You CAN Triumph and Overcome THAT Unwarranted LIFE Pressure: There’s The STAND in The GRACE to Say ‘NO’ in You!

“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.

It’s a high time to BUILD your life on PRINCIPLE – PRINCIPLE that’s BASED ON and BUILT FROM the WORD of God. To ensure that you have a PRINCIPLE stand on God’s WORD OF GRACE in all you do in LIFE and GODLINESS should be paramount in all your decisions. You can’t afford as the REDEEMED of God to fall PREY of the ENEMY and COHORTS because of your inability to take or have a PRINCIPLE STAND in your FAITH and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. The reason been this, if you don’t have a PRINCIPLED STAND that’s BASED ON and BUILT FROM God’s WORD, you will FALL a PREY to any MANOEUVRE that comes your path of life by the ENEMY and COHORTS in waiting to devour.

“Be SOBER, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the SAME AFFLICTIONS are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11.

May I say and assure you that in Christ Jesus stead, you can make it GREAT in life and BECOME what God has MADE you be in salvation through REDEMPTION; and by the entrusted GRACE of God, if you CAN know the HOW to say ‘NO’ to ALL THINGS that LIMITS you and CONTRAVENE your ACTS of FAITH in Christ Jesus, NOTHING can stop your intended desire in and with God, in Christ Jesus stead –  no matter what it is.

Grace to me in sum, is – God’s Riches At Christ Expense. And there’s an inner deposited ability and capacity embedded in your Salvation in Christ Jesus, and is called GRACE, and it’s to help you say NO to POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH. It thus means you can say NO to anything that limits you from where God in Christ Jesus have enthroned you in Him. You have a choice to resist steadfastly any act of sinful demands, worldly prepositions and lustful pressures that crosses your path of destiny in order for you to succeed, be fulfilled and to eat the good of the land wherein you dwell, work, school and do life.

Colourful living and glorious life is not cheap, it demands the EXERCISING of the will of the GRACE that CAN say NO to setbacks and failure steadfastly. And you are GIVEN THE MEASURE of GRACE and FAITH to say “NO”. Therefore blame no one any more if you falter to be PRINCIPLED to exercise the will given measure to VICTORY, TRIUMPH and DOMINION.

If you CAN discipline and principle yourself to say NO, you will and can keep yourself above the waters that’s aimed to limit you from your godly position of greatness in Christ Jesus; and in knowing and understanding what the Scripture has said about you.

Saying “NO” is godly and it’s a principle to stand upon to live the “I CAN” in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead as it’s written:

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me” Philippians 4:13.

BE BLESSED – BE EMPOWERED TO SUCCEED.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For the GRACE of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It TEACHES us to say ‘NO’ to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope – the appearing of the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. . . “ Titus 2:11-15 (NIV).

“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

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth me” Philippians 4:13.

“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.

GRATITUDE – THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING

By Leave a Comment

GRATITUDE – THANKS GIVING AND THANKS LIVING: THE POWER AND ESSENCE OF HIGHER ALTITUDE!

GRATITUDE – is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. GRATITUDE of hearts is a gracious and graceful ATTITUDE for one’s ALTITUDE in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there’s the need to live a GRATEFUL and THANKFUL life in all circumstances and situations irrespective of one’s status, creed, colour, gender and tongue.

When you come to a place of ACKNOWLEDGING in life and grace, a place of not only GIVING God THANKS at the point of INCIDENCE, but you have a LIVING ATTITUDE to give THANKS ALWAYS without prejudice, therein is a set place knowingly and unknowingly, of awesome ALTITUDE. That’s an atmosphere, wherein you just LIVE in the REALM of THANKS – and such a heartfelt ATTITUDE of the will, will ALWAYS reciprocate and create an enabling for an ALTITUDE that’s beyond human words, but found in knowledge and understanding, as the Holy writ do encourage.

“By him therefore let us OFFER the SACRIFICE of PRAISE to God CONTINUALLY, that is, the FRUIT of our lips GIVING THANKS to his name” Hebrews 13:15.

I therefore urge you to ensure that your THANKS GIVING act of GRATITUDE becomes a THANKS LIVING ATTITUDE for your ALTITUDE.

As Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally sound), STATURE (Physically – Physique healthy), and in FAVOUR with God (Spiritually Communing) and FAVOUR with Man (Socially, emotionally and Economically connected), even so God intends for us to experience accordingly, in His plan, purpose and pursuit in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, it’s expedient and imperative that we are informed and acquainted with ALL THE WORDS OF THIS LIFE  and the mode of operandi; and more importantly, how there are in relation to God’s WORD, to enable us DO LIFE with ease in the GRACE wherein we STAND; and be WHOLE in – spirit, soul and body, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s now time to stop LIVING on – the UNFINISHED MADE and BAKED meal or food. It time for one to take WHOLESOME WORD to make a WHOLESOME LIVING.

I hereby commend you in Christ Jesus stead, to GO FORTH AND TAKE A STAND in grace, and then thrive, live and do life wholly, completely, fully, totally, entirely, and steadfastly in everyway.

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM

DON’T BE A LAZYBUTT IN THE KINGDOM: AWAKE TO READING – MAKE A DIFFERENCE – BE FREE FROM IGNORANCE AND THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN!

Ignorance is not just destructive, but enslaves one, keeps one in CAPTIVITY and BONDAGE of all sorts; it’s WORST than a CANCEROUS disease, it short circuits ones present and future greatness, and makes one to own up and give up ones WILL and WORTH unknowingly, thereby DESTROYING ones PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

You can’t afford in 21st Century as the REDEEMED in Christ Jesus, to live less than what REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus has offered you and us all; to make us Triumphant, Victorious, More Than Conquerors and an Overcomer of this present world through FAITH until Christ Jesus earnest return; and to take us and deliver us from the dark and darkness of limitations and failures into the indescribable and incomprehensible gracious and graceful bosom of His good and goodness in doing life and godly living. Hence, you need to stop been in a hurry to escape from reality of LIFE and GODLY LIVING, because of your been LAZYBUTT and in LOUSINESS as if nothing matters. Know today SOMETHING matters in life my dear – and it’s about LIFE and GODLY LIVING. You are BORN AGAIN to be FULFILL in life meaningfully and purposefully in Christ Jesus stead.

The born of God in Christ Jesus stead is inexcusable in matters of playing IGNORANCE – (Acts 17:30-31). And you ARE only MISTAKEN and working in ERRORS  because of  IGNORANCE of the TRUTH – For the TRUTH always SETS one FREE in Christ Jesus stead (Matthew 22:29; John 8:32). Know for sure that it’s your principle failure in responsibility and accountability, when you fail through ignorance. Someone may be responsible for your falling in the ditch, you can’t live to keep blaming such somebody or person’s for you remaining and keeping yourself in the ditch. You are responsible and accountable for the decision you make to either RISE UP to be ABOVE ONLY, or to STAY BACKWARDS, or to STAND SAME in circus and STILL, then mourning, complaining, excusing, accusing and such like. You don’t need to stay vulnerable and downcast to fulfil sentimental position and to embrace pity party to make have a temporary happiness. You need to take a stand in grace to enable you attain the enduring, onward and upward trajectory happiness and fulfilment, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HENCE I SAY:

“INFORMED LEADERS ARE READERS AND WORLD CHANGERS. UNTIL YOU READ TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU READ, YOU ARE STILL IGNORANT. THEREFORE READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU LEAD AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE” – Chukie MORSI Snr (@ Chukie MORSI Books Extract).

It’s time to wake up, rise up like an edifice from your LAZYBUTT and give yourself to READING that will emancipate, rekindle, refresh, synergise and geared you to INNOVATE, CREATE, EXPLORE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into your unimaginable, better and best days, while making the difference and fulfilling PURPOSE, in the now of God for you and those you care about in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOU ARE THE BEST OF GOD FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR STREET, YOUR COMMUNITY, YOUR NATION AND YOUR WORLD. DON’T FAIL THROUGH IGNORANCE – IT’S WORST THAN A CANCEROUS DISEASE.

I PRAY YOU UNDERSTAND MY PASSION FOR YOU TO RISE AND BEGIN AGAIN. THERE’S A MIRACLE AWAITING YOU AGAIN. GIVE YOURSELF TO READING. Don’t give up. Don’t give in. Don’t faint. Don’t go weary, Don’t be anxious. Knowledge delivers, emancipates and rewards in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION: HE RECEIVED AND GAVE GIFTS TO MATURE HIS CHURCH!

Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ did ensure that in our REDEMPTION in Him, He RECEIVED and GAVE spiritual gifts and endowment on our behalf to mature His Church (Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 5:19-12). And YOU ARE THAT CHURCH; and I hereby remind you, that it’s your obligations and not someone else, to ENSURE that – WHAT YOU FEED ON – WHERE YOU FEED FROM – WHO AND WHOM YOU FEED FROM – are MATURING you in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For you are the custodian of your FULFILMENT in FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead and not someone else.

We live in the last days, you must always remember, that you are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness for now, today and tomorrow. Meaning, you are responsible and accountable on every thought and corresponding action you take to make you have and become who you are. You are either REACTING or RESPONDING in life, to anything you consider to be the PRINCIPLE of life you are applying to fulfil PURPOSE.

Our Father God in His infinite wisdom has given us every good thing that can principally help us in all that PERTAINS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in Christ Jesus stead. And the sure infinite wisdom gift of God are there to make us MATURE in Him in Christ Jesus, that we might THRIVE, ENSURE and ENJOY His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in everyway. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

When our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His journey of decending and ascending to Glory, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE such gifts to men, to ENSURE and ASSURE MATURITY in and for His people; that they might fully fulfil His PURPOSE, meant for them as individual and collective ambassador’s, toward God and humanity, while there are in the earth. Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:7-10; Revelation 5:9-12.

One of such gifts of God in Christ Jesus, is classified as MINISTERIAL GIFTS of God. The SET MINISTERIAL GIFT in essence, embodied the SHEPHERDING of God’s people that they might be PERFECTED – meaning MATURED in all their dealings that pertains toward doing LIFE on earthly demands and living godly for the heavenly demands. And unfortunately, immaturity, contention, schism and disorder have taken hold within this Ministerial gifts, that the byproduct of the essence are not worth mentioning at all. That’s why you as an individual, must make it a matter of personal responsibility and accountability, to ENSURE that WHAT you are FEEDING on,  WHERE you are FEEDING from, and WHO/WHOM you are FEEDING from, are in essence MATURING you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus stead, in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. John 10:1-18.

Therefore, be assured to ensure, that you are PRINCIPLED enough, in all the PLATFORM of life you get yourself into, that you are fulfiling that God given PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, and such driven PURPOSE you acclaimed, is MATURING you in the knowledge and understanding that is presentable in the face of Christ Jesus, to whom you will answer one day – knowingly or unknowingly. 2 Corinthians 4:6; 2 Corinthians 3:18.

And if you are a part of the SET MINISTERIAL GIFTS that are GIVEN to MATURE the CHURCH, as a consequence of while Christ Jesus have to died and rose again, and sat on the throne, having led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE, so that His Church might be PERFECTED in Him, you need to ENSURE you are actually fulfiling the PURPOSE of FEEDING God’s REDEEMED precious people, with His KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING; and not with religious bigots, man-made belief, tradition dogmas of men, religion bye-laws and creeds, and such like.

It’s my earnest PRAYER that each one of us in Christ Jesus, GROW MATURED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS – meaning, being PERFECTED and EQUIPPED, to keep the GOSPEL, the good news of God in Christ Jesus for human salvation without stain of contention, schisms, disorders, impurity and such like. Ensure you create within you, a well guarded garrison, of a spiritual filter, that’s centered and centric to the WORD OF GOD, to keep you away and from non maturing and sentimental poisoning that are now spreading like wild fire, all over the places, in the name of God. Hebrews 4:12-13; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15.

Know today and always for your reminder toward your onwards and upwards trajectory that:

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION – RECEIVED AND GAVE GIFTS TO MATURE HIS CHURCH – IT’S YOUR PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY THAT YOU ENSURE THAT WHAT YOU FEED ON, WHERE YOU FEED FROM, WHO AND WHOM YOU FEED FROM – ARE MATURING YOU IN GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.

“Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And God hath SET SOME IN THE CHURCH, first APOSTLES, secondarily PROPHETS, thirdly TEACHERS, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, HELPS, GOVERNMENTS, diversities of tongues. 29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? 30 have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? 31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way” 1 Corinthians 12:27-31.

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) 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 (MATURED) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly: 15 but if I tarry long, THAT THOU MAYEST KNOW HOW THOU OUGHTEST TO BEHAVE THYSELF IN THE HOUSE OF GOD, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” 2 Timothy 3:14-16.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice . . . 27 Only let your CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel” Philippians 1:15-18, 27 (Emphasis Mine).

PASTORAL SHEPHERDING – IT’S NOT A GAME

PASTORAL SHEPHERDING – IT’S NOT A GAME: IT’S ABOUT MATURING GOD’S HERITAGE IN THE SPIRIT!

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

“And I will SET UP SHEPHERDS over them which shall FEED them: and they shall FEAR no more, nor be DISMAYED, neither shall they be LACKING, saith the Lord” Jeremiah 23:4.

The PASTORAL MINISTRY otherwise the SHEPHERDING of God’s heritage – the flocks of God, is an ACCOUNTABLE and RESPONSIBLE calling of grace, that’s built on the PRINCIPLE of looking well after the state of God’s herds – the Churches of His grace.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) 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 (MATURED) 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 (Emphasis Mine).

“Be thou DILIGENT to know the STATE OF THY FLOCKS, and LOOK WELL TO THY HERDS. 24 For riches are not for ever: and doth the crown endure to every generation? 25 The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. 26 The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field. 27 And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens” Proverbs 27:23-27.

“The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed: 2 FEED the FLOCK of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for FILTHY LUCRE, but of a READY MIND; 3 neither as being lords over God’s HERITAGE, but being ENSAMPLES to the FLOCK. 4 And when the CHIEF SHEPHERD shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away” 1 Peter 5:1-4.

“I am the GOOD SHEPHERD: the GOOD shepherd giveth his life for the SHEEP” John 10:11.

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that GREAT SHEPHERD of the SHEEP, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Hebrews 13:20-21.

LIVE AND MAXIMISE YOUR BEST LIFE IN EVERYWAY

LIVE AND MAXIMISE YOUR BEST LIFE IN EVERYWAY: SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD IN JOYFULNESS AND GLADNESS – IN THE NOW!

The current atmosphere in the world in essence may directly or indirectly be affecting your well-being; it may be traumatizing, frustrating, beyond human comprehension and control in every sense of your thoughts and imaginations. However, it may be, I want you to know and understand as God’s redeemed, it’s your time to take advantage of the atmosphere to celebrate your moment in grace and to live your best life in the now, in everyway, no matter what betides you in the course of doing life and in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus stead.

It’s time to be gracious and graceful to SERVE the LORD GOD acceptably and WORSHIP Him worthily with joyfulness and gladness in every moment in the now, else you’ll serve your enemies and the resultant effect is: hunger, thirst, nakedness, oppression, bondage and such like the more. And I am not sure that’s where you intend to be in the grace wherein God has set you free in Christ Jesus to stand in His stead.

“Because thou SERVEDST not the Lord thy God with JOYFULNESS, and with GLADNESS of HEART, for the ABUNDANCE of all things; 48 therefore shalt thou SERVE thine ENEMIES which the Lord shall send against thee, in HUNGER, and in THIRST, and in NAKEDNESS, and in WANT of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee” Deuteronomy 28:47-48.

In times like this – you need to have a personal KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of Father God in Christ Jesus in your heart thoughts in LIFE and GODLINESS. For you ARE the circumcised or circumcision in the heart – spirit man, who SERVE and WORSHIP God from the spirit being, the SIXTH sense, the sense of FAITH by the WORD of God; and you need not have any DELIGHT to SERVE and WORSHIP God from the realm of the flesh – of the five senses, that is, to – feel, smell, taste, see and hear, in order to BELIEVE and exercise FAITH in God.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED in THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where men ought to WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye WORSHIP ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour COMETH, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

Therefore, I say to you in Christ Jesus stead:

SERVE AND WORSHIP GOD FROM YOUR SPIRIT BEING BY THE TRUTH – WHICH IS THE WORD OF GOD. This thus mean you have no cause to feel LIMITED or lost in Christ Jesus. The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING that the CHURCH that Christ Jesus is BUILDING is YOU and it is the ARCHITECTURAL building that we crave to gather therein which currently appears to be at LOCKED DOWN momentarily. So lets live our BEST life now by all means in Christ Jesus.

I pray you have an awesome, amazing, gracious, graceful and a blessed day in everyway you do LIFE and GODLINESS.

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH” Philippians 3:3.

“For he is not a Jew, which is one OUTWARDLY; neither is that CIRCUMCISION, which is OUTWARD in the FLESH: 29 but he is a Jew, which is one INWARDLY; and CIRCUMCISION is that of the HEART, in the spirit, and not in the LETTER; whose PRAISE is not of men, but of God” Romans 2:28-29.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye WORSHIP ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour COMETH, and NOW is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the TESTIMONY of Jesus: WORSHIP God: for the TESTIMONY of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy” Revelation 19:10.

“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 1:2-4.

“And it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings, he took Peter and John and James, and went up into a mountain to pray. 29 And AS HE PRAYED, the FASHION of his COUNTENANCE was ALTERED, and his RAIMENT was white and glistering” Luke 9:28-29.

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, WHEN YE PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” Luke 11:1-4

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that MEN OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT (GIVE UP, GO WEARY, LOSE HEART)” Luke 18:1 Emphasis Mine.

“Is anyone among you suffering? He must PRAY. Is anyone joyful? He is to sing praises [to God]. 14 Is anyone among you sick? He must call for the elders (spiritual leaders) of the church and they are to PRAY over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer of faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and PRAY for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent PRAYER of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God—it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he PRAYED intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he PRAYED again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]” James 5:13-18 Amplified.

You are REDEEMED to REIGN in LIFE in Christ Jesus and to RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION. You are either REIGNING in life in grace OVER and AGAINST all circumstances and situations or you are being OVERWHELMED by your circumstances and situations; and therein living in fears phobia, intimidation, inferiority, complexes and such like human weakness and limitations.

You are ROYAL – royalties RULE and REIGN. And it’s your time and turn as ROYAL priesthood to both RULE over the ENEMY and COHORTS in DOMINION and REIGN in LIFE in the GRACE, in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
