YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT”\u00a0<\/i>1 Chronicles 12:32.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are, by the GRACE, and wherein you STAND in Christ Jesus\u2019 stead, Amen. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at these present global challenges in ECONOMICS, WAR, POLITICS and PANDEMICS – and the consequences of these happenings on individuals, families, communities, nations, and globally\u00a0are having\u00a0a great effect. Lots of families and nations are\u00a0on ECONOMIC meltdown, with job losses and bereavement. \u00a0Businesses are\u00a0remodeling\u00a0to suit the\u00a0times;\u00a0except individuals awake to innovate, create,\u00a0initiate, and explore – just businesses are manoeuvring,\u00a0KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING\u00a0the changes in times. For these businesses are making intentional efforts to upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING the\u00a0various ways\u00a0of doing life with the changes in time, knowing it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become stable by stalling.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The man that WANDERETH OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION OF THE DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE, OBSCURED, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, MEAN)”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, CHALLENGING)”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 13:15.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and\u00a0to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over.\u00a0It’s\u00a0God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we\u00a0have to\u00a0awake through understanding our times in grace.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”<\/i>\u00a0Galatians 1:3-5.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s\u00a0UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create,\u00a0initiate\u00a0by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within\u00a0[Hebrews 11:1-3]<\/b>. It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have\u00a0not\u00a0heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals –\u00a0([Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]<\/b>.\u00a0It’s\u00a0time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it\u00a0over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My earnest PRAYER\u00a0is that\u00a0you, as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY\u00a0win each by the grace\u00a0of God wherein they stand.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, THE EVIDENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the worlds were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which DO APPEAR . . . 11But 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 11:1-3, 6.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, AND MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, THAT HE MAY RUN THAT READETH IT. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is\u00a0lifted up\u00a0is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH”<\/i>\u00a0Habakkuk 2:1-4.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, and ARISE from the DEAD (Idling, noise, unpreparedness), and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, because the days are EVIL (Challenging). 17 Wherefore be ye not\u00a0unwise, but\u00a0UNDERSTANDING WHAT THE WILL OF THE LORD IS”<\/i>\u00a0Ephesians 5:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Therefore\u00a0being 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\u00a0STAND, and\u00a0rejoice in HOPE of the GLORY of God”<\/i>\u00a0Romans 5:1-2.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 21:31.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (Honour, Dignity); he shall not STAND before MEAN (Obscure, Vague, Uncertain) men”<\/i>\u00a0Proverbs 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“The PLANS and REFLECTIONS of the HEART BELONG TO MAN, But the [wise] ANSWER of the tongue is from the Lord . . . 9 A MAN\u2019S MIND PLANS HIS WAY [as he journeys through life], But the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS and ESTABLISHES them<\/i>”\u00a0Proverbs 16:1, 9 (Amplified).<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
