THE “EVER INCREASING FAITH” TO VICTORIOUS LIVING: COMES BY “THE HEARING OF THE WORD\u00a0OF FAITH!”\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM (in broad and full understanding) and in STATURE [PHYSIQUE] and years, and in FAVOR with God [SPIRITUAL] and man [SOCIAL]”\u00a0<\/i>Luke 2:52\/AMPCE.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have come thus far in the grace, to know, to ensure, to insure and be assured in the cause and course of my life, that in the concept and context in the grace, that whatever I can’t find in Christ Jesus as regards my redemption must never be admitted into my cause and tenet of faith in God in Christ Jesus. For redemption is only as authentic and assured in the grace in what God has done, is done and doing in our life, and set to do through our lives in Christ Jesus, by the WORD and by the bestowed Holy Spirit of grace that’s given to us. Anything\u00a0else\u00a0is religiously created to hold people bound to rules and regulations\u00a0in order to\u00a0legislate faith and their faith with dogmas and traditional creeds and bylaws, which is unscriptural. For the only way and path to communicate faith for effectual results, to have productive effects is only in our acknowledging of that good and goodness in redemption, that God had and has done in us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0Philemon 1:4-6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW [it leads to Him and its purpose is fulfilled in Him], for [granting] righteousness to everyone who believes [in Him as Savior] . . . 6 But the righteousness based on faith [which produces a right relationship with Him] says the following: \u201cDo not say in your heart, \u2018Who will ascend into Heaven?\u2019 that is, to bring Christ down; 7 or, \u2018Who will descend into the abyss?\u2019 that is, to bring Christ up from the dead [as if we had to be saved by our own efforts, doing the impossible].\u201d 8 But what does it say? \u201cTHE WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart\u201d\u2014that is, THE WORD [the message, the basis] OF FAITH which we PREACH”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 10:4, 6-8 [1-10]\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, to authenticate the steadfastness in the faith as I spelt out in the first paragraph above, I found out that in the Holy Writ of\u00a0Luke 2:52<\/b>, the Scriptures indicated how Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord INCREASED and went INCREASING in four dimensions: Wisdom [Mentality], Physique [Physically], Spiritually [Favour with God] and Socially [Favour with men (non-gender)]. And this increased and increasing nature of Him\u00a0in\u00a0humanity,\u00a0that’s\u00a0to doing life as human [God in humanity], came as a process [journey] to becoming as\u00a0pertaining to\u00a0every human. [John 1:1-5, 14; Hebrews 5:5-11<\/b>].\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While and very likely in some quarters to obtain an increase or be increasing in four dimensions would be in our religious mindset, to lean towards just and only by praying and possibly fasting, for God to increase our Faith in our cause of doing life and living godly in His Kingdom cause. But when you closely see through the context of the Scriptures, you will notice that the progression and the onward and upward trajectory of increase and increasing was a consequence of Christ Jesus, SITTING to HEAR and LISTEN to the “The WORD” from the teachers of His time in a\u00a0customised\u00a0setting, which otherwise today can be deduced to Him, hearing and listening to “THE WORD OF FAITH” as shown in\u00a0Luke 2:46.\u00a0<\/b>For Jesus took time to SIT, HEAR and LISTEN on the EVER INCREASING WORD for Him to develop and increase on the ever INCREASING FAITH in humanity, which results is the four dimension experience in the grace as written:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 46 Three days later they found Him [Jesus] in the [court of the] temple, SITTING among the teachers, both LISTENING to them and ASKING them questions. 47 All who heard Him were amazed by His intelligence and His understanding and His answers . . . 52 And Jesus kept INCREASING in WISDOM and in STATURE [PHYSIQUE], and in FAVOR with God and men”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 2:41-52\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The increasing knowledge of Jesus should be seen as a basic foundation and fundamental truth to liberate you from the religious\u00a0mindset of sacrifices,\u00a0instead of giving our hearing hearts,\u00a0ears,\u00a0and listening spirit\u00a0to The WORD of God that affects any context of our doing life and living godly in the grace: Family, Relationship, Marriage, Leadership, Ministry, Entrepreneurship, Trade\/Skill development, Business, Government, Governance, Career Development and such like.\u00a0I have found in my journey in\u00a0the grace\u00a0that\u00a0there’s\u00a0a scripture word of faith\u00a0for every\u00a0human\u00a0need\u00a0when applied in context.\u00a0That’s\u00a0why\u00a0it’s\u00a0important to incline your EARS by giving your HEARING EARS to the SAYING of Father God to you\u00a0–\u00a0by the WORD and the Holy Spirit,\u00a0standing by\u00a024\/7 to illuminate our life in simplicity and tranquility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the PATH OF THE JUST [RIGHTEOUS] is as the shining light,\u00a0That\u00a0shineth more and more unto the perfect day . . . 20 My son, ATTEND TO MY WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21. Let\u00a0them not\u00a0depart\u00a0from thine eyes; Keep them\u00a0in the midst of\u00a0thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 4:18, 20-23.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One day, the Disciples of Jesus,\u00a0were\u00a0listening and hearing the word being spoken by Him, our\u00a0Saviour\u00a0and Lord Jesus Christ while in humanity, on the context of OFFENCE and FORGIVENESS. When Jesus was done speaking,\u00a0they\u00a0had\u00a0a craving [Hunger and Thirst] in their hearts for an INCREASE IN FAITH if they\u00a0were\u00a0to be\u00a0DOERS\u00a0OF THE WORD [James 1:22-25<\/b>]. They figured out that what the Master,\u00a0the\u00a0Teacher,\u00a0was teaching them as they\u00a0gave\u00a0their hearing and listening ears to, was beyond\u00a0human\u00a0achievement.\u00a0They know it will take the supernatural to make it happen for them\u00a0to\u00a0be\u00a0offended,\u00a0and\u00a0forgive,\u00a0and justify the offender\u00a0without sentiments,\u00a0prejudice\u00a0and dissimulation. And they know that the only supernatural agent to ease and make their request a reality and tangible is THE WORD OF GOD, otherwise named for this context – The WORD of FAITH. And THE WORD Of FAITH comes by the Hearing and continuously hearing the WORD of FAITH.\u00a0Thus,\u00a0it\u00a0indicates\u00a0that, a no\u00a0hearing and continuous\u00a0hearing,\u00a0means\u00a0a no\u00a0faith signature. For as life goes on,\u00a0there’s\u00a0a reason to keep HEARING and LISTENING to the WORD\u00a0in order to\u00a0communicate the faith to our\u00a0life’s\u00a0challenges like offence and forgiveness,\u00a0until\u00a0Christ Jesus second returns for His glorious Church – which is you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then said he unto the disciples,\u00a0It\u00a0is impossible but that OFFENCES will\u00a0come:\u00a0but woe unto him, through whom they come! . . . 3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother\u00a0trespass\u00a0against thee, rebuke him; and if he\u00a0repent, FORGIVE him. 4 And if he\u00a0trespass\u00a0against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt FORGIVE him. 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, INCREASE OUR FAITH . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 17:2, 3-5 [1-10]<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 10:8-10, 17.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But be DOERS OF THE WORD, and NOT HEARERS ONLY, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a HEARER OF THE WORD and NOT A DOER, he is like a man\u00a0observing\u00a0his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he\u00a0observes\u00a0himself, goes away, and\u00a0immediately\u00a0forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But he who\u00a0looks into\u00a0the perfect law of liberty and continues in\u00a0it, and\u00a0is not a forgetful hearer but a DOER of the work, this one will be BLESSED in what he does”\u00a0<\/i>James 1:22-25\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So Beloved, the answer to many questions and questionable things about our lives is\u00a0centred\u00a0on what we are hearing and giving our listening EARS towards. IS IT THE WORD OF FAITH OR GARBAGE? For, if you hear wrongly, you will believe wrongly and will act wrongly. Worst still, if\u00a0it’s\u00a0unscriptural, then\u00a0there’s\u00a0no basis of FAITH in operation about that subject or context with God; and\u00a0it’s\u00a0irrelevant and irrespective of who is teaching or speaking, as many are respecters of men and not of God\u00a0[Acts 10:34-35]<\/b>. Also, it\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0matter the decorations and religious coating and doctrinal and denominational inclusion in it – falsehoods, adulteration,\u00a0perversions\u00a0and distortion must never be\u00a0permitted\u00a0around\u00a0you if you want to experience the four dimensions as Jesus did for our example in\u00a0humanity. God’s word is pure. And makes someone\u00a0hearing\u00a0and\u00a0listening\u00a0to it pure.\u00a0There’s\u00a0no second guessing and\u00a0confusion\u00a0when the pure word of faith is spoken and heard with a\u00a0listening heartfelt ear\u00a0in the grace.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,\u00a0Of\u00a0a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH [REVERENCE] him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 10:34-35\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace\u00a0is able to\u00a0build you up and to give you the [rightful] inheritance among all those who are sanctified [that is, among those who are set apart for God\u2019s purpose\u2014all believers]”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 20:32\/Amplified.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So\u00a0today, I\u00a0urge\u00a0you to give your hearing EARS to the WORD OF FAITH, to ensure all that pertains to life and godliness in the grace that concerns you is ensured and assured through knowledge in the grace\u00a0[2 Peter 1:2-4<\/b>]. For THE WORD OF GOD’S GRACE, will build you up in the faith and give access to all set apart\u00a0Believers\u00a0of God in Christ Jesus stead. And may\u00a0the knowledge of the WORD OF FAITH\u00a0help\u00a0you increase, be strong,\u00a0victorious, triumphant,\u00a0an\u00a0overcomer and more than conqueror in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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

“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has given to us all things that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”<\/i>\u00a02 Peter 1:2-4\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR\u00a0LACK\u00a0OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I also will REJECT you from being PRIEST for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children”<\/i>\u00a0Hosea 4:6\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished,\u00a0And\u00a0their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore\u00a0Sheol\u00a0has enlarged itself\u00a0And\u00a0opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp,\u00a0And\u00a0he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down,\u00a0Each\u00a0man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled”<\/i>\u00a0Isaiah 5:13-15\/NKJV.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEIR GOD SHALL BE STRONG, AND CARRY OUT GREAT EXPLOITS”<\/i>\u00a0Daniel 11:32\/NKJV<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jesus answered and said to them, \u201cYOU ARE MISTAKEN, NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES nor the power of God”<\/i>\u00a0Matthew 22:29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is\u00a0as\u00a0the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE and MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) DAY. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble. 20 My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE thine EAR unto my SAYINGS. 21.\u00a0Let\u00a0them not depart from thine eyes; keep them\u00a0in the MIDST of\u00a0thine HEART.\u00a022. For\u00a0they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23. Keep\u00a0thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE”\u00a0<\/i>Proverbs 4:18-23 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But as it is WRITTEN, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that love him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things,\u00a0yea, the deep things of God”\u00a0<\/i>1 Corinthians 2:9-10.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For THE WORD of God is QUICK, and POWERFUL, and SHARPER than any\u00a0twoedged\u00a0sword, piercing even to the DIVIDING asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we\u00a0have to\u00a0do”\u00a0<\/i>Hebrews 4:12-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“We\u00a0having\u00a0the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also\u00a0BELIEVE, and\u00a0therefore SPEAK”<\/i>\u00a02 Corinthians 4:13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
