BEING NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL

BEING 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. Not realising 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 behaviour 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 colours 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 colour 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 behaviour for them to take a stand in Christ Jesus stead in public domain; but will tolerate someone misbehaviour and indecent gesture about them. HOW COMFORTABLE AND COOL IS THAT! That it is okay for you to accommodate indecent behaviour 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 labelled 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 fulfil 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 colour, 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 any thing 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.

Tough Times Never Last For Ever

Tough Times Never Last For Ever: The Tough In Faith Will Keep On Keeping On, Even When All Things Come To A Halt!

“Dear brothers, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy, 3 for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. 4 So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete” James 1:2-4 (Living Bible TLB).

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand such circumstances.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, for tough times never last forever; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER.

Know full well and assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is – an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you are assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“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” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“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.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO A HALT.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing” James 1:2-4 (Amplified).

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH

By Leave a Comment

COMMUNICATING THE TRUTH: IS COMMUNICATING THE WORD – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE!

A mere religious, ceremonious, motivational positive speaking may momentarily make good, be exciting and activates one for a while, but can’t LIBERATE nor give the genuinely in born FREEDOM of the FAITH on ‘THE TRUTH’ that is made only possibly in God’s Word in the human spirit. For you are born of God, it’s needful to COMMUNICATE THE TRUTH – which is THE WORD, now and always, if you want to be scripturally well and whole in LIFE and GODLINESS – GODLY LIVING.

Communication could be verbal or in action, through any formats of reaching out to meet matters of self or others about us. When you communicate THE WORDS of this life as Acts 5:20 suggests, we should do, that is, to speak ‘THE TRUTH’ not just TRUTH. For only ‘THE TRUTH’ known and spoken can SET one FREE and bring forth the LIBERATION, TRIUMPH, VICTORY and such like, that one needs to do and live life effectually and efficiently in Christ Jesus stead.

THE TRUTH, which is THE WORD, is spirit and life; and hence, a life giver and life giving, when communicated in TRUTH, as the Holy Writ does indicates – John 6:63. More so, the Ministering spirits – the Angelic messengers – of our God unto us, only LISTEN or HARKEN to ‘THE VOICE OF THE WORD’ and nothing else, in carrying out their angelic services concerning us and all. They are in the ministering services to listen to the noise and shouting around except the THE WORD that personifies THE TRUTH. So, communicate THE TRUTH, THE WORD if you wants to enjoy the angelic ministry of God in our time as enjoined Scripturally. Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20.

When you communicate THE WORD, which is THE TRUTH, you are communicating JESUS personified. He is THE TRUTH, and He is THE WORD. The article ‘THE’ in the context “THE WORD, THE TRUTH, personified Jesus. And what that means is this – that what Jesus Christ, would have done presently and physically if he was in humanity before you right now, is what THE WORD, THE TRUTH will and would do for you NOW and ALWAYS, as Him present with you. Hebrews 13:8. THINK ABOUT IT.

That’s the reason, when you read the Holy Bible, don’t read it as you would have read any other book, because the Holy Spirit, the author, is ever present, to personified the Scriptures literally for your good in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. You then read the Bible in the FACE of JESUS personified in your inner being to enable you AUTHENTICATE and ENACT the SCRIPTURES, otherwise, you will only be filled with passion, knowledge of ‘THE WORD’ and not having the UNDERSTANDING of the application that brings about the needed ‘THE TRUTH’ to make life simplified. John 1:1-5, 14; 1 John 5:7; John 14:6; John 8:32.

Know full well, that it is only by the “THE TRUTH” one know of “THE WORD” that SETS one FREE; and that also GIVES one the needed LIBERATION from destruction and the HEALINGS in every facets of one’s being in Christ Jesus stead. The TRUTH gives THE LIFE needed to thrive in God in Christ Jesus, gives THE LIGHT to illuminate one from the errors of darkness and the darkness of life; and shows one THE WAY and THE PATH of God in Christ Jesus, to do life and live godly, in order to enjoy the very best and fulness of God. Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18; John 1:1-5.

And the FAITH to overcome the world system comes by THE WORD. Meaning, a no – THE WORD, means a no FAITH, because there’s a no – THE TRUTH, which is needed to communicate to the HEAVENLY for our EARTHLY affairs to be resolved SCRIPTURALLY. Romans 10:17; 1 John 5:3-5. It worth pondering if I were you.

Just know today and always, that – communicating THE TRUTH, is about communicating THE WORD, leading to knowing THE WAY and experiencing THE LIGHT. Hence, there is the NEED to know and understand – ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

YOU SET THE VICTORY

By Leave a Comment

YOU SET THE VICTORY & TRIUMPH STAND IN OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE!

Everyone wants the best of God in all they do and wants to do in life and godly living; but not everyone wants to be obedient to the end as expected of all who WANTS the best out of God and to be fulfilled in all about life and living godly. This I have known and have come to realise in course of time in dealing with many day by day. Some don’t want to share in principle the responsibility and accountability accorded to the CAUSE of them to be fulfilled in God in Christ Jesus stead, but still want to have it all. My dear, obedience is the  main switchboard. That’s what our Saviour and Lord keyed into in humanity, to become the author of eternal salvation toward all who  intend in God to experience FULFILMENT in faithfulness to DIVINENLY driven PURPOSE. Hebrews 5:1-10; Philippians 2:5-11.

I learnt very early in my Christian life that REBELLION to the CAUSE of God is as equivalent to the sinful consequences apportion to one entangled with WITCHCRAFT and even STUBBORNNESS. This was learnt also, when a simple OBEDIENCE expected of King Saul caused him his throne and kingship. And some believer’s have knowingly or unknowingly forgotten that they are MADE of God in REDEMPTION to become royal priesthood – meaning, that kingship civility and priesthood was bestowed upon us in REDEMPTION. While some claim to acknowledge it, yet in OBEDIENCE to the scriptural demands to enable them TRIUMPH and be VICTORIOUS in life and godliness, are always find wanting, by their impatience as found in King Saul to act without minding that the consequences therein are sometimes fatal and irreversible. 1 Samuel 15:22-24; Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

We are engaged daily in a spiritual warfare – knowingly or unknowingly, because the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus, works timelessly to and fro, seeking who he may devour directly or indirectly in the CAUSE of our doing life and living godly. He knows he has a short time to parade around, and needs to recruit many to be a part of his fallen state destination. And one great old tricks attributes he has and have always use and succeed, is to make people disobey the CAUSE of God in their life’s. He tried it with Adam through Eve in Eden and it works. Over the years he has fought heard to ensure many fall shorts of obeying God’s heavenly mandate upon their life’s. DON’T BE A PREY AND VICTIM FOR HIM AGAIN. 1 Timothy 1:18; 1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Peter 5:8-11.

When one turns into using physical process in a set spiritual warfare, you give the ENEMY and COHORTS of your FAITH journey with God, the permission to obstruct your path of obeying the heavenly mandate. Fighting spiritual warfare in the flesh – in the sense instincts of – seeing, hearing, smelling, touching/feeling and tasting, will always allude one from the VICTORY and TRIUMPH earnestly designed of God for His people in everyway and places. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:3-5; Isaiah 54:13-17.

It is in obedience that we find PLEASURE and fulfilment in life. It is there we can partake in the Kingdom goodness that we made to inherit of God. One key principle of OBEDIENCE, is the attitudes of having PATIENCE OF HOPE – 1 Thessalonians 1:3; Hebrews 6:12. When our FAITH is in obedience motion, to God’s heavenly mandate, we need to set PATIENCE with HOPE in the CAUSE of doing life and living godly; otherwise, we will end up like King Saul, for his impatience to wait for Prophet Samuel arrival to carry on the expected according to God’s detailed instructions. When we are in HASTE to become in life, against God’s time scale as King Saul was, we are bound to undermine our DIVINENLY giving instructions to satisfy the FLESHY Demand which works against God’s given instructions. And that’s the danger of many today. Attributing GAIN as GODLINESS. What a wrong concept to measure and legislate spirituality in heavenly mandate of God by GAINS instead of being faithful to fulfil PURPOSE, in OBEYING the God GIVEN cause for our life. Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19; Hebrews 6:10-12; Proverbs 28:19-22; 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

Therefore, know today that you will and can be able to revenge – take charge on any ENEMY and COHORTS territories, WHEN YOUR OBEDIENCE IS ACTIVATED TO FULFIL PURPOSE. For then you can SET THE VICTORY and TRIUMPH STAND, of OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE cause before you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“FOR THOUGH WE WALK IN THE FLESH, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and HAVING IN A READINESS TO REVENGE ALL DISOBEDIENCE, WHEN YOUr OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“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: 20 but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 1:19-20.

“He that TILLETH his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings:but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have respect of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.

“If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in burnt OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE OF THE LORD? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and TO HEARKEN than the fat of rams. 23 For REBELLION is AS the SIN of WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED the word of the Lord, he hath also REJECTED thee from being king. 24 And Saul said unto Samuel, I have sinned: for I have transgressed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words: because I feared the people, and obeyed their voice” 1 Samuel 15:22-24.

“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.

“Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ . . .9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:5, 9-10.

“Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 and declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 by whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name: 6 among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ” Romans 1:3-6.

“And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH” Acts 6:7.

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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

“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.

Dare To Live By God’s POWER And GRACE

Dare To Live By God’s POWER And GRACE: You Will Be Strong & Strengthen – In LIFE & GODLINESS!

God wants you strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. But the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS is you DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of Christ Jesus enabling – POWER and GRACE. It thus turns and made his lack – limitations – into a phase of sufficiency and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strenght. It’s Christ Jesus POWER and GRACE that are the enabling that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are  living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

And considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules – How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly. How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands. How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT. These and many other quest not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1-2.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

LOVE AT ITS BEST

By Leave a Comment

LOVE AT ITS BEST: IT DOES INSTRUCTS AND DISCIPLINES!

You may not like and love this except you genuinely wants God WORD to define you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

For some, LOVE is about been spoken to softly, taken to the mall for shopping, being showed with gifts now and then, taken for holidays, spoilt with every good things or goodies while their short falls in real life failings are never mentioned or told them, which would rather help them amend, brase up, mature and grow; they don’t realised the dangers of not wanting the truth, until they found themselves in the break points of life deceptions, because such LOVE was never MEASURED with the true reality of life – discipline and instructions to righteousness.

Herein are three hard TRUTH in the lots about genuine LOVE one needs to give thoughts towards. There are needful in order to help you, and or your friend, spouse, colleagues and those you love and cares about:

1.*** LOVE with ‘OPEN REBUKES’ helps to SAVE! – Proverbs 27:5-6.

“OPEN REBUKE is better than SECRET love. 6 FAITHFUL are the WOUNDS of a friend; but the KISSES of an ENEMY are deceitful” Proverbs 27:5-6.

  1. *** LOVE That ‘CHASTENS’ helps to AMEND – Hebrews 12:5-11.

“And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the CHASTENING of the Lord, nor faint when thou art REBUKED of him: 6 for WHOM THE LORD LOVETH HE CHASTENETH, AND SCOURGETH EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVETH. 7 If ye endure CHASTENING, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father CHASTENETH not? 8 But if ye be without CHASTISEMENT, whereof all are PARTAKERS, then are ye BASTARDS, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which CORRECTED us, and we gave them REVERENCE: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days CHASTENED us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be PARTAKERS of his holiness. 11 Now no CHASTENING for the present seemeth to be joyous, but GRIEVOUS: nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:5-11.

  1. *** Love that ‘OVERLOOKS/MAKES UP’ and helps to DELIVER from further sins! – 1 Peter 4:8/Proverbs 10:12.

“And above all things have fervent love among yourselves: for love shall COVER (OVERLOOK, MAKES UP) the multitude of sins” 1 Peter 4:8 (Emphasis Mine).

“Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love COVERETH (OVERLOOK) all sins” Proverbs 10:12 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants us to love while we enjoy His love shed and spread abroad in our inner hearts by the Holy Spirit of love. It’s by this love of God we are saved. And God has commended His Love towards us in Christ Jesus to enable us live in Christ Jesus stead by it.

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 . . . 8 But God COMMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.
