WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2024: MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS ENTITLED – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“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.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“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.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

Further Scriptural Reading Text: Romans 4:1-25.

WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2024: MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS ENTITLED – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

The Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year of the Gregorian and Julian calendar. It’s the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month April is associated with springtime indicating – BLESSEDNESS, NEW BEGINNINGS, and a time to BLOSSOM, REFRESH and REJUVENATE, REKINDLE and MORE.

And as the Month April theme thus indicated the BLESSEDNESS of God, there’s the path to access and to have an entrance to the blessedness – which of cause, is a matter of BELIEVING – BECOMING A BELIEVING ONE, hence as a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, it’s entitled – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE” even as Jesus put forth before the one in need of God’s BLESSEDNESS from Him. For it’s not by going to Church gathering services, being indoctrinated to a denominational creeds, bylaws, traditions and dogmas that ends up making the word of God of no effect – but it’s about our BELIEVE/BELIEVING, and in this case – SCRIPTURALLY, and it’s irrespective, and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. For when you WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] BELIEVE, you will also be WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] ACTING in the name of FAITH and be held down there by the bondage of religion and religiosity at your own detriments.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have DELIVERED: and MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE” Mark 7:12-13.

Most times, it’s not a matter of having faith or exercising FAITH but it’s a matter of – IF YOU ACTUALLY and GENUINELY BELIEVE on that which you ARE earnestly desiring of God and upon what SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT do you BELIEVE, to enable you to ACT upon by FAITH – wherein you can then please God and make Him cause His WORD to tangibly make out your reality in Him.

“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.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

Often of the time, Jesus Christ will ask those looking up to Him for answers to their life questions in all respect – [Health, sickness, family, relationship, peace, security, prosperity, career, business, marriage, etc]; He wants to ensure for their own assurance, in order for them not to be confused and deceived by others afterwards of their BLESSEDNESS, hence sometimes He ensured by asking them – IF THEY DO BELIEVE TO OWN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HE CAN DO – especially on the request they are asking of Him; and this is to necessitate that they are not necessarily wanting an answer because of their desperation for an immediate solution; then disappear and appear again when there’s another life challenges without a steadfast believing stand in the faith. For many just wants solution to their life problems and hurdles and not necessarily because they BELIEVE in the services of God in scriptural context. For many WALKED AWAY from Christ Jesus in His humanity ministerial cause for human redemption, especially when matters of their BELIEVING of Him was challenged by the necessary scriptural context He put out before them. [Kindly read in full – John 6:1-71].

“. . . 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye SEEK me, not because ye SAW [BELIEVE] the miracles, but because ye did EAT of the loaves, and were FILLED . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent . . . 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life . . . 64 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him . . . 66 From that time MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:1-71. [Read it all in full]

For without believe or believing, it’s impossible to actualise the enabling faith upon the grace of God that brings about answers to human questions not only for the moment of needs but for the sustainability upon the scriptures. They’re many today who DO NOT BELIEVE in the genuity of Christ Jesus to have come in the flesh and even the fulness of our redemption by God in Christ Jesus. Hence, we are informed by the Scripture to mark and note this set of sectarian people, and to earnestly contend to stay secured on the FAITH we stand upon, against their UNBELIEF [UNBELIEVE, UNBELIEVING] sectarianism, which repercussions results from their WRONG [UNSCRIPTURAL] BELIEVE and BELIEVING foundation. [1 John 4:1-3; Jude 1:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

For to BELIEVE is PASSIVE and to have FAITH is ACTIVE. Believe is like the default that ought to be there before the activation of faith for results to manifest or reveal tangibly. For FAITH is acting upon what you BELIEVE of God accordingly, to the scriptural context in used. For BLESSED is the one that BELIEVE first, then go to act upon as an act of FAITH, upon that scriptural context of believe – therein God will certainly do His will in His WORD – meaning, God will then perform His promise to them that BELIEVES on His possibility promise.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27 [Matthew 19:26].

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:37, 45.

So, that question or matters of life that you are bothered about and want an answer from God in Christ Jesus, do you actually BELIEVE that God can sorts it out for you without you with you having other plan B’s and second consideration thoughts and alternatives –  knowing that God searches the reins, hearts and thoughts of man [Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27], can you take a believing stand to the end, especially if it’s a matter that requires faith and patience to make it a reality? Can you be patience to wait, and will you wait through patience untill God’s promise comes to your reality for you?

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] 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 [SLUGGISH, SLUGGARD], but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12.

POSSIBILITY and IMPOSSIBILITY is possible with God if you can BELIEVE. God knows how to make all things [good and bad, possible and impossible] to become possible – come to fruition in fulfilling His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for you both in the now and tomorrow.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP.

Just know that to BELIEVE is personal, and it’s firstly to – ACKNOWLEDGED, OWNED, be CONVINCED and such like, thereby ensuring the enabling and needed scriptural context of FAITH to become activated for the reality and realisation of one’s desires in essence. And it’s in this context of acknowledging, owning and being personally convinced, that God is able to act, and to make all things both possible and impossible, to be all possible accordingly. [Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23-24].

And you must also come to realise, that, to BELIEVE ON Him and to BELIEVE IN Him are not the same but are both important in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that in this Month of BLESSEDNESS, you can believe God in Christ Jesus to be BLESSED accordingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“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.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE

ENSURING POWER AND GRACE: IT’S ABOUT PERCEPTION AND REFLECTION!

“And David PERCEIVED that the Lord had established him king over Israel, and that he had EXALTED his kingdom for his people Israel’s sake” 2 Samuel 5:12.

Your REFLECTION of godliness is the outcome of your PERCEPTION of the WORD of God that’s within your reach. When you PERCEIVE wrongly, you REFLECT wrongly. You are REFLECTING what you are today as a result of the PERCEPTION you have of God’s WORD in every subject that concerns you and probably others. Hence, you don’t have to blame any – and it’s irrelevant how long you’ve been on that PERCEPTION trajectory. And if it’s wrong, you can make a change today and now, in order to enjoy the fulness of God in His POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME.

PERCEPTION is not a FEELING. PERCEPTION is of the Spirit – spiritual – of your innermost being by the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God, while FEELING is of the flesh – the SENSES – which is a by-product of SUSPICION, by defining matters from how you – see, taste, touch, smell and hear – about it. Living a life of PERCEPTION by the WORD of God DELIVERS from living a life of SUSPICION that makes one REFLECT wrongly about matters of life and godliness in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well today, that, it’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD in matters of life and godliness that you REFLECT in your world of doing life and godly living.

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

And that means, that the level of the operation and manifestations of the POWER of God to FUNCTION and the GRACE of God to BECOME in everyway of doing life and living godly, are define within the concept of your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD in any particular subject _ and that gives the outcome that you are currently REFLECTING and may have experience in your worlds.

It’s how you PERCEIVE of God’s WORD that you REFLECT in subject as: Christian marriage, Christian gathering, Christian Prayer and Fasting, Christian giving, Christian and politics, Christian and medicine, Christian and Prosperity, Christian and Leadership, Christian and Unbelieving Relationship and such like.

Just examine these three SCRIPTURAL examples that their PERCEPTION of God’s WORD or SAYING also REFLECTED what brought the changes in their walk with God:

** ABRAHAM – As far as you can PERCEIVE – so you can REFLECT, God told him – Genesis 22:3-19.

** THE BLIND MAN – What do you PERCEIVE, Jesus asked the blind man – I PERCEIVED men as TREES (REFLECTION) and then when helped to PERCEIVED well, he REFLECTED his good sight afterwards – Mark 8:23-25.

** JEREMIAH – what do you PERCEIVE – what he perceived then changed his mischaracterization of himself to REFLECT the new him – Jeremiah 1:11-12.

You can’t LIVE to REFLECT beyond your PERCEPTION of God’s WORD. Hence, the amount of availability of God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME is as experienced by the Apostles.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

I PRAY that you begin to study God’s WORD for yourself in order to have your own personal PERCEPTION as Timothy did as he was instructed by Apostle Paul, to give him the needed REFLECTION of himself with God.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, PERCEIVED the GRACE that was GIVEN unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision” Galatians 2:9.

“And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he SAW (PERCEIVED) ought. 24 And he looked up, and said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) men as TREES (REFLECTION), walking. 25 After that he put his hands again upon his EYES (PERCEPTION), and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw (PERCEIVED) every man clearly (REFLECTION)” Mark 8:23-25 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 11 Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what SEEST (PERCEIVE) thou? And I said, I SEE (PERCEIVE) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my WORD to PERFORM (REFLECT) it . . .” Jeremiah 1:1-19 Emphasis Mine.

“And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were ASSEMBLED TOGETHER; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they SPAKE THE WORD of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:31, 33.

“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, throughly FURNISHED unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“And the Lord brought Abram outside [his tent into the night] and said, “LOOK (PERCEIVE) now toward the heavens and COUNT (PERCEIVE) the stars—if you are able to COUNT (PERCEIVE) them.” Then He said to him, “So [numerous] shall your descendants be (REFLECTION)” 6 Then Abram believed in (affirmed, trusted in, relied on, remained steadfast to) the Lord; and He counted (credited) it to him [a]as righteousness (doing right in regard to God and man)” Genesis 15:5-6 Amplified. (Genesis 22:3-19).

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS

PASTORAL OBLIGATIONS: TO FEED THE FLOCKS OF GOD HEALTHILY – WITH ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE!

“GO, STAND and SPEAK in the TEMPLE to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

My dear Pastor’s, the time is come and it’s now, when you need to FEED the Flocks of God HEALTHILY with THE TRUTH, in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, that will PROFIT them in the Kingdom; and to cause them to enjoy the grace and BLESSEDNESS of eternal life from this side of heaven – Matthew 6:10. This is to enable them to be heavenly mindful and of earthly good.

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS . . .” Proverbs 27:23-27.

We need to FEED them in such a way that they can KNOW God as the only true Father God and Jesus Christ as the only way for human SALVATION – in all about their Redemption; and all these by the effectual works of the BLESSED Holy Spirit of grace. John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12.

This is not the time to FEED them with moon light storytelling if you’ve been DOING that with traditional dogmas and fables, endless genealogies, religious oblations, demonic dogmas, denominational creeds, social media myths and gimmicks and philosophy and such like. For all those will leads to more bondage, satan and satanic cohorts,  demonic evil works and entanglement, and many more such likes, as we’ve seen, and do see and witness across the boards these days in various media platforms and supposedly called worship centres. Only the TRUTH sets free and gives the enabling promise of the word for the good of all

“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 8:31-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

I sincerely plead with you Flocks today and right now – be warn where you go to FEED. Go for the THE TRUTH in knowledge and understanding in Christ Jesus stead. Your definition in life and grace is in your FEEDING on the TRUTH, toward your well being in Christ Jesus stead. And in this challenging time of the FAMINE of THE WORD of God, you need to ensure that in your getting, get the knowledge and understanding of the truth, that the wisdom that’s profitable to direct your life affairs are WITHIN reach. Proverbs 4:7; Ecclesiastes 10:10. Amos 8:12-13.

God’s PROMISE to you is this and you can hold Him to It; for He’s good and faithful, true and sure to His WORD.

“And I will GIVE you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

In This CHALLENGING Time – Only The WORD of Grace Makes The Difference – FEED God’s People Healthily, for we are in the FAMINE of the WORD of TRUTH. Amos 8:11-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE” Acts 5:20.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15

“And this is life eternal, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

“And this is the record, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and THIS LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.

“. . . 20 And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:16-21.

“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, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

“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.

“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 8:31-32.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, THE TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me” John 14:6.

“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” Amos 8:11-13.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore GET WISDOM: and with all thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“If the iron be BLUNT, and he do not WHET the edge, then must he put to MORE strength: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to DIRECT” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

Further Scriptural Meditation – John 21:15-17; 2 Timothy 2:13-19; 1 Timothy 1:1-7; 1 Timothy 2:5; Acts 4:12; Acts 20:16-21; 1 Timothy 4:7-8.

“A GLORIOUS high throne from the BEGINNING is the PLACE of our SANCTUARY” Jeremiah 17:12.

The sky is such big that two birds can hardly collide or worried of space. Hence there’s no room for jealousy or limitation. You are LIMITED when you STAY FOCUS in the CROWDED PLACE, that is, on the ground where there’s no VISION, DILIGENCE and PURPOSE. Look up and behold your great place of salvation where all things are possible.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who LOVE God, to those who are CALLED according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“In Him also we have RECEIVED an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been PREDESTINED (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the PURPOSE of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:11-12/AMP.

When you set your being on the glorious, gracious and graceful place wherein Christ had made you free, there would be no room for unwelcome entanglement, limitation, envy, hypocrisy and jealousy and such like.

You are REDEEMED in GRACE – positioned and conditioned to SUCCEED In LIFE and GODLY Living by God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, rise up, dress up on your NEW you in God by Christ Jesus – doing life and living godly, in the fulness of what you are born of God to become meaningfully in purpose and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.

“Stand fast therefore in the LIBERTY (FREEDOM) wherewith Christ hath MADE us free, and be not ENTANGLED again with the yoke of BONDAGE (LIMITATIONS)” Galatians 5:1 (Emphasis Mine).

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might shew the EXCEEDING RICHES OF HIS GRACE in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8 For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the GIFT of God” Ephesians 2:6-8.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when he RAISED him from the dead, and SET him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

GUARD SEX SACREDNESS

GUARD SEX SACREDNESS: IT ENHANCES THE COVENANT OF GRACE IN MARRIAGE!

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN, And RUNNING WATER from your OWN WELL” Proverbs 5:15 NKJV.

“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).

SEX they say – is it of God? YES – IT’S OF GOD! It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enhancing and enacting to strengthen the covenant of grace in marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose only. Knowingly or unknowingly – it has DIVINE purpose and implications affecting our very LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Hence don’t fall into the hands of God’s ANGER which could be a SCARE in all your act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“It is a FEARFUL and TERRIFYING thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]” Hebrews 10:31 Amplified.

In accessing SEX outside the MARITAL CONTEXT for CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX, is not just only about it been a SIN, it thus hindered the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plan, purpose and pursuit in one’s life; and it switched off communion of an effectual walk with God in all that pertains to one in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and it makes you vulnerable, PREY and defenseless in everyway if you intend to have God as your shield and defence.

IT’S A CHOICE IN LIFE TO SAY YES OR SAY NO TO SEX GRATIFICATION OUTSIDE MARRIAGE:

** TO SAY YES IS TO GIVE IN FOR SELF GRATIFICATION AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES – ARE YOU TRULY READY?

** TO SAY NO TO SELF GRATIFICATION IS TO HAVE DIVINE INTENT IN ALL YOUR DOING IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING – DON’T YOU LOVE IT?

If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT of God therefore, then FLEE from all its appearances at any form or formats and PATIENTLY WAIT for your MARITAL SET TIME in grace; and if married, DIGNIFY your marital covenant of grace and ABSCOND from extramarital acts and abuses. COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – IN PURITY OF HEARTS, THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND IN ACTS.

HENCE I SAY: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? 2-6 Certainly—but only within a certain context. It’s good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. SEXUAL DRIVES ARE STRONG, but MARRIAGE is STRONG enough to CONTAIN them and provide for a BALANCED and FULFILLING sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to “stand up for your rights.” Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it’s for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I’m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them” 1 Corinthians 7:1—6 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.

“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN [of a pure marriage relationship] And FRESH running WATER from your OWN WELL. 16  Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets? 17 [Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you. 18  Let your FOUNTAIN (WIFE) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth” Proverbs 5:15-18 AMPLIFIED.

“Drink water from your OWN well— share your love only with YOUR wife” Proverbs 5:15 NLT.

“Therefore, if anyone CLEANSES himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 RUN AWAY FROM YOUTHFUL LUSTS—PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, AND PEACE with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a PURE heart. 23 But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels” 2 Timothy 2:21-23 Amplified.

“But the one who is UNITED and JOINED to the Lord is ONE spirit with Him. 18 RUN AWAY FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is OUTSIDE the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins AGAINST his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?” 1 Corinthians 6:17-19 Amplified.

SPEAK FORTH WELLNESS For Your HEALTHY Well-Being: You BECOME What You SOW – In WORDS!

“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.

WORDS ARE SEEDS and SEEDLINGS that we sow in the now and in the then, and the WORD as SEED, respond to the kinds of atmosphere you allowed for it to grow and blossom. The onward and upward trajectory could be healthy or unhealthy to one’s total well being. When the healthy atmosphere to sow the seed are created, they give LIFE and GRACE to one’s well being. When unhealthy atmosphere are created to the sowing, they give back to defeat, failures and some times deadly environment if not even death – [Proverbs 6:2].

YOU ARE YOUR WORDS AND THE PRODUCT DEFINES YOU.

“The WORDS of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the MOUTH of the upright shall DELIVER them . . . 12 A man shall be SATISFIED with good by the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH . . . 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword:  BUT THE TONGUE OF THE WISE IS HEALTH” Proverbs 12: 6, 14, 18.

WORDS are not just POWERFUL, but are CREATIVE MEDICINE that defines us, and not just our bodily well being, but our spiritual, emotional, psychological and social well being as well. You are the product of the words you speak to your being. You words defines you and creates the atmosphere that condition you state of mind to either RESPOND or REACT to matters of LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead – [Proverbs 6:2; 18:20-21].

It’s time to speak Words Of LIFE and GRACE to all sphere of life that concerns you, instead of WORDS of Judgement, Fear, Defeat, Failure, Frustration, Inability, inferiority And Such Likes complex. For a good hearted person speaks goodness, graciousness and gracefulness out of the abundance within even in midst of absolute hopeless and impossibility, while an evil, defeated and disdained hearted person will speak same-like abundance from the within of sentiments, prejudice, setbacks, crafty, defeat, blames, failure, depression and such likes into their well-being. You need to SPEAK FORTH well to live well. Words will create and define the atmosphere and direction of travel that you wants to enjoy in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead – [Luke 6:45].

SPEAKING FORTH words of LIFE and GRACE is not about speaking a mere POSITIVE WORDS, but about SPEAKING FORTH the Scriptural  good, gracious and graceful words in the light of the knowledge and understanding of your Redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus – [Acts 20:32; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 19:8-10]. Father God is held bound by His WORD, much more His promises on the count and account of all that Christ Jesus has become to us in REDEMPTION – [Hebrews 6:16-18]. And this affects every bound of doing LIFE and GODLINESS in God by Christ Jesus – [2 Peter 1:3-4; Ephesians 1:1-12; Colossians 1:1-14; Galatians 3:13-26].

Therefore, store up, fill up layers of gracious and graceful words of LIFE and GRACE into you being – [Job 22:21-23]. And you need to regurgitate these words over and over in your being to keep you readily healthy within, such that at point of utilising through SPEAKING FORTH, you have an enriched WORDS of LIFE and GRACE to deal with any and every level of matters and circumstances about you. Don’t wait until the battle day to get your words into your spirit Wellbeing. Be as the horse, made ready before the day of battle – [Proverbs 21:31]. It saves you from the bondage of regret and pain for your unpreparedness in your spoken and irretrievable said words.

I pray you give attention to the words you SPEAK FORTH this time of immense and enormous challenges to MATTERS of LIFE and GRACE. FOR YOUR DEFINITION IS IN YOUR SPOKEN WORD! Your WORLDS are FRAMED by your WORDS as God did – [Proverbs 6:2; Hebrews 11:3; Genesis 1:1-31].

BELIEVE Before You ACT

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!

“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 (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

You need to build your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.

“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 . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVAL for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable  you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.

FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.

Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

“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 . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of tREhings not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).

Be EMBOLDENED In The FAITH

Be EMBOLDENED In The FAITH: There’s No Room For The COWARDICE In The GOSPEL!

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

FEAR captivates, it torments and it robs one of purpose, it belittles one, intimidates one, and enshrined the COWARDICE mindsets into one’s being. Then steals ones joy, kills ones vision and destroys ones path to become in LIFE and GRACE.

“For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and PERSONAL DISCIPLINE [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7 AMPLIFIED.

“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.

Unlike Fear, FAITH pleases God, overcomes the WORLDS settings and it inspires, stimulates, empowers, strengthen and emboldened ones being in everyway to thrive, live meaningfully, purposefully and fulfilling in LIFE and GRACE.

“Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:3, 6.

Suffix to know that Jesus Christ is Saviour, Lord and King OVER ALL, irrespective of stands today. Hence, been a coward instead of been emboldened of the GOSPEL to make a difference in such a time as this PRESENT WORLD predicament, is unwarranted.

“. . . 36 The WORD which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—HE IS LORD OF ALL— . . .” Acts 10:34-37 NKJV.

Being emboldened in Christ Jesus through Faith, for FAITH is the only set PATH to ensure TRIUMPH and VICTORY over the current climate of human limitations in the world affairs of DOING LIFE and LIVING Godly in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

It’s time to say to oneself – IF GOD SAID IT, I BELIEVE IT AND THAT SETTLES IT. Just as in Bible days, they overcome him the enemy and cohorts by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB – Jesus Christ, and by their FAITH TESTIMONY and refused to compromised their FAITH even unto death possibility.

Today – are you EMBOLDENED IN YOUR FAITH in Christ Jesus? Or in the bondage of religion by belonging to a renowned denominational Church? Can you stand up TALL for your FAITH in Christ Jesus today? Which rules in you – FEAR or FAITH? JUST TO LET YOU KNOW – THERE’S NO MIDDLE GROUND!

“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.

Make your FAITH in Christ Jesus VISIBLE to give HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to humanity in such a time as this PRESENT WORLD predicament that has implications spiritually, physically and economically.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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. 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.

“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.

“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 . . . 19 For the EARNEST EXPECTATION of the creature waiteth for the MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS of God” Romans 8:15-16, 19.

“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.

“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 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, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak BOLDLY, as I OUGHT to speak” Ephesians 6:18-20.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD OF THEIR TESTIMONY; and they LOVED NOT THEIR LIVES UNTO THE DEATH” Revelation 12:11.

“For I am NOT ASHAMED of the GOSPEL (GOOD NEWS) of Christ, for it is God’s power working unto salvation [for deliverance from eternal death] to everyone who believes with a personal trust and a confident surrender and firm reliance, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, 17 For in the Gospel a righteousness which God ascribes is revealed, both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17/AMP [Classic Edition].

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS

DAILY FREEDOM OVER FEAR PHOBIAS: BE BUILT UP BY THE WORD OF FAITH AGAINST FEAR PHOBIAS!

“For God DID NOT GIVE us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of CALM and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control” 2 Timothy 1:6-7/AMP [Classic Edition].

Today’s food for thought – it’s for your daily FREEDOM over fear phobias; it’s for you to  build your faith against the spirit of fear – and to build faith is to hear and feed on the WORD – which is the sayings of God. For it’s TIME to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD – in order To build the STEADFAST FAITH that will enables you to RESIST – put to flight – the enemy and cohorts in their acts of EVIL and WICKEDNESS through FEAR; and to get the needed leverage to TRIUMPH over the EFFECT of FEAR by the FAITH in the WORD.

“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 .  .  . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

Therefore, give yourself to HEAR and FEED ON THE WORD until it gets HOLD OF YOU and gives you the enabling to GET RID of that FEAR PHOBIAS that have held you in bondage. It’s your FREEDOM DAY, for God made the day, that you might REJOICE, be GLAD and be FREE from EVERY EVIL and WICKEDNESS in such a times as this, in our World. Psalms 118:25; Galatians 1:3-5; Isaiah 54:17; Luke 10:17-20; Luke 1:68-75.

When you set your heart – your human spirit-being to LOVE the WORD of God and to accordingly FEED your spirit-being healthily, you are by such BUILDING up the WORD of FAITH to OVERCOME the world FEAR BONDAGES. When you are FEEDING your spirit-being by the WORD – the SAYINGS of God and not by TRASH and GARBAGE, you knowingly and unknowingly ACTIVE the perfect LOVE that cast out FEAR. Perfect LOVE that CAST out the spirit of FEAR is of the consequence of the WORD of God that one loves. And FAITH WORKS by LOVE. 1 John 5:3-5, 1 John 4:17-18; Galatians 5:6; John 8:31-32; Proverbs 4:20-23.

Therefore, be emboldened by FEEDING on the WORD of God, such that the WORD of FAITH, working through LOVE, gives you the enabling stand in GRACE, to ACCESS your SALVATION in Christ Jesus. And as you act on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in CONTEXT, and CONFESSING to that same WORD of FAITH generated through FEEDING on the WORD, you can become what the WORD says you can be in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 10: 8-10, 17; Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:1-2; Proverbs 18:20-21; Hebrews 10:23; Hebrews 4:14-16; Mark 11:20-24.

“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. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“But ye, beloved, BUILDING UP yourselves on your most HOLY FAITH, PRAYING in the Holy Ghost” Jude 1:20.

“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.
