GENUINE CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!

Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.

It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit.

In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as I hereby state:

“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honor and dignity”.

However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness  – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.

The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:

*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.

*** CHARACTER (attitude, behavior, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.

Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).

OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED

OCCUPY TILL I COME: EARTHLY USEFUL AND HEAVENLY MINDED – BY LIVING AND WALKING IN LOVE!

Talking about LOVE! Here is a didactic sense of measure, such that we don’t just say we have love, but we do LIVE and WALK in LOVE, knowing that love is of God; and it’s the lubricant for our life in Christ Jesus and for all mankind. Upon this we can Occupy In Christ by ‘Being Earthly Useful while Heavenly Minded’.

Love is an attitude, a deliberate choice, an exercise of the will, a choice of life and is not just a feeling, it is an expression of the nature of God. It is spiritual, divinely inspired and imbedded in the very hearts of all God’s human creation, and more importantly in the very nature of the redeemed child of God. Hence it’s not a doctrine, creed and dogmas. It outlived generation because it’s timeless and of God’s. God is love – 1 John 4:7–10.

Love is a FRUIT and not a GIFT. FRUITS are GROWN while GIFTS are IMPARTED. Genuine Bible love – Agape – is born and is a product of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 5:9).

Let’s consider love in diversity for a clearer understanding of the kind of love being implied in this context.

DEFINING THE THREE KINDS OF LOVE:

*1. PHILEO: Grk (of the soul) – Love relationship in family – between parent and child. The Family kind of love. It also embodied love relationship towards friends and colleagues. It means to be fond of; it is based on FEELINGS and not on PRINCIPLE. It’s never used of man’s love to or for God. This is human or natural kind of love. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9; Genesis 8:19; Ephesians 6:4; Colossians 3:21). This kind of love is however essential and crucial for a family bonding and wellbeing.

*2. EROS: Grk (of the Physical body) – Sexual love; purely reserved for the married – within the bond of marriage. It’s based on PHYSICAL ATTRACTION. It’s neither for fornication nor adultery. Lust and immoral desires have gotten some into it, hence there’s a great act of PERVERSION in our societies today – and we are paying hugely for the consequences across the board. (Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20).

*3. AGAPE: Grk (of the spirit) – God kind of love; unconditional, limitless, divine, spiritual. It transcends race, gender, generation, culture, family, physical, personal (self) etc. 1 Corinthians 13. It’s built on PRINCIPLE. Agape love even helps to ensure, STRENGTHEN and MAINTAIN the Phileo and Eros kind of love in all life endeavors. Agape love is based on PRINCIPLE – be it towards things or people.

Notably, the PHILEO OR EROS kinds of Love need to be controlled by AGAPE kind of love or else it will hinder our fellowship with God and leads to SIN acts. (E.g. EROS – 1 Corinthians 13:5; PHILEO – 1 Samuel 2:22-36).

Let’s not just say we have love, lets LIVE and WALK IN LOVE, for love is of the Spirit – Romans 5:5.

IT’S BY TIME TO LIVE AND WALK IN LOVE. LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:25.

“Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 and WALK IN LOVE, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour”  Ephesians 5:1-2.

“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being ROOTED and GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to COMPREHEND with all saints what is the BREADTH, and LENGTH, and DEPTH, and HEIGHT; 19 and to KNOW THE LOVE OF Christ, which PASSETH (TRANSCENDS, SURPASSED) KNOWLEDGE (SENSE), that ye might be FILLED with all the FULNESS of God” Ephesians 3:17-19.

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT

CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES: IT’S IN THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – JUST LIVE AND WALK IN HIM!

Until one begin to WALK IN THE SPIRIT as one LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, the true CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES and it’s realities of the Spirit can’t be actualized in the fullness of God’s given grace. It thus means, you can’t just lay claim to HAVE LOVE for example if you can’t WALK IN LOVE, or have goodness, peace, patience and more within you, if you can’t walk in goodness, peace, patience and more with others. One need to both LIVE and WALK the WALK within, in the Spirit and not just the TALK.

So, as we take on to do life daily and the week to week, to turn into another week to week, it’s time to TRANSLATE your God given fruit of the Spirit by WALKING in them as you LIVE consciously in them. That’s how the CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES are FORMATTED within us.

Enjoy your day folks, because ‘a new day is dawn’ for a new you and the best life, for a greater you. DO THE LIVING and THE WALKING and not just in a mere TALK or TALKING of it.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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 (CONDUCT) 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” 1 Timothy 3:14-16 Emphasis Mine.

“I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye WALK worthy of the VOCATION wherewith ye are CALLED, 2 with all LOWLINESS and MEEKNESS, with LONGSUFFERING, FORBEARING one another in LOVE; 3 ENDEAVOURING to keep the UNITY of the Spirit in the bond of PEACE” Ephesians 4:1-3.

“This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh . . . 22 But the FRUIT of the Spirit is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS, 23 GENTLENESS, SELF-CONTROL. Against such there is no law.  24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  25 IF WE LIVE IN THE SPIRIT, LET US ALSO WALK IN THE SPIRIT” Galatians 5:16, 22-25.

“For a GOOD TREE bringeth not forth CORRUPT FRUIT; neither doth a CORRUPT TREE bring forth GOOD FRUIT. 44 For every tree is known by his OWN fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. 45 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the ABUNDANCE of the heart his MOUTH speaketh” Luke 6:43-45 (Matthew 12:32-34).

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD report; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM

By Leave a Comment

WHEN YOU PRAY – PRAY IN WISDOM: GOD WILL ANSWER A PURPOSEFUL DEMAND – WITH POWER AND GRACE TO FUNCTION AND BECOME – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 cease not to give THANKS for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE unto you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of him: 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being ENLIGHTENED; that ye may KNOW what is the HOPE of his calling, and what the RICHES of the glory of his INHERITANCE in the saints . . .” Ephesians 1:15-23.

God is ever ready to HEAR your voice and to ANSWER your PRAYERS; but He will love us to PRAY in WISDOM – through the KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of His WILL in Christ Jesus; this is to enable us receive ANSWERS and unhindered by any factors place by our self-making or by any external laid down man-made religious ordinance outside His REDEMPTION deed of rights and privileges for us.

“. . . 31 And when they had PRAYED, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all FILLED with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with BOLDNESS . . . 33 And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:1-33.

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.

And the kingdom of God is not a case of asking God of His POWER and GRACE for a PURPOSE without you being able to FUNCTION and BECOME or of you asking for God’s enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE of God to FUNCTION and BECOME. God’s given and driven enabling POWER and GRACE is for a PURPOSE. It’s in OBEDIENCE to that PURPOSE of God that one can FUNCTION and BECOME accordingly and respectively.

PURPOSE speaks of assignment, opportunity and causes to accomplish while POWER and GRACE speaks of the ENABLING to FUNCTION – meaning to accomplish and BECOME in the assigned PURPOSE that’s given and driven of God in Christ Jesus stead; and that means, you can’t accomplished PURPOSE with God, without His enabling gracious POWER and GRACE being available for and with you; also, you can’t crave in prayer for God’s gracious and enabling POWER and GRACE for a no PURPOSE or ASSIGNMENT or CAUSES for it to accomplish in order to BECOME as given and driven. Therefore SELAH – PAUSE and THINK.

And as a child of God, the intent of PURPOSE of God in your life, is applicable whether to your education, career, business, ministry, family, marriage, relationship, finance, leadership, politics, governance and such like more. It’s for the lack of PURPOSE that there are many ABUSE -ABNORMAL USE and FUNCTION – of things and matters that the outcomes ought to have been gracious and glorious. And for this lack of PURPOSE that many PRAYERS and FASTING receives and yields NO results as expected; this is reason when PRAYERS, that are not PURPOSEFULLY driven and channeled, in commensurate to the desire WILL of God, the enabling POWER and GRACE, are not MADE available. God doesn’t answer a PURPOSELESS REQUEST that’s demanding for His POWER and GRACE no matter the noise, emotion and sentiments that are attached with it for any endeavor to function and become.

You need to know for sure and certainly, why the essence of PURPOSE is very important – especially, counting on how much PRAYERS and FASTING we do, and sometimes if not most times, we do accompany it with enormous NIGHT VIGIL’S that we do or are doing to ascertain God’s POWER and GRACE in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in Him in Christ Jesus stead.

So, watch out HOW you PRAY; you need to PRAY in WISDOM as I am laying out in this writ. For, 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 the matter of POWER and GRACE that you are asking and receiving of God in order to FUNCTION and BECOME with the PURPOSE for such. Otherwise, after few days or weeks or months, you will find yourself back to zero point again and in delusion while things have not worked out. Especially when your Church services Ministers have prayed and or you’ve observed the necessary religious and doctrinal ordinances to make it all good for your goodness and at no avail.

It’s only when PURPOSE are rightly with the context of God’s WILL, then the accompanying POWER (rights, capacity, opportunity) to FUNCTION and the enabling GRACE to BECOME, makes all things to work together for the good and goodness of any – this is simply, to ensure that one have the meaningful FULFILMENT with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 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 – onward and upward trajectory – of God’s APPROVAL as Christ Jesus received and not man’s APPLAUD that leads to self damnation – (Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 2:22; Romans 8:28).

Our perfect insight and foresight explanation in all I have discussed above is in our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ living example for us in His humanity. In His humanity, He was LED of the Holy Spirit, meaning not a self-made show-off agenda, to FAST and PRAY as in Luke 4:1-2 and Matthew 4:1-2. And afterwards, He returned with the POWER and GRACE of the Holy Spirit, and was accompany with the set PURPOSE of God – the enabling of the Holy Spirit to function and become, which He laid out in the synagogue Services immediately for all to bear Him record and witness as found in – Luke 4:1-2, 14, 16-22. He lived vividly through humanity in that CAUSE and PURPOSE with POWER and GRACE, and with meaningful fulfillment of God’s intent for humanity in Him. 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 fulfilling. And PRAYERS can only COUNT and ACCOUNT for one’s own good, when Intentionally, it’s done by reconciling DEMAND for POWER and GRACE with PURPOSE in Christ Jesus stead.

So PAUSE and THINK – SELAH!

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYINGS

INCLINE YOUR EARS TO THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYINGS: YOUR DEFINITION IS IN IT!

Speak LORD – was all that the young Samuel requested of the Lord in 1 Samuel 3:1-21, to make the DIFFERENCE in his life that two books was needed to write the acts and autobiography of him, in dealing with the LORD GOD, in doing life and living godly.

The Audio wave, Visual wave, Voice wave, Internet connections and such like more of the  communication channels of the multimedia surrounds us all, but only those that TUNED in or CONNECT get substance from those multimedia formats and not those that mere wishes, doing nothing. It is in the DOING and not in the MERE DREAMING and WISHING.

“But be ye DOERS of the WORD, and not HEARERS ONLY, DECEIVING YOUR OWN SELVES. 23 For if any be a HEARER of the word, and NOT A DOER, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 for he BEHOLDETH himself, and goeth his way, and straightway FORGETTETH what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso LOOKETH into the perfect law of liberty, and CONTINUETH therein, he being not a FORGETFUL hearer, but a DOER of the work, this man shall be BLESSED in his deed” James 1:22-25.

In the same scenario, if you don’t INCLINE your HEARING ears to let the LORD God speak to you His WORD by the Holy Spirit, you can’t BECOME of Him nor enter your life Fullness no matter how much time you spend in sleeping in the Church.

It’s a high time to make room to hear Him speak to you by MINISTERING to Him personally. This will end the stagnant state of things about you. The Heaven’s will APROVE you beyond men APPLAUD. You will then glow in grace and wholeness until the fullness of your day is come. And God will be ordering your step and path to places of graciousness and gracefulness with speed.

THE PATH OF THE JUSTIFIED IN CHRIST IS TO INCLINE THEIR HEARING EARS TO GOD’S SAYINGS.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK!

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY: LEADERSHIP AND MENTORSHIP!

A CHILD is BORN, but a SON is MADE. Sonship is not a MERE GIVEN neither should a CHILD BE BORN FOR NOTHING. The EAGLE WAY – It’s about RELATIONSHIP – THE EAGLE and THE EAGLETS – that is, LEADERSHIP and MENTORSHIP. For SUCCESS without a SUCCESSOR is failure in disguise; in same scenario, PROSPERITY without POSTERITY in view is a complete unprecedented disaster in the waiting.

The EAGLE unlike the OSTRICH is known for replicating its kind, that is, are DILIGENT in making the EAGLET to become another KING of the Sky. It’s a belief that the sky is so wide and broad that there can be no room for clashes and jealousy for any that WILLS DILIGENTLY, to BECOME; and to MAKE others to be on the sky. That’s the earnest act that makes the Eagle to turn the Eaglet to be king of the sky. This phenomenon is same, whether in FAMILY, MINISTRY, BUSINESS, CAREER, POLITICS, LEADERSHIP, CHARITABLE CAUSES and SUCH LIKES; it is in every endeavor of human acts of doing life.

It is upon the same scenario, Jesus said to Peter, FEED (look well after) my SHEEP and my LAMBS. When the SHEEP are well looked after, they give life to the LAMBS; and when the LAMBS are well looked after, they BECOME a SHEEP to give life to another lamb. That’s the process of PRODUCTIVITY and the continuous reproducing of one’s kind BECOMES inevitable. Therefore the EAGLE WAY – is to MAKE CONVERTS into DISCIPLES and to MAKE the DISCIPLES to MAKE CONVERTS, that is, to replicates to other Disciples.

Hence LEADERSHIP without appropriate MENTORSHIP destroys the SEED of GREATNESS; and MENTORSHIP without appropriate LEADERSHIP is very dangerous to PRODUCTIVE humanity, and as such to ones plans, purposes and pursuits in any endeavor of doing life.

Stop being a BOSS today! Be a LEADER and start MENTORING. Stop being a headless chicken WANDERING around, locate a LEADER and SUBMIT to MENTORSHIP. Don’t be a SHEEP without a SHEPHERD. Greatness is within your reach, cleave to the wind – the Holy Spirit – He will glide you to greatness if you are willing and obedient.

Greatness Is Within Your Reach. It’s Time For Productivity – THE EAGLE WAY.

I PRAY YOU LEARN WISDOM TODAY.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATING IN THE TRINITY OF – GRACE, LOVE AND COMMUNION!

Month MARCH by the Gregorian calendar year, is the third in the numbering of the months. And TODAY is the THIRD Day of The THIRD Month – MARCH of the year. And the number Three (3) speaks of TRINITY, as well as PERFECTION, meaning UNITY, COMPLETENESS, FULNESS, MATURITY and WHOLENESS.

And as in TRINITY in our BENEDICTION, we can appropriate the fullness, wholeness, unity, completeness, perfection and maturity of our GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION, in our REDEMPTION rights and privileges, as MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in the light of the scriptures, as it’s written:

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

“For there are THREE that bear RECORD in HEAVEN, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these three are one” 1 John 5:7.

It thus mean therefore, that our being Born Again as Believer in Christ Jesus is a great news; but the KNOWING and APPROPRIATING that you ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, is more gracious and graceful. Hence, we need to APPROPRIATE the REDEMPTION rights and privileges in our moments to moments of DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

Also, the KNOWING that you are REDEEMED by virtue of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is awesome; but it’s your being able to APPROPRIATE the essence in your day to day living in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, as a REDEEMED child of God that is the most awesome, practical and productive in all.

And by the essence of the TRINITY in GRACE, LOVE and COMMUNION provisions in our REDEMPTION, you need to know it’s in your place in Christ Jesus, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT your redeemed position as MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. This is made possible for us to color our worlds and to enjoy to the fulfillment of the very Best of God in the face and phase of the changes and challenges in our WORLD of doing life today. And you must and should know without an iota of doubts that the journey begins NOW and NOT TOMORROW, in this walk in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

INCLINE YOUR EARS

INCLINE YOUR EARS – AND LET THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAK TO YOU!

Month March is the third month of the Gregorian Calendar year. And today is the THIRD Day of The THIRD Month – MARCH of the year. As the number Three (3) may have spoken of TRINITY, but it does also speaks of PERFECTION, meaning COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and WHOLENESS.

When last did you hear God speak by the Holy Spirit to you and how often. I don’t mean speaking through someone else but to you personally as His own sheep in your journey of grace with Him. It’s time to incline your ears to the Holy Spirit SAYINGS! Proverbs 4:18-22.

Let this month be the beginning of the WHEN you begin to hear God by the Holy Spirit speak to you, especially in these days of falsehood: false ministers and brethren in names, who are wolves in sheep clothing, who manifest as angels of lights and roars as the lion in their pretense to make their own good and gains out of you.

I pray you wholeness and completeness as you make your day to count and account for your good and goodness with the TRINITY, speaking into your wellbeing and you hearing the voice of God correspondingly.

“. . . My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  28 And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.  29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand.  30 I and My Father are one” John 10:1-30.

“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION: THE PRINCIPLE PHASES TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND!

I have come to know and understand in over four decades walking and working in grace, that there are four (4) principle phases or acts of Redemption, that every Born Child of God in Christ MUST come to know and understand, to help them APPROPRIATE and ENACT their REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus with ease.

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of these principle  phases or acts of REDEMPTION will keep you afloat in grace as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; otherwise one will be a wanderer and wondering in the congregation of IGNORANCE no matter how long you’ve been around ‘in Christ’ or ‘in Church life’. Knowledge and understanding DELIVERS!

THESE PRINCIPLE PHASES ARE:

**Phase 1. What God, through Christ DID FOR US in His great Substitution Work in Redemption.

**Phase 2. What the Holy Spirit, through the WORD, DOES IN US in the New Birth and in the in-filling of the Holy Spirit.

**Phase 3. What Jesus is DOING FOR US now in His Present-Day Ministry at the Right-Hand of Father God.

**Phase 4. What His WORD and His LOVE DO THROUGH US in Gospel Ministry.

Knowing and understanding these will change your in look (Insights) and outlook (Foresights) in Redemption. Appropriating and Enacting your MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION will BECOME ease and norm in living and doing life.

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY (PATH) of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Ignorant, unproductive, inactive, inoperative)” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

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

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

You Are MORE Than: That Mountain, Valley, Crooked Roads And Rough Places!

You Are MORE Than: That Mountain, Valley, Crooked Roads And Rough Places!

No matter the size of your mountain, valley, rough places and crooked roads in life today, be assured that you are MORE, much MORE THAN all the forces and cohorts against you put together. You are MORE THAN you can think or imagine of yourself because the greater one lives inside you. You are of MORE VALUE THAN all the forces of intimidation and complexes and fears that are about you right now. It’s simply because you ARE of God! And the MORE THAN ABLE and SUPERABUNDANTLY God, MADE you priceless!!

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU, THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD” 1 John 4:4.

“Now to Him who is ABLE to [carry out His PURPOSE and] do SUPERABUNDANTLY MORE THAN all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His POWER that is at work within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen” Ephesians 3:20-21 Amplified.

You ARE the reason for redemption, much more for the earth’s creation, so rise up in faith on your feet right now and dress up for the throne as Biblical Joseph did – Genesis 41:14; and behold the glory of the Lord God that is risen upon you, in you and with you. Isaiah 45:11-12; Psalms 8:4-8; Psalms 115:16.

“. . . 14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he SHAVED himself, and CHANGED his raiment, and CAME in unto Pharaoh . . .” Genesis 41:1-57.

I speak forth the grace of the Spirit of “MORE THAN CONQUERORS” to captivate and elevate you from every dust to delight, every shame to fame, every disappointment to appointment, every sickness to divine healing and health, from every financial limitations, malady, and setbacks to financial prosperity and breakthroughs, from every failure to success, from fear to faith, assurance and confidence and much more beyond mortal utterances in the redemptive names of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Therefore, ARISE! go forth and shine, celebrate and testify to the glory of the Lord God for your day is dawn and new you is come today, right now and in MONTH MARCH. For the burden and yoke you see before, you will see and witness them no more forever in the name of Jesus, Amen.

This is your month that the Lord God had made and you shall eat the good of the land in peace, love, and joy in the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Know full well in Christ Jesus, you are awesomely positioned to achieve and become in life; and your new you and name shall be Brother/Sister ‘MORE THAN CONQUERORS’ over all things that once limited you or stood in your path to success, opportunities, and prosperity.

May the month of MARCH become your month of great change for receiving and enjoying the good of the land in the land of the Living.

God forth in grace into Month March, appropriating your REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead, for you ARE MORE THAN that mountain, valley, crooked roads and rough places that’s before you right now.
