SEEK AND TREASURE THE GRACE THAT’S AVAILABLE TO YOU: IT WILL MAKE AND ENHANCE YOUR BECOMING IN CHRIST JESUS!

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

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 AND HE GAVE SOME, APOSTLES; and SOME, PROPHETS; and SOME, EVANGELISTS; and SOME, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (NATURING , MATURING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in THE UNITY of THE FAITH, and of THE KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto THE MEASURE of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING THE TRUTH in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which EVERY JOINT SUPPLIETH, according to the effectual working in THE MEASURE of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:7-16.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!

“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.

What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.

For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:27-21; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-40; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12].

Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.

Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: CHRIST JESUS IS THE POWER OF GOD AND THE WISDOM OF GOD!

“And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore ERR, because ye KNOW NOT THE SCRIPTURES, neither THE POWER OF GOD?” Mark 12:24.

“. . . 24 but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, CHRIST THE POWER OF GOD, and THE WISDOM OF GOD . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

When persons or rather people don’t know the genuine POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus stead, they give into SORCERIES and BEWITCHING. And over the years many have found themselves into such bondages as the Scriptures says in Hosea 4:6 and Isaiah 5:13-15, that my people perish for lack of knowledge and had become prey and captives and have gone further into captivity for lack of knowledge. And I know exactly what it all means.

It’s for this lack of knowledge that a whole city of Samaria in Bible days was held in captivity and BEWITCHED with SORCERIES because a man called Simon and not Christ Jesus, was considered to be the great POWER of God. And multitude became victims and prey to this outrageous acts of SORCERIES and BEWITCHING by a man that held them as PREY and in CAPTIVITY for a very long, long time.

Take a look today and picture, how many have taken similar seating position in many supposed believer’s life by the accordance they give to these fallible men as to have the great POWER of God than to Christ Jesus in the fulness of the activities been carried out about them. And unfortunately, like Simon, these fallible men allowed these applaud of what they are not, to happen and keeping happening because they know that the people are BEWITCHED by their SORCERIES acts knowingly and unknowingly.

It’s for these acts and route of attributing the POWER of God that is of Christ Jesus to men, that cause God to let King Herod to be eaten up with worms when he allowed himself to be consumed by the applaud of men in Acts 12:20-24. That single act of God as happened also to Simon in Acts 8:18-24 with sharp and heavy handed rebuke, for wanting to buy the Holy Spirit with money in order to maintain his status, was needful then and more today, so that the the genuine POWER and the WORD of God which is of Christ Jesus, could multiply in the hearts of men rather than the falsehood of these fallible men that’s BEWITCHING by SORCERIES, the creation of God as it was of Simon of Samaria.

Therefore, think and ponder today, if you are one of those attributing the POWER of God which is of Christ Jesus to a man, thereby leading them to errors; also, if you are one of the men as Simon and king Herod, receiving the accordance of the POWER of God, which is of Christ Jesus as yours, in order to maintain and keep the status of your pride and arrogance, in bewitching the people with that act, practice and scheme that you are using which is unknown to your followers.

“. . . 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 . . . 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:18-31.

“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

“. . . 9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used SORCERY, and BEWITCHED the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: 10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the GREAT POWER of God. 11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had BEWITCHED them with SORCERIES. 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself BELIEVED also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done . . .” Acts 8:1-24.

“Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no POWER but of God: the POWERS that be are ORDAINED of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 for he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake . . .” Romans 13:1-10.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, ARRAYED in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he GAVE NOT God the glory: and he was eaten of worms and gave up the ghost. 24 But THE WORD of God GREW and MULTIPLIED” Acts 12:20-24.

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be NO PRIEST to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore MY PEOPLE ARE GONE INTO CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure:and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. 15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15.

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE

AUGUST YOUR PATH WITH DILIGENCE: YOU WILL THEN STAND IN THE PLACE OF HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY AND OPPORTUNITY!

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBILITY, OPPORTUNITY); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURED, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29.

You are a PRODUCT of your life PATH. It’s not the end that justify the means as popularly said, but in essence, in life and in the kingdom of God principles, it’s the PATH that defines your eventual outcome.

You tomorrow is a product of your today. Your DILIGENCE PATH in your TODAY will surely evolve the KING in you for today and TOMORROW. So THINK and AUGUST your life rightly in grace and godliness.

God rewards DILIGENCE. Make it your footsteps and footprints to greatness. Keep at bay the MEAN – OBSCURED and UNPRODUCTIVE life game.

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE

By Leave a Comment

EAGLES’ FLIGHT – THE CHOICE TO AUGUST YOUR LIFE: TO BE EITHER A THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT!

“. . . 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself . . .” Exodus 19:3-6.

To August your Worlds by the Word of Faith is about determining the atmosphere you want to see and enjoy in life day to day in Christ Jesus stead. It’s in your account and power to choose to either be the THERMOMETER that takes in the temperature of the atmosphere it surrounds itself with or to be the THERMOSTAT that defines to the environment the atmosphere or conditions it wants to allow and see.

You can either govern your Worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH or be governed by the CIRCUMSTANCES and PHILOSOPHIES that are in the world around you as Apostle Paul warns young Timothy against exposure and sphere. 1 Timothy 1:1-20.

The word AUGUST means admiration, inspiring reverence, supreme, dignity, grandeur, majestic, venerable, eminent, grand and lordly. Meaning to AUGUST is – to be dignified, to be reverend, to be admired, to be majestic, eminent, venerable, grand and more.

Jesus has lifted you from the bottom to the top. Brought us out of the merry clay into His banqueting table, and His banner over us is LOVE. It’s not enough to know it, you need to actualised it into reality. That’s where THE WORD OF FAITH comes into play. You can either live by assumptions and presumptions and self-made notions or by THE WORD OF FAITH.

I beg you to august your path as a THERMOSTAT, so that you can have and enjoy the fullness of God in life and godliness. Give it a thought and be richly blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Be a THERMOSTAT and not a THERMOMETER, to august your worlds by THE WORD OF FAITH. It’s in your hand to COLOUR your worlds of operations and life exploration COLOURFULLY; and thereby THRIVING and FLOURISHING, REFRESHING and BLOSSOMING, REJUVENATING and GLOWING, knowing that the JUSTIFIED in God by Christ Jesus shall LIVE by his FAITH – Romans 5:2-2; Habakkuk 2:4 (Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 11:1-3).

It’s in this regards of THE WORD OF FAITH,  that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was born and to fulfill in him as the Father of many nations – Romans 4:17-22; Genesis 12:1-5. It’s by THE WORD OF FAITH, acting as a THERMOSTAT not as a THERMOMETER, that he determines what he wants to see and experience in life. You too can do same as Apostle Paul will acclaimed also in the Holy Writ:  “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 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 8:8-13.

“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.

“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.

“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE YOU ON EAGLES’ WINGS, and brought you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a KINGDOM of priests, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.

“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 2:9-10.

WHEN AT CROSSROADS: AUGUST YOUR LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath BEGUN A GOOD WORK in you will PERFORM it until the DAY of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

Are you at crossroads on defining which life PATH to follow in order to AUGUST your life well-being? I know of someone who owns life and had defined it because He had experience it too and AUGUST many innumerable life’s including mine. HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST – SAVIOUR AND LORD OF ALL

Just call on Him right now today, and you will never be the same again. The reason being that He’s the same person today as He was yesterday and will be tomorrow for your well-being.

“Jesus Christ the SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

Knowing this, that your secret, innermost path will define or show you up one day; and the beauty and shining light you desire of yourself today is embedded, made and defined already by the secret path of yesterday.

You can start afresh again if you failed yesterday, don’t give up for any reason at all. For God is able in Christ Jesus stead to make it all well for you again in all matters of doing life and living godly.

“The STEPS of a good man are ORDERED by the Lord: and he DELIGHTETH in his WAY. 24 Though he FALL, he shall not be UTTERLY cast down: for the Lord UPHOLDETH him with his hand” Psalm 37:23-24.

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH

WISDOM NUGGETS FOR THE YOUTH: IT IS TIME TO MAKE A NEW YOU START-UP – TO BEAR YOUR OWN YOKE – IF NOT HAPPY AT HOME!

“It is GOOD for a man that he BEAR the YOKE in his YOUTH” Lamentations 3:27.

It’s AUGUST – the Month 8; Adam START-UPS was on the day 8th, while God RESTED on the day 7th after creation, as in Genesis – The Holy Scriptural Book of Beginning. It’s time to stop living for an ENTITLEMENT, it’s time to be creative and innovative, to explore and initiate that beautiful onward and upward trajectory insights and foresights that you’ve so much dreamed to become.

So, if you do think Parents are harassing and bothering you? and you think you are a grown adult? then it’s time to be PRINCIPLED and then shoulder adult RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY – and all bothering problems will be resolved. Otherwise, don’t complain. Enough of the entitlement syndrome. You can’t lay claims to be treated as an adult with a childish and childishness behaviour. Just be informed – No parents take or tolerate such double standard. A life that’s worth living is at a cost and not a giveaway – and you can make your best day for today and tomorrow, to become a reality when you stand up to make your day count and account for your good at a your own cost. Therefore, arise, dust off the entitlement syndrome and take a new step of faith to own your today and tomorrow by launching out to bear your own burden and take care of the yoke as a grown adult.

“When I was a CHILD, I SPAKE as a CHILD, I UNDERSTOOD as a CHILD, I THOUGHT as a CHILD: but when I BECAME a MAN (ADULT), I put away CHILDISH things” 1 Corinthians 13:11 (Emphasis Mine).

If YOKE is easy and parents are TROUBLESOME, let the YOUTH give it a go without complains and murmurs. You can GET or CREATE a job, it’s all worth it for your yoke bearing while its day before the night of life falls before you and it’s late to make your good happen to you.

 NOW GIVE IT A GO. DON’T GIVE UP. DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF – YOU CAN BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE BY GOD IN HIS GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 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 3:27-30.

The dawn Month AUGUST, is the eight month of the year and thus represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth [8] month of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven [7] months that is 31 days long.

And in conjunction with the month theme which is “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”, to AUGUST by the theme therefore is to ensure “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

In GENESIS 1-2:3, the scripture gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED in pleasure of His creation as in REVELATION 4:11 and ECCLESIASTES 3:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

“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/AMP

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I think and have come to know and understand by the Spirit of God. This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, the man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born and made to begin; meaning the EIGHTH day was the BEGINNING of man [non-gender] to LIVE for purpose and meanings [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-2; Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP]; and it’s for man to start taking on in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God on the seventh [7] day, in order to find his OWN REST when done of God’s purpose for him [Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; Revelation 14:13]; and it’s for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fulfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY TO – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or when you were starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for an honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while you need to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED,  REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE: 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them” Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began its ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again by “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”.

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the calendar year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written in Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam who misplaced his priority with Eve, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our Saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to steppingstones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to SHAVE HIS BEARD, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of HONOUR, EMINENT, DIGNITY and REVERED, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai, lived in him [Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4-6].

I PRAY that you have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, as you start “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 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 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“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” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:25-27.

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“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.

THE PATH OF TRUE LIFE

By Leave a Comment

THE PATH OF TRUE LIFE: FOUND IN GOD’S PRESENCE AND AT HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“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.

Do you want to do life with God? Do you want to live godly with God? Do you want to access God and stay put in Him? Do you really want all things that pertains to doing life and godliness that’s made available to us by God’s divine power in Christ Jesus? Do you want to ensure that God’s precious promised BLESSEDNESS are readily accessible, reachable and effortless as by His divine nature? If you answer is YES as in mine, then we need to follow His set PATH OF LIFE for us in His divine plan, purpose and pursuit. You need to follow His set life path and way, for He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

“The STEPS of a [GOOD and RIGHTEOUS] man are DIRECTED and ESTABLISHED by the Lord, And He DELIGHTS in his WAY [and BLESSES his PATH]” Psalms 37:23/AMP.

And God’s intent to direct and order our path to His set plan, purpose and pursuit for our life, is to enable us have His FULNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOREVER MORE – and are found and ensured in these contexts:

 ** Living within HIS PRESENCE as a lifestyle by the leading of the Holy Spirit.

** Living within HIS RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which is in Christ Jesus.

For the path of the righteous in God’s set plan in Christ Jesus, will give the dawn day for the dawn life that we do earnestly desire and crave to attain in Him in Christ Jesus.

“But the PATH of the JUST is as the SHINING light, that SHINETH more and more unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day . . .” Proverbs 4:18-23 Emphasis Mine.

Therefore I say to you today, that for the unspeakable, indescribable, overwhelming, and incomprehensible complete JOY and UNENDING PLEASURES of God in Christ Jesus’s stead, you and I need to practice the lifestyle of LIVING WITHIN GOD’S PRESENCE. And God’s PRESENCE which is – to being LED by the Holy Spirit 24/7; and another is to ensure we do stay WITHIN the bounds of God’s RIGHT HAND, which is, His RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, not in our own man-made religious dogma, denominational creeds and bylaws, and some set traditions that make the WORD of God of no effect in us.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS today that you are awakened to enjoy God’s set part in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’s stead. Amen.

“For MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS, NEITHER ARE YOUR WAYS MY WAYS, saith the Lord. 9 For as the heavens are HIGHER than the earth, so are MY WAYS HIGHER than YOUR WAYS, and MY THOUGHTS than YOUR THOUGHTS. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off” Isaiah 55:8-13.
