YOU NEED TO ENQUIRE WISELY WHILE DOING LIFE
YOU NEED TO ENQUIRE WISELY WHILE DOING LIFE: KNOWING IT’S SCRIPTURALLY UNWISE TO SAY – YESTERDAY IS BETTER THAN TODAY!
“Jesus Christ THE SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever” Hebrews 13:8.
It’s Scripturally WISE to say that BETTER is TODAY Than BEFORE – That’s Wisdom in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS; and it’s Scripturally UNWISE to say YESTERDAY is BETTER than TODAY and probably TOMORROW.
“SAY NOT thou, What is the CAUSE that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:10
One great error of errors, it’s when you pray or have prayed for an expectation of God to come to fruition and you go contradicting your expectations – by allowing yourself to be RULED afterwards by what your SENSES [see, hear, smell, taste, feel/touch] or by what the CIRCUMSTANCES around present before you; and that’s when you are not being RULED and EARNESTLY garrison by what you wants to see happen in the LIGHT of God’s WORD, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. You need to know for sure and certainly, that between WHEN YOU PRAY to God and an ANSWER is come to fruition, your SENSE of focus in the WORD of GRACE and FAITH is very important. Let the gracious WORDS proceeds out of your mouth in FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen
“And all bare HIM (JESUS) witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22.
“A man’s belly shall be SATISFIED with the FRUIT OF HIS MOUTH; and with the INCREASE of his LIPS shall he be FILLED. 21 DEATH and LIFE are in the POWER of the TONGUE: and they that LOVE it shall EAT the FRUIT thereof” Proverbs 18:20-21.
“Thou art SNARED with the WORDS OF THY MOUTH, thou art TAKEN with THE WORDS OF THY MOUTH” Proverbs 6:2.
As long as you are focusing and affirming in statements of what you are SENSING and or by the CIRCUMSTANCES before you PRAYED, you can NEVER have what you wants from Father God in Christ. Simply for the truth that a double minded person can’t receive anything from God.
“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, NOTHING WAVERING. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For LET NOT that man think that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE MINDED man is UNSTABLE in all his ways” James 1:2-8.
And when you stay ASSURED, STEADFAST and in CONFIDENCE by the WORD of GRACE and FAITH, focusing on what you WANTS to see of God, and not ruled and governed by what you are sensing, know for a certainty, that, there’s no force known and unknown that will be able to stop your request from not coming to fruition and in reality in your God as you have PRAYED. For the ministering spirit, the angelic hosts will perfectly deliver your God GIVEN goods into your hands when they are ASSURED of you acting by the word of God. For they only harkens to the voice of God’s WORD.
“For SURELY there is AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall NOT be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18.
“Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that DO His commandments, HEARKENING unto the VOICE OF HIS WORD” Psalms 103:20.
“And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire . . . 14 Are they not all MINISTERING spirits, sent forth to MINISTER for them who shall be HEIRS of salvation?” Hebrews 1:7, 14.
And on the contrary, what happens when you go thinking and believing that your FORMER days are BETTER than your TODAY and in some cases that your future will be in delusion, you keep at bay the working of God’s WORD on your behalf. Such acts of thinking makes one unwise in receiving anything from God.
When one begin to say that their today is worst than their before you are not giving the heavens the opportunity to interfere in solving your earthly matters. Hence such attitude is considered an UNWISE reasoning in the kingdom operations to receive from God. For your attitude will unveil your altitudes in gratitude. You need to know full well that God is RICH to all who calls upon Him and that stays in steadfastness by FAITH on His WORD irrespective of the “IF” and “BUT” about them.
“For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall NOT be ASHAMED. 12 For there is NO DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the SAME Lord over all is RICH unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:11-13.
“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. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you PERFECT, STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.
YOUR FOCUS AND YOUR WORDS ARE THE SEED THAT DEFINES YOUR FAITH IN GRACE FOR YOUR NOW, TODAY AND TOMORROW.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS
BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!
Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decisions and actions you’ve made and are making in the cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that have befallen you in the cause of time or are befalling you now.
Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or were into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that make no difference.
You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus’ stead, has NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.
Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF-JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking self-gratification, self-pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.
You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY that will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus’ stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.
I want you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of being negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.
Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to a higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.
You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your daybreak or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your daybreak. Ponder thoughtfully and be blessed accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom, and speed in every way in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW. 10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.
“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.

BEING GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL
BEING GRATEFUL AND THANKFUL: GIVING THANKS ALWAYS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART!
“IN EVERY THING GIVE THANKS: for this is the WILL of God in Christ Jesus CONCERNING you” 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
Make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE – your WORTH in life is marked by GIVING THANKS ALWAYS at good times and in the midst of mishap, challenging and difficult times – in the Name of the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“GIVING THANKS TO THE FATHER, who has QUALIFIED US to share in the INHERITANCE of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED US and has DRAWN US to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED US to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.
Your GRATITUDE will change your ATTITUDE; and your ATTITUDE will define your ALTITUDE and APTITUDE in life and godly living.
“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.
When you make a living in being thankful and grateful with a gracious and graceful heart, firstly to God and to others, you create an enabling that ensures and assures the atmosphere you illuminates and will enjoy seamlessly. Make THANKS a LIVING VIRTUE, for your WORTH in life is marked by GIVING THANKS ALWAYS in the Name of the Lord God.
GIVING THANKS to God for ALL THINGS includes also your: Family, spouse, children, career, friends, colleagues, business, possessions, acquisition and even in the midst of any mishap and such like. Give it a go today.

“Let THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS TO GOD AND THE FATHER BY HIM” Colossians 3:16-17.

GRATITUDE – A THANKS GIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS
GRATITUDE – A THANKS GIVING AND THANKS LIVING HEARTEDNESS: IT’S THE POWER AND ESSENCE OF HIGHER ALTITUDE!
“And WHATSOEVER ye DO in WORD or DEED, DO ALL in the name of the Lord Jesus, GIVING THANKS to God and the Father by Him” Colossians 3:17.
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.

“Surely OPPRESSION maketh a WISE man mad; and a GIFT (BRIBE) destroyeth (CORRUPTS) the (GOOD JUDGEMENT OF THE) HEART. 8 BETTER is the END of a thing than the BEGINNING thereof: and the patient in spirit is BETTER than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for ANGER resteth in the BOSOM of fools. 10 SAY NOT thou, What is the cause that the FORMER days were BETTER than these? for thou dost not ENQUIRE WISELY concerning this” Ecclesiastes 7:7-10 Emphasis Mine.
“For I say, through the GRACE given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.
“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
“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.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING) of our FAITH without wavering; (for he is FAITHFUL that PROMISED)” Hebrews 10:23.
“Seeing then that we have a GREAT high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, LET US HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION (CONFESSION, DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING). 15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come BOLDLY unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” Hebrews 4:14-16.

BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS
BEING PRINCIPLED IN LIFE AND GODLINESS: START TAKING – RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY – AND STOP REACTING – NO MATTER WHAT BETIDES YOU!
Your LIFE and GRACE POSITIONING is defined by the various decision and action you’ve made and are making in cause of time, resulting from either of these – How you REACT or RESPOND – in taking accountability to the circumstances that has befallen you in cause of time or is befalling you now.
Most time in life, people or persons may be INVOLVED and or BLAMED for the reasons for our fall into the ditch that we are currently or was into in time past; but one must come to know that it’s one’s RESPONSIBILITY to rise up and shake off that dust in order to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE again, otherwise we live REACTING to the circumstances that makes no difference.
You need to know and understand that the NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus stead, have NO PAST; and can’t be LIMITED by any factor no matter the gravity except one GIVE the PERMIT in the cause of doing life and living godly to BECOME, on what one is BORN of God to be in the face of any circumstance that comes one’s way.
Alternatively, one can take the place of REACTION or REACTING which is more of been negatively inclined; but you need to know and understand full well, for such REACTION or REACTING process, is the path of living a life of BLAMING others in one’s past history on WHOSOEVER and WHATSOEVER. That’s the path of seeking SELF JUSTIFICATION by being sentimental, on the reasons for one’s fall; just know for sure that the very act of REACTION or REACTING to a cause makes one to cherish and remain in the same statuesque, seeking for self gratification, self pity or others pity party and sympathy party in defeat.
You must come to know that it’s your ATTITUDE and not your APTITUDE, in TAKING RESPONSIBILITY to the NEW CREATION position toward your fall and circumstance that had or has befallen you, that DEFINES and DETERMINES your ALTITUDE in life and grace. And it’s being PRINCIPLED to take RESPONSIBILITY will change the cause of history from bad to good when there’s the will in Christ Jesus stead. Hence there is GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS in taking the path of RESPONSIBILITY rather than the path of REACTING. Taking RESPONSIBILITY energised one to BECOME in life and grace.
I wants you to learn from a Biblical man called JABEZ in the scriptures who took RESPONSIBILITY for his chance to BECOME in LIFE and GRACE, instead of been negative by REACTION or REACTING to his circumstances, which unfortunately many have done to their situations, leading to their detriments.
Learn also from the Biblical prodigal Son, who came to REALISE his IRRESPONSIBILITY and RESOLVED to be RESPONSIBLE by acting accordingly. For it’s not about what happened or had happened to you, but on how your RESPONDING or REACTING toward any circumstance, is what matters in all; and that’s how one will RISE to higher trajectory or FALL to the bottom or REMAIN in the same state of Circus.
You can either start taking RESPONSIBILITY to win your day break or Keep REACTING to stop yourself and lose your day break. Ponder thoughtfully and be bless accordingly. And I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“And Jabez was more HONOURABLE than his brethren: and his mother CALLED his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with SORROW. 10 And Jabez CALLED on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God GRANTED him that which he requested” 1 Chronicles 4:9-10.
“And he said, A certain man had two sons: 12 and the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living. 13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living. 14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want. 15 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. 16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him. 17 AND WHEN HE CAME TO HIMSELF, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18 I WILL ARISE AND GO TO MY FATHER, and will say unto him, Father, I have SINNED against heaven, and before thee, 19 and am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. . . “ Luke 15:11-31.

GRATITUDE – THANKSGIVING AND THANKS LIVING
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.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.
