BE THE WORD DOER

BE THE WORD DOER: FOR ONLY THE WORD DOERS ARE “BLESSED” INDEED!

It’s not how ELOQUENT you can TALK that CHANGE your WORLDS but how much you can DO the WORD you talk about. The scriptures of James 1:22-25 indicates that only the DOERS of what they HEAR that are BLESSED, and not just BLESSED, but are BLESSED INDEED.

Jesus exemplifies this in life and ministry. He will DO then TEACH, or TEACH then DO. He knows the effectual power of doing to exemplify what He’s about to talk and the efficacy of doing what He has talked about. This act to DO and TEACH He CONTINUE to exercise in life and ministry, UNTILL the day He left mortality of humanity into immortality of the heavenly. Acts 1:1-3.

I challenge you to step into your worlds with the intent to be a DOER of the WORD of God in life and grace. BE A DOER Of The WORD – FOR THE WORD WORKS INDEED. Doing the WORD would create the atmosphere you wants to see and enjoy. Jesus did, He had it approved of God with signs and wonders following – Acts 2:22. You can, also if you give it a go. I am a living witness of the working WORD when you do it.

When the Apostles went about doing THE WORD, the Lord CONFIRM THE WORD with them. The Lord God do not confirm possession, title, status or person’s and such like but His WORD that they went about proclaiming. Mark 16:15-20.

And the ministering angels, who are to minister unto us as heirs of His salvation, will only act on our behalf by THE WORD and not beside THE WORD. They DO the WORD and only HARKEN to the VOICE of the WORD, meaning the proclamation of the WORD only; they are not out there to DO and HARKEN to the noise and noises around no matter who is making it and how much it’s made at no WORD. Psalms 103:20, Hebrews 1:7, 14.

And it’s upon this knowledge and understanding that only the DOING of the WORD that matters with God, hence the writer of the epistle of the Acts of the Apostles, Dr Luke, thereby made this admonishing to all in Acts 20:32, saying:

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED”

It’s only THE WORD that matters to Father God because THE WORD is Christ Jesus personified – 1 John 5:7; 1:1-5, 14. And personifying the WORD means God is obligated to show up for you and honour His WORD personified. That’s how important the word matters to Father God in every phase of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I wish you God’s grace in Christ Jesus stead, as you DO THE WORD to receive His indeed BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

BE A DOER OF THE WORD FOR THE WORD WORKS IN LIFE AND GRACE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus began both to DO and TEACH,  2 UNTIL THE DAY IN WHICH HE WAS TAKEN UP, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:  3 to whom also he SHEWED himself alive after his passion by many INFALLIBLE PROOFS, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God” Acts 1:1-3.

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

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

“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” John 1:1-5, 14.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO his commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE of his WORD” Psalms 103:20.

“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

“And he said unto them, GO YE into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they WENT FORTH, and PREACHED every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

“BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his DELIGHT is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he MEDITATE day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree PLANTED by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his LEAF also shall not wither; and WHATSOEVER HE DOETH SHALL PROSPER” Psalms 1:1-3.

ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION

By Leave a Comment

ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO HUMAN QUEST: IT  WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35

Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them and life to be in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through ignorance in circles and circus; and all learning, wondering and wandering are in SEARCHING for ANSWERS and FULFILLMENT in order to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS – which unfortunately it’s already a GIVEN in REDEMPTION, when one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of them and life instead of fighting for human LEGISLATION to define one – 2 Peter 1:3-4.

When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, as to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an answer where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you. Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).

Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.

Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.

It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.

I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.

Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.

I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

A SENSE OF TRUE WORSHIP AND SERVICE: THE FELLOWSHIP THAT WILL ENHANCE OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

“. . . 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

It’s time to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP.

“For we are the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Senses)” Philippians 3:3 (Emphasis Mine).

It’s a gracious and graceful spirit to WORSHIP God WORTHILY and to SERVE time ACCEPTABLY; however,  a true and genuine acts of WORSHIP and SERVING is the FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus stead, which ensures and enhance our RELATIONSHIP with the Father God in Him by the Holy Spirit; this is been manifested within and through our spirit being to the Father God, in the light of God’s Blessed WORD, and empowered by the indwelling working of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 1 John 4:19-24; Philippians 3:3.

By virtue of Salvation – being Born Again (born from above) – in REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, we have RELATIONSHIP with God. And this RELATIONSHIP gives us ACCESS by faith to and with God’s nature which sets us apart as a Holy person and people unto God; and to the RIGHTS – the righteousness of Christ – in order to stand before Him unashamed, undaunted, guiltless, unafraid and not inferior; and the resultant of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, is to having and keeping a healthy RELATIONSHIP with God; but to enhance and ensures that RELATIONSHIP, in order to THRIVE and be FULFILLED in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus, we need to FELLOWSHIP – the unhindered conscious reverence of God worthily and acceptably in WORSHIP and SERVICE.

One great acts of FELLOWSHIP is to intentionally and consciously render WORSHIP and SERVICE God in Christ Jesus stead. Worship and Service in this context – is the dedication of your triune being to God in an unhindered 24/7 channel of communication. Meaning it’s not necessarily only when you are in the acts of positioned and customised spot and such likes, but in total opening of your spirit being always and towards Father God in order to ease and have unhindered communication whenever. That’s the WORSHIP and SERVICE bore in human spirit by the Holy Spirit in the light of the WORD unto God the Father in Christ Jesus stead. Also, this act of WORSHIP and SERVICE in fellowship is NOT the mere religious thinking of the accustomed lifting hands and singing in praises ONLY while in a collective group gathering with a leading choir directing, wherein afterwards there’s no further room of communication until another customised statesquo.

The True, genuine and WORTHILY Worship and Service is you in fellowship with God with your spirit being through His WORD by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus stead, irrespective of where you are – with many or alone. It’s not about the noise or shouting but your spirit communing or in communion and in tune with the Holy Spirit unto the Father God in Christ Jesus stead by the WORD. Amen.

A SENSE of TRUE WORSHIP and SERVICE is sum as the act of welcoming, accessing and giving the heavenly permission in your earthly affairs without prejudice through your spirit being by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God. One can’t acclaim to WORSHIP and SERVE God and be a WORSHIPPER of God, beside His WORD and by Holy Spirit in the human spirit being.

I pray that you will take on the necessary measures for you to enhance your RELATIONSHIP with God through the act of FELLOWSHIP – it’s called WORSHIP AND SERVICE.

I pray you get UNDERSTANDING. Be BLESSED in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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

DARE TO SAY NO WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO SAY NO WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS: IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT REGRET OR BE APOLOGETIC – IN SAYING A NO!

THANKS BUT “NO” THANKS – Is that too hard to say or make sometimes? Yeah – in majority of times especially in sentimental cases when you are not PRINCIPLE in matters of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, you will struggle to say the “NO” needed to keep you safe and free from bondage and entanglement of any sorts and kinds. Many lives on regrets today for not rising up to the occasion to say a big honest “NO” and save their day and days ahead of time.

Thus, meaning, you can fall for anything and everything, for not having a set PRINCIPLE based on the WORD of God that keeps you RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE for self-worth in Christ Jesus stead from the test and tastes of this life that is there to lure one away to an unpleasant and unpalatable position.

James 1:2-8, makes it known and understandable – that to be tempted or tested or tried is not a sin, but to let sentiments and prejudice cause you to give in to that which you are being tempted or tested about, will make you to have sin and become a PREY and VICTIM of your circumstances instead of a VICTOR in wise decision. And unfortunately, that is of your own making, in not saying emphatically a “NO”, knowing that God does not tempt any man to sin – nonetheless to break His WORD for any sentiments and prejudice – James 1:13-15.

As a child of God, if you must be strong and fortified in life and faith and stay steadfast in Christ Jesus stead, you must know and understand when to say “NO” boldly and means it when your right of ensuring God’s WORD in your life has been violated and legislated by any person, irrespective of the person life stands and status. More and especially in commitments that makes you small or smaller or to derail from the truth, than what God has done in you in Christ Jesus; and also, matters that subtract you or from you, that divides you, decreases and limits you; and matters that will not add, multiply and increase you in life and godly living.

There are cohorts of Satan outworking in our place of doing life – Home, Church, Shopping Centres, Market Places, Work Places, Business and Governmental Places, Political Places and Contract Signing Places and such like, that you must put a guard against otherwise you be PARTAKER of their intent and VICTIM of regret for not saying the “NO” instead of the “YES” you gave by word or actioned in kind. An emboldened PRINCIPLE must be upheld in our day to day life in this world, otherwise you will live a life of fear, intimidation, guilt, shame, inferiority and regret in not saying “NO” to the divers lustful temptations that appears before you now and then – James 1:13-15; 4:1-3; Proverbs 4:23. There’s an enabling grace within you to say “NO” in the light of the scripture – Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

Being EMBOLDENED to say “NO” when it MATTERS, it’s an attributes of God’s grace in you. It saves you from troubles and all forms of regrets; and then heals, delivers, secures, directs, strengthens, equips, empowers; and does many more such like attributes of graciousness and gracefulness, in one’s act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s time not to fall traps of sentiments that the ENEMY and COHORTS in crafty act will use to lure you out of FAITH through FEARS into things you know that you will not normally say “YES” to which deserves a big fat “NO” answer at such moment of presentation.

DARE TO SAY NO WHEN IT’S TIMELY NECESSARY AND MATTERS – IT’S AN ATTRIBUTE OF GRACE – YOU NEED NOT REGRET – SAYING A NO TO ANY – NO MATTER THEIR STANDS AND STATUS IN LIFE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“But I say to you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35 nor by the earth, for it is His footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘YES’ BE ‘YES,’ AND YOUR ‘NO,’ ‘NO.’ For whatever is more than these is from the EVIL ONE” Matthew 5:34-37 (NKJV)

“But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “YES” BE “YES,” AND YOUR “NO,” “NO,” lest you fall into judgment” James 5:12 (NKJV).

“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).

“For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—WAS NOT YES AND NO, BUT IN HIM WAS YES. 20 FOR ALL THE PROMISES OF GOD IN HIM ARE YES, AND IN HIM AMEN, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee” 2 Corinthians 1:19-22 (NKJV).

“No temptation has OVERTAKEN you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, Who WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED BEYOND WHAT YOU ARE ABLE, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it” 1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV).

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE: TO BE EITHER AS A THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT!

To August your Worlds by the Word of Faith is about determining the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy in life day to day in Christ. It’s in you to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself with or be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow.

You can either govern your Worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH or be governed by the CIRCUMSTANCES and PHILOSOPHIES that are in the world around you.

The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme, dignity, grandeur, majestic, venerable, eminent, grand and lordly. Meaning to AUGUST is – to be dignified, to be reverend, to be admired, to be majestic, eminent, venerable, grand and more.

Jesus has lifted you from the bottom to the top. Brought us out of the merry clay into His banqueting table, and His banner over us is LOVE. It’s not enough to know it, you need to actualized it into reality. That’s where THE WORD OF FAITH comes into play. You can either live by assumptions and presumptions and self-made notions or by THE WORD OF FAITH.

I beg you to august your path as a THERMOSTAT, so that you can have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness. Give it a thoughts and be richly blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to august your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH. It’s in your hand to COLOUR your worlds of operations and life exploration COLOURFULLY; and thereby THRIVING and FLOURISHING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING, REJUVENATING and GLOWING, knowing that the JUSTIFIED in God by Christ Jesus shall LIVE by his FAITH – Romans 5:2-2; Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 11:1-3).

It’s in this regards of THE WORD OF FAITH, that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born and to fulfill in him as the Father of many nations – Romans 4:17-22; Genesis 12:1-5. It’s by THE WORD OF FAITH, acting as a THERMOSTAT not as a THERMOMETER, that he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will acclaimed also in the Holy Writ:  “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped) by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3 AMPLIFIED.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 8:8-13.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“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.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN GOD’S ENABLING POWER

AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN GOD’S ENABLING POWER: CHRIST JESUS IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD!

When person’s or rather people don’t know the genuine POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus stead, they give in to SORCERIES and BEWITCHING. And over the years many have found themselves into such bondages as the Scriptures says in Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13-15, that my people perish for lack of knowledge and had become prey and captives and have gone further into captivity for lack of knowledge. And I know exactly what it all means.

It’s for this lack of knowledge that a whole city of Samaria in Bible days was held in captivity and BEWITCHED with SORCERIES because a man called Simon and not Christ Jesus, was considered to be the great POWER of God. And multitude became victims and prey to this outrageous acts of SORCERIES and BEWITCHING by a man that held them as PREY and in CAPTIVITY for a very long, long time.

Take a look today and picture, how many have taken similar seating position in many supposed believer’s life by the accordance they give to these fallible men as to have the great POWER of God than to Christ Jesus in the fullness of the activities been carried out about them. And unfortunately, like Simon, these fallible men allowed these applaud of what they are not, to happen and keeping happening because they know that the people are BEWITCHED by their SORCERIES acts knowingly and unknowingly.

It’s for these acts and route of attributing the POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus to men, that cause God to let King Herod to be eaten up with worms when he allowed himself to be consumed by the applaud of men in Acts 12:20-24. That single act of God as happened also to Simon in Acts 8:18-24 with sharp and heavy handed rebuke, for wanting to buy the Holy Spirit with money in order to maintain his status, was needful then and more today, so that the genuine POWER and the WORD of God which is of Christ Jesus, could multiply in the hearts of men rather than the falsehood of these fallible men that’s BEWITCHING by SORCERIES, the creation of God as it was of Simon of Samaria. 

Therefore, think and ponder today, if you are one of those attributing the POWER of God which is of Christ Jesus to a man, thereby leading them to errors; also, if you are one of the men as Simon and king Herod, receiving the accordance of the POWER of God, which is of Christ Jesus as yours, in order to maintain and keep the status of your pride and arrogance, in bewitching the people with that act, practice and scheme that you are using which is unknown to your followers.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone 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.

“Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor THE POWER OF GOD” Matthew 22:29.

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“. . . 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the GREAT POWER of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself BELIEVED also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done . . .” Acts 8:1-24.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no POWER but of God: the POWERS that be are ORDAINED of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake . . .” Romans 13:1-10.

And his disciples heard it . . . 20 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 11:12-14, 20-24.
