OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: Preach CHRIST, Preach The WORD – There Would Be JOY In The City Of Your Being!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t\nbe Mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – It’s the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN\nINNERMOST QUEST – yesterday, today and tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We live today in the times of pandemic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds, while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE – for all hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nlikelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse\nor accuse or transfer aggressions to others. And some will take advantage of\nothers by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have\nholds over them in their vulnerability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nwhat people needs today in the midst of the situations, circumstances and\nchallenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in\ntheir hearts, family and communities; and much more the HOPE, FAITH and LOVE\nthat can well out of their darkness as fountains with peace, worth,\nblessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. Hence a person of the\nHEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, is of a great need and demand for today’s\nchallenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\na person of the HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH CHRIST,\nPREACH THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of one’s and or people challenges\nand circumstances in order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the\nindividual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s\nchallenges and changing times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\nthe Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City\nof SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery\nand divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The\nLiving WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil,\nhatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY\nas God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts\nof the Samaritan City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nmake bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom\nof God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH CHRIST,\nPREACH THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and\nmore importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world.\nFor that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nam been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change\nin your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE\nWORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you\ncare about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it!\nLive it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” <\/em>Romans 1:16-17<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” <\/strong><\/em>Romans 1:16.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY. . . “<\/em> Acts 8:1-20.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\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”<\/em> Galatians 1:3-5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” <\/em>2 Corinthians 4:6-7.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
