This is to ensure our fulfilling of purpose meaningfully in order to access and receive Father God BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For in Him we live and move as His offspring in grace. Acts 17:24-28.
“. . . 28 for in HIM we LIVE, and MOVE, and have OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his OFFSPRING”
And now, it’s our Time and Month to use our PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and COLOUR THE WORLD’S we EARNESTLY desired and wants to see daily in LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:1-4. It’s your creative, innovative and exploring timeline and timeless opportunity to ensure that your well-being is an OUTCOME of your PRECIOUS FAITH in God by Christ Jesus stead and not an OUTCOME outside the TENET of your PRECIOUS FAITH – otherwise it will be religion, dogmas and further bondages – (Galatians 5:1, 13; Galatians 3:1-14)
The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION, is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which gives us rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. Not only are we REDEEMED from these effects, we were and are ushered access to RECEIVE of God in Christ Jesus stead: POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOUR, GLORY, and BLESSING (Revelation 5:9-12; Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-8).
The REDEMPTION ACCESS of God for us in Christ Jesus stead (Romans 5:1-2), TRANSFORMED (TRANSLATED, TRANSFIGURED) and POSITIONED us in His enabling grace from a SINNER to a SAINT; and therein we can now OFFER unto God a gracious and graceful WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY in the FELLOWSHIP of His CHURCH. This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us firstly His in this wise:
“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” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.
Jesus in humanity INCREASE in His worlds sphere in – Wisdom, Physique, Favour With God and Favour With Men (Luke 2:52). He made known that He was/is in a beautiful and colour relationship that is unique with Father God of which we also have access to same Father God in creation and in Him today. For as He is so are we today in this world as in the Holy Writ. (1 John 4:17-18; John 10:30-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 1:26-27); ( Ephesians 3:14-15; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30).
God has given us BEAUTY for ASHES, OIL OF JOY for MOURNING and GARMENT OF PRAISE for THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS. He has also MADE us TRESS of RIGHTEOUSNESS – a planting of His own making, that He might be GLORIFIED (Isaiah 61:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:11; Romans 10:15).
Why LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ: God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21).
With REPENTANCE towards God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, you have access to all that’s good and goodness, BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in God (Acts 20:21; Romans 5:1-2; Mark 11:22).

This FAITH enables you to OVERCOME all the forces that are in and of the world been orchestrated by the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3; Habakkuk 2:4; 1 John 5:3-5).
