THREE GRACIOUS ELEMENTS TO BOND AND ABIDE WITH DAILY: HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE!

God is good and faithful, true and sure. Amen; but to ensure you enjoy God’s gracious, graceful, goodness and faithfulness, you must ABIDE and BOND with these three elements – HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE – in order to make and ensure life is worth living. Therefore, don’t give up due to any person’s or circumstances on your:

  1. WORK OF FAITH
  2. LABOUR OF LOVE
  3. PATIENCE OF HOPE.

These three gracious elements keep you above the waters of life. It thus means:

** Don’t just WORK, let it be the – WORK OF FAITH

** Don’t just LABOUR, let it be the – LABOUR OF LOVE and,

** Don’t just be PATIENT, let it be the – PATIENCE OF HOPE. For in time your expectations shall be and will not be cut off.

THERE’S NO MORE STRUGGLING IN DEFINING LOVE: FOR GOD IS LOVE!

I am graciously and gracefully glad to remind you and inform you at same time, of our New Creation way of doing life. It’s the only pathway called LOVE. Firstly is the God’s beautiful gift, given to us all to share, express life and do life toward Him and mankind without prejudice and irrespective of gender, culture, status, color, tongue and religion. For loving is giving and in giving, for God so LOVE that He gave. Love is of God. He who loves, knows God; God is the embodiment of LOVE. For love is God personified. 1 John 4:1-21; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13.

Love is also the most excellent way to covet spiritual gifts that give the enabling to live and do life in every way in Christ Jesus stead. The only way to express God and His goodness to others and to yourself. And as gracious and graceful FAITH is in the EFFECTUAL WALK with God, LOVE is the lubricant oil that makes FAITH to fellowship with God and man, to WORK in all likelihood of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Are you for any reason struggling in defining the genuineness of this kind of God’s LOVE – I encourage you to just have it settled now that – God Is LOVE. Meaning, God is the DEFINITION of Love, which is shed abroad in our hearts and thoughts by the blessed Holy Spirit of grace that is given to us as our enabler. Amen. Galatians 5:6; Romans 5:5, 8, 1 John 4:8, 16; 1 Corinthians 12:31.

May you live experiencing and expressing the blessed LOVE called AGAPE – God’s kind of LOVE.  The unconditional LOVE that’s POWERED by the indwelling Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5.

GOD IS LOVE; and he that dwelleth in LOVE dwelleth in God, and God in HIM . . .” 1 John 4:7-21.

“But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY” 1 Corinthians 12:31.

“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, I am nothing. 3 And though I BESTOW all my goods to FEED the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, BUT HAVE NOT LOVE, it profits me nothing . . . 13 And now ABIDE faith, hope, LOVE, these three; BUT THE GREATEST OF THESE IS LOVE” 1Corinthians13:1-13.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . .8 But God commendeth his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina.

You are either RAISED to BECOME IN GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being raised; that’s what makes life difference in so many. A MATURED HEARTED person is the consequence of BEING RAISED IN GROWTH. It cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION. Otherwise pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like traces shows up because there wasn’t any cultivation – of being raised. Hence you can see a grown adult lacking the ADULTHOOD principle of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY. You see these effects manifesting in places of opportunities: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions and Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conducts test, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord, as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GREW, He submitted Himself to be raised through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfill PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be RAISED in order to GROW and MATURED for the CALLED PURPOSE; and being MADE and ready to be, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW without being RAISED along to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character, were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some, who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised, and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish behavior no matter their attainments in life.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? Or did you just GREW to Become and or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE and WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME.

It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLED enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

IS WORTH BEING RAISED IN GROWTH TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

BE BLESSED.

“SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES; for in them ye think ye have ETERNAL LIFE: and they are they which testify of me” John 5:39.

“It is the GLORY of God to CONCEAL a thing: but the HONOUR of kings is to SEARCH out a matter” Proverbs 25:2 (Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-10).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were MORE NOBLE than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honorable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few” Acts 17:10-12.

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS: THESE GIFTS ARE GIVEN TO EDIFY – BUILD-UP, MATURE, COMPLETE AND PROFIT – ALL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CALLINGS AND SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY)!

“There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the MANIFESTATION of the Spirit is GIVEN TO EACH ONE FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL” 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NKJV.

About a week ago, I went out to get a replacement pressing Iron for the house while on my way to doing the set day schedule and activities. My natural instinct was to go to the same shopping Centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me as always, the Holy Spirit sayings that I should check the MOBILE APP of another shop in another shopping Centre location which wasn’t an intended plan by me. So I did check the MOBILE APP as I was instructed, to see the kind of the pressing Iron I intend to buy as I have heard. And when I have done so, I went into the shopping mall that I have just parked, while the MOBILE APP was still active on my phone to see reasons and instructions. To my awesome surprise, as saying, lo and behold, the exact intending pressing Iron was there but there was a problem – 10% difference in the prices and the warranty terms of difference in comparison to the shop that I was instructed to check by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. As prudence is the scriptural essence, I left to the shopping mall of the MOBILE APP as I was informed and instructed of the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. I found PEACE at such obedience and SAVINGS in cost of buying and ASSURANCE of the needed warranty to my purchase. The essence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS in us is at WORK within me to lead and guide as in our REDEMPTION bill of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The essence is just about living life and OBEYING THE INSTRUCTIONS of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within you of Him as written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 2:20, 27.

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

Why is the said storylines above of the pressing Iron? Does it matter? Won’t common sense should have told me obviously about that or what I should have done that check earlier and anyway before leaving home? Whatever you leaned toward, what’s important in the whole sum, is that, there’s an answer in ESSENCE to any of our situation and circumstances; it also thus indicate, that, no matter the circumstances and situations we found ourselves, knowingly and unknowingly, that, the ever PRESENCE of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS of the Holy Spirit within us does WORKS; and its PRESENCE in our Christian life, is to help build up, complete and mature our triune being in every way and everywhere, while we make daily decisions in our callings, skills/talents (ability), in fulfilling purpose, while doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

When you get BORN AGAIN (giving your whole being to believe in God through the redemption act of Christ Jesus as your Savior and Lord) and be BAPTISED with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in essence comes along with His CHARISMATIC GIFTS to dwell in you the believing one, to help build you up, complete you and mature your well-being in humanity, in respect of doing live and living godly through any and all of these but not limited:

 

(A). ***Your Spiritual CALLINGS (Ministerial/Others) – Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-30; Ephesians 4:11. Numbers 11:24-30; 1 John 2:20, 27.

 

(B). ***Your Human SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY) – Daniel 1:17; Ecclesiastes 9:11; 2 Chronicles 34:12; 2 Chronicles 2:7-8; Nehemiah 5:8; Proverbs 18:15-16; 1 John 2:20, 27.

Just for clarification, each and every one of the believing ones in Christ Jesus is given the charismatic gifts by THE MEASURE of God’s grace and not by A MEASURE, according to the given callings and skills/talent (ability) that we are respectively involved in our doing life and godliness. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; 1 John 2:20, 27. It thus means you have all it takes within you by the Holy Spirit to do life and live godly unlimitedly, except you chose to frustrate such endowed grace that’s given to you to be built up and mature in humanity as some who misuses their opportunities for righteous cause –  Galatians 2:21; Romans 1:18.

“I do not FRUSTRATE (SET ASIDE) the GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:21 Emphasis Mine.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who SUPPRESS the TRUTH in unrighteousness” Romans 1:18 NKJV.

Now, know that when Christ Jesus led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His ascending to the heavenly, in the CAUSE of our REDEMPTION, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE these gifts to us (as explained in some of my past post). Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Revelation 12:9-12. One aspect of the GIFT is the gift of the comforter, teacher, helper and more – the blessed Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1 :11-14; John 14:15-17, 26; Luke 24:49; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-20; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; Romans 8:26-27. And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS. I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made physical – tangible, touchable and reachable. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or synergy within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm, booster, and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it, but however, everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For 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 wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD  makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus stead.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT-UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as it is written:

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

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations. These spiritual fruits that formulate one’s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are not limited as in these Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.

There are nine (9) major of these charismatic gifts that are given to us to be BUILT-UP and MATURED to HELP us to live in the realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in the cause of doing life and living godly. So the believing ones have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY – BUILD UP – and MATURE each order in Christ Jesus and not the other way round as we see some today:

ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, who are less or and in a vulnerable state by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while they are OTHERS who used theirs to create SCHISM – DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE and such like, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus – Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And for such that cause schisms, contentions, disorders and such like,  you need keep away and at bay, as Apostle Paul warns too – Romans 16:17-18; Timothy 1:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:17-19; 1 Corinthians 3:2-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

However, these NINE (9) CHARISMATIC GIFTS can be classified in the context of 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 in this principle:

  1. The REVELATION Gifts – The gifts that REVEALS things: THE WORD OF WISDOM; THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE; THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
  2. The POWER Gifts – The gifts that DOES things: THE GIFT OF FAITH; THE WORKING OF MIRACLES; THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS.
  3. The INSPIRATIONAL Gifts – The gifts that INSPIRE things: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; THE DIVERSE (DIFFERENT) KINDS OF TONGUES.

Each of the above gifts are given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit as one earnestly desire their PRESENCE in one’s work and walk with God in Christ Jesus stead. Whether is about your ministerial calling and or to others as business and entrepreneurship, family, marital and friendship relationship, career pursuit, leadership and governance at any level,    matters of creativity, innovation, exploring and such like, the CHARISMATIC GIFTS are here for your well-being to grow, thrive and to be fulfilled meaningfully. 1 Corinthians 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 39-40.

I pray that you find the reason not to depend on yourself, but on the Holy Spirit of promise, that He might give you the needed CHARISMATIC GIFTS, in order to fulfill PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:7-10.

“Now concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to each one FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL: 8 for to one is given THE WORD OF WISDOM through the Spirit, to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE through the same Spirit, 9 to another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS OF HEALINGS by the same Spirit, 10 to another THE WORKING OF MIRACLES, to another PROPHECY, to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, to another DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, to another the INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. 11 But one and the SAME SPIRIT WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, distributing to each one individually as He wills”

THE NEW CREATION MINDSET

THE NEW CREATION MINDSET: THE DAILY ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS OF BEING TRULY FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS!

DO YOU DAILY PERCEIVE THE SAME ASSURED CONSCIOUSNESS IN YOUR BEING THAT YOU ARE FREE INDEED IN CHRIST JESUS OR YOU STILL QUESTION WHO YOU ARE AND WHEREIN YOU DO STAND IN GRACE THROUGH FAITH 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.

What is it that sets you up and enlightens your day, every morning? Is it based on – the house you live; the sorts of car you drive; the size of your bank account; the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; the career you are into; the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to be a Pastor and Pastoring; the trophies, ornaments, treasures or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; WHAT SETS YOU UP AND BRIGHTENS UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND EACH MORNING

What does the quality of your life depend upon and how is it measured. How do you actually define the graciousness and gracefulness of your God-given opportunity to do life and live godly on earth in humanity? Does the scripture of Luke 12:15, ever trigger your daily stand and well-being in Christ Jesus; especially in the daily PURSUIT of all that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS as it’s written?

“And he said unto them, TAKE HEED, and BEWARE of covetousness: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH not in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15.

For me, the quality of daily well-being in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, is the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of being ASSURED that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That God LOVES me and HIS presence lives IN me and He’s WITH me and He’s FOR me – and that knowing and understanding is PRECIOUS and PRICELESS! That’s what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE and synergy to win my day for me and all about me for others. WHAT ABOUT YOU?

More so, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the NEW CREATION have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and that my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it CAN’T hold back my TODAY and TOMORROW anymore; and because of what Jesus has DONE in redemption for me, to wash (erased) away my sin and to cleans me from EVERY UNRIGHTEOUSNESS by His precious and REDEEMING BLOOD.

What a true freedom, for me and you to live ASSURED from the synergy of the eternal God, every morning and everyday unashamed, unafraid and unperturbed in Christ Jesus. Amen. And much more, the KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that His STEDFAST LOVE never ceases and are new every morning and everyday towards you and I – That’s GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL indeed to me.

“But God FORBID that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been CRUCIFIED to me, and I to the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION AVAILS ANYTHING, BUT A NEW CREATION” Galatians 6:14-15 NKJV.

“God’s loyal LOVE couldn’t have RUN OUT, his merciful love couldn’t have dried up. They’re CREATED NEW every morning. How great your faithfulness! I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over). He’s all I’ve got left.” Lamentations 3:22-24 (The Message Bible).

“Seeing ye have PURIFIED your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth forever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth forever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity and PASSETH BY the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER forever, because he DELIGHTETH in MERCY. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS into the DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST

By Leave a Comment

THE NEW CREATION YOU – HAVE NO PAST: YOU CAN BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN THE GRACE!

 If any man be in Christ, He is a New Creation the Holy Writ says – is that difficult to know and understand as it’s written?

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL THINGS have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

I reason and know that at baby birth, watching my lovely, gracious and graceful wife bringing forth the wonderful and fabulous children to BEING, that each of them had no history for me to reckon unto them for any reason. I see in them a brand new personality arriving to CHART and THRIVE a NEW PATH of life. I saw no PAST but a NEW DAWN in them and for them to innovate, create, initiate, manoeuvre and explore the atmosphere they love and would love to have and enjoy in grace and life in humanity and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

That’s what I PERCEIVE when I gave my life to Christ Jesus – in the knowing and understanding, that my PAST has become irrelevant and a NEW me in Christ Jesus is BORN and DAWN – for uniqueness and greatness in relation to all about me in God’s REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Upon the above scenario I am emboldened to say to you – Don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear phobias of starting or completing your life intended plans, purposes and pursuits because of your PAST. For your PAST can’t hold back YOUR TODAY not TOMORROW in Christ Jesus, except you don’t  BELIEVE in your NEW DAWN and PERMIT your past to have a hold on and over you. Your belief will define your corresponding act of FAITH. And your act of FAITH will define your direction of travel in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

God’s REDEMPTION for you in Christ Jesus has CERTIFIED and JUSTIFIED the ACCESS for your full JOY and HAPPINESS that your PAST is insignificance to the DONE DEED to make you a NEW CREATION. In Christ Jesus, you are now built into a NEW FOUNDATION that erased every other foundation known and unknown that has held you back religiously, culturally, traditionally and such like. Romans 5:1-2; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 3:10-23; Colossians 2:1-23.

I want you to know full well that your FAITH in God can go killing giants and ACHIEVING GREATNESS, even when it seems all things has come to a halt, as you keep ACTING on the WORD. For FAITH is ACTING in and on what you BELIEVE on God’s eternal WORD accordingly. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH in Christ Jesus alive.

Therefore, DARE TO DREAM AGAIN, DARE TO BELIEVE AGAIN and DARE TO BECOME AGAIN. That’s what I considered to be the spirit behind every PLANS, PURPOSES and PURSUITS with an achiever mindset to BECOME in Christ Jesus stead. Amen – Romans 4:16-25.

Finally, Jesus said, “. . . ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” (Matthew 9:29) – that means, by your FAITH in Him through His WORD, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Romans 10:8-13.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW” 2 Corinthians 5:17.

“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 FOR IN CHRIST JESUS NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by faith into THIS GRACE WHEREIN WE STAND, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

” . . . FOR OTHER FOUNDATION CAN NO MAN LAY THAN THAT IS LAID, WHICH IS JESUS CHRIST. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:10-13.

“. . . As ye have therefore RECEIVED Christ Jesus the Lord, SO WALK YE IN HIM: 7 rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving. 8 BEWARE LEST ANY MAN SPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:1-23.

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that HE WHICH HATH BEGUN A GOOD WORK IN YOU will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 FOR THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the NAME of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13.

“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).
