WELCOME TO MONTH APRIL 2024: MONTH OF BLESSEDNESS ENTITLED – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE”

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

The Month APRIL is the fourth month of the year of the Gregorian and Julian calendar. It’s the first of four months to have a length of 30 days, and the second of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. And month April is associated with springtime indicating – BLESSEDNESS, NEW BEGINNINGS, and a time to BLOSSOM, REFRESH and REJUVENATE, REKINDLE and MORE.

And as the Month April theme thus indicated the BLESSEDNESS of God, there’s the path to access and to have an entrance to the blessedness – which of cause, is a matter of BELIEVING – BECOMING A BELIEVING ONE, hence as a month associated with BLESSEDNESS, it’s entitled – “BLESSED ARE YOU – IF YOU CAN BELIEVE” even as Jesus put forth before the one in need of God’s BLESSEDNESS from Him. For it’s not by going to Church gathering services, being indoctrinated to a denominational creeds, bylaws, traditions and dogmas that ends up making the word of God of no effect – but it’s about our BELIEVE/BELIEVING, and in this case – SCRIPTURALLY, and it’s irrespective, and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. For when you WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] BELIEVE, you will also be WRONGLY [UNSCRIPTURALLY] ACTING in the name of FAITH and be held down there by the bondage of religion and religiosity at your own detriments.

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine UNBELIEF . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have DELIVERED: and MANY SUCH LIKE THINGS DO YE” Mark 7:12-13.

Most times, it’s not a matter of having faith or exercising FAITH but it’s a matter of – IF YOU ACTUALLY and GENUINELY BELIEVE on that which you ARE earnestly desiring of God and upon what SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT do you BELIEVE, to enable you to ACT upon by FAITH – wherein you can then please God and make Him cause His WORD to tangibly make out your reality in Him.

“But without FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

Often of the time, Jesus Christ will ask those looking up to Him for answers to their life questions in all respect – [Health, sickness, family, relationship, peace, security, prosperity, career, business, marriage, etc]; He wants to ensure for their own assurance, in order for them not to be confused and deceived by others afterwards of their BLESSEDNESS, hence sometimes He ensured by asking them – IF THEY DO BELIEVE TO OWN WHAT THEY BELIEVE HE CAN DO – especially on the request they are asking of Him; and this is to necessitate that they are not necessarily wanting an answer because of their desperation for an immediate solution; then disappear and appear again when there’s another life challenges without a steadfast believing stand in the faith. For many just wants solution to their life problems and hurdles and not necessarily because they BELIEVE in the services of God in scriptural context. For many WALKED AWAY from Christ Jesus in His humanity ministerial cause for human redemption, especially when matters of their BELIEVING of Him was challenged by the necessary scriptural context He put out before them. [Kindly read in full – John 6:1-71].

“. . . 26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye SEEK me, not because ye SAW [BELIEVE] the miracles, but because ye did EAT of the loaves, and were FILLED . . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent . . . 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life . . . 64 But there are some of you that BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who THEY WERE THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him . . . 66 From that time MANY OF HIS DISCIPLES WENT BACK, AND WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. 67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we BELIEVE AND ARE SURE that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:1-71. [Read it all in full]

For without believe or believing, it’s impossible to actualise the enabling faith upon the grace of God that brings about answers to human questions not only for the moment of needs but for the sustainability upon the scriptures. They’re many today who DO NOT BELIEVE in the genuity of Christ Jesus to have come in the flesh and even the fulness of our redemption by God in Christ Jesus. Hence, we are informed by the Scripture to mark and note this set of sectarian people, and to earnestly contend to stay secured on the FAITH we stand upon, against their UNBELIEF [UNBELIEVE, UNBELIEVING] sectarianism, which repercussions results from their WRONG [UNSCRIPTURAL] BELIEVE and BELIEVING foundation. [1 John 4:1-3; Jude 1:3-4; Galatians 1:6-9; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

For to BELIEVE is PASSIVE and to have FAITH is ACTIVE. Believe is like the default that ought to be there before the activation of faith for results to manifest or reveal tangibly. For FAITH is acting upon what you BELIEVE of God accordingly, to the scriptural context in used. For BLESSED is the one that BELIEVE first, then go to act upon as an act of FAITH, upon that scriptural context of believe – therein God will certainly do His will in His WORD – meaning, God will then perform His promise to them that BELIEVES on His possibility promise.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27 [Matthew 19:26].

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:37, 45.

So, that question or matters of life that you are bothered about and want an answer from God in Christ Jesus, do you actually BELIEVE that God can sorts it out for you without you with you having other plan B’s and second consideration thoughts and alternatives –  knowing that God searches the reins, hearts and thoughts of man [Jeremiah 17:10; Revelation 2:23; Romans 8:27], can you take a believing stand to the end, especially if it’s a matter that requires faith and patience to make it a reality? Can you be patience to wait, and will you wait through patience untill God’s promise comes to your reality for you?

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS [UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL] to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 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 [SLUGGISH, SLUGGARD], but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12.

POSSIBILITY and IMPOSSIBILITY is possible with God if you can BELIEVE. God knows how to make all things [good and bad, possible and impossible] to become possible – come to fruition in fulfilling His eternal plan, purpose and pursuit for you both in the now and tomorrow.

“And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] CAUSES ALL THINGS TO WORK TOGETHER [as a plan] for GOOD for those who love God, to those who are called according to His PLAN and PURPOSE” Romans 8:28/AMP.

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS FOR PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for disaster, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP.

Just know that to BELIEVE is personal, and it’s firstly to – ACKNOWLEDGED, OWNED, be CONVINCED and such like, thereby ensuring the enabling and needed scriptural context of FAITH to become activated for the reality and realisation of one’s desires in essence. And it’s in this context of acknowledging, owning and being personally convinced, that God is able to act, and to make all things both possible and impossible, to be all possible accordingly. [Hebrews 11:6; Mark 9:23-24].

And you must also come to realise, that, to BELIEVE ON Him and to BELIEVE IN Him are not the same but are both important in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that in this Month of BLESSEDNESS, you can believe God in Christ Jesus to be BLESSED accordingly.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.

“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.

“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER

By Leave a Comment

YOU CAN NOW LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER: THE RISEN POWER ENABLES YOU TO CREATE YOUR DESIRED WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – AMEN!

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11/Emphasis Mine.

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him.

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday comes and be gone, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUM was to end these three basics human failures in God at Adam of Eden – which is the consequence [effect] of SIN – the Sinful NATURE:

“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 5:21.

** Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

** Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

** Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

These aforementioned are the effect, result and consequences of human depraved state resulting from SIN – the SINFUL NATURE; and the SINFUL NATURE is due to the fall in Eden resulting the placement of Adamic curses – CURSED OF THE FALL [Genesis 3:1-24] which leads to the CURSED OF THE LAW [Deuteronomy 28:15-68]. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of SPIRITUAL DEATH brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE).

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in everyway of DOING LIFE [Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14].

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –

** that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – [Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10].

** You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – [Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3].

** There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – [John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20].

** There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – [Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10].

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rosed from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualize it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you.

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations [Romans 5:12-21]. May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2.

“. . . But if the Spirit of him that RAISED up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN YOU, he that RAISED up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:11-12.

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

IN REDEMPTION

By Leave a Comment

IN REDEMPTION: WE ARE FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED, RECEIVED [ACCEPTED] AND BLESSED!

Thank you, Father God, for what you’ve done for me and us, in your REDEMPTION for all humanity [mankind], in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS – WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED US to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS and CONVEYED US into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He CHOSE US in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having PREDESTINED US to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He MADE US accepted in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the RICHES of His grace 8 which He made to ABOUND TOWARD US in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having MADE KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL, according to His good pleasure which He PURPOSED in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11 In Him also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINED according to the PURPOSE of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:3-8/NKJV.

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace in which we stand, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2/NKJV.

“And from Jesus Christ, the FAITHFUL WITNESS, the FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD, and the RULER over the kings of the earth. To Him who LOVED US and WASHED US from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has MADE US kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be GLORY and DOMINION forever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6/NKJV.

“And they SANG A NEW SONG, saying: “You are WORTHY to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were SLAIN, And have REDEEMED US to God by Your blood Out of every TRIBE and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION, 10 And have MADE US kings and priests to our God; And we shall REIGN on the earth.” 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: “WORTHY IS THE LAMB who was SLAIN To RECEIVE POWER and RICHES and WISDOM, And STRENGTH and HONOR and GLORY and BLESSING!” Revelation 5:9-12/NKJV.

“But you ARE a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY NATION, His OWN SPECIAL PEOPLE, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who ONCE WERE NOT A PEOPLE but ARE NOW THE PEOPLE of God, who had NOT OBTAINED MERCY but NOW HAVE OBTAINED MERCY” 1 Peter 2:9-10/NKJV.

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH

By Leave a Comment

BLESSED REDEMPTION – EQUIPPING HIS CHURCH: HE GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS TO MEN!

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

Father God in Christ Jesus, GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to PERFECT – MATURE, COMPLETE, MAKE WHOLE and be the FULNESS of – His people spiritually as found but not limited, in the scriptures of [Ephesians 4:7-16]. These MINISTERIAL GIFTS are: APOSTLES, PROPHETS, EVANGELISTS, PASTORS and TEACHERS and such like as may be found in the Holy Writ of – [Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:28-31].

I want you to KNOW and UNDERSTAND for sure that God didn’t give His MINISTERIAL GIFTS to them to LEGISLATE spirituality to His Church in Christ Jesus stead. For He has GIVEN His Church, the you, the HOLY SPIRIT to HELP His Church, the you, that He’s building, with the enabling endowment and enduement to help ENACT, AUTHENTICATE and ENSURE His WORD that comes by the GIVEN ministerial gifts, is in His LOVE and goodwill to PERFECT – MATURE, COMPLETE, MAKE WHOLE AND FULNESS – His Church in His KINGDOM CAUSE and PURPOSE. [Romans 5:5; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5; Philippians 1:15-18; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11-12].

Hence, none should be CONFUSED or be LORD-OVER in any form of LEGISLATION in the name of spirituality in Christ Jesus, which leads to BONDAGES, RELIGIOUS DOGMAS, MAN-MADE MAKE-BELIEVE and DENOMINATIONAL FALSEHOODS and DOCTRINAL INDOCTRINATION, that then becomes a will-worship of men traditions, thereby making the WORD of God of no effect as others have been subjected to incline toward. [Colossians 2:1-23; Mark 7:7-9; Matthew 15:5-9].

In COURSE and CAUSE of our PASSOVER, our Saviour-King and Lord – Jesus Christ, did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for us in His REDEMPTION DEED, He also GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to us, to enhance and enable the building up to maturity and perfection of His Church, in the fulfilment to His own given eternal PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT without sentiment, prejudice and dissimulation.

For in Christ Jesus we ARE REDEEMED, we ARE BEING REDEEMED and we SHALL BE REDEEMED. It thus indicates the essence of us being GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS to help us live meaningfully, purposefully And fulfilling as His Church, in order to display His glory and wisdom on Earth.

Hence the need to know full well that when Jesus led captivity captive, He did not only RECEIVED GIFTS for men but He also GAVE GIFTS to men to fulfill Father God’s intent for His people in order for them to walk in KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Him and to be secured from falsehood, adulteration, alteration and ignorance that the ENEMY and COHORTS of our FAITH in Christ Jesus will Pose. Meaning the GIVEN MINISTERIAL GIFTS was and is to EQUIP HIS CHURCH. Anything contrary is not just BONDAGE but FALSEHOOD and MAN-MADE MAKE BELIEVE leading to HELL. Hence I love this AUTHOR UNKNOWN publication writ, which reads:

“BUILDING the CHURCH merely on MIRACLES makes the Church a SUPERMARKET: people come and shop for their miracles and leave”

“If you BUILD the CHURCH merely on HEALING you make the Church a HOSPITAL: People come to be HEALED and leave”

“And if you BUILD the CHURCH merely on the PROPHETIC, you make the Church a PSYCHIC and DIVINATION CENTRE: People come to be READ and leave”

“BUT if you BUILD the Church PURELY as A WORD BASED CHURCH, every other thing people seek naturally just happens”

Hence, I would commend us to Apostle Paul counsel in the graciousness and gracefulness of the Scriptures as it’s written:

“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.

Dear friend, know for sure that Jesus GAVE MINISTERIAL GIFTS to FEED God’s people with KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING, thereby to EDIFY,  PERFECT and MATURE His people spiritually. So if you must go to a place of fellowship and worship, ENSURE your total well-being in Christ is going to such in place or platform as found in the scriptures as written:

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

To authenticate the Church position, God EQUIP His CHURCH by giving MINISTERIAL GIFTS to MEN; this is in order to ensure and assure of the wholeness of our Blessed REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

“Now he which STABLISHETH us with you in Christ, and hath ANOINTED us, is God; 22 who hath also Sealed us, and GIVEN the earnest of the Spirit in our HEARTS” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.

 “Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath GIVEN unto us the EARNEST of the Spirit” 2 Corinthians 5:5.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the KNOWLEDGE of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT man, unto the MEASURE of the STATURE of the fulness of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no MORE CHILDREN, TOSSED TO and FRO, and carried about with EVERY WIND of DOCTRINE, by the SLEIGHT of men, and CUNNING CRAFTINESS, whereby they lie in wait to DECEIVE; 15 but SPEAKING the TRUTH in LOVE, may GROW UP into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in LOVE” Ephesians 4:7-16.

THE PASSOVER

By Leave a Comment

THE PASSOVER: EXPRESSING THE GENUINE BIBLE LOVE – LAYING YOUR LIFE DOWN FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS AS JESUS DID!

Genuine Bible LOVE can be known. It thus mean, genuine LOVE of God in Christ Jesus can be known. It’s real, tangible, intentional, unconditional, without dissimilation, without hypocrisy and such like. The outworking of genuine Bible love that is KNOWN, is as SCRIPTURALLY attested to by Apostle John and it’s as written:

“By this we KNOW love, because He LAID down His life for us. And we also ought to LAY down our lives for the brethren” 1 John 3:16.

Therefore, God’s love is born in our HEARTS by the REDEMPTION done did of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. And the week and weekend of PASSOVER is our best time and moment to awaken God’s LOVE in our being, as we do life and live godly in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in our REDEMPTION.

Blessed regards in God’s LOVE in redemption for us.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us. 6 For when we were yet WITHOUT strength, in due time Christ DIED for the UNGODLY. 7 For SCARCELY for a RIGHTEOUS man will one die: yet peradventure for a GOOD man some would even dare to die. 8 But God COMMENDETH his LOVE toward us, in that, WHILE we were yet SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5-8.

“This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man LAY DOWN his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” John 15:12-14.

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having LOVED his own which were in the world, he LOVED them unto the END . . . 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” John 13:1, 34-35.

“Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. FOR EVEN CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US” 1 Corinthians 5:7.

THE HOLY BIBLE – The Timeless Time Book of RECORDS: Embrace It – Love It – Read It – You Will Be Fulfilled!

“By faith [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the WORLDS (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible” Hebrews 11:3 AMPLIFIED.

The precious Holy BIBLE is my TIMELESS Book of life for the TIME World, which I term as B-I-B-L-E: ‘Blessed Information Bringing Life Eternal’. Which I hereby recommend highly to you in everyway to enable you DO LIFE and LIVE GODLY.

The Holy Bible – Is the Timeless Writ For our time Generation and Dispensation – and it’s Informative for your Transformation. Get a copy and study it – it will build up in God and gives you access to God’s given inheritance and godly way to do life in the world.

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is able to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 AMPLIFIED.

In various multimedia formats and individuals conversations today, you can hear people saying we are in 21st century, and as such we should do away with some sorts in the Bible because it conflict with their current time and momentum in life, which is just to suit their selfish, popular choices and demonic and lustful intents.

And even in some ungodly minded government and churches quarters have dive into discussing matters within the Bible they should be completely be far away from, simply because they wants to please self and popular choices to keep their votes and job; and as such are not necessarily or of necessity, seeing the divinity of the Holy Writ – The HOLY BIBLE which is The TIMELESS WORD of God and ANSWERS to the TIME World of today and tomorrow.

Surely today, at various levels, the individual or collective instigators are paying for the price of this errors everyday and everyway which some people ignorantly overlooked. Look at nations, churches and individuals involved, their days are numbered with the DIVINE WORD of God judgement on them with the nature of conflicts as to hunger, war, terrorism, natural and unnatural pandemic sicknesses and diseases, bad governance and decisions, amidst with some terrible natural and human causes to deal with now and then.

May I inform all with such adulterated prejudice and sentiments and dissimulation, that the BIBLE is a timeless record of God’s intent to all mankind for all ages. It’s as relevant today as it was yesterday and will be same tomorrow, in spite of individual or collective force against it.

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the COMPLETENESS of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], EXPOSING and JUDGING the very THOUGHTS and INTENTIONS of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13 AMPLIFIED.

You need  to know that OTHER BOOKS YOU READ, but the BIBLE READS YOU, and it’s the ONLY Book that the Author is always present as you read to give you knowledge and understanding of its content and context. That is the mark difference in all too. It may seems a mystery book, but it’s not mystical. It’s not a book you conjure but a book you do life with,  because it’s a timeless practicable book; and its revealing, inspiring and Empowering to those who looks up to it.

You can either love it or hate it. It does not need my help or any to defend it’s purpose. May I remind you that it is a two-edged tool to work for the good of all that loves it and to work against all that hates it’s appearances.

I urge you to choose and love the Timeless Holy Book call – BIBLE, for your own good.

Let The Holy Writ – The TIMELESS WORD For The TIME World – The HOLY BIBLE – Answers To Your QUEST Today – You Will Found FULFILMENT In Every way. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – No WEAPON Form Against PROSPERS

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION – No WEAPON Form Against PROSPERS: When You Are ESTABLISHED In RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“[After all] the KINGDOM of God is not a matter of [getting the] FOOD and DRINK [one likes], but instead it is RIGHTEOUSNESS (that state which makes a person ACCEPTABLE to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 He who SERVES Christ in this way is ACCEPTABLE and PLEASING to God and is APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/AMP Classic Edition.

In RIGHTEOUSNESS – the right standing of acceptance by God in Christ Jesus, is your DEFENCE for DELIVERANCE in times of trouble waters. It thus indicates that our right standing with God is prominently important to earn the leverage in all battles for our onward and upward trajectory in our redemption in Christ Jesus stead.

“Riches PROFIT not in the DAY of wrath: but RIGHTEOUSNESS DELIVERETH from death. 5 The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the perfect shall DIRECT his way: but the wicked shall fall by his own wickedness. 6 The RIGHTEOUSNESS of the UPRIGHT shall DELIVER them: but TRANSGRESSORS shall be taken in their own naughtiness” Proverbs 11:4-6.

Therefore, it’s important to ensure and be assured that you are standing on your God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus and not on your own man-made make-belief, religious indoctrination, denominational – dogmas , bye laws, creeds and such like, if you must walk by faith in the standing grace of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as you go about doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

I wish you God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in His RIGHTEOUSNESS for your today and tomorrow in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 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.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33.

“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 5:21.

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption” 1 Corinthians 1:30.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

GUARD SEX SACREDNESS

By Leave a Comment

GUARD SEX SACREDNESS: IT ENHANCES THE COVENANT OF GRACE IN MARRIAGE!

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN, And RUNNING WATER from your OWN WELL” Proverbs 5:15 NKJV.

“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).

SEX they say – is it of God? YES – IT’S OF GOD! It’s a godly, pleasurable act in enhancing and enacting to strengthen the covenant of grace in marriage. It’s intent is more than just for pleasure and procreation purpose only. Knowingly or unknowingly – it has DIVINE purpose and implications affecting our very LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Hence don’t fall into the hands of God’s ANGER which could be a SCARE in all your act of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“It is a FEARFUL and TERRIFYING thing to fall into the hands of the living God [incurring His judgment and wrath]” Hebrews 10:31 Amplified.

In accessing SEX outside the MARITAL CONTEXT for CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX, is not just only about it been a SIN, it thus hindered the ACT to ENACT the DIVINE plan, purpose and pursuit in one’s life; and it switched off communion of an effectual walk with God in all that pertains to one in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead; and it makes you vulnerable, PREY and defenseless in everyway if you intend to have God as your shield and defence.

IT’S A CHOICE IN LIFE TO SAY YES OR SAY NO TO SEX GRATIFICATION OUTSIDE MARRIAGE:

** TO SAY YES IS TO GIVE IN FOR SELF GRATIFICATION AND FACE THE CONSEQUENCES – ARE YOU TRULY READY?

** TO SAY NO TO SELF GRATIFICATION IS TO HAVE DIVINE INTENT IN ALL YOUR DOING IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING – DON’T YOU LOVE IT?

If you intend achieving the DIVINE INTENT of God therefore, then FLEE from all its appearances at any form or formats and PATIENTLY WAIT for your MARITAL SET TIME in grace; and if married, DIGNIFY your marital covenant of grace and ABSCOND from extramarital acts and abuses. COLOUR YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – IN PURITY OF HEARTS, THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND IN ACTS.

HENCE I SAY: SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“HONOUR MARRIAGE, and GUARD THE SACREDNESS of sexual intimacy between wife and husband. God draws a FIRM LINE against CASUAL and ILLICIT SEX” Hebrews 13:4 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Now, getting down to the questions you asked in your letter to me. First, Is it a good thing to have sexual relations? 2-6 Certainly—but only within a certain context. It’s good for a man to have a wife, and for a woman to have a husband. SEXUAL DRIVES ARE STRONG, but MARRIAGE is STRONG enough to CONTAIN them and provide for a BALANCED and FULFILLING sexual life in a world of sexual disorder. The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality—the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to “stand up for your rights.” Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out. Abstaining from sex is permissible for a period of time if you both agree to it, and if it’s for the purposes of prayer and fasting—but only for such times. Then come back together again. Satan has an ingenious way of tempting us when we least expect it. I’m not, understand, commanding these periods of abstinence—only providing my best counsel if you should choose them” 1 Corinthians 7:1—6 (Message Bible – MSG).

“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.

“For the GRACE of God has APPEARED that offers salvation to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to say “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT AGE, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. ENCOURAGE and REBUKE with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“Drink WATER from your OWN CISTERN [of a pure marriage relationship] And FRESH running WATER from your OWN WELL. 16  Should your springs (children) be dispersed, As streams of water in the streets? 17 [Confine yourself to your own wife.] Let your children be yours alone, And not the children of strangers with you. 18  Let your FOUNTAIN (WIFE) be blessed [with the rewards of fidelity], And rejoice in the wife of your youth” Proverbs 5:15-18 AMPLIFIED.

“Drink water from your OWN well— share your love only with YOUR wife” Proverbs 5:15 NLT.

“Therefore, if anyone CLEANSES himself from these things [which are dishonorable—disobedient, sinful], he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified [set apart for a special purpose and], useful to the Master, prepared for every good work. 22 RUN AWAY FROM YOUTHFUL LUSTS—PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS, FAITH, LOVE, AND PEACE with those [believers] who call on the Lord out of a PURE heart. 23 But have nothing to do with foolish and ignorant speculations [useless disputes over unedifying, stupid controversies], since you know that they produce strife and give birth to quarrels” 2 Timothy 2:21-23 Amplified.

“But the one who is UNITED and JOINED to the Lord is ONE spirit with Him. 18 RUN AWAY FROM SEXUAL IMMORALITY [in any form, whether thought or behavior, whether visual or written]. Every other sin that a man commits is OUTSIDE the body, but the one who is sexually immoral sins AGAINST his own body. 19 Do you not know that your body is a TEMPLE of the Holy Spirit who is within you, whom you have [received as a gift] from God, and that you are not your own [property]?” 1 Corinthians 6:17-19 Amplified.

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD?

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

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

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the PLEASING of God.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:6.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they – the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask.  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:

Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:

“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE,  PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

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

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 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.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.
