WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you – in life and godliness.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Living in the fullness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfill His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE.

Hence all glory, honor and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious acts; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 And Jesus returned in the POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“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.

“Each time He said, “MY GRACE is all you need. MY POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can WORK through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“But as many as received him, to them gave he POWER to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12.

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might . . .19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel” Ephesians 6:10, 19.

“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.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will” Ephesians 1:3-7, 11.

“Though I might also have CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER). If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the FLESH (HUMAN – ABILITY, POWER), I more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; 6 concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. 7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, AND DO COUNT THEM but DUNG, that I may win Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” Philippians 3:4-8 (Emphasis Mine).

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake BOLDLY in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

** How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

** How am you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by own intents and ability.

All these above and many other quest that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

FEAR Not To Take A Step Of FAITH: Your FREEDOM To THRIVE Is A DONE DEED!

Fear breeds torments and intimidation. It robs and cripples one of vision, guidance, self-esteem, confidence, assurance, health and more. It breeds depression and locks one up in self-imprisonment. It’s the ENEMY and COHORTS Police Officer policing ones joy, happiness and freedom in Christ Jesus to THRIVE and BECOME in LIFE and GRACE.

The oppose factor to FEAR is FAITH. And genuine freedom from fear is your faith on the done work of Christ for you. There are over 365 fear not in the Scriptures to keep you through the 365/366 days in a year. You have to step out in faith to overcome fear.

More so, your working in the fullness of the love of God in Christ Jesus that TRANSCENDS and SURPASSED human sense knowledge, will cast out and cripples fears from one’s endeavors and domains in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“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 4:17-18.

“And to KNOW the LOVE of Christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) knowledge (HUMAN SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:19.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!

There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution and charge of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist, errors and mistaken conclusions through ignorance, making them to NEVER experience the POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.

** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of him in their twist, errors and mistaken intent and regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within

By Leave a Comment

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – The I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Every one craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thoughts. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfillment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: BEAUTIFIES, REFRESHES AND REJUVENATES YOUR WHOLESOME BEING!

Dearly Beloved in Christ Jesus stead, it’s now a high time to refresh, build up, revive, revitalize, rejuvenate and renew your days and wellbeing by PRAYING in the Spirit. This will keep you keeping on, in ALL that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

What it takes to beautify and color your triune being – spirit, soul and body – is within you. Keep your being ALIVE and BUILT-UP by PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“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.

“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” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

“With all prayer and petition PRAY [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] IN THE SPIRIT, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [a]God’s people” Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified).

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also PLANTED ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“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 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. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together . . . 26 Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the hearts KNOWETH what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh INTERCESSION for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17, 26-27.

The cause For THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE has always been of THREE gracious and graceful KINGDOM ESSENTIALS and ACTS of doing life and living godly, in the Lord Christ Jesus.

These essentials and acts of doing life and living godly are:

If otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day and called today. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 Emphasis Mine.

“BEWARE (TAKE HEED), brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “TODAY,” lest any of you be HARDENED through the DECEITFULNESS of sin. 14 For we have become PARTAKERS of Christ if we hold the beginning of our CONFIDENCE steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not HARDEN your HEARTS as in the REBELLION (PROVOCATION)” Hebrews 3:12-15.

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man

God’s PASTORAL Set-Man: Feed the SHEEP of God with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING!

In this age of multifarious and multi-various MULTIMEDIA – TELEVISION, RADIO and SOCIAL MEDIA platforms and such like – you can read, hear and watch all sorts of INFORMATION. Sometimes you wonder from which pit of hell are some of the stuffs coming from.

In the word of Apostle Paul in the Holy Writ, some people have twisted the Holy Scriptures to appeal to denominational dogmas, creed, traditions and oblations; while some are not fully explained in order to appeal to certain groups of people’s sentiments and bye-laws; and while others are deliberately made to create havoc in the Churches of Christ to appeal to popular opinions; and while there are those who in love are truly committed and dedicated to the cause of the Gospel in Christ Jesus stead, as Apostle Paul will say in all these as enjoined in Philippians 1:15-18.

“SOME indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and SOME also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

It’s a high TIME for God’s precious PEOPLE to truly  CRAVE  for genuine KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God’s precious WORD of LIFE in all sincerity in the midst of the FALSEHOOD, FAKE NEWS, ADULTERATED and COUNTERFEIT that runs and tends to rule in the various MULTIMEDIA platforms in our today worlds.

THEREFORE I SAY:

** Are You A Believer In Christ Jesus? Do you belong to an Assembly or Denomination where the fellowship of brethren and worship of God in Christ Jesus takes place?

Ensure you steadfastly and steadily BELONG to a Local Assembly where you know and are known of other Brethren; and don’t be  a SPIRITUAL HARLOTS running from Church to Church with no steady or stable place to account or count of you as a devotional worshipper with other people of God. It’s good, gracious and graceful for you to ENSURE you have a place you BELONG and you can call THERE – a place you entrust your well-being in SCRIPTURAL TRUTH in Christ Jesus; and is the place where you are FEED with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of God in Christ Jesus just as the BEREAN CHRISTIAN’S. Jeremiah 3: 15; Acts 17:10-13. And hopefully, is not a place of gimmicks, philosophy, traditions, dogmas, oblations, creed, bye-laws and trash of what you want to hear even when it’s clear there are unscriptural – for in such atmosphere you will be as guilty as that so called Pastoral whom you can sense Scripturally that he/she has lost it, while you still listen to and desire such error and mistaken preaching and teaching to fill up your void places.

** Are you a GOSPEL Minister to the congregation of God’s precious people?

Ensure you FEED them to the KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING of our God in doing life on earth for good, while heavenly mindful; and as a goodwill Minister of grace and Pastoral Shepherd of God’s precious people – and Not A Story Teller, Dubious, Cunning, Crafty Manipulator and or as a Extortionate.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the congregation, 17 who may GO OUT before them and GO IN before them, who may LEAD them out and bring them in, that the congregation of the Lord may not be like SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD.”  Numbers 27:16-17.

“Then the brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to BEREA. When they arrived, they went into the SYNAGOGUE of the Jews. 11 These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED THE WORD with all READINESS, and SEARCHED the SCRIPTURES DAILY to find out whether these things were so. 12 Therefore many of them BELIEVED, and also not a few of the Greeks, PROMINENT women as well as men” Acts 17:10-12.

“SOME indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and SOME also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, WHETHER IN PRETENCE, OR IN TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.
