READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY

READING – FACILITATES AN INFORMED SOCIETY: I FOUND A WRIT ON THE BRITISH NEW TEN (£10) POUNDS NOTE!

“I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817.

While relocating to UK years ago, one of my one time British friend and work colleagues in the Oil Sectors Industry said to me and family this statement:

“If you can READ – you CAN’T and WON’T get LOSS and live MISINFORMED; and you WON’T get cheated out so easily in life by any – meaning, INFORMATION is free there and available but you have to MAKE the CONSCIOUS effort to READ to KNOW and OWN IT”.

Honestly, he was very right indeed – And from the step down at the famous Heathrow Airport London, UK till date, I have found his statement and candid advice useful – finding READABLE signpost to almost everything in everywhere and everyway – there is INFORMATION available for almost everything, much more now with internet connectivity age. And indeed – it’s No wonder it’s called the “MOTHER AND HOME OF DEMOCRACY”.

However, I didn’t question all these years or found out FULL WELL why my Oil Sectors colleagues made such profound statement knowing I am EDUCATED and of course can READ while working together. But I found out recently a major LANDMARK while about paying for a service at the shop of which I have NEVER bothered to look at nor examined. I took a close examination of the money in my hand to pay for the service I have received. Written in a small print on the British Ten (£10) Pounds Note, is this inscription that will forever stay with me “I DECLARE AFTER ALL THERE IS NO ENJOYMENT AS READING” – Jane Austen 1775 – 1817. What an inspiring and empowering writ. Honestly, for such KNOWING as per the discovery that day, I changed my mind for once not to pay for the service received, with the cash note at hand, but paid instead with my debit card. It’s simply for such TREASURED INSCRIPTIONS that’s inspiring and empowering to TRIUMPH in life and grace. And it thus means so much to me also – the essence of READING that have defined and given triumph to an informed society that I’ve found myself dwelling.

It has REKINDLED me to now READ the more, ever than before though an Author in my own rights of books and literature publications; and especially, having a wife who does not welcome a wrongly spoken English at home. More so, in the words of my ever loving dear Mama who once said while getting me ready to be educated at School – “WE CAN’T ALL BE BLIND IN THIS HOUSE, SOMEBODY MUST READ AND WRITE – SO GO TO SCHOOL, AND SHE WILL PAY FOR IT”. I heard it and over again, I did left them that day with the mission as she said and later affirmed by my dad in same thoughts – to READ and WRITE, then the rest siblings followed suits and she paid along. Blessed she is, for her graciousnesss and gracefulness.

I challenge you today to see the NEED to READ. There’s TRIUMPH IN READING. Discovery gives recovery for self WORTH in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus stead. AND YOU CAN START TODAY. For there’s no LIMIT to what you can BECOME, if you RESOLVE and make the NEEDED conscious effort to be INFORMED in that which you intend to embark on or are dreading at right now, knowing being INFORMED will make all DIFFERENCE in doing life and godly living.

PUT AN END AND AT BAY TO IGNORANCE BY READING. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING EMANCIPATES, WHILE IGNORANCE IS DESTRUCTIVE AND CANCEROUS.

Two wisdom statement that was made years ago in my journey of saying YES to God, that I read from a teaching magazine in my library of FAITH, is of two incredible women of great devotion to God’s calling upon their respective life’s with their husbands of gracious memories. The statement is relevant to me today as it was when I first read them and store the magazine in my library. And that has MADE me value history as layers that must be properly LAID because of the EFFECT that it defines for today, tomorrow and years untold. These statements makes up my framework of the down memory lane in life and grace to the glory of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For we are not FOOLS, who chooses and prioritise the  call to take the CROSS daily and follow Him to the taking of the CROWN as would have been preferred by some. This have always been my ANSWER to those who question the Ministerial Call of the cross to their preferred crown for my Engineering field.

“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.

It’s worth REFLECTING now and always – for it keeps one focus from various distractions that abounds today. Thank you LORD God for the PRIVILEGE to be CALLED to SERVE in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“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).

“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ASK ANY THING ACCORDING to his WILL, he heareth us: 15 and if we KNOW that he HEAR us, WHATSOEVER we ASK, we KNOW that we have the PETITIONS that we DESIRED of him” 1 John 5:14-15.

IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE

IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE – TO HAVE ‘THE’ LIFE OR ‘A’ LIFE: BE WISE TO GET ‘THE’ FULNESS OF LIFE NOT ‘A’ PORTION AND ‘A’ PART OF LIFE!

“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.

Many times you hear people or someone say – Get ‘A’ Life. Most times the connotations is to make you get out of your high horse and do something meaningful or exciting or get engaged with the norm that’s around at the moment or the combinations of all and such like. To get ‘A’ life will limits you as a child of God, I can say that and tell you that because I know and understand the connotations. It thus indicates getting A PART or PORTION of the FULNESS of God for you in Christ Jesus. You are REDEEMED for the FULL DEAL OF LIFE AND NOT FOR A PART OR LIMITED DEAL OF LIFE. And THE LIFE is a person, that’s THE LIFE and THE LIGHT of men in the person of our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus, who then is THE WORD of God for our well-being. So, don’t just get A LIFE, but get THE LIFE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, THE WORD, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were MADE by him; and without him was not any thing MADE that was MADE. 4 In him was LIFE; and THE LIFE was the LIGHT of men. 5 And THE LIGHT shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not . . . 14 And THE WORD was MADE flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth . . . 16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ” John 1:1-5, 14, 16-17.

It’s time to Get ‘THE’ LIFE and not ‘A’ LIFE my friend. God wants you to have the FULNESS of life which is in Christ Jesus. What God offers in Christ Jesus is THE LIFE and not an ‘A’ LIFE. The Holy Writ do admonish and exhort that Jesus is the – ‘THE’ LIFE giver, not the – ‘A’ LIFE giver, which is toward DOING LIFE on earth and LIVING GODLY toward the heavenly. Look at the article ‘THE’ in the scriptural context of John 14:6, it says – ‘THE’ LIFE not ‘A’ LIFE. It thus indicates that the FULNESS is in Christ Jesus who offers THE LIFE and not A PART OR PORTION you get when propel by people to – GET ‘A’ LIFE.

This is to affirm also the Christian Faith is LIFE – THE LIFE – that is offered in the REDEMPTION OFFERING of Jesus Christ, which is not just A WAY of LIFE as some may have said or suggested as in religious circus. This is the Life which is in Christ Jesus and not of the five senses mindset of A WAY which many have been deluded with over time in COMMON sense and not SCRIPTURAL sense.

“For whatsoever things were WRITTEN aforetime were WRITTEN for our LEARNING, that we through PATIENCE and COMFORT of the SCRIPTURES might have HOPE” Romans 15:4.

You can infer this same insight to matter of Jesus Christ as – THE WAY and THE TRUTH. Meaning the CHRISTIAN FAITH in Christ Jesus is not of ‘A’ WAY or ‘A’ TRUTH but ‘THE’ WAY and ‘THE’ TRUTH. And it’s ONLY by ‘THE’ TRUTH in ‘THE’ WAY, that one can obtain SCRIPTURAL FREEDOM that is WHOLESOME indeed, and not by ‘A’ TRUTH or ‘A’ WAY. It’s upon this understanding, that the early Apostles where attributed as people of heresy and were persecuted as conveyor’s of heresy, as they were then nicknamed as people of – “THE WAY” – in the earlier Apostolic Christian walk in Christ Jesus stead.

“But this I confess unto thee, that after THE WAY which they CALL HERESY, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets” Acts 24:14.

I pray as you ponder meditatively you will get insight and foresight to the realm of the enabling that God offers in THE LIFE in Christ Jesus stead for your good and goodness in His BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

“For the PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God . . . 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 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 . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“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 (WHOLE, COMPLETE, FULLY, MATURED), throughly FURNISHED unto ALL good works” 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (Emphasis Mine).

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

“I THANK my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy faith may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and it’s EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every places in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“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.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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.

“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.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS ON HIS KINGDOM CAUSE: IT’S TIME FOR THE CHURCH TO ARISE AND BE ON GOD’S KINGDOM CAUSE!

“Shall the PREY be TAKEN from the MIGHTY, Or the CAPTIVES of the RIGHTEOUS be DELIVERED? 25 But thus says the Lord: “Even the CAPTIVES of the MIGHTY shall be TAKEN away, And the PREY of the TERRIBLE be  DELIVERED; For I will CONTEND with him who CONTENDS with you, And I will save your children. 26 I will FEED those who OPPRESS you with their own flesh, And they shall be drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine. All flesh shall know That I, the Lord, am your Savior, And your redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

The lawful captives must be free from evil and the evil one. The ENTERPRISE of the evil one must be brought down to end it’s evil and wickedness everywhere – in high and low places.

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE” Job 5:12

And it’s not by human power, not by human might but by God’s Spirit in and through His Church in Christ Jesus stead. This is possible, simply because we are not wrestling against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in the the higher places; more so, the weapons of our warfare are not man made and crafted – meaning, it’s not limited by geographical location; and it’s efficiency is unparalleled and unmatchable to it’s effect in pulling down of the strongholds of the ENEMY and COHORTS; and in the bringing down of all things under subjection and subjugation, to the OBEDIENCE of God’s word in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This is as written:

“For though we walk in the flesh [as mortal men], we are not carrying on our [spiritual] warfare according to the flesh and using the weapons of man. 4 The weapons of our warfare are not physical [weapons of flesh and blood]. Our weapons are divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying sophisticated arguments and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 being ready to punish every act of disobedience, when your own obedience [as a church] is complete” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 AMPLIFIED.

Therefore, Church ARISE from all fear phobias, awake to your place of leadership and direction of travel, in advancing the kingdom cause of our God, thereby keeping the enemy and cohort at bay.

You are the Church – not the building. God is not calling us to a structural building but He is building His Church which is you.

 As we ARE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in God by Christ Jesus, we should be assured and emboldened to be on God’s KINGDOM CAUSE. For it’s high time for the church to arise and be on God’s kingdom cause in order to be kingdom relevant as Christ Jesus was in humanity.

“You men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man ACCREDITED and POINTED out and SHOWN forth and COMMENDED and ATTESTED to you by God by the MIGHTY WORKS and [the POWER of performing] wonders and signs which God worked through Him [right] in your midst, as you yourselves know” Acts 2:22 AMPLIFIED.

Jesus Christ in humanity, followed the Father God kingdom cause and purpose for Him intentionally and unreservedly; the Father God APPROVED and ACCREDITED Him though He was a Son – Hebrews 5:1-10. I therefore as you – Will you let God approve and accredit you as 2 Timothy 2:15 in order to be relevant to His kingdom cause and purpose?  Will you do what God requires you to do?   SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“He DISAPPOINTED the DEVICES of the CRAFTY, so that their HANDS cannot PERFORM their ENTERPRISE. 13 He taketh the WISE in their own CRAFTINESS: and the COUNSEL of the FROWARD is carried HEADLONG. 14 They meet with DARKNESS in the DAYTIME, and GROPE in the NOONDAY as in the NIGHT. 15 But he SAVETH the poor from the SWORD, from their MOUTH, and from the HAND of the MIGHTY. 16 So the POOR hath HOPE, and iniquity STOPPETH her mouth” Job 5:12-16.

“Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 7 Who art THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME a PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:6–7.

“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.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil” 1 John 3:8.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED from our ENEMIES, and from the hand of all that HATE us; 72 to PERFORM the mercy PROMISED to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the OATH which he SWARE to our father Abraham, 74 that he would GRANT unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the HAND of our ENEMIES might SERVE him without FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL the DAYS of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

“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.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand AGAINST the WILES of the devil. 12 For we WRESTLE not AGAINST flesh and blood, but AGAINST principalities, against powers, AGAINST the rulers of the darkness of this world, AGAINST spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to WITHSTAND in the EVIL day, and having DONE ALL, to STAND. 14 STAND therefore, having your LOINS girt about with TRUTH, and having on the BREASTPLATE of RIGHTEOUSNESS; 15 and your FEET shod with the PREPARATION of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the SHIELD of faith, wherewith ye shall be ABLE to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the wicked. 17 And take the HELMET of salvation, and the SWORD of the Spirit, which is the WORD of God: 18 PRAYING always with ALL prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and WATCHING thereunto with all PERSEVERANCE and SUPPLICATION for all saints” Ephesians 6:10-18.

“Behold, they shall SURELY gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together AGAINST thee shall FALL for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have created the smith that BLOWETH the COALS in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have CREATED the WASTER to DESTROY. 17 No WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall PROSPER; and every TONGUE that shall RISE against thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED not his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the CHARGE of God’s elect? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that DIED, yea rather, that is RISEN again, who is even at the RIGHT HAND of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us. 35 Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:31-39.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL: ARE YOU ABRAHAM SEED – BE FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM!

“And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:29.

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE”. This I have done for over 45yrs and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:9, 29 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written:

“So then THEY which be of FAITH are BLESSED with FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. . . 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:9.

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be Abraham seed and wants Abraham Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as Abraham, as we do sing “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who ARE of FAITH in Christ Jesus ARE of Abraham and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This becomes possible because Abraham was ascribed as being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience cum humility in believing God’s word above any thing else and being ASSURED of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be, in all about him doing life and living godly to fulfill God’s divine PURPOSE meaningfully.

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the GOSPEL as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the GOSPEL of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly, intentionally and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25 and Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in his BLESSEDNESS of him with God, in that he was FAITHFUL as ascribed as – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM.

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today:

  1. He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7).
  2. He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6.
  3. He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings – Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33).
  4. He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful – Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.
  5. He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21;
  6. He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy – Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25.
  7. He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenge, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity save him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30.
  8. He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he find himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10.
  9. He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. – Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19.
  10. He was FAITHFUL even at his lost of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILL for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13.
  11. He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12.
  12. He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfiling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22.

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortified and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing.

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he’s toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3.

“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.

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED STRENGTH TO CONCEIVE SEED, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she judged him FAITHFUL who had promised. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-19.

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how FAITH wrought with his works, and by works was FAITH made perfect? 23 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. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” James 2:20-24.

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the dead, and CALLETH those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against HOPE believed in HOPE, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:17-25.
