BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE

By Leave a Comment

BEING FRUITFUL, BLOSSOMING AND FLOURISHING IN GRACE: FOR IN GOD IN GRACE  – AGE DOESN’T LIMIT ANY IN FRUITFULNESS!

God gives the enabling grace – anointing – to make us FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in Him. And it is an indication of Him being our ROCK and without UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him. Psalms 92:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

The act of FLOURISHING and FRUITFULNESS is not limited to a few. It’s available and reachable and liveable to all, even at OLD age – NO LIMITATIONS IN GRACE – Galatians 3:26-29; Psalms 92:12-15. Hence, there’s no room to make excuses, complain, blame and assume there’s someone responsible and accountable for your UNPRODUCTIVE and UNFRUITFUL state in life, when and while all signs and indications of blossoming and flourishing are there. If there’s anything to blame, it’s one’s IGNORANCE to THINK that a mere blossoming and flourishing is sufficient without FRUITFULNESS. Unfortunately, God winked at ignorance. Acts 17:30-31.

Think about this – Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, while in humanity have to rebuke with woe to the PHARISEES and SCRIBES, who thinks that a mere paying of their TITHE is sufficient to ACCESS God’s favor and to LEGISLATE spirituality, when they overlook the essence of  FRUITFULNESS and the fruitful character of JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITHFULNESS – Matthew 23:23. THINK about it – to BLOSSOM and FLOURISH but no FRUIT does not WIN God’s favor.

Therefore, get yourself PLANTED in the house of the Lord, in order to FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Don’t be a POTTED plant that is not ROOTED in a place and taken about places, but rather be a PLANTED plant that is ROOTED in the house of the Lord, in order to experience not just the segment of flourishing and blossoming as a Palm tree and a cedar in labor, but as a FRUITFUL one in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember that Christ Jesus CURSED a fig tree that was BLOSSOMING and FLOURISHING without FRUIT and FRUITFULNESS. Mark 11:11-14.

I PRAY that you will be ROOTED in your PLANTED place such that you will BLOSSOM and FLOURISH in Grace, and become fruitful in all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:2-4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was HUNGRY: 13 and seeing a FIG TREE AFAR OFF HAVING LEAVES, HE CAME, IF HAPLY HE MIGHT FIND ANY THING THEREON: AND WHEN HE CAME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, NO MAN EAT FRUIT of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it” Mark 11:11-14.

“But my HORN [my emblem of strength and power] You have EXALTED like that of a wild ox; I am ANOINTED with FRESH OIL [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12  The righteous will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will GROW like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14  [Growing in grace] they will still THRIVE and bear FRUIT and PROSPER in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my ROCK, and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:10-15 Amplified.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, hypocrites! For you give a TENTH (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 Amplified.

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.

SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON – FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT

By Leave a Comment

SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON – FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT: SOWING The SEED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – TO EFFECT THE PEACEABLE FRUIT(S) OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU!

God wants you to be FRUITFUL in every way in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. His FRUIT(S) of RIGHTEOUSNESS is a consequence of SOWING the SEED of RIGHTEOUSNESS. For like begat likes, just as a Lion doesn’t give birth to a Goat and a Mango fruit does not reproduce a Cashew fruit – Genesis 1:11-12; Matthew 12:33-36; Luke 6:43-45.

Our character fruit of righteousness will always reproduce after its kind as we continuously sow the character seed of righteousness in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead.

And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is PEACE toward God and humanity has a corresponding EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE forever in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, even as it’s written:

“And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE forever” Isaiah 32:17.

As a result of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in FRUITFULNESS, herein are SOME SCRIPTURAL WRIT PRINCIPLES that are worth pondering and noting:

1*. IT IS ONLY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE THAT’S ABLE TO INCREASE YOUR FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS YOU SOW YOUR SEED:

“And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. 10 NOW HE THAT MINISTERETH SEED TO THE SOWER BOTH MINISTER BREAD FOR YOUR FOOD, AND MULTIPLY YOUR SEED SOWN, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11.

2*. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH:

“For ye were SOMETIMES darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is acceptable unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

3*. SOWING THE PEACE OF THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WORTH A LIVING:

“But the WISDOM that is from ABOVE (HEAVENLY) is first PURE, then PEACEABLE, GENTLE, and EASY to be intreated, full of MERCY and GOOD FRUITS, without PARTIALITY, and without HYPOCRISY. 18 And THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is SOWN in peace of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

4*. ENSURING GODLY CHASTENING THAT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:

“. . .  11 Now no CHASTENING for the PRESENT seemeth to be joyous, but grievous (severe, painful): nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:1-11 Emphasis Mine.

  1. BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU:

“And this I pray, that your LOVE may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

  1. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS MUCH MORE THAN FOOD AND DRINK – IT’S ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:

“Let not then your GOOD BE EVIL SPOKEN OF: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that IN THESE THINGS SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18 Emphasis Mine.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, THE HERB YIELDING SEED, AND THE FRUIT TREE YIELDING FRUIT AFTER HIS KIND, WHOSE SEED IS IN ITSELF, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good” Genesis 1:11-12.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” Matthew 12:33-36.

“FOR A GOOD TREE BRINGETH NOT FORTH CORRUPT FRUIT; NEITHER DOTH A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the GOOD TREASURE OF HIS HEART bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the EVIL TREASURE OF HIS HEART bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh” Luke 6:43-45.

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

By Leave a Comment

IT’S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES – AND YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in economic and pandemic state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job losses and bereavement of love ones and acquaintance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodeling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do an upgrade by innovating, creating, initiating and exploring in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque; and to look inwards for an onwards and upwards trajectory match; and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience; and the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.

“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.

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, made REAL because of your God given endowment within (Hebrews 11:1-3). It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – (Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.

My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH: THE INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER – TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE!

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace, supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.

Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity, and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled, and mean people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29.

Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months, and each passing year, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus.

However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertain to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons:

** VIRTUE

** GODLINESS

** BROTHERLY KINDNESS

It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited:

“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”

DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT

By Leave a Comment

DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER IS THE SUSTAINABLE SPIRITUAL FRUIT FOR YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ATTRIBUTES! 

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or CHARM that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you want to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is only in pictures by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations.

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER – is defined and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is judged and examined apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morally.

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS and ENDOWMENT cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit that’s at work (operation) in us. It is the spiritual fruit ELEMENTS that formulate ones character, thereby ensuring that one is able to uphold integrity and etiquette with one’s charisma or charismatic endowment. The elements that makes up the spiritual fruit ARE but not limited to these:

** Love (Charitable)

** Joy

** Peace

** Longsuffering (Endurance)

** Gentleness

** Goodness (Virtue)

** Faith (Faithfulness)

** Meekness

** Temperance (Self Control)

** Patience

** Brotherly Kindness

** godliness

** Honesty

** Purity

** . . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more . . .

And where these elements that makes up the – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one can be able to live and ensure sustainability in grace with the endowed CHARISMA placements; and then, to do life and godliness, without making excuses or explaining reasons to any, just as Jesus did exhibited in humanity for our example as written in the Holy Writ of 1 Peter 2:21-25.

Beloved in Christ Jesus, know for sure and full well that you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness in all aspects of doing life and living godly. Therefore, make your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC GIFTS and TALENTED ENDOWMENT be sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavor in life when it’s graciously and gracefully in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But always remember in cause and course of doing life and living godly that ONLY your CHARACTER, makes you be truly you to WORTH the living after all.

I SAY THEN – DEFINE AND COLOUR YOUR LIFE WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT – FOR YOUR CHARACTER IS THE SUSTAINABLE SPIRITUAL FRUIT – FOR YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ATTRIBUTES TO BE OF WORTH.

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE WHEREIN YOU STAND

By Leave a Comment

HAVING AN UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE WHEREIN YOU STAND – IS THE LEVERAGE TO BE – ABOVE ONLY: IT GIVES THE NEEDED ALTITUDE TO OUTSMART YOUR TEACHERS AND TEXTBOOKS!

I don’t know who has been your TEACHER, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have a miniature short story of life from sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of the bulk of work to that greatness, is on the child/children’s shoulder in order for them to BECOME what they are PURPORTED to be in many ways too.

I remember while getting set for my secondary, my Dad of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me instruction to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he call me. Then said afterward, what’s my family name. I answered him accordingly. He said that as I leave for the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better off than he is. Meaning, that it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED I heard him.

And as a young teenager that has accepted Christ Jesus then, the only thing I could hear within, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbooks or workbooks way beyond what the school recommended in the syllabus to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad’s intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you, God.

Over time, my class Tutor will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while away for a staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised by such accord by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel and stole away my gifted Bible by my Uncle Austin, as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using same teaching syllabus materials as others. They NEVER knew that I have read in my Bible – Psalms 119:97-100 of what I can be if I give in to channel my life by God’s WORD. The Psalmist Scripture is the consequence of my KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31. And ever since, I knew that by the SCRIPTURES, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS, and the ANCIENT – (written records set before time by others in books and other life formats) if I will in my subject of interest. Simply because life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the QUEST of humanity. The rest today is history to God’s eternal glory. Amen.

I have shared the above foretaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS, and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to it as the WISDOM NUGGETS in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the Scriptures on that Trade, Family, Marriage, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such likes. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE and COMPREHENSIBLE as desired in the LIGHT of the SCRIPTURES. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before.

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE

By Leave a Comment

THE ESSENCE OF WISDOM IN DOING LIFE: THE PRINCIPLE OF HAVING ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!

“WISDOM is GOOD with an inheritance: and by it there is profit to them that see the sun. 12 For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge is, that WISDOM GIVETH LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“Through WISDOM is an house BUILDED; and by UNDERSTANDING it is ESTABLISHED: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is STRONG; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth STRENGTH. 6 For by WISE counsel thou shalt MAKE thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety” Proverbs 24:3-6.

“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

WISDOM, the excellent enabling to stand upon in grace in order to do life and godliness and to BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS is worth the pursuit in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ is become our wisdom in God to excellently do life and live godly as it’s written in the Holy Writ:

“. . . 22 For THE JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, AND THE GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . 30 But of him are ye in CHRIST JESUS, who of God is MADE unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:22-31.

And it’s high time to desire this PRINCIPAL thing –  called WISDOM, in one’s PASSIONATE endeavour; and to pursue life with or by PASSION/ZEAL, there is the need for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, in all sphere that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

To ensure the essence of WISDOM for excellence in all about doing life and living godly, herein for your perusal, are PRINCIPLES to think and ponder upon in respect to the pursuit in principle, of – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING – to ensure WISDOM:

PRINCIPLE 1 – THE PASSION/ZEAL ESSENCE:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise PASSION, is good for the living in doing life, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly in WISDOM ESSENCE, meaning, it can lead to foolishness and frustration. Hence a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end. It thus also means that being passionate about something such as – Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry, and such like the more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And this is simply the reason and why, as it’s written for our knowing:

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is, that they might be SAVED. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to ESTABLISH their OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the END of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 2 – THE KNOWLEDGE ESSENCE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very much appreciated until you’ve experienced the effect of IGNORANCE. Having the needed knowledge for a thing is very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. This is to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

However, be it known, that as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make a purpose meaningful and fulfilling. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitation in WISDOM ESSENCE, that there’s the need to add UNDERSTANDING to one’s KNOWLEDGE even as it’s written:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

PRINCIPLE 3 – THE UNDERSTANDING ESSENCE:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together in operation in one’s doings of anything, therein is the WISDOM ESSENCE. More so, one can then do life effectually, because the needed WISDOM ESSENCE will give one the enabling to live an accomplished and fulfilled life.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to ensure a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, and FULFILLING LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

Wisdom essence will always show up when one ensures that there’s a mixture of passion, knowledge, and understanding in one’s act of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“My child, LISTEN to what I say, and TREASURE my commands. 2 Tune your ears to WISDOM, and concentrate on UNDERSTANDING. 3 Cry out for insight, and ask for UNDERSTANDING. 4 Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like HIDDEN TREASURES. 5 Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain KNOWLEDGE of God. 6 For the Lord GRANTS WISDOM! From his mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING. 7 He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. 8 He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him. 9 Then you will understand what is right, just, and fair, and you will find the right way to go. 10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and KNOWLEDGE will FILL you with joy. 11 WISE choices will WATCH over you. UNDERSTANDING will KEEP you safe. 12 WISDOM will SAVE you from evil people, from those whose words are twisted. 13 These men turn from the right way to walk down dark paths. 14 They take pleasure in doing wrong, and they enjoy the twisted ways of evil. 15 Their actions are crooked, and their ways are wrong. 16 WISDOM will SAVE you from the immoral woman, from the seductive words of the promiscuous woman. 17 She has abandoned her husband and ignores the covenant she made before God” Proverbs 2:1-17 New Living Translation (NLT).

“The kingdom of heaven is like a [very precious] TREASURE hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again; then in his joy he goes and sells all he has and buys that field [securing the treasure for himself]. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 and upon finding a single pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matthew 13:44-46 Amplified.

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING FRUIT BEARING

By Leave a Comment

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING FRUIT BEARING: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE THROUGH ABIDING IN HIS WORD!

Desiring to be FRUITFUL? Desiring to ensure and be assured in FRUITFULNESS? Desiring to MATURE and be MATURING in FRUIT bearing? Desiring to abound in ABIDING FRUIT Bearing? That’s all possible in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Our Heavenly Father wants you in Christ Jesus’ stead to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in doing life and living godly in His grace in Christ Jesus’ stead. He wants you to be able to live meaningfully fulfilled in all you do, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, there’s the need for PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL living, in order to ensure FRUITFULNESS to THRIVE, toward a FULFILLING life.

PURPOSEFUL LIVING comes by ABIDING In God’s LOVE which is secured in ABIDING in His WORD. It, therefore, means, that as you ABIDE in God’s WORD, you will THRIVE in phases. Doing life is in PHASES just as men are in SIZES. However, SIZE only depends on how more or much one can take on the various PHASES that one encounters in the course and cause of time in doing life. It’s at this LIFE PHASES state, that the definition as to whether one is either going to THRIVE or be a SURVIVAL of the fittest as sometimes acclaimed. The phases in God’s BLESSEDNESS are culled from the Holy Writ of John 15:1-16, and every phase is very vital and important indeed. Herein are these PHASES:

  1. A NO FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  2. A FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  3. A MORE FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
  4. A MUCH FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 5, 8
  5. And an ABIDING FRUIT stage – Vs 16                                                               

THRIVING is an essence of God as in the above phases, and it must be noted that God takes one through the PHASES so that one can be able to be FRUITFUL, that’s FRUIT BEARING; more so, that one can eventually earn or attain to such MATURITY in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray you will THRIVE through each PHASE state with ease in grace; and by abiding in God’s LOVE and His WORD, you will in LIFE and GRACE, ABIDE in FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may this SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS of Philippians 1:9-11 and Ephesians 3:14-19, ABOUND with you as written:

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might through His Spirit in the INNER man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV.

“I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN. 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that BEARETH FRUIT, he PURGETH it, that it may bring FORTH MORE FRUIT. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man ABIDE not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might REMAIN (ABIDE) in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN (ABIDE, ABOUND): that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may ABOUND to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being ENRICHED in everything to all BOUNTIFULNESS, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the Spirit is IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:11.

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY

By Leave a Comment

THE KNOWING AND UNDERSTANDING OF – THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY: IT DELIVERS AND EMANCIPATES ONE FROM ERRORS – AND FROM BEING MISTAKEN!

Erring or being Mistaken in Scriptural terms indicates the idea of being DECEIVED and DECEIVING; but the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of “THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY” sets one FREE from being MISTAKEN and walking erroneously in a world where many wants to be RATIONALISTS to the Scriptures which is – The Living WORD of God.

That’s why you sometimes if not most times,  hear people in a way to cover up their deception and ignorance, will say – GOD UNDERSTANDS. God understands what? Their erroneous or deceptions or ignorance or state of being mistaken?

God wants you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the TRUTH that SETS you FREE, by you making an intentional commitment to see that the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING is your own personal RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY and not someone else’s. Meaning God wants you to be principled to DO or be DOING – that is – to Be DOER of His WORD and not RATIONALISTS, in order to be BLESSED INDEED – James 1:22-25.

Herein are three INCAPACITIES but not limited to the state of the RATIONALISTS:

*1* SELF DECEPTION (Romans 1:18-32).

*2* IGNORANCE OF THE SPIRITUAL CONTENT OF THE SCRIPTURES (Acts 13:27; Matthew 22:15-46).

*3*  THE DISBELIEF IN THE INTERVENTION OF DIVINE POWERS IN MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLY LIVING (2 Peter 3:1-9; 2 Peter 1:2-4).

God does not want us to be DECEIVED – living and walking in errors due to our ERRING on Scriptural Truth and in our IGNORANCE (lack of knowledge and understanding) of THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY.

This Is WISDOM – having the KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING that ensures and assures you of the enabling GRACE to STAND And BECOME in Christ Jesus Stead.

I pray you get WISDOM in KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING in order to ensure you are stable in SPIRITUAL MATTERS that pertain to LIVING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. AMEN.

THIS IS THE WISDOM: KNOWING And UNDERSTANDING – ENSURES THE GRACE TO STAND AND BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29.

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

“And the TIMES of this IGNORANCE God WINKED AT; but now commandeth all men everywhere to repent: 31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

“But be ye DOERS OF THE WORD, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his DEED”  James 1:22-25.

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy COMMANDMENTS hast MADE me WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than ALL my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than the ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 because that, when they KNEW God, they GLORIFIED HIM NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” Romans 1:20-22.

“For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they KNEW HIM NOT, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him” Acts 13:27.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“. . . 8 But, beloved, BE NOT IGNORANT of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” 2 Peter 3:1-9.

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE”

By Leave a Comment

MAY 2020: IT’S ABOUT HAVING AN – “UNDERSTANDING IN THE GRACE” – WHEREIN YOU STAND IN CHRIST JESUS!

“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.

GRACE, the enabling of God to and for us to STAND and BECOME whatsoever we want to be in Him, can be frustrated, utilised unrighteously and in vain or as a vain thing, where UNDERSTANDING is absent and misleading – Galatians 2:20-21; 1 Corinthians 15:10; Romans 1:18-21). It thus mean if only PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is all we have, the CONSEQUENCE of such is deadly to our walk  and work of FAITH to STAND and BECOME, in God, in Christ Jesus (Proverbs 21:15; Proverbs 13:15). So it’s very imperative that every decisions – acts of FAITH we dare to put FORTH in the GRACE of God in Christ Jesus stead, must be well UNDERSTOOD, otherwise it will cost us the losses of – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion), and sometimes people’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD, no matter how much we’ve tried. In advancing the KINGDOM CAUSES of our God at any acts and intent of living, and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay, PASSION and KNOWLEDGE is not enough – UNDERSTANDING is imperative and immeasurable in all.

“And of the CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were MEN THAT HAD UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT to DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and ALL THEIR BRETHREN were at their COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Therefore, it’s not enough to be ZEALOUS and PASSIONATE about anything, neither is it enough to be full of KNOWLEDGE; but until you come to the UNDERSTANDING of what you are passionate and knowledgeable about to carry out, you can’t go far to the fullness of what you can be in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

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

There’s therefore then the need to crave for UNDERSTANDING in the grace of God wherein we STAND as God’s People so that we can be the very best of God’s intent in our REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, otherwise we will be as good as a fool and ignorant. For its UNDERSTANDING that makes PASSION and KNOWLEDGE meaningful and fulfilling indeed.
