OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING, BUILDING UP AND ENSURING OUR PRECIOUS FAITH!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 1:1.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE and ENSURE that\u00a0which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of – silver, gold,\u00a0diamond\u00a0and such like. And they will\u00a0actually contend\u00a0earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, dignified,\u00a0preserved\u00a0and kept away from rots and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and cohort intent to their TREASURED are kept at bay from their treasures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, we live in times when scandals loom everywhere,\u00a0unfortunately\u00a0even\u00a0in the Christian FAITH.\u00a0Some, like\u00a0ESAU of the Old Testament,\u00a0have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE,\u00a0thereby losing their\u00a0BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING as written in the Holy writs –\u00a0[Hebrews 12:15-17\/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37].<\/b>\u00a0While in some other cases, the defraud is enormous and people have been betrayed, blackmailed and some killed through greed,\u00a0covetousness\u00a0and wickedness to get at what they want, even in high places of trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately,\u00a0today some will\u00a0want\u00a0to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to help them keep\u00a0staying\u00a0in their statuesque irrespective of the circumstances. Others will\u00a0want\u00a0to\u00a0acquire\u00a0things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ\u00a0can’t\u00a0handle just to show off, keep\u00a0pacing, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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\u00a0all\u00a0them which are SANCTIFIED”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 20:32.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by love through the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts –\u00a0[Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 5:6].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your precious FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH\u00a0actually PRECIOUS\u00a0to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.\u00a0[Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your precious FAITH, you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING\u00a0that’s\u00a0living or non-living.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world –\u00a0[1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0time to take away the PRECIOUS FAITH from the VILE if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH in use to advance His cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay –\u00a0[Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21].<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD and ENSURE your PRECIOUS FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 1:1.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the COMMON SALVATION, it was needful for me to write unto\u00a0you and\u00a0exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ”\u00a0<\/i>Jude 1:3-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING up yourselves on your most HOLY FAITH, praying IN THE HOLY GHOST”<\/i>\u00a0Jude 1:20.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication IN THE\u00a0SPIRIT and\u00a0watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 6:18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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 . . . 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”\u00a0<\/i>1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH of LIFE:\u00a0in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy RIGHT hand there are PLEASURES for evermore”<\/i>\u00a0Psalms 16:11.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the light of dawn,\u00a0that\u00a0shines brighter and brighter until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the perfect day”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:18 AMPLIFIED.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou TAKE FORTH THE PRECIOUS FROM THE VILE, THOU SHALT BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Jeremiah 15:19.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Nevertheless\u00a0the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And,\u00a0let\u00a0everyone\u00a0that NAMETH the name of Christ\u00a0depart\u00a0from INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL UNTO HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET (QUALIFIED) for the master\u2019s use, and prepared unto every\u00a0good work”\u00a0<\/i>2 Timothy 2:19-21 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
