IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS! 

Beloved of God, it’s imperative that in your redemption deed of rights, you ensure you possess your possession, living godly in Christ Jesus stead. This happens when your faith communicates effectively to life’s matters – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine.. 

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God. 

There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it to make it a reality for you. 

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible: 

  • FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him; 
  • And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written: 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine). 

Until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE REDEMPTION’s essence in you, your FAITH COMMUNICATION to life matters will struggle, feel strange, tasking, and burdensome – contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJA’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians, despite their efforts in Church, fasting, prayers, traditions. But this OUGHT not to be so in Christ, REDEMPTION’s essence should impact EVERY AREA of life. 

You APPROPRIATE and ENACT through PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of what God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD via the HOLY SPIRIT. 

Here are REASONS to seek KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION: 

  • That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32. 
  • That knowledge will deliver you from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29. 
  • That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32. 
  • That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6. 
  • That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.  
  • That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.  
  • That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33. 
  • That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15. 
  • That age is not equal to knowledge and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9. 
  • If your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.  
  • When you add a little MORE knowledge to your daily life, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18. 
  • That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6. 
  • That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15. 
  • That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32. 
  • That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18. 
  • That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24. 
  • That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.  
  • And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis mine). 

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

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

“But 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. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Hebrews 6:10-12; Obadiah 1:17; Deuteronomy 1:6-8; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29; Genesis 12:1-3. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of understanding and appropriating one’s redemption in Christ Jesus. It encourages believers to move beyond mere confession and tradition, and instead, grasp the reality of their redemption through personal knowledge and understanding of God’s Word. 

Key points include: 

  • Believers have a Deed of Rights in Redemption but must ensure they possess their possession in Christ. 
  • Effective faith communication is key to enacting redemption’s essence in life. 
  • Ignorance of God’s Word and promises can lead to a burdensome Christian life, while knowledge and understanding bring freedom and dominion.  
  • Reasons to seek knowledge and understanding include: 
  • Freedom from scriptural errors and life’s challenges (Matthew 22:29) 
  • Dominion in life (Daniel 11:32) 
  • Power, freedom, and dominion (John 8:32, Luke 11:52) 
  • Goodness and mercy (Proverbs 1:22, 29-33) 
  • Heaven’s favor (Proverbs 13:15, Hosea 4:6, Isaiah 5:13-15) 
  • Updated thoughts and a better life (Proverbs 24:5, Proverbs 4:18)  

The message encourages believers to prioritise knowledge and understanding of God’s Word, acknowledging their redemption rights, and communicating faith effectively to experience the reality of redemption in every area of life. 

Scriptural references support the importance of knowledge, faith, and understanding in experiencing redemption essence.

And until you ENSURE, ENACT, and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in you, the COMMUNICATING your FAITH in Christ to life matters will be a struggle, strange, tasking, and burdensome –  contrary to 1 John 5:3. That’s why there are many ‘Amen’, ‘Hallelujah’ and ‘Bless me’ Christians despite their efforts in the Church, fasting, prayers and religious practices to make REDEMPTION’s essence real in EVERY AREAS of life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

Key points include: 

  • Your name is engraved in the Bill of Rights in Redemption, but you must ask, seek, and knock to make it a reality. 
  • Redemption is made possible by acknowledging your rights and privileges in the Kingdom (a done deed by Christ) and understanding how to communicate your faith in life matters. 
  • Without this understanding, communicating faith can be a struggle, tasking, and burdensome, contrary to 1 John 5:3. 
  • Personal knowledge and understanding of redemption are crucial to appropriating and enacting it in your life. 
  • The message lists reasons to seek knowledge and understanding of God’s done deed in Christ, including freedom, dominion, power, and effectiveness in life.

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION

IT’S TIMELESS TIMES – SUCH A TIME AS THIS GENERATION: DON’T BE IN A DESPONDENT STATE – SEEK A FRIEND, PASTOR, COUNSELOR! 

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS, they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22. 

It’s TIMELESS TIMES with many reasons to be in a DESPONDENT state – an UNHEALTHY state. But in a time like this, you don’t have to be in a DESPONDENT state. To have leverage and move into an onward and upward trajectory with God in Christ Jesus, it’s time to crave, seek, pursue and follow the path that gives you the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING you need through counselling.  That way, you can thrive and move onward and upward, out of the darkness that has bewildered you. Know this truth: there’s light of God shining out of the midst of the dark, by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.  

“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. 

More so, you can get help through finding [and confiding on] a reliable and trusted FRIEND, PASTOR and COUNSELOR to help you out of any of the dark and darkness in whatever form of DESPONDENCY into the light of life in Christ Jesus stead; and by such wisdom nugget counsel, you can thrive and live again in God’s grace, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“A man that hath friends must SHEW himself FRIENDLY: and there is a friend that STICKETH CLOSER than a brother” Proverbs 18:24. 

It’s always good and healthy for me to take time – one –on- one – to share life matters with a gracious person, a TRUSTED Sister, friend, or confidant, in a relaxed and leisurely moment, without prejudice, sentiments, or pretence. And you can find one and keep it alive, refreshing, rejuvenating, rekindling and ongoing while it lasts, like I do. Life is good and enriching with God, having one good, God reverential fearing Friend, Pastor, or Counselor – at least one you can rely on and trust without shame or fear. Someone you can also be honest and open-hearted with, share with, even in tears over a shameful fault, without being judged. That will help you and give you the enabling gracious path you need to thrive again and fulfil the God-given and God-driven-purpose being affected by your current despondent state.  

“Without COUNSEL PURPOSES ARE DISAPPOINTED: but in the MULTITUDE of COUNSELLORS, they are ESTABLISHED” Proverbs 15:22. 

It’s true there may have been many disappointing friends, pastors, or counselors to TRUST and RELY ON, but I know you can still find one TRUSTED one among many- as you ensure you are TRUSTWORTHY too, in expecting the same from OTHERS. And you can find one today, that can BOOST your FAITH, HOPE and LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, no matter how bad it seems; this is only possible if you can make an effort to reach out to them without shame, pride and arrogance, rather than staying in a state of being DESPONDENT about life generally – for there’s a gracious opportunity out there under God, to give you the leverage you need for an onward and upward trajectory in doing life and loving godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine HEART, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15. 

Just as we seek after trusted Pastor’s and friends, to FEED us without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, it’s important to ensure that such counsel and counselling of help is built on the PRINCIPLE of rightful knowledge and understanding in God’s Word to authenticate your redemption in Christ Jesus – this is to enable you do life in the grace, effectually and efficiently; hence, you must endeavour to get a trusted, and God reverential fearing FRIEND – PASTOR – COUNSELOR, that won’t market you for their selfish, self-centredness and self-gratification, while on your part, you can be HONEST enough to detail matters even to a fault and feel safe in every way in LIFE and GRACE. 

Although it may be rare to get a trusted, honest, and God reverential fearing person, they ARE there – people of goodwill and love of God in Christ Jesus stead. When you take a step of faith, acting by the Holy Spirit within you for direction, don’t stay STUCK or sit STATIC in life and suffer when there’e help out there for your good and wellbeing. God has more to do in and through you than you can imagine in your LONE or LONELY path or self-defeat position. No matter how bad things are today, cornering you to a despondent state, always remember this scriptural thought: 

“. . . 16 for a just [justified, righteous] man FALLETH seven times, and RISETH up again . . .” Proverbs 24:15-18/Emphasis Mine.  

It’s time to BELIEVE again in order to create, innovate, initiate and explore God’s given opportunities and endowments out there. Get a trusted and faithful friend, Pastor, or counselor, that you can sit together and share your hearts without shame, fear and prejudice even if it’s to a fault by being honest to yourself, to God, and to your counselor.  

There’s hope in God. There’s a miracle. God is faithful, true, and sure. His gift and callings are without repentance [irrevocable] except you refuse God’s enabling opportunity in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. I know it, hence I challenge you today – don’t give up due to one mistake, failure, or moment that went very badly directly or indirectly by you. In God, there’s a rising up again. DON’T BE A LONER WHERE THERE’S OPPORTUNITY AND HOPE IN CHRIST JESUS! 

May you find a reason to rise again today. God loves and cares about you, even so, do so in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

READ BEFORE YOU RUN: WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE! 

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

Don’t be fooled. Ignorance is destructive, cancerous and killing. Knowledge delivers and emancipates. Understanding gives direction and drive. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. 

” Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV. 

“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12. 

A person of wisdom is given to life and strength; given to time, opportunity and right judgement. Wisdom is the principal thing. Ensure you get understanding while in all your search for knowledge. 

“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7. 

As wisdom is the application of knowledge, so a man’s wisdom makes him to shine, radiates in glory and boldness without fear; much more, there is no room to feel evil when you know you are wisely living by the commandment of our God in Christ Jesus stead. And you can discern by such knowledge wisely, then utilises the informed acquisition to redeem the time and make judgement of a context irrespective, and without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. Wisdom to direct is a consequence of knowledge and understanding, and it makes one work smartly, networks gracefully and do life effortlessly, and achieve in quality and quantity with speed and accuracy. 

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the INTERPRETATION of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to SHINE, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso KEEPETH THE COMMANDMENT shall FEEL no EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5. 

“If the axe is dull and he does not sharpen its edge, then he must exert more strength; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him succeed [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified 

Therefore, READ BEFORE YOU RUN, so that you can make the right decision and maximise your given potential to fulfil purpose meaningfully with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE:

By Leave a Comment

THE DANGER OF SCRIPTURAL IGNORANCE: IT LEADS ONE TO ERRORS, TO BECOME MISTAKEN AND TO BE ELUDED FROM THE POWER OF GOD!

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION [GATHERING] of the DEAD [UNPRODUCTIVE, TASKMASTER, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD]” Proverbs 21:16.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but THE WAY of TRANSGRESSORS [DISOBEDIENT, ARROGANT] is HARD (DIFFICULT, FRUSTRATING, CHALLENGING)” Proverbs 13:15.

Our Father God does not contain ignorance, the masterpiece of stupidity and foolishness and arrogance, especially in the midst of every opportunity to earn knowledge. Wisdom to do life and become in the grace, comes through knowledge and understanding. Playing the game of ignorance, takes no one along with God. God WINKS at ignorant people, especially when there’s every opportunity and possibility and signs indicating to ask to know and enquire the understanding to enable one excel in life and grace.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT  [CHANGE]: 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.

Jesus Christ our saviour and Lord didn’t increase in wisdom, statue and in favour with Father God and man, by a mere wish, but took early time of His humanity to sit to know and understand by being in places to ask questions and get answers to be in understanding, in order to fulfil purpose meaningfully in Father God’s BUSINESS  [ASSIGNMENT] concerning Him. And why can’t you too, seek after knowing and understanding in context the matter of life and godliness, in order to ensure an assured content in the grace. So, get out of the erroneous and mistaken path due to ignorance and get into the path of knowledge and understanding in context; in order to be fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace wherein you are called in content.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING in the midst of the DOCTORS [TEACHERS], both HEARING them, and ASKING them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and answers. . . . 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them . . . 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2: 46-52.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10].

Avoid ignorance by every means. It’s dangerous and the sides effects and consequences it’s unimaginable. Ensure in every subject you endeavour to know and understand the context and possibly contents in order to avoid – erroneous position, become mistaken and misconstrued, and eluded from the power of God – meaning, the enabling of God’s grace for such context to be made revealing and manifesting for your good and BLESSEDNESS.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

Ignorance hurts and hunts. It makes one stupid and foolish. It frustrates one’s efforts. It keeps one away from the good of God – for God winks at ignorance. Ignorance subjugates. It enslaves. It captivates. It’s destructive. The sides effects it’s innumerable and unimaginable and never a wish for any – therefore don’t even imagine it or allow it plays around you and within your domain at any given moment. PURSUE to ENSURE knowledge and understanding always in order to stay safe.

“A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE INCREASETH STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

For God is FAITHFUL and rewarding Father God, who cherished achieving and accomplishing anything through process which is a consequence of knowledge and understanding. For wisdom to succeed in excellence is the application of knowledge, unlike ignorance whose effects it’s to be slothful [sluggard] and unproductive. For whatever has no process of accomplishments is a fraud and a scam in context and content. God wants you to be a follower of Him and those who do life and godliness, through knowledge and understanding of the scriptural context to ensure an assured content.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNGRATEFUL, UNFAITHFUL] to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through faith and patience INHERIT [ACCOMPLISH, ACHIEVE] the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

“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.

IT PAYS TO PATIENTLY STRIFE FOR KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING THAN TO STAY IN IGNORANCE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERISTICS OF STUPIDITY AND FOOLISHNESS, SLOTHFULNESS AND SLUGGISHNESS THAT IT BRINGS – UNPRODUCTIVE IN CONTEXT AND CONTENT.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASE [UN-EASE] place and position that is worst than cancerous disease of any sorts. For by IGNORANCE many talents, vision and dreams that would have enhance life and godly living in uplifting and placing people and persons’ in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, has landed and ended such in the GRAVEYARDS – unfulfilled, unsung, unproductive, unwritten, unaccomplished and such like.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK [REFLECT]!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, NOR THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR [ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at [OVERLOOKED]; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT  [CHANGE]: 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.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: AND HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE NOT GRIEVOUS [DIFFICULT, TASKMASTER, BURDENSOME, IRKSOME]” 1 John 5:3 Emphasis Mine.

“And now, BRETHREN, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED [UNIQUELY SET APART]” Acts 20:32.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast FORGOTTEN the law of thy God, I will also FORGET thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore, MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore HELL hath ENLARGED herself and OPENED her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled: 16 but the Lord of hosts shall be EXALTED in judgment, and God that is holy shall be SANCTIFIED in righteousness” Isaiah 5:13-16.

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING: A KEY TO ENACT AND AUTHENTICATE YOU IN LIVING AND DOING LIFE WISELY!

A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH” Proverbs 24:5.

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely – any where, any day and any time.

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” (Proverbs 4:7).

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 for the Spirit of understandable knowledge in the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – in order to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to no where until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened  and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYERLINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVES FAVOUR: but the way of transgressors (ignorance) is hard (difficult, rough)’’ Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis mine).

“The man that WANDERS OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead (unproductive, ignorant and unwise people)” (Proverbs 21:6 (Emphasis mine)

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Further Scriptural Reading In Context: Ephesians 1:15-23.

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE

By 1 Comment

WISDOM – THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE – IS THE CONTEXT IN DOING LIFE:THE PLACE FOR – ZEAL [PASSION], KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING IN FULFILLING LIFE PURPOSE!

“If the IRON BE BLUNT, and he do not WHET THE EDGE, then must he put to MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

Wisdom is PROFITABLE to direct when one sharpens ones life by knowledge, for godly wisdom is the application of godly knowledge, and godly knowledge which is a consequence of godly information [of being informed], when rightly applied in the understanding of the context in question, thereby gives godly direction. For an informed wisdom person makes informed wise judgment and decisions and feels no evil or imagine evil or think evil in times and in judgement [decision].

“Who is as the WISE man? and who KNOWETH the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall FEEL NO EVIL thing: and a WISE man’s heart discerneth both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.
 
Therefore, I want you to SELAH for some moments before proceeding further. For SELAH is to PAUSE and THINK, probably over the header, the content and the context as you read along. And godly wisdom, the application of godly knowledge is the essence of grace and virtue in all that pertains to doing earthly life and living godly toward the heavenly cause, by God’s divine enabling nature and power for the believing one in Christ Jesus stead. So, pause and think as it’s written:
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to GLORY and VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4.
 
Know for sure and certain, that, while there is time to SOAR in DOMINION, there is a Place of PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING in life, that worth a proper comprehension, in order to FULFILL PURPOSE meaningfully in the wisdom of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. You need to have the perspective of each context respectively in order to apply your heart in the path of wisdom. For wisdom is the principal principle for your well-being to ensure your God’s given BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead is profitable as written:
 
“If the AXE is DULL and he does NOT SHARPEN its EDGE, then he must EXERT MORE STRENGTH; but WISDOM [to sharpen the axe] helps him SUCCEED [with less effort]” Ecclesiastes 10:10/Amplified.
 
LET US CONSIDER THE CONTEXT OF – PASSION (ZEAL), KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – IN THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATIVE PERSPECTIVE TO WISDOM:
 
THE CONCEPT OF PASSION:
Passion, meaning Zeal, is a strong feeling or being intensely emotional about something – and it’s a vitality to our life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. However, a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.
 
Our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity was full of COMPASSION (PASSIONATE) in all His ways of doing life to sort out human needs. Matthew 15:32; Hebrews 5:1-10.
 
Although it’s possible to be passionate about something without compassion but you can’t have compassion without being passionate to seeing the passion through. It thus also means, being passionate about something with compassion as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more – can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply for this:
 
“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

THE CONCEPT OF KNOWLEDGE:
KNOWLEDGE, is the information we feed into our; being that defines our response to Various matters in our doing life and living godly. And knowledge in context is not very muchly appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE – leading to stupidity and fooolishness. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.
 
One of the great high Priestley PRAYERS of Jesus Christ while in humanity was for us to KNOW the the father God John 17:3; and was so concern about those that believes in Him to KNOW the TRUTH also – John 8:30-32; and He equally challenge the religious sectarians and bigots of His days to KNOW the scriptures in order for them to KNOW the power of God accordingly otherwise they will keep living a mistaken and erroneous life – Matthew 22:29.
 
It thus means that the KNOWING of the context of a thing is important to evade ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness and erroneous transmission of information. However, as good and importance as KNOWLEDGE is, it’s not enough to get stalled in knowledge, there’s the need for an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. For a mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed up – meaning it breeds PRIDE and ARROGANCE – and it’s a dangerous place to be before God in all ramifications, because God resist the PROUD and ARROGANT in all totality – James 4:5-7; Proverbs 15:25; Proverbs 16:5. Hence, to safeguard pride and arrogance that a mere having ONLY knowledge does result, be wise to add UNDERSTANDING to KNOWLEDGE as in this scriptural context of admonition:
 
“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).
 
THE CONCEPT OF UNDERSTANDING:
The UNDERSTANDING of what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for doing the life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.
 
Until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to attain a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILLING lifestyle, in our cause of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Our Lord Jesus have to ask two people He met on the way after His resurrection while at walk with them if they understand what they were discussing as they walk along even though they knew the scriptural context of what they were discussing on the road to Emmaus. And since they know the context but don’t understand the context, He then expanded the scriptures to their understanding and their spiritual eyes was illuminated and enlightened – Luke 24:1-27.
 
Hence, there’s the need to get UNDERSTANDING to help us make right decision which is wisdom, the bedrock and hallmark to living victoriously as enjoined:
 
“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore GET wisdom: and with all the GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).
 
In summary, you can now come to terms that – when you measure your passionate life as expected of you to have as a living being in any field of doing life with knowledge – and you enhance that knowledge with the understanding in context to the matter of life – there’s no force on earth that can stop you in any endeavour no matter how long it takes to deal with the circumstances in the context of time. Be wise to walk in WISDOM – PASSIONATE KNOWING (KNOWLEDGE) + UNDERSTANDING, for it makes you a winner, victor, overcomer, triumphant and a more than conquerors in the battle field of life – any day, any time and any where.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
