Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!

“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” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine.

We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO God for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life.

Am here to let you know that it’s a high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy.

You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology of what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty.

“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine.

Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to –  save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity.

It’s a more gracious  graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help any where you can, without guilt and shame at any point.

May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is for to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD.

“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4

“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.

“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19].

My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detrimental. I am NOT saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].

“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine.

Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH.

Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.

BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD.

I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.

SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Emphasis Mine).

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!

In course of time, I have seen how some people just want to wake up in the Christian faith, stand in Christ Jesus, and wants everything to be just readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost and without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead. Some want to wake up on a Church gathering services day, get there expecting a perfect sitting set, music set, decorations set, message set, reception set, welcoming set and such like as may be applicable to make them have a beautiful atmosphere and environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there.

And as far as these set of Believer’s are concerned, they are to play no single act of BELONGING to the set Church they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, – all they care about is to see that the needed atmosphere and environment to ensure that everyone hands is involved to make good and done collectively with the hearts of BELONGING is set – such can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in becoming.

The Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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 1:12-14.

And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.

Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skilfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.

It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in every way of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.

“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.

And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.

“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.

I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.

“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.

“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 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 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“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.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“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” James 2:23.

“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.

“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 11:22-24.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

TWO DISTINCTIONS – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM

By Leave a Comment

TWO DISTINCTIONS – TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] IN HIM AND TO BELIEVE [BELIEVING] ON HIM: YOU CAN BECOME IN HIM AND ON HIM CONTEXT – IF YOU BELIEVE!

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

One great remarks of God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS that I have found, is that there’s a place of graciousnesss for everyone who seeks after God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it means, whether you are in pursuit of BELIEVING IN HIM or and BELIEVING ON HIM, you can BECOME in Him to each end. It’s just for you to know that you have to BELIEVE to RECEIVE in order to BECOME in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There is two mark Distinctions in respect to BELIEVE/BELIEVING in order to RECEIVE of God to BECOME what you believe and whom you believe. There’s the BELIEVING ON Him and the BELIEVING IN Him. You need to know that, to BELIEVE ON HIM and to BELIEVE IN Him, for the BLESSEDNESS of Him in this context, speaks of God’s graciousnesss that’s expressed and being expressed in Christ Jesus. In other words, BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] and BELIEVING IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME] toward the Father God, is not the same but are both important in our REDEMPTION REALITIES of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

[a] THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME]: For one to BELIEVE ON Christ Jesus [ON HIS NAME] toward God, is for one to BELIEVE on His WILL to SAVE one as SINNER from the clutches and bondages of sin and sinful living, in order to access and obtain the good and goodness of God, for one’s own SALVATION in HIM.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave he power to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE ON His name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13.

“He that BELIEVETH ON Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not BELIEVED IN the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:18.

“. . . 25 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE ON the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be SAVED, and thy house. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:30-34.

“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever BELIEVETH ON me should not abide in darkness” John 12:46.

“And this is his commandment, That we should BELIEVE ON the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment” 1 John 3:23.

[b] THE BELIEVE/BELIEVING IN CHRIST JESUS [IN HIS NAME]: For one to BELIEVE IN Christ Jesus [IN HIS NAME], thus means to believe in His ability – the ENABLING POWER in the SERVICE of the Kingdom to advance and to keep the enemy at bay; this is about and toward a BELIEVER receiving the POWER of God for God’s Kingdom services – a sphere, wherein the Believing one, is depending and looking up [enacting and authenticating] for the help of God, in order to receive what it takes to fulfil God’s plan, purpose and pursuit, in life and godliness.

“Now when He was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many BELIEVED IN His name, when they saw the miracles which He did” John 2:23.

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which BELIEVE IN me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea” Matthew 18:6 [Mark 9:42].

“Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that BELIEVETH IN me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: 26 and whosoever liveth and BELIEVETH IN me shall never die. BELIEVEST thou this? 27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I BELIEVE that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Mark 11:24-26.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye BELIEVE IN God, BELIEVE ALSO IN me. . . . 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake” John 14:1, 9-11.

“This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have BELIEVED IN God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men” Titus 3:8.

Which ever distinction you fall into, either as a sinner needing salvation and a backslider needing restoration or a Believer needing the help of God to live and accomplish His purpose in your life, BELIEVING is the access to RECEIVE in order to BECOME. Hence, you don’t give up or go wearisome or give in to the fear of acceptance in starting or completing your life given and intended plans, purposes and pursuits, for just to BELIEVE, you can seal the once for all eternity your BECOMING in GOD, in Christ JESUS. Amen.

I want you to know full well, that your FAITH can go killing giants even when all things come to a halt, as you keep acting on the WORD to RECEIVE, by the BELIEVE/BELIEVING to BECOME. Meaning, nothing can stop you from BECOMING when you keep your BELIEVING-FAITH alive in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Jesus said, “. . . According to your FAITH be it unto you” Matthew 9:29, that is to – BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Hello Friend! you can BECOME what you BELIEVE in context – ON Him or IN Him today.

May you BECOME in your BELIEVE as you RECEIVE of God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

“Jesus said to him, “[You say to Me,] ‘If You can?’ ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE for the one who BELIEVES and trusts [in Me]!” Mark 9:23/AMP.

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He GAVE the right [the authority, the privilege] to BECOME children of God, that is, to those who BELIEVE in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified]” John 1:12-13/AMP.

“But to as many as did RECEIVE and WELCOME Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name— 13 Who owe their birth neither to bloods nor to the will of the flesh [that of physical impulse] nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God. [They are born of God!]” John 1:12-13/AMP Classic Edition.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“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” James 2:23.

“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.

“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 11:22-24.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE

BECOMING WHOM AND WHAT YOU BELIEVE: YOU NEED TO BELIEVE TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them gave He POWER [RIGHTS, ENABLING, ABILITY] TO BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:12/Emphasis Mine.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING]: 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 [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART [HUMAN SPIRIT-BEING] man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

FAITH is Acting correspondingly on WHAT you BELIEVE on The WORD of GOD. As such, BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is passive while FAITH is active. You need to BELIEVE first for FAITH to be ACTIVATED. And FAITH is the currency of exchange and transactions in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus – our Saviour and Lord. Amen. That’s why your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world is very important to make your FAITH effective and efficient through acknowledging everything God has done in you in redemption in Christ Jesus.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL [EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT – PRODUCTIVE, RESULTS-ORIENTED] by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING which is IN you IN [BY REDEMPTION] Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

You need to know full well that – it’s WHAT you then BELIEVE that determines your functionality in the Kingdom, and in your ability to OVERCOME the challenges of your worlds of doing life and living godly. It thus means, you ARE a PRODUCT of your BELIEVE and BELIEVING world. And if I may ask you today and right now – What do you BELIEVE (ADHERED TO, ACKNOWLEDGED) more? Do you BELIEVE in a mere – men, religion, religiosity and religious acts of ordinance – dogmas, creeds, bylaws, traditions, philosophy and rudiments and tradition of this world more than to God’s scriptural and eternal WORD? Would you rather BELIEVE in God’s authoritative, prevailing, undiluted and unadulterated WORD than to a mere men in this world? You need to know that – YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE AND HAVE BEEN BY YOUR BELIEVE UNTIL NOW. you BECOME save because you BELIEVE. And you RECEIVE ANSWERS to PRAYERS as a results of your BELIEVE. BELIEVE and be SAVE.

“Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them” Mark 11:24/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:25-34.

Henceforth, you need not to go about blaming anyone of your state of being, but to rather now take resolved to see that it’s your responsibility and accountability on what you BECOME in the FAITH; for your state of being, it’s on what you’ve BELIEVED and yet BELIEVE until now. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage in Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again in order to BECOME your reality in God’s WORD that saves – otherwise you will be living in the sphere of fake, falsehoods, adulteration and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime.

FOR WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT IN FAITH BY ACTING IN FATE

Jesus said in Matthew 9:27-30 to two men seeking His help, what do you BELIEVE? By their answer, He replied, they should BECOME What they BELIEVE. What they BELIEVE is found in WHOM they BELIEVE. And that triggered and activated their FAITH, as they saw an opportunity to act upon that believed they had nursed. They RECEIVED their healings as they ACT on their BELIEVE. They BECOME not only on WHAT they BELIEVED of God to receive but on also on WHOM they BELIEVE to resolve their circumstances.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then TOUCHED he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

It is the scriptural FAITH born out of your BELIEVE to BECOME, it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE and RECEIVE the heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before you take any step you consider to be of  FAITH in the Kingdom, that’s if you wants the heavens to be with you in your EARTHLY affairs.

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him”   Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

I plead you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING – for all things are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE – as all things are POSSIBLE always with god in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS

By Leave a Comment

IN YOUR REDEMPTION DEED OF RIGHTS: ENSURE YOU POSSESS YOUR POSSESSION IN CHRIST JESUS!

Beloved of God, it’s imperative, that in your in your redemption deed of rights, that you ensure you possess your possession as you do life and live in godliness in Christ Jesus stead. And this is made possible by your faith communication to matters of life – earthly or heavenly – in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (COMMUNICATION) of our FAITH without WAVERING; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23 Emphasis Mine.

Beloved in Christ, enough of complain-hallelujah life style over these years, it’s your time in Christ Jesus to enact, ensure and actualise the essence of being born of God.

There’s a DEED OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION with your name ENGRAVED in it by the virtue of being born of God in Christ Jesus, but it’s your prerogative to ask, seek and knock after it, to make it a reality for you.

You need to know also that your REDEMPTION reality can only be made possible:

** FIRSTLY, through the ACKNOWLEDGING of your BILL OF RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN THE KINGDOM as a result of our Christ Jesus – DONE DEED – for you and all in Him;

** And SECONDLY by your UNDERSTANDING of the KNOW-HOW of COMMUNICATING your KNOWN FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS in ALL about living life even as it’s written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 6 (Emphasis mine).

And until you can ENSURE, ENACT and ACTUALISE the essence of REDEMPTION of Christ in and for you, the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ to life matters will always be a struggle, strange, tasking and a burdensome in many ways which is contrary to 1 John 5:3. It’s for these limitations that there are many ‘AMEN’, ‘HALLELUJAH’ and ‘BLESS ME’ Christians around despite their long standing efforts in the Churches of Christ, unending fasting and prayers and various traditional dogmas, creeds, religious steps they might have taken to make the essence of REDEMPTION in EVERY AREAS of doing life. And this OUGHT not to be so in Christ and for all Christ is to us in Him by REDEMPTION.

You can only APPROPRIATE and ENACT through a PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of your REDEMPTION in Christ of all that God has DONE IN YOU, DONE FOR YOU, DONE WITH YOU and is DOING THROUGH YOU by His WORD through the promised given HOLY SPIRIT, supposedly.

Here are few REASONS to seek for KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of all that God DONE DEED for you in Christ Jesus, in order to APPROPRIATE your REDEMPTION into reality as a POSSESSION:

** That a man’s ignorance is His own mountain, but the knowledge of the truth gives freedom and dominion – John 8:32.

** That knowledge will deliver from life and scriptural errors, and helps one engage with God’s power to save, deliver and restore – Matthew 22:29.

** That your dominion in life is a product of your knowledge – Daniel 11:32.

** That a man’s value for knowledge determines his ultimate worth – Isaiah 33:6.

** That knowledge is power, freedom and dominion, while religion is imprisonment and bondage – Luke 11:52.

** That the grace that determines our status is a function of knowledge – 2 Peter 1:2.

** That when you run after knowledge, goodness and mercy runs after you – Proverbs 1:22, 29-33.

** That People who hate knowledge can’t secure heaven’s Favour – Proverbs 13:15; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

** That age is not equal to knowledge, and should not be taken for knowledge – Job. 32:7-9.

** That if your thoughts are not updated, your life will be outdated – Proverbs 24:5.

** That when you add a little MORE knowledge to your life daily, you live a little better – Proverbs 4:18.

** That whatever you have no value for you have no access to – Mark. 6:5-6.

** That studying for knowledge is not a transferable responsibility – 2 Timothy 2:15.

** That the only authentic proof of knowledge is freedom and liberty – John 8:32.

** That when you don’t grow in the spirit of knowledge, you end up groaning in life – 2 Peter 3:18.

** That those who seek to know men, don’t know God; when you seek to know God, people will seek to know you – Jeremiah 17:5-8; Matthew 6:24.

** That your knowledge of Jesus makes you absolutely sure of tomorrow – John 17:3; Isaiah 33:6.

** And you can’t POSSESS a lasting POSSESSION with unsecured knowledge – Proverbs 25:2; Job 23:12; Matthew 22:29.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH may become EFFECTUAL (productive, result oriented, effective) by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6 (Emphasis mine).

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

“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” Acts 20:32.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION: BY ENGAGING ONLY ON THE “GOOD FIGHT” OF FAITH!

“FIGHT the good FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

Your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead is WORTH ALL THE FIGHT if you must ensure your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION. When I talk of the GOOD FAITH OF FAITH, I am not talking of the demonic and satanic consciousness that most people tend to be acquainted with. Am here talking of you taking your STAND to ensure who you ARE in Christ Jesus by the virtue of being born of God – knowing that Christ Jesus is our REDEEMER and REDEMPTION indeed, and have given us access, rights and privileges to reign and rule in DOMINION – the sphere wherein the enemy and cohorts have no authority over you any more. Hence Proverbs 24:10 says:

“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

Sometimes in the course of doing life and living godly – ADVERSITIES – do happen. How we go about in dealing with any of such adversities defines lots in our moving forward – onward and upward trajectory or moving backward or at stand still. When in course of life time you –  lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you, or sickness and diseases afflicts you and your financial position gets worst and uncertain; your career or educational pursuits comes to a hurt and many more setback comes to play in your life – WHAT DO YOU DO?

WHAT YOU DO MATTERS – THEN IS THE “FIGHT OF FAITH” – TO REIGN IN DOMINION IN REDEMPTION.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW – THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” – THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE.

The enemy and cohorts knows, if they can SUCCEED in getting you OFF your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus – and they will not only ruin you, if you give them permission by not ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION, they will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use, to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; for the ENEMY and COHORTS knows, that when you SUCCEED in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries too.

The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).

“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25.

The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too, they were eventually and completely crushed and lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written:

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

And I know for sure and assured certainty, the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let him be – give them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially – which simply put, by not ENSURING YOUR DOMINION IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ by ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION rights and privileges, for your FAITH worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide simply for a momentary lack – because I know you can and will come back better and best of times in life and godliness than you were before if you deal life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously and gracefully when your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you by ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION. That’s all you need now, today and always.

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE – IN ORDER NOT TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! By ensuring your DOMINION IN REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus.

Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. I pray for you that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in every way in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightiest war a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made SHIPWRECK: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have FINISHED my COURSE, I have KEPT the FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

“The THIEF COMETH not, but for to STEAL, and to KILL, and to DESTROY: I AM COME that they might have LIFE, and that they might have it more ABUNDANTLY” John 10:10.

“. . . 25 For I know that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth. . .” Job 19:1-29.

“. . .  And the Lord TURNED the captivity of Job, when he PRAYED for his friends: also the Lord gave Job TWICE as much as he had before.  11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.  12 So the Lord BLESSED THE LATTER END of Job MORE THAN HIS BEGINNING . . . 16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.  17 So Job died, BEING OLD AND FULL OF DAYS” Job 42:10-17.

“Therefore I say unto you, WHAT THINGS SOEVER ye DESIRE, when ye PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE [BECOME] them” Mark 11:24/Emphasis Mine.

“. . . 27 And THE KEEPER OF THE PRISON awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 and brought them out, and said, Sirs, WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 31 And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED, and THY HOUSE. 32 And they spake unto him THE WORD of the Lord, and to all that were in his house . . .” Acts 16:25-34.

Henceforth, you need not to go about blaming anyone of your state of being, but to rather now take resolved to see that it’s your responsibility and accountability on what you BECOME in the FAITH; for your state of being, it’s on what you’ve BELIEVED and yet BELIEVE until now. I hereby appeal to you, to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory and leverage in Christ Jesus. DARE to BELIEVE now and again in order to BECOME your reality in God’s WORD that saves – otherwise you will be living in the sphere of fake, falsehoods, adulteration and counterfeiting – which leads to further bondages overtime.

FOR WHEN YOU WRONGLY BELIEVE YOU WILL WRONGLY ACT IN FAITH BY ACTING IN FATE

Jesus said in Matthew 9:27-30 to two men seeking His help, what do you BELIEVE? By their answer, He replied, they should BECOME What they BELIEVE. What they BELIEVE is found in WHOM they BELIEVE. And that triggered and activated their FAITH, as they saw an opportunity to act upon that believed they had nursed. They RECEIVED their healings as they ACT on their BELIEVE. They BECOME not only on WHAT they BELIEVED of God to receive but on also on WHOM they BELIEVE to resolve their circumstances.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then TOUCHED he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE (BECOME) IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30/Emphasis Mine.

It is the scriptural FAITH born out of your BELIEVE to BECOME, it’s the only legal and vital tender to PLEASE, SECURE and RECEIVE the heavenly OUTPOURING of grace and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s expedient you check your BELIEVING scripturally before you take any step you consider to be of  FAITH in the Kingdom, that’s if you wants the heavens to be with you in your EARTHLY affairs.

“Now FAITH is the assurance (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the evidence of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] faith the men of old gained [divine] approval. 3 By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were framed and created [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him”   Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.

I plead you to dare to BELIEVE and be BELIEVING – for all things are POSSIBLE to them that BELIEVE – as all things are POSSIBLE always with god in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – “BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING”: HAVE FAITH IN GOD – FOR IN HIM PEACE REIGN AND RULE!

“BE CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by PRAYER and SUPPLICATION with THANKSGIVING let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And THE PEACE OF GOD, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall keep your HEARTS and MINDS through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING; tell God your needs, and don’t forget TO THANK HIM FOR HIS ANSWERS. 7 If you do this, you will EXPERIENCE GOD’S PEACE, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. HIS PEACE will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Living Bible (TLB).

“Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by PRAYER and PETITION with THANKSGIVING, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God. 7 And THE PEACE of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which TRANSCENDS all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]” Philippians 4:6-7 (Amplified).

“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 11:22-24.

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“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 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“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.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the placOUmen ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 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.

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“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, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

NO REASON TO FEAR OR PANIC

NO REASON TO FEAR OR PANIC: FOR IN CHRIST JESUS – YOU LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE YOUR BEING!

“For IN HIM WE LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.

LIVING – is Living IN CHRIST; Living IN Christ – is living IN the WORD; And living IN the WORD – Is living IN the FAITH; And living IN the FAITH – Is living BY FAITH; And living BY FAITH is living IN VICTORY; And living IN VICTORY – Makes you OVERCOMES the WORLD or become a WORLD OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead – that includes the CHALLENGES of our times – WARS, PANDEMIC, ECONOMIC DECADENCE and it’s EFFECTS.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

Therefore, FEAR NOT and HAVE FAITH IN GOD; for your life and well being is hid in Christ Jesus and Christ Jesus in God. So head up, shoulders high and put on the high heels of FAITH without fear, over the mountains and hills to make them level, and the Valleys to be exalted, and the crooked roads to become straight and rough places to become smooth, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore, since [these His] children share in flesh and blood [the physical nature of mankind], He Himself in a similar manner also shared in the same [physical nature, but without sin], so that through [experiencing] death He might make powerless (ineffective, impotent) him who had the POWER of death—that is, the devil— 15 and [that He] might free all those who through [the haunting] FEAR of death were held in slavery throughout their lives” Hebrews 2:14-15 Amplified.
