THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS THE EAGLE

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS THE EAGLE: IT’S TIME TO DRESS UP FOR YOUR THRONE!

The Eagle Way is to DRESS for the throne you’ve envisioned and dreamed of BECOMING, even as Joseph did, no matter what it takes and the odds about you on every side. For FAITHFUL is our God that promise and will do it.

“Let us seize and hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is reliable and trustworthy and faithful [to His word]” Hebrews 10:23.

“Faithful and absolutely trustworthy is He who is calling you [to Himself for your salvation], and He will do it [He will fulfill His call by making you holy, guarding you, watching over you, and protecting you as His own]” 1 Thessalonians 5:24 Amplified.

It’s time to Get Up, Dress Up, Show Up and Never Give Up, because your time to manifest that envisioned graciousness and gracefulness within you is come, as Joseph did.

For Joseph to become his TIMELINE vision and dream, he did not hesitate to SHAVED himself, and CHANGED his RAIMENT and DRESS UP to answer his time call to become the PRIME MINISTER of the first civilized nation – Egypt, even from the prison dungeon, when the king time call was available. He may have been in PRISON, but wasn’t IMPRISONED in his VISION and DREAM to become somebody of WORTH, NOBLE, HONOUR and GRACE. He outlived what his situation and circumstances tends to define him with by the definition he has of himself by the graciousness and gracefulness of God.

What do you THINK of yourself? What WORTH have you placed upon yourself? Do you BELIEVE in your vision and dream? Are you SET for your definition when the timeline comes? Don’t be a SPECTATOR, be a PARTICIPANT, be the SPECTACULAR display for others watch.

It’s time to SOAR. It’s time to GLIDE. Your DEFINITION timeline is come. Now DRESS UP for the throne. And I pray that God’s enabling grace, wisdom and speed may abound to give you the needed leverage to SOAR and GLIDE in every way in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary” Jeremiah 17:12.

“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 . . . 37 And the thing was GOOD in the EYES of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants. 38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? 39 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: 40 thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. 41 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have SET thee over ALL the land of Egypt. 42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph’s hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt . . .” Genesis 41:14, 37-57.

“He SENT A MAN before them, even JOSEPH, who was sold for a servant: 18 whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19 until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him. 20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: 22 to bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom” Psalms 105:17-22.

“And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan. 2 These are the generations of Jacob. JOSEPH, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and JOSEPH brought unto his father their evil report. 3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. 4 And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him. 5 AND JOSEPH DREAMED A DREAM, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more. 6 And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed: 7 for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. 8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? AND THEY HATED HIM YET THE MORE FOR HIS DREAMS, AND FOR HIS WORDS” Genesis 37:1-8.

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit” Joel 2:28-29.

WORLD BOOK DAY: THE WRITTEN WRIT

By Leave a Comment

WORLD BOOK DAY: THE WRITTEN WRIT – IS THE WRITTEN WORD!

I hereby present a written paper shared on a major news network, that its content is still relevant today as I watched the discussion on live TV then and later found the transcripts as written. Kindly read. I hope you get inspired and empowered as I did then and now as entitled:

“PAPER VS TECHNOLOGY” – JULE LANGHEIN.

“Whoever decided that one cancels out the other?” PAPER users are not waging war nor mounting a great defense against TECHNOLOGY. In fact we embrace it. Most of us stationery lovers own the new smart phones, computers and many other digital devices but this technology hasn’t pushed paper out of our lives or rendered it obsolete – We just changed the way we use it.

I have watched over the year’s paper users create their own beautiful and very unique mix of everything they wanted and needed to hand and this has never stopped evolving. It’s up to the individual to create their ideal collaboration between paper based and digital devices, a mix that works for them.

Technology can connect you to the world at the touch of a button but the act of writing and the use of paper connect us to ourselves.

Technology is immediate and fast paced but paper is intimate, personal and permanent and it’s never stopped working.

So if we stationery lovers are fighting anything, then it’s a battle of perceptions.

The facts are that some things are great digital but many better physical and there is plenty of room for both.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Oh that MY WORDS were now WRITTEN! oh that they were PRINTED in a BOOK! 24 That they were GRAVEN with an IRON PEN AND LEAD in the ROCK FOR EVER!” Job 19:23-24.

“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not WRITTEN in this book: 31 but these are WRITTEN, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” John 20:30-31.

“Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full” 2 John 1:12.

“I had many things to write, but I will not with ink and pen write unto thee: 14 but I trust I shall shortly see thee, and we shall speak face to face” 3 John 1:13-14.

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023

WELCOME TO MONTH MARCH 2023: MONTH TO DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S ENABLING – POWER AND GRACE!

To dare to live by God’s *POWER AND GRACE* is toward being earthly useful and heavenly mindful, in order to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s PURPOSE concerning you – in life and godliness.

“And with GREAT POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and GREAT GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

Living in the fullness of God in Christ Jesus stead does not come by accident or coincidence but by the consequence of God’s WORD that’s set in REDEMPTION default-motion, to fulfill His PURPOSE, by His enabling GRACE and POWER, to enact His BLESSEDNESS toward us, in Christ Jesus stead for His PLEASURE.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive GLORY and HONOUR and POWER: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy PLEASURE they are and were created” Revelation 4:11.

For we are CREATED and MADE by God’s design as in all creation, for His PLEASURE.

Hence all glory, honor and power are of God and for God in Christ Jesus stead as written.

** What then is God’s POWER? – It is the enabling of God to FUNCTION and PERFORM in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

** What then is God’s GRACE – The enabling of God to BECOME in Life and Godliness – toward God’s PURPOSE.

I want you to know full well, that God’s POWER in context, it’s not magical or a curious acts; and neither is it, mystical, occultic nor sorcery or attributes to demonic divination and witchcraft as we do see in many places of gathering, in the name of ‘signs and wonders and miracles’ in quotes.

Therefore, know for certain that what I am sharing here is about the enabling of God that MAKES and POSITION one with DARING spirit in life, to enable one FUNCTION by God’s Spirit and might, quickening one’s inability and weakness, in order to FULFILL Gods PURPOSE in LIFE and GODLINESS. (Acts 1:8; Zechariah 4:6/Ephesians 6:10, 19; Romans 8:28-30; 2 Peter 1:3-4).

It’s time to know again that your ABILITIES are IRRELEVANT to God’s ABILITY. And God only needs your AVAILABILITY and not your ABILITY if you must FUNCTION in His stead and BECOME in His stead. That is the exact picture God gave to Apostle Paul for him to genuinely carry His inspiration, revelation and empowerment to write more than anyone, of the New Testament Epistles.

For Apostle Paul to attained to the excellency of God in Christ Jesus, he considered his human ABILITY as dung in order to FUNCTION by God’s POWER and BECOME by His GRACE – though being a learned Lawyer under Sanhedrin, circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless. Philippians 3:4-8.

To authenticate the essence of God’s POWER and GRACE, each time Apostle Paul tried to use his ABILITY to do God’s Kingdom Business, he was denied over and over again. All he hears from God was – “My GRACE is sufficient to make you BE – BECOME, while My POWER is made mighty in your availability to make you FUNCTIONAL in His PURPOSE. 2 Corinthians 12:9; Ephesians 1:11; Romans 8:28.

“Each time he said, “My GRACE is all you need. My POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can work through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT (Emphasis Mine).

Therefore, if you wants God’s POWER to FUNCTION and GRACE to BECOME in God’s PURPOSE, you need to make yourself AVAILABLE on God’s terms and not on yours – for your ABILITY is zero and of no consequence in matters of God, in His GRACE and POWER, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen!

“And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. 21 But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests? 22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ. 23 And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him: 24 but their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake BOLDLY in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE: YOU WILL BE STRONG AND STRENGTHEN – IN LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfillment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day to day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

** How do you endeavor to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

** How am you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by own intents and ability.

All these above and many other quest that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“And He said to me, “My GRACE is sufficient for you, for My STRENGHT is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the POWER of Christ may rest upon me” 2 Corinthians 12:9.

“Finally, my brethren, be STRONG in the Lord and in the power of His might . . . 19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth BOLDLY to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak BOLDLY, as I ought to speak” Ephesians 6:10, 19-20.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of Him who called us by GLORY and VIRTUE, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and PRECIOUS PROMISES, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

And they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket. 26 And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem. 29 And he spake BOLDLY in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him. 30 Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus” Acts 9:20-30.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS

By Leave a Comment

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!

There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.

TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:

** The caution and charge of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist, errors and mistaken conclusions through ignorance, making them to NEVER experience the POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.

** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of him in their twist, errors and mistaken intent and regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.

SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.

“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).

“My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.

“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.

“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.

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within

By Leave a Comment

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – The I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Every one craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thoughts. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfillment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) 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 5:22-25.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

“For with STAMMERING LIPS and ANOTHER TONGUE will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may CAUSE THE WEARY TO REST; and this is the REFRESHING: yet they would not hear” Isaiah 28:11-12.

“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” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

“With all prayer and petition PRAY [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] IN THE SPIRIT, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [a]God’s people” Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified).

“He has MADE everything BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also PLANTED ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Amplified).

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you . . .14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not RECEIVED the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have RECEIVED the Spirit of ADOPTION, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth WITNESS with our spirit, that we are the children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together . . . 26 Likewise the Spirit also HELPETH our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself maketh INTERCESSION for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that SEARCHETH the hearts KNOWETH what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh INTERCESSION for the saints according to the WILL of God” Romans 8:9-11, 14-17, 26-27.
