THE MONTH AUGUST 2024: ENTITLED – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

The Month AUGUST ushers us into the realm of LIVING BY THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE – which is about synergising and energising our realm of doing life and living godly through THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE in Christ Jesus stead, thereby experiencing our God’s given BLESSEDNESS.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

The law of faith is about the PRINCIPLES – the guiding laws – upon which the subject Faith operates – with, through, in, upon and on – in order to ensure and assure it’s fundamental and foundation basis of our belief and believe in God in Christ Jesus stead. The knowing and understanding of this principle helps one to do life and live godly in the grace of God through any forms of persecutions, in receiving God’s promises, and help one through the process of the enduring and persevering in the faith, doing righteousness, stopping the satan and cohorts, and such like, respectively [Hebrews 11:32-40].

The essence of knowing and understanding of the act of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace is to ensure and assure the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus stead, and on how one can by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace be energised in their spirit-being instead of their mental exertion which is not of faith toward Father God and our Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus.

The essence of living by THE LAW OF FAITH  in the grace of God in Christ Jesus, consists in the BELIEVING and RECEIVING what God has REVEALED – and hence, may be defined as the absolute trust in the God of the Scriptures and in Christ Jesus whom He sent, to fulfil the redemption of mankind through the loving obedience and good works [Acts 20:20-21; John 1:12; James 2:14-26; Hebrews 5:7-9].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, is operational through these four fundamental principles of applications in doing life and living godly under God in Christ Jesus stead:

  1. FOR SALVATION: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, ensures the personal faith (personal trust) to obtain Salvation is possible without our meritorious works to prove a point to Father God in Christ Jesus – who is our deliverer from the clutches of sin to our justification – wherein we’ve being made and declared – Gods righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen. For our merits are filthy rags before God and our wealth can save a soul but our Faith operating under grace will give us our SALVATION access to Father God in Christ Jesus. [Romans 4:5, 23-25; 5:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Isaiah 64:6; Psalms 49:6-9].
  2. FOR PRAYERS: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles helps to ensures that our PRAYERS [fellowship – communion – to enhance relationships] with Father God in Christ Jesus, is of assurance and confidence; it helps us to ensure that we are assured of our justified state of being and our access state of being, of our Father God in Christ Jesus, when we STAND in the grace of our RIGHTEOUSNESS of Him to offer PRAYERS without an iota of mistrust. [Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 4:14-16; 1 John 5:14-15; Colossians 1:12-14; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 4:19-24].
  3. The UNSEEN: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, help ensures one to know and understand that the UNSEEN world makes and brings about the SEEN world; and that helps to make the act of doing life and living godly possible as it helps to bring about the unknown – the unseen – things into being – into reality – into tangibility. And one can then act on the conviction that God’s word is practicable, reachable and touchable beyond a mere sight before believing God in Christ Jesus – [Hebrews 11:1-3; Romans 4:17; 2 Corinthians 6:13; 2 Corinthians 5:7].
  4. DAILY LIVING: Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace principles, means living by the principles that ensures a practicable and liveable essence in our day to day living when we understand the working principle in life, and the uses and applications of faith – that the otherwise WORD OF FAITH is true and real to do life and live godly, irrespective of our daily circumstances. [Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 10:38); Romans 10:8-10].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace helps to ensures and to be assures that the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus live beyond borders and walls, by the governing and bounding law by which THE [SAVED] JEW’S (which is of the circumcision) and THE [SAVED] GENTILE’S (which is of the uncircumcision) can have access to God’s redemption rights and privileges to become and make up – THE CHURCH of Christ Jesus that makes up the born of God – Jew’s and the born of God Gentile’s [Romans 3:27-29; Romans 2:28-29; 1 Corinthians 10:32].

Living by THE LAW OF FAITH does mean for the Believer’s in Christ Jesus is subjected to operate LAWFULLY within the grace of God, otherwise there’s disqualification on that particular context and subjects of life plan, purpose and pursuit [2 Timothy 2:5.; Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:2; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27].

It beholds me therefore, to compel you to gear up to the realms of living by THE LAW OF FAITH in the grace, in order for you to be ensure and be assure of your blessedness in God in Christ Jesus. Amen..

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

“There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For THE LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.

“No man that WARRETH entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may PLEASE him who hath CHOSEN him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also STRIVE for MASTERIES, yet is he NOT CROWNED, except he STRIVE LAWFULLY” 2 Timothy 2:4-5.

“And every man that STRIVETH for the MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to OBTAIN A CORRUPTIBLE CROWN; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, NOT as UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT as one that BEATETH the air: 27 but I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway”

“Now we know [without any doubt] that THE LAW IS GOOD, if one uses it LAWFULLY and APPROPRIATELY, 9 understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted” 1 Timothy 1:8-11/AMP.

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33.

“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may IMPART unto you some SPIRITUAL GIFT, to the end ye may be ESTABLISHED; 12 that is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual FAITH both of you and me” Romans 1:9-12.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every good thing which is in you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

WELCOME TO MONTH OF AUGUST 2024:THE MONTH OF – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”!

You are highly and specially WELCOME to MONTH AUGUST 2024 – The MONTH I have entitled: “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”! For by GRACE we are SAVED and by GRACE we STAND; and living by and living through THE LAW OF FAITH IN THE GRACE, we are ensured and assured of the rights and privileges of our REDEMPTION in Principle, and it belongs to all ends of the spectrum that makes the people that makes up THE CHURCH OF GOD in Christ Jesus – The JEWS [The CIRCUMCISION] and The GENTILES [The UNCIRCUMCISION] .

“Where is BOASTING then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by THE LAW OF FAITH. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH WITHOUT THE DEEDS OF THE LAW. 29 Is he the God of THE JEWS ONLY? is he not also of THE GENTILES? Yes, of THE GENTILES also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY THE CIRCUMCISION BY FAITH, and UNCIRCUMCISION THROUGH FAITH” Romans 3:27-30.

The dawn Month AUGUST, is the eight month of the year and thus represents a NEW BEGINNING. It is the eighth [8] month of the JULIAN and GREGORIAN calendars and one of the seven [7] months that is 31 days long.

The name AUGUST means to inspire (or inspiring) – REVERENCE, ADMIRATION, OF SUPREME, DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in conjunction with the month theme which is “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”, to AUGUST by the theme therefore is to ensure “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like . . .

In GENESIS 1-2:3, the scripture gives the wonderful acts of God in creation of the planet earth and of all that is on earth as summed up in PSALMS 24:1-2. From the scripture we see that by the sixth day God had created all His intended creation including man whom He also empowered to oversee all created creation; and on the SEVENTH day God RESTED in pleasure of His creation as in REVELATION 4:11 and ECCLESIASTES 3:11.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED ALL THINGS, and for THY PLEASURE they ARE and WERE CREATED” Revelation 4:11.

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

When God rested on the SEVENTH day, what then do you think happened on the next day – being the EIGHTH. I tell you now what I think and have come to know and understand by the Spirit of God. This is what I believe and conclude, that on the EIGHTH, the man’s NEW DAY WAS DAWN, that is born and made to begin; meaning the EIGHTH day was the BEGINNING of man [non-gender] to LIVE for purpose and meanings [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-2; Ecclesiastes 3:11/AMP]; and it’s for man to start taking on in PRINCIPLE, the act of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY from the REST of God on the seventh [7] day, in order to find his OWN REST when done of God’s purpose for him [Romans 8:28-30; Hebrews 4:8-11; Revelation 14:13]; and it’s for man to EXERCISE his eminent given and endowed authority to be fruitful and multiply, to replenish the earth, subdue it and reign in it, and to live in majestic splendour, thrive, colour, grandeur and have dominion as in the Holy Writ Scripture of Genesis 1:26-28.

The EIGHTH day was such a day of great influence, affluence and significance of honour and dignity, for man to take the chance and opportunity accorded him by the uncreated creator God to enhance the PATH OF LIFE in the path of divine responsibility and accountability on earth to fulfil God given purpose and assignment. It was a dawn day of becoming God’s representative and ambassador on earth according to these Scriptures but not limited – Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; 2 Corinthians 5:20.

HEREIN NOW IS THE TRAJECTORY TO – “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”:

Do you recall your first time of going to school, college, university – that you so much desired, deserved and cherished – and how well you PREPARED and DRESSED up to AUGUST it? Or when you were starting that desired and precious job – how you started it on a very good note with majestic show that you were around and capable to AUGUST it? Or going for that first or special date with that special person – how much you gorgeously accorded yourself with such great value to AUGUST it? Or on that lovely, sweet and gracious wedding – how much you ensured and AUGUST it, that it becomes the most talked about the day for an honourable marriage? and at the top of the note before all invited friends and families?

It’s time to SELAH – PAUSE and THINK, of any situations that you dignified, accorded respect and honoured though not mentioned here. That’s what it means to AUGUST an occasion precisely and pricelessly, and the how and while you need to AUGUST this month of AUGUST, in doing LIFE and living GODLY in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

It’s this act to AUGUST one’s life that makes Apostle Paul to say, I dearly and earnestly MAGNIFIED or DIGNIFIED my MINISTERIAL OFFICE such that no man would disdain or take his calling and ministerial office repute for granted and disdain. Meaning, he AUGUST the office of his CALLING with GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS with such grace to ensure it’s DIGNIFIED,  REVERED, ADMIRED, MAJESTIC, EMINENT, VENERABLE, GRAND and more of such like as it’s written:

“Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I MAGNIFY MINE OFFICE: 14 if by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them” Romans 11:12-14.

I can therefore conclude that the number EIGHT is the dawn number of OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITY to make a start and of a new day for man’s new beginning. When God rested to have His leisure on His done work, mankind began its ambassadorial role in a great fashion of chance and opportunity, polished and fashioned in the path of dignity and gracious display of being revered, admired, majestic, eminent and venerable.

You need to believe again in the you that’s of God and in God to live and reign dignified. This is the month of AUGUST – let us AUGUST it again by “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE”.

I pray that as you turn into this month of August, being the eighth of the calendar year, that it shall be the beginning of months for you. A month in which you will live and reign in the path of majesty, in dignity, eminent, revered, admired, venerable and lordly; A life where all things are under your control while you reign in the path of dominion. May you spend time in God’s presence that He might order your life to greatness and peace as written in Jeremiah 17:12 “A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary”.

Unlike Adam who misplaced his priority with Eve, I pray that this honour of being justified by the deeds of Christ as in Romans 5:1-2, your path shall ever shine and shine brighter and clearer and brighter until the full glow of you is shown around that all may see your great eminence of God; and then glorify our Father God, the Father of our Saviour-King and Lord Jesus, whose presence is your source of life and grace. Amen!

May this month of number eight being August, turn your shame to fame, your disdain to honour and glory, your failure to success, your setbacks to steppingstones, your disappointment to appointment; may your present lamentable situation and circumstance become your positioning for greater heights in life and godliness.

I pray that the good Lord will order your step, uphold you and help you to put on the same kind of spirit as that of Joseph of the twelve; who after hearing that Pharaoh wanted him, instead of going as he was in disdain, sorrowful and in a battered prison uniform, rather went to SHAVE HIS BEARD, exchange his prison clothes with a dignified robe; assured himself in God that when he got to the palace of pharaoh, a place of HONOUR, EMINENT, DIGNITY and REVERED, he would not return to prison again which eventually was his story. Even though he knew that he was in prison he did not imprison himself as a prisoner, meaning that the prison did not have him, because the eminent one – Jehovah-Adonai, lived in him [Genesis 41:12-16; 1 John 4:4-6].

I PRAY that you have a gracious and graceful month August in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead, as you start “LIVING BY ‘THE LAW OF FAITH’ IN THE GRACE” Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
