PREPAREDNESS: MARK OF BEING READY TO RUN! 

For an effectual and efficient PREPAREDNESS in the grace, there’s the need to be intentional and pragmatic to “WRITE THE VISION DOWN – MAKE IT PLAIN – “READ BEFORE YOU RUN”; and by a wise and diligent preparation in the Word of grace, through FAITH and PATIENCE, you can then enhance and be delivered to your inheritance. 

BLESSEDNESS. 

SCRIPTURAL READING FOR YOUR THOUGHT. 

“The Lord gave the WORD: great was the company of those that PUBLISHED it”. Psalms 68:11. 

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are sanctified” Acts 20:32. 

“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. 

“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. 

“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.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE FULFILLED: THROUGH THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD – AND NOT BY ANY DEFINED METHODS!

“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.

Success to me is failure turned inside out. It’s the ability and capacity of using God’s word in context, and in principle to cause a failed state to become a successful state again. Anything otherwise is  abuse, scam and fraud. For in life, ABUSE means – ABNORMAL [ABNORMALLY] USE of anything in principle against the expectations. It’s a result of being uninformed of the PURPOSE of a thing. There’s ABUSE in almost in every places in life – abuse of individual or people, position, relationship, family and marital life, power, material resources [money, time and effort], opportunities and facilitating materials  and such like.

An example of an abusive atmosphere can be found in marriages. In some marriages, because majority of time most people are not properly INFORMED of the PURPOSE of MARRIAGE they abuse their spouses. We see often how much resources are spent in FORTUNES  in terms of – Time, Money, Material, People and Efforts – in preparing for a day WEDDING; while those concerns make no adequate preparation to ensure an assured life journey; and in some cases, those involved are not properly INFORMED with the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT, for them to be successful of the intended MARRIAGE;  and that marriage itself it’s supposedly to be a lifetime journey in grace, till death do either or both apart. And yes, everyone clamour for success and excellence but challenges the principles in terms to keep them responsible and accountable to their desired causes in context and content.

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN [ERRING], not KNOWING the Scriptures [PRINCIPLE OF GODLY LIVING] nor the power of God”  Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

It’s because of some people’s failing state in principle on the purpose of a thing, that’s why we see  many in-fighting today and abuse within; and many unnecessary reasons being given for divorce or divorcing each other respectively. And thus, happenings that OUGHT not to be, especially in a Born Again Believer in Christ Jesus’ home. And unfortunately in most cases, where children are available, they get them innocently involved, and that has created an incomprehensible and unimaginable devastating and depressing state of mind for the children in such marital relationship. Some will have their children abused irrespective, for same lack of informed state in context, in principle and in purpose, of being blessed with these blessed children. A fulfilling life is more than mere wishes otherwise any will have it with ease. It’s built and achieved through the principles laid out in God’s word in context. That’s how the content can be materialised and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully in the grace.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall have PLENTY OF BREAD: but he that FOLLOWETH AFTER VAIN PERSONS shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-24.

“He that TILLETH [CULTIVATED] his land shall be SATISFIED with bread: but he that FOLLOWETH VAIN PERSONS is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11/Emphasis mine.

The KNOWLEDGE of a thing empowers and emancipates. It helps to make an informed decision by the word of God and to fulfil purpose in context and content. While IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASED [AN UNEASE] place and position that is worse than a cancerous disease of any sort. For by it many talents, vision and dreams to enhance life and godly living has ended up in the GRAVEYARD unfulfilled. And in some cases has created a failed individual in a failed family in a failed community in a failed society; and robbing such of creativity, innovation and the power to initiate and explore opportunities to greatness that’s fulfilling in purpose and principles of the world desired to behold.

“Truly, these times of IGNORANCE God overlooked, but now COMMANDS all men everywhere to REPENT (change of heart), 31 because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31/Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only recover and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you discover the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING WORD of God to that your intended VISION. This is profound when one takes light from Habakkuk 2:1-4 especially the verses 2 which states:

“. . . And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it . . .“.

The scripture in Habakkuk did not say – He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ, but rather said – “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH“; which thus Mean, NO READING, then, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances. The principle herein is this – you have to READ in order to know and understand; you need to acquire or be fully informed of the context and principle; you need to obtain the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the said VISIONED CONCEPT – that is, to have the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that intended life vision, which could be in these terms but not limited to:

  • Executing a Business/Enterprise,
  • Pursuing a Career,
  • Positioning a Ministerial Gospel Ministry,
  • Pursuing governance in Politics/Government
  • Pursuing Leadership in any Management
  • Pursuing matters of Marriage/Relationship
  • Pursuing any such like matters though not mentioned that pertains to life and godly living.

When you don’t read before you run as Scripturally set as a principle for greatness and fulfilling purpose, then failure and frustration awaits; just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations; simply because of their RUNNING ahead by their mere ZEAL or PASSION, without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND, the FULNESS at hand of what it takes in their VISIONED CONCEPT.

I plead with you today, to make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING it again before RUNNING with it. Your greatness in principle and purpose is enviable when the Scriptural context to the content is taken into consideration. Therefore, as you set your day’s PLANS PURPOSES AND PURSUITS, endeavour to ensure to be assured, by READING to UNDERSTAND before RUNNING with it. BE WELL INFORMED TO EXPERIENCE GENUINE TRANSFORMATION to a fulfilled life in the grace.

God wants you to both SUCCEED and be FULFILLED – only it’s by PRINCIPLE and not by METHOD. For what may apply to one case may not apply to another hence application by METHODS will fail in most cases while application by PRINCIPLE will always triumph.

Have a gracious and graceful moment in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO SUCCEED AND BE MEANINGFULLY FULFILLED: AND IT’S BY THE PRINCIPLE OF THE WORD AND NOT BY METHODS!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/Emphasis Mine.

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

There’s an awaiting daily TRIUMPH, VICTORY, OVERCOMING and being A MORE THAN CONQUEROR for you in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. However, in life we are faced daily by THE POWER OF CHOICE . . . and that’s to BECOME by THE WORD of God, or by our fleshly self make-up belief, or by man-made religious secularism or sectarianism and such like. For God’s WORD is IRREVOCABLE in all His promises . . . Hence, to BECOME in those desired yearnings of your heart by the enabling POWER of self CHOICE in IGNORANCE of THE WORD of God is DEADLY, FRUSTRATING, UNPRODUCTIVE , DIFFICULT and DESTRUCTIVE. Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

IGNORANCE is not just bad enough, but a DIS-EASED (UNEASE) place and position that is worse than cancerous diseases of any sorts – which God abhorrest and winked at. [Acts 17:30-31]. For it breeds stupidity and foolishness and arrogance. For by IGNORANCE, many talents, vision, dreams, aspirations and such like, that are needed to enhance life and godly living, has ended up in the graveyards UNFULFILLED. And those by chance to amanced anything by ignorance, have ended up in a deadly place of unproductivity as it’s thus written:

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (IGNORANCE, FOOLISHNESS, STUPIDITY, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

In life as a child of God, you can only RECOVER and enter your place of greatness and fulfilment when you DISCOVER the PRINCIPLE of the WORKING of THE WORD of God. This is profound when one takes ight from Habakkuk 2:2 which states:

“And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and MAKE it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it“.

The scriptures did not say “He that RUNS or RUNNETH may READ” but rather that “He MAY RUN that READS or READETH”. Meaning NO READING, NO RUNNING, no matter the prevailing circumstances about you. The principle there, is this,  that you have to READ in order to acquire the required KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of the VISIONED CONCEPT for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory direction, that is to say, to obtain the clarity to enable you WALK in WISDOM before running with that life vision of Business, Career, Ministry, Leadership, Governance, Marriage (Marital-Relationships), Friendship-Relationship and such like the more.

If otherwise you RUN before you READ to know and understand the road map of your ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, then failures awaits, just as many have fallen and become victims of their own creations. It’s because of their RUNNING by a mere zeal or passion without READING to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the fulness at hand of their VISIONED CONCEPT. Simply know the truth that a good understanding breeds favour, productivity, efficiency, effortlessness and calmness as it’s written:

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (IGNORANCE) is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE, STRESSFUL)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

Today, make amends, RE-EVALUATE your vision by READING again before RUNNING.

THE POWER OF CHOICE – To BECOME By The WORD Is BLESSEDNESS . . . And To BECOME By IGNORANCE Is DEADLY.

Have a graceful and blessed day.

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

THE CHOICE OF BEING FULFILLED IN CHRIST: TO BEING FULFILLED IN LIFE And GODLINESS – VERSUS – BEING SUCCESSFUL!

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

Obedience to the heavenly mandate have a lot to do with FULFILMENT in Life and godliness in Christ Jesus. And the choice of being FULFILLED in life and godliness (godly living) is one great factor worth considering in the race of being SUCCESSFUL.

Can you afford to move from a place in pursuit of GLAMOUR SUCCESS TO A DESERT PLACE IN LIFE? But such could be a place of FULFILLMENT indeed. It’s about following God’s approved PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT for your life and possible ministry rather than just having a mere SUCCESS for men applaud.

A person in pursuit of a MERE SUCCESS inclination will find it extremely difficult to leave a GLAMOUR place (position) to attend to a single person ministry especially to such one in the DESERT (remote) place as accomplished, by Philip the Evangelist (Acts 21:8) as instructed by the Lord God. And such obedience to DIVINE order and instructions, is only possible of a person of and for FULFILMENT; that’s a follower of God’s plan, purpose and pursuit – the one who truly will believe in WHOLENESS and will go WHEREVER the Lord LEADS as Philip did in Acts 8 – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”.

WHAT IS YOUR WORTH IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS? or How do you WORTH yourself in life and godly living in Christ Jesus? Is it by material achievement called SUCCESS or by being ACCOMPLISHED in God’s given vision and mission called FULFILMENT in His assignment.

Are you just a mere crazy SUCCESS driven inclination person or a person of FULFILMENT in the heavenly assignment. Note for sure that SUCCESS is good and it’s of God (Joshua 1:8). Unlike success, FULFILMENT is not just only of God, but it’s a place of being readily, willingly and obediently set to accomplish in the wholeness, completeness and fulfilling of the Lord’s – PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS – in LIFE and GODLY living. Doing this unhindered and uncompromised with any sorts outside God’s intent, as Apostle Paul did in obedience (Philippians 3:1-16), and exhorted, admonished and charged Archippus to likewise do also as written in the Holy Writ of Colossians 4:17 and Acts 26:19.

It’s about living a God DRIVEN PURPOSE LIFE, that brings about MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, which is far beyond – just being SUCCESSFUL.

FULFILMENT is in CONTINUOUS OBEDIENCE to God’s APPROVED plan, purpose and pursuit. And OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate is far better than SACRIFICE – Isaiah 1:19; 1 Samuel 15:23.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And say to Archippus, TAKE HEED to the MINISTRY which thou hast RECEIVED in the Lord, that thou FULFIL it” Colossians 4:17.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not DISOBEDIENT unto the HEAVENLY VISION” Acts 26:19.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; JESUS OF NAZARETH, A MAN APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came unto Cæsarea: and we entered into the house of PHILIP THE EVANGELIST, which was one of the seven; and abode with him” Acts 21:8.

“. . . Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which PHILIP SPAKE, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord SPAKE unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED UNTO HIM JESUS. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; AND HE BAPTIZED HIM . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the LAND” Isaiah 1:19.

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall spend their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“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” 1 Samuel 15:23.

“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way PROSPEROUS, and then thou shalt have GOOD SUCCESS” Joshua 1:8.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!
 
“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.
 
The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.
 
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4.
 
The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.
 
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid” Proverbs 30:18-19.
 
The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.
 
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
 
The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:
The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION
The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS
The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS
The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY
The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE
The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING
The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER
The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY
The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING
The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT
. . . and such like.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
 
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
 
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
 
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 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 2:4-10.

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!

THE EAGLE WAY: IT’S ABOUT – VISION TO MISSION!
 
No MISSION can ever be comprehensive and achievable when there’s no VISION to it. Thus indicating – IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION.
 
Leadership MISSION is only authentic as the VISION. It’s disastrous to LEAD WITHOUT VISION and to FOLLOW anybody with NO VISION, otherwise you will both perish in the MISSION. There’s no room for speculations where human life’s, money, time and materials are involved. A clear cutting-edge vision will always sustain mission no matter how long it takes and the opposition and challenges that will be involve.
 
The Eagles are known to be visionary, because of its highly sighted eyes. Foresight and insight is the great attributes that characterised this awesome creation of God. Hence it can take on it’s prey on the ground from its grandstand gliding sky with a calculated mission in such a grand style.
 
Where there’s leadership without vision, mission collapses, resulting the waste of finance, material, time and people. Hence, where there’s no vision, the mission of the family, marriage, relationship, business, career, ministry, government, governance, leadership and such like collapses. Infact, ANOINTING WILL BECOME ANNOYANCE due to the frustration of the mission; but by the indwelling Holy Spirit in you for insight and foresight, you can COLOUR your worlds and ENSURE the atmosphere you want to enjoy as VISIONED and VISUALISED.
 
So have a VISION, WRITE IT DOWN, THEN MAKE IT PLAIN – meaning endeavour to KNOW and UNDERSTAND it, READ it to your hearing for FAITH to BUILD UP before you RUN with it. DON’T RUN BEFORE YOU READ IT IN ORDER TO BUILD UP THE NEEDED FAITH TO WIN AND TRIUMPH WITH IT.
 
REMEMBER – READ BEFORE YOU RUN
 
IF THERE’S NO VISION – THERE SHOULD BE NO MISSION
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.
 
“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.
 
“In the year that king Uzziah died I SAW also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine EYES HAVE SEEN the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I HEARD the voice of the Lord, saying, WHOM SHALL I SEND, and who will go for us? Then said I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, GO, and tell this people, HEAR ye indeed, but UNDERSTAND not; and SEE ye indeed, but PERCEIVE not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

PREPAREDNESS – Plan, Purpose & Pursuit

PREPAREDNESS – Plan, Purpose & Pursuit: WRITE The VISION Down – Make It PLAIN – He That READ Might RUN Gracefully And Graciously!

The ROAD MAP writ is set for DECADE 2020S VISION which is Themed: DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE – “Being SIGNIFICANT By The LIVING WORD”. And same spirit of ROAD MAP is set for YEAR 2020 which is Themed: YEAR of EXALTATION – LIVING THE EXALTED LIFE! “A Year Of Thriving In The Consciousness Of God’s Righteousness In Christ Jesus For A Greater, Colourful, Purposeful, Meaningful And Fulfilling Life”.

DILIGENCE – to Do LIFE by Smart Working rather than to Do LIFE by Hard Working, in a steady and consistent principle is born out of the breath of PREPAREDNESS. Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6.

PREPAREDNESS is the principle born through the act of PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. It’s more than a mere RESOLUTION, but a strategic set goal or goals, driven with passion sometimes called zeal, through knowledge and understanding with set time and judgment. Proverbs 16:1-9; Ecclesiastes 8:5.

Write the Vision/Goal down, make the write simple and understandable, that those that READ may RUN with a clear sense of direction and necessary obligations in terms of responsibility and accountability. For where there’s no clear sense of set direction for a VISION, people perish, materials are wasted, effort and talent/skill are undermined and underutilised, and time is wasted and lost.

Kingdom Business as in many Civic Business demands adequate and conscientious planning before execution. Hence am glad in CEFMORSI MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL that embodies – 42nd Generation Foundation, Redemption Life Churches (Worldwide), Achievers FAITH Digest, CEEMORSI International and Chukie Morsi Books – are set for DECADE 2020S and YEAR2020 with the VISION WRIT.

The PREPAREDNESS to PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT is to get the Vision, write it down, Make Vision Plain – Simple, Read To Know The Vision, Understand The Vision For Wisdom, Then Run Graciously and Gracefully. This enables one to do LIFE and GODLINESS (GOD LIVING) effortless, without sweat, and in God’s GRACE and FAITH.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS FOR PONDERING:

“Where there is NO VISION, the PEOPLE PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.

“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” Habakkuk 2:1-3.

“The HORSE IS PREPARED AGAINST THE DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT IN HIS BUSINESS? he shall STAND BEFORE KINGS; he shall NOT STAND BEFORE MEAN MEN” Proverbs 22:29.

“And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS?” Luke 2:49.

“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: AND A WISE MAN’S HEART DISCERNETH BOTH TIME AND JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.

TAKING ON THE DAWN YEAR

TAKING ON THE DAWN YEAR: WRITE GOD’S GIVEN VISION DOWN – READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU RUN – TO ATTAIN TO THAT DESIRED TRAJECTORY!

“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 (SIMPLIFIED, READABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE) upon TABLES (BLUEPRINT), 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/Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to DARE to LIVE and BECOME in His PURPOSE for your life in CHRISTLIKENESS [Being CHRISTLIKE] in EVERY PLACE in Christ Jesus stead; thus indicating, that wherever the sole of your feet should step upon, you can POSSESS for an inheritance in Christ Jesus stead. Amen [Joshua 1:3-9; Hebrews 6:10-12; Deuteronomy 1:6-8]. And to achieve and advance in this year, in God’s Kingdom mandate cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, and to fulfill PURPOSE meaningfully in LIFE and GRACE, you need to:

  1. WRITE the year set VISION DOWN
  2. MAKE it PLAIN – simplified and not in complexity
  3. READ to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the vision context
  4. RUN with GRACE, WISDOM and SPEED has been given in the BLUEPRINT in the principle of responsibility and accountability.

And when you can say the above vision layout in motion, you can then sing the Hallelujah songs! That’s the PRINCIPLE to apply in the heavenly mandate in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead if you must live in the CHRISTLIKENESS [Being CHRISTLIKE] otherwise you are out for self and such like.

Lets take a lesson from JESUS CHRIST [Luke 4:1-22] for our CHRISTLIKENESS [Being CHRISTLIKE], who have to live through PURPOSE to fulfil meaningfully the cause for which He was come to save and reconcile humanity to Father God as assigned [1 John 3:8; John 18:37, John 9:4; John 4:34]: One thing you can learn or take away from our Saviour and Lord Jesus, is this – that it’s healthier to take 30years where POSSIBLE to WRITE and READ the VISION as Jesus did, then RUN with the READ and UNDERSTOOD VISION as in His three and half years Ministry of fulfilling PURPOSE – the CAUSE that the Father God commissioned Him in His EARTHLY – HUMANITY – mandate.

It may seem 30yrs may be long, but it was rather BETTER than RUNNING aimlessly without purpose for thirty-three and half years as some may do and have been doing, and have no meaningful, purposeful, colourful and fulfilling heavenly backed up achievement, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. In Luke 4:1-22, He took His time to be LED by the Holy Spirit to SEEK the Father God for His PURPOSE on earth, rather than by self-ego and spiritual show off. And He returned [Luke 4:14] from that Father God’s presence in the POWER of the Holy Spirit that LED Him there and not in emptiness and noise making shadowing. And in Luke 4:16-20, the PURPOSE of Father God as received while with Him, was layed bare [out] and MADE known and manifest, with clarity [without distortion, adulteration, oblique or blurred etc] and opened, Scripturally based with context, for all to examined and be assured. And in Luke 4:22, He began to SPEAK FORTH, GRACIOUS WORDS, over the entirety of His set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to fulfill the vision caught for human redemption.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days He did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered . . . 14 And Jesus RETURNED in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. 15 And he TAUGHT in their synagogues, being GLORIFIED of all. 16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, AND STOOD UP FOR TO READ. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and RECOVERING of sight to the blind, to SET AT LIBERTY them that are bruised, 19 to PREACH the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE FULFILLED in your ears. 22 And all bare Him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:1-22.

I say to you that wants to live in CHRISTLIKENESS [Being CHRISTLIKE] in doing life and living godly, to take time out to note of any of this life touching matters about you that WORTH pondering and needs to be PURPOSEFULLY addressed in the context of PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT:

** Marital Worth adventures

** Business Enterprising Adventures

** Family Well-being Adventures

** Career Pursuit Adventures

** Ministerial Calling Adventures

** Political Governance Adventures

** Academic Acquisition Adventures

** Healthy and Healthy Living Adventures

** . . . and many such like.

All these mentioned above are WORTH pondering in the light of the SCRIPTURES for you to THRIVE in grace rather than being a SURVIVAL in SCRIPTURAL ignorance. Put your need as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in PRINCIPLE to make a blue print first so that SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS PONDERING IN CONTEXT will be meaningful and purposeful as you take on the dawn year all the way.

YOUR DAWN YEAR IS HERE – WRITE THE VISION DOWN – READ BEFORE YOU RUN – TO ENABLE YOU TO ATTAIN THAT SET TRAJECTORY YOU CRAVE TO OBTAIN IN LIFE AND GODLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 (SIMPLIFIED, READABLE AND UNDERSTANDABLE) upon TABLES (BLUEPRINT), 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/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . EVERY PLACE that the SOLE of your foot shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses” Joshua 1:1-3.

“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 BEHOLD, I HAVE SET THE LAND BEFORE YOU: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND WHICH THE LORD SWARE UNTO YOUR FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB, TO GIVE UNTO THEM AND TO THEIR SEED AFTER THEM” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.

THIS CHRISTMAS PREP – SIGHTING AND VISUALISING THE UPCOMING OF A NEW DAWN YEAR: STILL AT DECADE 2020’S – A DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS:

“Where there is no VISION, the PEOPLE perish: but he that keepeth the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.

“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” Habakkuk 2:1-3.

“The HORSE is PREPARED AGAINST the DAY of BATTLE: but safety is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBLE); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURE, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“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: 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.

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

EXCELLENCE IS PURE

By Leave a Comment

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

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

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, AND TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this: “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY DO AS LONG AS GOD STILL LOVES THEM’,  I begin to wonder what this life of grace has become to some, especially in the 21st century. Is it true that God STILL LOVES US IN FAITH NO MATTER WHAT WE DO? Who then will QUESTION the UNSAVED and what right do we have then to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the unsaved. Then the Scripture of Romans comes to mind, that we can’t continue in sin in the name of grace. And we can’t continue also in the fleshy [carnal] ways of doing life that’s contrary to the freedom we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus, as caution against in the Galatians scripture, otherwise we will be without guildrails to enable and ensure we stay secured in the grace from the enemy and cohorts intent on  our redemption.

“What shall we say [to all this]? Should we CONTINUE IN SIN and PRACTICE SIN as a habit so that [God’s gift of] GRACE may increase and overflow? 2 CERTAINLY NOT! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, CONTINUE to live in it any longer? 3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” Romans 6:1-3/Amplified.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do NOT BE SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only do not let your freedom become an OPPORTUNITY for the SINFUL nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.

Know full well that God LOVES us, but that does not mean He does COMMEND a life being lived outside His WORD. As I have always said time and again that our God will ONLY COMMEND what He had COMMAND and ORDERED. All things [good or bad] will work together for the good of those who not only love God BUT walk and do life according to the course of His Word in Purpose just as Jesus Christ did in humanity. [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12;  John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].

Many times, God’s purposes of excellence to us, is so clear before us, but we need to walk and work in the course of that envisioned covenant of His grace; and if one begin to do any act of life outside His Word, we will surely loose out in our place of grace to excel. Apostle Paul says this in Galatians 2:21 “I do not FRUSTRATE the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”. Meaning I do not do things that will make the GRACE of  God INOPERATIVE and INEFFECTIVE in my life. Amen.

An example of FRUSTRATING GRACE to rob one of EXCELLENCE in Christ Jesus stead is as this:

What happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for an envisioned excellency to attain, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives in the SCRIPTURAL context as found in Genesis 49:1-4. You can’t eat your cake and have it. Grace for EXCELLENCE is not cheap or not to be taken for granted and done with despite as Hebrews 10:29 warns and enjoins:

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace?”

When you look through the heroes of Faith in Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will noticed after Patriarch Jacob, the next name that comes is Patriarch Joseph instead of Patriarch Reuben, though he was his father’s excellency of dignity and first born worthy of double honour as the Scripture does recommend – Genesis 49:3; Deuteronomy 21:15-17; Genesis 25:31-33. That’s why you must be on guard on your ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE to avoid derailing in the grace of actualising your place in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead, of our REDEMPTION in Him. Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Ephesians 1:7 (Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your PATH OF LIFE to the ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE. [1 Timothy 3:9; Philippians 4:8]. Therefore, answer yourself this question – Is it Scriptural true, that, it doesn’t matter what people do simply because God loves them? – [Romans 6:1-4; Galatians 5:1, 13].

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“And Jacob CALLED unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 3 Reuben, thou art MY FIRSTBORN, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 unstable as water, thou shalt not EXCEL; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then DEFILEDST thou it: he went up to my couch” (Genesis 49:1-4).

“. . . By FAITH Isaac BLESSED Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.  21 By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, BLESSED both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.  22 By FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. . .” (Hebrews 11:20-22).

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

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, AND TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“Unto the PURE all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled” Titus 1:15.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” 1 Timothy 1:5-7.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.
