CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]; IT’S ABOUT LIVING IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST!  

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God . . . 14 But the NATURAL MAN receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are FOOLISHNESS unto him: neither can he KNOW them, because they are SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. 15 But he that is SPIRITUAL JUDGE [EXAMINE] all things, yet he himself is JUDGED [EXAMINE] of no man. 16 For who hath KNOWN THE MIND of the Lord, that he may INSTRUCT him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” 1 Corinthians 2:9-16. 

When Apostle Paul was writing to the mixed multitude Corinthians Church that’s so gifted, as the scripture does indicates that thy lack not behind in spiritual gifting [1 Corinthians 1:7], and yet they were swimming with various vices; he then sensed of their lack of knowledge, and their inability to understand and comprehend spiritual things that they were endowed and endued with to function in the grace. For they were so gifted, but their inability to decipher the spiritual man from the natural man that has been reborn [redeemed] was concerning to him; and more so, they were filled with the Holy Spirit of revelation, which is for them to articulate the mind of God in wisdom – where wisdom is the application of knowledge. It thus means, being gifted without operating in wisdom to bring it forth into a reality  

In 1 Corinthians 2:1-8, he wrote to them as to us of today of the necessity to live by God’s wisdom if we must excel and be exceptional in living above the conscript of the princes of this world in their unwise way of not able to know the mind of God concerning the cross of human redemption until Christ Jesus by the rugged cross of crucifixion SAVED [REDEEMED] us. And in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10, he made known of how the Holy Spirit can reveal to us the mind of God on things about us that no eyes have seen, ears have not heard or neither has entered into the heart of any man knowingly, because of the love for God within us for Him. And Apostle Paul concluded, that by the virtue of our spiritual [reborn] disposition over the natural [unborn] dispositions, we have the MIND of Christ Jesus, to examine and make wise judgement in decisions in the grace over anything. That’s what makes the CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to take hold of us and make us walk in the wisdom of God that transcends and surpasses the wisdom of this world [1 Corinthians 2:1-8]. For Christ Jesus in us, is the wisdom of God and the power of God [1 Corinthians 1:18-24, 30] to enable us do life and live godly with God’s speed in His stead, in this present world. 

And it’s for the consciousness of making the day to day wise judgement as the reborn of God, we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 13:5-6, to always examine [make self judgement of] ourselves if we are still on track with the MIND of Christ Jesus in our day to day decision, as we do life and live in godliness – except we ARE reprobates [hardened, unexamined, unprincipled], but we ARE not reprobates as Believers of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“EXAMINE yourselves, whether ye be in the FAITH; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is IN you, except ye be REPROBATES? 6 But I trust that ye shall know that we ARE NOT REPROBATES” 2 Corinthians 13:5-6. 

And Apostle Paul was able to X-ray and charge the Philippians Church in Philippians 2:1-11, with a taste of what it means and takes to have the MIND of Christ Jesus in a different perspective and context from the Corinthians Church. He spoke to them and to us of the essence to cultivate – the spirit of consolation, of comfort, of fellowship, of mercies, of oneness, of one mind of humility of respect to esteem others and such like. He likened it to the MIND of Christ Jesus toward God while in humanity, that earned Him the exaltation of the Father God wherein for today and always for all eternity, that at the NAME of Jesus, His NAME becomes ANSWER to all human QUEST; and His NAME is above all names that all mankind must BOW and KNEE to at the mentioning of the name, as He earned from the Father God without controversy. What an attribute. What a priceless tag. What a life to live in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]. That’s what the MIND of Christ Jesus can reproduce in us as we walk in His mind context and default in us – for we have the mind of Christ Jesus as a default in the reborn spirit of our salvation. Make it a living consciousness for you and all about you that are reborn – the New Creation as written: 

“If there be therefore ANY CONSOLATION in Christ, if ANY COMFORT of love, if ANY FELLOWSHIP of the Spirit, if ANY BOWELS AND MERCIES, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be LIKEMINDED, having the same love, being of ONE ACCORD, of ONE MIND. 3. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in LOWLINESS OF MIND let each ESTEEM other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 LET THIS MIND BE IN YOU, WHICH WAS ALSO IN CHRIST JESUS: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly EXALTED Him, and GIVEN Him a NAME which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the GLORY of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

I therefore say to you to live in your onward and upward trajectory, in the consciousness of knowing that you have the MIND OF CHRIST JESUS, and you can by the indwelling Holy Spirit judge [examine] rightly all things by the scriptural default in context unlike the natural man [unborn] in Christ Jesus. Stop living in self-defeat as one who can’t make wise judgement on things and always beckoning on others to make private and personal decisions for you while being deceived always as a prey and victim for this agent of darkness. And it’s unfortunate that many have become vulnerable to a fault in many ways to such a crafty, cunning and devouring false brethren that have creeped in to steal, kill and destroy as many innocent ones in the faith as they are cohorts of satan that appears and camouflaged as brethren. 

Today, reboot your mind and reset it to synchronise your spirit being and be transformed by the WORD of God that can refresh and renew your mind to begin a new consciousness of having the Mind of Christ Jesus as a reborn child of God, that no man can deceive any more. This will help you to wisely ARTICULATE and PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God for your well-being as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, ACCEPTABLE unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, WILL of God” Romans 12:1-2. 

“That ye PUT OFF concerning the former CONVERSATION [CONDUCT] the old man, which is CORRUPT according to the deceitful lusts; 23 and be RENEWED in the spirit of YOUR MIND; 24 and that ye PUT ON the new man, which after God is CREATED in RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUE HOLINESS” Ephesians 4:22-24. 

I pray that you become what God’s WORD says you ARE and can be, without a shadow of turning, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. I want you to say it repeatedly until it begins to take hold of you by all means: “I HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST” in me.  

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV. 

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29. 

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27. 

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11. 

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed, is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15. 

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21. 

“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.

DEAR CHILD OF GOD

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT [WORLDLY, FLESHLY-RULED WAYS] – IRRESPECTIVE!

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you . . . 12 Then Isaac SOWED in that land, and RECEIVED in the same year an HUNDREDFOLD: and the Lord BLESSED him. 13 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. 16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we . . . 22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it REHOBOTH; and he said, For now the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be FRUITFUL in the land . . .” Genesis 26:1-35.

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE – ECONOMIC CRISIS – in your life, you need to know, you are a COVENANT child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of their ways [fleshly-ruled and bodily-ruled], as in the world systems as govern by satan and cohorts, in order for you to MAKE things easier in your doing life and to live godly. You don’t have to FAKE it until you MAKE it, because our God does not prosper distortion, adulteration and counterfeit and camouflage of deception . For by the deeds of the flesh [human strength] shall no man prevail with God in Christ Jesus stead [1 Samuel 2:7-9; Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13]. Take the Faith stand in the grace and inform yourself that you ARE in the world, but NOT of the world ways of doing life – and you are to live godly to prevail with God at the same. For you ARE of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

 Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is to say, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH places or CROOKED roads of your life can be overcome triumphantly. This is by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God  in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus on that subject MATTER concerning you; and this is based on your believe and faith on the WORD, as led by the Blessed Holy Spirit, in order to make and ensure your way to the PROSPERITY and GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you as in the holy writ Scriptures [Joshua 1:8-9; 3 John 1:2; Psalms 1:1-3]. God’s plan, purpose and pursuit is to ensure that in famine He gives the needed wisdom to excel, be satisfied and to stay above all odds and to sustain you and to prosper you by Himself in the midst of the challenging and changing times.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt LAUGH: neither shalt thou be AFRAID of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at PEACE with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the EYE of the Lord is UPON them that FEAR [REVERENCE] him, upon them that HOPE in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul WAITETH for the Lord: he is our HELP and our SHIELD” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord KNOWETH the days of the upright: and their INHERITANCE shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ASHAMED in the EVIL TIME: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he FALL, he shall not be UTTERLY cast down: for the Lord UPHOLDETH him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

Upon the knowledge and understanding in SCRIPTURAL context of God’s WORD to ENSURE you become in God in Christ Jesus, I can say to you today, to be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in the Scriptures [Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5].

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-16, EGYPT stands for one’s STATE of – unbelief, backsliding, famine, economic crisis, hunger, joblessness, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such like. And, as a child of God, it thus means, that you don’t need to FAKE it to make and achieve greatness in LIFE and GODLINESS. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE in God’s WORD and act upon it in the FAITH, and you will BECOME as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he acts on his covenant will of God’s WORD concerning him when the opportunity to act on God’s WORD shows up to deal with the economic crisis that almost bewildered him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the WORD of grace, and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up – then go and BECOME as you are LED of God by the Holy Spirit in His WORD accordingly [Genesis 26:12-16]. For in your good works, God knows and He’s not unrighteous or unfaithful or unthankful or ungrateful to forget and wants you to keep sure in diligence and not be slothful in business, but to be an imitator and followers of those who through faith inherits their promised BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For God is not unjust so as to FORGET your work and the love which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), AS YOU DO. 11 And we DESIRE for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the PROMISES” Hebrews  6:10-12/Amplified.

It’s wishes and PRAYERS for you today, that you may experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord APPEARED to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you. 3 Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will ESTABLISH and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED, 5 because Abraham LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” . . . 12 Then Isaac PLANTED [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and REAPED in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord BLESSED and FAVORED him. 13 And the man [Isaac] BECAME great and gained more and more until he BECAME very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he OWNED flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines ENVIED him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-16 Amplified.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!
 
“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9.
 
We ARE to being BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to being Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption.
 
“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.
 
The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demon’s today when they break away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centred, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts demon’s the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21; Revelation 12:3-4].
 
And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.
 
“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:26-3.
 
There are many today, who are out there that are satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about for their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens.
 
And if these sets of satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociates themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to can make them to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects – because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].
 
“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.
 
Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].
 
“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.
 
“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED [OVERLOOKED] at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.
 
Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.
 
Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousnesss and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].
 
Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]: IT’S ABOUT HAVING GOD’S APPROVAL AND NOT MEN’S APPLAUD [HYPER]!

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that He should be holden of it” Acts 2:22-24.

There’s nothing as dangerous as endeavouring to win favour outside the context of anything that has a stand – an ethics and etiquette – that worth priceless. As I have said in some writ, when you take a text out of a context, it becomes a con – and we all know when someone becomes a con person, con artist, conman and such like, we all will naturally distance ourselves from anyone who is already known to be a con in such spheres of doing life except you share in such person acts of behavioural bargains. If we can be able to distance ourselves, how much more when such it’s in conflict with God’s Scriptural CONTEXT and INSTRUCTIONS to our doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And God does not share His glory with mortal men in their hyper and applaud:

“And Herod was highly DISPLEASED with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with ONE ACCORD to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, SAT upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a SHOUT [APPLAUSE, HYPER], saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he GAVE not God the GLORY: and he was EATEN of worms, and gave up the GHOST [DIED]” Acts 12:20-23.

There are many out there who will do anything outside the book to get the applause that men can give them to enable them outdo and undo others – and you can see it in places of doing life – workspaces, factory, business transaction, family circles, Church leadership position, government Offices and other expected civic places that’s – nongovernmental and many such like. For this kind of behaviour, Apostle Paul warned, charged and exhorted young Bishop Timothy, to note that leadership position for example it’s not for self-gains and should not be taken lightly; and people should not for any human reasons on selfish applause be placed in places they are not qualified to be otherwise it will undermine God’s authority and misplaced priority in honouring and magnifying God’s WORD that’s above all things as God had done.

“I CHARGE thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the ELECT angels, that thou OBSERVE these things without PREFERRING one before another, doing nothing by PARTIALITY. 22 LAY HANDS SUDDENLY ON NO MAN, neither be PARTAKER of other MEN’S SINS: keep thyself PURE” 1 Timothy 5:21-22.

“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have EXALTED above all else Your NAME and Your WORD and You have MAGNIFIED Your WORD above all Your name!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.

It’s of this emboldened spirit of getting God’s APPROVAL in all things in context and not just on somethings, that Apostle Peter was speaking of our Lord Jesus Christ in Acts 2:22-24. He was giving an admonishment about our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ – who is the author and finisher of our faith [Hebrews 12:2], and who is our God’s given and living example in doing God’s kingdom business in our earthly affairs [Hebrews 1:1-4], and by whom we ARE God’s ambassador on earth – to note how He ensured that He RECEIVED God’s APPROVAL and not men APPLAUSE, to do God’s given purpose and assignments in humanity [Luke 2:1-2, 14, 16-18, 22]. Jesus Christ cause in humanity was always to get God’s APPROVAL [intent] in every step because He knows, it must always be of the FATHER’S WILL to be done and not MEN’S WILL for egotism, self-gratification and self-centeredness and such like.

“. . . 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear WITNESS of me . . . 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him” John 10:22-38.

Apostle Paul had in his keen interest for us to live through God’s approval and signature in all we do to fulfil purpose and life, in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE. He then charged the Believers of God as you and me and as to Timothy, to endeavour to STUDY, to enable us get God’s APPROVAL [SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT] to a cause, so that we can be able to rightly apply the word of God appropriately in all matters of doing life and living godly. And to be embroidered to stand up against the enemy and cohorts voices when they show up too. For pure wisdom to do life and live godly is the application of knowledge. And where there’s no knowledge of a thing, it’s not only that IGNORANCE WILL PREVAIL, people will ABUSE PURPOSE of the intended. People had abused their relationship [spouses, children, family, friendship] for the lack of knowledge to the cause and context; people had abused position of leadership and authority for lack of knowledge of the context; people do evil and wickedness as abusers to undermine others especially toward the vulnerable and such like because of the lack of the knowledge to the context of the cause; you can name lots of places abuse have taken place or happening right now because of the stupidity and foolishness born out of ignorance to a cause [purpose] – and it’s all for the lack of wisdom – application of knowledge to such cause.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING [APPLYING, HANDLING] the WORD of TRUTH” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.

God wants us to live a life of CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], to enable us be His true ambassador for Christ. And being God’s representative on earth [Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 115:15-18; Psalms 8:4-8; 2 Corinthians 5:20], is not limited to a particular person or nation but to all who intend to do God’s purpose in RIGHTEOUSNESS; meaning those who wants to get on His APPROVED context and not in men trying to use UNRIGHTEOUSNESS to get His APPROVAL for their APPLAUSE. For Gods glory is not to be shared with men. This is the caution and exhortations that Apostle Peter gives of God’s openness to all as He’s not a respecter of men; while Apostle Paul also in a different respective context gave a dire warning to the Believers who wants to be on God’s good book and purpose not to dare God, by using the unrighteousness cause of men to an approval and signature to get God’s righteous approved cause.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with Him” Acts 10:34-35.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven AGAINST ALL UNGODLINESS and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, who hold the TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 32 who KNOWING the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have PLEASURE in them that do them” Romans 1:18, 32.

Therefore, knowing the danger and wrath of working through men’s crazy approval cause to make you feel important and good while you know you are going to face God’s wrath, why not today, even now, resolved intentionally and pragmatically, to do God’s approved purpose in context unreservedly, by STUDYING the WORD of God like the Berea Christian of Acts 17:10-12 and by taking up Apostle Paul exhortation to Timothy as written in 1 Timothy 4:14-17. These will make you to walk in wisdom – rightly applying the word through knowledge.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto BEREA: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED; also of HONOURABLE women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast KNOWN the holy SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE TO MAKE THEE WISE unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT [MATURE, COMPLETE, WHOLE], throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17/Emphasis mine.

It’s my PRAYERS that you will not struggle in CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE], as you do life by ensuring and assuring God’s approval is what’s always in your top heartfelt without men’s approval to your being God’s true Ambassador for Christ.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; The valleys also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily” Colossians 1:27-29.

“Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ . . . 21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . 27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:6, 21, 27.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

“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.

LIVING IN CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]

By Leave a Comment

LIVING IN CHRISTLIKENESS [BEING CHRISTLIKE]: YOU MUST INTENTIONALLY DO AWAY WITH UNBELIEF!

“And to whom SWARE He that they should NOT ENTER into His REST, but to them that BELIEVED NOT? 19 So we see that they could NOT ENTER in because of UNBELIEF” Hebrews 3:18-19.

The good and faithful, true and sure God that we claim to serve acceptably and unreservedly and to worship worthily, in spirit and truth, is the same God that searches the hearts and thoughts of men to ensure that their motives are of a contrite and broken hearts [spirit] all the way. [Psalms 51:17; Psalms 34:18; Isaiah 62:2; Revelation 2:23; Jeremiah 17:10].

And because God does not share His glory with any, hence Lucifer that turns Satan the devil with the third stars call demons were all kicked out of heavens for such enabling thoughts and imagination and worse to have attempted to carry such impossible mission in God’s highly sanctified and consecrated throne of holiness and righteousness. [Ezekiel 28:11-19; Isaiah 14:12-19; Revelation 12:3-5]. God is a jealous God and won’t share His shekinah glory with a mere mortal in the flesh too just as He dealt with devil in the spirit for his complete negligence of the purity and sanctity of the heavenly.

It thus means that the thought of living a life of grace toward God in Christ Jesus with an unbelieving spirit it’s not permissible in the New Creation Church of Christ Jesus as it was not permitted in the Old Creation Church of the wilderness through Moses. [Hebrews 3:18-19; Hebrews 11:6; Romans 4:19-21; Mark 11:20-24]. Unbelief has no place and reckoning in the kingdom of God for any who seeks His heavenly intervention in their earthly affairs in Christ Jesus – it’s always repentance toward God and Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ [Acts 20:20-21]. It thus means that those who wants to have alternative plan A to plan Z as a rescue plan under God as they have an act of UNBELIEF of God’s enabling in all things that pertains to life and godliness [2 Peter 1:2-5; John 1:12], are living in self-deception and lying to themselves and cohorts. And nothing from God will answers to UNBELIEF state for any cause or context within the Kingdom provisions.

You can’t be set to live the CHRISTLIKENESS life of being CHRISTLIKE by the spirit of UNBELIEF toward God in Christ Jesus. The children of Israel of the Church in the wilderness under Moses, didn’t enter their place of rest in fulfilling God’s purpose for them meaningfully, because of UNBELIEF. An UNBELIEF toward God is worst than any measures of describing a cancerous condition. Thus, indicating that God does not accommodate those who live a double-minded attitude towards His WORD in any context. For such does not receive anything from God irrespective.

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall RECEIVE ANY THING of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is unstable in all his ways” James 1:5-8.

“And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall NOT DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:20-24.

It’s impossible to receive anything of God through UNBELIEVE. For God only reward only the act of Faith toward Him in Christ Jesus. And Faith is the de facto of God to be victorious on the earth and be heavenly connected without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. For while we may live in the flesh, our life battle are of faith. We fight the fight of faith. God is of Faith and not of the flesh where unbelief dwell [Hebrews 11:6; 1 John 5:4-5; 2 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Timothy 6:12.].

Do you want a pure rest with God in Christ Jesus in order to obtain your full salvation rights and privileges in redemption? You have to live by the WORD OF FAITH and not that of UNBELIEF. [Romans 10:8-10, 17; Hebrews 6:10-12; Romans 14:23 (Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:12; Romans 1:16-17; Habakkuk 2:4)]. Unbelief toward God in Christ Jesus is a self set denial from any good and goodness of God. You can’t serve God with haphazard attitude – you either stick to God fully in His faithfulness or walk away with the default of disappointment that’s set on the place of UNBELIEF [Hebrews 10:23, 35-39].

Therefore, know that in living the CHRISTLIKENESS [being CHRISTLIKE], there’s no place for self-deception and self-gratification through double mindedness toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Any of such that’s contrary to faith toward God is considered an enemy of God which could be any of these:

* The Enemy WITHIN – The Flesh [five senses – hear, see, feel, taste and touch (feel)].

* The Enemy you SEE – The world [and it’s systems].

* The Enemy we KNOW – Satan and cohorts [demons].

* The Enemy we DO – Religion [found through denomination, sectarianism and such like].

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you walk by faith and not in unbelief toward God [you can search through in many of my writs on faith] to help you learn to walk by faith toward God in Christ Jesus, so that you can find fulfilment and have a meaningful purpose in your doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, 2 fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:1-11.

“Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh. 4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 10 that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 11 if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you” Philippians 3:1-15.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

“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.

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you . . .” Genesis 26:1-16.

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE – ECONOMIC CRISIS – in your life, you need to know, you are a COVENANT child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of their ways as in the world systems as govern by satan and cohorts, in order for you to MAKE things easier in your doing life and to live godly. Inform yourself that you ARE in the world, but NOT of the world ways of doing life to live godly at the same. For you ARE of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

 Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is to say, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH places or CROOKED roads of your life can be overcome triumphantly. This is by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God  in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus on that subject MATTER concerning you; and this is based on your believe and faith on the WORD, as led by the Blessed Holy Spirit, in order to make and ensure your way to the PROSPERITY and GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you – Joshua 1:8-9; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; Psalms 1:1-3.

Upon the knowledge and understanding in SCRIPTURAL context of God’s WORD to ENSURE you become in God in Christ Jesus, I can say to you today, to be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-16, EGYPT stands for one’s STATE of – unbelief, backsliding, famine, economic crisis, hunger, joblessness, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such like. And, as a child of God, it thus means, that you don’t need to FAKE it to make and achieve greatness in LIFE and GODLINESS. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE in God’s WORD and act upon it in the FAITH, and you will BECOME as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God’s WORD concerning him when the opportunity to act on God’s WORD shows up to deal with the economic crisis that almost bewildered him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the WORD of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up – then go and BECOME as you are LED of God by the Holy Spirit in His WORD accordingly – Genesis 26:12-16.

It’s wishes and PRAYERS for you today, that you may experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord APPEARED to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you. 3 Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will ESTABLISH and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED, 5 because Abraham LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” . . . 12 Then Isaac PLANTED [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and REAPED in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord BLESSED and FAVORED him. 13 And the man [Isaac] BECAME great and gained more and more until he BECAME very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he OWNED flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines ENVIED him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-16 Amplified.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE: BUT THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE WHILE YOU ARE WITHIN AND STILL IN THE FAITH!

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:9.

We ARE to being BLESSED when we BELIEVE in THE FAITH; meaning it’s possible not to being Blessed when you walk out of the threshold of God’s word in THE FAITH, wherein the blessedness of God is justified to give access in the context. Indeed in Christ Jesus, you can become what you believe, but that’s only possible while you ARE still IN THE FAITH. The context IN THE FAITH, is not about having faith but about having a grandstand in the redemption of God in Christ Jesus stead, which is irrespective and without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation in redemption.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH INTO THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

The devil, the satan, once upon a time was within the threshold of God’s word and he prospered along with the one third [1/3] angels [stars] that are classed cohorts demon’s today when they break away from the blessedness of God’s word IN THE FAITH by their own selfishness and self-centred, pride and arrogance which they put forth to stand against God’s authority and His Word. Hence, though satan and the devils may BELIEVE, that doesn’t offer him and cohorts demon’s the access and justification that redemption offers, hence he TREMBLES though he BELIEVES. However, he also BELIEVES in the authoritative truth of God’s word and the eternal judgement and condemnation that makes up his eternal damnation as in the holy writ. [Ezekiel 28:11-28; Isaiah 14:12-21; Revelation 12:3-4].

And in the same like spirit, the essence to BELIEVE that makes one to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is not in activation for those who have chosen to intentionally and willingly thrash their grandstands IN THE FAITH and are out there to make a sheep wrecking of the WORD of God and the redemption grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ and such like, because of the same-like arrogance, pride and behavioural mannerism as exhibited by satan the devils for which they were thrown out of the throne [presence] of God in the heavens.

“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we have received the KNOWLEDGE of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain FEARFUL [TREMBLING] looking for of judgment and FIERY indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 of how much SORER punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath TRODDEN under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the BLOOD of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an UNHOLY thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will RECOMPENSE, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:26-3.

There are many today, who are out there that are satan and devils cohorts PERVERT in the flesh and are in the devilish business of PERVERTING the Gospel at their own detriments. These sets of people are lovers of themselves, who preach the gospel without believing in it because it’s all a game for them because it’s all about for their own bellies, to disrupt the truth, create contentions, schisms, chaos, falsehoods, adulteration and such like, in order to ensure that they populate hell against the populating of the heavens.

And if these sets of satan and devils cohorts don’t repent and dissociates themselves in order to believe again for their deliverance and restoration, they will end up overstepping their opportunity of the redemption threshold and the impossible reversal of their cause, knowingly and unknowingly – meaning that the opportune time to BELIEVE to can make them to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS will be out of reach for them in all respects – because God can’t be mocked and gives no permission to any to break His word in arrogance and pride and wickedness. [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].

“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.

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

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.

Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousnesss and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].

Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“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.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

[Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 6:1-8].

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

Therefore, I PLEAD with you and all who likes to FOLLOW and IMITATE after people that you considered that they ARE of God, it’s time to take a purse, check through the tenet [statement] of faith that the one you looked up to actually holds steadfastly to, so that you may not be caught up with the bait that they are holding unto that’s not of God. So was it in the city of Samaria’ as happens in Acts 8:9-25 [1-25], wherein a great one as called who is named and called Simon, who by sorcery was considered a great man of God and followed and looked up to by the entire city, while he was a satan and devils cohorts in the City. Such person that robs others of the truth because he doesn’t have it not and can’t believe it; and couldn’t offer repentance toward God and faith in the Christ Jesus in essence for their faith stead to eternal redemption, because of the sorcery craft which only offers to their detriment the eternal damnation. Thanks to God he finds an opportunity to repentance, which you can now before you are out of the threshold of obtaining it. [Acts 20:20-21; Acts 17:30-31; Mark 3:28-30; Hebrews 9:11-12, John 3:16-18].

“Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and BLASPHEMIES wherewith soever they shall BLASPHEME: 29 but he that shall BLASPHEME AGAINST the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of ETERNAL DAMNATION: 30 Because they said, He hath an unclean spirit” Mark 3:28-30.

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

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION for us . . . 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the REDEMPTION of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of ETERNAL inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator” Hebrews 9:11-16.

Considering the writs that I have been given grace to make available on this subjects of BELIEVE in order to become in God’s BLESSEDNESS, you can see with me that – you can only BECOME what you BELIEVE in God’s BLESSEDNESS, when and whilst you are still in the faith of our God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the only stand to being justified and to have access in the grace to take a redemption stand that gives leverage to our BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

Suffix to say that just as Satan the devils though BELIEVES today but yet TREMBLES in fear because his judgement is done, so are many whose intents are still not toward REPENTANCE but are of pride, arrogance to do God and be God toward others as Satan did and now set in eternal damnation. And God in graciousness and gracefulness, abhors, resist and detest signs and intents of pride, arrogance and such like, by throwing Satan the devils away out of His BLESSEDNESS, will keep to His divinity to do same to any who walks away from their threshold to believe alright. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:5-10; James 4:6-10].

Therefore I say to you my friend there, that while it’s yet called today and now, check up on WHAT YOU BELIEVE and WHOM YOU BELIEVE, in order to ensure and be assured that your BELIEVING gives you the justification and access to take and have a stand in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead in the faith. Amen.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

DEAR CHILD OF GOD: DON’T GO DOWN TO EGYPT!

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord appeared to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you . . .” Genesis 26:1-16.

No matter how DEADEN and DARKEN your situation or circumstances are, or the FAMINE – ECONOMIC CRISIS – in your life, you need to know, you are a COVENANT child and you don’t need to be bewildered to let anything make you GO DOWN TO EGYPT or learn of their ways as in the world systems as govern by Satan and cohorts, in order for you to MAKE things easier in your doing life and to live godly. Inform yourself that you ARE in the world, but NOT of the world ways of doing life to live godly at the same. For you ARE of God and the GREATER GOD lives in you as it’s written:

“YOU ARE OF GOD, little children, and have OVERCOME them: BECAUSE GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD. 5 THEY ARE OF THE WORLD: therefore speak they of the WORLD, and the WORLD heareth them. 6 WE ARE OF GOD: he that KNOWETH God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

 Therefore, by the enabling GRACE and the POWER of the GREATER one inside you, you can confront your situation, that is to say, that MOUNTAIN or VALLEY or ROUGH places or CROOKED roads of your life can be overcome triumphantly. This is by pondering on God’s WORD – that is, MEDITATING, on the covenant WILL of God  in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus on that subject MATTER concerning you; and this is based on your believe and faith on the WORD, as led by the Blessed Holy Spirit, in order to make and ensure your way to the PROSPERITY and GOOD SUCCESS in God’s PURPOSE for you – Joshua 1:8-9; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; Psalms 1:1-3.

Upon the knowledge and understanding in SCRIPTURAL context of God’s WORD to ENSURE you become in God in Christ Jesus, I can say to you today, to be STRONG and very COURAGEOUS in the Lord because your VICTORY and TRIUMPH is a certainty. It is your right in grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as says in Joshua 1:1-9 and Isaiah 40:3-5 and 1 John 5:3-5.

In the scriptural context of Genesis 26:1-16, EGYPT stands for one’s STATE of – unbelief, backsliding, famine, economic crisis, hunger, joblessness, hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness, setbacks, failures, pain, hurt, depression, the unbeliever acts of doing life and such like. And, as a child of God, it thus means, that you don’t need to FAKE it to make and achieve greatness in LIFE and GODLINESS. Therefore, DARE TO BELIEVE in God’s WORD and act upon it in the FAITH, and you will BECOME as the covenant Isaac BECAME when he act on his covenant will of God’s WORD concerning him when the opportunity to act on God’s WORD shows up to deal with the economic crisis that almost bewildered him.

If you are on the RED LIGHT of life, please stop and take a purse, take time to ponder on the WORD of grace and patiently wait through the AMBER LIGHT until the GREEN LIGHT of FAITH shows up – then go and BECOME as you are LED of God by the Holy Spirit in His WORD accordingly – Genesis 26:12-16.

It’s wishes and PRAYERS for you today, that you may experience the BLESSEDNESS of God in times of your challenges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to Give The Light Of The Knowledge of the glory of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

“Now there was a FAMINE (ECONOMIC CRISIS) in the land [of Canaan], besides the previous FAMINE that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines. 2 The Lord APPEARED to him and said, “DO NOT GO DOWN TO EGYPT; stay in the land of which I will tell you. 3 Live temporarily [as a resident] in this land and I will be with you and will BLESS and FAVOR you, for I will give all these lands to you and to your descendants, and I will ESTABLISH and carry out the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. 4 I will make your descendants MULTIPLY as the stars of the heavens, and will give to your descendants all these lands; and by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be BLESSED, 5 because Abraham LISTENED to and OBEYED My voice and [consistently] kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.” . . . 12 Then Isaac PLANTED [seed] in that land [as a farmer] and REAPED in the same year a hundred times [as much as he had planted], and the Lord BLESSED and FAVORED him. 13 And the man [Isaac] BECAME great and gained more and more until he BECAME very wealthy and extremely distinguished; 14 he OWNED flocks and herds and a great household [with a number of servants], and the Philistines ENVIED him. 15 Now all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines stopped up by filling them with dirt. 16 Then Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from here, because you are far too powerful for us.” 17 So Isaac left that region and camped in the Valley of Gerar, and settled there” Genesis 26:1-5, 12-16 Amplified.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to HIS WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

“BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. 7 Only be thou STRONG AND VERY COURAGEOUS, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. 8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. 9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” Joshua 1:6-9.

“He shall DELIVER thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 20 IN FAMINE HE SHALL REDEEM THEE FROM DEATH: AND IN WAR FROM THE POWER OF THE SWORD. 21 Thou shalt be HID from the SCOURGE of the TONGUE: neither shalt thou be AFRAID OF DESTRUCTION when it cometh.  22 At DESTRUCTION and FAMINE thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the BEASTS of the earth. 23 For thou shalt be in LEAGUE with the stones of the field: and the BEASTS of the field shall be at peace with thee” Job 5:19-23.

“Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy; 19 to DELIVER their soul from death, and to keep them ALIVE IN FAMINE. 20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield” Psalms 33:18-20.

“. . . The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be forever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: AND IN THE DAYS OF FAMINE THEY SHALL BE SATISFIED . . . 23 The STEPS OF A GOOD MAN ARE ORDERED BY THE LORD: AND HE DELIGHTETH IN HIS WAY. 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand” Psalms 37:18-19, 23-24.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the WILDERNESS, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, MAKE STRAIGHT IN THE DESERT A HIGHWAY for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and ALL FLESH shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.
