The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to life’s, homes, communities, nations and more.

And you are the Church, the triumphant and glorious Soldier of Christ. However, the glorious Church though engage in constant combatant spiritual warfare, is also a triumphant Church. Each warfare and battle engagement helps to refine, refresh, energise,  rejuvenate and renew this blessed Church; hence, the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, pervert and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a VICTIM and PREY instead of being the VICTOR, MORE THAN CONQUERORS, TRIUMPHANT and OVERCOMER.

Therefore, if I may say today – if it’s okay for me to ask you – What kind of CHURCH do you THINK you are you today? Are you the dirty stained hand, weakened, blemished and FEAFUL-HALLELUJAH acclaimed believer or a clean hand, gracious, graceful, glorious and triumphant Soldier of Christ? What are you taking hold on in the midst of a broken society, confused and destabilised world, faint-hearted and dissatisfied community filled with wickedness; and evil, hatred, war and pandemic crushed nations and more. You are a spiritual Soldier of Christ. It’s our time to arise, be willing to volunteer with ease, to be a part of the needed change and difference for the good of our broken societal families, communities, nations and the world at large.

I pray you step up to who YOU ARE in God’s BLESSEDNESS – as the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS CHURCH – who INDEED is the SOLDIER OF CHRIST – knowingly and unknowingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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” Ephesians 5:25-27.

“The RIGHTEOUS also shall hold on his way, and he that hath CLEAN HANDS shall be STRONGER and STRONGER” Job 17:9.

“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. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits. 7 Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” 2 Timothy 2:1-6.

“Thou art my BATTLE AXE and WEAPONS of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms . . .” Jeremiah 51:20-23.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, UNTIL I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY FOOTSTOOL. 2 The Lord shall send THE ROD OF THY STRENGTH OUT OF ZION: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 THY PEOPLE SHALL BE WILLING 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 110:1-3

“It is true that I am an ordinary, weak human being, but I don’t use human plans and methods to win my battles. 4 I use God’s MIGHTY WEAPONS, not those made by men, to knock down the devil’s strongholds. 5 These WEAPONS can break down every proud argument against God and every wall that can be built to keep men from finding Him. With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

The TRIUMPHANT And GLORIOUS CHURCH

The TRIUMPHANT And GLORIOUS CHURCH: Our Saviour And Lord Jesus Christ – Is The COMPLETE Shepherd – You Can Count And Account On Him – 24/7 Timeless Time!

It’s awesome, gracious and graceful to know that the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD and PERSONAL SHEPHERD of the TRIUMPHANT and GLORIOUS Church is Jesus Christ – who is our Saviour King and Lord of All.

The Holy Scriptures enjoined that He is to us – THE CHURCH – as individual and collective body:

*** The CHIEF Shepherd – 1 Peter 5:4.

“And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away”

*** The GREAT Shepherd – Hebrews 13:20-21.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen”

*** The GOOD Shepherd – John 10:11, 14.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep . . .14 I am the GOOD SHEPHERD, and know my sheep, and am known of mine”

*** My PERSONAL Shepherd – Psalms 23

“The Lord is MY SHEPHERD; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever” Psalms 23:1-6.

When you can comprehend this, there is no need to worry, live in fear and despondent because He’s ever faithful to who and what He is as our CHIEF, GREAT and GOOD SHEPHERD.

I pray that the BLESSEDNESS of having the CHIEF, GREAT, GOOD AND PERSONAL SHEPHERD over you, should keep your heads up, shoulder high and heels high; more so, the mandate to triumph over all your infirmities, limitations and CIRCUMSTANCES in your day to day in LIFE and GODLINESS.

“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 . . . 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:1-2, 8.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN HIM” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH: The Heavenly Mandate –  That’s Only Possible By Humility!

The CITY CHURCH and DESERT CHURCHES are not numbers, but people of God’s CREATION that WORTH every resources of the heavenly. Sometimes in the CAUSE of OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate, our absolute dedication and commitment to excellence in Kingdom services are tested to justify our ESSENCE – motives, in the services of God. And you ability to RESPOND and not REACT indicates the assurance and faithfulness TOWARD God’s mandate upon you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

There are people today, who when they are relocated from their CITY CHURCH of glamour and multitudes, to a more less, the DESERT CHURCH of no glamour and multitudes, they will swiftly resign from the services of such creation. They may either kick start theirs as a way of rebel and not of necessity, and or react by complaining and murmuring throughout their time frame away from their CITY CHURCH glamour and multitude, while at the DESERT CHURCH – (Philippians 1:15-18). You see this also in MATTERS of life when there is shift in life position and placement, to a very different places outside our comfort zone. Some people  may live through such moment, by cursing and attributing it to witch-hunts; and doing some legislative session gang ups to win support and to authenticate their spirituality in ensuring they stay in a particular spot all through life without being innovative and creative, to help them initiate and explore beyond walls.

God is the only one who determines time and season with His own – Acts 17:24-31. And He’s not subject to any human factors of any sorts. In His intent to process and prune us, so that we become more effectual, productive and result oriented, CHANGE is a NECESSITY, so that we fulfill His PURPOSE and ESSENCE – 1 Corinthians 9:15-17; He may sometimes and most times, shift our place for His Kingdom advancement and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (John 15:1-16). If you don’t know and understand what it means to be obedient in the heavenly mandate, you will be fighting and wrestling with God and man, thinking someone else is undoubtedly undoing you in order to bring you down and rob you of who you’ve claimed you are called of God to be.

But if you want to eat the good of the Kingdom, you must humble yourself in OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE shift as Evangelist Philip did. He, in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE and CAUSES, RESPONDED instead of REACTING to the ministerial shift, from a glamour and  joyful SAMARIA CITY CHURCH to a lone one member Ethiopian man DESERT CHURCH. Only eternity can and would explain the implications of that mission to the DESERT CHURCH from the CITY CHURCH. Can you do that TODAY? Can you respond and say – YES LORD, to that next shift in your life and or Ministry? Can you afford to change job or allowed to be transferred to a less glamour place to work and do life? Have you ever question while God has PLACED you in certain places that naturally you would not wish or want to be? Have you come to terms with your life with God, that wherever He leads, you are willing to be OBEDIENT and say – YES LORD, and follow? These and such like you need to THINK wisely about, before you can WORTH saying yes to: “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE” as Evangelist Philip of Acts 8.

God is raising an ARMY today that will take the GOSPEL beyond walls of denomination and land. He’s not just raising people only into the MINISTERIAL calls but into SECULAR and CIVIC duties. And it may not likely be in the place of your CHOICE sometimes. It’s essence is that through your profession you can MAKE the Gospel to the reach of all – from the CITY to the DESERT. You are that CHURCH, that God is raising. Not the denomination or cathedral architectural building. The DESERT CHURCH is that Local and Community assembly near you, that VILLAGE and DEPRAVED PLACE that your presence is a goldmine missionary to the people there. You don’t have to be Only in Ministerial outfits to OBEY the heavenly mandate. Your skill and talent availability is all God need to pour His ability through to make it become. It’s about becoming the MISSIONARY to meet the MISSION need in you can envision as Apostle Paul forsee – Acts 16:8-10

“And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a VISION appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, COME OVER into Macedonia, and HELP US. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to PREACH THE GOSPEL unto them”

I pray that you take time to examine your life very closely, in order to ensure you know and understand God’s intent for you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; this important, gracious and graceful for your well-being, before you start legislating Spirituality in ignorance, through some unwarranted and uninformed PRAYERS.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I WAS NOT DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY VISION: 20 but shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance” Acts 26:19-20

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall SPEND their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the land” Isaiah 1:19.

“You will SHOW me the PATH OF LIFE; In Your PRESENCE is FULLNESS of joy; In Your RIGHT HAND (RIGHTEOUSNESS) there are PLEASURES forevermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).

“HUMBLE yourselves in the SIGHT of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:10.

“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY: for God RESISTETH the proud, and GIVETH grace to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” 1 Peter 5:5-7.

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . .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 . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and GO TOWARD THE SOUTH unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, A MAN OF ETHIOPIA, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, AND HAD COME TO JERUSALEM FOR TO WORSHIP . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust”  Psalms 72:9.

“But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16 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 9:15-17.

PRAY FOR YOUR CHURCH MINISTERS: It Will Enhance & Advance The Kingdom Causes Of Our God – And To Keep The Enemy And Cohorts At Bay – And Bring Forth Healing & Health To Society/Community!

We are in the ‘Last Days’ and it’s a high time to  take the wheat from the chaff!

Are you a Christian? If Yes, Great! Do you belong to a Church, and a committed member indeed. That’s Marvellous!! It’s high time to PRAY more for your local Church Pastor and leadership team, and talk less of your Church problems.

Your prayers there can do more to advance the kingdom of God, keep the enemy at bay and gives healing and health to the Church, society and community at large; than mere talking of the problems surrounding your church and society with no offering of any tangible answers and headway forwards.

PRAYING For Your PASTORAL MINISTER’S Is  Your  Highest SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITY To Engage With Him/Her To ADVANCE The KINGDOM Of God And To Keep The ENEMY And COHORTS At BAY!

 

Know full well that Civil leaders may try, but if the Church can’t change society for good, no one can, because it is righteousness that exalts a NATION/COMMUNITY/SOCIETY – Proverbs 14:34. That is the truth of the Scriptures. And with falsehoods finding its way into the Church as wolves in sheep clothings, there’s the need to wake up from sleep and slumbering mood.

LOTS OF COUNTLESS TALKS ABOUT THE MOSES, BUT WHERE ARE THE KIND OF AARON AND HUR TO HELP ADVANCE THE KINGDOM CAUSES OF OUR GOD AND TO KEEP THE ENEMY AND COHORTS AT BAY – Exodus 17:8-16.

Christ is building His Church, you can be a part of it through prayers than being a sideline talker. The kingdom demand GOD’S GRACE today than ever before to heal humanity and society. JUST PRAY, THE MORE! And God Will surely HEAL the land. Amen.

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH: HE GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS TO MEN!

Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually as found but not limited in the scriptures of Ephesians 4:7-16. These MINISTERIAL GIFTS are: APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS and TEACHERS and such likes as may be found in the Holy Writ.

I want you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND for sure that he didn’t give his MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEGISLATE spirituality to his Church in Christ Jesus stead. For he has GIVEN the HOLY SPIRIT to help His Church to ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE His WORD that comes by the GIVEN ministerial gifts in His love. Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5. Hence, none should be CONFUSED or LORD over in any form of legislation in the name of spirituality in Christ Jesus, which leads to BONDAGES, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS, MAKE-BELIEVE and FALSEHOODS DOCTRINES that becomes a will-worship Traditions making the WORD of God of no effects. Colossians 2:1-23; Mark 7:7-9; Matthew 15:5-9.

In COURSE and CAUSE of our PASSOVER, our Saviour-King and Lord – Jesus Christ, did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for us in His REDEMPTION DEED, He also GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to us, to enhance and enable the building up to maturity and perfection of His Church, in fulfilment to God’s eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS.

For in Christ Jesus we ARE REDEEMED, we ARE BEING REDEEMED and we SHALL BE REDEEMED. It thus indicates the essence of us being GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS to help us live meaningfully, purposefully And fulfilling as His Church to display His glory and wisdom on Earth.

Hence the need to know full well that when Jesus led captivity captive, He did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for men but He also GAVE GIFTS to men to fulfill Father God’s intent for His people in order for them to walk in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Him and to be secured from falsehood, adulteration, alteration and ignorance that the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in Christ Jesus will Pose. Meaning the GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS was and is to EQUIP HIS CHURCH. Anything contrary is not just BONDAGE but FALSEHOOD and MAN-MADE MAKE BELIEVE leading to HELL. Hence I love this AUTHOR UNKNOWN publication writ, which reads:

“BUILDING the CHURCH merely on MIRACLES makes the Church a SUPERMARKET: people come and shop for their miracles and leave”

If you BUILD the CHURCH merely on HEALING you make the Church a HOSPITAL: People come to be HEALED and leave”

And if you BUILD the CHURCH merely on the PROPHETIC, you make the Church a PSYCHIC and DIVINATION CENTRE: People come to be READ and leave”

BUT if you BUILD the Church PURELY as A WORD BASED CHURCH, every other thing people seek naturally just happens”

Hence, I would commend us to Apostle Paul counsel in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the Scriptures 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.

Dear friend, know for sure that Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to FEED God’s people with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, thereby to EDIFY,  PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually. So if you must go to a place of fellowship and worship, ENSURE your total well being in Christ is going to such in place or platform as found in the scriptures as written:

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

To authenticate the Church position, God EQUIP His CHURCH by giving MINISTERIAL GIFTS to MEN; this is in order to ensure and assure of the wholeness of our Blessed REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 5:5.

“Now he which STABLISHETH us with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED us, is God; 22 who hath also Sealed us, and GIVEN the earnest of the Spirit in our HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.

“Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath GIVEN unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit” 2 Corinthians 5:5.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT man, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO and FRO, and carried about with EVERY WIND of DOCTRINE, by the SLEIGHT of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to DECEIVE; 15 but SPEAKING the TRUTH in LOVE, may GROW UP into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:7-16.

THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services: The Need To ABOUND And ABASED In Changing Times!

If we as a Church must be strenghtened, gracious and graceful in grace to keep on keeping on in our changing world by various factors that may come or show up as the current pandemic – we must learn from Apostle Paul to ABOUND and ABASED in everyway. Delivering this generation unto our God is only going to be effective and result oriented as we awake from set Man-Made dogmas and traditional made-up by-ways and static creeds. It’s time for the character check, a dynamic and charismatic acts of doing life with our generation in the new. For we can’t be ignorance of the devices and schemes of the enemy and cohorts in our time (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Acts 17:30-31).

I read a book many many years ago entitled “WHERE WAS THE CHURCH WHEN THE YOUTH EXPLODED’. The Church was sleeping then and took the youth of that generation for granted in not adapting to their changes of time to win them for the Lord. That generation gap created a vacuum that made many once thriving Church Worship Centres to become a deserted places, swimming pools, accomodation centres/hotels, dancing boardrooms and many such likes. In fact I saw in my visit to a particular country one turn into brothel and dance floor cum clubhouses. And so many in their dilapidated state over time.

It’s true that the Building may not be the Church as in the above paragraph cases, but it was and is a relevant gathering place to grow the Churches over the years overtime. But for failure of the Churches then not creating, adapting, innovating and initiating avenues to know and understand their upcoming youth dimensions of travel, they lost a huge generation. The impact and effect has NEVER been recovered over the years.

It’s very imperative that the Churches today wakes up before the enemy sow tares that will corrupt and degrade the Church to a place of irrelevance and from being the ANSWER to the generational changes of today’s world. We must, I say must, DELIVER THIS GENERATION of ours to God from the clutches and deception of Satan and Cohorts.

If we must set the lawful captives free and deliver this generation unto our God, we must be awake and not be sleeping in the midst of the changing times to every phase of our doing life and living godly.

It’s time to ABOUND and ABASED, ABASED and ABOUND in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL” Ephesians 3:13-16.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKENED UNTO A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 but WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

“SHALL THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MIGHTY, OR THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If I SHUT up heaven that there be NO rain, or if I command the locusts to DEVOUR the land, or if I SEND pestilence among my people; 14 if MY PEOPLE, which are called by my name, shall HUMBLE themselves, and PRAY, and SEEK my face, and TURN from their WICKED ways; then will I HEAR from heaven, and will FORGIVE their sin, and will HEAL their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears ATTENT unto the prayer that is made in this place” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15.

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH: HE GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS TO MEN!

Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually as found but not limited in the scriptures of Ephesians 4:7-16. These MINISTERIAL GIFTS are: APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS and TEACHERS and such likes as may be found in the Holy Writ.

I want you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND for sure that he didn’t give his MINISTERIAL GIFTS to LEGISLATE spirituality to his Church in Christ Jesus stead. For he has GIVEN the HOLY SPIRIT to help His Church to ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE His WORD that comes by the GIVEN ministerial gifts in His love. Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5. Hence, none should be CONFUSED or LORD over in any form of legislation in the name of spirituality in Christ Jesus, which leads to BONDAGES, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS, MAKE-BELIEVE and FALSEHOODS DOCTRINES that becomes a will-worship Traditions making the WORD of God of no effects. Colossians 2:1-23; Mark 7:7-9; Matthew 15:5-9.

In COURSE and CAUSE of our PASSOVER, our Saviour-King and Lord – Jesus Christ, did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for us in His REDEMPTION DEED, He also GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to us, to enhance and enable the building up to maturity and perfection of His Church, in fulfilment to God’s eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS.

For in Christ Jesus we ARE REDEEMED, we ARE BEING REDEEMED and we SHALL BE REDEEMED. It thus indicates the essence of us being GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS to help us live meaningfully, purposefully And fulfilling as His Church to display His glory and wisdom on Earth.

Hence the need to know full well that when Jesus led captivity captive, He did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for men but He also GAVE GIFTS to men to fulfill Father God’s intent for His people in order for them to walk in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Him and to be secured from falsehood, adulteration, alteration and ignorance that the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in Christ Jesus will Pose. Meaning the GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS was and is to EQUIP HIS CHURCH. Anything contrary is not just BONDAGE but FALSEHOOD and MAN-MADE MAKE BELIEVE leading to HELL. Hence I love this AUTHOR UNKNOWN publication writ, which reads:

“BUILDING the CHURCH merely on MIRACLES makes the Church a SUPERMARKET: people come and shop for their miracles and leave”

If you BUILD the CHURCH merely on HEALING you make the Church a HOSPITAL: People come to be HEALED and leave “And if you BUILD the CHURCH merely on the PROPHETIC, you make the Church a PSYCHIC and DIVINATION CENTRE: People come to be READ and leave” BUT if you BUILD the Church PURELY as A WORD BASED CHURCH, every other thing people seek naturally just happens”

Hence, I would commend us to Apostle Paul counsel in the graciousnesss and gracefulness of the Scriptures 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.

Dear friend, know for sure that Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to FEED God’s people with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, thereby to EDIFY,  PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually. So if you must go to a place of fellowship and worship, ENSURE your total well being in Christ is going to such in place or platform as found in the scriptures as written:

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

To authenticate the Church position, God EQUIP His CHURCH by giving MINISTERIAL GIFTS to MEN; this is in order to ensure and assure of the wholeness of our Blessed REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 5:5.

“Now he which STABLISHETH us with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED us, is God; 22 who hath also Sealed us, and GIVEN the earnest of the Spirit in our HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.

“Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath GIVEN unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit” 2 Corinthians 5:5.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT man, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO and FRO, and carried about with EVERY WIND of DOCTRINE, by the SLEIGHT of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to DECEIVE; 15 but SPEAKING the TRUTH in LOVE, may GROW UP into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:7-16.

The GLORIOUS Church Of Christ Jesus

By Leave a Comment

The GLORIOUS Church Of Christ Jesus: The Church Is Strong, Glorious, Militant And Triumphant!

The Church of Christ is engaged constantly and continuously in spiritual warfare. And everyone born of God’s nature in Christ Jesus, needs to know it and be readily engaged in this spiritual battle that has physical effect in our world with resultant challenges to individual life’s, family homes, communities, nations and more. And you are that Church, and you are STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT and TRIUMPHANT.

“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 . . .” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

“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.

However, the glorious Church though engage in constant militant spiritual warfare, is also a triumphant Church. Each warfare and battle refines, refreshes, energizes and renews the Church; hence the Church is glorious, because its beauty is awesome despite satanic and cohorts efforts to fake, duplicate, adulterate, dilute and counterfeit this glorious attributes.

Therefore, get engaged and don’t watch from the sidelines or grandstand else you become a victim rather than a victor. You are a VICTOR, WINNER, OVERCOMER and MORE THAN CONQUERORS anyday and anyway and anywhere as long as you know and understand that you are equipped as being born of God and filled with His Spirit to get engaged with this battles within and without. For the GREATER one lives in you 24/7 to keep you STRONG and STRENGHTEN in His BLESSEDNESS as His Ambassador. And much more, the KNOWING that your STRENGHT is in the Lord and not in yourself, makes the battle WON before and ahead of the start.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS, to be STRONG, GLORIOUS, MILITANT AND TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the GATES of hell shall not PREVAIL against it” Matthew 16:18.

“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself a GLORIOUS CHURCH, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself” Ephesians 5:24-28.

“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.

With these weapons I can capture rebels and bring them back to God and change them into men whose hearts’ desire is obedience to Christ. 6 I will use these weapons against every rebel who remains after I have first used them on you yourselves and you surrender to Christ” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 (LB).

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

THE CHURCH THAT I KNOW THAT CHRIST JESUS DIED TO RAISED AND HE’S COMING BACK TO TAKE

By Leave a Comment

THE CHURCH THAT I KNOW THAT CHRIST JESUS DIED TO RAISED AND HE’S COMING BACK TO TAKE: IS BOUNDLESS IN HIS LOVE!

The Church that I know that Christ DIED to RAISED and He’s coming back to take, it’s the Church – WITHOUT WALLS. And it’s embodiment entails ONENESS in all things besides the constituent and diverse members. It’s the Church were greed and selfishness have no place; it’s the Church where segregation by race, colour and tongue have no place but are welcome, beautified and celebrated. It’s the Church without self-centredness but mirrored in the ONENESS of the *WE* and not the *I* and *THEM*.

This ONENESS is unique in this BLESSEDNESS:

** One Body

** One Faith

** One Lord

** One God

** One people

** One Nation

** One Body

** One Hope

** One Love

** One Calling

** One Baptism

** One REDEMPTION For ALL

** One Spirit

** One Christ

** One Father

** Father God Above All

** Father God Through All

** And Father God In All

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“There is ONE body, and ONE Spirit, even as ye are called in ONE hope of your calling; 5 ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, 6 ONE God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” Ephesians 4:4-6.

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

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

“Therefore become IMITATORS of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father]; 2 and WALK CONTINUALLY IN LOVE [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also LOVED you and GAVE Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance” Ephesians 5:1-2 (Amplified).
