FESTIVE MOOD: KNOWING THE WHAT VS KNOWING THE HOW – TO PRAY! 

“And it came to pass, that, as he was PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, TEACH us [HOW] to pray, as John also TAUGHT his disciples” Luke 11:1/Emphasis Mine. 

It’s not enough to KNOW-WHAT the Scriptures Says, what’s MOST IMPORTANT is the KNOW-HOW to ENACT and APPROPRIATE the Scriptures into your day-to-day acts of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

In same scenarios, you need to know also, it’s not enough to KNOW-WHAT to PRAY for, but it’s much better to KNOW-HOW to PRAY for that need; for it’s this reason the HOLY SPIRIT of the KNOW-HOW is there to HELP us in the OUGHT. Hence, in the Festive MOOD, you need to ensure you KNOW THE HOW as you KNOW THE WHAT to do in the SEASON with the REASON – Christ Jesus – Saviour and Lord. Amen. 

The disciples of Jesus Christ witness how He prays and gets results and things done whilst they yet pray and get to nowhere. And since it bothers them and of paramount importance, then they ask him to TEACH them on the HOW to pray which He eventually did. [Luke 11:1-11]. 

And the Holy Spirit is given to us today in the same scenario, to help us in our prayer life on HOW we OUGHT to pray especially during this season that we are witnessing by the grace of God. For while we indeed know WHAT to pray for in respects to the various needs before us, we do lack the full knowledge and understanding on the HOW we OUGHT to pray for such needs to get results as earnestly desired and expected. 

So, while we are in this pressure of Festive mood, it’s imperative we pray aright, so that we get the fulness of joy that transcends and surpasses what’s before us in life and godly living. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 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 16:12-14.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINES

By Leave a Comment

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU! 

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decision and action you’ve made and are making in cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that has befallen you in cause of time or is befalling you now.. 

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or was into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that makes no difference. 

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus stead, have NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way. 

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking for self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat. 

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energises one to BECOME in life and grace. 

I want you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of been negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments. 

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how you are RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus. 

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be bless accordingly. And I pray for God’s grace upon you, wisdom and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW. 10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10. 

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my fathers have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . ” Luke 15:11-31.

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

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

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

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

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD GIVEN RESOURCES WITH RESOLVES

MAXIMISE YOUR GOD GIVEN RESOURCES WITH RESOLVES: TIME, EFFORTS [MENTAL/PHYSICAL EXERTION], FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] AND PEOPLE!
 
Are you keen to live in the realm of a More Than CONQUERORS? Also keen To SUCCEED? Keen To EXCEL and be ABOVE ONLY? Keen To THRIVE Instead of SURVIVE? Here is the WISDOM NUGGETS guide for now, for your today and tomorrow.
 
“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.
 
I want you to know that a colourful and thriving life is a place of graciousnesss, gracefulness and loveliness; however, it’s not a give away otherwise the beggar [slothful and sluggard] will ride with ease, hence it’s not cheap and not for the lazy, sluggard [slothful] and idlers. It is for the RESOLVES to succeed, excel and to be above only, with a PRAGMATIC and INTENTIONAL plan, purpose and pursuit, and to BECOME in the grace, in order to attain to the fulness of God’s testament for them; for whatever had no process it’s an act of fraud, hence there’s the need to MAXIMISE your God given basic RESOURCES to do life and live godly in the grace and these are – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT] and PEOPLE; and experiencing the colourful and thriving life in the grace is possible as you earnestly and meaningfully endeavour to endorse, ensure and be assured of your set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in the grace – for that’s to enable you to create, innovate, initiate and explore the resource of grace within you effortlessly and unhindered; also, with the enabling leverage toward an onward, upward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [1 Corinthians 2:9-10; Romans 8:28-30].
 
The knowing that ‘YOU ARE OF GOD’, “BELOVED OF GOD” and “BELOVED BY GOD” makes you readily and steadily able to succeed, triumph, win and overcome and be a more than conquerors that’s living victoriously, in life and godliness. And that makes colourful and thriving life accessible, and more so, the knowing that the GREATER ONE lives within you. [1 John 4:4-16].
 
Therefore, it’s imperative to let your TIME, EFFORT, FINANCIAL, MATERIAL and PEOPLE resources count and account for your good. For “SUCCESS IS FAILURE TURN INSIDE OUT”, which is a result of one respecting the opportunity to diligently and prudently utilised one’s given resources: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL and PEOPLE. This also means you can become what you want to be if you walk in wisdom with your God given resource in your day to day PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.
 
It is on this platform that one can also become A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, live a COLOURFUL and THRIVING life instead of being a SURVIVAL which some like to ascertain for self-pity I guessed.
 
I pray you abound BLESSED. Be EMPOWERED to SUCCEED as a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen! You ARE BELOVED and MORE THAN – Don’t Live For Less In REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“There is a season (a time appointed) for everything and a time for every delight and event or purpose under heaven . . .11 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 longing 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 3:1, 11/Amplified.
 
“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.
 
“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.
 
“Whoso KEEPETH the COMMANDMENT shall FEEL NO EVIL THING: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.
 
“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9 A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9.
 
“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean(Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“He who TILLS (CULTIVATES) his land will have PLENTY of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough! 20 A FAITHFUL man will ABOUND with BLESSINGS, But he who HASTENS to be rich will not go unpunished. 21 To show partiality is not good, Because for a piece of bread a man will transgress. 22 A man with an EVIL eye HASTENS after RICHES, And does not consider that poverty will come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22/NKJV.
 
“The horse is PREPARED against the DAY OF BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.
 
“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.

CHRISTMAS MOOD: KNOWING THE WHAT VS KNOWING THE HOW – TO PRAY!

CHRISTMAS MOOD: KNOWING THE WHAT VS KNOWING THE HOW – TO PRAY!

“And it came to pass, that, as he was PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, TEACH us [HOW] to pray, as John also TAUGHT his disciples” Luke 11:1/Emphasis Mine.

It’s not enough to KNOW-WHAT the Scriptures Says, what’s MOST IMPORTANT is the KNOW-HOW to ENACT and APPROPRIATE the Scriptures into your day-to-day acts of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In same scenarios, you need to know also, it’s not enough to KNOW-WHAT to PRAY for, but it’s much more better to KNOW-HOW to PRAY for that need; for it’s this reason the HOLY SPIRIT of the KNOW-HOW is there to HELP us in the OUGHT. Hence, in the MOOD of Christmas, you need to ensure you KNOW THE HOW as you KNOW THE WHAT to do in the SEASON with the REASON – Christ Jesus – Saviour and Lord. Amen.

The disciples of Jesus Christ witness how He prays and gets results and things done whilst they yet pray and get to no where. And since it bothers them and of paramount importance, then they ask him to TEACH them on the HOW to pray which He eventually did. [Luke 11:1-11].

And the Holy Spirit is given to us today in the same scenario, to help us in our prayer life on HOW we OUGHT to pray especially during this season that we are witnessing by the grace of God. For while we indeed knows WHAT to pray for in respects to the various needs before us, we do lack the full knowledge and understanding on the HOW we OUGHT to pray for such needs to get results as earnestly desired and expected.

So, while we are in this pressure of Christmas mood, it’s imperative we pray aright, so that we get the fulness of joy that transcends and surpasses what’s before us in life and godly living.

THE NEED TO PRAY

By Leave a Comment

THE NEED TO PRAY: PRAYING IS HUMBLING YOURSELF BEFORE GOD ON HIS WORD – AND KNEELING INDICATES BEING PURPOSEFUL, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING AND MORE!

“We should PRAY when we are in a PRAYING mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should PRAY when we are not in a PRAYING mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.”  – Charles Spurgeon.

There’s the NEED to PRAY and the NEED in making it your PERSONAL AND INESCAPABLE OBLIGATION and not SOMEONE else. Don’t be a PRAYER DISTRIBUTOR person and or COLLECTION CENTRE, but a KNEELING Believer in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. For KNEELING indicates – Winning, Dominion, Thriving, Victory, Overcoming, Triumph and More Than CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In the PRAYER acts of C. Spurgeon, I have met people with the URGED to PRAY but took the opportunity for granted for other activities, and had suffered the consequences of their spiritual neglects.

I’ve met also people who create no time to see praying or prayers as their SPIRITUAL responsibility and accountability, and have had the consequences of taking their spiritual responsibility and accountability for granted.

However, I’ve seen people who took time to PRAY when the urge to PRAY is done on them, and who also take PRAYERS and PRAYING as their personal spiritual responsibility and accountability and not someone else, even when the urge is not there; and through PRAYERS, they have averted adversities and kept at bay the ENEMY and COHORTS; and through PRAYERS, the good and goodness of God’s BLESSEDNESS have come their way and that of others they had prayed along for and with, quietly and or publicly.

Don’t take your act to PRAYERS and PRAYING for granted. Don’t make it someone else RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOUNTABILITY – make them yours. It’s time to know your God and be with Him in PRAYERS to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay and have the heavens at your answer.

There’s is the need to PRAY – for PRAYING is humbling yourself before God on His WORD – and KNEELING indicate PURPOSEFULNESS, WINNING, DOMINION, THRIVING, TRIUMPH, FULFILLING and MORE THAN CONQUERORS in CHRIST JESUS stead.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 AND AS HE PRAYED, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“If I shut up heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I command THE LOCUSTS to devour the land, or if I send PESTILENCE among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine EYES shall be open, and mine EARS attent unto the PRAYER that is MADE in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decisions and actions you’ve made and are making in the cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that have befallen you in the cause of time or are befalling you now.

And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus’ stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.

For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to a higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be blessed accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom, and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“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.

“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.

“Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a WISE man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:5.

“The PREPARATIONS of the heart in man, and the ANSWER of the tongue, is from the Lord. 2 All the WAYS of a man are clean in his own eyes; but the Lord WEIGHETH the spirits. 3 Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established . . . 7 When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord,  he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him. 9 A man’s heart DEVISETH his way: but the Lord DIRECTETH his STEPS” Proverbs 16:1-3, 7, 9.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before kings (Honour, Dignity, Noble); he shall not STAND before mean(Obscure, Unproductive) men” Proverbs 22:29.

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING

EARNESTLY DESIRE THE PRINCIPAL THING –  [WISDOM] – IN YOUR PASSION: THAT’S THE PATH TO GRACIOUSNESS AND GRACEFULNESS!

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them RECORD that they have a ZEAL of God, but not ACCORDING to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s righteousness, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN righteousness, have NOT SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

To have ZEAL, being zealous, otherwise called PASSION is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – it’s full of foolishness, frustration and equally erroneous too [Romans 10:1-4]. A mere zealous or zealousness or just being passionate can create mistaken atmosphere due to pure ignorance especially in context of matters except there’s knowledge in the passion of which Jesus rebuked the Sadducees of their erroneous and mistaken acts to the context of resurrection as an example.

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [DO ERRONEOUSLY, MISTAKENLY], NOT KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:29 [23-33].

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance, pride and rudeness. The place of knowledge cannot be taken lightly in every phase of doing life and living GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. Knowledge emancipates and delivers from all forms of stupidity, ignorance and foolishness.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

But where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together, therein is the WISDOM to do life and much more, the WISDOM to be accomplished and fulfilled in life, will always show up. Proverbs 4:5-7.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Get WISDOM, get UNDERSTANDING: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:5-7.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS  is HARD [DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE]” Proverbs 13:15/Emphasis Mine.

“Good UNDERSTANDING wins FAVOR, but the WAY of the TRANSGRESSOR is hard [like the BARREN, DRY soil or the IMPASSABLE swamp]” Proverbs 13:15/AMP Classic Edition.

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

“A man who WANDERS from the WAY of UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) will REMAIN in the ASSEMBLY of the DEAD” Proverbs 21:16.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decision and action you’ve made and are making in cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that has befallen you in cause of time or is befalling you now.

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or was into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that makes no difference.

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus stead, have NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking for self gratification, self pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.

I wants you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of been negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many  have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your day break or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your day break. Ponder thoughtfully and be bless accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW.  10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.
