BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE: YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BECOME\u00a0IN\u00a0CHRIST JESUS STEAD!\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave\u00a0He\u00a0POWER [RIGHTS, ENABLING, ABILITY] TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name\u201d<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>John 1:12\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even\u00a0in\u00a0thy MOUTH, and\u00a0in\u00a0thy HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING]: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE\u00a0in\u00a0thine HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 10:8-10\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

FAITH is Acting correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such, BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is passive while FAITH is active. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the currency of exchange and transactions\u00a0in\u00a0the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus – our Saviour and Lord. Amen.\u00a0That\u2019s\u00a0why your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world is\u00a0very important\u00a0to make your FAITH effective and efficient through acknowledging everything God has done\u00a0in\u00a0you\u00a0in\u00a0redemption\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT – PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is\u00a0IN\u00a0you\u00a0IN\u00a0[BY REDEMPTION] Christ Jesus”<\/i>\u00a0Philemon 1:6\/Emphasis Mine.\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor this is the love of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 WHO is he that OVERCOMETH the WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?\u201d<\/i>\u00a01 John 5:3-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You need to know full well that –\u00a0it’s\u00a0WHAT\u00a0you BELIEVE\u00a0that\u00a0determines\u00a0your functionality\u00a0in\u00a0the Kingdom and\u00a0in\u00a0your\u00a0ability to OVERCOME\u00a0life\u2019s\u00a0challenges. It thus means, you ARE a PRODUCT of your\u00a0BELIEVING world. And if I may ask you today and right now – What do you BELIEVE\u00a0IN\u00a0(ADHERED TO, ACKNOWLEDGED) more? Do you BELIEVE\u00a0in\u00a0mere – men, religion, dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy,\u00a0rudiments,\u00a0and tradition of this world….\u00a0or\u00a0God’s scriptural and eternal,\u00a0authoritative, prevailing, undiluted and unadulterated WORD? You need to know that \u2013 YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE\u00a0BECAUSE OF WHAT\u00a0YOU\u2019VE BELIEVED\u00a0UNTIL NOW.\u00a0You BECAME saved\u00a0because you BELIEVED. And you RECEIVE ANSWERS to PRAYERS\u00a0because\u00a0of your BELIEVE. BELIEVE\u00a0and\u00a0be\u00a0SAVED.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them”\u00a0<\/i>Mark 11:24\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying,\u00a0Do\u00a0thyself no harm: for we are all here.\u00a029 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and\u00a0fell down\u00a0before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they\u00a0spake\u00a0unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were\u00a0in\u00a0his house . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Acts 16:25-34.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop blaming others for where\u00a0you\u00a0are.\u00a0It’s\u00a0your responsibility and accountability\u00a0to move forward\u00a0in\u00a0FAITH.\u00a0Your state of being\u00a0is\u00a0a result of\u00a0what\u00a0you’ve\u00a0BELIEVED and\u00a0still\u00a0BELIEVE. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again\u00a0to\u00a0BECOME your reality\u00a0in\u00a0God’s WORD that saves,\u00a0or\u00a0you will be living\u00a0in\u00a0the sphere of fake, falsehoods,\u00a0adulteration\u00a0and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE,\u00a0YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT\u00a0IN\u00a0FAITH\u00a0– BY\u00a0ACTING\u00a0IN\u00a0FATE\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus\u00a0asked two blind men\u00a0(Matthew 9:27-30)<\/b>,\u00a0\u201cwhat do you BELIEVE?\u201d\u00a0Their answer\u00a0made\u00a0Him\u00a0say, \u201cLet it be according to your faith.\u201d What\u00a0they\u00a0BELIEVED\u00a0was rooted\u00a0in\u00a0WHOM\u00a0they BELIEVED\u00a0in. And that triggered and activated their FAITH,\u00a0and they\u00a0acted on it. They RECEIVED healing as they ACTED\u00a0on their BELIEVE. They BECAME\u00a0WHAT they BELIEVED,\u00a0because of\u00a0WHOM they BELIEVED\u00a0in\u00a0– God.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when Jesus\u00a0departed\u00a0thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he\u00a0was come\u00a0into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able\u00a0To\u00a0Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then\u00a0TOUCHED he\u00a0their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying,\u00a0See\u00a0that no man know it\u201d\u00a0<\/i>Matthew 9:27-30\/Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is\u00a0your\u00a0FAITH born out of\u00a0what you\u00a0BELIEVE to BECOME?\u00a0it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE,\u00a0and RECEIVE heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it\u2019s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before\u00a0taking\u00a0any step you consider\u00a0FAITH\u00a0in\u00a0the Kingdom\u00a0–\u00a0if you want the heavens to\u00a0align\u00a0with\u00a0your EARTHLY affairs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality\u2014faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence\u00a0in\u00a0the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put\u00a0in\u00a0order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:1-3, 6\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I plead\u00a0with\u00a0you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING \u2013\u00a0all things are POSSIBLE to those\u00a0who\u00a0BELIEVE\u00a0\u2013 all\u00a0things are\u00a0always\u00a0POSSIBLE\u00a0with\u00a0God\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus stead. Amen.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut Jesus looked at them and said, \u201cWith people [as far as it DEPENDS on them] it is impossible, BUT WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE\u201d\u00a0<\/i>Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27]\/AMP.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 9:23-24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord”<\/i>\u00a0Luke 1:45.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“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”<\/i>\u00a0Hebrews 11:6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?\u00a0he\u00a0that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0Father, and the\u00a0Father\u00a0in\u00a0me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the\u00a0Father\u00a0that dwelleth\u00a0in\u00a0me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0Father, and the\u00a0Father\u00a0in\u00a0me: or else BELIEVE me for the very\u00a0works\u2019\u00a0sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask\u00a0in\u00a0my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified\u00a0in\u00a0the Son”<\/i>\u00a0John 14:9-13.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH\u00a0in\u00a0him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED\u00a0in\u00a0the name of the only begotten Son of God”<\/i>\u00a0John 3:16-18.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7. Know\u00a0ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying,\u00a0In\u00a0thee\u00a0shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that\u00a0hangeth\u00a0on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one\u00a0in\u00a0Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ\u2019s, then ARE ye Abraham\u2019s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE”\u00a0<\/i>Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith\u00a0in\u00a0God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt\u00a0in\u00a0his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you,\u00a0What\u00a0things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them”<\/i>\u00a0Mark 11:22-24.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“For what saith the scripture?

Cometh\u00a0this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS”<\/i>\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Romans 4:3, 6-9.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
