GEARED UP AND EXERCISE THE DARING FORCE OF FAITH – TO ENSURE YEAR/JANUARY 2024: IT’S YOUR SYNERGY – TO LIVING A COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL FULFILMENT – IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING!

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the KINGDOM of heaven suffereth VIOLENCE (OPPOSITION), and THE VIOLENT (DARING) TAKE IT BY FORCE (FAITH) ” Mathew 11:12 (Emphasis Mine).

The ASSUREDLY YEAR 2024 and Month JANUARY 2024 is here with us. And I want you to know full well that the path to live TRIUMPHANTLY a colourful, thriving, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilment in DOING LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus, are not built on MERE WISHES or WISHY-WASHY PROPHECIES. Otherwise, as the saying goes, if “WISHES where HORSES, BEGGAR’S will ride”; and I add, I will own lots of it too. Hence it’s written, that FAITH without corresponding ACTION based only on a mere BELIEVE is dead been alone.

“. . . 14 But wilt thou know, O VAIN man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? . . . 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:14-26.

“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.

Let it be known as per our redemption, that Scripturally, that is true and certainly, that God wants you to TRIUMPH always and in every place in doing LIFE and godly LIVING in Christ Jesus [2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15]. But TRIUMPHING ensuring in the assured colourful and blossoming living is not for the COWARDS, the MERE DREAMERS, the FEARFUL, the PRESUMPTUOUS, the TIMID, IGNORANT, SLOTHFUL (SLUGGARD) and those, who are aimlessly craven in such like places, expecting GREATNESS for no action of faith.

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

“And HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT” Colossians 2:15.

Also, be it known, that having the GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL living, is not for those who don’t want to ARISE and GEARED UP – that’s, to say – to put their FAITH to work in Christ Jesus stead; and more so, to those who are unwilling to take on their life TEST CHALLENGES by the FORCE OF FAITH to make and ensure their PURPOSEFUL Living comes out of their faith at work in order to turn their MESS into a MESSAGE and their TEST into TESTIMONY, by enabling and assuring grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And we DESIRE that every one of you do SHEW the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12.

Beloved friend, know for sure that colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life is for those who are DETERMINED to DARE and GEARED UP to EXERCISE their FAITH in the Lord and Savour Jesus Christ, no matter what it takes to SCRIPTURALLY ensure it. These are those, who have and are determined and committed to LEAP over their WALLS of opposition BY THE FORCE OF FAITH. The essence may start small, but are geared to ensure that their FAITH IS AT WORK for their TRIUMPH and GREATNESS. For each in Christ is given THE MEASURE OF FAITH by THE MEASURE OF GRACE also, to do life and triumph in all phase of living.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE OR CREED to be merely PREACHED but a divine mystery, that’s geared as the SYNERGY and DEFAULT in our lifestyle that we must LIVE OUT on a daily basis in order to ensure on our assured position in grace as being JUSTIFIED to reign and rule in dominion.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

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

Only those who take a stand in the grace by the TRIUMPHANT FORCE OF THEIR FAITH that can take their opportunities and possibilities with time to overcome every opposition to their colourful and meaningful life in the Lord and Saviour – Jesus Christ. Amen. I therefore asked you today, if you will you take a STAND today to act and put faith to work in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory, to make your life meaningful and fulfilling in YEAR 2024? Then you need to the DARING FORCE OF FAITH against the work of the ENEMY and COHORTS, so that you can ensure to BEING TRIUMPHANTLY assured, for your day to day, daily doing of Life and living godly in Christ Jesus in YEAR and JANUARY 2024.

I pray you will DARE and GEARED UP TRIUMPHANTLY to your CHALLENGES and FEARS by the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in the VICTORIOUS force of FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

CONNECT AND SYNCHRONISE INTO YEAR 2024 BY FAITH AND NOT BY FATE

CONNECT AND SYNCHRONISE INTO YEAR 2024 BY FAITH AND NOT BY FATE: ENTERING A TIMED YEAR WORLD WITH A TIMELESS GOD WITH THE TIMELESS WORD!

“NOW FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the EVIDENCE of things not SEEN. 2 For by IT the elders OBTAINED a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we UNDERSTAND that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the WORD of God, so that the things which are SEEN were not MADE of things which are VISIBLE . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6.

FAITH is Now – The Realm of the TIMELESS. And God lives by His TIMELESS WORD in a TIMELESS sphere and realm – called ETERNITY – IMMORTALITY. Humanity lives in the TIMED world, in a YEARLY TIMED count of the TIMED world – called MORTALITY. Hence we can say YEAR 2023 is ENDING and we are about STARTING another dawning YEAR but which may not be of the same outlook but is TIMED the same and it’s called YEAR 2024.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

“And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; 11 which also said, Ye men of Galilee, WHY STAND YE GAZING UP INTO HEAVEN? this SAME Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven” Acts 1:9-11.

And it is God who LIVES, RULES and REIGNS in the TIMELESS realm of ETERNITY by His WORD; and by His TIMELESS TIMELINE He defines the HUMANITY TIMELINE in their TIMED YEARLY count of the TIMED world; This is ONLY because DAY and NIGHT, YEARS, MONTHS, WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS, MINUTES and SECONDS are SAME and ALIKE before God, while in humanity of mortality, we do COUNT and ACCOUNT differently and are limited as a result.

“If I say, surely the DARKNESS shall cover me; even the NIGHT shall be LIGHT about me. 12 Yea, the DARKNESS HIDETH not from THEE; but the NIGHT SHINETH as the DAY: the DARKNESS and the LIGHT are both ALIKE to THEE” Psalms 139:11-12.

“While the word was in the king’s mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. 32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO WHOMSOEVER HE WILL” Daniel 4:31-32 [Daniel 5:20-21].

The ONLY factor of connection and synchronising between the TIMED world of humanity in mortality and TIMELESS world of God in eternity or immortality is called – FAITH! Our FAITH is of the WORD of God,, and having FAITH on the WORD of God makes all the synchronisation. FAITH is TIMELESS, it’s of the WORD of God and it is in the NOW and of ETERNITY, which operates through the human spirit; and the human spirit enables one to live above the limitations of the TIMED world by the help of the TIMELESS WORD of the TIMELESS timeline realm of God.

“For whatever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the WORLD. And this is the VICTORY that has OVERCOMES the WORLD – OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he who OVERCOMES the WORLD, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” (1 John 5:4-5).

FAITH is the only DE FACTO given to men to ENSURE and ASSURE, to AUTHENTICATE and ENACT, the difference so desired in order to be a MORE THAN CONQUERORS, to LIVE instead of EXISTING, to OVERCOME, to ACHIEVE, to THRIVE, to WIN, to SUCCEED and to TRIUMPH over all of the circumstances and such like limitations before humanity in mortality statuesque.

YEAR 2023 ending and YEAR 2024 is dawning and starting up, and both are only in MEASURE by man, but not with God. Hence CONNECT and SYNCHRONISE by FAITH today and you will enjoy the FULLNESS of God with a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS. And rather than the making of those year to year UNACHIEVABLE AND UNNECESSARY NEW YEAR RESOLUTION with a BASELESS foundation that disappears or are forgotten in few weeks or months time as it’s often done by many. TIMELESS FAITH is only operative by the TIMELESS WORD. You can ONLY PLEASE God by FAITH. Pleasing God brings about DILIGENCE that rewards and helps to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay.

Therefore, CONNECT AND SYNCHRONISE into YEAR 2024 by FAITH and not by FATE – by entering the TIMED YEAR 2024 with the TIMELESS GOD on the TIMELESS WORD in your human TIMED world.

IN THE DAWNING YEAR 2024 – ENSURE YOU BUILD YOU LIFE AND FAITH ON THE SURE WORD OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

IN THE DAWNING YEAR 2024 – ENSURE YOU BUILD YOU LIFE AND FAITH ON THE SURE WORD OF GOD: DO NOT BUILD ON MAN-MADE MAKE-UP BELIEVE AND A MERE UNEXAMINED PROPHECY’S!

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, as unto A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWN, and the DAY STAR ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in old time BY THE WILL OF MAN: but holy men of God SPAKE as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

I make bold to say that the New Creation in Christ Jesus stead is GOVERNED by the WORD of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit that bears witness with our own human spirit to assure, ensure and authenticate who we ARE in God. And anything short of this is – COUNTERFEIT, PERVERT, RELIGION, SPIRITISM, HUMAN CREEDS, DOGMAS, SPELL, RELIGIOUS BONDAGE and DENOMINATIONAL CULT. And as such, the New Creation is not under the SLAVERY of any man in the name of PROPHECY, fortune telling, mind reading and any such like human control to perpetuate fear and to cast spells and phobias in order to make one get entangled into their made-up mischievous belief’s. BE WARNED! You are the CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow in God in Christ Jesus, and until you leverage such power to the enemy and cohorts, none can and will be able to have dominion over you. So, let no man request of you to be given special prophecy and insights and foresights outside the authority of God’s word affirmations.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK not ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them” Isaiah 8:20.

The drama of the YEARS of 2020-2021 pandemic lying prophecy and prophesying alike, should be a LESSON for any wise person as I have always said overtime why you must BUILD LIFE and FAITH on THE SURE WORD of God if you must ACHIEVE and SUCCEED with God in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Otherwise, mere mortal men, in the name of God and who may not be ASSUREDLY moved by the Holy Spirit, will make a caricature of you through your IGNORANCE and VULNERABILITY, to offer you vision and prophecies that are enticing to your SENTIMENTAL desires. Open your spiritual heart and eyes to search the Scriptures for your own good and favour as the Bereän Christian of Acts 17:10-13 and as Apostle Paul admonished the young Timothy and others in the Holy writ. [2 Timothy 2:15 and 2 Timothy 3:14-17; Acts 20:32; Hebrews 4:12-13].

The condition of the world today, especially during and after the PANDEMIC, have proven while a mere one night CROSSOVER message and PROPHECIES and NEW YEAR RESOLUTION is not what makes you BECOME in God, but it’s your DILIGENCE walk and work of FAITH by God’s grace on the set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that gives you the enabling into the fulness of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 16:1-3, 7-9].

Therefore, let the DEFINITION of you LIFE and FAITH in God be by the WORD in the FACE of Christ Jesus, on that PREPARED – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – that you’ve set forth for in YEAR 2024 and not one wishy-washy NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and mere one night crossover PROPHECY that you are being told with special offering to seal it as would be lied that God actually intended that from you to wipe away your sorrows and pains of yester years.

Know for SURE and in CERTAINTY, that the NEW CREATION, which you ARE in Christ Jesus, have A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY in the light of the SCRIPTURES by the reason of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Therefore, do life and live godly, in the FACE of what Christ Jesus HAS DONE, HE’S DOING and will do in and through you by the Holy Spirit within you by God’s WORD – to make you BECOME what THE WORD said you ARE in Him and will be BY Him and THROUGH Him. This will save you from the falsehoods and errors around that have befallen many today.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY OF JESUS: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

However, if there be a PROPHECY or PROPHESYINGS, despised not at first but JUDGE [EXAMINE] it by the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY if it be of God – that’s the HOW to handle it by FAITH. For genuine PROPHECY or PROPHESYINGS that’s of God and His WORD and that’s inspired, revealed and empowered by the Holy Spirit of promised that’s given to us to bear witness along – does not enforced itself on any or demand a ransom from any to make  it fruitful and come to fruition. And the genuine PROPHECY or PROPHESYINGS is bound but the SCRIPTURAL context to bring about COMFORTS, EXHORTATION AND EDIFICATION – and not fear, intimidation, blaming, cursing, threatening and such like – doesn’t at any point demands for tokens in cash or kind to make it come to pass. God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION and He does not CONFUSED His children because He’s not CONFUSED at all.

“But he that PROPHESIETH SPEAKETH unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 29 Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all PROPHESY one by one, that all may learn, and all may be COMFORTED. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are SUBJECT to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .39 Wherefore, brethren, COVET TO PROPHESY, and forbid not to speak with tongues. 40 Let all things be done DECENTLY and in ORDER” 1 Corinthians 14:3, 29-33, 39-40 (Emphasis Mine).

I admonish you to SEEK after God today into the YEAR 2023, through His WORD and not through men or man-made make believe, that will keep you in BONDAGE and under or enslaved toward them and not after or toward Christ Jesus. For you BECOME what and whom you BELIEVE. You are a product of your essence of BELIEVE. Today I charge you to BELIEVE God and His WORD in Christ Jesus stead, so that you can BECOME in Him whatsoever you want to be of Him.

“QUENCH not the Spirit. 20 DESPISE NOT PROPHESYINGS. 21 PROVE all things; HOLD FAST that which is good” 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21.

You have a SURE WORD of PROPHECY which is the Holy Writs, that is speaking FORTH of what you ARE and you’ve BECOME in Christ Jesus. For the spirit of genuine PROPHECY is the TESTIMONY (TESTIFYING) of Jesus Christ; meaning it will draw and pull you towards God in Christ Jesus and not toward men. And it does not lead any to further BONDAGE or SLAVERY as to men or satan or self. The SURE WORD of PROPHECY which is of God in Christ Jesus, is not BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER and GRIEVOUS; but it liberates at no cost or charge, and is solely and only, being fulfilled in Christ Jesus as done for us in REDEMPTION; and it’s not on men’s DEMANDS for tokens in cash and or kind, to make it come to pass.

As you get set TODAY to TURN INSIDE OUT YEAR 2024 into reality, take a SCRIPTURAL STAND by the WORD through FAITH in God’s GRACE in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 5:1-2]; and not a mere WISHY-WASHY NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS and man-made PROPHECIES to make you sentimentally and momentarily joyous and afterwards lost in disbelieve what you’ve become outside God by the evaporation of what wasn’t God’s SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that you ignorantly banked and build upon.

As we are set to turn into our TIMED TIMELINE YEAR 2024, I wish you God’s BEST in His grace and BLESSEDNESS as you RESOLVE to make God’s WORD, your SURE WORD OF PROPHECY that will help you EXAMINE every other PROPHECIES and SAYINGS if they be of God, so that you can slide effortlessly, graciously and gracefully into and through to YEAR 2024 without hitches and regrets. That’s how you walk in the LIGHT and not in darkness in the dawning YEAR 2024.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH – ACT UPON IT NOW!

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on the BELIEVE on the WORD of God – that is – acting on whom and what you believe. Why BELIEVE is PASSIVE, FAITH is ACTIVE. Did you say then you have FAITH? Act on it NOW, for FAITH is now – in order to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR in EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.

FAITH is NOW: It’s a FORESIGHT with an INSIGHT – Not a new YEAR RESOLUTION, nor an act of PROCRASTINATION, ASSUMPTION, PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS; and it requires no special conference or seminar or fasting to activate; it’s not a denominational DOCTRINE or CREED or BY-LAW to activate. Simply BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT on that BELIEVE accordingly, unreservedly and uncompromisingly.

FAITH is TIMELESS: I Believe, therefore I Speak Forth Correspondingly – Acting on it, until my dawn day is dawn.

“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.

FAITH is a MYSTERY but not mystical: Faith is spiritual, as such, a mystery not subject to natural laws, instead natural laws as well as the heavenly laws submit to faith when held in PURE CONSCIENCE.

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

And as a mystery, it REWARDS without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation for any self gratifications. And whatever is done outside the mystery of FAITH is a sin in that context.

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for WHATSOEVER is NOT of FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:23.

FAITH pleases God. FAITH is the DE FACTO to do business with the heavenly. FAITH is of the WORD of God, hence a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. FAITH rewards. FAITH gives Victory. FAITH brings about triumph. FAITH sustains. FAITH overcomes. FAITH is tangible. FAITH is reachable. FAITH is touchable. FAITH is living. FAITH delivers. FAITH works only by love. FAITH is not transferable. FAITH is obtainable. FAITH is much more than words and description.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD in all you do, in order to receive the enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

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.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. 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.

“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.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your PRECIOUS FAITH!

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: PRESERVING And BUILDING Up Your PRECIOUS FAITH!

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1.

How PRECIOUS is your FAITH in Christ Jesus to you. Most will wants to MORTGAGE their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus in time like this season of Christmas for unnecessary PROFITEERING in sales and for selfish gains with FALSE BALANCE/MEASURE, by attributing gains as RIGHTEOUSNESS which unfortunately it’s not as they are blinded by their make-up beliefs.

“A FALSE BALANCE and DISHONEST BUSINESS PRACTICES are extremely offensive to the Lord, But an ACCURATE SCALE is His delight” Proverbs 11:1 (Amplified).

“DIFFERING WEIGHTS are detestable and offensive to the Lord, And FRAUDULENT SCALES are not good” Proverbs 20:23 (Amplified).

“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT NOT to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of CORRUPT MINDS, and DESTITUTE of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

Other’s will wants to acquire things which their PRECIOUS FAITH in Christ it’s not matured enough to handle, tolerate and accommodate, but just for them to live a life of falsehood to just SHOW OFF for no healthy reasons and afterwards – live in REGRETS. Being blinded to forget that the just shall live by his own faith not anothers faith to their falsehoods and unwarranted wants and an entitlement intent.

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

Beloved, your FAITH in Christ is such a PRECIOUS worth of grace that you must not go to any length for whatsoever to make it of no effect in the name of Christmas, this December and afterwards. Hence I strongly commend to God and and His WORD as it’s written:

“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.

THIS CHRISTMAS – I plead with you to TREASURE YOUR FAITH; what You Treasure You will DIGNIFY and ENSURE; therefore, ensure your FAITH is the most PRECIOUS in all.

I pray that you keep your PRECIOUS FAITH alive through this season and afterwards. Knowing and understanding that Jesus loves you in this Christmas, now as always, as you are and wants you whole afterwards.

If you are struggling to PRESERVE and BUILD your PRECIOUS FAITH, then upheld your FAITH by praying in the Spirit – HOLY GHOST.

Be BLESSED.

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH: YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT!

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

Sometimes in the course of life, things – ADVERSITIES – do happens. How we go about it 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? Do you go down to Egypt as Isaac of Abraham in Genesis 26:1-6 or take the step of FAITH as a SHIELD on God’s WORD to believe that with God you can make a new starts up to a better today and tomorrow, in spite of all the odds that are before you or had befallen you. That we are not of them who cast away our confidence in God or pull back into perdition but of them that believed in the all possible God in His people in all circumstances.

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the PROMISE. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

I want you to also know full well – that, there’s a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH as well as a GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. And there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE in the course and cause of doing life and to living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s the HOW you use the WORD in MATTERS of life – to either RESPOND instead of to REACT – that defines if you are on a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH and BAD WARFARE or GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH and GOOD WARFARE, in Christ Jesus stead. For the ability to have the good fight of FAITH and good WARFARE is what makes your assured stands in grace 24/7, in all the phases of doing life and living godly to fulfill purpose meaningfully.

“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.

“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.

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest 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.

I WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE MATERIAL GAINS, THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE. Your FAITH is your VICTORY – and when the enemy and cohorts get your FAITH caught up by any chance – everything about you goes down – for your FAITH is your SHIELD in dealing with the challenges of life in the world and it’s system of operandi. Hence your FAITH on the WORD is an indispensable acquisition NEVER to trade about for any price or prize.

“Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED” Ephesians 6:16.

“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.

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, they will not only ruin you but will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; knowing, when you succeed in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries.

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, but he and cohorts eventually and completely 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. Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ, 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. That’s all you need now, today and always.

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE 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!!! Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. You must contend daily for your FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. You must RESIST by FAITH the enemy and cohorts steadfastly on daily basis, to keep your statuesque in life and grace. You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness by FAITH. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

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

“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.

I pray that as you stand by FAITH upon the grace for your JUSTIFICATION and ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus, that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

“. . .  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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: BEING FAITHFUL IS REWARDING!

Many times I have come across the QUEST for an ANSWER by some Believers who are genuine in their dedication and commitment toward God and toward men – burdened as to say  – if indeed being FAITHFUL, that’s is, FAITHFULNESS, is still REWARDING at all. Some of these people have been beaten and battered in life in many ways that the drive and passion to remain FAITHFUL seems deceptive, illusive and unrealistic to them in matters of  life and godly living.

And sometimes as a Pastor, you are almost drawn into these sentiments of people whose acts of FAITHFULNESS are shattered, when you are presented with the vivid facts of their encounters and experiences. Especially when you see matters of life in this light:

** A woman being beaten up and maimed by the temperamental and untampered husband or like another husband having a wife you can’t truly be assured anymore of her ways due to the change from a WE statement to an – I, ME and MYSELF trinity.

** When an employee working and putting up with much of the skill to see the business setting THRIVE for the good of the Business with hope while such employee is being undermined by the employer with no fair and justifiable returns; or an employer doing and going beyond the company capacity to ensure employees are looked after, are given a good commensurate returns and care, while therein are some mean, dubious, undedicated and untrustworthy employee, who are there only for the looting, wasting and undermining the prospects of seeing such Business THRIVE knowingly and unknowingly; and they knowing that their doings may have terrible impact on them and all those who looks up to them through that means for their livelihood.

** When a government is failing in governance to the cause and course of giving leadership and governance in the distribution of the set resources to everyone without prejudice, discrimination and dissemination and such like; while there are some others within the system sabotaging the good effort and structure in place for the good governance and wealth distribution to all by their wicked, crafty, cunning and evil intent to loot the system and make it fail at no consequence.

** And the list goes on and on in various life applications of the challenge of FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL. You can name them too to make up this paragraph.

However, I am emboldened to say by the light of the Scriptures that BEING FAITHFUL – that is, FAITHFULNESS is rewarding in God, no Matter the prevailing challenges and circumstances that one might face or have been facing for a while or may face later on. For me, the knowing that God is FAITHFUL to Himself and His WORD in all about LIFE and GODLY LIVING, I recommend again of the need to live FAITHFUL. Hence, we are employed and enjoined as Believers in Christ Jesus stead, that in whatever capacity – WORD OR DEED, in carrying out our duty or Services, as toward God and toward man, we should do it as unto  God in the name of Jesus Christ; for God is FAITHFUL to REWARD us accordingly in spite of all happenings, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore I say to you, hold fastly and firmly the MYSTERY of your FAITH in the grace in Christ Jesus stead, with a PURE CONSCIENCE.

Herein are few hints but not limited to indicate that FAITHFULNESS – BEING FAITHFUL, IS REWARDING in God, in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, gets one an enriching rewards and abounds with blessings. Proverbs 28:20; Proverbs 10:22; Ephesians 1:3.
  2. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, permits progress and abounds with healing and health. Proverbs 13:17, 2 Corinthians 5:20.
  3. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with refreshing grace for the good of others. Proverbs 25:13; Isaiah 44:24-26.
  4. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with commendation and the enabling to increase and promotion. Matthew 25:21, 23; Mark 10:28-30.
  5. FAITHFULNESS – Being FAITHFUL, abounds with eternal reward. Matthew 25:21b, 23b; Mark 10:28-30.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: LIVING FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN!

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the WILL of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to THE FAITHFUL in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 1:1

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

The knowing that GOD IS FAITHFUL and we need to live FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD Him, is a gracious and graceful place and position to be in Christ Jesus stead; but that’s not complimentary enough until we actualised our life, by being FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD men. THERE’S THE NEED TODAY TO LIVE FAITHFUL TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN; more so, especially those that are set apart to LOOK WELL and ACCOUNT for souls in the Kingdom spiritually.

It does mean, that we can’t claim to be FAITHFUL toward God, while we go about living UNFAITHFUL life’s toward those who OVERSEES our spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. It is a dangerous place to take when you are not living Scripturally FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY TOWARD the one you know that you’ve inclined your spiritual mentorship in leadership toward, irrespective of any circumstance.

Today, we have lots and loads of loose or loosen believers who thinks FREEDOM in Christ Jesus stead or under grace is without boundaries and precautionary measures. Unfortunately, many have not taken time to read the clauses in Galatians 5:1, 13 (1-25), as to not using their freedom or liberty in Christ Jesus for FLESH-RULED behaviours. Hence many do not know how to BEHAVE themselves in the house of God, for which Apostle Paul cautioned, charged, admonished and exhorted Timothy in such respect as in the Holy writ:

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, that thou MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE thyself in the HOUSE of God, which is the CHURCH of the living God, the pillar and ground of the TRUTH” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Apostle Paul was such an outstanding Apostle, who knew what it means to hold the mystery of the Gospel FAITH in PURE CONSCIENCE and to live in GOOD and FAITHFUL CONSCIENCE toward God and toward men in respect [Acts 24:16; 1 Timothy 3:9]. As such he could hand over the failing UNFAITHFUL BRETHREN to satan to teach such the needed lesson to value their FAITH peradventure; and to help such see the need to live Scripturally FAITHFUL in all that pertains to doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:28-29; 1 Corinthians 5:1-6].

He could do this on the principle of knowing the responsibility and accountability on his shoulder as an OVERSEER over God’s heritage, in order to present them perfect – complete, whole – as one that’s being looked up for spiritual guidance toward God in Christ Jesus stead; also, for the reason of the abundant of grace in revelation that he has received of God in the Gospel [Colossians 1:28-29; Galatians 1:11-24].

However, the same Apostle Paul, in order to ACCOUNT FAITHFULLY to his MINISTERIAL set CALL and PURSUIT in God in Christ Jesus stead, was able also to SAY and ACCOUNT graciously and gracefully of the FAITHFUL BRETHREN about him; these are people he can ascertain and account of their being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in Christ without a shadow of – RESPECT of persons or for any GAIN as some may be lured to do. He knows the implications of such PRINCIPLED responsibility and accountability to be an OVERSEER over God’s heritage and precious people for their spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. Hence a Gospel Minister, POSITIONED to ATTEST and ACCOUNT of the FAITH of the flocks must see it as a SACRED duty, privileged and opportunity to SERVE FAITHFUL and FAITHFULLY toward God and toward men without sentiment, prejudice, dissimulation and irrespective.

Herein are few examples of FAITHFUL Brethren in Christ Jesus as accredited to Apostle Paul and Peter Account and not limited however:

** Tychicus – (A BELOVED Brother, A FAITHFUL Minister and Fellow servant in the Lord) – Colossians 4:7-8;  Ephesians 6:21-22.

** Onesimus – (A FAITHFUL and BELOVED Brother) – Colossians 4:9.

** Epaphras – (A Dear Fellowservant and FAITHFUL Minister) – Colossians 1:7.

** Timotheus – (A BELOVED Son and FAITHFUL in the Lord) – 1 Corinthians 4:17.

** Lydia – (A BELOVED and FAITHFUL Woman in the Lord) Acts 16:14-16.

** Silvanus – (A FAITHFUL Brother) – 1 Peter 5:12.

There are other FAITHFUL Brethren though not mentioned as Ephesians 1:1 will enjoin of those in Christ Jesus. The essence of these mentioned, is to indicate that our being FAITHFUL is not only TOWARD God, but also TOWARD men – especially those who are place of God to OVERSEE your spiritual well-being in Christ Jesus stead. They have a responsibility and accountability in principle to ensure they bestow and commit Kingdom Ministerial work only to the FAITHFUL Brethren – 2 Timothy 2:1-3; for not all in the house of God have FAITH or rather are endeavouring to live FAITHFUL to the CAUSE of God and toward men – 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Obey them that have the RULE over you, and SUBMIT yourselves: for they WATCH for your souls, as they that MUST GIVE ACCOUNT, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you” Hebrews 13:17.

“Be thou DILIGENT to KNOW the STATE of thy FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL to thy HERDS” Proverbs 27:23.

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and STEWARDS OF THE MYSTERIES of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a man be found FAITHFUL. 3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man’s judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self” 1 Corinthians 4:1-3.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they WHICH ARE OF FAITH, the same are the CHILDREN of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, IN THEE SHALL ALL NATIONS BE BLESSED. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

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

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how FAITH wrought with his works, and by works was FAITH made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the FRIEND of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only” James 2:20-24.

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