COLOUR YOUR LIFE IN BEAUTY WITH SPIRITUAL FRUIT: YOUR CHARACTER IS THE SUSTAINABILITY FOR YOUR CHARISMA AND CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT!

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability to attract, charm, and influence the people around you for a given cause – Plans, Purposes and Pursuits. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it. The term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS.

It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life endowment is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE, COUNTERFEIT, FAKE, MAN-MADE and SELF-GRATIFICATIONS in every respect of manifestation and operations.

CHARACTER – THE RESILIENT TEMPER CHARACTER – is define and applies to the aggregate of moral qualities by which a person is examined and judged apart from intelligence, competence, or special talents. Strength of character personality applies to an aggregate of qualities that distinguish one as a person mentally and morality.

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC ENDOWMENT or CHARISMA of doing life and living godly, which is as a results of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace and life, by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us. Romans 5:5. This SPIRITUAL FRUIT that formulate ones character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic endowment, are but not limited to these in Galatians 5:22-23 and 2 Peter 1:5-11 and Philippians 4:8 and Romans 12:9-21 etc.

** Love (Charitable)

** Joy

** Peace

** Longsuffering (Endurance)

** Gentleness

** Goodness (Virtue)

** Faith (Faithfulness)

** Meekness

** Temperance (Self Control)

** Patience

** Brotherly Kindness

** godliness

** Honesty

** Purity

** . . . And such like – faithfulness, truth, reverential fear of God and more highlights in various places in the scriptures . . .

If these things – SPIRITUAL FRUIT (CHARACTER) – abound more and more, one can be able to live and sustain in grace one’s CHARISMA placements in life, without making excuses or explaining reasons to any, just as Jesus did in humanity – 1 Peter 2:21-25.

You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness. Make your CHARISMA sustainable with an unquestionable CHARACTER. CHARISMA is good and great and it takes you to heights in any field and endeavour in life when in operative. It helps to evolve your uniqueness in life from others. But only your CHARACTER, makes and keeps you in your THERE after all.

Your CHARACTER – is the sustainability of your CHARISMA and CHARISMATIC endowment.

RESENTMENT

By Leave a Comment

RESENTMENT – The Beautiful And Colourful Lesson Learnt From My Wife: To LOVE And PRAY For Those Whom – You Tend To RESENT And Who RESENT You!

RESENTMENT is BITTER INDIGNATION at having been TREATED UNFAIRLY; and a mixture of Disappointment, Anger, Wrath and Fear. It comprises the three basic emotions of DISGUST, SADNESS and SURPRISE – the PERCEPTION of INJUSTICE.

If you must live COLOURFUL, FREE, PEACEFUL and ENJOY the FULNESS of Christ REDEMPTION for you, you must CULTIVATE the acts to LOVE and PRAY for the one you tend to RESENT and the one who is RESENTING you. It is the gracious, beautiful, and colourful lesson heard and learnt from my wife years ago to deal with human DIFFERENCE and INDIFFERENCE. And it CERTAINLY has worked and keep working for all who have been COUNSELLED along it, in dealing with various matters of life in human relationships: Family, Spouses, Friends, Workplace Colleagues, Leadership, Gospel Ministry and such like.

I can boldly affirm that it works because Christ Jesus on one of His SERMON ON THE MOUNT TEACHINGS made similar statements to us of LOVING, RELATING and PRAYING for our ENEMIES and those who DESPITEFULLY mistreat us in every respect of doing life and godly living. Matthew 5:38-48.

The best way to OVERCOME and TRIUMPH in beauty and colour over RESENTMENT is to LOVE and PRAY for the one you ARE RESENTING or RESENTING you. For you can’t be ABLE to RESENT the PERSON you LOVE and are PRAYING for, while at same time you BELIEVE and EXPECT God to ANSWER such PRAYERS of yours, except you are making a mockery of yourself; and in the same similarity, you will ALWAYS RESENT the PERSON you DON’T see the NEED to PRAY for, much else to LOVE as the Scriptures do requires put a demand on us to do, in order to be the God’s genuine DISCIPLE, in Christ Jesus stead. John 13:34-35; John 15:12-14.

Therefore, SET YOURSELF FREE WITH LOVE AND PRAYER – It’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT. Give it a goal to do today, you will witness peace and joy indescribable and incomprehensible, both for yourself and for the good of all, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 5:5-11.

Set yourself FREE with LOVE and PRAYER – it’s the ANTIDOTE to RESENTMENT, at least for your own innermost peace and quietness. Give it a goal today you will witness peace and joy indescribable for yourself. I pray you know and understand that LOVE and PRAYERS will work for you to deal with RESENTMENT today and always.

And BLESSED regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS as you BEGIN to enjoy the needed and resultant PEACE born for acting DIFFERENCE instead of INDIFFERENCE from the norm – “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” – the golden rule.

“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. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 BUT GOD COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US. 9 Much more then, being now JUSTIFIED by his blood, we shall be SAVED FROM WRATH through him. 10 For if, when we were ENEMIES, we were RECONCILED to God by the death of his Son, much more, BEING RECONCILED, we shall be SAVED BY HIS LIFE. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now RECEIVED the atonement” Romans 5:5-11.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, and HATE THINE ENEMY. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE your ENEMIES, BLESS them that CURSE you, do GOOD to them that HATE you, and PRAY for them which DESPITEFULLY use you, and PERSECUTE you; 45 that ye may be the CHILDREN of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye LOVE them which LOVE you, what REWARD have ye? do not even the PUBLICANS the same? 47 And if ye SALUTE your BRETHREN only, what do ye more than others? do not even the PUBLICANS so? 48 Be ye therefore PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature), even as your Father which is in heaven is PERFECT (Complete, Whole, Mature)” Matthew 5:43-47 (Emphasis Mine).

“If thine ENEMY be HUNGRY, GIVE him bread to EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, GIVE him water to DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE not yourselves, but rather GIVE place unto WRATH: for it is written, VENGEANCE is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if thine ENEMY hunger, FEED him; if he THIRST, GIVE him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be not OVERCOME of evil, but OVERCOME evil with good” Romans 12:19-21.

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 for the WRATH of man WORKETH not the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God” James 1:19-20.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES to be at peace with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God MUST believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

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

AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD

AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD: THE HOLY SPIRIT SPOKE – LET HIM SPEAK TO YOU TODAY – AND EVEN NOW!

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them . . .” Acts 13:1-12.

You can hear the VOICE of the Holy Spirit today if you let Him. He does SPEAKS and I know that for SURE and CERTAINTY. Will you let Him SPEAK to you TODAY and even NOW?

It’s a high time individual BELIEVER’S in Christ develop the more subconscious ATTITUDE of MINISTERING TO the LORD rather than MINISTERING FOR the LORD, so that they can HEAR the SPEAKING VOICE of the HOLY SPIRIT. It’s upon being WITH THE LORD firstly that He EMPOWERS you to go FORTH and DO His Kingdom mandate in grace and speed unhindered.

Don’t be so madly and crazy about getting God’s POWER as some are, compared to having a strong desire to be with Him in LIFE and GRACE. POWER are for PURPOSE, and PURPOSE can serves a good KINGDOM CAUSE in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus when known and understood. And can only be made known and understood, through the communion – FELLOWSHIP – with Him to get the needed INSTRUCTIONS not ADVICE to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with Him; and to help know and understand His PRINCIPLE act for your RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for the given cause. For ABUSIVENESS in anything is a result of the limited knowledge and understanding, born from assumption in ignorance of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT.

The early or first Disciples who became Apostles and pioneers of the Faith where firstly and primarily called to BE WITH THE LORD, so that the LORD WILL BE FOR THEM, in EMPOWERING them as He sent them FORTH for the GOSPEL with commission mandate for the mission – Mark 3:13-19.

Don’t go hastening FOR the LORD’S Kingdom mandate; instead go MINISTERING TO the LORD in person and He will in turn BE with you in all Plans, Purpose and Pursuits. Psalms 16:11.

This is how to win your day for good in Ministry, Marital relationship, Any other Relationship, Business, Career, Education, Entrepreneurship, Conflicts Resolution and such likes.

It’s time to develop the heartfelt love that MINISTERS to the LORD always. For in His PRESENCE is the fullness of joy and life for evermore. DO YOURSELF A GOOD FAVOUR IN MAKING A NEW START TODAY – Psalms 16:11.

“Thou wilt SHEW ME THE PATH OF LIFE:in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; at THY RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for evermore” Psalms 16:11

“Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 AS THEY MINISTERED TO THE LORD, and fasted, THE HOLY GHOST SAID, Separate me Barnabas and Saul FOR THE WORK whereunto I have CALLED them. 3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. 4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister. 6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus: 7 which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith. 9 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 10 and said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord? 11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand. 12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord” Acts 13:1-12.

“He went up on the hillside and CALLED those whom He Himself wanted and chose; and they came to Him. 14 And He appointed twelve [disciples], so that they WOULD BE WITH HIM [for instruction] and so that He COULD SEND THEM out to PREACH [the gospel as apostles—that is, as His special messengers, personally chosen representatives], 15 and to have AUTHORITY AND POWER to cast out demons. 16 He appointed the twelve: Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter), 17 and James, the son of [b]Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”); 18 and [He also appointed] Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew (Nathanael), and Matthew (Levi the tax collector), and Thomas, and [c]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas the son of James), and Simon the Zealot; 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him” Mark 3:13-19 Amplified.

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE

EXPRESSING LIFE BY LOVE: THE GREATEST, MORE AND MOST EXCELLENT WAY!

What an awesome BLESSEDNESS, hearing Jesus say – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – meaning GO expressing LIFE through the EYES of LOVE AND CARE even when you are too busy, if you are to be my Disciple. In other words – DON’T BE SO HEAVENLY MINDED/MINDFUL and of NO EARTHLY GOOD – that’s the message to ALL in Luke 10:25-37 of the good Samaritan.

  1. The PRIEST (Leadership)

2  The LEVITES (Leadership Associate/Assistants)

  1. And YOU (In Any Capacity/Position).

Henceforth Jesus was and is endorsing the need of the hour and moment for all times, of LOVING BEYOND BOUNDARIES – Creed, Colour, Tradition, Denomination, Culture, Believe/Faith, Nations and more. For ALL humans are God’s irrespective of colour and looks and believe. (Acts 17:24-28; Galatians 3:26-29; Galatians 5:6, 13; Galatians 6:14-15/2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 10:11-13; John 13:34-35; John 15:13-14; 1 John 3-5:3)

Therefore – GO AND DO LIKEWISE – Jesus said to ALL. Do this by expressing LIFE through LOVE and CARE even when you are too busy.

BE BLESSED IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“But covet EARNESTLY THE BEST GIFTS: and yet shew I unto you A MORE EXCELLENT WAY . .  “ 1 Corinthians 12:31 – 1 Corinthians 13.

“And, behold, a certain LAWYER stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, WHAT SHALL I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?  26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how READEST thou?  27 And he answering said, Thou shalt LOVE the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy NEIGHBOUR as thyself.  28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE. 29 But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, AND WHO IS MY NEIGHBOUR?  30 And Jesus answering said, A CERTAIN MAN went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, AND FELL AMONG THIEVES, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him HALF DEAD.  31 And by chance there came down a CERTAIN PRIEST that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.  32 And likewise A LEVITE, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.  33 But a CERTAIN SAMARITAN, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had COMPASSION on him,  34 and went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.  35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, TAKE CARE OF HIM; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.  36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was NEIGHBOUR unto him that fell among the thieves?  37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, GO, AND DO THOU LIKEWISE” Luke 10:25-37.

“The God who CREATED the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; 25 nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, because it is He who gives to ALL [people] LIFE and BREATH and ALL THINGS. 26 And He MADE from one man every nation of mankind to live on the face of the earth, having DETERMINED their appointed TIMES and the BOUNDARIES of their LANDS and TERRITORIES. 27 This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. 28 FOR IN HIM WE LIVE and MOVE and EXIST [that is, in Him we actually HAVE OUR BEING], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘FOR WE ALSO ARE HIS CHILDREN” Acts 17:24-28 Amplified.

THINK TANK – ON MONTH OCTOBER – THE NUMBER 10 MONTH

By Leave a Comment

THINK TANK – ON MONTH OCTOBER – THE NUMBER 10 MONTH: What’s Special About The Number Ten (10) – The Tenth Month OCTOBER!

Month OCTOBER is the Tenth (10) number Month of the Julian and Gregorian Calendars. What then is so special about the Month that may WORTH pondering and considering into life matters. I say this because I have seen posts and statements of some indicating DOOM and GLOOM in the name of “MBER” month, upon the month OCTOBER and some are even to the year; I sense all these are probably because of the event that has happened to these individuals or people personally or the general feeling of the pandemic at the moment.

However, herein are some few thoughts (not mine) that I want you to look into and make a meaningful note for yourself:

  1. What is the significance of the number 10 in the metric system?

In the metric system of measurement, designations of multiples and subdivision of any unit may be arrived at by combining with the name of the unit the prefixes deka, hecto, and kilo meaning, respectively, 10, 100, and 1000, and deci, centi, and milli, meaning, respectively, one-tenth, one-hundredth, and one-thousandth …

  1. What is special about the number 10:

The number 10 (ten) is an even natural number following 9 and preceding 11. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, by far the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written language. The reason for the choice of ten is assumed to be that humans have ten fingers (digits).

  1. What is special about the number 10?

Number 10 is known as a symbol of the authority of God and his government on the Earth. This number can also symbolize responsibility, law and completeness. Actually, number 10 is considered to be the symbol of obedience and responsibility of people towards the God’s law. Remember the Ten Commandments!

  1. What does the number 10 mean in biblical numerology?

Number 10 in Bible is a symbol of perfection, harmony and creation. This number is one of the most powerful and most widely spread, as well as 3, 7 and 12. … It is also a number of integration, discipline, laws and wholeness. The phrase “God said” is repeated 10 times through Genesis.

  1. Does the Bible say give 10 of your income?

A tithe is 10% of your income given specifically to your local church. (Fun fact: The word tithe literally means tenth in Hebrew.) … So, Scripture explains that: (1) tithing is an important part of faith for those who follow God and (2) your tithe should be money you set aside first.

  1. What does number 10 mean in Hebrew?

The number 10 is the gematria of the Hebrew letter י Yodh, or in Jiddisj: ‘Jud’ stands for ‘Jew (word)’ – it’s (therefore) linked to the tetragrammaton. The Ten Commandments (עשרה דיבריא, aseret ha-dibrot, literally “Ten Utterances”) The ten Plagues of Egypt.

These essences above and such like not mentioned, thus indicates that the number 10 and tenth Month October, means your DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are crown of God for your GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. And there’s no room for you to regret at all in any of the Days and or Months and or Years, no matter the event or circumstances that have befallen or that’s before you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

The DAYS, MONTHS and YEARS are God MADE. Psalms 65:11-13; Psalms 118:24; Ecclesiastes 3:11. You should arise in your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead, to BEAUTIFY and lovely COLOUR your WORLDS (person, family, finance, career, relationship and such like) in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus stead. That’s how you BECOME not only THE DIFFERENCE but MAKES THE DIFFERENCE as the NEW CREATION AMBASSADOR of Christ Jesus – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-15.

There are TWELVE months in a year, and God have not only crown the months, but have made each MONTH to be FRUITFUL, that is, to THRIVE and be PRODUCTIVE after its kind for the good of the nations – you and your family are Gods nation He told Abraham. Genesis 12:1-3; Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:1-2.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou CROWNEST THE YEAR WITH THY GOODNESS; AND THY PATHS DROP FATNESS (ABUNDANCE). 12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:12-13 (Emphasis Mine).

“This is THE DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will rejoice and be glad in it” Psalms 118:24.

“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: IT SHALL BRING FORTH NEW FRUIT ACCORDING TO HIS MONTHS, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, AND THE LEAF THEREOF FOR MEDICINE” Ezekiel 47:12.

“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare TWELVE manner of fruits, and YIELDED her fruit EVERY MONTH: and the LEAVES OF THE TREE were for the HEALING OF THE NATIONS” Revelation 22:1-2.

“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE IN ITS TIME. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified.

IT’S A DAWN DAY

IT’S A DAWN DAY: RISING ABOVE COMPLEXITY AND MEDIOCRITY AS YOU STEP INTO YOUR DAWN DAY!

It’s time to exercise your place of DOMINION in Christ Jesus stead; and to RISE ABOVE all forms of complexity and mediocrity that have befallen you in the PATH of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. 2 Timothy 1:6-7 (Amp); Romans 6:14; Luke 10:17-20; Genesis 1:26-28; Romans 5:1-2.

The PATH of COMPLEXITY and MEDIOCRITY are real in life, but there’s a more gracious and graceful PATH for the JUSTIFIED and RIGHTEOUS in Christ Jesus – (Romans 5:1-3, 17-21; Proverbs 4:18; Psalms 16:11). You can only rise above complex and mediocre life status when you live through KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in Christ Jesus stead; that is, in you coming to the place of ACKNOWLEDGING what’s that GOOD done in you in Christ Jesus, that the Father God had GIVEN and EMPOWERED you within, as a default POSSESSION, in all things that pertain to doing LIFE and GODLINESS, even as Jesus did KNEW and then ROSE above it ALL in humanity. Philemon 1:6; 2 Peter 1:3-4; John 14:30.

You need to MAXIMISE your day today through KNOWING and RISING above your Complex and Mediocre path and battle (Ephesians 3:17-19); then GO ENACTING and APPROPRIATING who you are in Christ Jesus stead (1 John 4:4-6), that is, by ENSURING and EXERCISING this KNOWING of who you ARE in Him, in order to enjoy His grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS, for your day is come, as JESUS DID in humanity.

I pray for you in the fullness and revelation of Ephesians 1:15-23, for the BEST of God today, as you maximize your day through KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in you to be ABOVE ONLY. Deuteronomy 28:13.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:3-4.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of EVERY GOOD THING WHICH IS IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the gracious gift of God, [that inner fire—the special endowment] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“FAMILY ALIVE” MARRIAGE WORKSHOP: “THE MARRIAGE COURSE” GATHERING – A REJUVENATING AND REFRESHING WORKSHOP INDEED!

A gracious and graceful gathering along with Rev & Mrs. Emmanuel Ileyesa-Manunga of F.A.I.T.H Mission, UK – ‘THE MARRIAGE COURSE’ – Coordinators, Bristol, United Kingdom.

The main objective for this unique gatherings it’s about rejuvenating, refreshing, reviving, strengthening, beautifying, coloring and keeping alive the CHRISTIAN FAITH MARRIAGE in God’s plan, purpose and pursuit.

Marriage – It’s a place of BLESSEDNESS – Genesis 1:28 (26-28); 1 Peter 3:9 (1-12). You can make it work when God’s PURPOSE is respected and unadulterated by any human factors against His WORD. Don’t Undermine marriage for it’s HONOURABLE in all – Hebrews 13:4-6. Marriage is only ABUSE/ABUSIVE (abnormally Use) when God’s PURPOSE for it is undermined by ignorance, stupidity and foolishness – the lack of INFORMED knowledge and understanding in God’s (the MARRIAGE creator and founder) Terms And Conditions.

Also in attendance like many others at “The Marriage Course” to rejuvenate, refresh and re-energized couple to thrive are my friends  – MR & Mrs. Allen Mwandembe. I just couldn’t help not posting it along among many. Lovely and sweet couple. More, more, more in love. . .

Thank you Rev Emmanuel & Mrs. Rosalie Ileyesa-Manunga for such a brilliant program. Testimonies of family awakening and revitalizing that is coming up that am hearing, it’s so amazing and gracious. Looking forward to working together on more future plans and attendance.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“MARRIAGE IS HONOURABLE IN ALL, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 5 Let your CONVERSATION be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me” Hebrews 13:4-6.

“. . . 28 AND GOD BLESSED THEM, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth” Genesis 1:26-28.

“. . . 7 Likewise, ye husbands, DWELL with them ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE, giving HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as BEING HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; THAT YOUR PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. . .” 1 Peter 3:7-9 (1-12).

“An EXCELLENT woman [one who is SPIRITUAL, CAPABLE, INTELLIGENT, and VIRTUOUS], who is he who can find her? Her VALUE is more PRECIOUS than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls” Proverbs 31:10 Amplified.

“Many a man proclaims his own loyalty and goodness, But who can find a FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY man?” Proverbs 20:6 Amplified.

“Then Adam said, “This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24 For this reason a man shall LEAVE his father and his mother, and shall be JOINED to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed” Genesis 2:23-25 Amplified.

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and shall be joined [and be faithfully devoted] to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh” Ephesians 5:31 Amplified (Matthew 19:5; Mark 10:7).

You are either triumphing by God through His WORD in Christ Jesus stead or by yourself and man-made schemes that are in the world outside divinity. Know for sure and full well that Ignorance of the WORD to your circumstances and situations, will keeps you in series bondages and exposures to fallacy of all sorts and such like.

Give it a go today.

I pray that you find the needed light and illumination to every quest in your life, in Jesus precious name. Amen.

A WORKSHOP INDEED

A WORKSHOP INDEED: A MORE THAN SEMINAR – THE MARRIAGE COURSE!

KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING does not only delivers, emancipates, strengthens, empowers, blossoms, refreshes, rejuvenates and such like, but SAVES a relationship from ignorance, stupidity and foolishness and such like; it also GIVES a relationship a meaningful and purposeful access to God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

RELATIONSHIP turns into ABUSE (ABNORMAL USE) when PURPOSE are misappropriated and misunderstood. Hence, there is the need to continuously give ones relationship to innovation, creativity and exploration, now and always, in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH, BLOSSOM and REJUVENATE, in LIFE and GRACE, thereby fulfilling meaningful purpose. That’s why been static and dormant is unhealthy for any relationship that intends to thrive and not survive in Christ Jesus stead. There’s the need for any desired healthy relationship, to ADD the good of KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING to one’s FAITH, the virtues of GRACIOUSNESSS in order to enhance the marital relationship at all levels and stages. Proverbs 4:7; Philippians 4:8; 2 Peter 1:5-11.

And so it was in another time of REFRESHING, REJUVENATING and COLOURING this matter called MARRIAGE @ “THE MARRIAGE COURSE” for additional knowledge and understanding to enhance the marital BLESSEDNESS. This is done in Courtesy and Partnership with F.A.I.T.H MISSION UK (FAMILY ALIVE INTERNATIONAL TEACHING AND HEALING MISSION, UK) of Rev & Mrs. Emmanuel ILEYESA-MANUNGA.

It was a full day Couple Synergy experience @ the City of Bristol, UK. Running Time: 9:00am – 6:30pm which just ended on September 30.

I hope you will join us in keeping families alive in the next upcoming ‘THE MARRIAGE COURSE’. (I will keep you posted).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things”  Philippians 4:8.

“And beside this, GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADD to your FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if THESE THINGS BE IN YOU, AND ABOUND, they make you that ye shall neither be BARREN nor UNFRUITFUL in the KNOWLEDGE of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS IS BLIND, and cannot SEE afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give DILIGENCE to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:5-11.

DO YOUR LIFE A FAVOUR

DO YOUR LIFE A FAVOUR: “BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH” IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

It’s a high priced time to decorate, color and beautify your worlds (family, career/skills, relationship to God/mankind, leadership, finance, ministry and such like) in the FAITH you STAND in GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2; Titus 3:7.

You are the custodian of your happiness, joy, peace, dignity, honor and more. Stop looking for or pursuing your destiny as you may have being told. You destiny is embedded and endowed in you in Christ as a default when you were saved, called, justified and glorified in fellowship in God in Christ Jesus – (1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30). You don’t have to run after anybody to get it or pursue after it as in the Old Testament reliance on others to reach out to God for your enabling. YOU ARE YOUR DESTINY – it’s a default in you in Christ Jesus stead if you are born of God (John 3:3, 5, 16; 1 Peter 1:22- 24). The scriptures declares you’ve been predestined of God in Christ to succeed, thrive and be happy – (Ephesians 1:3-11; Romans 8:28-30). Meaning you’ve been PREDESTINED to succeed and achieve that excellence, success and goodness that you so madly and crazily desired to have and become in Christ Jesus (John 1:12). Your destiny is the you in you in Christ. Beautify and Color it in Christ in FAITH.

I don’t know what your ‘worlds’ seems to be at this very moment. But one thing I do know is that you can create the atmosphere of the gracious ‘worlds’ you will love to live on daily. You FAITH in God through His WORD and by the working power of the blessed Holy Spirit can make all the difference (Hebrews 11:1-3).

Your intended worlds of excitement and rejuvenation, in respect to joy, peace, love, relationship, marriage, family, finance, career, ministry and more, are embedded and imbedded on and in your FAITH in Christ (Romans 1:16-17; Habakkuk 2:4; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11).

For God makes all things beautiful in His time. You are a part of that beauty. You are fearfully (reverentially) and wonderfully made in God’s image and likeness as the scriptures do record about you and all.

You can DECORATE, FRAME, COLOUR and BEAUTIFY your worlds today with the atmosphere you will really love to do life with. I pray you God’s grace and blessings as you remain steadfast in Faith to color your worlds in Christ. For it’s your time to manifest the fragrance and aroma of grace through the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing DONE in you, DONE FOR you and being DONE THROUGH you in Christ – Philemon 1:6; 2 Corinthians 2:14). You are the reason why the earth was made and created – it’s now time for you to LIVE STRONG and LIVE REJUVENATING. Do your life a favor by beautifying and coloring your ‘WORLDS’ through ACKNOWLEDGED FAITH in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

God SHINES throw His Church – The PERFECTION of His Beauty. You are God’s Church – that He’s building. Therefore, “BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN FAITH” In Christ Jesus Stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. 2 Out of ZION, the PERFECTION of BEAUTY, God hath SHINED” Psalms 50:1-2 (Hebrews 12:22-24).

“He has made everything BEAUTIFUL (Colorful) and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How BEAUTIFUL (Colorful) are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:15.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become effectual by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN CHRIST JESUS” Philemon 6.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our FAITH.  5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God” 1 John 5:4-5.

“Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” Hebrews 11:3.

“Let us hold fast the profession (confession) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” Hebrews 10:23.

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

“That being JUSTIFIED BY HIS GRACE, we should be MADE heirs according to the hope of eternal life” Titus 3:7.

“. . . 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE us ACCEPTED in the beloved . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will”  Ephesians 1:1-11.

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he CALLED, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he JUSTIFIED, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.
