AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE

AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE: ENDEAVOUR TO PRACTICE IT DAILY – YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE before day, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did ask the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles. And can you today say yes to same question as it’s written:

“. . . 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” . . .” Matthew 26:36-56.

The above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and still now Christian FAITH set motto, that have served as my PRAYER guildrails, daily reminder and guidance through the years – it’s been a default of disciplinary measures in helping and keeping me to be alert and awake in enjoying God’s PRESENCE daily – and the statement motto reads:

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK”

My dear fellow Believer’s in the grace, it’s important you know for sure the implications of the statement – SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS THAT MAKES ONE WEAK – and one act to note about the statement is this: our fellowship with Father God through the act of prayers to enhance our relationship with Him, will be weakened in the faith.  That’s why, any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in Father God’s presence a whole day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly. When one of Jesus Disciples [Apostle Peter to be precised], couldn’t WATCH and PRAY for an hour with the Lord, he was prone to fall into trouble, because the FLESH rules kick-in and he made a wrong judgment of the spiritual attitude to a challenging incidence. He did the unexpected thing – by cutting off one called Malchus ears with the sword with a slight provocation [Matthew 26:51-53; John 18:10]. If he did watch for an hour with Jesus Christ in Father God presence, he would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. And many are guilty as such in many various ways today.

The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that? and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided instead of standing up and contending for their FAITH toward God, in Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Jude 1:3-4].

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: An hour in God’s PRESENCE – make it an ESSENCE for your well being in life and godliness. For It’s your path of life for your fullness of joy and pleasure for ever more. [Psalms 16:11].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11.

“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.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world” 1 Peter 5:8-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus” John 18:10.

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and PRAY over there.” 37 And He TOOK with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them ASLEEP again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . .  51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56/NKJV.

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference!

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42 NKJV.

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures –  NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. That’s how to enjoy being blessed and seated in the heavenly places at the right hand of Father God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY;at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11.

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

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

It’s time to STOP RUNNING after men to secure God’s PRESENCE; and you must know that, no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any man of any worth or status, become your in-between, for there’s no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ – by which, our SALVATION from God is to come to realisation and actualisation. He’s out only mediator, advocate and justifier with God.

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be SAVED” Acts 4:12.

“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5.

“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.

Moses knew best, hence, he refuses anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and it’s needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. [Exodus 33].

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. How much more could we need God now then ever. [Acts 10:38; Mark 1:35].

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD in His Kingdom causes. [Matthew 28:19-20].

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE:

“. . . Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33 NKJV.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM” Acts 10:38.

“And he goeth up into a mountain, and CALLETH unto him WHOM he would: and they came unto him. 14 And he ORDAINED twelve, THAT THEY SHOULD BE WITH HIM, and that he might send them forth to preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils” Mark 3:13-15.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“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.

THE BLESSING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH rich, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” (Proverbs 10:22).

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quests of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason..

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions  – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28].

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead.

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an ADVICE to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an ORDER, a COMMAND, a MANDATE and an ASSIGNMENT to be willingly obeyed if you and I must eat the good of the land as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen [Isaiah 1:19]. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not given to be a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquility irrespective and without prejudice.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3.

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, because you ARE His and the epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written:

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS is at work upon your life in all wisdom in graciousnesss and gracefulness. And you are not undermined by any means by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, as an EPISTLE of  God to humanity, you ARE ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation by FAITH and not limited in this endowed GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s:

** A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16]

** God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:20].

** A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 8:37].

** An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11].

** VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57].

** TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14].

** REDEEMED in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12]

** A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus stead [1 Peter 2:9-10].

** . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s your moment and time now, to take a gracious STAND, by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus; and to take a stand against anything or forces as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH; and against satanic cohorts interfering on you to intentionally and pragmatically take a stand in the grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, as a demand of the kingdom.

“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.

For we live in the perilous times and days wherein the enemy and cohorts are out there as PERVERTERS of the Gospel – and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the leadership power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers. It’s time not to be complaining and arguing and lazing around sluggishly and slothfully with the enemy and cohorts, but to stand tall and be vigilant, to resist, and to earnestly contend in the faith by the grace in Christ Jesus, against all the onslaughts that’s outplaying to stop us from the kingdom mandate and demand to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of ALL GRACE, who hath CALLED us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also AGAINST any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 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 5:17-21.

“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.

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

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“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.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I AM SET FOR THE DEFENCE OF THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20.

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded, and the maimed, where those who are a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comforted others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory.

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling and garage station for the fueling and refuelling, the repairs and repairing of the car, wherein you don’t run the car there but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guildrails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is otherwise called the Body of Christ which you are a member in particular there to function and not as a structure.

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such is loved, glorious, holy, without blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33].

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let ALL THINGS be done DECENTLY [APPROPRIATELY] and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:40/Emphasis Mine.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10.

“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.

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine.

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in PARTICULAR so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

BE TRANSFORMED – GRAB A COPY: THE BOOK – THE REALM OF REVELATION – Living Beyond Doctrines And Man-Made Make Believe, Traditional Dogmas And Philosophical Rudiments!

There are too much INFORMATION and less TRANSFORMATION, and this is a result of the lack of REVELATION – Insights and foresights. For the HOLY WRIT was not meant to be for just a mere INFORMATION but for the TRANSFORMATION unto PERFECTION –  MATURITY, WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS and FULFILMENT – in Christ Jesus stead – 2 Timothy 3:14-17. The lack of REVELATION keeps people out of illumination – insights and foresights – of God’s enabling.

The Book – THE REALM OF REVELATION – answers the quests. Do yourself a favour and get a copy. Selah!

It’s your time for the REVELATION SENSE – the SIXTH SENSE, the sense beyond the COMMON SENSE of the FIVE SENSES: The SENSES of – Seeing, Hearing, Touching/Feeling, Tasting and Smelling.

You need to DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY by REVELATION SENSE in order to ENACT and APPROPRIATE in essence the FULNESS of the BLESSEDNESS in the HEAVENLY PLACES made available for us in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 9 But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of man, THE THINGS which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH ALL THINGS, yea, the DEEP THINGS of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 2 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 16 And Simon Peter ANSWERED and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus ANSWERED and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for FLESH and BLOOD hath not REVEALED it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

“But I certify you, brethren, that the GOSPEL which was PREACHED OF ME IS NOT AFTER MAN. 12 FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAn, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION of Jesus Christ . . .15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, 16 to REVEAL his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood . . .” Galatians 1:11-24.

“Therefore LEAVING the PRINCIPLES of the DOCTRINE of Christ, LET US GO ON UNTO PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, FULNESS and MATURITY); not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit” Hebrews 6:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

“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 (MATURITY, WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS and FULFILMENT), THROUGHLY FURNISHED UNTO ALL GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:14-17 (Emphasis Mine)

“Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2 Why do thy disciples TRANSGRESS the TRADITION of the elders? . . . 5 But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; 6 and honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye MADE the COMMANDMENT of God of NONE EFFECT by your TRADITION” Matthew 15:1-2, 5-6 (Emphasis Mine).

OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: AND I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND!

“. . . 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land . . .” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

Our God, is the God of the heavens and the earth and beneath the earth; and He’s the God that rules and reigns in the domain of mankind; and He’s in the full business of ensuring and assuring wholeness for His people and to as many as are willing and determined in obedience without prejudice to turn toward Him – by FAITH in Christ Jesus and through His WORD by the Holy Spirit  who is at work to ENSURE and ASSURE that the whole default of God for the New Creation in Christ Jesus are in – wholeness, completeness, fulness, and perfectness irrespective. This is why to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” concept it’s eminent in our unstable world at all level’s today.

For God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS, and will only EMPOWERS only on His given PURPOSE/CAUSE and will only ENSURE what He ASSURED to either an individual or a people toward a nation; and to bring about the healing and prosperity so much desired at any given generation or dispensation to ensure peace and tranquillity without prejudice. And the best positioning to ENSURE and ASSURE that God’s intent is at work it’s when His chosen people take the faith stand in grace concept to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME” – and make a literal obedience as He has instructed in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

For God’s commands, assignments, orders, instructions and such like, are not an advice but a default demand in love to enable Him have the leverage to act on our behalf – in all matters that pertains to life (doing life) and godliness (living godly), in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, concerning us.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we keep his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS [IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, TASKMASTER, OVERBEARING]” 1 John 5:3.

“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 [DOING LIFE] and GODLINESS [LIVING GODLY], 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.

Think of Jonah for an example, who was given an instruction and assignment of a specific command to carry out in order to save and bring about the healing and health of the nation of Nineveh. He took God’s instructions and order for granted as if it’s an advice, and nearly paid for it with his own life. How opportune he was for a second chance, because not all can have such levels of mercies that he received from God to then obey the given instructions again – this is after he took to the sea hide outs that vomited him to the shore probably thinking he can outsmart God, or God is only of the heavens and the earth and not of the beneath the earth – as many are repeating today.

“Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 ARISE, GO to Nineveh, that great city, and CRY against it; for their WICKEDNESS is come up before me. 3 But Jonah ROSE UP TO FLEE unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish FROM THE PRESENCE of the Lord” Jonah 1:1-3.

The scriptural context of 2 Chronicles 7:12-15, thus indicates God’s  good intent to heal the land/nation of His people; His instructions in the scriptural context, is in order to make His people a vehicle in the change to make whole and to prosper their land/nation accordingly; and God was plain to layout there the default clauses to follow which invariably lies in the hands of His chosen people, the Church of God to literally do – to act upon. For God’s people are chosen people, designed with the default to bring about the reality and tangibility that the world craves to have pending the second coming of Christ Jesus, the Saviour and Lord. 1 Peter 2:9-10; Deuteronomy 7:6. It’s by this willingness of the Chosen People to take their position to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate and assignment, that will bring about the genuine peace and healing of our nation’s and our land for prosperity.

“But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW FORTH THE PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were NOT A PEOPLE, but are now THE PEOPLE of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth . . .” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born again Believer’s that are Spirit-filled and are govern exclusively by the WORD of God, under the leadership of a Shepherd who is under God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And each time God wants to make a major change and shift on earth, He works along with His people – who are the chosen generation, the peculiar people, the royal priesthood. And it’s up to His chosen people to let God’s instructions be for victory and triumph, or to keep playing around with God’s mandate as Jonah of Nineveh did, by taking God’s instructions for an advice to be obeyed or thrown into the trash. Such obscured decision to undermine God’s decision can only obstruct their own happiness and prosperity and the healing of the the land and nation that are there as their dwelling places. Psalms 33:12 tells how much God is relying on the people for their own healing.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and THE PEOPLE whom he hath CHOSEN for his own INHERITANCE” Psalms 33:12.

God’s intervention to any nation wholeness lies upon the Church readiness and willingness as God’s chosen people to be obedient and to act along the scriptural context that addresses of the nation ills as it affects them accordingly. For salvation and healing will always first begin within God’s chosen people to avoid them suffering while others are enjoying the fulness of God.

So, how ready are you today, even now to take the challenge to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, instead of thinking it’s someone else responsibility and accountability and not yours. It’s time to be  principled and intentional to take your place of stand with God SCRIPTURALLY and not giving excuses and making it someone else’s – for you are God’s OWN, God CHOSEN to show forth His PRAISES of goodness through you for the good of others until Christ Jesus returns while you have your time to do your part in the wholeness of individual, local and national ills

It’s my utmost PRAYERS for you to find your place and fulfil PURPOSE by the empowering and endorsement of God upon your life as His chosen one and not as the runner – Jonah of Nineveh.

“For thou art an HOLY PEOPLE unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath CHOSEN thee to be a SPECIAL PEOPLE unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 but because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; 10 and repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face” Deuteronomy 7:6-10.

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be GLORY and DOMINION for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6.

“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.

“And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have CHOSEN this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. 13 If I SHUT UP heaven that there be NO RAIN, or if I COMMAND the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among MY PEOPLE; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are CALLED by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN FROM their wicked ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the PRAYER that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:12-15.

“But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our INFIRMITIES: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God” Romans 8:11, 26-27

“And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things SOEVER ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:20-24.

BEAUTIFY And COLOUR Your WORLDS – Even In PERSECUTION: It’s The MARK of GRACE, GODLINESS And GODLY LIVING!

“Yea, and ALL that will LIVE GODLY in Christ Jesus shall suffer PERSECUTION” 2 Timothy 3:12.

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him GLORIFY God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

For some, the subject of – PERSECUTION, REJECTION, DESPITE, TRIALS – of their FAITH and the SUFFERING for – their FAITH, in Christ Jesus should not be MARRIED together with good deeds that are promised in the GOSPEL; and I have grown to know that the known beautiful and lovely ROSE FLOWERS gives such gracious fragrance, aroma and lovely scent and more, are not without THORNS from where they are plucked to offer as love gesture. It’s because I have bought lots for my dear and lovely sweet wife over time to know it well too.

In same scenario, the Christian FAITH journey is MARKED with PERSECUTION, DESPITE, REJECTION and such like, even in the midst of the GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS and LOVINGKINDNESS and GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE. So in the midst of God’s BEAUTY and COLOUR, there can be challenging time, PERSECUTION and the SUFFERING for your good FAITH by those who have mistaken, misconstrued and misunderstood you for your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

The Scriptures thus indicates that all who might choose GODLY LIVING in this world ahead of the world to come, MUST suffer PERSECUTION – that is, to be persecuted, despite, rejected and such like. [2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified]. Meaning, you don’t have to avoid or abandon your glorious and precious FAITH of beauty and colour in Christ Jesus, just because of the PERSECUTION, which many unfortunately have ignored to hold unto and have walked away to avoid been PERSECUTED as such.

The first early DISCIPLES – FOLLOWERS – of Christ Jesus once questioned our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ in this context of their FAITH, in order to ascertain and to know if there is/are any gain in following Christ Jesus stead towards God; Christ Jesus hesitated not to inform them of the GOOD, GOODNESS and REWARD of following the cause and course of the Gospel. And He equally informed them of one major truth – that PERSECUTION is part of the marked set in the following of Him in God to fulfil PURPOSE. [Mark 10:28-30; Matthew 5:10-12; Romans 8:28-30].

Apostle Paul, the endowed writer of more than half of the New Testament epistles, did charged, admonished and exhorted in many of His writings, especially the writ in Romans 8:35-39, of the essence of PERSECUTION; and how that should not deter one essence, to get glued to the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead. He reckoned that the suffering or challenges that are as a result of PERSECUTION can’t be COMPARED to the GLORY to be REVEALED in us all who draw not back – that is, back away from our continual FAITH in following the cause of God in Christ Jesus.

“For I reckon that the SUFFERINGS of this PRESENT TIME are not WORTHY to be COMPARED with the GLORY which shall be REVEALED in us” Romans 8:18.

I urge you TODAY and NOW, to keep holding on steadfastly in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead no matter what does appear to challenge your FAITH and all you seem to be going through at present, in LIFE and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. I will be cautioned in the light of Apostle Peter epistle, that when you do suffer in PERSECUTION as if you an evil DOER when you are not, do REJOICE in Christ Jesus for such is of the Kingdom of God. Meaning, let it not be that your suffering acclaimed as PERSECUTION is not what you’ve CREATED out and or caused of your self doing as an EVIL DOER – for that WORTH no benefit at all in Christ Jesus stead. [1 Peter 4:15-16; 1 Peter 3:13-18; 1 Peter 2:19-23].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But let NONE OF YOU SUFFER as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man SUFFER as a Christian, let him NOT BE ASHAMED; but let him glorify God on this behalf” 1 Peter 4:15-16.

“And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? 14 But and if ye SUFFER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE, HAPPY ARE YE: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that FALSELY ACCUSE YOUR GOOD CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) in Christ. 17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, THAT YE SUFFER FOR WELL DOING, THAN FOR EVIL DOING. 18 For Christ also hath once SUFFERED for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” 1 Peter 3:13-18/Emphasis Mine.

“For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, SUFFERING WRONGFULLY. 20 For what glory is it, if, when ye be buffeted for your faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. 21 FOR EVEN HEREUNTO WERE YE CALLED: because Christ also SUFFERED for us, LEAVING US AN EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW HIS STEPS: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; WHEN HE SUFFERED, HE THREATENED NOT; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH RIGHTEOUSLY” 1 Peter 2:19-23.

“Now you have diligently followed [my example, that is] my teaching, conduct, purpose, faith, patience, love, steadfastness, 11 PERSECUTIONS, and SUFFERINGS—such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, but the Lord rescued me from them all! 12 Indeed, all who delight in pursuing righteousness and are DETERMINED TO LIVE GODLY LIVES in Christ Jesus will be HUNTED AND PERSECUTED [because of their faith]” 2 Timothy 3:10-12/Amplified.

“Peter started saying to Him, “Look, we have given up everything and followed You [becoming Your disciples and accepting You as Teacher and Lord].” 29 Jesus said, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there is no one who has given up a house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 who will not receive a hundred times as much now in the present age—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms—along with PERSECUTIONS; and in the age to come, eternal life” Mark 10:28-30/Amplified.

“Blessed are they which are PERSECUTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS’ SAKE: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall REVILE you, and PERSECUTE you, and shall say all manner of EVIL AGAINST YOU FALSELY, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” Matthew 5:10-12.

“Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: 9 WHEREIN I SUFFER TROUBLE, AS AN EVIL DOER, EVEN UNTO BONDS; BUT THE WORD OF GOD IS NOT BOUND. 10 Therefore I ENDURE all things for the elect’s sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory” 2 Timothy 2:8-10.

“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 8:35-39.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our FAITH WITHOUT WAVERING; (for he is faithful that promised;) . . . 35 CAST NOT AWAY THEREFORE YOUR CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 BUT WE ARE NOT OF THEM WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.

“Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand. 12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; ONLY LEST THEY SHOULD SUFFER PERSECUTION FOR THE CROSS OF CHRIST. 13 For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh. 14 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 6:11-16.
