BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH

BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH: THE NEED TO TREASURE IT!

“Lay not up for yourselves TREASURES upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO” Matthew 6:19-21 (Luke 12:32-34).

I grew up knowing that one will always dignify, preserve, defend and protect what one truly and earnestly treasures in life and grace. And in same essence I can say that:

THERES THE NEED TO TREASURE YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH. AND THE ESSENCE OF BUILDING IT UP IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD IS GRACIOUSNESSS, GRACEFULNESS AND BLESSEDNESS.

And if I may ask of you today – How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? For I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE that which is PRECIOUS to them no matter what, especially in life matters as to – friendship, marriage, family, career, precious stones of silver, gold, diamond and such like. And they will actually contend earnestly to ensure that which they TREASURED is respected, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and will the more ensure that the enemy and cohort to their TREASURED substances, are kept at bay – I mean far away from their treasured acquisition and substances.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH, some as the ESAU of the Old Testament are already if not have SOLD their FAITH for a piece of PORRIDGE thereby lost his BIRTHRIGHT and the DEFAULT BLESSING accompanying it accordingly – Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. And in some cases, the defraud to their PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is enormous indeed.  some have been betrayed, blackmailed and Some have killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get to the acquisition they want in the high places of doing life and living godly. And all these and more done to acclaim or achieve statuesque and statesmanship without considering the effect to their one’s cherished PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH.

It’s very sad today, some will wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to keep to statuesque. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus have not been built up to handle, just to show off, keep to pace and or their bank balance and afterwards –  REGRETS privately and or secretly.

Let us not Forget that the JUSTIFIED in Christ Jesus, shall live by HIS OWN FAITH in the FAITH of Christ Jesus. And that the life in Christ Jesus is live by the FAITH which is of the Holy Spirit in God’s WORD and not by the SENSES (hear, see, smell, taste, feel) of the human fleshy desires and instincts – Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7.

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your PRECIOUS and MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY to you? Considering your desperation to BECOME and to POSSESS what you think you should have; and knowing full well the PATH to have it, is not of God; and it contravenes everything about your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH is preserved and protected,  you MUST not go to any length for whatsoever reason, to make it of NO EFFECT in the name of ANYTHING that’s living or non-living.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH alive – ablaze and aflame – through and through, in DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING, no matter what come your way in this life journey. The knowing and understanding that God loves you in Christ Jesus should emboldened you, in all the way to keep on keeping on, to PRESERVE and TREASURE your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus from any stain and desires in the world – 1 John 5:3-5; 1 John 2:15-17.

Its time to take away the VILE from your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH to be use to advance His kingdom cause and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (Jeremiah 25:9; 1 Timothy 2:19-21).

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH, then uphold your FAITH by PRAYING in the Spirit – THE HOLY GHOST – through THE WORD of God. Seek necessary counsel for help wherein you need to and save your day all the way from rot and thieves that are parading in hearts and thoughts and in life.

May you be BLESSED in Life and Godly Living, in your PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
