THE ONLINE Digital CHURCH Services: The Need To ABOUND And ABASED In Changing Times!

If we as a Church must be strenghtened, gracious and graceful in grace to keep on keeping on in our changing world by various factors that may come or show up as the  PANDEMIC experience lockdown thought us – we must learn from Apostle Paul to ABOUND and ABASED in everyway. Delivering this generation unto our God is only going to be effective and result oriented as we awake from set Man-Made dogmas and traditional made-up by-ways and static creeds. It’s time for the character check, a dynamic and charismatic acts of doing life with our generation in the new. For we can’t be ignorance of the devices and schemes of the enemy and cohorts in our time (2 Corinthians 2:10-11; Acts 17:30-31).

I read a book many many years ago entitled “WHERE WAS THE CHURCH WHEN THE YOUTH EXPLODED”. The Church was sleeping then and took the youth of that generation for granted in not adapting to their changes of time to win them for the Lord. That generation gap created a vacuum that made many once thriving Church Worship Centres to become a deserted places, swimming pools, accomodation centres/hotels, dancing boardrooms and many such like. In fact I saw in my visit to a particular country of a formally used Church worship center turned into brothel and dance floor cum clubhouse. And so are many in their dilapidated and decadence state over time.

It’s true that the Building may not be the Church as in the above paragraph cases, but it was and is a relevant gathering place to grow the Churches over the years overtime. But for failure of the Churches then not creating, exploring, adapting, innovating and initiating avenues to know and understand their upcoming youth dimensions of travel, they lost a huge generation. The impact and effect has NEVER been recovered over the years.

It’s very imperative that the Churches today wakes up before the enemy sow tares that will corrupt and degrade the Church to a place of irrelevance and from being the ANSWER to the generational changes of today’s world. We must, I say must, DELIVER THIS GENERATION of ours to God from the clutches and deception of Satan and Cohorts.

If we must set the lawful captives free and deliver this generation unto our God, we must be awake and not be sleeping in the midst of the changing times to every phase of our doing life and living godly.

It’s time to ABOUND and ABASED, ABASED and ABOUND in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT. 15 See then that ye WALK CIRCUMSPECTLY, not as fools, but as wise, 16 REDEEMING THE TIME, BECAUSE THE DAYS ARE EVIL” Ephesians 3:13-16.

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be ABASED, and I know how to ABOUND: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ which STRENGTHENETH me” Philippians 4:11-13.

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS LIKENED UNTO A MAN WHICH SOWED GOOD SEED IN HIS FIELD: 25 but WHILE MEN SLEPT, HIS ENEMY CAME AND SOWED TARES AMONG THE WHEAT, AND WENT HIS WAY. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

“SHALL THE PREY BE TAKEN FROM THE MIGHTY, OR THE LAWFUL CAPTIVE DELIVERED? 25 But thus saith the Lord, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the Lord am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob” Isaiah 49:24-26.

GOODLY HERITAGE

GOODLY HERITAGE: JESUS CHRIST – MY SAVIOUR AND LORD!

The best and ultimately incomparable, indescribable and unimaginable INHERITANCE ever to have in life and grace is having my SAVIOUR and LORD Jesus Christ. Amen.

“For to me, to LIVE is Christ [He is my source of joy, my reason to live] and to die is gain [for I will be with Him in eternity]. 22 If, however, it is to be life here and I am to go on living, this will mean useful and productive service for me; so I do not know which to choose [if I am given that choice]” Philippians 1:21-22.

Being born of God as a New Creation in Christ Jesus, is just awesomely awesome and I couldn’t have ask for anything else MORE. I am daily super excited, contented and fulfilled both meaningfully and purposefully in all that pertains doing life and living godly. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In whom also we have OBTAINED an INHERITANCE, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 that we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ” Ephesians 1:11-12.

“The Lord is the PORTION of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou MAINTAINEST my lot. 6 The LINES are fallen unto me in PLEASANT places; yea, I have a GOODLY HERITAGE. 7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me counsel: my reins also instruct me in the night seasons. 8 I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope . . .11 Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is fulness of joy; at thy RIGHT HAND there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:5-11.

“But God forbid that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is CRUCIFIED unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION, but a NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH any thing, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but faith which worketh by love” Galatians 5:6.

“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.

“Give none offence, NEITHER to the JEWS, nor to the GENTILES, nor to the CHURCH of God: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

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

“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.

LIVING FOR A PURPOSE

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: God Will Only ANSWER To EMPOWER A PURPOSEFUL Demand!

“Call unto me, and I will ANSWER thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not” Jeremiah 33:3.

The kingdom of God is not wishy-washy or either this or that, in order to appeal to sentiments and self-seeking satisfaction in our circumstances. For our God is a God of ORDER and DECENCY (1 Corinthians 14:40; 1 Timothy 3:15; Titus 1:5); and He will only COMMEND what He COMMAND.

For example, PRAYER is not a case of demanding from God either of His PURPOSE or His POWER, and in reverse, of His POWER or His PURPOSE. PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and CAUSE to accomplish while POWER speaks of the ENABLING – ENDOWMENT – to accomplish the assigned PURPOSE; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His gracious enabling – endowment – POWER; also, you can’t crave in PRAYER for God’s gracious and enabling POWER for a no PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES – for it to accomplish. Therefore, you need to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, this INTENT of PURPOSEFUL demand of God into your life, is applicable whether is to your – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. This is the reason why many so called – PRAYERS and FASTING – are unwarranted and unnecessary; it’s because they are PURPOSELESSLY driven with the intent of solely seeking for POWER or OPPORTUNITY for nothing. God doesn’t ANSWER a – PURPOSELESS REQUEST and POWERLESS DEMAND – no matter the noise and emotional sentiments we endeavour to make of it; this important to note, especially counting on how much rigorous devotion of time we claim to be doing sometimes in respect to PRAYERS and FASTING and NIGHT VIGIL’S; and all these being done or that we do or are doing to accompany such activity or activities, is in order to get an ANSWER and yet are not forth coming or happening as we earnestly request and crave after.

So, watch out HOW you pray; it’s not just enough when a Minister lays hand and pour ointment on you and declare breakthroughs means an end, you need to reconcile matters of GRACIOUS POWER DEMAND to the accompanying PURPOSE – ASSIGNMENT, for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion as many have called my attention to such matters. Hence I ask you today – Is that God’s will and intent for the New Testament and His Covenant Church in Christ Jesus? And I say NO and NO!

It’s only when PURPOSE are right, then the accompanying POWER (the rights, capacity, opportunity) then works TOGETHER for the good of you and to ensure that you have the MEANINGFUL FULFILMENT with God. That’s why we must take heed to God’s assignment in our life and we don’t do a wishy-washy attitude with it if we intend having our altitude of grace by God’s APPROVAL and not man’s APPLAUD – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect example on matter of the subjects in discussion is in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. In His humanity, He was graciously LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning it’s  not a self show off to FAST and PRAY as some may do to indicate spiritual classification. He returned with the POWER of the Holy Spirit accompanying the set PURPOSE of God – the empowering or empowerment of the Holy Spirit which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived through humanity in that CAUSE or PURPOSE and POWER with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity. And I can say in His stead, that in same-like scenario, you can do life with God in all phases of your life, be it in – education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like.

Make your PRAYERS count and account for your good – meaningfully and in fulfilment. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when done intentionally and as led by the Holy Spirit and by the WORD, in reconciling POWER demand with PURPOSE from God.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

“. . . 14 And Jesus returned in THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised . . .”  Luke 4:1-22.

REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union

REDEMPTION DEED – The Greatest Unifying Union – The Holy COMMUNION: The Bread and The Wine – ENACTING THE PASSOVER!

“. . . 14 And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall KEEP IT A FEAST by an ORDINANCE for ever . . .” Exodus 12:1-51.

“. . . 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the NEW TESTAMENT in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in REMEMBRANCE of me. 26 For AS OFTEN AS ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, YE DO SHEW THE LORD’S DEATH TILL HE COME . . .” 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.

The act of the REDEMPTION DEED of God in Christ Jesus has brought about the greatest unifying union of any kind thereby ENACTING THE PASSOVER. This act is the Holy Communion which embodied – The Bread as the Body of Christ, and The Cup – The Wine, the Blood of Christ being sacrifices for our PASSOVER from death unto life.

And graciously and gracefully, this REDEMPTION DEED act of grace, bares no Adamic nature in order to authentic the legality and vitality of our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And as it’s powerful and gracious in the physical, so much the more it is in the spiritual. Hence Jesus at the cross said – IT IS FINISHED – meaning an end to Adamic NATURE and EFFECT by the REDEMPTION DEED. Hence the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus has NO PAST. All things has become NEW – 2 Corinthians 5:17.

We can now have our lost RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP with God in Adam reclaimed and restored in the fulness of REDEMPTION. For the Two reasons – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – we can celebrate and commemorate in the Holy Communion that enacts and authenticates the CRUCIFIXION and DEATH, BURIAL and RESURRECTION, ASCENSION and ENTHRONEMENT of Christ Jesus, who is our Saviour-King & Lord. Amen.

And we celebrate and commemorate Him simply for these:

* OUR SIN FORGIVEN, ACQUITTED AND RECEIVED – means Our RELATIONSHIP with God reclaimed and restored. No more sacrifices of the flesh. For we’ve been JUSTIFIED – Romans 5:1-2.

* OUR ACCESS ASSURED & GUARANTEED – means Our acts of FELLOWSHIP (COMMUNION) with God reclaimed and restored. No more middle person failing man any more on our behalf – 1 Timothy 2:5-6; Acts 4:12. We’ve been DELIVERED & TRANSLATED – Colossians 1:1-21; Ephesians 1:1-14.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took BREAD:  24 and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my BODY, which is broken for you: this do in REMEMBRANCE of me.  25 After the same manner also he took the CUP, when he had supped, saying, This CUP is the NEW TESTAMENT in my BLOOD: this do ye, as OFT as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.  26 For as often as ye EAT this BREAD, and DRINK this CUP, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come . . .” 1 Corinthians 11: 17-34.

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and BLESSED it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave THANKS, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 for this is my blood of the NEW TESTAMENT, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom” Matthew 26:26-29.

Ensuring An Enduring POSSESSIONS In REDEMPTION

Ensuring An Enduring POSSESSIONS In REDEMPTION: The Needful Acts For The MAINTENANCE And SUSTENANCE!

“And WINE that maketh GLAD the heart of man, and OIL to make his face to SHINE, and BREAD which STRENGTHENETH man’s heart” Psalms 104:15.

“Yea, the Lord will ANSWER and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you CORN, and WINE, and OIL, and ye shall be SATISFIED therewith: and I will no more make you a REPROACH among the heathen” Joel 2:19.

It’s one thing to be BLESSED, it’s another thing to KNOW you’ve been BLESSED; and it’s another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN the BLESSEDNESS of being BLESSED in REDEMPTION.

To be BLESSED, means to be EMPOWERED with the ENABLING goodness, graciousness and gracefulness of God TO Succeed, Excel, Achieve, Become, Create and Innovates, in order to:

** Live a meaningful, purposeful and Fulfilling life and more;

** And to live WITHOUT Sorrow, Regret and Mishaps.

It thus means that the BLESSING of God in ESSENCE – is not PHYSICAL in terms of – Car, property, Finance and such like; but it’s SPIRITUAL – the endowed enabling of God received in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus – and that’s what helps one to acquire or bring into reality and tangibility, the physical things we do need to enhance life, such as – Car, Property, Finance and such like.

Knowing this difference on how the BLESSEDNESS of redemption become real and tangible, makes our perspective and perception in prayers more connected to the HOW things of God do works for us from the SPIRITUAL to the PHYSICAL in MANIFESTATIONS and how we can do LIFE and GODLINESS with God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

And to ENSURE the KNOWING-HOW and SUSTAINABILITY of the BLESSEDNESS, one need to possess – and not to lack any of these three ingredients that ensures the acts of LIFE and GODLY living come into fruition – reality and tangibility.

These INGREDIENTS are:

  *** The WINE – Speaks of The HOLY SPIRIT

  *** The OIL – Speaks of The ANOINTING

  *** The BREAD – Speaks of The WORD.

The WINE will gladden one’s hearts – spirit being, The OIL will cause one’s face to shine and The BREAD will strengthens one’s hearts – spirit being, from all sorts. And when these three endowments abide and abound in our day to day living, then doing LIFE and GODLINESS are DONE with ease, leisure, satisfaction, purpose that results the meaningful fulfilment we do much desired – way over, above and beyond the limiting elements of – stress, depression, pressure, fear, complex and such like that hunts and hurts us.

ENSURE YOUR REDEMPTION DEED IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD BY THE THREE NEEDFUL!

Know today that it’s one thing to be BLESSED – and it’s another thing to KNOW you’ve been BLESSED – and it’s another thing to MAINTAIN and SUSTAIN being BLESSED in REDEMPTION.

I pray you make time today and even now, to crave for these enabling to be a part of your day to day living in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Be BLESSED!

The Effective FAITH That WORKS

By Leave a Comment

The Effective FAITH That WORKS: It’s The FAITH That SUBSTANTIATES In HOPE!

The FAITH that works and that’s EFFECTUAL (effective and efficient) is the FAITH that SUBSTANTIATES in HOPE. Hence COMMUNICATE your FAITH in HOPE.

And by the PATIENCE of HOPE, you can keep FAITH thriving in the midst of all odds, as you LABOUR in LOVE to SERVE in GRACE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Now FAITH is the SUBSTANCE of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 and HOPE maketh not ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” Romans 5:1-5.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy LOVE and FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 4-6.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, AND LABOUR OF LOVE, AND PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 FOR OUR GOSPEL CAME NOT UNTO YOU IN WORD ONLY, BUT ALSO IN POWER, AND IN THE HOLY GHOST, AND IN MUCH ASSURANCE; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

“Therefore it is of FAITH, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 WHO AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, THAT HE MIGHT BECOME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 AND BEING NOT WEAK IN FAITH, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was STRONG IN FAITH, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform . . .” Romans 4:16-25.

GOD GIVES LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS

GOD GIVES LIGHT OUT OF DARKNESS – AND NOT LIGHT IN DARKNESS!

God is not saying He will shine LIGHT upon our darkness or in our darkness but will bring FORTH light OUT OF OUR DARKNESS as He did in our redemption through Christ Jesus; much more as He did in creation wherein DARKNESS beseech the EARTH. The Consequence of that darkness made the earth to be without form and void. But God abhors darkness, hence He ordered light to shine fourth OUT OF THAT DARKNESS. And light came FORTH. And light is superior to any level of darkness, for darkness can NEVER comprehend, over power or breakdown any form or levels of light. 2 Corinthians 4:6.

And by God’s eternal WORD, you can emancipate yourself with God’s light to brighten up your life from any form and void of darkness. For God’s word is a lamp (insight) unto our feet and a light (foresight) unto our path of doing life. And the entrance of God’s WORD into our being brightens up our life daily with understanding. John 1:1-5; Psalms 119:105, 130.

And by the LIGHT, the path of you the JUSTIFIED and RIGHTEOUS person in Christ Jesus, shines brighter and brighter until your day is dawn with God in LIFE and GODLINESS. Proverbs 4:18.

I pray that you SHINE FORTH IN THE LIGHT of God’s GRACE in you, out of EVERY NOTABLE DARKNESS you are locked down with at this very moment, in Jesus precious name. Amen.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the EARTH was WITHOUT FORM, AND VOID; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be LIGHT: and there was light. 4 And God saw the LIGHT, that it was good: and God divided the light from the DARKNESS. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.

“Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple”  Psalms 119:105, 130.

“But the PATH OF THE JUST is as the SHINING LIGHT, that SHINETH MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day” Proverbs 4:18.

“In the beginning was THE WORD, and THE WORD was with God, and THE WORD was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the LIGHT SHINETH IN DARKNESS; and the DARKNESS COMPREHENDED IT NOT” John 1:1-5.

THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD

THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD: BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER WHATEVER!

“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18

Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – whether it’s the pandemic, war, economic meltdown and such like – for there is no different with God in WHATEVER. It thus mean every challenges and difficult circumstances are certainly and surely TIMED to stop or come to an END point one day, irrespective of the days, weeks, months and years of that WHATEVER – Proverbs 23:18.

And life will always roll in a NEW action and motion again when an end is come for WHATEVER betides one. It’s how much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS you are making to forge ahead for yourself and all about you at the dawn day and dawn time when it comes – is the very important thing to think and ponder through. Your intentional mindset setting for an onward and upward trajectory, is so important if you intend to be the one in charge, control and in DOMINON to reign and rule in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead – (Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9).

There’s one scripture that I have known, that have kept me going, almost in every passing phase of challenging times in my life, to deal with matters during and after WHATEVER in the work of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. That scripture is this:

“. . . 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS . . .” Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.

More so, I know that having a SCRIPTURAL perception of life, is an attitude that makes one to perceive that their today is far better than yesterday, and that has helped and kept me going; and scriptural context in perception still helps me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything it’s in the new start up and not in the old.

And the knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and  steadfastness are NEW every morning – is an awesome plus on each passing day (Lamentations 3:23); and by this confidence and assurance in SCRIPTURAL context in perception, there’s no reason why one should not live in the present tense of God to define ones life for today and tomorrow. Hence I can say that your GOOD, BETTER and BEST DAYS is come and is coming out of the WHATEVER you are dealing with at the moment to advance in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.

Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation which is of the New Covenant and such like, is far more superior testimony as in the fulfilment to the Old Testament of the Old Covenant and such like injunctions of the old – it beholds me as it becomes imperative, that one keep away and withdraw from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days instead of dealing with the present.

Regrets and living in the past will not elevates any, no matter the devotion to mourning and murmuring and complaining of the past and it’s history – both in the bad or good terms. And dwelling in the past doesn’t indicates a good sign to innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present in order to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired of you – especially for your today and your tomorrow. It’s time for a NEW you to SPRING up for the NEW dawn day that’s about to come forth from you after the WHATEVER; because your world should not be the same again and you need not be – A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN.

Am emboldened to inform you that the way you live and do life OUGHT to change whenever the WHATEVER is done away with in one’s life. And if you do not PREPARE and TRAIN yourself for the NEW you to emerge in order to EFFECTUALLY deal with the changes that will come up after your WHATEVER – you may live to regret for learning nothing whenever the WHATEVER shutdown or locked down or standstill moment is done and dusted. It’s a wise decision for you to do life meaningfully and purposefully as a consequence of the preparation you’ve made for your emergence from the known and unknown WHATEVER you’ve been through.

Just know that our ways of PRUDENCE – the utilising and managing of the resources – of TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (Physical/Mental Exertion), MATERIAL and PEOPLE, in order to earn a living may likely change in many ways after WHATEVER; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with, in the reality of change that may evolve.

And I behold you not to whine by crying out loud – by saying things as one that’s been left behind, as to – THE FORMER DAYS ARE BETTER THAN THE PRESENT. This is simply because you are not living in the NOW because the FORMER days have a grip on you and you’ve forgotten that the so called former days can’t define your current and present day of today.

It’s time to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory match to the better and best of you in life and grace. Our God is the God of the now and tomorrow as He’s of yesterday; and He’s good and faithful to see us through life phase – making the good and the bad to work together for our good Romans 8:28. But you must give God something to work with, to ensure you are thoroughly through and through with your inward (insight) and outward (foresight) plan, purpose and pursuit.

I PRAY YOU KNOW WELL TODAY AND ALWAYS THAT – THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD – THEREFORE, BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER THE WHATEVER.

I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in the PRESENT TIME and in the TIME AHEAD that might evolve in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

Desire The PRINCIPAL Thing – Seek For WISDOM In Your PASSION

Desire The PRINCIPAL Thing – Seek For WISDOM In Your PASSION: That’s The PATH To GRACIOUSNESS And GRACEFULNESS!

ZEAL – otherwise passion is good, but if without KNOWLEDGE, it’s dangerous and deadly – full of foolishness and frustration. Romans 10:1-4.

And KNOWLEDGE is good, but if without UNDERSTANDING, it breeds arrogance and rudeness. 1 Corinthians 8:1.

But 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. Proverbs 4:5-7.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Get WISDOM, get UNDERSTANDING: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. 7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy getting get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:5-7.

“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 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.

“Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have KNOWLEDGE. KNOWLEDGE PUFFETH UP, but charity edifieth” 1 Corinthians 8:1.
