LOVE AT ITS BEST

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.

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: For God’s LOVED World – Is A GIVING World!

God’s LOVED World is an awesome world of LOVE – Don’t be Selfish about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish and greedy.

The LOVED World of God, is made to be liveable, likeable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. Same are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LOVED World – LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE and ENJOYABLE!

God so LOVE, He GAVE! Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and more to the needy one.

It’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it tendeth to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it” Proverbs 11:24-26.

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified).

Dare To BELIEVE And BELONG To BECOME

Dare To BELIEVE And BELONG To BECOME: For No WORD – No FAITH, If You Must FUNCTION To BECOME!

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

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

I make BOLD to say that God is FAITHFUL to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD – (Romans 10:17). Faith in Christ Jesus, is of the WORD. Faith is not a doctrinal or denominational creed and religious dogmas that is just there to be known. It’s the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access and essence with God. Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God – (Hebrews 11:6).

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

I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN

“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.

BEING TRIUMPHANT OVER THE FIVE SENSES

By Leave a Comment

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

Firstly, know that YOU ARE A TRIUMPHANT CHURCH. I meant you and not the architectural building where WORSHIPPERS gather. However, knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 2:14; Colossians 2:15). And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the CONSCIOUSNESS of the  SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the LUSTS and AFFECTIONS of the FLESH which are of the – FIVE SENSES (Galatians 5:16, 24-25); it thus means living in the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads, by the WORD of God, through your human spirit by the auction within you (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7; 1 John 2:20, 27). This is what makes you a spirit or spiritual being. A sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being by the law of the Spirit of life within you – Romans 8:1-17. For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God or with God in the Kingdom to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

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

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

The consequential of living outside the sphere of the Spirit led, is LIVING and WALKING in the FLESH – that is, in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/Hearing

** SEE/Seeing

** TASTE/Tasting

** SMELL/Smelling

** FEEL/Touch FEELING/Touching

Sadly enough – there is EFFECT and there are EFFECTS – of living in the SPHERE of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE.

These FIVE SENSES EFFECTS are these (Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17):

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

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

“And having SPOILED principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, TRIUMPHING over them in it” Colossians 2:15.

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

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

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24

OCCUPY TILL I COME

OCCUPY TILL I COME: Earthly Useful And Heavenly Minded – LIVING & WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God;  and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavours. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour”  Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS,  SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

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.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).

“He that REFUSETH instruction DESPISETH his own soul: but he that HEARETH reproof GETTETH understanding. 33 The FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:32-33 (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.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: GOD’S SALVATION PLAN – The DESERT LAND Awakening Revival Is Come And Coming!

Assuredly and certainly – The DESERT Nations Shall SERVE The Lord God – because the eternal speaking Blood of Jesus Christ, which ATONES for all human Salvation in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS, belongs to them too. God is interested in both the CITY CHURCH as well as the DESERT – VILLAGE – CHURCH. Hence He’s awakening all in these anchor leg toward His coming. God’s SALVATION plan is the same for all in His HEAVENLY MANDATE commission. In advancing the kingdom cause of God and in keeping the enemy at bay, all must be included irrespective of status, colour, race, gender and geographical location.

And I am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES as well as done in the CITY PLACES – for our God is not only the God of JEWS but also of the GENTILES World. And Gentile world means every other beside the Jews. He’s the God of all – for in Him we all LIVE, MOVE and HAVE our being. (Acts 17:24-31; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Romans 10:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Colossians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:21-24; Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:20-21; Galatians 3:25-29).

Be it known that, no matter the confusion in the world today, God has an end plan in it, for the liberation of human life’s without drones, guns and bombs; and it also goes beyond humanitarian aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing  SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see event unfolding day by day.

Be it known also, as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan in His BLESSEDNESS is coming to past. If you believe say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus stead.

The experiences of Evangelist Philip in Acts 8, to be used of God in Samaria to establish a CITY CHURCH of multitudes and later on a DESERT CHURCH of one member, can only be possible with one who is following and in obedience in – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. How many today can make such decisions in their life from the multitudes mandate to a single soul mandate. Hence obeying the heavenly mandate will only be possible by God for the desert places to seek after Him too as in the city places.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“The WILDERNESS and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END come” Matthew 24:14.

“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 1:16-17.

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of HEAVEN and EARTH, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, SEEING HE GIVETH TO ALL LIFE, AND BREATH, AND ALL THINGS; 26 and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 for in him we LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device . . .” Acts 17:24-31.

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith” Romans 3:28-30.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be SAVED” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:25-29.

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND NOR FREE: but Christ is ALL, and in ALL” Colossians 3:10-11.

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:21-24.

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“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 . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 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, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40.
