POSSIBILITIES2021: YOU ARE BORN OF GOD TO THRIVE IN GRACE AND FAITH – YOU ARE NOT BORN TO SURVIVE IN LIFE – IT’S YOUR CHOICE TO MAKE!

I make bold to say that no matter your SITUATION and CIRCUMSTANCES in life today, you are not a SURVIVAL in Christ Jesus; YOU are BORN of God to THRIVE, soaring and gliding in VICTORY, DOMINION and POSSIBILITIES by THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus in you. However, in all, it is your CHOICE and TIME to step up in GRACE and FAITH to make you BECOME; and to take on WHATSOEVER, in order to BECOME what you are BORN of God and QUALIFIED of God in Christ Jesus stead as per this wise:

* It’s your time to ARISE on the WIND – The Holy Spirit – to take to flight as the Eagle in turning your life around as God did at the beginning of time on the Earth FORMLESS and VOID World!

* It’s time to SET your life to THRIVE, to have a colourful world, create the atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and to LIVE FULFILLED.

* It’s your YEAR of living in the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – the Greater, Thriving, Colourful, Meaningful, Purposeful and Fulfilling Life.

There are QUESTIONS to think through and ANSWER here: Are you struggling to Pray? Are you struggling to Read and Study God’s WORD? And is your life being without form and void? Are you just SURVIVING instead of THRIVING in grace? What do you think is the reason for your stalemate and pain? You can turn your limitations around in God’s grace by faith on His infinite wisdom and power (Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 2:1-5).

 I hereby announce to you that there’s HOPE in life today and there’s a MIRACLE of change for you, but its your CHOICE to step up in FAITH in order to DO LIFE in God’s way. I wants you to know that when God SAW that the situation and circumstances about Him on earth was WITHOUT FORM and VOID, He determine to make the difference that suits His intent. That is, to CREATE the ATMOSPHERE He wants to see and enjoy and be fulfilled to behold. He didn’t sit back, this is what and how He did to make His desire become tangible and a reality:

* He did not choose to SURVIVE it or ADAPT to it.

* He took RECOGNITION of the presence of our HELPER, the creative Holy Spirit – Genesis 1:2; Jude 20; Romans 8:16-17 Amplified.

* He chose to THRIVE, hence made a conscious, gracious and an intentional declaration to create the atmosphere He loves and wants to see irrespective of the STATEMENTS and SITUATIONS about Him. Genesis 1; Luke 4:22; Hebrews 10:23; Revelation 12:11; Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

* He spoke graciously to CAUSE to BECOME what He wants and needed to BECOME and it was good and very good indeed. Genesis 1; Proverbs 12:14; 15:23; 18:20-21; 16:24; Romans 10:9-10; Hebrews 10:23; Like 4:22.

Today! When you chose to PRAY and make DECLARATION and ACT ACCORDINGLY by faith on God’s word, by the LEADING of the Holy Spirit, your CHANGE will assuredly come in Jesus name. Amen. And you will cease to SURVIVE and LIVE by what your circumstances wants you to see, and you will begin to LIVE and THRIVE by what you DESIRED of God to see by the eyes of THE POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT and GREATER LIFE within you – Mark 9:23; Matthew 19:26; 1 John 4:4-6; Hebrews 10:23; Romans 10:8-13.

This is the how to kick start to stop the life of STRUGGLING or SURVIVING through the PRAYER WALK of grace and faith; and to turn your NULL, FORMLESS and VOID circumstantial WORLDS into a THRIVING sphere that will be BLOSSOMING, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL and FULFILLING.

DO CHOOSE TO MAKE A NEW START TODAY.

I pray that by God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS you will live and soar in POSSIBILITIES, DOMINION and EXALTATION as the Eagle with spirit of THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

ENABLING THE GRACE FOR YEAR2021

By Leave a Comment

ENABLING THE GRACE FOR YEAR2021: It’s In Your PRIMARY And PURPOSEFUL Call!

The enabling GRACE for you to do life and live godly in YEAR2021, is in your PRIMARY and PURPOSEFUL call in life. That is to be WITH the LORD, wherein you will be EMPOWERED in Him in order to ACHIEVE, SUCCEED and be FULFILLED with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM And SPEED.

Beloved friend, you don’t need to be in a rush to enter Year2021 and start marking unfounded New Year RESOLUTIONS and PRONOUNCEMENTS that you can’t even keep beyond few days or weeks or months afterwards.

Herein are some matters to consider carefully to curb these unnecessary artificial display that makes no impart and impact to your well-being in Christ Jesus stead.

FIRSTLY, It’s a high time you need to take STOCK and INVENTORY of your life in YEAR2020 that’s about ending, before taking on YEAR2020. This you do in these wise as an example:

** All those your SELF-WILLED power of rushing hours into your day before its dawn, has it made any difference in you without stress instead of God’s promised rest?

** Those your lengthy days of UNENDING FASTING to prove HOW SPIRITUAL YOU ARE, has it made any remarkable difference in you? Or was it a statuesque to keep, though its a hunger strike and pride in disguise, but you just called it FASTING to make it seem spiritual?

** Have you not wonder that God wants you to THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL? And not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL? And to live in LEISURE and PLEASURE, and not in PRESSURE or STRESS? And noting especially all the HARDWORK instead of SMARTWORK you claimed to put in each day to make life WORTH LIVING?

SECONDLY, this is my take on you because I can’t help not seeing you THRIVE, BLOSSOM and be COLOURFUL in God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS; instead of seeing you a SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL as some have acclaimed to be their terms of living; also, my knowing full well that from your first primary call to SALVATION in Christ Jesus, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed and triumph, especially as such a time as this with YEAR2020 closing down and YEAR2021 starting up.

It’s your TIME To Be With The LORD to receive what it TAKES to make LIFE WORTH LIVING instead of DOING Nothing and just watching the day or YEAR2020 go bye into YEAR 2021 new start.

All I am saying is that it’s a good time NOT to start asking or making demands, but to just be with Father God in the name of Jesus – by ONLY and SOLELY MINISTERING to Him and Enjoying His presence. It is in this act THEN He can EMPOWER you and SEND you FORTH into YEAR2021 with His GRACE, MERCY, LOVE, PEACE, WISDOM and SPEED in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. This will enable you to DO all your LIFE and GRACE endeavours and bidding without fail, stress and sweat.

I wants to promise you, you’ll live in REST and LEISURE, that is – stress free, sweat free, pressure and worry free, as you are SENT from God’s PRESENCE than when you are a mere WISHY-WASHY GOER on self designed and proclaim ambitions outside God in His Christ Jesus. You need to DERIVE strenght from the Lord and in the power of His might to make life a LIVING WORTH.

I sincerely beg you of the need to learn and apply this SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLE to all you do in life:

** You are saved and called PRIMARILY and PURPOSEFULLY to be with Father God in Christ Jesus; it’s therein He EMPOWERS you to SUCCEED and be FULFILLED in life. This is what and how Jesus Christ did life in grace with Father God in humanity and has left us as example for us to learn of Him towards the Father God. Amen.

In Summary – We are

** We are SAVED and CALLED – To Be With Him!

** We are then EMPOWERED – To Thrive, Succeed and be Fulfilled by God’s Speed

** We are then ENDOWED with Grace, Wisdom And Speed – to makes all the DIFFERENCE with God

** We have the RESULTANT effects with Rest, Leisure And Pleasure in Christ Jesus – just as we are PROMISED and not Stress, worry (anxiety), Pressure in walking in our own efforts.

“And God said unto Jacob, ARISE, GO UP TO BETH-EL, AND DWELL THERE: AND MAKE THERE AN ALTAR UNTO GOD, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3 AND LET US ARISE, AND GO UP TO BETH-EL; AND I WILL MAKE THERE AN ALTAR UNTO GOD, WHO ANSWERED ME IN THE DAY OF MY DISTRESS, AND WAS WITH ME IN THE WAY WHICH I WENT. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob . . . 9 AND GOD APPEARED UNTO JACOB AGAIN, when he came out of Padan-aram, AND BLESSED HIM. 10 AND GOD SAID UNTO HIM, THY NAME IS JACOB: THY NAME SHALL NOT BE CALLED ANY MORE JACOB, BUT ISRAEL SHALL BE THY NAME: AND HE CALLED HIS NAME ISRAEL. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 12 and the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 15 And JACOB CALLED THE NAME OF THE PLACE WHERE GOD SPAKE WITH HIM, BETH-EL . . .” Genesis 35:1-29.

PRECIOUS STONES – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE

By Leave a Comment

PRECIOUS STONES – FOR BEAUTY AND GRACE: YOUR PRECIOUS FAITH WITH PRECIOUS PROMISES ARE FOR YOUR BEAUTY AND GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

As PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike are for Value, Beauty and Grace, in same like is our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES, to Decorate and Beautify and Colour and Add Value to our Worlds, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

To be PRECIOUS is to be upheld in high esteem. It thus mean to be loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such like.

PRECIOUS STONES is a name that is usually used in reference to four types of GEMS: Amongst DIFFERENT GEMS, there are only four PRECIOUS STONES – RUBY, SAPPHIRE, EMERALD and DIAMOND. And these PRECIOUS GEMSTONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, and Emeralds, are highly valued for their IMMENSE RARITY and HIGH-END BEAUTY, hence are known as PRECIOUS STONES. And with all the devaluation and falls in economic downturn and meltdown of most goods and services, the WORTH and PRICE tagged of PRECIOUS STONES have remained steadily steady and at high-end in many respects. Simply for the RARITY, BEAUTY, ADDED COLOUR and TAGGED VALUE that are attached on it. Yet they are perishable in Scriptural terms and Truth. None of any in WORTH possession can REDEEM a soul or gives LIFE and GODLY LIVING to anyone apart from the wealth value attached – (Haggai 2:8; Psalms 49:6-9; 1 Kings 10; 1 Chronicles 29; 2 Chronicles 9; 2 Timothy 2:20; 1 Corinthians 3:12).

Unlike the earthly PRECIOUS STONES that are perishable in Scriptural terms, we have OBTAINED imperishable PRECIOUS FAITH through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. Not only have we obtained PRECIOUS FAITH, we have also been endowed with God’s PRECIOUS PROMISES in His BLESSEDNESS for us in Christ Jesus stead. What an awesome people we are to go therefore and decorate, colour and beautify our worlds of doing life and living godly with God’s graciousness and gracefulness of a PRECIOUS FAITH based and endowed on a PRECIOUS PROMISES. All this is made possible depending on HOW much VALUE you’ve attached to your PRECIOUS FAITH in terms of been – eternal, priceless, rare, loved, beloved, cherished, darling, dearly prized, valued, treasured, adored, dearest, hallowed, venerated, revered, respected and many such likes.

Also, our Christ Jesus is described as being our imperishable PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE; and by Him we’ve been MADE a LIVELY STONES in GRACE, wherein we are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. And by our PRECIOUS and LIVING STONE Jesus Christ, we also have become a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that are designated to shew forth the praises of him who had called us out of the darkness of this world into his marvellous light of GLORY, MAJESTY, BEAUTY and HONOUR.

Therefore, as PRECIOUS STONES – Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, Emeralds and alike, are for beauty, wealth and grace; much more our PRECIOUS FAITH with PRECIOUS PROMISES are to Decorate, Beautify And Colour our Worlds in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

I pray you BECOME what God’s WORD says you are, and thereby ‘Decorate, Beautify and Colour Your Worlds In FAITH’, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have OBTAINED like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath CALLED US TO GLORY AND VIRTUE: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED THE CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:1-4

“For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is” 1 Corinthians 3:11-13.

“Nevertheless, the FOUNDATION OF GOD STANDETH SURE, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 20 But in a great house there are not only VESSELS of GOLD AND OF SILVER, but also of WOOD and of EARTH; and some to HONOUR, and some to DISHONOUR. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” 2 Timothy 2:19-21.

“To whom coming, as unto a LIVING STONE, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and PRECIOUS, 5 ye also, as LIVELY STONES, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which believe he is PRECIOUS: but unto them which be disobedient, THE STONE which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and A STONE of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

UNDERSTANDING In The GRACE – The leverage To Be – ABOVE ONLY

UNDERSTANDING In The GRACE – The leverage To Be – ABOVE ONLY: It Gives The Needed Altitude To OUTSMART Your TEACHERS And TEXTBOOKS!

I don’t know who has been your TEACHER, INSTRUCTOR, MENTOR and what kind of ANCIENTS (Books, Biography) you have read or reading or understudy or understudying at this moment, but I have miniature short story of life at sunrise to sunset as a teen.

Growing up, I hear this continuous phrase that our children should be better than us and they should outsmart one in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For this cause most parents I know work so hard to ensure that their children become exactly that in many ways, though most of the bulk lies on the Child/Children to become what they are purported to be in many ways too.

I remember while getting set for my secondary, my Dad of blessed memory called me to his bedroom one early morning which is unusual, to give me an instruction to greatness in my life. He called me many times by my name and asked me, how many times did he call me. Then said, what’s my family name. I answered him accordingly. He said that as I leave to the Boarding School, I should not forget my name and family name. Meaning, live up to it and ABOVE ALL, I should ensure to be better of than he is. Meaning, it’s my RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY to BECOME. I heard him well. And INDEED.

And as a young teenage that have accepted Christ then, the only thing I could hear within, supposedly by the Holy Spirit then, was to be PRINCIPLED in my PATH in order to evade distractions and then become. And out of my given pocket spending while in boarding school, I bought extra textbook or workbook way beyond what the school recommended in syllabus to top up my intent in GRACE. It was not necessarily as I recall now and as then to meet up with my loving Dad intents or demands, but to ensure that I don’t jeopardize my FAITH in Christ Jesus by being a FAILURE or FAILING student, who then have to live on the mercy of my TEACHERS or TUTORS. I wanted to be ABOVE ONLY. And it paid off. Am grateful to Dad. Thank you God.

Overtime, my class Tutor, will call me to give my classmates teaching classes while away for staff meeting to keep ORDER and DECENCY in the classroom. And my classmates were so surprised of such accord by the Classroom Tutor, that two of them came to my hostel and stole away my gifted Bible by my Uncle Austin, as a measure to deter me. Thank God one of them gave his life to Christ Jesus afterwards and now Pastor a Church to God’s glory. Also, during classes, I will ask my Tutors of various interest subjects, questions that they were wandering and wondering how manage and how come if I am using same teaching syllabus materials as others. They NEVER knew that I have read in my Bible – Psalms 119:97-100 of what I can be if I give in to channel my life by God’s WORD. The Psalmist Scripture is the consequence of my KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of Proverbs 22:29 and Proverbs 21:31. And ever since, I knew that by the SCRIPTURES, I could be tailored to OUTSMART my TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT – (written records set before time by others in books and other life format) if I will in my subject of interest. Simply because, life is dynamic and evolves in different ways to answer the QUEST of humanity. The rest today is history to God’s eternal glory. Amen.

I have share the above foretaste to let you know and understand that you can OUTSMART your TEACHERS, INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS and the ANCIENT in that trade and field of ENDEAVOURS, if you give yourself to the UNDERSTANDING of that SUBJECT in question. I know God’s WORD works for all who will DILIGENTLY with gracious delight look up to it as the WISDOM NUGGETS in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Therefore, in all your getting, get UNDERSTANDING in the light of the Scriptures on that Trade, Family, Marriage, Business, Career, Leadership, Enterprise and such likes. This is to enhance the BEST of God in you TANGIBLE, LIVEABLE and COMPREHENSIBLE as desired in the LIGHT of the SCRIPTUES. God’s WORD works today and it’s more ASSURED now than ever before.

“O how love I thy law! it is my MEDITATION all the day. 98 Thou through thy commandments hast MADE ME WISER than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. 99 I have more UNDERSTANDING than all my TEACHERS: for thy testimonies are my meditation. 100 I UNDERSTAND more than THE ANCIENTS, because I keep thy precepts” Psalms 119:97-100.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS; he shall not STAND before MEAN MEN” Proverbs 22:29.

“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.

WISDOM NUGGETS: In The GRACE To STAND And BECOME

WISDOM NUGGETS: In The GRACE To STAND And BECOME: The Essence For – ZEAL/PASSION, KNOWLEDGE And UNDERSTANDING!

It’s high time to desire the PRINCIPAL thing. That is, to seek for WISDOM in ones PASSION, and the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING in it, to do LIFE and GODLY LIVING. For therein is the PATH to GRACIOUSNESS and GRACEFULNESS.

“If any of you LACK WISDOM, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ASK IN FAITH, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” James. 1:5-8.

Herein for your perusal to think and ponder upon are takes on – PASSION/ZEAL, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING:

PASSION/ZEAL:

***PASSION, meaning Zeal, strong feeling or intensely emotional about something, is a vitality to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. ZEAL – otherwise passion is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – full of foolishness and frustration. Hence a mere passion or being passionate or zealous about something, is not enough to carry one through in life’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. One needs KNOWLEDGE to enhance the PASSION or ZEAL to a fruitful end.

It thus also means, being passionate about somethings as: Career, Marriage, Relationship, Skill, Trade, Governance, Leadership, Ministry and more, can only be meaningful when there’s an added KNOWLEDGE to such desired PASSION. And is simply as written for our knowing:

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a ZEAL (PASSION) of God, but not according to KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” Romans 10:1-4 (Emphasis Mine).

KNOWLEDGE:

***KNOWLEDGE is not very appreciated until you’ve experience effect of IGNORANCE. It’s very vital in our cause to life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT to enhance one’s endeavours with the required or expected KNOWLEDGE for proficiency and for effectual and efficient results.

It thus means that, as good as KNOWLEDGE is important, it is not enough except there’s an UNDERSTANDING to that KNOWLEDGE in order to make it meaningful. A mere KNOWLEDGE without UNDERSTANDING puffed (PRIDES) up and it’s dangerous. And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. It’s for the limitations, there’s the need to add understanding to one’s knowledge even as it’s written:

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. KNOWLEDGE PUFFED UP, but charity edifieth. 2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him” 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 (Emphasis Mine).

UNDERSTANDING:

***UNDERSTANDING what you KNOW and PASSIONATE about is the key to WISDOM for one’s life PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Hence where ZEAL (passion) and KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are together, therein is the WISDOM to do life and much more, the WISDOM to be accomplished and fulfilled in life, will always show up.

For until one UNDERSTANDS full well what one is KNOWLEDGEABLE and PASSIONATE about, there will be life struggle to a THRIVING, COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL and FULFILMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Hence, the need to get UNDERSTANDING as it’s written:

“WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and WITH ALL THE GETTING GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging, Rough, Struggling)” Proverbs 13:15.

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Unproductive, Ignorant, Foolish, Unwise)” Proverbs 21:16.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

UNDERSTANDING To PROFIT In The GRACE

UNDERSTANDING To PROFIT In The GRACE: Get The UNDERSTANDING In ALL Your KNOWING And PASSION!

I have always said, and will always say: Until You Understand What You Claim To Know Or To Have Known In Any Matter Of Life And Godliness, You Are Not Better Than The Ignorant and the unwise fool.

Having an idea is good, understanding your idea is another ball game. I have seen the assumed rich fall from the penthouse glory to be a beggar and have seen the one time poverty stricken rise to grace from grass. All because the assume rich just landed into wealth by a mere knowledge and zeal without understanding the take and know-how to sustain the position; while the once poverty stricken took to knowledge know-how along with understanding of the journey, arrives there, lives to sustain it, in spite of all changes in weather conditions.

Knowing your spouse is good, but if you don’t understand each other, there’s going to be a bomb explosion one day.

Being educated in a career or trade is good, but not understanding your career or trade will cause you a problem to yourself and to others probably one day.

Being a Gospel Minister is a gracious privilege. But not understanding the etiquette of being a Shepherd of looking well over God’s heritage will make you a hypocrite and wolf in sheep clothing.

Being a leader or in government or position of making decision is good, but if you lack the understanding for leadership and governance, you will destroy the RESOURCES of such position – PEOPLE, TIME, EFFORTS, MATERIAL & FINANCE under your watch.

More so, a lack of UNDERSTANDING will cause you to always REACT, make EXCUSES and BLAME others for your inadequacy; It will cause you not to take RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY for your actions; and a lack of PURPOSEFUL UNDERSTANDING to achieving meaningful RESULTS.

In UNDERSTANDING, the PURPOSE of a thing is ACHIEVE with GRACE. A lack of ALL NEEDED UNDERSTANDING makes people live a life without PURPOSE for themselves and others. It’s time to be PRINCIPLED by doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY through UNDERSTANDING in the GRACE wherein we stand to become all that God in Christ Jesus has done in us, is doing in us and through us by His WORD and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT of grace. Amen.

I know why the difference, the scriptures has an answer, and is this:

“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with ALL thy getting GET UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS (Ignorant, puff up, fool, disobedient) is HARD (Difficult Challenging, Rough)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

“The man that WANDERETH out of the WAY of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION (Gathering, Places) of the dead (Unproductive, Foolish , Ignorant)” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s love – AGAPE, it’s the vitality you need to do life and live through any phase of human endeavours by FAITH.

GOD IS LOVE; and he that DWELLETH in love DWELLETH in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: BECAUSE AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE casteth out fear: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that feareth is not MADE perfect in love” 1 John 4:8, 16-18.
