THE GLORIOUS CHURCH: THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – Is The CHURCH of God In Christ Jesus Stead!

“And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. HOLY FATHER, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast GIVEN me, THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE ARE. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled . . . SANCTIFY (SET APART) them through thy TRUTH: thy WORD is TRUTH” John 17:11-12, 17.

The GLORIOUS Church is an UNPARALLELED ARMY – being the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead; and is born of the Holy Spirit of God, rooted and grounded in the WORD of God. The GLORIOUS Church is the splendour of God’s glory in humanity and is structured by designed of God in faith, and fashioned and polished in the similitude of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in His graciousnesss and gracefulness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [John 17:17; Acts 20:32;  Hebrews 11:3; Psalms 144:11-12].

For the GLORIOUS Church is fashioned and polished to be an unparalleled army of God’s intent, by being founded and grounded on God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, in this GLORIOUS Church, there’s no room for PERVERSION, DISTORTION, PRETENCE, ENVY, CONTENTION, SCHISM, COUNTERFEIT, ADULTERATION, FALSEHOODS and such like. Certainly there may be certain group and sects of infiltrators who will be RAVENING WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING’S, MINISTER’S OF DARKNESS APPEARING AS ANGELIC MINISTER’S OF LIGHT, and the ENEMY and COHORTS taking the nature of  “A LION” not “THE LION”, thereby in contrary appearing as “A ROARING LION” seeking to find a weak end GLORIOUS Church to devour as a prey, but not as “THE LION” of the tribe Judah that have prevailed and triumph for the GLORIOUS Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. There many be many “A LION” but there’s only one “THE LION”, who is the head of the GLORIOUS Church – in the person of our Redeemer, Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [Matthew 7:15; Revelation 5:5-10; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4].

The GLORIOUS Church as an unparalleled army is authentic and conditioned with the NATURE of God – which is HOLINESS. Meaning as the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus, the GLORIOUS Church is HOLY and HOLINESS befitted in every of the ramifications of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead; and as having the Spirit of HOLINESS which is the NATURE of God without controversy and disputations. [1 Timothy 3:16]. And as GLORIOUS in HOLINESS, it can’t be LESS GLORIOUS or MORE GLORIOUS in HOLINESS – for in the sphere of God in Christ Jesus there’s no distinction and classification – is only HOLINESS. It’s natured, nurtured, cherished and kept without spot or wrinkle or in any such thing for the splendour of the Lord God in Christ Jesus. For the GLORIOUS Church is you the individual, the local and universal body of Christ Jesus described as members of HIS BODY, of HIS FLESH, and of HIS BONES. [Ephesians 5:25-33; Romans 1:1-7].

Hence, Apostle Paul in his writings to the Ephesians Church, compare the Church relationship with Christ Jesus as the head to husband and wife relationship for beauty, purity, glory, splendour, fabulous, gorgeous, lovely, purposeful and such like. He then emphasis the essence of the Church being GLORIOUS and worthily worthy and acceptably in service, as a bride waiting for her bridegroom of whom is Christ Jesus – our Saviour and Lord. The GLORIOUS Church as an UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus is as indescribable and invincible and incomprehensible and incomparable and such like – as the head of the Church – being our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [Ephesians 5:25-33].

It’s my utmost delight and PRAYERS that our God will inspire you, reveal to you and empower you the more beyond this writ, of who you ARE in Him, in Christ Jesus stead, as a GLORIOUS CHURCH that He’s building to be without spots and wrinkles – awaiting the coming of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. [Matthew 16:13-20/AMP].

MARANATHA! OH COME LORD JESUS!!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ACCORDINGLY!!

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. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but NOURISHETH and CHERISHETH IT, EVEN AS THE LORD THE CHURCH: 30 for we ARE MEMBERS of his BODY, of his FLESH, and of his BONES. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I SPEAK CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH. 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she REVERENCE her husband” Ephesians 5:25-33

“For such are FALSE apostles, deceitful workers, TRANSFORMING themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into AN ANGEL OF LIGHT. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his MINISTERS also be TRANSFORMED as the MINISTERS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS; whose end shall be according to their works” Ephesians 11:13-15.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of THE GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

“Beware of FALSE prophets, which come to you in SHEEP’S CLOTHING, but INWARDLY they are RAVENING WOLVES” Matthew 7:15.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as A ROARING LION, walketh about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER GOSPEL: 7 which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would PERVERT THE GOSPEL of Christ. 8 But though we, or an ANGEL from heaven, PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have PREACHED unto you, let him be ACCURSED. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man PREACH any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that ye have RECEIVED, let him be ACCURSED” Galatians 1:6-9.

“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDA, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden VIALS FULL OF ODOURS, WHICH ARE THE PRAYERS OF SAINTS. 9 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 5:5-10.

“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 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: 7 to all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 1:1-7.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED

LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS!

“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified.

It’s awesome to know that you’ve been QUALIFIED to share in the saints INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it’s within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus, to now rise up in grace – declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED. That’s the reason to commend yourself to God and to the word of His grace, that builds up and gives access to the inheritance as set for all who are Sanctified in Christ Jesus stead – meaning set apart for God’s uniqueness in blessedness.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among ALL them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers as Apostle Paul did with the Ephesians Church. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ.

EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now.

“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we pray that you may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14 (Amplified).

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man comethh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8.

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).

A friend of mine just wrote a book that’s worth exploring, I didn’t wait to order myself a copy and as soon as the book reaches my door steps, I waste no time to unpack and gets into reading on my staircase in order to devour the writ because I know it’s a spiritual meal worth getting, knowing from whom it’s written. [Matthew 13:44-46]. For wisdom, the application of knowledge is at cost and worth it when you know the value of what you worth and the need and essence to keep the informed worth continuously refreshing, rekindling, rejuvenating and blossoming in life and grace.

How much do you think you WORTH? How much are you INVESTING on your WORTH to make it appreciate value the MORE? What’s your current lifestyle price tag? Don’t you intend spicing up your current stage and phase in life for a more healthier place? Are you still fresh or refreshing and rejuvenating in minds and thoughts? Are you still set in your old set mind setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? Are you truly LIVING or you are just managing to EXIST? I just wants you to know that YOU WORTH A LIFE and needs to LIVE THE WORTH. It’s time to take a PAUSE and THINK about it for a moment before you take the next step of action.

“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5.

Today, I just discovered that my wife Faith is investing time, money and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do. And not quite long ago, she was investing on books to expand her horizons of knowledge on subjects that worth exploring explicitly and that matters to her dearly, instead of waiting  for a second or third hands information that may have been distorted and adulterated from the original information – especially now in our world of social experiment that’s polluted with misinformation and disinformation across the boards.

However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good on a long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes and challenges in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put a new wine in an old wineskins. There has to be a new you for your new day. From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergise your current life status or the dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such like.

Don’t you know it’s a high time you READ to ACQUIRE skill or knowledge, or LEARN to EARN more again or the more in order to improve the quality of your life in grace – which is by attending a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create, initiate and explore – in order to be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to be EXPLORE in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and bring about your best and ultimate well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV.

Now, I know why most times people are still set in their old ways that have captivated them and nothing adventurous is there, driving them to attain higher heights; and they see nothing worth pursuing to keep them fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create; and they see nothing motivating, inspiring, revealing and empowering about them to enable them ensure they obtain the life that WORTH embracing, to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. My dearly beloved of God in Christ Jesus stead, know of a truth that the above-mentioned norm found in some ought not to be so and not for you too, especially in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS that’s abundantly available to us all irrespective, in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s time to say – oh God, RENEW, REFRESH , REJUVENATE, REKINDLE AND BLOSSOM my days and REVITALISE my life with the needed investment on KNOWLEDGE and EXPOSURE to keep me updated in order to be effectual and efficient, and to navigate in the changing WORLD SYSTEM with the gracious ATTITUDE that will bring about the desired onward and upward trajectory toward an ALTITUDE of graciousnesss and gracefulness for me, in your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the way of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.

“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is hard (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.

Know for sure, that, living and sustaining a colourful life that’s genuine and to be in GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS without stress, sweat and depression is not cheap and out there by a MERE wishes; hence the need to INVEST in the needed KNOWLEDGE to CHANGE your worlds for good and to CREATE the needed atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and live within. For you are the custodian of your own happiness and joy and not another that you want to blame as many have done in ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness.

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

You are the architects of your worlds – whether it’s good or hurting at the moment. It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through NEEDED knowledge. Don’t let ignorance, foolishness and stupidity, presumption, illusions and procrastination keep you static, burnt out and worn out – especially in your marital relationship, business enterprise, career or trade and such like needed place that WORTH INVESTING your – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. It’s time to update your worlds for your GRACIOUSNESSS GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.

Listen – I love PRAYERS and I enjoy God’s PRESENCE in PRAYERS; but please, please, don’t use PRAYERS to OVERLOOK you ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of doing life and living godly by God’s WORD in context. Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead (inactive, inoperative) and it’s standing alone. PRAYERS without corresponding ACTIONS will keep one MOANING and COMPLAINING and BLAMING others through life. Take the scale off your eyes and look up to the stars – you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow – 2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18.

GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS – AND EVERY OTHERS THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).

“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children” Hosea 4:6 NKJV.

“THEREFORE MY PEOPLE HAVE GONE into CAPTIVITY, BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. 15 People shall be brought down, Each man shall be humbled, And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled” Isaiah 5:13-15 NKJV.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-45 NKJV.

“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 we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the promises” Hebrews 6:11-12.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5.

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE UNPARALLELED ARMY – THE CHURCH OF GOD: DEPICTS AS LOVING (LOVELY), GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“For no one can lay a FOUNDATION other than the one which is [ALREADY] laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11 Amplified.

“Husbands, LOVE your wives [seek the highest good for her and surround her with a caring, unselfish love], just as Christ also LOVED THE CHURCH and GAVE Himself up for her, 26 so that He might SANCTIFY THE CHURCH, having cleansed her by the washing of water with THE WORD [of God], 27 so that [in turn] He might present THE CHURCH to Himself in GLORIOUS splendor, WITHOUT spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be HOLY [set apart for God] and blameless” Ephesians 5:25-27 Amplified.

The Church of God, depicted as the UNPARALLELED ARMY of God in Christ Jesus stead in comparison to any force and power known or yet to be known, in any human history (past, present and future), is superior and unparalleled as His commandant rules and reigns supreme in the heavenly, beneath the earth and also on the earth – at any time and any day and any where at the same time. For God is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient and unlimited by geography and territories as He has apportioned it in the world. Acts 17:24-31; Ephesians 1:21-23 (15-21); Ephesians 3:20-21; Philippians 3:20-21.

The beauty to the graciousnesss and gracefulness and goodness of this unparalleled army, is that the captain of the host of the Lord’s army and accompanying Him for the unparalleled army is an indescribable and invincible angelic assisted being with such armoury that’s not of human craft for any warfare. Joshua 5:13-14; Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20. And this army is not limited by geography, people or tribe, culture, tongue, class or status, colour and such like but visible in every places of human dwellings on the planet earth.

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he LIFTED up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his SWORD DRAWN IN HIS HAND: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as CAPTAIN OF THE HOST of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?” Joshua 5:13-14.

“And of the ANGELS he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS OF SALVATION?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.

“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO his commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God, is glamorous and authentic and genuine and real to making a difference in humanity as characterised for the following reasons but not limited:

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is LOVING AND LOVELY! – Galatians 5:6, 13; 1 John 4:7-21

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is GLORIOUS AND SPOTLESS! – Ephesians 5:25-33.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is MILITANT SOLDIER-LIKE IN WARFARE! – 2 Timothy 2:3-4; Ephesians 6:10-20; 1 Timothy 1:18-19; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6..

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is TRIUMPHANT AND TRIUMPHING! – 2 Corinthians 2:14; Exodus 15: 1, 21.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is VICTORIOUS! – 1 Corinthians 15:57; 1 John 5:4.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is OVERCOMING AND OVERCOMER! – 1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11; 1 John 2:14; 1 John 4:4.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is MORE THAN A CONQUEROR AND CONQUEST! – Romans 8:31-37.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is THE HEAVENLY AMBASSADOR, EMBASSY AND REPRESENTATIVE! – 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Ephesians 6:20; Proverbs 13:17.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is EMBOLDENED AND FEARLESS. 2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; Hebrews 4:14-16.

* The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead is built on GOD’S HOLINESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS IN CHRIST JESUS. 1 Corinthians 1:30; Romans 10:1-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 5:17-21; Romans 14:17; Romans 1:16-17.

* . . . and such like.

There’s so much to write about the LOVING AND LOVELY, GLORIOUS, MILITANT-LIKE SOLDIER AND TRIUMPHANT Church of God, that embodies the UNPARALLELED ARMY of you ARE in Christ Jesus stead. I do believe that as you take time to study the Holy writ on your own, you will discover the MORE who you are and how to actualise it to make the needed difference in your life and in the world.

I pray that you will live meaningfully and fulfilling as a loving and lovely, glorious, militant-like soldier and triumphant Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; FOR THOU SHALT NOT FEAR: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. 15 Behold, they shall SURELY GATHER TOGETHER, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake. 16 Behold, I have CREATED THE SMITH that BLOWETH THE COALS IN THE FIRE, and that bringeth forth AN INSTRUMENT FOR HIS WORK; and I have created the waster to destroy. 17 NO WEAPON that is FORMED AGAINST thee shall prosper; and every TONGUE that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the HERITAGE of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord” Isaiah 54:13-17.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another” Galatians 5:6, 13.

“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to LOVE one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his LOVE is PERFECTED in us . . . 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We LOVE him, because he first LOVED us. 20 If a man say, I LOVE God, and HATETH his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he LOVE God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who LOVETH God LOVE his brother also” 1 John 4:7-21.

“Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 that he might present it to himself A GLORIOUS CHURCH, NOT HAVING SPOT, OR WRINKLE, OR ANY SUCH THING; but that it should be HOLY and WITHOUT BLEMISH. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself . . . 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH . . .” Ephesians 5:25-33.

“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” 2 Timothy 2:3-4.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord, and in the POWER OF HIS MIGHT. 11 Put on the WHOLE ARMOUR of God, that ye may be able to STAND AGAINST THE WILES OF THE DEVIL. 12 For we WRESTLE not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an AMBASSADOR in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10-20.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, WE DO NOT WAR AFTER THE FLESH: 4 (for the weapons of our WARFARE are not CARNAL (MAN MADE), 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.

“This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest WAR A GOOD WARFARE; 19 holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck” 1 Timothy 1:18-19.

“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his KNOWLEDGE by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea . . . 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1, 21.

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

“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 they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by THE WORD of their testimony; and they LOVED not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us” Romans 8:37.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – The CHURCH of God: The PERSONIFIED Church That’s Spirit-Filled, Word-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled And Faith-Filled!

“But KNOW that the Lord hath SET APART him that is GODLY for himself: the Lord will HEAR when I CALL unto him” Psalms 4:3.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead, is spiritually charged – energised and synergised and SET APART uniquely as a WORD-BASED Church for the GLORY and PRAISE of God, in the person of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ [Psalms 4:3]. Even so, Christ Jesus in humanity INSTRUCTED that those who will be followers called DISCIPLES to be enlisted aSs the UNPARALLELED ARMY of the Church of God in Him, must CONTINUE in His WORD as a defacto without compromise of any sort and in every respect, irrespective of anything known and unknown so that they might share in the INHERITANCE that’s for all that are SANCTIFIED – SET APART by His WORD.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, IF YE CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES INDEED; 32 and ye shall KNOW the TRUTH, and the TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.

 Another gracious fundamental and foundational basis that makes the WORD-based UNPARALLELED ARMY – The Church of God so unequalled, is on the rooting and grounding as a Spirit-Filled, Love-Filled, Hope-Filled and Faith-Filled Church of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This aforementioned and not limited can’t be obtained anywhere else in the parralleled universe. And it’s efficacious because of the effectual and efficient working that is energised and synergised of the blessed Holy Spirit by the WORD of God into the being of the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus stead, which you ARE in Him. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED (LAVISHLY) 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/Emphasis Mine.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY is located there in every place of doing life in humanity on the earth and is not limited by geography; and is multi-generational, nondenominational, multilingual, multicultural, multidimensional and such like. And you ARE that UNPARALLELED ARMY – the Church of God in Christ Jesus, that’s born of God and is both locally and universally located, accessible and reachable with a liveable and lovable personality.

The UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God in Christ Jesus is THE YOU, THE LOCAL and THE UNIVERSAL body of Christ Jesus; and it’s characterised with Holy Spirit synergised character and energised dunamis and charisma, in all personality because of these but not limited in endowments and enduements:

When you begin to manifest in essence who you ARE in Christ Jesus, the Spirit of the Greater one in you will begin to work through you to make the needed difference to make OTHERS come to join this uniquely set apart unparalleled army that’s invincibly and angelically assisted to do the kingdom cause of God, in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. Be the difference in someone’s life as the UNPARALLELED ARMY – the CHURCH of God for the good of others near you and by you.

“Little children (believers, dear ones), you ARE of God and you belong to Him and have [already] OVERCOME them [the agents of the antichrist]; because He who is IN you is GREATER than he (Satan) who is IN the world [of sinful mankind]. 5 They [who teach twisted doctrine] ARE of the world and belong to it; therefore they speak from the [viewpoint of the] world [with its immoral freedom and baseless theories—demanding compliance with their opinions and ridiculing the values of the upright], and the [gullible one of the] world listens closely and pays attention to them. 6 We [who teach God’s word] ARE from God [energized by the Holy Spirit], and whoever knows God [through personal experience] listens to us [and has a deeper understanding of Him]. Whoever is not of God does not listen to us. By this we know [without any doubt] the spirit of truth [motivated by God] and the spirit of error [motivated by Satan]” 1 John 4:4-6/AMP.

I hereby in God’s grace do urge you to get yourself spirited in grace by being the UNPARALLELED ARMY- the CHURCH of God that’s SPIRIT-FILLED, WORD-FILLED, LOVE-FILLED, HOPE-FILLED and FAITH-FILLED in all that pertains to doing life and living godly on earth, until our Saviour and Lord Christ Jesus returns.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be FILLED with the [Holy] Spirit and CONSTANTLY guided by Him. 19 Speak to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, [offering praise by] singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; 21 being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ” Ephesians 5:17-21 Amplified.

“For we [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, SET APART for His purpose and] ARE the true circumcision, who WORSHIP in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh” Philippians 3:3 Amplified.

“But a time is coming and is already here when the TRUE WORSHIPERS will WORSHIP the Father in spirit [from the heart, the inner self] and in truth; for the Father seeks such people to be His worshipers. 24 God is a Spirit [the Source of life, yet invisible to mankind], and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” John 4:23-24 Amplified.

“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” Romans 10:8-10.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the worlds were FRAMED by THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 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 11:1-3, 6 (Habakkuk 2:4; Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 14:23)

“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.

“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 . . . 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 5:1-2, 5.

“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear: 18 forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: 20 who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you, 21 who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your FAITH and HOPE might be in God” 1 Peter 1:17-21.

“Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; 2 in HOPE of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; 3 but hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour” Titus 1:1-3.

“Now the God of HOPE FILL YOU with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, that ye may ABOUND IN HOPE, through the POWER of the Holy Ghost” Romans 15:13.

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5.

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in THE MEASURE of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:11-16.

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY

GREAT – IF YOU DON’T DO IDOLS AND IDOLATRY: HOW ABOUT SACRILEGE – THE SACRILEGIOUS ACTS!

“Thou therefore which TEACHEST another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that PREACHEST a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  ABHORREST IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

It’s very easy for any to credit themselves and say – I DON’T DO IDOLS or IDOLATRY. Meaning I have no image, picture and object and even shrine that I go, consult and or make sacrifices toward. More so, I don’t REVERED and BELIEVED in any man made gods. However, I hope you do not practice SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

What is SACRILEGE? It’s the SHARING and PLEASURING in the spirits, gains, offerings, tokens, pleasures  and such like as a results of IDOLS or and IDOLATOR’S in ones life. Aiding and abetting for the gains in any form either indirectly or directly on matters of idol and Idolatory in Scriptural context, makes one a culprits – that’s sacrilege or sacrilegious acts.

“For [God does not OVERLOOK sin and] the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who in their wickedness SUPPRESS and STIFLE the truth, 19 because that which is KNOWN about God is EVIDENT within them [in their inner consciousness], for God made it evident to them . . . 32 Although they KNOW God’s righteous decree and His judgment, that those who do such things DESERVE death, yet they not only do them, but they even PLEASURE, [ENTHUSIASTICALLY] APPROVE and TOLERATE others who practice them” Romans 1:18-32/AMP.

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before coming to REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, thereby turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to serve  God acceptably and worship Him worthily by the Holy Spirit through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“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.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such like acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse  before God.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are these:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest –  that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such like are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease to their community gods and goddesses for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods and goddess of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such like will do any DEMAND placed before them so long their objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and bait people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicate that you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS – KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE – AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  abhorrest IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27.

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth DIVINATION, or an OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an ENCHANTER, or a WITCH, 11 or a CHARMER, or a CONSULTER with FAMILIAR SPIRITS, or a WIZARD, or a NECROMANCER. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do” Deuteronomy 18:10-14.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: MATTERS OF IDOLS!

IDOLS are ANYTHING but NOTHING – For in Christ Jesus WE ARE JUSTIFIED and WE HAVE ACCESS by FAITH with God. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, WE HAVE PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also WE HAVE ACCESS BY FAITH into THIS GRACE wherein WE STAND, and REJOICE in hope of THE GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

“All these things happened to them as examples—as object lessons to us—to warn us against doing the same things; they were written down so that we could read about them and learn from them in these LAST DAYS as the world nears its end . . .19 What am I trying to say? Am I saying that the IDOLS to whom the HEATHEN bring sacrifices are really alive and are real gods, and that these sacrifices are of some value? NO, NOT AT ALL. 20 What I am saying is that those who offer food to these idols are united together in sacrificing to DEMONS, certainly not to God. And I don’t want any of you to be PARTNERS with DEMONS when you eat the same food, along with the heathen, that has been offered to these IDOLS. 21 You cannot drink from the cup at the Lord’s Table and at Satan’s table, too. You CANNOT eat bread both at the LORD’S TABLE and at SATAN’S TABLE” 1 Corinthians 10:11, 19-21 (Living Bible).

“Next is your question about EATING FOOD that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS. On this question everyone feels that only his answer is the right one! But although being a “KNOW-IT-ALL” makes us feel important, WHAT IS REALLY NEEDED TO BUILD THE CHURCH IS LOVE. 2 If anyone thinks he knows all the answers, he is just SHOWING his ignorance. 3 But the person who truly loves God is the one who is OPEN TO GOD’S KNOWLEDGE. 4 So now, what about it? Should we EAT meat that has been SACRIFICED TO IDOLS? Well, we all know that AN IDOL IS NOT REALLY A GOD, and that there is ONLY ONE GOD, AND NO OTHER. 5 According to some people, there are a great many gods, both in heaven and on earth. 6 But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created all things and made us to be his own; and one Lord Jesus Christ, who made everything and gives us life. 7 However, some Christians don’t realize this. All their lives they have been used to thinking of IDOLS as alive, and have believed that FOOD OFFERED TO THE IDOLS is really being OFFERED TO ACTUAL GODS. So when they eat such food it bothers them and hurts their tender consciences. 8 Just remember that God doesn’t care whether we eat it or not. We are no worse off if we don’t eat it, and no better off if we do. 9 But be careful not to use your FREEDOM to eat it, lest you cause some Christian brother to sin whose CONSCIENCE is weaker than yours. 10 You see, this is what may happen: Someone who thinks it is wrong to eat this food will see you eating at a temple restaurant, for you know there is no harm in it. Then he will become bold enough to do it too, although all the time he still feels it is wrong. 11 So because you “know it is all right to do it,” you will be responsible for causing great spiritual damage to a brother with a tender conscience for whom Christ died. 12 And it is a sin AGAINST Christ to sin AGAINST your brother by encouraging him to do something he thinks is wrong. 13 So if eating meat OFFERED TO IDOLS is going to make my brother sin, I’ll not eat any of it as long as I live because I don’t want to do this to him” I Corinthians 8:1-13 (Living Bible).

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not HABITUALLY sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that WE ARE of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), GUARD yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s place in your heart]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Living Bible).

I can honestly say I know both ends because I was born into IDOL and IDOLATRY sphere before coming to REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in Christ Jesus, thereby turning my life away from IDOLS and IDOLATRY to serve  God acceptably and worship Him worthily by the Holy Spirit through my Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

“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.

When you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, begins to share in the spirits, gains, offerings, pleasures and such like acts indirectly if not directly involved, of the practices of IDOLS or IDOLATRY, the Scripture of Romans 1:18, 32 indicates you are a PARTNER and PARTAKER of such SACRILEGIOUS ACTS – knowingly or unknowingly. Hence ignorance is not an excuse  before God.

“And the times of this IGNORANCE God WINKED at; but now COMMANDETH all men every where to REPENT: 31 because he hath APPOINTED a day, in the which he will JUDGE the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead” Acts 17:30-31.

Some Examples of such SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS are these:

*** Asking someone to consult a MEDIUM, SEER, WITCH, ORACLES, FAMILIAR spirits and SUCH LIKES on your behalf to get an ANSWER to your life quest –  that’s seeking the GAINS and PLEASURES from such IDOLS – demons or the humans who acts as COHORTS and PRINCIPALITIES in use. When you do such, you are invariably a PARTAKER and PARTNER of the gains and pleasures. Sometimes they may give you items to hold, use and do certain things on you as INCISIONS on the body in some instances, in order to satisfy the spirits of such consultations – an entrance to hidden and unseen demonic craft and bondage.

*** In some typical Culturalised Communities but not limited, lots of Festivals such as – FARMING (Yam, Cassava, Plantain etc), FISHING (Various Assorted water creatures) and such like are held (celebrated and commemorated) to enact the year PRODUCE and to appease to their community gods and goddesses for further years to come. The Community Chief Priest are requested to consults the gods and goddess of the land (community) to satisfy the needed doings or sacrifice before the start off to the consumption of the particular crop harvest. When you share in such acts, you invoke the fallen spirits (demons) of darkness – principalities and powers – assigned to that community by satan to act along in your life as he does in the community though you are not literally involved behind the scene of appease and invoking to the IDOLS – gods of the land they call it. And geographical locations or background is no exception to the operations of these spiritual demonic beings.

*** Sometimes, couples are desperate to have a child or children, and some singles who feel age is not on their side in getting married, will send relatives, friends and who they deem trustworthy to go on their behalf to make consultations to either an IDOLS priest or directly to the IDOLS, to get every necessary help. Such helpful consultations to obtain/make gains, is called SACRILEGE – a SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** Sometimes, People who feels that their Business (Entrepreneurship), Career, position of Authority and Power (Political, Ministry, Civil Services etc) and such likes is/are not making a headway as expected, will do anything to forge ahead. Many results to SACRILEGE to settle such scores to avoid been known.

*** Sometimes, some in haste to get RICH, WEALTH, PASS EXAMINATIONS, WIN IN TOURNAMENTS and such like will do any DEMAND placed before them so long their objectives are acquired. Many will result to consultations via the SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

*** When you as a BELIEVER in Christ becomes agents or vehicle of use to help, assist and bait people who are in difficulties by taking advantage of their vulnerability to do consultations to these IDOLS – demonic acts of darkness, the Scripture indicate that you are PLEASURING and as such practicing SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

All these acts of SACRILEGE mentioned and such likes that are not mentioned, has consequences and side effects to all who are involved, directly or indirectly in a way. And divine judgements could be imminent or later when least expected.

Therefore, RUN and KEEP yourself away from IDOLS, IDOLATRY and SACRILEGE – SACRILEGIOUS ACTS for your own good and the good of those you care about for today and tomorrow. IF INDEED YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE INDEED A CHILD OF GOD’S KINGDOM IN CHRIST JESUS – KEEP YOURSELF AWAY FROM SACRILEGE – AND SACRILEGIOUS ACTS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

God BLESS You.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? 22 Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that  abhorrest IDOLS, dost thou COMMIT SACRILEGE?” Romans 2:21-22.

“Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which COMMIT such things (as SACRILEGE) are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM” Romans 1:32 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL EYE, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:22.

“We know [with confidence] that anyone born of God does not habitually sin; but He (Jesus) who was born of God [carefully] keeps and protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. 19 We know [for a fact] that we are of God, and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts]. 20 And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. 21 Little children (believers, dear ones), guard yourselves from IDOLS—[false teachings, moral compromises, and ANYTHING that would take God’s PLACE in your HEART]” 1 John 5:18-21 (Amplified).

“What do I mean then? That a thing offered to idols is anything [special or changed simply because it is offered], or that an idol is anything? 20 On the contrary, the things which the Gentiles (pagans) sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons [in effect], and not to God; and I do not want you to become partners with demons [by eating at feasts in pagan temples]. 21 You cannot drink [both] the Lord’s cup and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons [thereby becoming partners with them]” 1 Corinthians 10:19-21.

“‘Do not turn to MEDIUMS [who pretend to consult the dead] or to SPIRITISTS [who have spirits of divination]; do not seek them out to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God” Leviticus 19:31.

“As for the person who turns to MEDIUMS [who consult the dead] or to spiritists, to play the prostitute after them, I shall set My face against that person and will cut him off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. . . 27 ‘A man or woman who is a medium [who pretends to consult the dead] or who is a spiritist shall most certainly be put to death, and be stoned with stones; their blood is on them.” Leviticus 20:6, 27.

“. . . 7 Then Saul said to his servants, “Find for me a woman who is a MEDIUM [between the living and the dead], so that I may go to her and ask her advice.” His servants said to him, “There is a woman who is a medium at En-dor . . . ” 1 Samuel 28.

“Listen carefully, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders [that will occur] in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion. 19 When the people [instead of trusting God] say to you, “CONSULT THE MEDIUMS [who try to talk to the dead] and the SOOTHSAYERS who chirp and whisper and mutter,” SHOULD NOT A PEOPLE CONSULT THEIR GOD? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 [Direct those people] to the law and to the testimony! IF THEIR TEACHINGS ARE NOT IN ACCORD WITH THIS WORD, IT IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DAWN” Isaiah 8:18-20.

“There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth DIVINATION, or an OBSERVER OF TIMES, or an ENCHANTER, or a WITCH, 11 or a CHARMER, or a CONSULTER with FAMILIAR SPIRITS, or a WIZARD, or a NECROMANCER. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do” Deuteronomy 18:10-14.
