SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Rejoice evermore. 17 PRAY WITHOUT CEASING. 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.

“Do not be ANXIOUS or WORRIED about anything, but in EVERYTHING [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7/Amplified.

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT [GIVE UP, BE WEARY LOSE HEART]; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8/Emphasis Mine.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Feed The Hungry, Cloth The Naked And Visit The Sick!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath FAITH, and have not WORKS? CAN FAITH SAVE HIM? 15 If a brother or sister be NAKED, and DESTITUTE of DAILY food, 16 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are NEEDFUL to the body; WHAT DOTH IT PROFIT? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone” James 2:14-17.

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory.  32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.  33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left.  34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  35 for I was HUNGRY and you gave Me FOOD; I was THIRSTY and you gave Me DRINK; I was a STRANGER and you TOOK Me in;  36 I was NAKED and you CLOTHED Me; I was SICK and you VISITED Me; I was in PRISON and you CAME to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You HUNGRY and FEED You, or THIRSTY and give You DRINK?  38 When did we see You a STRANGER and take You in, or NAKED and CLOTHE You?  39 Or when did we see You SICK, or in PRISON, and COME to You?’  40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:  42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink;  43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, NAKED and you did not CLOTHE Me, SICK and in PRISON and you did not VISIT Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a STRANGER OR NAKED OR SICK OR IN PRISON, AND DID NOT MINISTER TO YOU?’  45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’  46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life” Matthew 25:31-46.

“If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To VISIT THE FATHERLESS AND WIDOWS IN THEIR AFFLICTION, and to keep himself unspotted from the world” James 1:26-27.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do BELIEVE And RECEIVE The SAVING GRACE of God In Christ Jesus!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE.  17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who BELIEVES in Him is not CONDEMNED; but he who does not BELIEVE is CONDEMNED already, because he has not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them He GAVE the POWER (RIGHT) to BECOME children of God, to those who BELIEVE in His name:  13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this is the RECORD, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which LIVETH and ABIDETH for ever” 1 Peter 1:23.

“. . . 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is BORN of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN” John 3:1-7.

“And there are three that bear WITNESS in earth, THE Spirit, and THE water, and THE blood: and these three agree in one” John 3:8.

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

THE HOW TO DEAL WITH DISPUTABLE MATTERS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH: MATTERS PERTAINING TO LIFE AND GODLINESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN IN A FAULT, ye which ARE SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself” Galatians 6:1-3

In our course to fulfil the cause of grace as pertaining to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, there are certain misnomer that may arise that are more of human creation than are scriptural in context. And in relative term may create contradiction in the general faith of the individual, local and universal body of Christ Jesus. And the context is not about what happened, or has happened or is happening but how we go sorting an answer to enable us to stay in the freedom wherein Christ has  made us free in REDEMPTION. It is the know-how context we need to addressed and be addressing by and by, in ensuring and assuring all that ARE of God in Christ Jesus, can then be found in their feet to a wholesome stand in the faith, and by the grace of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

“It was for this freedom that Christ set us FREE [COMPLETELY LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed] . . . 6 For [if we ARE] in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but only FAITH ACTIVATED and EXPRESSED and WORKING through LOVE” Galatians 5:1, 6/Amplified.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, ACQUITTED of sin, declared blameless before God] by FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] grace in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/Amplified.

Herein are my takes in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT for the good and goodness on us, and on how to deal and be dealing with MATTERS that are in dispute and contentious in the Christian faith. These set out principles are SCRIPTURALLY healthy, in order to stay SCRIPTURALLY balance in the CONTEXT of disputes, disputed and contentions amongst us in the Faith, if you must avoid errors and the extremely offs, at all ends of the Christian faith as Jesus caution the sectarianism of His days in humanity.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR [ERRONEOUS, MISTAKENLY], not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 [Mark 12:24]/Emphasis Mine.

And, I am certainly confident that when you follow the principle guidances, which I know are of the Holy Spirit, you can RESOLVE without been in extreme disputes and contention in the Christian FAITH. It has SAVED me severally from day zero of giving myself to do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. So, when dealing with matters that of any serious contention and disputes, these are the keynotes to approach such matter, in order to keep your being in Christ Jesus safe in the FAITH, without hurting self or another in Christ Jesus stead: Herein are the three basic PRINCIPLES to apply in all situations and circumstances of disputes and contentions:

** IN ESSENTIALS: DO PURSUE UNITY

** IN NON – ESSENTIALS: DO ALLOW LIBERTY

** IN ALL THINGS: DO ENSURE LOVE – CHARITABLE LOVE CAUSE

It’s a high time to always get APPROVED of God as JESUS CHRIST in His stead, and not on men’s APPLAUD that’s of sentiments and prejudice that leads to all manners of dissemination – Acts 2:22; 2 Timothy 2:15. You need to BUILD your FAITH based on God’s WORD, in order to get His APPROVAL in principle and not in sentiments and prejudice and then be free from hypocrisy and sectarianism. For Men’s APPLAUD legislate and are of sentiments and prejudice and it’s not based on the principle of God’s WORD in Christ Jesus stead. Men’s APPLAUD are, as seen in among religious zealots and sectarianism, denominational dogmas and creeds, man-made legislative make-belief, traditions sect settings of men by-laws and such like, as seen telegraph in many current situations in the world today. Don’t be entangled with any person in matters, where many thinks that GAINS is equal to GODLINESS and SPIRITUALITY with their disputation and prejudice and sectarianism. 1 Timothy 6:1-6; 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

Be WATCHFUL and VIGILANT before you are eluded by men in titles, status and gains. Be always, constantly and fervently LED of the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God in Christ Jesus stead, for anything else is religion and man-made make belief and sectarianism.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“RECEIVE one who is WEAK in the FAITH, but not to DISPUTES over DOUBTFUL things. 2 For one BELIEVES he may EAT all things, but he who is weak EATS only vegetables. 3 Let not him who EATS despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has RECEIVED him. 4 Who are you to judge another’s servant? To his OWN MASTER he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is ABLE to make him stand. 5 One person ESTEEMS one day above another; another ESTEEMS every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who OBSERVES the day, OBSERVES it to the Lord; and he who DOES NOT OBSERVE the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For NONE of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But why do you JUDGE your brother? Or why do you show CONTEMPT for your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written: “As I live, says the Lord, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God.” 12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men. 19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may EDIFY another. 20 Do not DESTROY the work of God for the SAKE of food. ALL THINGS indeed are PURE, but it is EVIL for the man who EATS with OFFENSE. 21 It is good NEITHER to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother STUMBLES or is OFFENDED or is MADE WEAK. 22 DO YOU HAVE FAITH? Have it to YOURSELF before God. HAPPY is he who DOES NOT CONDEMN HIMSELF in what he APPROVES. 23 But he who DOUBTS is CONDEMNED if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for WHATEVER is not from FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:1-23.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God” Romans 8:14.

“. . . 3 If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is ACCORDING to GODLINESS; 4 he is PROUD, knowing NOTHING, but DOTING about questions and STRIFES of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN is GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:1-6.

“As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, 4 NEITHER GIVE HEED TO FABLES AND ENDLESS GENEALOGIES, WHICH MINISTER QUESTIONS, RATHER THAN GODLY EDIFYING WHICH IS IN FAITH: SO DO. 5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from WHICH SOME HAVING SWERVED HAVE TURNED ASIDE UNTO VAIN JANGLING; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. 8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; 9 knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust” 1 Timothy 1:3-11.

IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD: YOU ARE GOD’S BEST!

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

Don’t think or live less than what God is done, is doing and will do in you in Christ Jesus – for you are God’s BEST knowingly and unknowingly.

For you are the reason while the earth was made. Henceforth, you need to keep COMMUNICATING your FAITH effectually, with shoulders high, head up and on your high heels of faith in grace in Christ Jesus stead. Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8.

When God made all things He created, He said, they were GOOD but when He made man, the them – male and female, He said, they were VERY GOOD, meaning, He’s very BEST, hence you are God’s BEST irrespective. Speak well to live well, think well of yourself, and walk the walk of who you ARE in Christ Jesus stead; and not what religion, tradition, denomination, sectarian settings wants to make you be or purport you to be to suit their limitations of your WORTH in Christ Jesus. You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a PECULIAR person, set to show forth the praises of God that has delivered you and taken you out of the dark and darkness of this world into His marvelous light of glory and virtue.

I pray that you will starts up now living in the SCRIPTURAL consciousness of who you are in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 2:9-10.

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED [DELIVERED] us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED [TRANSLATED] us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

“Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me. 12 I HAVE MADE THE EARTH, AND CREATED MAN UPON IT: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded” Isaiah 45:11-12.

“What is MAN, that thou art MINDFUL OF HIM? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast MADE HIM a little lower than the angels, and hast CROWNED him with glory and honour. 6 Thou MADEST him to have DOMINION OVER THE WORKS OF THY HANDS; thou hast PUT ALL THINGS UNDER HIS FEET . . .” Psalms 8:4-8.

“And God said, Let us make MAN in our image, after our likeness . . . 27 So God created MAN in his own image, in the image of God created he him; MALE AND FEMALE created he them.  28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over . . . 30 And God saw every thing that he had MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. . .” Genesis 1:26-31.

DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN

DID YOU SAY YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN: KNOW YOU THEN THAT YOU ARE BORN OF GOD AS CALLED!

“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they ASSEMBLED themselves with the church, and TAUGHT much people. And the DISCIPLES were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch” Acts 11:26.

A CHRISTIAN you say you ARE? Know then that you ARE born of God and you ARE God’s vehicle and vessel of change, in changing and influencing lives and making an effectual difference for the good of others, for God in Christ Jesus stead. And your being born of God means then you ARE Christ FOLLOWER, SOLDIER of Christ, Christ WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. You can ARISE today and let it be – who you are in God.

My first understanding of the word ‘CHRISTIAN’ as to becoming a Christian is to understand that:

*It is a nickname given to those who are followers, witness and Missionary of Christ as in the book of Acts epistles. Acts 11:26; Acts 26:27-29; 1 Peter 4:15-17.

*And when you take the word CHRIST out of the word CHRISTIAN, you are left with ‘IAN’. And ‘IAN’ means to me – ‘I AM NOTHING’. Meaning, one is of no WORTH, but ONLY in WORTH, because of Christ in you and you in Him. Otherwise, it’s religion, sectarianism, dogmas and religious bondage and tradition of men.

Christ Jesus NEVER called His own born of God children the term – Christian, instead He called us as in scriptural context – DISCIPLE, FOLLOWER, SOLDIER, WITNESS, MISSIONARY and AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The word Christian is an illusion that has been purported for too long that what it designated then at the first use toward followers of Christ Jesus is not what it does indicates and represents to many people today. Loads claims to be Christian’s because they found themselves in one religious Church while they live contrary to the context of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus stead.

Are you just called a Christian or you are indeed a – DISCIPLE, FOLLOWER, SOLDIER, WITNESS, MISSIONARY and an AMBASSADOR of God in Christ Jesus stead. It’s your choice to align yourself today for your reality in God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch” Acts 11:26.

“King Agrippa, BELIEVEST thou the prophets? I know that thou BELIEVEST. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou PERSUADEST me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I WOULD TO GOD, THAT NOT ONLY THOU, BUT ALSO ALL THAT HEAR ME THIS DAY, were both ALMOST, and ALTOGETHER such as I AM, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29.

“But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a CHRISTIAN, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:15-17.

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us . . .” 2 Corinthians 5:20.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a SOLDIER” 2 Timothy 2:1-4.

BE TRANSFORMED – GRAB A COPY: THE BOOK – THE REALM OF REVELATION – Living Beyond Doctrines And Man-Made Make Believe, Traditional Dogmas And Philosophical Rudiments!

There are too much INFORMATION and less TRANSFORMATION, and this is a result of the lack of REVELATION – Insights and foresights. For the HOLY WRIT was not meant to be for just a mere INFORMATION but for the TRANSFORMATION unto PERFECTION –  MATURITY, WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS and FULFILMENT – in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Timothy 3:14-17. The lack of REVELATION keeps people out of illumination – insights and foresights – of God’s enabling.

The Book – THE REALM OF REVELATION – answers the quests. Do yourself a favour and get a copy. Selah!

It’s your time for the REVELATION SENSE – the SIXTH SENSE, the sense beyond the COMMON SENSE of the FIVE SENSES: The SENSES of – Seeing, Hearing, Touching/Feeling, Tasting and Smelling.

You need to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY by REVELATION SENSE in order to ENACT and APPROPRIATE in essence the FULNESS of the BLESSEDNESS in the HEAVENLY PLACES made available for us in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 9 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, yea, the DEEP THINGS of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 16 And Simon Peter ANSWERED and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus ANSWERED and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for FLESH and BLOOD hath not REVEALED it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

“But I certify you, brethren, that the GOSPEL which was PREACHED OF ME IS NOT AFTER MAN. 12 FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAn, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION of Jesus Christ . . .15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16 to REVEAL his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood . . .” Galatians 1:11-24.

“Therefore LEAVING the PRINCIPLES of the DOCTRINE of Christ, LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, FULNESS and MATURITY); not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit” Hebrews 6:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are able to make thee Wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT (MATURITY, WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS and FULFILMENT), THROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (Emphasis Mine)

“Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples TRANSGRESS the TRADITION of the elders? . . . 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 and honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye MADE the COMMANDMENT of God of NONE EFFECT by your TRADITION” Matthew 15:1-2, 5-6 (Emphasis Mine).

LIVING FOR THE GOSPEL CAUSE – GOD IS FAITHFUL: HIS PROMISES STANDS ASSURED IN HIS PURPOSE!

** IN GENERAL:

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

** IN CHRIST JESUS:

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might destroy the works of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.

** FOR ME AS IN APOSTLE PAUL:

“Beside those things that are without, that which COMETH upon me DAILY, the CARE of all the churches” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

“Yea, so have I STRIVED to PREACH the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon ANOTHER man’s FOUNDATION” Romans 15:20.

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL the WORDS of this LIFE” Acts 5:20

“And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: 5 not that we are SUFFICIENT of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our SUFFICIENCY is of God; 6 who also hath MADE us able MINISTERS of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life” 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.

“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” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: AND I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND!

“. . . 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land . . .” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

Our God of the heavens and the earth and beneath the earth, that  rules and reigns in domain of mankind, is in the full business of wholeness for His people and to as many as are willing and determined in obedience without prejudice to turn toward Him by FAITH in Christ Jesus, through His WORD by the Holy Spirit – who is at work to ENSURE and ASSURE that the whole default of God for the New Creation in Christ Jesus are in wholeness, completeness, fulness, and perfectness irrespective. This is why to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” concept it’s eminent in our unstable world at all levels today.

For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS, and will only EMPOWERS only on His given PURPOSE/CAUSE and will only ENSURE what He ASSURED to either an individual or a people toward a nation; and to bring about the healing and prosperity so much desired at any given generation or dispensation to ensure peace and tranquility without prejudice. And the best positioning to ENSURE and ASSURE that God’s intent is at work it’s when His chosen people take to the stand concept to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – make a literal obedience as He has instructed in Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore being 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 STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

For God’s commands, assignments, orders, instructions and such like, are not an advice but a default demand in love to enable Him have the leverage to act on our behalf – in all matters that pertains to life (doing life) and godliness (living godly), in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, concerning us.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, OVERBEARING]” 1 John 5:3.

“GRACE and PEACE be MULTIPLIED unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN unto LIFE [DOING LIFE] and GODLINESS [LIVING GODLY], through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath CALLED us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding GREAT and PRECIOUS promises: that by these ye might be Partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the CORRUPTION that is in the WORLD through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

Think of Jonah for an example, who was given an instruction and assignment of a specific command to carry out in order to save and bring about the healing and health of the nation of Nineveh. He took God’s instructions and order for granted as if it’s an advice, and nearly paid for it with his own life. How opportune he was for a second chance, because not all can have such levels of mercies that he received from God to then obey the given instructions again – this is after he took to the sea hide outs that vomited him to the shore probably thinking he can outsmart God, or God is only of the heavens and the earth and not of the beneath the earth – as many are repeating today.

“Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 ARISE, GO to Nineveh, that great city, and CRY against it; for their WICKEDNESS is come up before me. 3 But Jonah ROSE UP TO FLEE unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord” Jonah 1:1-3.

The scriptural context of 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, thus indicates God’s good intent to heal the land/nation of His people; His instructions in the scriptural context, is in order to make His people a vehicle in the change to make whole and to prosper their land/nation accordingly; and God was plain to layout there the default clauses to follow which invariably lies in the hands of His chosen people, the Church of God to literally do – to act upon. For God’s people are chosen people, designed with the default to bring about the reality and tangibility that the world craves to have pending the second coming of Christ Jesus, the Saviour and Lord. 1 Peter 2:9-10; Deuteronomy 7:6. It’s by this willingness of the Chosen People to take their position to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate and assignment, that will bring about the genuine peace and healing of our nation’s and our land for prosperity.

“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 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth . . .” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born again Believer’s that are Spirit-filled and are govern exclusively by the WORD of God, under the leadership of a Shepherd who is under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And each time God wants to make a major change and shift on earth, He works along with His people – who are the chosen generation, the peculiar people, the royal priesthood. And it’s up to His chosen people to let God’s instructions be for victory and triumph, or to keep playing around with God’s mandate as Jonah of Nineveh did, by taking God’s instructions for an advice to be obeyed or thrown into the trash. Such obscured decision to undermine God’s decision can only obstruct their own happiness and prosperity and the healing of the the land and nation that are there as their dwelling places. Psalms 33:12 tells how much God is relying on the people for their own healing.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

God’s intervention to any nation wholeness lies upon the Church readiness and willingness as God’s chosen people to be obedient and to act along the scriptural context that addresses of the nation ills as it affects them accordingly. For salvation and healing will always first begin within God’s chosen people to avoid them suffering while others are enjoying the fulness of God.

So, how ready are you today, even now to take the challenge to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, instead of thinking it’s someone else responsibility and accountability and not yours. It’s time to be  principled and intentional to take your place of stand with God SCRIPTURALLY and not giving excuses and making it someone else’s – for you are God’s OWN, God CHOSEN to show forth His PRAISES of goodness through you for the good of others until Christ Jesus returns while you have your time to do your part in the wholeness of individual, local and national ills

It’s my utmost PRAYERS for you to find your place and fulfil PURPOSE by the empowering and endorsement of God upon your life as His chosen one and not as the runner – Jonah of Nineveh. 

SCRIPTURAL TEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

“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 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 but because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: FOR THOU WAST SLAIN, AND HAST REDEEMED US TO GOD BY THY BLOOD OUT OF EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have CHOSEN this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attend unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.
