WHY YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR FAITH: ON THE SURE FOUNDATION WITH THE SURE WORD!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are MISTAKEN (ERRONEOUS), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29/NKJV.

In life you are either living by FAITH built upon the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD or you are living by FATE buiit upon RELIGION that you do in the name of God that connotes creeds, dogmas, sentiment and prejudice, by laws, man-made traditional sectarian settings being carried on and practice overtime as a spiritual norms and other such like.

The FAITH of God in Christ Jesus is of the sure WORD, and the sure WORD is the TRUTH that saves, delivers, frees and emancipates one from the FATE bondages. Hence FAITH with a SURE FOUNDATION built upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure the gracious leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead  in the face of any challenges that shows up in the world.

“So then FAITH cometh by hearing, and hearing by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“For this is THE LOVE of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER). 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: and this is the VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5/Emphasis Mine.

Building your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION on the SURE WORD sets you FREE from the enemies and cohorts of the FAITH in Christ Jesus which are:

* The WORLD – the enemy we SEE

* The FLESH – the enemy we FEEL

* The DEVIL – the enemy we KNOW

* The RELIGION – the enemy we DO

Until you identify these enemies and keep them at bay – especially the RELIGION enemy that’s subtle and crafty which we DO and have robbed many of the genuineness of the Faith; for while many go living on FATE thinking it’s FAITH in Christ Jesus, and without the knowing that one have been engraved with religiosity in essence; and there are many there who are without genuine difference that’s scripturally FAITH-BASED apart from the sect religious differences they own as to what they do.

The essence why you must live by and be built upon THE SURE FOUNDATION that’s founded upon THE SURE WORD, is to help you experience these but not limited, of the graciousnesss of God in these sphere:

* YOU AVOID HERESY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will protect against false teachings and teacher’s; and heretical beliefs that can lead one astray from the faith in Christ Jesus to the fate of the enemies and cohorts earlier mentioned.

* BIBLICAL ACCURACY: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural teachings that are aligned with the Holy writ – the Bible; and provides the solid foundation for the faith and the practicability of the faith.

* SPIRITUAL GROWTH: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give proper scriptural knowing and understanding that leads to spiritual growth, maturity and intimate relationship and fellowship with God; and fellowship with other Believer’s in Christ Jesus; and in relating and dealing with life matters with the world about us.

* EFFECTIVE WITNESSING: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will make us a effective witness bearers for Christ Jesus as His true ambassador and embassy of God. As an ASSURED witness, we will be devoid of false teachings and heretical beliefs that can lead both the unbelieving and Believer’s alike astray by a great measure.

* UNITY AND COMMUNION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon THE SURE WORD will give a clear and accurate genuine relationship and fellowship that fosters unity within the Christian FAITH community. Simply for the fact that everyone shares a common communion of UNDERSTANDING of the essential beliefs of the faith in Christ Jesus stead.

* UNSHAKEN FAITH FOUNDATION: For a SURE FOUNDATION upon the SURE WORD will ensure and assure scriptural FAITH foundation. Our FAITH foundation in God in Christ Jesus may be TESTED and SHAKEN by the forces of the enemies and cohorts as aforementioned earlier, but can’t be UNSHAKEN or DESTROYED because the FAITH foundation is SURE and TRUE and preserved by the person of the sure FOUNDATION and sure WORD, the person of – our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

** For more, you can get hold of my book entitled “TRIUMPH IN READING THE WORD” and or any other of my books or published writings in the various platforms of my websites or social media alike for your perusal.

It’s my utmost PRAYERS that you build up your FAITH on the SURE FOUNDATION that’s upon THE SURE WORD of God which is Christ Jesus the Lord. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We have also a more SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that SHINETH in a DARK place, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be DESTROYED, what can the RIGHTEOUS DO?” Psalms 11:3.

“According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the FOUNDATION, and another BUILDETH thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man BUILD upon this FOUNDATION gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know ye not that ye are the TEMPLE of God, and that the Spirit of God DWELLETH in you? 17 If any man DEFILE the TEMPLE of God, him shall God DESTROY; for the TEMPLE of God is HOLY, which TEMPLE ye ARE” 1 Corinthians 3:10-17.

“Nevertheless the FOUNDATION of God STANDETH SURE, having this SEAL, The Lord KNOWETH them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ DEPART FROM INIQUITY. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore PURGE himself from these, he shall be a VESSEL unto HONOUR, SANCTIFIED, and MEET for the MASTER’S use, and PREPARED unto EVERY GOOD WORK” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“Therefore whosoever HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH them, I will liken him unto a WISE man, which BUILT his house upon a ROCK: 25 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was FOUNDED upon a ROCK. 26 And every one that HEARETH these sayings of mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a FOOLISH man, which BUILT his house upon the SAND: 27 and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it” Matthew 7:24-27.

“The EARTH is the Lord’s, and the FULNESS thereof; the WORLD, and they that DWELL therein. 2 For he hath FOUNDED it upon the seas, and ESTABLISHED it upon the floods. 3 Who shall ASCEND into the HILL of the Lord? or who shall STAND in his HOLY place? 4 He that hath CLEAN hands, and a PURE heart; who hath NOT LIFTED up his soul unto VANITY, nor sworn DECEITFULLY. 5 He shall RECEIVE THE BLESSING from the Lord, and RIGHTEOUSNESS from the God of his SALVATION” Psalms 24:1-5.

“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” Psalms 45:11-12.

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the POWER, WISDOM and GOODNESS of God] we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and EQUIPPED for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE CONFESSION of our HOPE (FAITH) without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” Hebrews 10:23.

“Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR CONFESSION” Hebrews 4:14/NKJV.

“A man’s STOMACH shall be SATISFIED from the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; From the produce of HIS LIPS he shall be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE, And those who LOVE it will EAT its fruit” Proverbs 18:20-21/NKJV.

“You are SNARED by THE WORDS of your mouth; You are TAKEN by THE WORDS of your mouth” Proverbs 6:2/NKJV.

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD

EXAMINE YOUR FAITH – DON’T BLAME GOD: DO YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT CHECKLIST TODAY!

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, WHETHER YE BE IN THE FAITH; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s high time you FEED YOUR FAITH and STARVE YOUR DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good in LIFE and GRACE, as you give your EARS to the HEARING of the WORD of FAITH – Amos 8:11-14; Romans 10:8, 17; Proverbs 4:20-23.

If ‘FAITH’, which is the DEFAULT, LEGAL and VITAL TENDER to please, relate and obtain God’s attention COMES by Hearing The WORD, which is of God, it thus means NO HEARING of the WORD of God, means NO ‘FAITH’; and NO FAITH, means NO ACTIVATION can take place as expected to PLEASE God. Amos 8:11-14; Hebrews 11:6.

So, if I may ask, what WORD are you listening to? What WORD are you hearing? What WORD are you giving your attention to? What sorts of information are you FEEDING your spirit-being with? Is it God’s the one SPEAKING or SAYING His WORD to you or otherwise? [Proverbs 4:20-23]. You better check it out, otherwise you may end up making God’s Word of NO EFFECT for your good, because of your TRADITIONS through IGNORANCE.

Are you held bound by TRADITION and IGNORANCE? Yea, meaning held bound by our self made culture, make-believe, dogmas, religiosity, religion and religious prejudice, and man-made creed, philosophy and indulgence and more, which contradicts God’s WORD, the basis of formulating our FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead.

“Making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT through your TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:13.

So, EXAMINE your FAITH before you lay blame on God as some do when on crossroads and cross fire. Feed your FAITH And starve Your DOUBTS to enable God’s WORD to WORK for your good and goodness. 2 Corinthians 13:5.

Be BLESSED in Christ. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But let a man EXAMINE himself . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:28.

“So then FAITH COMETH by HEARING, and HEARING by the WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God,that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE OF BREAD, NOR A THIRST FOR WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

“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.

“My son, ATTEND to my words; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH

By Leave a Comment

OUR TREASURED PRECIOUS FAITH: THE ESSENCE OF PRESERVING, BUILDING UP AND ENSURING OUR PRECIOUS FAITH!

“And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD YOU UP, and to GIVE YOU AN INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1.

How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you? I do know that people will love to PRESERVE and TREASURE and ENSURE 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, dignified, preserved and kept away from rots and corruption; and they will do more to ensure that the enemy and cohort intent to their TREASURED are kept at bay from their treasures.

However, we live in the times when scandals looms everywhere and unfortunately in the Christian FAITH; and some as 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 as written in the Holy writ of Hebrews 12:15-17/Genesis 25; Genesis 27:35-37. While in some other cases, the defraud is enormous and people have been betrayed, blackmailed and some killed through greed, covetousness and wickedness to get at what they want, even in high places of trust.

Unfortunately today, some will wants to mortgage their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus, in their desperation for anything to help them keep to stay in their statuesque irrespective of the circumstances. Others will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ can’t handle just to show off, keep to pace, bank balance and afterwards – REGRETS.

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 love through 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; Galatians 5:6.

And if I may ask again – How VALUABLE and WORTH is your precious FAITH in Christ Jesus to you today? How much PRICE and PRIZE have you tagged on your FAITH? Is your FAITH actually PRECIOUS 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 FAITH in God in Christ Jesus stead. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18.

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ Jesus is such a PRECIOUS WORTH in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; and to ensure your precious FAITH,  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 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 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 PRECIOUS FAITH from the VILE if you must be God’s VESSEL and MOUTH in use to advance His 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 and ENSURE your PRECIOUS 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.

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the COMMON SALVATION, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

GOD IS GOOD AND FAITHFUL

GOD IS GOOD AND FAITHFUL: HE’S SURE AND TRUE TO ALL HIS PROMISES!

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION of our faith WITHOUT wavering; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

In ALL life circumstances and situations, I say BE STILL for God is good and faithful, true and sure in all His promises.

For God is the REFUGE of His people and conqueror of the Nations, therefore:

*CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN THOUGH THE EARTH MOVE.

*CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN THOUGH THE NATIONS RAGE.

*CELEBRATE HIM AS YOUR DEFENCE EVEN WHEN HE BRINGS AND EXECUTE HIS JUDGMENT.

“. . . 7 The Lord of hosts is WITH US; The God of Jacob is our REFUGE. Selah 8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth. 9 He makes wars CEASE to the end of the earth; He BREAKS the bow and CUTS the spear in two; He BURNS the chariot in the fire. 10 BE STILL, and know that I am God; I will be EXALTED among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! . . .” Psalms 46:1-11.

BE STILL – for God CARES and God LOVES you and wants you to BE STILL – in the MIDST of the storms and raging seas of life challenges and changing times, and especially if you are undergoing any right now or may likely undergo in the cause and course of doing life and living godly, in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

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.

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24. Psalm 46:1-11.

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, A very PRESENT HELP in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

6 The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved; He uttered His voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is WITH US; The God of Jacob is our REFUGE. Selah

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, Who has made desolations in the earth.

9 He makes wars CEASE to the end of the earth; He BREAKS the bow and CUTS the spear in two; He BURNS the chariot in the fire.

10 BE STILL, and know that I am God; I will be EXALTED among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah”

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST

By Leave a Comment

YOU DEARLY NEED – THE FAITH AT REST – THE FAITH ASSURED – AND THE SPIRIT REFRESH: IT’S POSSIBLE BY PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – THAT’S THE SYNERGY!

“The spirit of a man will SUSTAIN him in sickness (INFIRMITIES), But who can BEAR a BROKEN spirit?” Proverbs 18:14.

“A MERRY heart (spirit) doeth GOOD like a medicine: but a BROKEN spirit DRIETH the bones” Proverbs 17:22.

When your FAITH is at REST, your SPIRIT-BEING  and WELL-BEING are at REST – then you are ASSURED of your daily triumph no matter what; but when your faith is troubled, your spirit is troubled – then your ASSURANCE and CONFIDENCE of triumph dwindles.

And FAITH is of the WORD which is spiritual and is of the Holy Spirit in your spirit, which when not taken care of and looks after, it leads to stress and depression and all forms of fear PHOBIA in your human spirit-being. STRESS is as a results of limited capacity to deal with our various life challenges, be it – family, work, career, ministry, business, academic, relationship, leadership and more.

You need to know full well that you are a spirit-being (spiritual), with a soul (mind, emotions, will and intellect) and living in a body (humus – physical) – (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7).

However, there’s a good news, for God has left us with a synergy to enhance us with the grace of rest to deal with all factors that results to stress. It’s called – PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT – that’s PRAYING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT which means SPEAKING FORTH IN OTHER TONGUES – that is, in spiritual tongues/languages to be precise. And you need to get engaged and use it to do and live life. In it you willl be REFRESH, REAWAKEN, RENEW, REKINDLE, SYNERGISE and AFLAME to enjoy a stress and depression free life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

MEDITATE on the SCRIPTURES below and be BLESSED in Christ Jesus stead to live free within. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For with stammering lips and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the REST wherewith ye may cause the WEARY to REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“For if I PRAY in an UNKNOWN TONGUE, my spirit prayeth but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is it then? I will PRAY with the spirit, and I will PRAY with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding” 1 Corinthians 14:14-15.

“Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but BE FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him” Ephesians 5:18.

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves up on [the foundation of] your most holy FAITH [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21.

“PRAYING ALWAYS with ALL PRAYER and supplication IN THE SPIRIT, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints” Ephesians 6:18.

“If you FAINT in the day of ADVERSITY, Your STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD parts of the belly (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).

“But THERE is a spirit in man: and the INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH them understanding” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN me life” Job 33:4.

“In the same way the Spirit [comes to us and] helps us in our weakness [INFIRMITIES]. We do not know what prayer to offer or how to offer it as we should, but the Spirit Himself [knows our need and at the right time] intercedes on our behalf with sighs and groanings too deep for words. 27 And He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because the Spirit intercedes [before God] on behalf of God’s people in accordance with God’s will” Romans 8:26-27.

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as MANY as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the SONS of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14 (Emphasis Mine).

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

HOLDING UNTO THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH: AS AN UNPARALLELED ARMY – GOD’S BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR!

“Thou art my BATTLE AXE AND WEAPONS OF WAR: for with thee will I BREAK (SHATTER ) in pieces the nations, and with thee will I DESTROY kingdoms; 21 and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the chariot and his rider; 22 with thee also will I BREAK in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces old and young; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the young man and the maid; 23 I will also BREAK in pieces with thee the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I BREAK in pieces captains and rulers” Jeremiah 51:20-23 Emphasis Mine.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY- the Church of God needs to firstly come to the point to fully acknowledge and understand the essence of embracing the SCRIPTURAL truth and vitality that – YOU ARE – GOD’S BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS OF WAR! Thus indicating you are not just enrolled in the army by virtue of being born of God, but you are the army the vessel weapon in use to transmit the weaponry to win and TRIUMPH in every way of God’s cause on earth in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And this you do, by HOLDING onto the mystery of the Faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

FAITH is our life connection and currency of demands and supply on the heavenly for our earthly affairs. FAITH is NOW – Present tense and its active not passive unlike BELIEVE which is passive. Faith is the only spiritual legal and tender mystery to do Kingdom business exchange with God. It pleases God. And FAITH is about ACTING accordingly and correspondingly on what your BELIEVE on, and of, God’s WORD in context, without a doubtful thoughts. Mark 11:20-24. Hebrews 11:1-40. Faith is not MYSTERIOUS or MYSTICAL as some may THINK. It’s not a CREED, DOCTRINE or RELIGION or SECTARIAN or DENOMINATIONAL. Faith is the heavenly currency that operates in divine mystery that can’t be adulterated and counterfeited as other legal and vital tenders in use in the world. Faith is spiritual and life streaming 24/7 to meet all human affairs with the heavenly supply unhindered.

And there’s the need for you to hold earnestly and steadfastly unto the Faith that brings about the victory if one must succeed and excel and triumph with God in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in life and grace. Faith is not just the spiritual legal and vital tender to do the heavenly business for our earthly affairs, but the mystery of grace that can and will always paralyse every operation of the ENEMY and COHORTS against the Believer’s FAITH in Christ Jesus in God. And as such, there’s the need to be alert, vigilant and sensitive in the Spirit to exercise a pure heart and of a good conscience to safeguard the FAITH from the mode of operandi of the enemy and cohorts operations, especially toward you as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS” Philippians 4:8.

There is and there are – LIFE BATTLES, knowingly or unknowingly. And these Life BATTLES are real to ALL and it’s irrespective to any – and it’s not about if and when. And OVERCOMING and TRIUMPHING is ASSURED as we do life by holding steadily steady on the mystery of FAITH. That’s what the enemy and cohorts can’t figure out how by faith victory is certainly certain over the world systems, when and while in the dealing with an INFORMED unparalleled army – the you, the local and universal body of Christ Jesus.

“For everyone born of God is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world; and this is the VICTORY that has CONQUERED and OVERCOME the world—our [continuing, persistent] FAITH [in Jesus the Son of God]. 5 Who is the one who is VICTORIOUS and OVERCOMES the world? It is the one who BELIEVES and RECOGNIZES the fact that is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5 Amplified.

And the greatest of ALL life battles, is the BATTLE of your FAITH in Christ Jesus. And there’s an ENEMY and COHORTS out there 24/7 that’s fighting daily, going to and fro, roaring aggressively and looking for any avenue and opportunity to devour you of your FAITH in Christ. For the ENEMY and COHORTS knows that if it can get hold of your FAITH, EVERYTHING about you will be DEVOURED. Your FAITH is the VICTORY and TRIUMPH that overcomes the WORLD’S set up SYSTEM, which is run and control by the ENEMY and COHORTS against your well-being in Christ Jesus.

“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT and CAUTIOUS at ALL TIMES. That ENEMY of yours, the DEVIL, PROWLS around like a ROARING lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be FIRM in your FAITH [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favour], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]” 1 Peter 5:8-10 (Amplified).

Hence when the ENEMY and COHORTS roar, or makes attacks on you in its acts of operandi, you need to know and understand that its actual PRIMARY aim and objective are not after your – Money, Family, Career, Relationship, Business, Ministry and such like. Its PRIMARY intent is that you GIVE UP and QUIT on your FAITH, for your FAITH is the ONLY divinely instilled mechanism that OVERCOMES and ENACT your REDEMPTION in humanity to live and do life.

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast PROFESSED a good PROFESSION before many witnesses” 1Timothy 6:12.

We are enjoined therefore, to stand up tall by HOLDING on the mystery of our FAITH, in order to FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH in any life BATTLES. There is no room for fainting and giving up so easily in any phase and sphere because the victory is ASSURED to come.

“If thou hast RUN with the FOOTMEN, and they have WEARIED thee, then how canst thou CONTEND with HORSES? and if in the land of PEACE, wherein thou TRUSTEDST, they WEARIED thee, then how wilt thou DO in the SWELLING of Jordan?” Jeremiah 12:5.

Therefore, BUILD UP your most Holy FAITH, as a way of PREPAREDNESS to life daily BATTLES in order to SOAR IN DOMINION through life and the years of living that our God will make possible for you in Christ Jesus stead. For a NO FAITH means a NO PLEASING of God, for the just must live in the holding up on the mystery of the Faith to win and triumph. Hence PREPAREDNESS is imperative and non-negotiable.

“The horse is PREPARED against the day of battle: but SAFETY is of the LORD” Proverbs 21:31.

For your FAITH is the MYSTERY for your VICTORY, TRIUMPH, SUCCESS, DOMINION, THRIVING and ACHIEVING; and to OVERCOME and to live the life of A MORE THAN CONQUEROR status – in LIFE and GRACE, in Christ Jesus stead – and you need to hold to the FAITH MYSTERY in a PURE CONSCIENCE thereby making it in all possible. Your FAITH is a one lane two way street – Your Today and your Tomorrow – TREASURE IT. And Hold unto it in a PURE CONSCIENCE as an UNPARALLELED ARMY. Your FAITH is the MYSTERY for your VICTORY in life and godliness – HOLD UNTO IT WITH A PURE CONSCIENCE.

FURTHER SCRIPTURAL READING THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having put away concerning FAITH have made shipwreck: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT of FAITH, lay HOLD on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1Timothy 6:12.

“For though we WALK IN THE FLESH [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] WARFARE according to the flesh and using the WEAPONS of man. 4 The WEAPONS OF OUR WARFARE ARE NOT PHYSICAL [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying SOPHISTICATED arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the OBEDIENCE of Christ, 6 being ready to PUNISH every act of disobedience, when your OWN OBEDIENCE [as a church] is COMPLETE” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 Amplified.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“But thanks be to God, which giveth us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ. 58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, ALWAYS ABOUNDING in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your LABOUR IS NOT IN VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:57-58.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 NAY, IN ALL THESE THINGS WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM THAT LOVED US. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“Look at the proud one, His soul is not right within him, But THE RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY HIS FAITH [in the true God]” Habakkuk 2:4 Amplified (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38).

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE IN THINE HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD: FOR IN YOUR DARK AND DARKNESS – THERE IS GOD’S GLORY AND BEAUTY!

“Therefore we do not become DISCOURAGED [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER self is being [progressively] RENEWED day by day. 17 For our MOMENTARY, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Amplified.

I know what tears and pain and disappointments feels and looks like. I know what setbacks with hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness looks like. I know how it feels that there should be no tomorrow. I know how it feels to wish the morning was night and the night was day; and when the day and night seems so long and you wish you could BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AS AN OSTRICH INSTEAD OF SOARING AS AN EAGLE; and when the darkness seems so dark that nothing in life matters any more and all you think about is to stop living because you are overwhelmed with matters of life. I know how it looks when all one can see it’s danger and such like, and nothing meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling any more. I have seen it in many forms to know it’s only by God and through God in Christ Jesus stead to come through under the Sun in humanity.

“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.

And I want you to know what else that I know – God does bring forth LIGHT OUT OF EVERY DARK and DARKNESS that shows up in our day to day challenges. The dark and darkness that shows up momentarily or as long standing obstacles in metaphorical form as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Am very certain and assured that God will not OVERSHADOWED that your darkness with light to keep you in circus but will BRING FORTH LIGHT OUT of that seemly impossible DARK PLACE and the DARKNESS with the needed and needful graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS. For God intent is to see you glow, rejuvenate, refresh and blossom out of “THAT” dark and darkness you are dealing with right now. I know it without a shadow of a doubt because each rivers of challenges that I have seen and walk and gone through have made me BETTER than BITTER because I know the essence of light OUT of darkness in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT of dawn, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.

Therefore be at peace with yourself today, for the DAYSTAR in you, which is Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord for today, tomorrow and always, will shine again in you and through you, and many in darkness will come to your light in Him to share in your joy and testimony of grace. For darkness can’t overshadowed light. Light will always be superior to any darkness. The darker the case, the the more the glow in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Stop CRYING as one without hope in God; for in that your DARKNESS – therein is God’s GLORY and BEAUTY of you in Christ Jesus. I pray that you will take on a new look and leap of faith in life,  that your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus can’t be stop by any level of darkness no matter the momentary lapses and delays in the now.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD – and be BLESSED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“We have also a MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“The VOICE of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 EVERY VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and EVERY MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be MADE LOW: and the CROOKED shall be MADE STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH PLACES PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all FLESH shall see it together: for the Mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

“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.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was WITHOUT form, and void; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the FACE of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.
