DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM

DON’T BE AN ILLEGITIMATE PERSON IN THE KINGDOM – DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR: SEEK THE NEED FOR SPIRITUAL PARENTING AND MENTORING!

“And I will GIVE you SHEPHERDS according to My heart, who will FEED you with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING” Jeremiah 3:15.

Don’t GROW IN GRACE by ISOLATION as some do or have done. We are called to be SEPARATE but not to ISOLATE. And to being “SEPARATE” in Scriptural terms as written in 2 Corinthians 6:17 (16-18) means being SET APART for God’s good and goodness in us, and doesn’t necessarily mean being in ISOLATION from others or to grow in grace without COMMUNION or ASSOCIATION in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren as written:

“But GROW IN GRACE, and in THE KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18.

“And let us CONSIDER one another in order to STIR up love and good works, 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as is the MANNER of some, but EXHORTING one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching” Hebrews 10:24-25.

Do you have a Spiritual Parent/Mentor in the walk of grace in Christ Jesus stead? or you are just a vagabond child in the kingdom? Have you seen the need to have someone in your life that can take a stand in grace to speak the TRUTH into your life without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation? Do you have someone who will speak the TRUTH to your being even when it hurts and painful but you know it’s for your good? It’s a high time to take the need for spiritual parenting and mentoring for granted.

“. . . 8 But if you are WITHOUT chastening (GUIDANCE), of which ALL have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE (BASTARD, VAGABOND) and not sons . . .” Hebrews 12:3-11.

May I advice and say – Don’t be a headless and a no Shepherd guide Child in the Kingdom. Much more so, endeavour and ensure that you go to a Church gathering place of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP where there’s a SHEPHERD and not a HIRELING as Christ warns in John 10:1-15. For you are the Church and there’s the need to find yourself in a gathering of same like faith in Christ Jesus where the WORD of God is the center context without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy); and where one is not bounded by sectarianism and denominationalism and traditional dogmas of creeds, bye-laws, man-made and man-make beliefs.

“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/Emphasis Mine.

Don’t be deter from the principle act of responsibility and accountability in the Kingdom, because you think or know that there are some TOUTS and PERVERTS operating around in the name of Ministry/Church wherein are gathering people in the name of God and His Church – [Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:1-24; Philippians 1:12-21, 27]; and don’t allow the errors of some to make you take for granted and play low the essence of Scriptural injunctions for yourself to gather with other same like faith as written in Ephesians 4:7-16 and Hebrews 10:24-25; know for sure, there’s an essence for the place of Shepherd in the Kingdom – to cause growth, maturity and perfection in the Body Ministry, in Christ Jesus stead as in Ephesians 4:7-16; Jeremiah 3:15; Proverbs 27:23-27. This is needful until He returns for His Church, that’s set to be glorious, victorious, triumphant, overcomer, more than conquerors, without spot and wrinkles and faithfully awaiting Him.

For the cause of the above reasons, Apostle Paul, dearly and passionately exhorted, admonished and gave a charged in this wise:

“For though ye have ten thousand INSTRUCTORS in Christ, yet have ye not many FATHERS: for in Christ Jesus I HAVE BEGOTTEN you through the GOSPEL” 1 Corinthians 4:15.

Thanks to God for the workings of the Holy Spirit in all BELIEVERS in Christ Jesus stead. Yet Today, there are many SPIRITUAL PARENTLESS Christian’s around, who are busy changing churches places of worship and fellowship as they change their clothes; and in some cases they have become more of a spiritual harlots; And for this absurd behavioural act of conduct, some parts of the Churches of Christ are in many phases of decay and having overwhelming leadership problems; and some on a fall outs as Apostle Paul admonished young Timothy on how he OUGHT to BEHAVE – CONDUCT himself in house of God among others as written:

“These things I write to you, though I hope to come to you shortly; 15 but if I am DELAYED, I write so that you may KNOW HOW YOU OUGHT TO CONDUCT yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Timothy 3:14-15.

Some of these absurd behavioural act of conduct are people who can’t lead themselves in the kingdom, but now are leading people and with no appropriate counselling and guidance, and have gone further to reproduce their kinds forming the mixed multitude around, creating schisms and questions both within the body of Christ and even among the unbelieving world who we ought to give the light of God without question.

Just because you are born of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and knows some couples of scriptures and speak forth in other tongues even more than your teachers doesn’t makes you to live without spiritual parenting. You need to SEEK for one. It’s possible to have many people around you to INSTRUCT you about the ways of God both in life, family and ministry, BUT endeavour to locate your Spiritual mentor’s as FATHER’S and MOTHER’S in faith that is reachable and you will respect, honour and dignify their spiritual position in your life for guidance knowing they will not take advantage of you or make you vulnerable in the faith. Their guidance as said by Apostle Paul in the scripture above of 1 Corinthians 4:15, will enhance, establish, strengthen and impart your faith in the Lord in order to THRIVE, FLOURISH and FULFILLED in Christ.

There is the NEED for SPIRITUAL PARENTING and MENTORING in the Kingdom Gospel of Christ Jesus. I do encourage you to Pray about it and God will lead you right to such gracious and graceful spiritual parent in faith as promised in Jeremiah 3:15, who will endeavour to see you established all round in Christ Jesus stead in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

Blessed regards in life and godliness!

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

By Leave a Comment

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE!

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.

We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving to TILL YOUR LAND in grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. And to have and to ensure to be assured of God’s power to get wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish, but an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness which embodiment is for us by wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT” Proverbs 28:19-20.

For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts  available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates, that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mystery’s of God without being mystical as some do craven after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too.

And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God,  God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.

It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13]. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.

For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around it’s to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power –[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, Initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady.

Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12].

I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

There’s an unhindered access into God’s BLESSEDNESS when you give attention to The WORD of God as your LAMP For INSIGHTS and your LIGHT For FORESIGHTS. The entrance of the WORD into your innermost being gives the needed UNDERSTANDING to make you BECOME in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead.

Gods WORD makes life matters SIMPLE – simplified – even that which you might have called COMPLICATED. You can’t keep saying life is complicated and or things are complicated whenever you are asked a question about something or certain things that the answer are obvious and easy to talk about graciously and gracefully as a child of God in Christ Jesus stead. I say this because God’s WORD have unequivocal ANSWER to that QUEST and THIRST that seems complicated, and have squeezed you badly that all that oozes out of you is no longer GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL when you open your mouth to SAY or DO anything or something in particular.

I plead with you today to make your day count and account through God’s WORD, for your good in everyway in Christ Jesus stead, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

THE BLESSING OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSING OF GOD: IT’S MUCH MORE THAN SILVER, GOLD AND PRECIOUS STONES!

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH rich, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” (Proverbs 10:22).

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

There’s something more valuable, enduring, durable, priceless, incomparable than silver, gold, diamond, platinum, precious stones and more. It’s called – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God.

‘THE BLESSING’ of God enriches one with silver, gold and more and it’s none of them; it answers every quests of human problems, prospering one with posterity intent. It empowers to make the impossible possible, and the possible absolutely possible.

When ‘THE BLESSING’ of God becomes a part of your being by virtue of being born of God, there’s a leverage that makes one live a stress free, sorrow free, sweat free, worries free and struggle free life in the midst of a troublesome, fainting and frustrating world with diverse circumstances and confusions.

Know for sure in Christ Jesus and in His stead, that you are BLESSED with ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ and ‘THE BLESSING OF GOD’ is spiritually secured for you in the HEAVENLY PLACES in Him; I mean the realm of the HEAVENLY PLACES, wherein thieves and robbers and corruption in secular or governmental governance can’t have access to misappropriate on your behalf and use against you or use as it pleases them for whatsoever reason..

Know for sure and certainly, that it’s by FAITH – the HEAVENLY legal and vital TENDER of exchange in EARTHLY affairs – that one can ACCESS and APPROPRIATE and ENACT – ‘THE BLESSING’ of God – into REALITY – manifestation and operation. Being BLESSED is of God for you, hence you can’t live less in your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Therefore, crave today for such realm of being BLESSED to enjoy the good done in you in Christ Jesus, which is of – THE BLESSING OF GOD.

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

I have good and best news ever for you on the BLESSEDNESS of God. Most importantly, I want you to know, that the NEW CREATION Testament BLESSEDNESS of God is not in any form of CONDITIONALITY as to that of the Old Testament kind of BLESSEDNESS that was based on CONDITIONALITY. In the New creation Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on what Christ Jesus is done for our REDEMPTION to ensure our rights and privileges in Him – Ephesians 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-4; whereas in the Old Testament – WE ARE BLESSED based on an “IF” conditions  – meaning, we are conditioned to being BLESSED, when we ARE able to DO the context demands of anything, for us to merit the humanly impossible settings of God on our own strength on God’s law – which we can’t attain no matter how much we try in our own strength [Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15 (1-15); Deuteronomy 11:26-28].

I pray that ‘THE BLESSING’ of the Lord God almighty in Christ Jesus stead, be endowed and endued – IN you, WITH you, FOR you and UPON you – with such leverage grace, in order to be ABOVE ONLY, in Christ Jesus’ BLESSED name, Amen!

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION

By Leave a Comment

BEING GOD’S SET-APART PERSON FOR THE CONGREGATION: IT’S A MINISTERIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY!

“And Moses spake unto the Lord, saying, 16 Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, SET A MAN over the CONGREGATION, 17 which may GO OUT before them, and which may GO IN before them, and which may LEAD them out, and which may BRING them in; that the CONGREGATION of the Lord be not as SHEEP which have no SHEPHERD” Number 27:15-17.

“Beside those things that are WITHOUT, that which cometh upon me DAILY, THE CARE of ALL the CHURCHES” 2 Corinthians 11:28.

Being called by Father God to the place of FELLOWSHIP in order to enhance His RELATIONSHIP with Him in Christ Jesus is preciously precious and must be faithfully treasured without measure. And more so, being given the opportunity and privilege as one SET-APART to lead His people and to feed them with knowledge and understanding, it’s at a cost and for a purpose. And it’s imperative that such rare apportion cause to do life and live godly it’s given such blessed regards without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation by all and any means at all.

“Go, STAND and SPEAK in the temple to the people ALL THE WORDS of this life” Acts 5:20.

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

Our Father God is jealous over His redeemed precious people that He has chosen to be a special called generation, a holy and peculiar people, that are to show forth and showcase His glory, majesty and grace to others – by bringing them into the light of life.

Therefore, know of a TRUTH this day, in this moment that being a God’s SET-MAN for the congregation, it’s a ministerial responsibility and accountability, and the principle to upheld it with dignity and grace must be fully accorded without reservation if you must fulfill the purpose meaningfully.

It’s my prayers that you find grace, wisdom and speed in God’s presence and blessedness, as one set apart to meaningfully fulfil God’s cause and purpose, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have RECEIVED mercy, we FAINT NOT; 2 but have RENOUNCED the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness, nor HANDLING the word of God deceitfully; but by MANIFESTATION of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God . . . 5 For we PREACH NOT OURSELVES, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your SERVANTS for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS, that the EXCELLENCY OF THE POWER may be of God, and not of us . . .  16 For which cause we FAINT NOT; but though our OUTWARD MAN PERISH, yet the INWARD MAN IS RENEWED day by day. 17 For our LIGHT AFFLICTION, which is but for a moment, WORKETH FOR US a far MORE EXCEEDING AND ETERNAL weight of glory; 18 while we LOOK NOT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE SEEN, BUT AT THE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT SEEN: for the things which are SEEN ARE TEMPORAL; but the things which are NOT SEEN ARE ETERNAL” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

“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.

“So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME MORE THAN THESE? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY LAMBS. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, LOVEST THOU ME? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED MY SHEEP. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. 19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, FOLLOW ME” John 21:15-19.

SAME God – The God of The SEASONS: Living Beyond The Limitations Of The WEATHER!

“While the EARTH remaineth, SEEDTIME and HARVEST, and COLD and HEAT, and SUMMER and WINTER, and DAY and NIGHT shall not cease” Genesis 8:22.

Are you been limited by the various life seasons? Do you think the weather you find yourself is limiting you? Do you think the AUTUMN, WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER weathers are having effect on you? Probably the dry season alias HARMATTAN or RAINFALL seasons as in some areas are your problems? Probably the seasons of holidays as – CHRISTMAS, EASTER, SPECIAL GOVERNMENT HOLIDAYS, OTHER RELIGIOUS and NON-RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS and such like. Are they your profound noted and pointed asking for distress and worries?

Have you ever given a thought about the difference between the THERMOMETER and THERMOSTAT? That the first (THERMOMETER) absorb temperature of the surrounding weather to define itself while the second (THERMOSTAT) is not affected by the surrounding weather but instead detect and define its statesquo without external influence.

It thus mean therefore that your life DEFINITION are the choices that are within you – for you to either allow the Holy Spirit within you by God’s indwelling WORD to DEFINE you in order to thrive and be fruitful meaningfully and purposefully; and to fulfil who God have made you be in Christ Jesus stead; and that saves you, instead of making excuses and complaints of every weather and seasons to be your reason of subjection to the elements of this world – be it of natural causes, demonic causes, man-made and make-believe or other factors. The choice is always yours to RESPOND thoughtfully or otherwise REACT ignorantly.

The Almighty God, the creator of all weather and seasons changes not, and have made each to be fruitful, productive and fulfilling respectively. He made all things beautiful in creation and have planted within each man (non-gender) with eternity (eternal spirit) within to give the enabling to connect to God for the very best in life. You can either act correspondingly to THRIVE and be FULLFIL or be gazing at the weather and seasons as the DISCIPLES of Christ Jesus once did and do nothing until the seasons and weather overwhelmed you. And thereafter you can blame no one of your nonchalant behaviour and attitude (conduct) for gaze watching instead of exercising the will to create, innovate, explore and initiate your own path of happiness and FULFILMENT within God’s will of grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

I employ you today to wake up and determine not to allow any form of life weather and seasons to define you in becoming who you born of God to be in Christ Jesus stead in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and to day, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.

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

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a CHILD, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 but is UNDER tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, WERE IN BONDAGE UNDER THE ELEMENTS Of THE WORLD: 4 but when the FULNESS of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might RECEIVE the adoption of sons. 6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” Galatians 4:1-7.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS

By Leave a Comment

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!

Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decisions and actions you’ve made and are making in the cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that have befallen you in the cause of time or are befalling you now.

Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or were into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that make no difference.

You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus’ stead, has NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.

Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF-JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.

You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus’ stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.

I want you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of being negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.

Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to a higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.

You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be blessed accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom, and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW.  10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me!

“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

By Leave a Comment

THE KINGDOM DEMAND: “OCCUPY TILL I COME”!

“. . . 12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, OCCUPY TILL I COME . . .” Luke 19:11-27.

Enjoying the enabling grace in the faith of BEING BORN of God is only as authentic and effective and effectual, to as much as you choose and be determined to take a stand to ensure and be assured, that you give no room for fallacy and any contrary to stain and pollute your TESTIMONY of God in Christ Jesus stead.

The kingdom DEMAND for each one of the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”. It’s not an ADVICE to pick cherry and not of a choice to agree or disagree upon. It’s an ORDER, a COMMAND, a MANDATE and an ASSIGNMENT to be willingly obeyed if you and I must eat the good of the land as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead, Amen [Isaiah 1:19]. And because God in His word of instruction and command is not given to be a taskmaster, or burdensome, or irksome or grievous, He has already made available His enabling endowments to ensure and assure that obedience to His WORD gives peace and tranquility irrespective and without prejudice.

“For this is the love of God, that we KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS: and his commandments are not GRIEVOUS [BURDENSOME, IRKSOME, TASKMASTER]” 1 John 5:3.

The kingdom DEMAND as to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” in this context, is to ensure that you are not living less or out of what you ARE of God in Christ Jesus, in REDEMPTION, because you ARE His and the epistle that’s being seen and read of all men as written:

“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you? 2 Ye ARE our EPISTLE written in our hearts, KNOWN and READ of all men: 3 forasmuch as ye are MANIFESTLY declared to be THE EPISTLE of Christ MINISTERED by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” 2 Corinthians 3:1-3.

And as being God’s Epistle or open letter that’s being read and known of men in Christ Jesus, it’s imperative that you live to ensure and assure that the fulness of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS is at work upon your life in all wisdom in graciousnesss and gracefulness. And you are not undermined by any means by the bigots of religion and religiosity, sectarianism and denominationalism, traditional dogmas, creed, make belief and such like that makes the WORD of God of no effect in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Meaning, as an EPISTLE of  God to humanity, you ARE ensuring and assuring that you are STANDING uncompromisingly and unreservedly for who you ARE without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation by FAITH and not limited in this endowed GRACE to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” as one that’s:

** A NEW CREATION of God in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16]

** God’s AMBASSADOR/REPRESENTATIVES in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 5:20].

** A MORE than conquerors in Christ Jesus stead [Romans 8:37].

** An OVERCOMER in Christ Jesus stead [1 John 5:4-5; Revelation 12:11].

** VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus stead [1 Corinthians 15:57].

** TRIUMPHANT in Christ Jesus stead [2 Corinthians 2:14].

** REDEEMED in Christ Jesus stead [Colossians 1:12-14/Amplified; Ephesians 1:7; Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12]

** A CHOSEN GENERATION, a HOLY NATION, A PECULIAR PEOPLE etc in Christ Jesus stead [1 Peter 2:9-10].

** . . . and MANY SUCH LIKE . . . in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s your moment and time now, to take a gracious STAND, by standing in grace by faith of ensuring and assuring of who you ARE, AGAINST any onslaughts and anything that contradicts and goes contrary to your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus; and to take a stand against anything or forces as may be PERPETUATED by the enemy and cohorts of your FAITH; and against satanic cohorts interfering on you to intentionally and pragmatically take a stand in the grace to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”, as a demand of the kingdom.

“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.

For we live in the perilous times and days wherein the enemy and cohorts are out there as PERVERTERS of the Gospel – and we must vehemently resist their mode of operandi in everywhere by the WORD and in the leadership power of the Holy Spirit, to keep the FAITH wherein we stand by GRACE, ensure and assured for our good and our hearers. It’s time not to be complaining and arguing and lazing around sluggishly and slothfully with the enemy and cohorts, but to stand tall and be vigilant, to resist, and to earnestly contend in the faith by the grace in Christ Jesus, against all the onslaughts that’s outplaying to stop us from the kingdom mandate and demand to – “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

“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 [WHOLE, COMPLETE], STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10/Emphasis Mine.

“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.

“Beloved, when I gave all DILIGENCE to write unto you of the common salvation, it was NEEDFUL for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are CERTAIN MEN CREPT IN UNAWARES, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY men, turning the grace of our God into LASCIVIOUSNESS, and DENYING the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

When you ARE able to take your stand FOR your redemption REALITIES and take stand also AGAINST any form of the enemy and cohorts strategy and crafty acts of deception in grace by God in Christ Jesus, you ARE indeed living by the Kingdom demand to “OCCUPY TILL I COME”.

Therefore, raise your head up, shoulders high and walk on your high heels of FAITH by the GRACE wherein you STAND, by God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus, while enjoying the fulness and purpose to “OCCUPY TILL I COME” mandate.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

“Brethren, be FOLLOWERS together of me, and MARK them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that THEY ARE THE ENEMIES OF THE CROSS of Christ: 19 whose end is destruction, whose God is their BELLY, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 20 For our CONVERSATION is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to SUBDUE all things unto himself” Philippians 3:17-21.

It’s a high time to ensure and be assured that the man made-up and make-up belief and believes, traditions and erroneous deceit that have entangled many religiously in sectarianism and denominationalism, have no more setting, sitting and seating places in your path of DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL TRUTH – ABOUT THE CHURCH: YOU ARE THE CHURCH – THAT GOD IS BUILDING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life” Acts 5:20.

“Churches are not clubs for the perfect. They are clinics for the sick, the wounded, and the maimed, where those who are a bit stronger help those who are still weak. The forgiven forgive. The healed heal. The comforted comforted others. Those who have been picked up pick others up. God bless you” – Reinhard BONNKE, of Blessed Memory.

The Church gathering otherwise called “The Church”, is the collective home extension of the individual nucleus home respectively. It’s like a fuel filling and garage station for the fueling and refuelling, the repairs and repairing of the car, wherein you don’t run the car there but the car’s comes there to get energies and synergy’s before going to take a run on the road of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. And God is building His Church in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven . . .” Matthew 16:13-20.

For the Church is you – the individual, local and universal body of born-again Believers of God in Christ Jesus, filled by the Holy Spirit, living by the instructions of the unadulterated and authoritative WORD of God, and under a Pastoral Shepherd without prejudice. The Church is not a freelance person of freedom without a stand and guildrails, without order and decency, but under the guidance of spiritual leadership of the Holy Spirit. The Church is otherwise called the Body of Christ which you are a member in particular there to function and not as a structure.

“. . . 30 for we are MEMBERS of His BODY, of his flesh, and of his bones . . .” Ephesians 5:21-33.

“. . . 27 Now ye ARE the BODY of Christ, and MEMBERS in particular . . .” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.

I pray you won’t be the loosed end Believer’s in Christ Jesus, who is without knowledge and understanding of who you ARE on spiritual settings for the Church of God in Christ Jesus stead; more so, so that you can share in the fullness of the available and given grace that Christ Jesus, the head of the Church, has set out and bestowed for your BLESSEDNESS in Him accordingly. For you ARE His Church that He’s building, and as such is loved, glorious, holy, without blemish, and a mystery. [Ephesians 5:21-33].

Blessed regards in Christ Jesus stead, as you take your place and stands in the grace in doing life and living godly. Amen.

“Brethren, if a man be OVERTAKEN in a FAULT, ye which are SPIRITUAL, RESTORE such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself . . . 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” Galatians 6:1-10.

“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.

“But if any man seem to be CONTENTIOUS, we have no such CUSTOM [PRACTICE], neither the CHURCHES of God” 1 Corinthians 11:16/Emphasis Mine.

“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. 22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as THE CHURCH is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 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 5:21-33.

“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one member, but many. 15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? 17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. 19 And if they were all one member, where were the body? 20 But now are they many members, yet but one body. 21 And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you. 22 Nay, much more those members of the body, which seem to be more feeble, are necessary: 23 and those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked: 25 that there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. 26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular” 1 Corinthians 12:12-27.
