SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou therefore, my son, be STRONG in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many WITNESSES, the same COMMIT thou to FAITHFUL men, who shall be able to TEACH others also. 3 Thou therefore ENDURE hardness, as a GOOD SOLDIER of Jesus Christ” 2 Timothy 2:1-3.

“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON THAT IS FORMED AGAINST THEE SHALL PROSPER; and EVERY TONGUE that shall rise against thee in JUDGMENT thou shalt CONDEMN. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:15-17.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD” 1 Corinthians 10:32.

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

“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, TO FEED THE CHURCH OF GOD, which he hath purchased with his own blood” Acts 20:28.

“Husbands, love your wives, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 THAT HE MIGHT PRESENT IT TO HIMSELF A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; but that it should be HOLY AND WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to LOVE their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; BUT NOURISHETH AND CHERISHETH IT, EVEN AS THE LORD THE CHURCH: 30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: BUT I SPEAK CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so LOVE his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” Ephesians 5:25-33.

“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 you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 and having SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, he made a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:13-15.

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And THE CAPTAIN of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so” Joshua 5:13-15.

“The Lord shall send the ROD of thy STRENGTH out of ZION (THE CHURCH): RULE thou in the MIDST of thine ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING (VOLUNTEER) in the Day OF THY POWER, in the BEAUTIES OF HOLINESS from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy youth” Psalms 110:2-3.

MIRRORING YOUR WELL-BEING BY GOD’S LOVE

MIRRORING YOUR WELL-BEING BY GOD’S LOVE: LOVING THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD IN THE EYES OF CHRIST JESUS!

“And [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:19 Amplified.

Mirroring God’s LOVE in our lives, is believer’s earnest desired intent and expectations to live along with in their respective day to day walk with God in Christ Jesus stead. The question then is, how would you do it? How do you do it? And how are you doing it in your day to day living thus far? Is it through the eyes of your DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church sectarian by-laws and creeds or as done in the WORLD definition or you are DOING it through the EYES and FACE of Christ in the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of God as in the Scriptures?

“For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the One who has SHONE in our hearts to give us the LIGHT of the KNOWLEDGE of the glory and majesty of God [clearly revealed] in the FACE of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6 Amplified.

LOVING through KNOWLEDGE in the EYES and FACE of JESUS by the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to us, is the essence of FULFILLING scriptures and being FULFILLED in God, in Christ Jesus.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us . . .  8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET sinners, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

If you do mirror your essence of God’s love in order to do life through the eyes of the DENOMINATIONAL and DOCTRINAL Church as by their set by-laws and creeds and or the WORLD definition as seen in today’s view, I promised you this verily, that you will be stigmatised, lock in dogmas, creed and self-centred; more so, you will eventually be full of any or all of these: religion-made, self-made and man-made, with it’s bondages and captivity which are as ascertain from all sorts, and may seems good in human eyes but full of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in every perception and life dealings; and the worst of it is that, it’s not healthy and gracious for godly living before the God of LOVE in in the knowledge of Christ Jesus stead as SCRIPTURALLY enjoined.

For when you mirror God’s love from and through the saving gracious knowledge on the eyes and face of Christ Jesus, in order to do life and live godly, I can verily promise you, that you will be LIBERATED from all forms of bondage and captivity, and you will eventually – have be WHOLEHEARTEDLY experiencing WHOLENESS in your triune being of spirit, soul and body; and God’s love in Christ Jesus will take hold of you in all way to do life and live FULFILLING scriptures – BLESSEDLY, MEANINGFULLY and PURPOSEFULLY.

“Love is to be sincere and active [the real thing—without guile and hypocrisy]. Hate what is evil [detest all ungodliness, do not tolerate wickedness]; hold on tightly to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another with [authentic] brotherly affection [as members of one family], give preference to one another in honor; 11 never lagging behind in diligence; aglow in the Spirit, enthusiastically serving the Lord; 12 constantly rejoicing in hope [because of our confidence in Christ], steadfast and patient in distress, devoted to prayer [continually seeking wisdom, guidance, and strength], 13 contributing to the needs of God’s people, pursuing [the practice of] hospitality . . .” Romans 12:9-21 Amplified.

Genuine freedom is seeing God’s love from the eyes of Christ Jesus if you dare desire to genuinely live free in GRACE and in God’s KNOWLEDGE – wholesomely, purposefully and meaningfully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, let us LOVE one another, for LOVE is of God; and everyone who LOVES is born of God and knows God.  8 He who DOES NOT LOVE does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE.  9 In this the LOVE of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the world, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM.  10 In this is LOVE, not that we LOVED God, but that He LOVED us and sent His Son to be the PROPITIATION for our sins.  11 Beloved, if God so LOVED us, we also ought to LOVE one another” 1 John 4:7-11.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED THEM UNTO THE END . . . 34 A NEW COMMANDMENT I give unto you, That ye LOVE one another; as I have LOVED you, that ye also LOVE one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have LOVE one to another” John 13:1, 34-35.

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” Hebrews 12:1-2.

“God, who at SUNDRY TIMES and in DIVERS MANNERS SPAKE IN TIME PAST unto the fathers by the PROPHETS, 2 hath in these LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath APPOINTED heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the EXPRESS image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” Hebrews 1:1-4.

“. . . 16 May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality], 17 so that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] ROOTED and [securely] GROUNDED in LOVE, 18 be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God’s people) the width and length and height and depth of His LOVE [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love]; 19 and [that you may come] to KNOW [practically, through personal experience] the LOVE of Christ which far SURPASSES and TRANSCENDS [mere] SENSE knowledge [without experience], that you may be FILLED up [throughout your being] to all the FULLNESS of God [so that you may have the RICHEST experience of God’s presence in your lives, completely FILLED and FLOODED with God Himself]” Ephesians 3:14-19 Amplified.

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE

THE HOLY SPIRIT OF LOVE: IS THE ANSWER OF GOD’S LOVED WORLD TO THE SPHERE AND QUESTIONS OF AN EVIL, WICKED AND HATE WORLD TODAY!

Do you have QUESTIONS about the hate, evil, wickedness, murder, violent and more in our world today? There’s an ANSWER. The ANSWER is by ensuring in the midst of the evil and wickedness in the world, that God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus, becomes our FUNDAMENTAL and PRINCIPLED guidance in all essence of living godly and doing life.

“Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED out in our HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE toward us, in that, while we were YET SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

And LIVING and WALKING by the Holy Spirit of love, is the only EMPOWERING way to manifest and demonstrate the characteristics of God’s Love in Christ Jesus – that is how God’s LOVED WORLD answers to an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD questions.

God’s love in Christ Jesus is characterised and summed in 1 Corinthians 13. It’s all possible by the working of the indwelling Spirit of love given to us – The Holy Spirit is shed and poured in our hearts – the subconscious spirit man to ensure that we triumph always all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Romans 5:5, 8; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 2 Peter 1:2-4.

God’s kind of love, is the only way to do life and live through and above the knowledge of hate, selfishness, evil, wickedness and violence in the world that we see today. God’s love in Christ Jesus helps us to transcend and surpass the human based kind of love, which is of the SENSES – See, Smell, Feel, Taste And Hear. Ephesians 3:16-19.

Living by God’s LOVED WORLD setting, is the ANSWER to the SPHERE and QUESTIONS of an EVIL WORLD, WICKED WORLD and HATE WORLD.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER FOR HUMAN EMANCIPATION: IT’S OUR GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE SUPREME TASK!

Why worried that in the existence of the Church, the world is still going crazy in stupidity and foolishness and in every bad taste of trajectory with wars, hunger, distortion, confusion and unstable governments and governance. It’s simply because, for this – all they hear and see is nothing but RELIGION and DENOMINATION and DOCTRINAL sect’s. Unlike the early Disciples and Apostles of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, who PREACHED the GOSPEL and were acclaimed as they who turned their world inside out or upside down by the GOSPEL they proclaimed and were set to die for the cause and course.

“. . .  6 And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have TURNED THE WORLD UPSIDE DOWN ARE COME hither also . . .” Acts 17:1-7.

“Now when they saw the BOLDNESS of Peter and John, and PERCEIVED that they were UNLEARNED and IGNORANT men, they marveled; and they took KNOWLEDGE of them, that they had BEEN with Jesus. 14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it” Acts 4:13.

For a no GOSPEL world in any phase and dispensation, indicates all the worries of today and such like. For only by the GOSPEL that the world can experience the EMANCIPATION from all known and unknown bondages to have faith toward God’s SALVATION in Christ Jesus and to receive the REVELATION by faith to faith, of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS (righteous stand) for complete liberation of all. Romans 5:1-2.

The consummation of God’s elect for man’s salvation with religion, denomination and doctrinal sect DOGMAS will not emancipate any, no matter how much investment and resources, instead it will get people enslaved in the DOGMAS and keep them to be devoted in commitment and dedication to such like sectarianism of believe as we see across the board.

Religious, denominationized and doctrinal “GOSPEL” are very destructive and keeps people in perpetual subjection and bondages and dogmas as long it’s there. That’s why Apostle Paul warns the Galatians Church of their shift from the Gospel that brought them genuine salvation into “ANOTHER GOSPEL”.

“I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though WE, or AN ANGEL from heaven, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, denomination and doctrine but the POWER and WISDOM of God for all human salvation irrespective of gender, colour, tongue and geographical location and inclinations. (Acts 17:24-30; Revelation 5:9-10; Romans 1:16-17; Romans 3:26-29).

The Gospel has been before the law, the psalms and the prophet, to answer those who are outbound and out bent by the law, Psalms and prophet’s as basis and ground of faith toward God and His Christ rather than the gospel which is Christ and express in the WORD, of which He’s the WORD (John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7). God PREACHED the GOSPEL to Father Abraham through whom the whole nation and families shall be blessed on the earth long before the law, the psalms and the prophets and others came to being. Meaning also, long before religion, denomination and doctrine, was crafted and shaped by men for all to be enslaved into as a sect.

“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” Galatians 3:6-9 (2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

“Now the Lord had SAID unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 and I will make of thee a GREAT NATION, and I will BLESS thee, and make thy name great; AND THOU SHALT BE A BLESSING: 3 and I will BLESS them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall ALL FAMILIES OF THE EARTH BE BLESSED” Genesis 12:1-3.

I am emboldened to say today, that any FOUNDATION that’s not centered on the GOSPEL wherein God’s power and wisdom are ascertained for human SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS, leads to SELF, HYPE and APPLAUD and ENTITLEMENTS of men and not after God and His Christ Jesus, for the good of all mankind in Christ Jesus stead. 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have NOTHING TO GLORY of: for NECESSITY is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing WILLINGLY, I have a REWARD: but if AGAINST my will, a DISPENSATION of THE GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:16-17.

“For I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“How then shall they CALL on him in whom they have NOT BELIEVED? and how shall they BELIEVE in him of whom they have NOT HEARD? and how shall they HEAR without a PREACHER? 15 and how shall they PREACH, except they be SENT? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL are the FEET of them that PREACH THE GOSPEL of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the GOSPEL. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath BELIEVED our report? 17 So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:14-17.

“Yea, so have I strived to PREACH THE GOSPEL, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: 21 but as it is written, To whom he was NOT SPOKEN of, they shall see: and they that have NOT HEARD shall understand” Romans 15:20-21.

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

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 GO ye therefore, and TEACH all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 TEACHING them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:18-20.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature . . . 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and PREACHED everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming THE WORD with signs following. Amen” Mark 16:15-20.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was great joy in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

BE NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

BE NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL: LIVE OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE!

One day, I worked into a grocery shopping building to make purchases of some few items for the family. While going through the isle’s I cast my mind at a distance on a Christian Brother whom I know too well and coincidentally worship together in same multicultural Church in my early days in a new Mission City. Not realizing he has seen me earlier and for his own obvious reasons, was hiding behind one of the structural pillars that holds the grocery building. And unfortunately for him, I was not going to tolerate such attitude which is contrary to the Gospel of Christ, just as Apostle Paul took a measure of note on Apostle Peter for such behavior as in the Holy Writ of Galatians 2:11-16 (1-21).

I walked up toward this Beloved Brother to exchange greetings. WHY MUST I HAVE TO DO THAT? Considering I could see he is hiding behind the pillars from identifying with me as one ever known in public place while in Church gathering meetings he pretends we are same in a building with hugs and hand-shakes. I wanted him to know that in the Kingdom of God and of His Christ Jesus, who is the head of His Church, that there is no Black or White Christian’s or Christianity. There is no Jew not Greek, male or female and such like. For God is a Spirit and those that worthily WORSHIP and acceptably SERVE Him, does it in SPIRIT and TRUTH and not in colors of the skin, race, gender, status and more. John 4:19-24. Meaning, in the REALM of the Spirit worship and services of God in Christ Jesus, neither of his intent to hide away from me should ever exist because of the color of the skin. His UNDERSTANDING in that moment indicates that within the Church building we could greet and hug as brethren, but beyond that, the Gospel is not in operation to relate as brethren. When I met him, I shocked hand and exchange greetings asking him of his family and such like to break that misnomer circus that contradict the GOSPEL of Christ Jesus. Being hopeful that he KNOWS and understands that what he did was unnecessary for him and me before the world that needs the gospel today and right now. (Romans 3:28-30; Romans 9:23-25; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6, 13-18 etc).

“For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK: for the SAME Lord OVER ALL is rich unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.

On the contrary, there are many today, whose Gospel of Christ Jesus only exist within the Church building. They are ASHAMED of being noted in their place of work or doing life that they are Christians and followers of Jesus Christ. They bury their head in the sand as the Ostrich, not necessarily because they are being questioned, they see it as being antisocial in behavior for them to take a stand in Christ Jesus stead in public domain; but will tolerate someone misbehavior and indecent gesture about them. HOW COMFORTABLE AND COOL IS THAT! That it is okay for you to accommodate indecent behavior without question about you, and can’t say to such with the attitude, this is unwelcome in my world of doing life, just because you don’t want to be labeled a fanatics, religious bigots or any such like name they choose to call you in that environment. Forgetting that Jesus Christ was called numerous names in His humanity, while on the PATH to fulfill PURPOSE – “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE”, which brought our salvation in His redemption did and deed.

Are you ASHAMED of the GOSPEL? Are you ASHAMED to TESTIFY to others of your FAITH when it matters? How many times have you seen those we love dearly and care about passed on without Christ Jesus born in their hearts towards God in Christ Jesus. How comfortable are you then watching opportunities slips away of sharing the Gospel truth to a friend or colleague or family member of the goodness of your God in Christ Jesus stead. HELL is real and HEAVEN is real, knowingly or unknowingly. The Gospel is not about being religious or coming into the building called Church or the Church. It’s the POWER of God for human salvation and liberation; and it’s irrespective of color, race, status, tongue and such like as it’s written:

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of EVERY KINDRED, AND TONGUE, AND PEOPLE, AND NATION; 10 and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

Therefore, take a look INWARD and ask yourself if you are a promoter of the Gospel of Christ Jesus causes or ashamed of being a part of him in the first place. And why watch your love one’s and those you dearly care about ends in life without Christ Jesus, because the GOSPEL of Christ wasn’t made known to their reach.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels” Mark 8:35-38.

“So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 FOR I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST: FOR IT IS THE POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:15-17.

“As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed” Romans 9:33.

“Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ’s, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s. 8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed: 9 that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters” 2 Corinthians 10:7-9.

“Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. 14 For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. 15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him” 2 Timothy 7:13-15.

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be Not Thou Therefore Ashamed OF THE TESTIMONY OF OUR LORD, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began” 2 Timothy 1:7-9.

“Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. 15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that NEEDETH NOT TO BE ASHAMED, rightly dividing the word of truth. 16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness” 2 Timothy 2:14-16.

“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. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 and patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 and hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-5.

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away? 26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God” Luke 9:23-27.

“But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. 12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision. 13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. 14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:11-16.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: THERE’S THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a FAMINE of BREAD, nor a THIRST for WATER, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD . . .” Amos 8:11-13.

It’s a great time to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, and give your EARS to the HEARING of the SAYINGS of God, before the FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD takes hold of you as it’s so obvious in many places today.

“. . . 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

It’s time to INCLINE your EARS to GOD’S WORD by HEARING and giving attendance to God’s SAYINGS, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in the midst of the challenging times. For FAITH comes by the HEARING of the WORD.

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

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

There are many VOICES in the air 24/7, and whom and what you LISTEN to will shape up your life, in every now and then. One is either HEARING to the saying of the WORD of God to APPROVE one, otherwise may be hearing the saying that’s pose for self-APPLAUD and HYPE by SOCIAL MEDIA and other MULTIMEDIA platforms; and or by the tradition and rudiments of the world, and or by the satanic and cohorts sayings, and or by self make-believe or made-believe, and or by the circumstances of the environment and such like.

It’s time not to feed on rubbish or from the waste bin garbage simply because you wants to feed. Wake up and locate a place for the HEARING OF THE WORD OF GOD not to SENTIMENTS and PREJUDICE that appeal to your emotions and circumstances. God’s INTENT is to GIVE you SHEPHERD that will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING that you might grow up in GRACE and be established in the FAITH. (Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 4:7). And it’s responsibility and accountability toward locating one today and begin to hear aright the SAYINGS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There’s a genuine reality today of falsehoods, adulteration, perversion and dilution of the authentic and authoritative WORD of God by the deluded preachers and others in manifold manifestations in the name of Church or Ministry (Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18) It’s not surprising because the Scriptures knew before now of the upcoming FAMINE of the HEARING of The WORD of God.

A lack of the genuine HEARING of the WORD means a lack of FAITH. Faith is the transaction tender between Man and God. Which when lack, or adulterated or fake or diluted, one can’t trade in the Kingdom or Heavenly Business with God. Do you know the effect and consequences of that? It’s therefore imperative that you wake up from your lazy butt and begin to examine what you are HEARING today before the – The FAMINE of the HEARING of the WORD kicks into your being and overwhelms you in life and godly living.

For a NO HEARING of the WORD means a NO FAITH and that means a NO TRANSACTION in the heavenly for your earthly affairs under God. Heaven does not accept fake or adulterated or perverted or counterfeited or polluted and such like tender for transactions outside FAITH which is derived build up from the HEARING of THE WORD of God.

Therefore, do yourself a favour and examine what you are hearing and feeding your being if it’s God’s WORD or any of these but not limited: Man make-believe, traditional dogmas, denominational creeds and bye-laws, cultural sayings of the old fables, rudiments of this world, philosophy of men, prejudice and sentimental appeals and such like.

THE ONLY ANTIDOTE TO THE FAMINE OF THE WORD, IS THE HEARING OF THE WORD.

I pray you don’t run to and fro when it’s too late to look for the WORD. Do yourself a favour today before FAMINE kicks in and make-believe or made-believe takes over.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I WILL SEND A FAMINE IN THE LAND, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, BUT OF HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst” Amos 8:11-13.

“My son, ATTEND to my WORDS; INCLINE THINE EAR UNTO MY SAYINGS. 21 Let them not DEPART from thine EYES; keep them in the midst of thine HEART. 22 For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy HEART with all DILIGENCE; for out of it are the ISSUES OF LIFE” Proverbs 4:20-23.

“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.

“And I will give you PASTORS according to mine heart, which shall FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

“But GROW in GRACE, and in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18.

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“I MARVEL that ye are so soon REMOVED from him that CALLED you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: 7 which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be SOME that TROUBLE you, and would PERVERT the gospel of Christ. 8 But though WE, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any other gospel unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any other gospel unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

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

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD: LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD!

The sovereignty of God over all its without controversy. He’s that determines and defines what was, is and to come. As such He created all things for His own pleasure and glory, dominion and power, and He’s answerable to none. All creation bow before Him and adore His majesty. He’s indescribable and incomprehensible in all that pertains to doing life – earthly wise and living godly – heavenly wise. He’s SOVEREIGNTY reign through all generations and dispensation, past and present and holds the world and all that dwells therein in the palms of His hands. At His presence Kingdom shakes and governments stand still and people and other creation trembles. Words are not enough to qualify and quantify Him but we can sum Him up by looking through the face of Christ Jesus, our Saviour and Lord.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

Being sovereign makes God say unto Moses, I will have mercy on whom I choose to have mercy irrespective of what any think, imagine and expect of Him. He chose Moses, who stammered instead of Aaron his eloquent speaking brother to LEAD His people out of Egypt toward the promised land. Sometimes in human sense, it seems God is just partial and unfair in His dealings with us, but that’s what MAKES Him SOVEREIGN, because what He sees and knows and understands to make Him take on certain decisions are beyond our infinitesimal imagination and thoughts. For His ways are not our ways. Hence, to imagine God saying I chose Jacob instead of Esau, Joseph instead of other eleven children of Jacob and to choose of Joseph his son Manasseh instead of Ephraim and Apostle Paul a Chief Sinner as he called himself to preach the New Creation Gospel, tells a lot of God’s sovereignty in human affairs and all about His creation. And in all, He remains the just, good and faithful, true and sure Father God in His sovereignty.

Have you ever imagine going through life, and people you consider to have no ground of existence are still here and those you considered to have a ground are no more? Think of any scenario in human affairs, sometimes you wonder why certain things happen to certain people and not others in your own perception of things. Does it mean that God hates some and loves some? And that God is an unrighteous judge in His sovereign decision? But that’s not the case at all with God in our human perception and limitations of His SOVEREIGNTY in our earthly affairs and heavenly affairs. There’s the operating default in God’s sovereignty over all, it’s called MERCY – THE MERCY OF GOD. The MERCY OF GOD is that default in Him that enables divine kindness that offsets divine judgment for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes in living on our earthly and heavenly affairs. It is the MERCY of God that enables one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension. Through the cause of time, in the phases of the divine PURPOSE on our life’s, we FRAIL being humans, just as the Psalmist will declare that the Lord knows our FRAIL and FRAMES, and it is our living under the cover of His MERCY that we can keep on keeping on as it’s written:

“Just as a father LOVES his children, So the Lord LOVES those who FEAR and WORSHIP Him [with AWE-FILLED RESPECT and DEEPEST REVERENCE]. 14  For He KNOWS our [MORTAL] FRAME; He remembers that we are [merely] dust” Psalms 103:13-14 AMPLIFIED.

Apostle Paul, considering his havoc to the Church of God and others, knows God’s MERCY so well in his cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. That enables him not to FAINT but to explore God’s MERCY tremendously, in order to live a fulfilled LIFE and GODLINESS, in his ministry as written:

“Therefore SEEING we have this MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT” 2 Corinthians 4:1.

YOU NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYDAY OPPORTUNITY YOU HAVE TO HIDE AND LIVE YOUR LIFE ON THE MERCY OF GOD. For God is sovereign and decides the times and terms of life for all, irrespective of status, religion, gender, color, tongue and such like. Therefore, enough of that pride and arrogance and misplaced priority and stubbornness and such like, because life is as a mist that appears in the new dawn and straight away it’s all gone. Make every opportunity you have to count and account for you in doing life in earthly affairs and living godly in heavenly affairs in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Go to now, ye that say, Today or tomorrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 WHEREAS YE KNOW NOT WHAT SHALL BE ON THE MORROW. FOR WHAT IS YOUR LIFE? IT IS EVEN A VAPOUR, THAT APPEARETH FOR A LITTLE TIME, AND THEN VANISHETH AWAY. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin” John 4:13-17.

.

Just know, it’s only the knowing and understanding that you are LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD, that you can keep on keeping on even in the Face of: FAINTING, TRIBULATIONS, TRIALS, OPPOSITION, DISAPPOINTMENT, SICKNESSES AND DISEASES, FAMILY BREAKDOWN, MARITAL STRUGGLE, FRUSTRATIONS IN SINGLENESS, CHILDLESSNESS AND MANY MORE SUCH LIKE MALADIES OF LIFE.

Today, I call on you to let GOD’S MERCY speak for you in that life challenges as the two blind men experienced of God in Matthew 9:27-31. They explore the sovereign default MERCY OF GOD, and that interjection act of PRAYER, speaks into their situation and change their life storyline forever, on the earthly affairs. It could be your time now. Act accordingly for your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there UNRIGHTEOUSNESS with God? GOD FORBID. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath CALLED, NOT OF THE JEWS ONLY, BUT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them MY PEOPLE, which were NOT MY PEOPLE; and HER BELOVED, which was NOT BELOVED . . .” Romans 9:1-33.

“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. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, AS WE HAVE RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT; 2 but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 FOR GOD, WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, HATH SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, TO GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST. 7 But we have this TREASURE in EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY of the POWER may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 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; 14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, WORKETH for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME

By Leave a Comment

DARE TO BELIEVE AND BELONG TO BECOME: FOR NO WORD – NO FAITH, IF YOU MUST FUNCTION TO BECOME!

It’s time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE – in order to BECOME by God’s WORD and in EVERYWAY in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.

Many times I have seen Church folks being very skeptical for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD and to His work in His Church; and yet want the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and BECOME in every way in LIFE and GODLINESS. Most reasons are simply for their FEAR PHOBIA that they may lose out if they do make such acts to be dedicated and committed. And unfortunately, their being skeptical had not made them better in spite of their despised to God’s WORD and His Church – (1 John 5:3-5).

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 – (Romans 10:17). Faith in Christ Jesus, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a doctrinal nor denominational creed and religious dogmas that is just there to be known.

Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access and justified essence in grace 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 endeavors to FUNCTION and BECOME in God – (Hebrews 11:6).

And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church with a daring spirit and not fear phobia, in LIFE and GODLINESS. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE 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.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES: THE EFFECT OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF THE EYES AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“But thanks be to God, who ALWAYS leads us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us SPREADS and MAKES evident EVERYWHERE the SWEET FRAGRANCE of the knowledge of Him” 2 Corinthians 2 14 (Amplified).

“When He had DISARMED the rulers and authorities [those supernatural forces of evil operating against us], He MADE a public example of them [exhibiting them as captives in His TRIUMPHAL procession], having TRIUMPHED over them through the cross” Colossians 2:15 (Amplified)

I want to know for certain, that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you are the Church in TRIUMPH and not the architectural building where the ingathering to worship our God worthily and to serve Him acceptably is centered. And knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION (2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15). And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the  SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES (Galatians 5:16, 24-25).

“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.

It thus means TRIUMPH is by living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads, by the WORD of God, through your human spirit by the auction within you (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27). This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being that is SPIRIT-RULED and not BODILY-RULED or FLESHLY-RULED. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life within you – Romans 8:1-17. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9; Romans 12:4), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).

So to FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God (1 Corinthians 1:9), there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. Thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference (Matthew 12:43-45). And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is by your spirit and in the truth – the WORD of God (John 4:19-24).

The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, 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 there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These FIVE SENSES EFFECTS are 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 EFFECT was shown at the beginning by Eve and Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in FAITH and FELLOWSHIP with God (Genesis 3). These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting at the TEMPTATION mountain (Luke 4:1-13; Matthew 4:1-11). Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around looking for who will fall to it’s sword (1 John 2:15-17). Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple affirmative statements to His firm FAITH in the WORD – IT IS WRITTEN – Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 4:1-13 (1 John 5:4-5; Colossians 2:15; Philemon 1:6). Thus meaning No WORD, No FAITH and No TRIUMPH – 2 Corinthians 2:14. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, Man-made believes, creeds and such likes.

Therefore, as the TRIUMPH CHURCH in Christ Jesus stead, let us us ARISE and be TRIUMPHANT for we are – by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – desired EFFECTS – of the FLESH.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
