SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: DILIGENCE in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: DILIGENCE in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in The Father’s Kingdom Business!

“Sees a man DILIGENT in his business? He will stand with kings & not obscure men” Proverbs 22:29.

“And it came to pass, that after three days they FOUND HIM IN THE TEMPLE, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS, both HEARING them, and ASKING them QUESTIONS. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and ANSWERS. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about MY FATHER’S BUSINESS?” Luke 2:46.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE inherit the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GOD’S LOVE

By Leave a Comment

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GOD’S LOVE: GOD’S LOVE ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS!

“And HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because THE LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHED) abroad in our HEARTS (SPIRIT-BEING) by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

Talking about LOVE – I mean the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus, that transcends and surpasses the human sense [see, hear, smell, taste, touch/feel] knowledge of love. Herein, I will be laying out a didactic sense of measure of God’s love in Christ Jesus, such that we don’t just say we HAVE LOVE, but we can boldly say, we DO LIVE and WALK in God’s LOVE unreservedly, knowing that LOVE in essence is purely and firstly of God, for God is love [1 John 4:8, 16]; and God’s LOVE, is the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. And when an individual come to KNOW THIS LOVE OF GOD that surpasses and transcends our sense knowledge of love, we can then OCCUPY effectively and efficiently in Christ Jesus until He comes, by “BEING EARTHLY USEFUL while HEAVENLY MINDED” in humanity.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDED,  SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE KNOWLEDGE – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

Love is an ATTITUDE, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence, it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. For God is love as written:

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:7–10, 16-18.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit that indwells in us – (Romans 5:5, 8; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN. FOR THE CHARGE – OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN LOVE ENHANCES EARTHLY USEFULNESS AND HEAVENLY MINDEDNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour” Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDED,  SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE KNOWLEDGE – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19/Emphasis Mine.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but BY LOVE SERVE one another. 14 For all the LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law” Galatians 5:6, 13-14, 22-23.

“For the FRUIT of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth” Ephesians 5:9/NKJV.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the end . . . 34 A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1 34-35.

“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.

“As the Father hath LOVED me, so have I LOVED you: CONTINUE YE IN MY LOVE. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater LOVE hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:9-14.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

The Christmas REASON

By Leave a Comment

The Christmas REASON: The Expression SEASON of God’s LOVE to HUMANITY – in RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP!

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

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

This December . . . and in This Christmas, the season is more than just celebrations and commemoration season. It’s about you enacting and authenticating your LOVE towards God as He does toward you in Christ Jesus stead in order for you to fulfill your life given purpose in Him. More so to access all about you by the revealing enabling that comes through loving God.

“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.

“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 2:9-10.

And I know, that, by the virtue of birth, my wonderful children have an awesome RELATIONSHIP with me; but if any is to enjoy a MORE THAN the usual, normal and generalised BLESSEDNESS beyond the right to birth-marked, they have to engage in a constant FELLOWSHIP to know and understand the path to it – and that path undertaking, it’s their RESPONSIBILITY to make it happen.

Much more in the same scenario, by virtue of God’s love in Christ Jesus’ we obtain RELATIONSHIP in our being born of God (comely called Born Again). But if we are to enjoy the fullness of God, we must endeavour to explore the FELLOWSHIP decorum with Him in Christ Jesus stead. For Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, though He’s God’s son in relationship, has to learn OBEDIENCE through FELLOWSHIP in same scenario in order to obtaining of God all it takes to be, while in humanity as us today.

“. . . 5 So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6 As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7 Who in the DAYS of his FLESH [HUMANITY], when he had OFFERED up PRAYERS [FELLOWSHIP] and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to SAVE him from death, and was heard in that He FEARED [REVEREND]; 8 though he were a Son, yet LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered; 9 and being made perfect, he became the AUTHOR of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him; 10 CALLED of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 5:1-10/Emphasis Mine.

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

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

Adam lost his FELLOWSHIP at Eden and it cost him dearly for all humanity at Eden as we know. Jesus in humanity maximise His FELLOWSHIP in His humanity and He made all the difference as we know it for the good of all humanity too.

Hence Month December and this Christmas is not about Church or special programs and busy prayer meetings and schedules, but how much of FELLOWSHIP you are having and engaging with Father God personally. This is good and necessary, in order to enhance and boost your worth in Him and for Him. This is what ‘THIS CHRISTMAS’ in ‘THIS DECEMBER’ and ‘THIS DAY’ should be about – The REASON for the SEASON.

It is the FELLOWSHIP that strengthens RELATIONSHIP. Sin hinders the fellowship and in time destroys and erases the relationship as in Eden. Hence during this SEASON of Christmas, give room for the REASON, that is, God’s love in Christ Jesus in relationship for fellowship to count and account for you and your good.

Make time to be ‘ALONE WITH FATHER GOD’ and have your own ACQUAINTANCE with Him. For LOVE makes Christmas a gracious event while SELFISHNESS (SELF-CENTEREDNESS) makes it a burden and pain.

May you have an amazing Christmas in all you do I pray.

Every Blessing.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.  6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:  7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin” 1 John 1:5-7.

“And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there PRAYED (FELLOWSHIP)” Mark 1:35/Emphasis Mine.

“Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” (Psalms 16:11).

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature (CREATION): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (Emphasis Mine).

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE in the CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“I am CRUCIFIED with Christ: nevertheless I LIVE; yet not I, but Christ LIVETH in me: and the LIFE which I now LIVE in the flesh I LIVE by the faith of the Son of God, who LOVED me, and GAVE himself for me. 21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:20-21.

JESUS THE CHRIST: HE IS – THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS

By Leave a Comment

JESUS THE CHRIST: HE IS – THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS – BEING COMMEMORATED AND CELEBRATED THIS DECEMBER!

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:20.

CHRIST JESUS – He’s the REASON for the SEASON. He’s the reason for the commemoration and celebration. Outside Him there’s no authentic and genuine reason that can make the season to be efficacious.

For me, when you take Christ from ‘CHRISTMAS’ you have ‘MAS’ which means ‘MAN AT SELF’ while with Christ it means ‘MAN AT SUFFICIENCY’.

CHRISTMAS is a yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION cause on earth for the good and goodness of All mankind.

CHRIST means – The anointed one, The Messiah, The Saviour, The Redeemer and much more – The soon coming King; while the MASS means – to Celebrate, to observe and commemorate.

Therefore, in this Month DECEMBER, let us commemorate and celebrate Him, for He is indeed born in our hearts and in our being. His birth is the rebirth of:

*Peace and goodwill toward men

*Hope, Faith & Love for men

*Fellowship and Relationship

*Salvation for all mankind and more.

However, as wonderful as Christmas commemoration and celebration is, be it known that Christ is enthroned, and,

He is no longer:

* The babe in the manger

* The servant to death

* The limited one and

* The Christ on the Cross.

He’s now the:

* God on the throne

* Omnipotent- (unlimited, all powerful)

* Omnipresent – (ever present, everywhere the same time) and

* Omniscience (all knowing, all understanding and all wise).

May Christ be all above to you, this Day, this Christmas and this December. I pray you have a blessed celebration and commemoration in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name IMMANUEL” Isaiah 7:14.

“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost . . . 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall SAVE his people from their sins . . . 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, God WITH us . . . 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” Matthew 1:18-25.

“For unto us a CHILD is BORN, unto us a SON is GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this” Isaiah 9:6-7.

“When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the SON OF MAN am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the CHRIST, the Son of the living God . . . 20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:13-20.

By Leave a Comment

MY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS DIGEST LETTER TO YOU: WORTH KNOWING AND PONDERING!

Dear Friend,

HEREIN ARE SOME TEN GOLDEN RULES TO ASSIST YOU IN THIS CHRISTMAS IF YOU MAY.

WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? It is a yearly COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour – Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION cause on earth for the good of ALL mankind.

SOME TEN GOLDEN RULES I LOVE YOU TO OBSERVE – It will secure you in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in this Christmas.

1ST RULE:

You shall PREPARE your soul for Christmas – Romans 12:1-2.

We need to PREPARE a room in the Inn of our heart for the Lord in this Christmas – Revelation 3:20; Luke 2:7b

2ND RULE:

You shall not over BURDEN the Sale clerk with your worries – Matthew 6:25-34 [note especially vs. 33 – the need to seek right].

We need not let the worry of gifts – Shoes, games, transport, groceries, clothing’s, jewelleries and other forms of shopping and shoppers, to weigh us down and get us into debt. More especially the BUY today syndrome for NOTHING to Pay in WORRIES with a heavy HEART and BURDEN LATER after the December and Christmas seasons are all over. BE wise – don’t be tricked by any sales outlet there.

3RD RULE:

You shall GIVE yourself with your gift – 2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; Psalm 49:6-9.

Give God your heart before your material gains and gifts: Give me your heart, the Lord requires first before anything. Your life is worth to God than your gift.

4TH RULE:

You shall not VALUE gift by their cost – Luke 21:1-5; Matthew 2:11.

The least expensive gift may speak LOVE and with great hearts than the costly. So, let your love expression and expectation be of the good spirited and heartedness that speaks graciousness and gracefulness of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

5TH RULE:

You shall not LEAVE [keep] Christ Jesus outside your Christmas – Matthew 2:13.

Joseph was with Christ Jesus on and in Christmas mood hence he could hear God of the plan of the enemy and cohorts – King Herod’s – against baby Jesus. Don’t let Christmas be used for evil work to you and your family – keep your being connected to the heavenly during the season and more so, after too.

6TH RULE:

You shall not ALLOW Father Christmas to replace Christ Jesus in your heart and that of your family – Ephesians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 2:11.

Some has put up some masquerade acts to display in devilish mood, terrorising and frightening people in the name of Christmas. Don’t get people hurt please.

7TH RULE:

You shall not FORGET and NEGLECT the needy – James 1:27; 2:14-20.

Christmas is a very good time to extend God’s love to you to the needy around you. For the have not will always be among us the scriptures says – Deuteronomy 15:11; Mark 14:7.

8TH RULE:

You shall not NEGLECT your Church of gathering for Fellowship and Worship – Hebrews 10:25.

What is the Church? It is the voluntarily gathering of people to fellowship with one another and to worship God in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION.

9TH RULE:

You shall be as a LITTLE Child – Mark 10:15.

It takes a childhood heart to embrace the spirit of Christ birth called Christmas.

Hence it’s a time of childhood spirit and not childish attitude which we see on our

streets during this period.

10TH RULE:

You shall WORSHIP and give your heart to Christ – Matthew 2:11; John 3:16; Revelation 3:20; John 1:12.

Let Christ be at the top of your Christmas. Prepare and decorate your hearts much more to your house.

AND FINALLY:

SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN but LOVE makes Christmas – PEACEFUL, LOVELY, GOOD WILL and JOYOUS in everyway.

BLESSED COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

EMMANUEL – GOD WITH US

EMMANUEL – GOD WITH US: HE’S JESUS THE CHRIST!

“When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, WHOM DO MEN SAY THAT I THE SON OF MAN AM? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, BUT WHOM SAY YE THAT I AM? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, the Son of the living God . . .  20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST” Matthew 16:13-20.

“Now the BIRTH of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” Matthew 1:18-25.

YOU NEED TO ENQUIRE WISELY WHILE DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

YOU NEED TO ENQUIRE WISELY WHILE DOING LIFE: KNOWING IT’S SCRIPTURALLY UNWISE TO SAY – YESTERDAY IS BETTER THAN TODAY!

“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

It’s Scripturally WISE to say that BETTER is TODAY Than BEFORE – That’s Wisdom in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s Scripturally UNWISE to say YESTERDAY is BETTER than TODAY and probably TOMORROW.

“SAY NOT thou, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:10

One great error of errors, it’s when you pray or have prayed for an expectation of God to come to fruition and you go contradicting your expectations – by allowing yourself to be RULED afterwards by what your SENSES [see, hear, smell, taste, feel/touch]  or by what the CIRCUMSTANCES around present before you; and that’s when you are not being RULED and EARNESTLY garrison by what you wants to see happen in the LIGHT of God’s WORD, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know for sure and certainly, that between WHEN YOU PRAY to God and an ANSWER is come to fruition, your SENSE of focus in the WORD of GRACE and FAITH is very important. Let the gracious WORDS proceeds out of your mouth in FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen

“And all bare HIM (JESUS) witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.

“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.

“Thou art SNARED with the WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.

As long as you are focusing and affirming in statements of what you are SENSING and or by the CIRCUMSTANCES before you PRAYED, you can NEVER have what you wants from Father God in Christ. Simply for the truth that a double minded person can’t receive anything from God. 

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For LET NOT that man think that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is UNSTABLE in all his ways” James 1:2-8.

And when you stay ASSURED, STEADFAST and in CONFIDENCE by the WORD of GRACE and FAITH, focusing on what you WANTS to see of God, and not ruled and governed by what you are sensing, know for a certainty, that, there’s no force known and unknown that will be able to stop your request from not coming to fruition and in reality in your God as you have PRAYED. For the ministering spirit, the angelic hosts will perfectly deliver your God GIVEN goods into your hands when they are ASSURED of you acting by the word of God. For they only harkens to the voice of God’s WORD.

“For SURELY there is AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall NOT be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO His commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

And on the contrary, what happens when you go thinking and believing that your FORMER days are BETTER than your TODAY and in some cases that your future will be in delusion, you keep at bay the working of God’s WORD on your behalf. Such acts of thinking makes one unwise in receiving anything from God.

When one begin to say that their today is  worst than their before you are not giving the heavens the opportunity to interfere in solving your earthly matters. Hence such attitude is considered an UNWISE reasoning in the kingdom operations to receive from God. For your attitude will unveil your altitudes in gratitude. You need to know full well that God is RICH to all who calls upon Him and that stays in steadfastness by FAITH on His WORD irrespective of the “IF” and “BUT” about them.

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall NOT be ASHAMED. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH ABOUT, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

YOUR FOCUS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE SEED THAT DEFINES YOUR FAITH IN GRACE FOR YOUR NOW, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Surely OPPRESSION maketh a WISE man mad; and a GIFT (BRIBE) destroyeth (CORRUPTS) the (GOOD JUDGEMENT OF THE) HEART. 8 BETTER is the END of a thing than the BEGINNING thereof: and the patient in spirit is BETTER than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for ANGER resteth in the BOSOM of fools. 10 SAY NOT thou, What is the cause that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:7-10 Emphasis Mine.

“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“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.

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING according to HIS WILL, he HEARETH us: 15 and if we KNOW that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER WE ASK, we KNOW that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a GREAT high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING). 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“STUDY to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a WORKMAN that NEEDETH not to be ASHAMED, rightly DIVIDING (APPLYING) the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15 (Emphasis Mine).

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR (MISTAKEN), not KNOWING the scriptures, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 (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 (COMPLETE, MATURE, FULLY), throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“18 Now THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was ESPOUSED to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is CONCEIVED in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is, GOD WITH US. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 and knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS” Matthew 1:18-25.

THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST: TO END – THE SIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND TO START UP – THE RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS!

“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] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an opportunity for the SINFUL NATURE (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.

No More SIN FISHING – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus. Therefore, know of a TRUTH, that the BIRTH of JESUS the CHRIST is to lay the foundation to the end of SIN CONSCIOUSNESS and to start up the NEW CREATION mandate of RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Him as it’s written:

“For Christ is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH” Romans 10:4.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: OLD THINGS are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21.

It’s time to live FREE by THIS DECEMBER, THIS CHRISTMAS and even now, for your FREEDOM time is come in EMMANUEL Birth, which is – JESUS THE CHRIST. Matthew 16:20.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST”

The REASON for the SEASON of Christmas commemoration and celebration, is all about God’s LOVE in demonstration through the BIRTH of Jesus the Christ. It’s not to activate SIN or make SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, meaning it’s not to make you GUILTY again and again, but to give LOVE and make us receive God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, because God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus is STRONGER than the stings and pangs of SIN.

Hence the scripture of Micah says God had buried our inequities under the SEA of forgetfulness and I say to you – NO FISHĪNG or NO MORE FISHING! Meaning, don’t go fishing what God has forgiven you of, no matter the gravity of it. Don’t go feeling guilty with memory of events that had happened. No fishing! This is your freedom Christmas.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH INIQUITY, and PASSETH by the TRANSGRESSION of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER for ever, because he DELIGHTEH in MERCY. 19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt cast ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

Don’t go and visit place or places of reminder, even if it is called a Church. Go to a place or places where you are WELCOME and RECEIVE; and the LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus is celebrated to enhance your FREEDOM and REDEMPTION in Him.

Living in SIN CONSCIOUSNESS will invite the enemy and that will rob you of your worth and dignity especially during this period of expressing true LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS to fellow men because of Christ.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

Let LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS possess your day, that’s what makes Christmas worth expressing and everything. This CHRISTMAS is about God’s LOVE and your access to FREEDOM in Christ and not to LIVE IN GUILT anymore.

GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSINGS.

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this RULE, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto LIBERTY [FREEDOM]; only use not LIBERTY [FREEDOM] for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another. 14 For all THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.
