TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT: DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“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. 

I learnt early in my Christian walk in Christ Jesus stead, by the various factors and happenings and challenges that came my way that VICTORY and TRIUMPH is possible in Christ, when I hold on to my FAITH in the context of the Scriptures, because FAITH goes killing GIANTS when all things comes to a HALT. Hence, I am emboldened to say to you emphatically today – DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH, NO MATTER WHAT BESIEGE and BETIDE YOU AS ITS CALLED TODAY. For God will give you the enabling assurance in His grace, to ensure you can ABOUND and ABASED in every way in Christ Jesus stead, in order to ensure you are fulfilled in every way in His grace and BLESSEDNESS. 

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever STATE I am, therewith to be CONTENT. 12. I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: everywhere and in all things, I am INSTRUCTED both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13. 

You need to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS first, final and utmost aim day and night against you is always on your FAITH and nothing else – more or less; for the enemy and cohorts knows the powerful effect of your faith against its works and more so, in the knowing that by FAITH you are JUSTIFIED and by FAITH you have ACCESS to God to stand in the grace wherein you can thrive, live and reign in life no matter how many times you fall and fail in things as long as you are steadily steady and keep keeping on, focus on Christ Jesus on your redemption rights and privileges in Him. 

“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. 

And all the intent of the enemy and cohorts activities toward you, is nothing else, but ALL about, for you to just GIVE UP on your FAITH on your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, and he will then take over you, and by then you are DONE away with, from all the OTHER meaningful, purposeful and colourful things such as your – Relationship, Career, Business, Finance, Health, Family and such like. In essence, the ENEMY and COHORTS are out to MESS up your FAITH and DISCONNECT you from God in Christ Jesus, in order to give them ACCESS to ruin every other matter about you. Hence, you need to be sober, alert, vigilant, and steadfast in the FAITH as it’s written in the Holy writ. 

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his ETERNAL GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURE, COMPLETE), STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10. 

And by you taking a FAITH stand in your redemption in Christ Jesus upon the WORD of God, you can turn ANY MESS UP of today into a MESSAGE by ANCHORING and SYNCHRONISING your FAITH steadfastly in God on every GOOD THING DONE IN YOU by Christ Jesus. Amen. 

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

Hence, you must know that your FAITH is PRECIOUS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you to guard it jealously and steadfastly. 2 Peter 1:1-2; Proverbs 4:23. 

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT, YOU NEED NOT GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY – IT’S THE HALLMARK OF LIVING THE EXALTED AND TRIUMPHANT AND THRIVING AND PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. 

The enemy and cohorts know that your FAITH is the only PRECIOUS and CHIEF TREASURE to WRITE and REWRITE your story from the state of: 

  • Disappointment to appointment 
  • Failure to success 
  • Sickness to healing and health 
  • Poverty to prosperity 
  • Sin to righteousness 
  • Disgrace to grace 
  • Mess to Message 
  • Shame to fame 
  • Curse to blessing 
  • . . . And much more like. 

Your FAITH is your VICTORY and TESTIMONY over ALL matters of doing life and living godly for these simple and awesome reason though not limited to these only: 

  • It’s the MYSTERY of grace to TRIUMPH 
  • It’s the stirring gear to Living THE GREATER LIFE. 
  • It pleases God and its reward is AWESOMELY AWESOME. 
  • It’s your EARTHLY currency to cause the HEAVENLY to answer your EARTHLY demands. 
  • It’s the Father God recommended CONTACT in Christ Jesus, to reach Him expressly. 
  • It’s your ARMOURY to put to flight your ENEMY & COHORTS master plans. 
  • It’s your creative tool to ACHIEVE, THRIVE, REJUVENATE and to define the ATMOSPHERE you love to see and enjoy. 
  • For FAITH is NOW, to help ease any earthly transactions with the heavens. 
  • . . . And many such acts and doings. 

Therefore, TREASURE your FAITH. DON’T GIVE IT UP or GIVE UP ON IT for whatsoever REASON. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING – MEDITATING – IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

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

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Galatians 3:11, Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38]. 

“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. 

“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. 

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2. For IT, the elders OBTAINED a GOOD report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which do APPEAR . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him [God]: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/Emphasis Mine. 

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

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

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO! 

“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16. 

We live in an enviable smart generation; it’s a gracious and graceful place to be; and to triumphantly live and thrive meaningfully and purposefully, one needs to be watchful and connected; and to be connected to the one who is able to HELP us to stay ABOVE ONLY in the midst of all the NOISE around it – and that person to help us is the BLESSED Holy Spirit. And by being LED of the Holy Spirit in ALL you do, you can both please the Father God and live faithfully on His merit on earth in this seamless, smart and digitised generation. 

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should PRAY for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And He that SEARCHETH the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:26-27. 

Don’t Be Deceived by any nor be mistaken by self-errors, it’s time for you to exercise yourself into the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS by engaging yourself with the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH called the HOLY BIBLE. You need to – READ and STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for self-discovery that will give and lead you into self-recovery in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. If I may ask you today, HOW MUCH ARE YOU READING and STUDYING and SEARCHING THE WORD in context and comparison to your WATCHING AND VIEWING photos and videos on Social media platform and such like. 

Today, we are carried away with image photos and videos, which most times may be photoshopped, disfigured, distorted, dotted, adulterated and twisted as the creators of such, while many buy into them, analysed them and transmit them on baseless information to vulnerable hearts. You need to be very careful, vigilant and swiftly alert these days; and much more, be LED of the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God if you want the best and FULNESS of our God in this challenging but enviable generation. 

” Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, PROWLS around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking SOMEONE to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be firm and steadfast in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 11 To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11/Amplified. 

It’s through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that’s BREATHED by the Holy Spirit that we can do life and live godly with this TIMED GENERATION despite all the awesome happenings in it. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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, throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD works” 2 Timothy 2:14-17.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17 (John 15:26). 

“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine, and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY: EXERCISING THE USE OF THE WEAPONRY OF WAR FOR WARFARE!

I just want to remind you now and for your tomorrow, hoping that you might have known or and probably be informing you for first time to know that every born-again believing child of God in Christ Jesus, is a battlefield; and in a battlefield knowingly and unknowingly. And there’s the need to daily sharpen your instrument [weaponry] and keep it readily ready to engage in any battles in the now or tomorrow. Because the enemy and cohorts we are engaged with is roaring and roaming around looking for whom to devour. 1 Peter 5:8-11. Therefore, there’s the need to get yourself and spiritual weaponry ready 24/7 as you do life and live godly in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It’s time as an unparalleled army of God in Christ Jesus, to exercise the KNOW-HOW to be THE COMBATANT and MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER with the ARMOURING for warfare – and THE ANTIDOTE to deal with the ENEMY and COHORTS WILES and ASSAULT.

“Through God we shall do VALIANTLY [VICTORIOUSLY]: for He it is that shall TREAD [TRAMPLED] DOWN our ENEMIES” Psalms 60:12/Emphasis Mine.

It may not surprise you on how much forecast are made yearly in budgetary investment, that showcased for military might by some nations. Their intent is to ensure that both their OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE operations and mechanism along with the training of their combatant military forces are ready and safely set at the top of the range for combating. This they do as a measure to stand out among other nations and to ensure the measure of warning signs on their national neighbourhoods and competitors on how prepared they are in any battle that may arise – be it on land, air and sea and such like.

Today, lots of nations are investing heavily to fight cyberspace wars against many factors in the sphere and while others are on terrorisms of various sphere. This is to tell you that the ENEMY and COHORTS are are at war naturally as you can hear or look or see or read about of various places and some are near you or you are a part of the national wars and warfare; while some are undergoing some threatening and others are at an international war investment in various continents of the world. In each case WEAPONRY is involved with personal answering to their commandants and head of state as commissioned.

DESPITE all the huge investments in these natural nations, lives are lost, weaponry weapons are destroyed while some goes obsolete in order to give room to new innovations in technology. These natural wars and warfare are at vast difference from the  wars and warfare which the unparalleled armies of God in Christ Jesus is engaged with; and are equally located and stationed in every territory of the world beyond the limits and boundaries of nations and national limitations.

As in the humanly made army described above that are limited in nature in comparison to the divinely arranged spiritual army, as ascribed as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – which is the Church of God in Christ Jesus – the weaponry weapons in use for warfare are not carnal – meaning are not man made or humanly crafted. The weaponry weapons in use by the UNPARALLELED ARMY are not external as in the world; and are spiritual made as an OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour for spiritual warfare. For our warfare are spiritual and not fought or battled in the flesh (physical) though it has physical effect, hence our armour is expected to be PUT ON 24/7 by God’s unparalleled army in order to be always readily ready to triumph in Christ Jesus stead in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14. This is also explained in full as enjoined in the epistle scripture of Ephesians 6:10-18, as instructed by Apostle Paul to the Church of Ephesus. It’s by PUTTING ON this OFFENSIVE and DEFENSIVE armour that we can be able to stand AGAINST the enemy and cohorts in every phase of warfare in our walk of FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS GIRT ABOUT WITH TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET SHOD with the preparation of THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS OF THE WICKED. 17 And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING ALWAYS WITH ALL PRAYER and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6: 10-18.

It must be noted that the armouring for our warfare to battle against the WILES of the enemy and cohorts’ mode of operandi – at every and all their forms of manifestations, against our FAITH in Christ Jesus – are readily available for our disposal and utilisation. Our place in Christ is to EXERCISE the rights and privileges in the FAITH upon which we stand in Christ Jesus in order to enact, authenticate and put the weapons and armouring into use to ensure and assure the essence and purpose for which it’s been given to us all – as the REDEEMED of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

For when our grandstanding PURPOSE are not exercised or utilised, and misused, the enemies rule and reign – hence there are many REDEEMED today that are still struggling in their walk and work with God, for not their inability to EXERCISE or be EXERCISING the SURELY and ASSURED weaponry weapon to bring ALL the works of the enemy and cohorts down as Jesus and the early Disciples – called Apostles did exercise ahead of time before us all in Christ Jesus stead.For we are enjoined in this scripture to:

“For though we WALK in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not CARRYING ON our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 THE WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our WEAPONS are DIVINELY POWERFUL for the destruction of fortresses.5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Amplified.

“Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall rise AGAINST thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

Herein are some major spiritual weaponries or armouring to be exercised to put to use in order – to authenticate and enact and realise our VICTORY in ALL battles and warfare:

a. EXERCISING the spirit of being always on your UNIFORM – SPIRITUAL ARMOURING and WEAPONRY – Ephesians 6:10-18.
b. EXERCISING the WORD of FAITH (Knowledge and understanding of the WORD and Faith declaration or Confession of the WORD accordingly) – Mark 11:22-23; Luke 4:1-3; Luke 4:1-13 (Deuteronomy 8:3; Psalms 91:11-12); Revelation 12:11; Matthew 8:16; Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Peter 5:8-9; John 6:63; Hebrews 10:23; Proverbs 6:2; Romans 10:8-10.
c. EXERCISING the NAME of JESUS – Luke 10:17; Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 4:12; Acts 3:6-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:16-20; John 14:12-17.
d. EXERCISING the BLOOD of JESUS – Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 9:12; Colossians 1:14: Ephesians 1:7; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6.
e. EXERCISING the Power of PRAISE and WORSHIP – Psalms 149; Psalms 150; Psalms 8:2; 2 Chronicles 20:20-25, Joshua 6:1-21.
f. EXERCISING the PLACE of PRAYERS and FASTING – Acts 4:23-31; Acts 6:4; Mark 1:35; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 17:13-21/Mark 9:14-29; Luke 18:1-8; James 5:13-16; Mark 6:12-13. Matthew 6:5-18.
g. EXERCISING the Leadership of the Holy Spirit – Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49; John 3:8; John 16:13-15; Romans 8: 11-16, 26-27; Jude 1:20; Ephesians 6:18.

And there are three strategic WILES and MODE of OPERANDI that are scriptural known in use by satanic and cohorts against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and for each we are fully informed with the Scriptural ANTIDOTE that can and will always COMBAT the enemy and cohort wiles as we are enjoined to:

“PUT ON THE WHOLE Armour of God, that ye may be ABLE to STAND AGAINST the WILES of the DEVIL” Ephesians 6:11.

Herein are the ENEMY and COHORTS wiles and mode of Operandi and our instructed antidote to note about them and the how to deal with their craft and cunning tactics accordingly:

  1. AS A ROARING LION – 1 Peter 5:8.
    ANTIDOTE: 1 Peter 5:9; James 4:7
  2. AS A WOLF IN SHEEP CLOTHING – Matthew 7:15.
    ANTIDOTE:     Matthew 7:16, 20.
  3. AS AN ANGEL OF LIGHT – 2 Corinthians 11:13-15.
    ANTIDOTE: 1 Corinthians 12:8-10.

Suffice to know full well that overtime, one thing is certain and it’s worth noting that – Kingdoms, Nations, Empires, Politicians, Political and Military dictators, Kings and Rulers that have covenanted with satan and cohorts to do evil and wickedness, have risen and fallen – lost their greatness and collapsed, reigned and died – yet the Church of God in Christ Jesus, hallelujah, the greatest and only UNPARALLELED ARMY force that’s universally located and stationed – and known on earth, beneath the earth and in the heavens, keeps marching on triumphantly in the face of absolute oppositions and challenges – and all these in spite of all the attacks of the ENEMY and COHORTS on God’s mandate – plan, purpose and pursuit through His UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Crowns and thrones may perish

Kingdoms rise and wane

But the Church of Jesus constant will remain:

Gates of hell can never

‘Gainst that Church prevail;

We have Christ’s own promise –

And that cannot fail” – S. Baring-Gould

The UNPARALLELED ARMY, the CHURCH of God is undaunted in every way of the challenges that are emanating today and any day in future, because the Kingdom purpose and cause is of God and it’s an EVERLASTING KINGDOM; and thus endures and will endure through ALL GENERATIONS, irrespective of the challenges, opposition and difficulties in the path way as we see daily in all the multimedia channels and events near you.

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

“For THE KINGDOM is the Lord’s: and he is the GOVERNOR among THE NATIONS” Psalms 22:28.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and without, at WAR with the enemy and cohorts that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; at WAR with spiritual forces and principalities and powers in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen”  1 Peter 5:8-11.

And because we ARE at war and warfare entails, it takes a spirited combatant Militant-Like Soldier’s stand to combat to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial and representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be courtmartialed and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. 2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

Be assured that our weaponry weapon is sure, assured to bring all things under God’s control. For in in Christ Jesus all things and flesh – animate and inanimate are subdued and SUBJECTED to the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE NOT AGAINST FLESH AND BLOOD, but AGAINST principalities, AGAINST powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on THE BREASTPLATE of righteousness; 15 and your feet shod with the preparation of THE GOSPEL of peace; 16 above all, taking THE SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and THE SWORD of the Spirit, which is THE WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints . . .” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to WIN MY BATTLES. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, NOT THOSE MADE BY MEN, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these WEAPONS I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, AND A GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have finished my course, I have KEPT THE FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:7-8.

“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an INSTRUMENT for his work; and I have CREATED the waster to destroy. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise AGAINST thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“ASSOCIATE yourselves, O ye people, and ye shall be BROKEN in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries: gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces. 10 Take COUNSEL TOGETHER, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: FOR GOD IS WITH US. 11 For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying, 12 SAY YE NOT, A CONFEDERACY, to all them to whom this people shall say, A CONFEDERACY; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. 13 SANCTIFY the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread . . . 16 BIND UP THE TESTIMONY, SEAL THE LAW AMONG MY DISCIPLES. 17 And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him. 18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. 19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? 20 TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY: IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEM . . .” Isaiah 8:9-22.

“Ye 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.

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

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to THE WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER

A MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead!

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same COMMIT thou to FAITHFUL men, who shall be able to TEACH others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, AS A GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the AFFAIRS of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a SOLDIER. 5 And if a man also STRIVE FOR MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:1-5.

The Church of God as an UNPARALLELED ARMY is a Militant-like Soldier who is daily at WAR in every aspect of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual WARFARE. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily ready to get engaged whenever and wherever in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to the individual lives, families, communities, nations and more.

AND YOU ARE THE CHURCH THAT’S GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN NATURE IN CHRIST JESUS, BUILT-UP TO WIN AND TRIUMPH DAILY AS SET AND ASSURED.

The Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, though engage in constant MILITANT-LIKE spiritual warfare, is also a TRIUMPHANT Church. Each warfare and battle defines, refines, refreshes, energizes, rejuvenates, refires and renews the Church; hence the Church is GLORIOUS in all, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic cohorts effort to fake, duplicate, pervert and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim and prey rather than a victor. You are a WINNER in Christ Jesus stead any day and anyway in everywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with the battles within and without. Ephesians 6:10-20.

The militant-like soldier – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is at WAR with the FLESH within; and at WAR  with the ENEMY and COHORTS that’s against our FAITH in Christ Jesus; and at WAR with spiritual forces and PRINCIPALITIES and POWERS in heavenly and earthly places of doing life; and at WAR with man-made religious dogmas and denominational entanglement and doctrinal sectarian bonds and traditional bye-laws and creeds in the name of God and at war with many such like as may be identified by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as He leads the Church – you, local and universal. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Ephesians 6:10-20; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Philippians 1:15-18; Philippians 3:18-19; 1 Peter 5:8-10; Acts 8:9-25].

And this WAR and WARFARE is about our FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ. Hence Apostle Paul says we should FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, indicating some fights are uncalled-for, not good fights, not fights worth engaging in and we should be aliens to them by every means. Suffice to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS are not necessarily after your physical possession and well being in their engagement of WAR and WARFARE against you. They are actually using the things you consider they ARE after as a distraction from the real deal. Their main target is your FAITH. To make you GIVE UP on your FAITH in God in Christ Jesus. Knowing that, as long as your steadfastness in God in Christ Jesus is steadily steady, you can ALWAYS recover all losses by the winning and victorious FAITH as Job deed [1 John 5:3-5]. For Job recovered the MORE by taking the stand that the REDEEMER lives in spite of all he went through with satan and cohorts, friends and wife against his stand in God – Job 19:25; Job 42:10-17.

“FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT (SMARTLY SENSITIVE, ALERT); because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, AS A ROARING LION, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your BRETHREN that are in THE WORLD. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE YOU. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen”  1 Peter 5:8-11.

And because we ARE at war and warfare, it takes a spirited Militant-Like Soldier stand to win and triumph daily and always as Apostle Paul admonished Timothy in the Holy writ of 2 Timothy 2:1-5. And to be a Soldier of Christ under the heavenly, wherein our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ is the captain of the host of God’s unparalleled army on earth with the angelic assisted army is a promise of full assurance of victory, triumph, overcoming and such like. Joshua 5:13-15. And this rare privilege to be a Militant-like Soldier is made possible by the grace of God and that gives us in the earthly sphere the right to be His ambassadorial representative in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. And as such, there’s no room for errors and perversions in our walk in His stead. We need to war lawfully and obediently otherwise we will be court-martial and be declared upon with a “PERSONA NON GRATA” statuesque for woefully defiling and disobeying orders as expected. [2 Timothy 1:1-5; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6].

Herein are some lessons to keep in mind as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, in order to avoid the setbacks, set ups and create a safety and security net that’s WORTH doing to win in life and grace.

To begin with, WHAT IS A CHURCH? A Church is the you (an individual), the local and the universal body of born again (of God) Believer’s on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus, filled with and led by the Holy Spirit, having (under) a Shepherd.

The reason why this CHURCH definition is important in the context of the scriptures is because there are many loose and loosely individuals and locals Believers out there who belongs to no Shepherd or rather not under any Shepherd for reckoning, as such are uncountable to any under God as the Scripture has enjoined – [Hebrews 13:16-17]. Such Believers are vulnerable or positioned in a vulnerable state knowingly and or unknowingly – which is a state of ignorance, foolishness and arrogance and stupidity due to some zealousness without knowledge and understanding in context and perception.

For a while, my younger children have been watching a Netflix documentary program called OUR PLANET. In the course of them watching the program for the few occasions of sitting down around with the children, I was curious about how the Cat family – especially the Lion and Leopard can easily target up their prey in order to feed and make a meal off them. Most of the time, I discovered they are always looking out to target a stand alone prey from the herd. And once identified, in their chase they can corner out that vulnerable stand alone, and their day meal is is set and made readily ready.

And it gives me a picture on how the ENEMY and COHORTS go about looking for that vulnerable stand alone Believer in Christ Jesus – who are not keen to have a covering Shepherd over their head. They roam about as spiritual harlots accountable to no one and none can account on their behalf – Hebrews 13:16-17. These Believers that belong to no fellowship or Local assembly or attend any gathering of God’s precious and redeemed people are exposed as lone soldier for the enemy and cohorts to PREY upon at challenging and difficult times.

DON’T BE A LONE MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER BELIEVER AND MINISTER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST GOSPEL MINISTRY.

When you think because you can read the Bible and pray to Father God in Christ Jesus, speak in tongues of the Holy Spirit, makes you not to see the need to have interaction and communication and fellowship with other Believers of same like father – you are knowingly setting yourself as lone soldier. I have seen people who are more in bond and bound to their set denomination and doctrine and sectarians settings that when they come to a new dwelling places and can’t find the same kind of local assembly they came from, they are not going to worship and serve God wholeheartedly in any new places of gathering for worship.

And some immediately will either form their own gathering assembly as if that’s the only mark to worship and serve God worthily and acceptably and make heaven. And unfortunately, some Ministers are not in any way out of this hook, because they have so much indoctrinated people with denominational spirit than with the Gospel of the body ministry of Christ Jesus, as such wants their members to use the opportunity to open up an extension of their denomination branch setting and immediately make such people Pastors overnight, even the individuals knows there’s no call of God upon their life for such spiritual placement and position – hence today there’s all manners of confusion and schisms and perversion and adulteration in the body ministry of the Gospel of Christ Jesus. And it’s of such like that Apostle Paul warns Timothy not to suddenly lay hands on any man for a spiritual high office to safeguard the body ministry – 1 Timothy 5:22.

In my watching over the xnatural national militant soldiers and interacting with few to hear their respective storyline, one thing I have learnt and can conclude from them is that they never fight alone without a team spirit and set back ups so that when there’s an injury from the enemies and cohorts side, there’s an immediate response to take their own out of the battle side whether dead or alive to preserve the honour and dignity and integrity to SERVE as soldier.

Unfortunately, in Church life over the years, especially where ignorance, stupidity and foolishness and schism exist, I have seen from grandstand where fellow UNPARALLELED ARMY are abandoned and left for the enemy and cohorts to have a full feed day upon in the name of punishment or sectarian reasons. Yet, the commandant of the UNPARALLELED ARMY, our Lord Jesus won’t abandon and let His own be devoured but will take them along as good, chief and great shepherd of the sheep to nurse His own and strengthen them so that they can recover speedily and live to fight another day as David will do against the Lion and the Bear that came along his way with his father’s sheep he was shepherding – and he was able to keep the sheep safe, secure and protected as the scriptures recorded – 1 Samuel 17:34-37.

 

You ARE a MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER. You ARE THE UNPARALLELED ARMY. You ARE the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead. Be wise to take your place and PUT OFF the civilian uniform and PUT ON the armour of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Colossians 3:9-15; Ephesians 6:10-18.

BLESSED REGARDS IN THIS READ IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS. AMEN.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE – THE VICTORY AND TRIUMPH STAND: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

“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. 29 For whom He did FOREKNOW, He also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also CALLED: and whom He called, them He also JUSTIFIED: and whom He justified, them He also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH STAND IN THE GRACE as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be FULFILLED in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realised in course of time, in dealing with many in the cause of personalised FAITH-BASED and GODLY-INSPIRED COUNSELING SURGERY sections that happens now and always on a day-by-day basis. Some don’t want to share and partake in the PRINCIPLE of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled purpose in God, in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all which can’t happen, no matter the religion and sacrificial activities one thus engaged to make up. My dear, OBEDIENCE is the main switchboard act of faithfulness to the cause to advance God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

It was in OBEDIENCE that our Saviour and Lord keyed into, while in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience same like FULFILMENT, in FAITHFULNESS and all GOODNESS to DIVINELY driven PURPOSE as it’s written concerning our Lord Jesus Christ:

“. . . 7 Who in THE DAYS OF HIS FLESH, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8 THOUGH HE WERE A SON, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE BY THE THINGS WHICH HE SUFFERED; 9 and being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec”  Hebrews 5:1-10.

“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 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. There’s no place with God for those who thrive in disobedient to the cause of God. And all who knows the truth and manipulates it for their unrighteous causes to  distort, adulterate and pervert the cause of advancing the TRUTH of the Kingdom of God from sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation  and to also keep the enemy and cohorts at bay.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in OBEYING the voice of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY is better than sacrifice SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is as the sin of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I FEARED the people, and OBEYED their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“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.

This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship to RULE and to REIGN in the given opportunity in the grace. And some Believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship to reign and rule in civility in the grace and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION in godliness in the grace. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the FAITHFUL witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.c

“Ye also, as lively stones,Xxxx are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, and the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, is working tirelessly and timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. [1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11]. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old tricks attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their life’s. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN.

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not carnal [fleshy, man-made], but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the KNOWLEDGE of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6/Emphasis Mine.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in everyway and places. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17].

It is in OBEDIENCE that we find PLEASURE and fulfilment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we ARE made to INHERIT of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – [1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12]. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINELY giving instructions to go and satisfy then the FLESHLY-RULED and BODILY-RULED demand, which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to MEASURE and LEGISLATE SPIRITUALITY in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfil PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. [Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6].

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN ONLY YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE in God’s enabling grace in the faith. For then you can take the VICTORY and TRIUMPH stand, by OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, as obey you Him worthily and serve Him acceptably in the grace, in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: ENABLED BY FAITH TO RELIEVE US FROM FEAR PHOBIAS!
 
“That is why I REMIND you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special ENDOWMENT] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.
 
There’s a uniqueness about your life that you need to harness to create the atmosphere you love to see and enjoy and to share with all about you, but it’s not coming into reality because the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS have taken over you to rule and reign over the FAITH that empowers you to succeed and prosper in God in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Know full well and for sure, that the BLESSEDNESS of God in you, it’s beautiful, adorable, precious, priceless, memorable, gracious and such like in Christ Jesus. Amen. You can only enhance and enact it’s presence by FAITH and not by FEAR. You can HARNESS its presence to enable you innovate, create, initiate and explore the fullness of God in you by FAITH and not by FEAR. Hence, we are enjoined by the scripture to do life and godly living through walking by FAITH and not walking by SIGHT – senses (by what we – see, smell, taste, touch/feel and hear). For in the realm of sight (senses), there the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS operates and manifest – thereby administering the characteristics and its effects.
 
“For we WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]” 2 Corinthians 5:7 Amplified.
 
And by FAITH we live in triumph and victory over the world sense of governance in doing life and godly living in our dealing with matters on EARTH. FAITH is the heavenly kingdom de facto currency to trade in exchange of the heavenly to bring about the earthly affairs into reality. And the BLESSEDNESS of God, that is the potent enabling, only in manifestations and operations by faith as it’s written:
 
“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.
 
The great enemy of FAITH is FEAR. Fear is the enemy and cohorts policing officer to ridicule, torment, embarrass, frighten, jeopardise, limit and such like, on any person set goals – purpose and plan. Fear intimidates, makes timidity, enslaves boldness and robs one of enhancing the GOOD and GOODNESS within that God in Christ Jesus has embedded in us as written:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
Young Timothy was gifted and ENDOWED with The BLESSEDNESS of God, but FEAR of the unknown and in taking a bold step, stopped him and made him inactive, timid and non-functional in the GRACE upon and within him. It took Apostle Paul to speak into him with reminder, awaken him and bring him to the reality of who he’s and what God has ENDOWED him. Reminding him to know, that what God has ENDOWED him with, he should not allow the spirit of FEAR to grip him and rob him of it. Thus, indicating that FEAR is a spirit, meaning has a characteristic that must be overcome with by FAITH characteristics as it’s written:
 
“That is why I REMIND you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special ENDOWMENT] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.
 
And by working in perfect – wholesome, complete and mature genuine LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, in respect to God’s BLESSEDNESS in context, that’s what cast out – cast off, put off and sentence FEAR out of the vicinity. Simply because FAITH works by LOVE. The LOVE that operating and administering in the REDEMPTION rights and privileges of – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD; this LOVE that works by FAITH, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to any and irrespective, in Christ Jesus.
 
“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.
 
“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.
 
“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (hypocrisy). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” Romans 12:9.
 
And there are over 365 Scriptures of “FEAR NOT” available to and for us in the holy writ, to enable us not to allow FEAR to rob us of living in TRIUMPH and VICTORY, being an OVERCOMER and a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. For Christ Jesus took our nature in humanity, thereby used the victory to help us subdued fear and the architect of fear – Satan and his cohorts; and by that we might and can serve God today, in holiness and righteousness without FEAR, all the days of our life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, wake up from your slumbering state and the intimidating SPIRIT OF FEAR PHOBIAS to the empowering by FAITH, that you may be able to innovate, create, initiate and explore that which God has given us and set out in His plan, purpose and pursuit for you. And you can now arise to attend to the things that overtime would have made you have a meaningless and fulfilling life and godly living, in every way, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
ACT ON FAITH TODAY AND NOT TOMORROW – THIS WILL ENHANCE THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD IN YOU – AND YOU WILL BE RELIEVED OF THE FEAR PHOBIAS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: IT’S By RESPONDING AND NOT BY REACTING!

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.
 
You are RESPONSIBLE to what you BECOME by what you do with what had happened or is happening to you in life day by day. You can either allow your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus stead to be the stand you take, before you do anything, and in RESPONDING to matters as you do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, or you can go about and be REACTING – complaining, blaming, nagging and such like, thereby walking away from your DOMINION rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, that gives you the enabling to have leverage in an onward and upward trajectory over your challenges and difficulties irrespective of the source and cause.
 
KNOW FOR CERTAINTY THAT YOUR RESPONDING MUST BE BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND MORE – OTHERWISE YOU ARE REACTING AND GOD’S WORD BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR YOU IN THAT CONTEXT.
 
Sometimes, it may be true and/or a fact that somebody brought you down to the ditch or valley that you are going through right now – and may be to have use you for their own selfish gains or otherwise to hurt and harm your own progress – but you must know for sure, that you are always the one that’s RESPONSIBLE to rise above your circumstances, otherwise you will keep yourself in a REACTING and REACTION Mode and mood by MOANING and COMPLAINING and NAGGING and even hurting yourself for nothing – over and over – there and again – about the event with no scriptural progress instead standstill and regrets. And unfortunately, while at the same time of standstill and regrets, there’s there the lavished opportunity to be an overcomer, triumphant, victorious and a more than conqueror and such like, that’s embedded in your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION awaiting you there to turn the bad to good, to turn the mess to a message and to turn the test to testimony and to turn the failure to success.
 
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
 
“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your MOUTH , but you shall MEDITATE in it day and night, that you may OBSERVE to do according to all that is WRITTEN in it. For then YOU will make your way PROSPEROUS , and then YOU will have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8/NKJV.
 
You can make great DIFFERENCE in yourself, when you chose to RISE UP RESPONSIBLY above your circumstances in grace. RESPONDING to life matters by your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION instead of REACTING, is the lifeline to DEMONSTRATE and MAKE your DISTRACTOR wrong; also in BECOMING an ACHIEVER in and through the MIDST of any situation that brought or kept you low previously. I know what I am saying and I pray you get it rights too.
 
YOU CAN – RESPOND TO GROW FLOWERS OTHERWISE REACT TO GROW WEEDS – IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE AND CALL.
 
You may not be able to control your opponents ATTITUDES and the challenges and difficult circumstances about you, but you are RESPONSIBLE by your ATTITUDES that defines your ALTITUDE on how you can do life with your DOMINON rights and privileges in REDEMPTION; especially toward all the MATTERS confronting you without loosing a sleep or sweating but in essence achieving greatness with God, by His word, in your steadfast stand in Christ Jesus stead, in an effortless condition of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS toward your circumstances.
 
If you MUST live in DOMINION, I say again, if you MUST live through DOMINION in REDEMPTION, you must be prepared to RESPOND in grace rather than REACT to the circumstances that befalls you daily by the fleshly DEMANDS. Give no OXYGEN to the ENEMY and COHORTS and the circumstances demands. Your realm in REDEMPTION is a mystery to all and I hope and pray you know it for yourself without PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION.
 
The state of RESPONDING to any level of MATTERS under the sun by your Dominon rights and privileges in REDEMPTION – makes you mature, wise and CALCULATING – just as an Eagle to the prey, and over the ENEMY and Cohorts – to ensure you take your circumstances unaware of your new you, in a grand style while SOARING IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION; while by REACTING, it makes you cheap, unwise and vulnerable to your circumstances, and to the enemy and cohorts or opponent’s intent to make you their PREY and their VICTIM, which is not good for you when you’ve OUGHT not to be.
 
Lets learn from our Lord Jesus grand STYLE WISDOM that brought the devil and cohorts down for our DOMINON IN REDEMPTION – as our Father God have offered us His graciousness and endowed and endued us lavishly with the Holy Spirit of promise in Christ Jesus – thereby enabling us to live and walk fully in life and godliness UNRESERVEDLY, UNAPOLOGETICALLY and UNCOMPROMISINGLY.
“Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are PERFECT [MATURE, WHOLE, COMPLETE]: yet not the WISDOM of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the WISDOM of God in a MYSTERY , even the HIDDEN WISDOM, which God ORDAINED before the world unto our glory: 8 which NONE of the PRINCES of this world KNEW: for had they KNOWN it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.
“Such hope [in God’s PROMISES] never DISAPPOINTS us, because God’s LOVE has been abundantly POURED [LAVISHED] out within our HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN [ENDOWED, ENDUED] to us” Romans 5:5.
RESPONDING IS A MAJOR ACT TO WINNING WAYS IN LIFE – NOT BY REACTING TO PROVE A POINT. AND RESPONDING IS BY THE WORD – IN THE KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTEXT – AND NOTHING ELSE AND NOTHING MORE.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT

By Leave a Comment

TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT: DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“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.

I learnt early in my Christian Walk in Christ Jesus stead, by the various factors and happenings and challenges that came my way that VICTORY and TRIUMPH is possible in Christ, when I hold on to my FAITH in the context of the Scriptures, because FAITH goes killing GIANTS when all things comes to a HALT. Hence, I am emboldened to say to you emphatically today – DON’T GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH, NO MATTER WHAT BESIEGE and BETIDE YOU AS ITS CALLED TODAY. For God will give you the enabling assurance in His grace, to ensure you can ABOUND and ABASED in everyway in Christ Jesus stead, in order to ensure you are fulfilled in everyway in His grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have LEARNED, in whatsoever STATE I am, therewith to be CONTENT. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am INSTRUCTED both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

You need to know that the ENEMY and COHORTS first, final and utmost aim day and night against you is always on your FAITH and nothing else – more or less; for the enemy and cohorts knows the powerful effect of your faith against it’s works and more so, in the knowing that by FAITH you are JUSTIFIED and by FAITH you have ACCESS to God to stand in the grace wherein you can thrive, live and reign in life no matter how many times you fall and fail in things as long as you are steadily steady and keep keeping on, focus on Christ Jesus on your redemption rights and privileges in Him.

“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.

And all the intent of the enemy and cohorts activities toward you, is nothing else, but ALL about, for you to just GIVE UP on your FAITH on your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus, and he will then takes over you and by then you are DONE away with, from all the OTHER meaningful, purposeful and colourful things such as your – Relationship, Career, Business, Finance, Health, Family and such like. In essence, the ENEMY and  COHORTS are out to MESS up your FAITH and DISCONNECT you from God in Christ Jesus, in order to give them ACCESS to ruin every other matters about you. Hence you need to be sober, alert , vigilant and steadfast in the FAITH as it’s written in the Holy writ.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his ETERNAL GLORY by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT (WHOLE, MATURE, COMPLETE), STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

And by you taking a FAITH stand in your redemption in Christ Jesus upon the WORD of God, you can turn ANY MESS UP of today into a MESSAGE by ANCHORING and SYNCHRONIZING your FAITH steadfastly in God on every GOOD THING DONE IN YOU by Christ Jesus. Amen.

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

Hence, you must know that your FAITH is PRECIOUS and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for you to guard it jealously and steadfastly. 2 Peter 1:1-2; Proverbs 4:23.

IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT, YOU NEED NOT GIVE UP OR QUIT ON YOUR FAITH JOURNEY – IT’S THE HALLMARK OF LIVING THE EXALTED AND TRIUMPHANT AND THRIVING AND PURPOSEFUL AND MEANINGFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

The enemy and cohorts Knows that your FAITH is the only PRECIOUS and CHIEF TREASURE to WRITE and REWRITE your story from the state of:

** Disappointment to appointment

** Failure to success

** Sickness to healing and health

** Poverty to prosperity

** Sin to righteousness

** Disgrace to grace

** Mess to Message

** Shame to fame

** Curse to blessing

** . . . And much more such like.

Your FAITH is your VICTORY and TESTIMONY over ALL matters of doing life and living godly for these simple and awesome reason though not limited to these only:

* It’s the MYSTERY of grace to TRIUMPH

* It’s the stirring gear to Living THE GREATER LIFE.

* It pleases God and its reward is AWESOMELY AWESOME.

* It’s your EARTHLY currency to cause the HEAVENLY to answer your EARTHLY demands.

* It’s the Father God recommended CONTACT in Christ Jesus, to reach Him expressly.

* It’s your ARMOURY to put to flight your ENEMY & COHORTS master plans.

* It’s your creative tool to ACHIEVE, THRIVE, REJUVENATE and to define the ATMOSPHERE you loves to see and enjoy.

* For FAITH is NOW, to help ease any earthly transactions with the heavens.

* . . . And many such like acts and doings.

Therefore, TREASURE your FAITH. DON’T GIVE IT UP or GIVE UP ON IT for whatsoever REASON.

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by IT the elders OBTAINED a GOOD report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which do APPEAR . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him [God]: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/Emphasis Mine.

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

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

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

“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.

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR WITH GRACIOUS WORDS

By Leave a Comment

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR WITH GRACIOUS WORDS: I BELIEVE AND I THEREFORE SPEAK FORTH ACCORDINGLY!

“We HAVING the same spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

What are you SPEAKING FORTH? Is it SCRIPTURAL and within CONTEXT? I have a simple but great thoughtful questions before you at this start up time of the YEAR and with the dawn entrance month January. I want you to take time to thoughtfully PONDER if any or more of these matters concerns you in context:

** Do you actually BELIEVE in the YOU in YOU in Christ Jesus stead?

** Do you actually BELIEVE what you are DECLARING and SAYING and ANNOUNCING and PROCLAIMING and CONFESSING to and possibly might have DECLARED about yourself in your YEAR BLUEPRINT?

** Are you just ACTING UP and BANKING on PRESUMPTIONS or ASSUMPTIONS, which you know will definitely bring one to a place of DELUSION as before?

** Do you KNOW and UNDERSTAND for yourself who you ARE, what you HAVE, what YOU’VE become of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION?

** Are you living in the light of the WORD wherein God had set you FREE in Christ Jesus?

** I hope you ARE not living under the taskmaster of men that ‘do god’ to you thereby enslaving you in their vicious tutelage of extortion, control and then subjugate you to themselves instead of toward the WORD of God?

I want you to know for certainty that whatsoever that’s not of God’s WORD or rather in the CONTEXT of God’s WORD in respect of the question of consideration, is then not of the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the Holy Spirit of God; and that indicates that you run away from it, irrespective of what it entails. Just know that if you can’t BELIEVE it – that is, to CONCEIVE it, you can’t ACT on it by FAITH. You may ACT on it by FATE thinking is FAITH. FAITH is not FATE.  FAITH is of the WORD of God while FATE is on assumptions and presumption to anything in the natural sense [sensual, flesh] of reasons outside God’s WORD patterning to what you can: smell, hear, see, taste, feel/touch. And if yes to FATE and not to God’s WORD, then, you need to PAUSE AND THINK – SELAH.

And if you can actually BELIEVE in your God given YEAR BLUE PRINT set vision [Plan, Purpose and Pursuit], then go FORTH to keep on keeping on, by SPEAKING IT FORTH and DECLARING IT FORTH into reality as you DILIGENTLY follow suit with the resource of grace that’s available for your PRUDENCE management as may be applicable: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL AND PEOPLE; you will discover and come to the realisation overtime, that, it will bring about your desires and fulfilment into reality and wholeness.

For when your spirit-Heart BELIEVES and MOUTH declaration AGREES in the same spirit of grace through DILIGENCE, REALITY and FRUITION is bound to BECOME as spoken in Christ Jesus on your behalf. [Hebrews 11:6; Psalms 19:14; Proverbs 22:29; Habakkuk 2:1-4].

So, keep the UNWAVERING FAITH in that which you BELIEVE and trust God about it and to do it on your behalf. Know for certain that God BELIEVES in you, but do you BELIEVE in yourself into the ability of the WORD to materialised in and through you?

“. . . 37 For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD. And the angel departed from her . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:26-45.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

It’s imperative that, as Apostle Paul and David the King in the Holy writ writings would make us to know and to see the reason and the need to BELIEVE first, as the how to operate in the realms of TRIUMPH, VICTORY, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and OVERCOMER; for to BELIEVE is to CONCEIVE the word [information, message] – which means CONCEIVING a SEED; just as a woman would have to CONCEIVE first [the seed for productivity] if she must give birth to a child; you need to know full well that EVERY SEED has within the seed, the potential of REPRODUCING the kind in ABUNDANCE when truly natured; of which in this context and at this moment it’s to nature God’s WORD and to SPEAK FORTH the WORD accordingly and to keep on keeping on DECLARING the WORD unto the AFFIRMATION of the reality – until the WORD will BECOME tangible – that’s for you to STAY-ON SPEAKING FORTH the WORD, until an ANSWER comes as it will assuredly]. [2 Corinthians 4 13; Psalms 19:14; Romans 10:8-13]; for SURELY the CONCEIVE WORD-VISION is for an APPOINTED TIME and it shall come to pass according to the Scriptures. It thus means, that, between the TIME you do BELIEVE [CONCEPTION MOMENT] and to the time of the DELIVERY [ACTUALISATION], what you do DECLARE, SAY, PROCLAIM, ANNOUNCE to SEE is very vital spiritually, unto the tangibility and realisation of your EXPECTATIONS. See how our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, went speaking forth GRACIOUS WORDS after announcing the big moment of God’s PURPOSE for Him before the audience for His onward and upward trajectory.

“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine.

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs; 23:18.

“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” Philippians 1:6.

“Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED strength to CONCEIVE seed, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she JUDGED him FAITHFUL who had PROMISED. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable” Hebrews 11:11-12.

When Two BLIND MEN in Matthew 9:27-31 came to Jesus for their wholeness [healing and health], they were asked by Jesus if they BELIEVED in His ability to make them whole and to make them receive their sight accordingly through Him; they shouted in their declarations – YEAH LORD, WE BELIEVE! They did not just BELIEVE – CONCEIVE to see, they FOLLOWED all the way to see the expectations come to fruition. And when the blind men were questioned afterwards, they UPHELD to their BELIEVE unwaveringly to the same DECLARATIONS; and the blind men then SAW – received their sight afterwards [BELIEVE BECOMES TANGIBLE]. For Jesus said to them, ACCORDING to your FAITH – [ACTING on what you BELIEVE] – RECEIVE your sight. Meaning, you BECOME what you BELIEVE. And they BECAME [SAW] what they BELIEVE.

Another LIVING EPISTLE of this is found in Luke 1:26-45. When the Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary the mother of our Saviour Lord and king – Jesus Christ, concerning the Birth of Christ Jesus, she did ask the Angel, how can this be or rather how can it happen, considering her position or circumstances as a virgin and engaged to be married. The Angel told her how the Holy Spirit will come upon her to make it happens. The Scripture record was that she BELIEVE, meaning she CONCEIVE the WORD and said then and on – BE IT INTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. She was so excited in her BELIEVE and CONCEPTION that she keeps DECLARING of her CONCEPTION, knowing also that she had been told, that, with God, NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE.

“. . . 37 For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me ACCORDING TO THY WORD. And the angel departed from her . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:26-45.

Mary in her BELIEVE – that is, in her conception, visited Elizabeth her cousin who then was also pregnant. And soon as they met, the Holy Spirit came upon Elizabeth who then went and made a vivid DECLARATION, saying – BLESSED IS SHE THAT BELIEVE FOR THEY SHALL BE A PERFORMANCE OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE SPOKEN TO HER BY THE LORD. We know later both women gave birth to their baby – the IMPOSSIBLE becomes POSSIBLE for them. The Scripture in John 1:14 said the WORD became FLESH – [meaning becomes TANGIBLE, and dwell among HUMANITY]. What was the WORD spoken, when BELIEVE upon – CONCEIVED and WATERED by FAITH unwavering DECLARATION, it then BECOME tangible – a reality. For FAITH is ACTING on what you BELIEVE accordingly of God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE.

“And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.

I say again to you, THAT YOUR BLUE PRINT for YEAR 2024, DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN IT? or is it as one of those NEW YEAR RESOLUTION or RELIGIOUS DOGMAS to certify your curiosity and fleshy satisfaction?

May I say to you that –  When and what you can CONCEIVE of God by His WORD and go FORTH DECLARING it, you INITIATE and CREATE the atmosphere for your needed ANSWER to MAKE you BECOME it – that is, to make it tangible and a reality in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 5:1-2]. Just be ASSURED that today in Christ Jesus, we have the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY and the ASSURED HOLY SPIRIT living in us, to give the enabling we need to BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] and to bring FORTH [bring about a DELIVERING] through DECLARATION of that which we CONCEIVED of God in our blueprint. Therefore, SEARCH the Scriptures to find the BELIEVING SCRIPTURES to your BLUE PRINT.

I pray that by God’s grace you will BECOME your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have MERCY on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, YEA, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their EYES WERE OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

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

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ASHAMED. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the same Lord over all is RICH UNTO ALL that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without WAVERING; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

“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.

“I will STAND upon MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall ANSWER when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord ANSWERED me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that he may RUN THAT READETH it. 3 For THE VISION IS YET FOR AN APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall SPEAK, and not lie: THOUGH IT TARRY, WAIT FOR IT; because it will SURELY COME, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“WE HAVE ALSO A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a DARK PLACE, until THE DAY DAWN, and THE DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For THE PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“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.

“Now THANKS be to God who ALWAYS LEADS [CAUSES] us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us DIFFUSES [SPREADS, REVEALS] THE FRAGRANCE of His KNOWLEDGE in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14/NKJV.

“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.

“This is the DAY the Lord has MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24/NKJV.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED [TRANSLATED] us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“But THANKS be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“And I fell at his feet to WORSHIP Him. And he said unto me, See thou DO IT NOT: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

“But the PATH of the just (righteous) is like the LIGHT OF DAWN, That shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its FULL STRENGTH and GLORY in] the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18/Amplified

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longingRE which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

“I THANK my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy faith may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Ye 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.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and its EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every place in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 5:21.

“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.

” But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us,

that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.
