ABIDING IN GOD’S PRESENCE: IT’S ABIDING IN HIS WORD AND ABIDING IN HIS LOVE!

“If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ASK WHAT YE WILL, and it shall be DONE unto you . . . 10 If ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, ye shall ABIDE in MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE” John 15:7, 10.

It’s our moment of time to abide in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his presence; for it’s our PATH for the FULLNESS of JOY and PLEASURE for EVERMORE. For ABIDING in God’s presence, is to ABIDE in His WORD and to ABIDE in His LOVE – and there’s NOTHING else MORE or LESS to it.

“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 16:11.

Moses demands from  the Father God to show him “THE WAY” to life. In other words, “THE PATH” to true life that makes one to THRIVE, be FRUITFUL, be FULFILLED meaningfully in the FULLNESS of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

And as Moses did experience, we need to have and enjoy the PATH of life that brings about the FULLNESS of God’s joy and the PLEASURES that is evermore; and must determine with gracious hearts to abide in His presence.

And to ABIDE in God’s PRESENCES is to – ABIDE IN HIS WORD AND IN HIS LOVE – nothing more and Nothing less. This is the PATH and the HOW for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory to thrive, blossom, refresh and rejuvenate, in God’s gracious presence in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the knowing that we are called to a place of FELLOWSHIP in Christ Jesus, in order to enhance our redeemed RELATIONSHIP, should make us wants to abide in His presence by His WORD and His LOVE, for He’s a FAITHFUL God to keep us in His BLESSEDNESS.

“God is FAITHFUL [He is reliable, trustworthy and ever true to His promise—He can be depended on], and through Him you were CALLED into FELLOWSHIP with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9/Amplified.

“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.

“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/Amplified.

Therefore, ABIDE in God’s LOVE and His WORD in order to enjoy his PRESENCE – it’s your path for the FULLNESS of JOY AND PLEASURE for EVERMORE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 12 And Moses said unto the Lord, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, SHEW ME NOW THY WAY, THAT I MAY KNOW THEE, THAT I MAY FIND GRACE IN THY SIGHT: and consider that this nation is thy people. 14 And he said, My PRESENCE shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest. 15 And he said unto him, If thy PRESENCE go not with me, carry us not up hence. . .” Exodus 33.

“. . . 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye ABIDE in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that ABIDETH in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE in my LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you . . .” John 15:1-16.

THE GOSPEL: THE POWER OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

THE GOSPEL: THE POWER OF GOD – TO HUMAN SALVATION!

“. . . 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:17-25.

The GOSPEL is about the CROSS, the CROSS is about CHRIST JESUS, and CHRIST JESUS is the POWER of God, the POWER of God is about human SALVATION – and NOTHING ELSE; otherwise, it’s more to human BONDAGES, PERVERSIONS, DISTORTIONS AND ADULTERATIONS.

“. . . 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:1-8.

The Gospel is to PREACH Christ Jesus, who is THE WORD made manifest in the flesh, that brings about COMPLETE and WHOLESOME REDEMPTION of God to all of mankind that looks up to Him. If you must PREACH THE GOSPEL, PREACH THE WORD, PREACH CHRIST JESUS, then THE WORD which is CHRIST JESUS, the SAVIOUR and LORD, will bring about human SALVATION – ANSWERS to all human QUEST.

“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 3:16.

“And THE WORD was made FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.

Therefore, if the Gospel you are hearing or listening to, or receiving, does not LIBERATE you in Christ Jesus stead, throw it into the bin – discard it, I mean seriously, otherwise, you will end up in more BONDAGES than you anticipated. Your EARS and well-being is not made for garbage and as trash can for rubbish ADULTERATIONS.

“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” Philippians 1:15-18.

The Gospel gives life and meaning to a gracious and graceful living. The GOSPEL brings ABOUT the POWER of God unto human – DELIVERANCE, HEALING, PEACE, TRANQUILITY, SOUNDNESS, VICTORY, TRIUMPH, MERCY, FORGIVENESS, JOY such like the more irrespective.

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with ONE ACCORD GAVE HEED unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the MIRACLES which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 AND THERE WAS GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY” Acts 8:4-8.

For the GOSPEL is not a religion, not a DOCTRINE and more so, not a PROPHECY awaiting to happen to you, nor is it a sectarianism and denominationalism and any traditional dogmas, creeds, bylaws and philosophy to adhere toward. The Gospel is the life, the very life of Father God, in Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, in us [1 John 4:4-6; Acts 17:28; 1 John 5:7]. As such, FLEE from every contrary and live in the liberty wherein Christ Jesus had MADE you WHOLE and FREE in Father God’s BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

There’s therefore, no reason for anyone born of God, to be ashamed of the Gospel of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, because the Gospel is designed of God as an access to all humans salvation who seeks and craves to received the message therein – which is repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ as written:

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from FAITH to FAITH: as it is written, The JUST shall LIVE by FAITH” Romans 1:16-17.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

I welcome you today to receive and equally preach the GOSPEL, for therein is the POWER of God to human SALVATION which embodiment includes – Deliverance, Healing, Health, Peace, Safety, Security, enrichment and such like.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you PUBLICKLY, and from HOUSE TO HOUSE, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“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.

“For Christ SENT me not to baptize, but to PREACH THE GOSPEL: not with wisdom of words, lest the CROSS of Christ should be made of none effect. 18 For the PREACHING of the CROSS is to them that perish FOOLISHNESS; but unto us which are SAVED it is the POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ CRUCIFIED, unto the Jews a STUMBLINGBLOCK, and unto the Greeks FOOLISHNESS; 24 but unto them which ARE CALLED, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:17-25.

“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 . . . 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:1-5, 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.

“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” Philippians 1:15-18.

DON’T TALK ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN BUT SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN INSTEAD: YOUR MOUTH IS GOD’S MOUTH TO LEVEL THE MOUNTAIN IF YOU BELIEVE!

“WHO ART THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME A PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:7.

HAVE YOU DWELL LONG ENOUGH ON THE MOUNT? And are you STRUGGLING or at STANDSTILL in your PATH of progress?

Know for sure that MOUNTAIN’S are long-standing road blocks on your path to progress. You need to SPEAK to it and not TALK about it.

You can by today and through this month overturn THAT  MOUNTAIN to become a plain by SPEAKING FORTH to it right now as Jesus AUTHORISED in Mark 11:23 and the Angel spoke in respect for Zerubbabel AUTHORITATIVELY in Zachariah 4:7, and you can then experience the outpouring of God’s BLESSEDNESS in the GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

YOUR MOUTH DEFINES YOU – BELIEVE and SPEAK FORTH to your triumph, victory, overcoming, and more than conquerors and such like, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore thus saith the Lord, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, THOU SHALT BE AS MY MOUTH: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them” Jeremiah 15:19.

THEREFORE, DON’T TALK ABOUT THE MOUNTAIN BUT SPEAK TO THE MOUNTAIN INSTEAD – FOR YOUR MOUTH IS GOD’S MOUTH TO LEVEL THE MOUNTAIN IF YOU BELIEVE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I will give you a MOUTH and WISDOM, which all your ADVERSARIES shall not be ABLE to GAINSAY nor RESIST” Luke 21:15.

“WHO ART THOU, O great MOUNTAIN? before Zerubbabel thou shalt BECOME A PLAIN: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it” Zechariah 4:7.

“For verily I SAY unto you, That whosoever shall SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:23-24.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE

By Leave a Comment

AN HOUR IN GOD’S PRESENCE: ENDEAVOUR TO PRACTICE IT DAILY – YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT!

“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.

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did ask the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles. And can you today say yes to same question as it’s written:

“. . . 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” . . .” Matthew 26:36-56.

The above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and still now Christian FAITH set motto, that have served as my PRAYER guildrails, daily reminder and guidance through the years – it’s been a default of disciplinary measures in helping and keeping me to be alert and awake in enjoying God’s PRESENCE daily – and the statement motto reads:

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK”

My dear fellow Believer’s in the grace, it’s important you know for sure the implications of the statement – SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS THAT MAKES ONE WEAK – and one act to note about the statement is this: our fellowship with Father God through the act of prayers to enhance our relationship with Him, will be weakened in the faith.  That’s why, any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in Father God’s presence a whole day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly. When one of Jesus Disciples [Apostle Peter to be precised], couldn’t WATCH and PRAY for an hour with the Lord, he was prone to fall into trouble, because the FLESH rules kick-in and he made a wrong judgment of the spiritual attitude to a challenging incidence. He did the unexpected thing – by cutting off one called Malchus ears with the sword with a slight provocation [Matthew 26:51-53; John 18:10]. If he did watch for an hour with Jesus Christ in Father God presence, he would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. And many are guilty as such in many various ways today.

The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that? and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided instead of standing up and contending for their FAITH toward God, in Christ Jesus. [Romans 5:1-2; 1 Peter 5:8-9; Jude 1:3-4].

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: An hour in God’s PRESENCE – make it an ESSENCE for your well being in life and godliness. For It’s your path of life for your fullness of joy and pleasure for ever more. [Psalms 16:11].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 16:11.

“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.

“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” 1 Peter 5:8-9.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus” John 18:10.

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and PRAY over there.” 37 And He TOOK with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, “WHAT! COULD YOU NOT WATCH WITH ME ONE HOUR? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them ASLEEP again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING AND RESTING? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . .  51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56/NKJV.

EXCELLENCE IS PURE

By Leave a Comment

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

“HOLDING the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, AND TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this: “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY DO AS LONG AS GOD STILL LOVES THEM’,  I begin to wonder what this life of grace has become to some, especially in the 21st century. Is it true that God STILL LOVES US IN FAITH NO MATTER WHAT WE DO? Who then will QUESTION the UNSAVED and what right do we have then to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the unsaved. Then the Scripture of Romans comes to mind, that we can’t continue in sin in the name of grace. And we can’t continue also in the fleshy [carnal] ways of doing life that’s contrary to the freedom we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus, as caution against in the Galatians scripture, otherwise we will be without guildrails to enable and ensure we stay secured in the grace from the enemy and cohorts intent on  our redemption.

“What shall we say [to all this]? Should we CONTINUE IN SIN and PRACTICE SIN as a habit so that [God’s gift of] GRACE may increase and overflow? 2 CERTAINLY NOT! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, CONTINUE to live in it any longer? 3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” Romans 6:1-3/Amplified.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do NOT BE SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only do not let your freedom become an OPPORTUNITY for the SINFUL nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.

Know full well that God LOVES us, but that does not mean He does COMMEND a life being lived outside His WORD. As I have always said time and again that our God will ONLY COMMEND what He had COMMAND and ORDERED. All things [good or bad] will work together for the good of those who not only love God BUT walk and do life according to the course of His Word in Purpose just as Jesus Christ did in humanity. [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12;  John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].

Many times, God’s purposes of excellence to us, is so clear before us, but we need to walk and work in the course of that envisioned covenant of His grace; and if one begin to do any act of life outside His Word, we will surely loose out in our place of grace to excel. Apostle Paul says this in Galatians 2:21 “I do not FRUSTRATE the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”. Meaning I do not do things that will make the GRACE of  God INOPERATIVE and INEFFECTIVE in my life. Amen.

An example of FRUSTRATING GRACE to rob one of EXCELLENCE in Christ Jesus stead is as this:

What happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for an envisioned excellency to attain, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives in the SCRIPTURAL context as found in Genesis 49:1-4. You can’t eat your cake and have it. Grace for EXCELLENCE is not cheap or not to be taken for granted and done with despite as Hebrews 10:29 warns and enjoins:

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace?”

When you look through the heroes of Faith in Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will noticed after Patriarch Jacob, the next name that comes is Patriarch Joseph instead of Patriarch Reuben, though he was his father’s excellency of dignity and first born worthy of double honour as the Scripture does recommend – Genesis 49:3; Deuteronomy 21:15-17; Genesis 25:31-33. That’s why you must be on guard on your ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE to avoid derailing in the grace of actualising your place in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead, of our REDEMPTION in Him. Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Ephesians 1:7 (Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your PATH OF LIFE to the ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE. [1 Timothy 3:9; Philippians 4:8]. Therefore, answer yourself this question – Is it Scriptural true, that, it doesn’t matter what people do simply because God loves them? – [Romans 6:1-4; Galatians 5:1, 13].

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE

Nothing LESS Than God’s PRESENCE: That’s All You NEED Today – To Make Your Difference!

“As the deer PANTS for the water brooks, So PANTS my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul THIRSTS for God, for the LIVING God. When shall I come and APPEAR before God? . . .” Psalms 42 NKJV.

For the FULNESS of unspeakable, thriving and rejuvenating Joy and God’s pleasures –  NOTHING LESS than His PRESENCE, is all that’s needed today to make life a living worth – meaningful and purposeful. That’s how to enjoy being blessed and seated in the heavenly places at the right hand of Father God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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 16:11.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ . . . 20 which he wrought in Christ, when He RAISED him from the dead, and set him at his own RIGHT HAND in the HEAVENLY PLACES” Ephesians 1:3, 20.

“And hath RAISED US UP TOGETHER, and MADE US SIT TOGETHER in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ Jesus” Ephesians 2:6.

It’s time to STOP RUNNING after men to secure God’s PRESENCE; and you must know that, no matter the class, status, title and decorum of any man, none should stand between you and God. No more should you let any man of any worth or status, become your in-between, for there’s no other NAME under heaven GIVEN among men – except Jesus Christ – by which, our SALVATION from God is to come to realisation and actualisation. He’s out only mediator, advocate and justifier with God.

“Neither is there SALVATION in any other: for there is NONE OTHER NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we MUST be SAVED” Acts 4:12.

“For there is one God, and one MEDIATOR between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” 1 Timothy 2:5.

“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.

Moses knew best, hence, he refuses anything less than God’s PRESENCE. That’s all that was needed and it’s needed in today’s changing and challenging world and times. [Exodus 33].

Remarkably, our Lord Jesus Christ in humanity, though He was ANOINTED to carry on the Kingdom cause for which He came, NEEDED also, the abounding love PRESENCE of our Father God to keep Him keeping on. How much more could we need God now then ever. [Acts 10:38; Mark 1:35].

Much more, God had promised to be with us always as long as we are in the path of life that is of His WILL, in His WORD in His Kingdom causes. [Matthew 28:19-20].

Crave for God’s presence today I plead with you, in order to enjoy His abounding grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“. . . Then Moses said to the Lord, “See, You say to me, ‘Bring up this people.’ But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, ‘I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.’ 13 Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, SHOW ME NOW YOUR WAY, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.” 14 And He said, “MY PRESENCE WILL GO WITH YOU, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.” 15 Then he said to Him, “IF YOUR PRESENCE DOES NOT GO WITH US, DO NOT BRING US UP FROM HERE. 16 For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.” 17 So the Lord said to Moses, “I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found grace in My sight, and I know you by your name . . .” Exodus 33 NKJV.

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAY, even unto the end of the world. Amen” Matthew 28:19-20.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT

PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT: ENVISION IN FAITH – BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION!

“For I know the PLANS and THOUGHTS that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘PLANS for PEACE and WELL-BEING and not for DISASTER, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE” Jeremiah 29:11 Amplified.

God’s PLANS and INTENTS for us is always for the good and best at anytime, anywhere, anyhow and anyway – Jeremiah 29:11; but many times we’ve FAILED in our mission to excel and be established in life because our mission has not got CLEARANCE – a clear cut VISION – from the start; and sometimes in not being obedient to the ENVISIONED cause through the course of that mission that we’ve embarked upon. It’s wise to ENVISION – know and understand the PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – before launching out on any project, in the cause and course of doing life and living godly with God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will STAND UPON MY WATCH, and set me upon the tower, and will WATCH TO SEE what he will SAY UNTO ME, and what I shall ANSWER when I am REPROVED. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN UPON TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED TIME, but at the end it shall SPEAK, and NOT LIE: though it TARRY, WAIT for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the JUST shall LIVE by HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

Where there’s no envision PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT before a mission is embarked on, not only that PEOPLE PERISHED, but other valuable and important resources in used for that mission, such as – MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT], FINANCE, TIME and EFFORT are also wasted; consequently, the expected intent – damaged, destroyed and probably comes to the end or the death of such project  endeavour.

“Where there is NO VISION, the people PERISH: but he that KEEPETH the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.

The horse, that is, RESOURCE for mission needs to be PREPARED with a clear cut vision before that mission is embarked upon in order to be FULFILLED and have an EXCELLENT result at the end of the day.

“The HORSE is PREPARED against the DAY of BATTLE: but SAFETY is of the Lord” (Proverbs 21:31).

Therefore, to enhance us in the cause and course of doing life and living godly, I offer this consciousness, knowing it’s APPLICABLE to any phase in life though not limited – for example:

** A Student needs to envision what course to study before sourcing the books to enhance such career, otherwise, the diligent effort of study on a course with the wrong books will be a wasted and wasteful endeavour at the end of the day.

** A person that’s leaves the house to the shopping centre AIMLESSLY, that is, with UNPLANNED [written and itemised] expending, will end up expending on things that’s not needed at the expense of the needful. It thus means, if the only amount of money that’s available is for the needful – which supposedly for now, the needful is to buy grocery to prepare just a meal for the lovely children, it will not be achieved. You can see that such a person may have end up buying the item’s that’s good (clothing, shoes and such like) but not the needed and needful at the particular moment; and some may only have realised upon returning home, while meeting with the hungry kids awaiting for food on the table, that the realisation hits the individual of a bad and wrong timely decision. Such behaviour happens among people all the time – in business, family, marriage, relationship, governance, leadership, career and such like. Just pause and think about it.

Therefore I say to you – ‘ENVISION BEFORE EMBARKING ON ANY MISSION’ – it saves one from expending unwisely on these given resources of doing life and living godly to all: TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL and EFFORT (SKILLS/TALENT).

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

“GOD IS FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.

ENVISION The WAGON

By Leave a Comment

ENVISION THE WAGON: WHEN YOU ENVISION THE WAGON – YOU WILL BE REVIVED AS JACOB!

“And they went up out of Egypt, and came into the land of Canaan unto Jacob their father,  26 and told him, saying, JOSEPH IS YET ALIVE, and HE IS GOVERNOR over all the land of Egypt. And Jacob’s HEART FAINTED, FOR HE BELIEVED THEM NOT.  27 And they TOLD him all the WORDS of Joseph, which he had said unto them: AND WHEN HE SAW THE WAGONS which Joseph had sent to carry him, the SPIRIT of Jacob their father REVIVED:  28 and Israel said, It is ENOUGH; Joseph my son is yet ALIVE: I WILL GO AND SEE HIM BEFORE I DIE” Genesis 45:25-28.

There’s no one who despises any HEALTHY OPPORTUNITY to RISE above the NORM. I am yet to find one. Let me know where I am wrong, I’ll humbly submit to corrections if you’ve known or found one. Not even the DEVILS will refuse such opportunities to BELIEVE as the scripture indicates that he does even BELIEVE too as written:

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also BELIEVE, and tremble” James 2:19.

When Jacob was told and pressured of the need to travel down to Egypt and see Joseph his once acclaimed dead son by his other children, he doubted their news. For, the being that Joseph was yet ALIVE after years of being told he’s dead, that beat his imagination and comprehension; and since he couldn’t have IMAGINE and ENVISION it real, he couldn’t BELIEVED them; especially when there’s already a supposedly shown living fact proof to him by his other children, that he was dead. This thus indicate, that sometimes in life, a mere shown fact proof you think you have seen and made to know, may be a mere FACT only, and does not necessarily present the TRUTH in whatsoever to believe on and to rely upon – immediately and permanently. And if it was this days, they could have been a funeral certificate given to ascertain Joseph absence, in the family records as one being dead. This can explain what most dear parents and family members who lost a child or loved ones and couldn’t have their body to lay to rest in grace are going through – silently in most cases. For such scenarios, it hurts and hunts them daily – especially for such absence over the years as I have come to meet few in such circumstances – in the cause of my Ministerial assignments in life and grace.

However, and when Jacob SAW the WAGON with the GOODNESS, ABUNDANCE and GOODIES accompanying the statement and request of Joseph through his other cowardice children on the errands, Jacob’s WEAKENED spirit-being, was REVIVED – that is to say – CAME ALIVE from the UNBELIEVING state of being to a BELIEVING state of being.

If you can give room to ENVISION God’s plan, Purpose, Pursuit for your life, with the needed WAGON and ASSOCIATES to keep your faith and total being ALIVE, won’t you come along to take the opportunity’s? And, can you even see that the needed grace of God’s BLESSEDNESS wherein you stand in faith on Christ Jesus stead is always set to be activated with ease on your behalf? This I know and understands very well, hence, I am emboldened to share with you likewise. In fact, your act of PRAYER life and FAITH life, will change for good and the best if you can ENVISION – and I can say that to you emphatically and unreservedly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The WAGONS and GOODIES that Jacob SAW REVIVED [QUICKENED] him, to keep him alive and to make him take the next step or leap of faith to see his supposedly lost son Joseph and to live for MORE years instead of hoping for death where there’s an opportunity to live. There’s a far better place to be in life and grace in Christ Jesus stead – it’s far better to be with Jacob reviving WAGONS and GOODIES position, than to stay still in poverty and lack, shouting “I RECEIVE”, I RECEIVE”, “I RECEIVE”  . . . for nothing, due to a no act to see or envision the need to become well and whole again – as SCRIPTURALLY given in God’s willed inheritance for you and all believing one’s, in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The Scripture of Ephesians 1:3 did say God has BLESSED us, meaning empowered is to succeed in His grace in Christ Jesus. More so, in 2 Peter 1:1-4, He has GIVEN us all things that pertains to ensuring this life doings and godliness [godly living], in Christ Jesus. Amen. However, this enabling of God, comes through knowledge and acknowledgement [envisioning], in order to bring it to fruition – reality, and to make it tangible in the grace. [Philemon 1:6.]. Therefore, it’s within us to envision God’s promised WORD in every context as it affects our life challenges, for it’s as we study the scriptures to know them, that’s when we are able to enact and authenticate them to reality in doing life and living godly in the grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

In this context, I don’t mean having a day DREAMING imaginations, but by ENVISIONING by the knowledge of WORD as it affects any context of question in our being. Joseph had a VISION of a gracious and graceful life years before it happens. And the Father Jacob who recalled of his son dream (envisioned) years before and by what he later SAW – the WAGONS – is enough to give him a clarity and clearer insights and foresights – by what his son Joseph sent along; the sent WAGON helps him ENVISION the reality of a possible Joseph as told him by the children; and the affirmation to the ENVISIONED dream that Joseph shared to him and family years ago.

I PRAY that your insights and foresights of a possible today and tomorrow might be ENVISIONED in your cause of doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead, Amen.

And they hated him yet the more for his dreams, and for his words. 9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. 10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren: and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
