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 who are a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comforted 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 and garage station for the fueling and refuelling, the repairs and repairing of the car, wherein you don’t run the car there 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 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 guildrails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is otherwise called the Body of Christ which you are a member in particular 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 is loved, glorious, holy, without blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33].

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 every one 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.

CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“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.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“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.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“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 placOUmen 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 consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of 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 EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“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 forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

TO BE FREE FROM SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

By Leave a Comment

TO BE FREE FROM SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW IN GRACE!

“But GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).

There’s the NEED to intentionally GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE, if you MUST be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS and not being MISTAKENLY and TWISTED, to save you from that error and erroneous position, which leads to captivity and bondage.

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution and charge of Jesus Christ to the Sadducees, while on His earthly ministry –  He told the Sadducees of their being Scripturally twisted, in errors and being mistakenly in their analysis and conclusions of matters – and all these are simply because of their ignorance [lack of knowledge], making them a NEVER to be able to experience the knowledgeable POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.

** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of his in their twist, errors and mistaken intent as regards Apostle Paul’s writings – which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

“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.

FAITHFUL SAYINGS – FOR LIFE AND GODLY LIVING

FAITHFUL SAYINGS – FOR LIFE AND GODLY LIVING: UNDENIABLE VIRTUES – CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and APPOINT them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

Herein are some common sayings as well as some scriptural sayings, that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – about and through, in cause of doing life and godliness in times and in matters of CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED”

 – Arthur Friedman

** Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there.

** And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD. John 14:16-17; Romans 5:5.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH: YOU CAN ONLY BE MISTAKEN – FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

People are walking in errors, held captive and taken mistakenly in life because of not having a genuine KNOWLEDGE with the corresponding UNDERSTANDING of the matter in questions about them and those or things they care passionately about. That’s why living by SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION or PRESUMPTION is an error by every means of judgement in the affairs of DOING LIFE AND GODLY LIVING as a redeemed child of God.

It is ‘THE TRUTH’, only THE TRUTH not just TRUTH or a mere ‘FACT or SENTIMENT, ASSUMPTION’ or ‘PRESUMPTION’, that you Know, that sets you FREE in the Kingdom; and it’s the TRUTH that gives you the Liberation and genuine Freedom that you need to become a VICTOR and not a VICTIM or PREY. The TRUTH indicates a person, meaning the personality. Its presence in one’s life creates the being that sets free.

You need to know and understand full well that a mere FACT(S) can be photoshop or misconstrued and faked – counterfeited; and it’s also limited in divine nature and conscripts to ascertain matters; but THE TRUTH will deal with ONE’S CONSCIOUSNESS no matter HOW or WHAT or WHERE or WHEN in one’s spirit being to unveil or uncover that which only the invisible, authenticate WORD of God can reveal (Hebrews 4:12-13).

The TRUTH is self empowering. Bury the TRUTH, it will arise on the third day without any assistance to ANSWER any QUEST hidden, misconstrued, conspired or deleted.

Living continually by the TRUTH is made possible by the Holy Spirit of TRUTH. For the TRUTH is THE WORD who then is JESUS. He can’t live GENUINELY IN YOU and you still WALK in errors, deceit and compromise. And If you know you are in errors, deceit, compromise and such like, you NEED a wholesome check by God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit to set you free indeed. Then you CAN actually have a solid WORD-Based Foundation in Christ Jesus and continue STEADFASTLY on the WORD, which is the TRUTH to ensure your freedom and liberation in ALL things in the light of the Holy Writ.

It’s my utmost PRAYER today, that you might come to know THE TRUTH himself and obtain the liberation and freedom you need now and always in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my disciples INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:31-32.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will guide you into all TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come” John 16:13.

“For THE WORD OF GOD IS LIVING AND ACTIVE AND FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged [b]sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, and revealed to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 (Amplified).

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS: “The WORD” Became FLESH

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS: “The WORD” Became FLESH – HUMAN – And The ANSWER To Your QUEST And All MANKIND!

“. . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH . . . 17 For the LAW was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

This Christmas is all about “The WORD” that became FLESH – HUMAN, whose FULLNESS is of Grace and Truth. And an ANSWER to ALL our QUEST in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

The world today longs for GRACE and TRUTH in our society, which comes purely and can come only genuinely from “The WORD” that became flesh. God spoke “The WORD”, The WORD was received and born in human flesh – humanity. “The WORD” is Christ – the Messiah, Saviour, Deliverer – the REASON we do commemorate and celebrate this SEASON in this Christmas, in this December and for His REDEMPTION cause on earth to all mankind including you.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the MYSTERY of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the FLESH, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Faith on “The WORD” is all you need, to turn your TEST story to TESTIMONY, your SCARCITY to PLENTY, your FAILURE to SUCCESS, your MESS to MESSAGE,  your SETBACK to STEPPING STONE, your DISAPPOINTMENT to APPOINTMENT, the said SICKNESS and DISEASE to HEALING, HEALTH and WHOLENESS, and many more such like. In summary the ANSWER to your QUEST to have a meaningful, colourful, purposeful and fulfilling life is in the WORD – Jesus the Christ.

“The WORD” is Him – Christ Jesus personified, who is our Saviour King and Lord. He’s our Emmanuel – The God WITH us, IN us and FOR us; the God that DWELLS with us in everyway. “The WORD” is your witness, record and embodiment in heavens unity in Trinity to certify the divine purpose on earth.

Therefore, this CHRISTMAS, as you commemorate and celebrate “The WORD” through faith in Him, may your desire be made manifest in the flesh, that is, comes to reality and fruition; and becomes tangible, reachable, touchable, loveable, liveable, and incarnate.

The WORD is all you need to ANSWER that QUEST that has defiled everything mortal in your life and godly living.

I pray you every grace, blessing and speed in The WORD. Amen.

“For there are THREE that bear RECORD in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God.  2 The SAME was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made.  4 In HIM was LIFE; and the LIFE was the light of men.  5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH . . . 17 For the LAW was given by Moses, but GRACE and TRUTH came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 17.

“Beloved, BELIEVE not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many FALSE prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is come in the FLESH is of God: 3 and every spirit that CONFESSETH NOT that Jesus Christ is come in the FLESH is not of God: and this is that spirit of ANTICHRIST, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now ALREADY is it in the world” 1 John 4:1-3

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS: GOD SENT HIS WORD WITH A MISSION!

I make an emboldened stand, saying that God’s WORD, that was made manifest to us in the FLESH – Humanity – was sent to us intentionally. His WORD came for a mission, that’s to say, there was a PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for the Christmas story. And that makes it more than the shopping – for there’s a REASON for the SEASON.

The WORD that became HIM, that’s FLESH – HUMAN [HUMANITY], was sent to do two primary work:

** To HEAL the triune-man: spirit, soul and body. – (spiritual, physical, emotional, social, mental and such like).

** To SEEK, SAVE and DELIVER mankind from every act of destruction either as of sin, man-made, satanic and cohorts, and/or of natural causes thereby giving freedom from their effects, which are: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH.

“For the Son of man is COME to SEEK and to SAVE that which was LOST” Luke 19:10.

This Christmas, lay hold to your healing, Salvation and deliverance. Don’t just eat, drink and exchange gift and stop there, when there are cases that demands complete wholeness of healing and deliverance that’s hanging over you.

Take God by His WORD in faith, in this season of this Christmas, and receive your complete wholeness in – Healing, Salvation, Deliverance and such like – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And say therefore to you in – THIS CHRISTMAS – may you be HEALED and be WHOLE in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

I pray you have a glorious and gracious commemoration and celebration. I pray your Christmas would be whole, complete and not in part.
