THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH 

THE EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF THE FAITH: IS EMBEDDED IN – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – YOU HAVE IN THE GRACE! 

“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. 

The genuine COMMUNICATION [PROFESSING, CONFESSING, DECLARING , ANNOUNCING, PROCLAIMING] of your FAITH in doing life and living godly, has gracious and graceful effect; and the gracious and graceful effect is in you POSSESSING [OWNING, ACKNOWLEDGING] in your rights and privileges of God in REDEMPTION, of the PROFESS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead to any context in doing life and living godly under God. 

It therefore means that you CAN’T just ACCLAIM to be able to COMMUNICATE [PROFESS, PROCLAIM, DECLARE and CONFESS] effectually to affirm to the FAITH in Christ Jesus, wherein all things work together for the good, when you have NOT RESOLVED genuinely to the PROFESSING of the FAITH within you unreservedly and without reservation and adulteration. You can only MAKE GOOD out of the GOOD WITHIN you on that which you’ve ACKNOWLEDGED in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written: 

“That the COMMUNICATION [DECLARATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION, SHARING, TESTIFYING, TESTIMONY, PROFESSING] of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine. 

The simple truth in life is this – God is not mocked and can’t be deceived by mere religious believe and dogmas – hence there’s the need to have THE UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE – of who God is, and who you’ve become of Him in Christ Jesus stead, in all matters of life context; this is to help indicate your stand in the grace and you can then stand in that grace to BECOME who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead and not in another, in all matters about doing life and living godly. Having the understanding of your stand in the grace gives you the leverage you need in your onward and upward trajectory to stand out and emboldened from others, in you to fulfil purpose in the Gospel as Apostle Paul did acknowledged in the context of the scripture below. 

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should BUILD UPON ANOTHER MAN’S FOUNDATION: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.” Romans 15:20-21. 

Therefore, know today that your effectual communication of the faith – is embedded in – “THE UNDERSTANDING” – you have in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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. 

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised” Hebrews 10:23. 

“Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION. 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 LET US THEREFORE COME BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and FIND GRACE TO HELP IN TIME OF NEED” Hebrews 4:14-16. 

“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 10:9-13. 

“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. 

“Be not DECEIVED; God is not MOCKED: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” Galatians 6:7. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises that EFFECTUAL COMMUNICATION OF FAITH is rooted in understanding one’s position in God’s grace.  

Key Points: 

• Genuine communication (professing, confessing, declaring) of faith in Christ Jesus leads to gracious outcomes. 

• This happens when you acknowledge and possess the good things God has given you in Christ (Philemon 1:6). 

• You can’t just claim faith without genuinely resolving to live it out unreservedly. 

• God isn’t mocked; He wants you to know and understand your standing in His grace. 

• Understanding your position in grace gives you leverage to stand bold and fulfill purpose in the Gospel (Romans 15:20-21). 

Scriptural Focus: 

• Philemon 1:6 – Communication of faith becomes effectual through acknowledging God’s work in you.  

• Romans 5:1-2 – Justified by faith, we stand in God’s grace. 

• Hebrews 10:23, Hebrews 4:14-16 – Hold fast to your profession of faith. 

The message encourages believers to grasp their standing in God’s grace, leading to bold and effective communication of faith.
