPIRIT!

“Shall the PREY be taken from the MIGHTY, or THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN AWAY, and the PREY of the terrible shall be DELIVERED: for I will CONTEND with him that CONTENDETH with thee, and I will SAVE thy children . . .” Isaiah 49:24-26.

Redemption is a done complete work in Christ Jesus; so also is our DELIVERANCE and transformation [translation, transfiguration, predestination and conveyance] from darkness to light. And it’s of us, the Believer’s in Christ Jesus, in manifesting and revealing the fullness of the nature of the Sonship spirit of God in us by the given Holy Spirit of  promise, then shall this generation be DELIVERED (RESCUED, EMANCIPATED] from the evil and corruption that’s in the world as written:

“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 us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [b]through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“Grace to you and PEACE [inner calm and spiritual well-being] from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE Himself [as a sacrifice to atone] for our sins [to SAVE and SANCTIFY us] so that He might RESCUE [DELIVER] us from THIS PRESENT EVIL AGE [WORLD], in accordance with the WILL and PURPOSE and PLAN of our God and Father— 5 to Him be [ASCRIBED all] the glory through the AGES of the AGES. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5/Amplified.

God’s earnest intent is to see this generation DELIVERED and EMANCIPATED from the clutches of darkness as we advance the Kingdom cause of God and keep the enemy and cohorts at bay in every measures. However, the question requiring an answer today and now, is if you are willing and ready to arise and be resolved in pursuit to see a generational deliverance in your time?

“. . . 6 And because ye ARE sons, God hath SENT forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father . . .” Galatians 4:1-7.

“. . . 19 For the earnest EXPECTATION of the CREATION waits for the MANIFESTATION [REVEALING] of the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-21.

Therefore, let’s make it all good in goodness, that our manifestation and revealing do happen for the good of the kingdom and humanity in such a time as this generation. You can kick start today within your circus of friends, and community. And together with God in Christ Jesus stead, your generation shall come to know God as I do ensure mine too. And for all to come to the stand in grace wherein they WORSHIP our God in Christ Jesus WORTHILY and correspondingly SERVE Him in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Shall the PREY be taken from the MIGHTY, or THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN AWAY, and the PREY of the terrible shall be DELIVERED: for I will CONTEND with him that CONTENDETH with thee, and I will SAVE thy children . . .” Isaiah 49:24-26.

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the KINGDOM of his dear Son:  14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his BLOOD, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. 13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY ARE THE SONS OF GOD. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. 18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 FOR THE EARNEST EXPECTATION OF THE CREATURE WAITETH FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD. 20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, 21 because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God” Romans 8:9-21.

“For the EYES of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself STRONG in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him . . .” 2 Chronicles 16:9.

“Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under GUARDIANS and STEWARDS until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the FULLNESS of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, BORN of a woman, born under the law, 5 to REDEEM those who were under the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has SENT FORTH the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7/NKJV.

“The Lord said to my Lord, sit at My right hand, till I make Your ENEMIES Your footstool.” 2 The Lord shall send the ROD OF YOUR STRENGTH out of Zion. RULE IN THE MIDST OF YOUR ENEMIES! 3 Your PEOPLE shall be VOLUNTEERS in the day of Your POWER; in the beauties of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the dew of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV.

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS’ IN CHRIST JESUS

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the Churches of God, of which you are a member in particular, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him must WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24.

“Not forsaking the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER [HABIT, BEHAVIOUR] of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes to THE CHURCH, so goes you and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. The reason been, the Church, which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly. The order does not grace there will EXPERIENCE includes but not limited are:

* Deliverance from all sorts (you name it).

* Holiness – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* Possessing your possessions – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in His REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

SCRIPTURAl THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye BE NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT a BLESSING” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (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.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 and in truth: for the Father Seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:20-24.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES: ENDEAVOUR TO FIND ONE NEAR YOU AND ATTEND!

What is CHRISTMAS?

This is the yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our – Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus – and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for all mankind.

What is the CHURCH?

This is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP to enhance their common RELATIONSHIP in Christ Jesus with each other – and to WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY – under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church gathering highlights the CHRISTMAS:

In the MORNING service or at START of service – it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – otherwise THE MASS Service – the Celebration and Commemoration.

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

And in the EVENING gathering or at CLOSING of service it is called BENEDICTION – a time of PROFESSING, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION and ANNOUNCING to the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is ascribed in this scriptural context and injunctions in terms:

“THE GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and THE LOVE of God, and THE COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

It’s good to know in the scriptural context and injunctions in terms are of the 2 Corinthians 13:14, what it thus signifies:

* The GRACE – which is, the ACTS of Christ.

* The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and

* The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally at most Churches gatherings as a declaration, affirmation, and announcement:

“May the GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ, the LOVE of Father God and the COMMUNION of the Holy Spirit be with you” and I add this phrase to it – and those you care about – even as in this Christmas. An Amen.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to attend to the CHURCH GATHERING services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. Absenteeism is not an option when you know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden while LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind” Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
