GRATITUDE – THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

JESUS CHRIST IN OUR REDEMPTION

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And he GAVE some, APOSTLES; and some, PROPHETS; and some, EVANGELISTS; and some, PASTORS and TEACHERS; 12 for the PERFECTING (MATURING, EQUIPPING) of the saints, for the WORK of the ministry, for the EDIFYING of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the UNITY of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a PERFECT (MATURED) man, unto THE MEASURE of the STATURE of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be NO MORE children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but SPEAKING the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the WHOLE body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the EDIFYING of itself in love” Ephesians 4:11-16 (Emphasis Mine).

BEING FRUITFUL – BLOSSOMING, FLOURISHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE

By Leave a Comment

BEING FRUITFUL – BLOSSOMING, FLOURISHING AND REJUVENATING IN GRACE: FOR IN GOD IN GRACE IN CHRIST JESUS – AGE DOESN’T LIMIT ANY IN FRUITFULNESS!

God gives the enabling grace – anointing – to make us FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in Him. And it is an indication of Him being our ROCK and no UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in all His ways. Psalms 92:12-15; 2 Corinthians 5:21.

The act of FLOURISHING and FRUITFULNESS is not limited to few. It’s tangible, available, reachable and liveable to all, even at OLD age – FOR THERE’S NO LIMITATIONS IN GRACE – Galatians 3:26-29; Psalms 92:12-15. Hence, there’s no room to make excuse, complain, blame and to assume there’s someone responsible and accountable for your UNPRODUCTIVE and UNFRUITFUL state in life, when and while all signs and indications of blossoming and flourishing are there. If there’s anything to blame, it’s ones IGNORANCE to THINK that a mere blossoming and flourishing is sufficient without FRUITFULNESS. Unfortunately, God winked at ignorance. Acts 17:30-31.

Think about this – Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, while in humanity have to rebuke with a woe to the PHARISEES and SCRIBES, who thinks that a mere paying of their TITHE is sufficient to ACCESS God’s favour and to LEGISLATE spirituality, when they overlook the essence of  FRUITFULNESS and the fruitful character of JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITHFULNESS – Matthew 23:23. THINK about it – to BLOSSOM and FLOURISH but no FRUIT does not WIN God’s favour.

Therefore, get yourself PLANTED in the house of the Lord, in order to FLOURISH and be FRUITFUL in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Don’t be a POTTED plant that is not ROOTED in a place and taken about places, but rather be a PLANTED plant that is ROOTED in the house of the Lord, in order to experience not just the segment of flourishing and blossoming as a Palm tree and a cedar in labor, but as a FRUITFUL one in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Remember that Christ Jesus CURSED a fig tree that was BLOSSOMING and FLOURISHING without FRUIT and FRUITFULNESS. Mark 11:11-14.

I PRAY that you will be ROOTED in your PLANTED place such that you will BLOSSOM and FLOURISH in Grace, and become fruitful in all that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING – 2 Peter 1:2-4.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve. 12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was HUNGRY: 13 and seeing a FIG TREE AFAR OFF HAVING LEAVES, HE CAME, IF HAPLY HE MIGHT FIND ANY THING THEREON: AND WHEN HE CAME TO IT, HE FOUND NOTHING BUT LEAVES; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, NO MAN EAT FRUIT of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it” Mark 11:11-14.

“But my HORN [my emblem of strength and power] You have EXALTED like that of a wild ox; I am ANOINTED with FRESH OIL [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12  The righteous will FLOURISH like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will GROW like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will FLOURISH in the courts of our God. 14  [Growing in grace] they will still THRIVE and bear FRUIT and PROSPER in old age; They will FLOURISH and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my ROCK, and THERE IS NO UNRIGHTEOUSNESS in Him” Psalms 92:10-15 Amplified

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, hypocrites! For you give a TENTH (tithe) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on minor matters], and have NEGLECTED the weightier [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITHFULNESS; but these are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done without NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 Amplified.

“Let not then your good be evil spoken of: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that in these things serveth Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18.

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

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

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

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

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

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: ENABLED BY FAITH TO RELIEVED US FROM FEAR PHOBIAS!

There’s a uniqueness about your life that you need to harness to create the atmosphere you love to see and enjoy and to share with all about you, but it’s not coming into reality because the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS have taken over you to rule and reign over the FAITH that empowers you to succeed and prosper in God in Christ Jesus stead.

Know full well and for sure, that the BLESSEDNESS of God in you, it’s beautiful, adorable, precious, priceless, memorable, gracious and such like in Christ Jesus. Amen. You can only enhance and enact it’s presence by FAITH and not by FEAR. You can HARNESS it’s presence to enable you innovate, create, initiate and explore the fullness of God in you by FAITH and not by FEAR. Hence we are enjoined by the scripture to do life and godly living through walking by FAITH and not walking by SIGHT – senses (by what we – see, smell, taste, touch/feel and hear). For in the realm of sight (senses), there the spirit of FEAR PHOBIAS operates and manifest – thereby administering the characteristics and it’s effects.

“For we WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT [living our lives in a manner consistent with our confident belief in God’s promises]” 2 Corinthians 5:7 Amplified.

And by FAITH we live in triumph and victory over the world sense of governance in doing life and godly living in our dealing with matters on EARTH. FAITH is the heavenly kingdom de facto currency to trade in exchange of the heavenly to bring about the earthly affairs into reality. And the BLESSEDNESS of God, that is the potent enabling, only in manifestations and operations by faith as it’s written:

“For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

The great enemy of FAITH is FEAR. Fear is the enemy and cohorts policing officer to ridicule, torment,  embarrass, frighten, jeopardise, limit and such like, on any person set goals – purpose and plan. Fear intimidates, makes timidity, enslaves boldness and robs one of enhancing the GOOD and GOODNESS within that God in Christ Jesus has embedded in us as written:

“That the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

Young Timothy was gifted and ENDOWED with The BLESSEDNESS of God, but FEAR of the unknown and in taking a bold step, stopped him and made him inactive, timid and non functional  in the GRACE upon and within him. It took Apostle Paul to speak into him with reminder, awaken him and bring him to the reality of who he’s and what God has ENDOWED him. Reminding him to know, that what God has ENDOWED him with, he should not allow the spirit of FEAR to grip him and rob him of it. Thus indicating that FEAR is a spirit, meaning has a characteristics that must be overcome with by FAITH characteristics as it’s written:

“That is why I REMIND you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the special ENDOWMENT] which is in you through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

And by working in perfect – wholesome, complete and mature genuine LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead, in respect to God’s BLESSEDNESS in context, that’s what cast out – cast off, put off and sentence FEAR out of the vicinity. Simply because FAITH works by LOVE. The LOVE that operating and administering in the REDEMPTION rights and privileges of – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD; this LOVE that works by FAITH, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to any and irrespective, in Christ Jesus.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“For in Jesus Christ neither CIRCUMCISION availeth anything, nor UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

“Let LOVE be without DISSIMULATION (hypocrisy). Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good” Romans 12:9.

And there are over 365 Scriptures of “FEAR NOT” available to and for us in the holy writ, to enable us not to allow FEAR to rob us of living in TRIUMPH and VICTORY, being an OVERCOMER and a MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus stead. For Christ Jesus took our nature in humanity, thereby used the victory to help us subdued fear and the architect of fear – Satan and his cohorts; and by that we might and can serve God today, in holiness and righteousness without FEAR, all the days of our life in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, wake up from your slumbering state and the intimidating SPIRIT OF FEAR PHOBIAS to the empowering by FAITH, that you may be able to innovate, create, initiate and explore that which God has given us and set out in His plan, purpose and pursuit for you. And you can now arise to attend to the things that overtime would have made you have a meaningless and fulfilling life and godly living, in everyway, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

ACT ON FAITH TODAY AND NOT TOMORROW – THIS WILL ENHANCE THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD IN YOU – AND YOU WILL BE RELIEVED OF THE FEAR PHOBIAS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SOME SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT ON – FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT: SOWING The SEED OF RIGHTEOUSNESS – TO EFFECT THE PEACEABLE FRUIT(S) OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN YOU!

God wants you to be FRUITFUL in every way in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. His FRUIT(S) of RIGHTEOUSNESS are consequence of SOWING the SEED of RIGHTEOUSNESS. For like begat likes, just as a Lion don’t give birth to a Goat and a Mango fruit does not reproduce a Cashew fruit – Genesis 1:11-12; Matthew 12:33-36; Luke 6:43-45 . Our character fruit of righteousness will always reproduce after its kind as we continuously sow the character seed of righteousness in every way of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead.

And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNES which is PEACE toward God and humanity, has a corresponding EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, even as it’s written:

“And the WORK OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall be PEACE; and the EFFECT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS QUIETNESS and ASSURANCE for ever” Isaiah 32:17.

As a results of the WORK and EFFECT of RIGHTEOUSNESS in FRUITFULNESS, herein are SOME SCRIPTURAL WRIT PRINCIPLES that are worth pondering and noting:

1*. IT IS ONLY THE GOD OF ALL GRACE THAT’S ABLE TO INCREASE YOUR FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AS YOU SOW YOUR SEED:

“And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 NOW HE THAT MINISTERETH SEED TO THE SOWER BOTH MINISTER BREAD FOR YOUR FOOD, AND MULTIPLY YOUR SEED SOWN, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:8-11.

2*. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH:

“For ye were SOMETIMES darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: WALK as children of light: 9 (FOR THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is acceptable unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

3*. SOWING THE PEACE OF THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WORTH A LIVING:

“But the WISDOM that is from ABOVE (HEAVENLY) is first PURE, then PEACEABLE, GENTLE, and EASY to be intreated, full of MERCY and GOOD FRUITS, without PARTIALITY, and without HYPOCRISY. 18 And THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is SOWN in peace of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

4*. ENSURING GODLY CHASTENING THAT YIELDS THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS:

“. . .  11 Now no CHASTENING for the PRESENT seemeth to be joyous, but grievous (severe, painful): nevertheless afterward it YIELDETH THE PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are exercised thereby” Hebrews 12:1-11 Emphasis Mine.

  1. BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS MAKES YOU:

“And this I pray, that your LOVE may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; 10 that ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

  1. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS MUCH MORE THAN FOOD AND DRINK – IT’S ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, PEACE AND JOY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT:

“Let not then your GOOD BE EVIL SPOKEN OF: 17 for the kingdom of God is not MEAT (FOOD) and DRINK; but RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PEACE, and JOY in the Holy Ghost. 18 For he that IN THESE THINGS SERVETH Christ is ACCEPTABLE to God, and APPROVED of men” Romans 14:16-18 Emphasis Mine.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, THE HERB YIELDING SEED, AND THE FRUIT TREE YIELDING FRUIT AFTER HIS KIND, WHOSE SEED IS IN ITSELF, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good” Genesis 1:11-12.

“Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment” Matthew 12:33-36.

“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.

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY

By Leave a Comment

YOUR FAITH IS THE VICTORY – WHILE IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES: ONLY STAY STEADY IN THE WORD AND NOT IN THE NOISE!

“And of THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to KNOW what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; AND ALL THEIR BRETHREN WERE AT THEIR COMMANDMENT” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

It’s time to REDEEM the time by UNDERSTANDING the moment wherein you are by the GRACE wherein you STAND upon in Christ Jesus stead. There are so many NOISE, NOSY, ANALYTICAL and NOISY people everywhere at this present global challenges in ECONOMIC, WAR, POLITICAL and PANDEMIC state of the world; and the consequence on individual, national and global impact are already having great, great effect by the various analysis and or analyst. Lots of family and nations are already on ECONOMIC meltdown, painful job losses and bereavement of love ones and acquittance; and more so, lots of businesses are remodelling their nature and outfits to suit the changes in time; and except an individual, just as the respective businesses, do an upgrade by INNOVATING, CREATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING in the way of doing life with the changes in time, it may be difficult to fit into this anchor leg of rat race to become and stay stable.

And unfortunately, lots of people are geared towards the noise around and about them, on a daily basis, rather than taking advantage of the moment to AWAKE from their sleep and slumbering statuesque – and to look inward for an onward and upward trajectory match – and to get the illumination and enlightening that’s needed in order to update and upgrade skills and experience – and the to acquire the needed know-how to take and get to the next phase or segment that shows up. The present moment calls for an inward and outward global view of life and how to take it along to affect and effect oneself for good – both locally, nationally and in many other respects internationally; and this awakening call from a slumbering statuesque is gracious and empowering, in order to make one to EXPLORE, CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE and MANOEUVRE into a better and best phase in all that pertains to doing life, while in the moment, and when all is done and over. It’s God’s intent to deliver us from the present EVIL times but we have to awake through understanding our times in grace.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, THAT HE MIGHT DELIVER US FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

It’s UNDERSTANDING the TIMES to plan, evolve, explore, create, initiate by the WORD of God through FAITH for the UNSEEN to be made SEEN – that is, to be made REAL because of your God given endowment within (Hebrews 11:1-3). It’s time to put on the gear of FAITH to plan, prepare and pursue through DILIGENCE, that VISION that you’ve written, which only your eyes have seen, ears have heard and not yet in any man’s thoughts or ideals – (Habakkuk 2:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10). It’s time to make that SET VISION simplified to your understanding – that is, to read it over and over again, until it develops within you before you take a FLIGHT – I mean, to RUN with it. You have no reason to FAIL by faith. FAITH gives the VICTORY and TRIUMPH; and the enabling to OVERCOME graciously and gracefully OVER the world set system and impact in our lives.

My earnest PRAYER would be that you as a child of God, is not left behind in been able to do LIFE and live GODLY because you are overwhelmed of the changes that will confront or already confronting your FAITH in Christ Jesus stead; and to some, are unfortunately  UNPREPARED as the HORSE, to DILIGENTLY win their day to day by the grace of God wherein they stand.

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH: THE INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER – TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE!

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace, supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.

Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled and mean people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29.

Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus.

However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertains to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons:

** VIRTUE

** KNOWLEDGE

** TEMPERANCE

** PATIENCE

** GODLINESS

** BROTHERLY KINDNESS

** CHARITY (LOVE)

These add-ons ingredients of CHARACTER, makes you abound in your CHARISMATIC grace, and more so, as you stay DILIGENT in FAITH. It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited:

“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”

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway of living and doing life, as you ADD TO YOUR FAITH THESE NECESSARY ADD-ONS INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER, TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
