BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: That’s FAITH IN THE FAITH – To Beautify and Colour Your Worlds!

We live in a gracious and graceful time of human history with God in spite of the challenges and difficult time in the world. Unfortunately, lots of supposedly Believers in Christ Jesus, keep making unwarranted noise around towards their inability to enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of the FAITH, while in essence, they are not even ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH. You cannot have Faith in the FAITH that you are NOT intentionally committed to be established in it, and still wants to be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. God does no magic; He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS; and His COMMANDS are INSTRUCTIONS and not an ADVICE that you PICK and CHOOSE as in cherry garden.

Just as you cannot work in a National Post Office Services and it’s wage rating and you want to go and collect wages from the Civil Services pension pots, no matter how much interest you show toward it.

A lot of Christians are living in either of these: FAITH, PRESUMPTION, FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE).

It’s either you are living by FAITH in the Faith or you are living in PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE) in the Faith. The last two will not guarantee you the BLESSEDNESS of God in the Faith.

There’s therefore the need now for you to consciously and intentionally make effort to see you get yourself established in the Faith to ensure you are fulfilled, living purposefully and meaningfully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

Faith in the done deed of God in Christ Jesus gives you access to being ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

And when you are established in the faith, it becomes easier to be OBEDIENT to the Faith. And be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH, it becomes easier to COMMUNICATE THE FAITH.

And COMMUNICATING THE FAITH makes it gracious to beautify and colour your worlds in Christ Jesus stead.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the MUTUAL FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12. 

“Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek: 2 which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium. 3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek. 4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem. 5 And so were the churches ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, and increased in number daily” Acts 16:1-5.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

“. . . 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:5-6. 

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“And the TIMES OF THIS IGNORANCE God WINKED (OVERLOOKED) at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT (Change of heart attitude/behaviour): 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world IN RIGHTEOUSNESS by that man whom he hath ORDAINED; whereof he hath GIVEN ASSURANCE unto all men, in that he hath RAISED him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.
