THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE

By Leave a Comment

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!
 
“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.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.
 
The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.
 
“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.” Exodus:193-4.
 
The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.
 
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid” Proverbs 30:18-19.
 
The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.
 
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
 
The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:
The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION
The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS
The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS
The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY
The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE
The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING
The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER
The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY
The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING
The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT
. . . and such like.

“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.

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:31.

“REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD, CONSIDER THE YEARS OF MANY GENERATIONS: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 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 32:7-14

A WOMAN THAT REVERENTIALLY FEARS THE LORD SHALL BE PRAISE

By Leave a Comment

A WOMAN THAT REVERENTIALLY FEARS THE LORD SHALL BE PRAISE: I FOUND THAT WOMAN IN NKEMDILIM [MY WIFE] IN LIFE AND GRACE!

“SAY [GRACIOUS WORDS] ye to the RIGHTEOUS, that it shall be WELL [WHOLE] with him: for they shall eat the FRUIT of their DOINGS” Isaiah 3:10.

Dear holy and righteous beloved brother in Christ Jesus, when last did you take time to write a note about the darlyn Sister that turned into a friend and then turned into a wife in your life without regretting it? I attended a dear family friend wife birthday years ago where the dear brother was telling us he loves his wife as part of the closing; and end up the closing by saying “till next year” again. And we were all puzzled and stunned when he said it’s once in a year so that it doesn’t go into her head as he’s doing loving things and don’t need to say it often. And I wondered how many are in such state of not being able to express daily their love to their spouse vocally apart from the doings.

Then I recall the scripture says, I am paraphrasing – “Say to the righteous it shall be well with them” Isaiah 3:10; and the righteous includes your spouse’s and in this context your wife, which indicates saying gracious words of wellness and wholeness and loveliness and liveliness and such like to the righteous in all circumstances, and irrespective – of which I see my wife in that picture and context too, hence I am very mindful of gracious words to being spoken in life and grace, as I found in the Lord Jesus, that made the people wondered and amazed to asked questions, if He wasn’t the Son of Joseph. It simply because the gracious words was to counter the distorted words and adulterated words and demeaning words and polluted words and probably cursing and swearing words being spoken about in His days in humanity as about us today, that ought not to be to our fellow being for any reason and irrespective.

“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.

Hence, I am not just saying but writing to wake you up from your once in a while sayings or writing’s about your dear lovely Sister turned into a friend and then turned into a wife as I do about mine today. Indeed, the scripture was right to say expressly that:

 “Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], she shall be praised and admired” [Proverbs 31:30].

“Live JOYFULLY with the wife whom thou LOVEST all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy PORTION in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:9.

And I found the scriptural context above so, in my NKEMDILIM, my wife, the daughter of Zion as she earnestly endeavours daily to live meaningfully and to fulfill God’s given purpose scripturally; and endeavouring to ensure that she’s equally renewing her days as the eagle effortlessly in life and grace. I never knew that someone else outside us was observing untill when I heard this phrase spoken to me in her absence:

“It takes Faith to get FAITH” – Rev Pete Davis.

The statement above was the phrase said to me by Rev Pete Davis while travelling with him and others from a Hillsong Minister Conference, London, some years ago. I have not forgotten it. He was teasing me in a good way on how I got my beautiful wife. That I took faith to get FAITH. Initially I couldn’t get his logic until a while in course of the journey and we all laughed at the gracious words spoken. And I said in response that, “It takes Faith to keep FAITH” also. And I can’t help but to PRAISE this Beautiful Daughter of Zion – Nkemdilim Faith MORSI [my Wife], for the gracious walks together, through the years – the good and the challenging times. She is just loving, adorable, fabulous, sweet, gorgeous and blessed indeed.

And more recently, I have come to discover a new her, more and again after all these years of her being around me – She just keep renewing her days and our days as the Eagle. Simply because, she is fashioned in the similitude of God’s gracious and graceful palace; and crafted wonderfully and fearfully in God’s reverential image and likeness as if I never knew before but knowing to refresh, rejuvenate, rekindle and to keep glowing and glittering again and again [Psalms 144:12; Psalms 139:13-18].

I have been away and busy for a week only to return and find out that she and God has renewed her days again and again and again and . . . Now all things have become so lovely, lively, refreshing and rejuvenating.

I have come to know in grace that beauty is gracious and not vain when you reverentially fear the Lord. For it’s an inside out trajectory and not just a mere outwardly display with emptiness. And my wife had shown as she keeps showing that God MADE her so and it’s marvellous live in such graciousnesss and gracefulness. I BELIEVE it! That SETTLES it!! And I therefore confirm this message irrespective.

Blessed regards.

“Many daughters have done nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], BUT YOU EXCEL THEM ALL” 30  Charm and grace are deceptive, and [superficial] beauty is vain, BUT A WOMAN WHO FEARS THE LORD [reverently worshiping, obeying, serving, and trusting Him with awe-filled respect], SHE SHALL BE PRAISED. 31 Give her of the product of her hands, And let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]” Proverbs 31:29-31/Amplified.

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

“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.

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT

PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT: HE ILLUMINATES, REVITALISES, REFRESHES AND REJUVENATES YOUR WHOLESOME BEING!

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

Dearly Beloved in Christ Jesus stead, it’s now a high time to refresh, build up, revive, illuminate, revitalise, rejuvenate and renew your days and wellbeing by PRAYING in the Spirit. This will keep you keeping on, in ALL that pertains to LIFE and GODLINESS.

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

What it takes to build up, illuminate, revitalise, refresh and rejuvenate in order to beautify and colour your triune being – [spirit, soul and body] – is within you. Keep your being ALIVE and BUILT-UP by PRAYING ALWAYS IN THE SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING:

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

“But you, beloved, BUILD YOURSELVES UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], PRAY IN THE HOLY SPIRIT” Jude 1:20 (Amplified).

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

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

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

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR

By Leave a Comment

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR: ARE IN THE FAITH WITHIN YOU!

“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15  My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.

The true BEAUTY and COLOUR is in the FAITH you STAND upon WITHIN you in God. Meaning, what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you BE in Him. It’s the most awesome acknowledgment that can transform you for all eternity. It makes you take a stand and communicate your FAITH in God without doubts, shame, inferiority complex, phobia, dispute and any form of human reasoning and philosophy. I found it so, hence, I am emboldened to say so, as it’s 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.

You are God MADE – a more than what a MAKE UP classification can MAKE you be. BEAUTY and COLOUR is of God, but let Your COLOUR AND BEAUTY be in Christ Jesus Stead. Let it be from your FAITH WITHIN and not from the mere OUTWARD DECORATION, COLOURING And BEAUTIFYING. Meaning, let the reckoning of who you ARE and BECOME, be TREASURED of the enabling BEAUTY AND COLOUR that’s being generated within you, such that when the OUTWARD is no more there, there’s no DIFFERENCE or INDIFFERENCE about you.

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

A mere physical BEAUTY and COLOUR is good, gracious, graceful, lovely and sweet, romantic and more as in – Song of Solomon 7:1-13; but will fade and weathered out with time as flower and grass just as most have come and gone with their glamour and celebrity applaud – Isaiah 40:6-8 and 1 Peter 1:24-25. Let the DEFINITION of your BEAUTY and COLOUR be drawn in LIFE and GRACE as given to ladies – the female folks especially and all afterwards – in the light of the Holy Writ Scriptures, on the how to showcase the ESSENCE of Christ Jesus in them – 1 Timothy 2:8-10 and 1 Peter 3:1-12.

I know some religious and traditional people can only remember direct quote of the proverbial that BEAUTY is VAIN in context (Proverbs 31:30), without UNDERSTANDING the context and more, so forgetting that God Himself, the creator of all things known and unknown, made ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL in His creative TIMELESS timeline realm of His BLESSEDNESS – Ecclesiastes 3:11. May it be noted also, that the feet, pathway, walkway and life spring of those who proclaim the GOSPEL of peace – which is of God in Christ Jesus, are BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL, lovely, gracious and graceful (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).

You ARE God Made into His BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL world of BLESSEDNESS, which is ONLY possible in Christ Jesus, irrespective of your circumstances, situations and classification. Only let it be resolved in you that God does loves and cares about you in everyway in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING. 9 In LIKE MANNER also, that women ADORN (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (Emphasis Mine).

 “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, IF ANY OBEY NOT THE WORD, they also may WITHOUT THE WORD BE WON by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) coupled with fear (REVERENCE). 3 Whose ADORNING (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) let it not be that OUTWARD ADORNING (DECORATION, BEAUTIFYING, COLOURING) of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE. 5 For AFTER THIS MANNER in the old time the HOLY WOMEN also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR), being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, CALLING him lord: WHOSE DAUGHTERS YE ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any AMAZEMENT. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, GIVING HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE LIFE, AND SEE GOOD DAYS, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his lips that they SPEAK no guile: 11 let him ESCHEW evil, and DO good; let him SEEK peace, and ENSUE it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/ Amplified.

“For all things ARE for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: THAT’S FAITH IN THE FAITH – TO BEAUTIFY AND COLOUR YOUR WORLDS!

We live in a gracious and graceful time of human history with God in spite of the challenges and difficult times in the world. Unfortunately, lots of supposedly Believers in Christ Jesus, keep making unwarranted noise around towards their inability to enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of the FAITH, while in essence, they are not even ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH. You cannot have Faith in the FAITH that you are NOT intentionally committed to be established in it, and still want to be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. God does no magic; He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS; and His COMMANDS are INSTRUCTIONS and not an ADVICE that you PICK and CHOOSE as in a cherry garden.

Just as you cannot work in a National Post Office Services and its wage rating and you want to go and collect wages from the Civil Services pension pots, no matter how much interest you show toward it.

A lot of Christians are living in either of these: FAITH, PRESUMPTION, FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE).

It’s either you are living by FAITH in the Faith or you are living in PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE) in the Faith. The last two will not guarantee you the BLESSEDNESS of God in the Faith.

There’s therefore the need now for you to consciously and intentionally make effort to see you get yourself established in the Faith to ensure you are fulfilled, living purposefully and meaningfully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Faith in the done did deed of God in Christ Jesus gives you access to being ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

And when you are established in the faith, it becomes easier to be OBEDIENT to the Faith. And be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH, it becomes easier to COMMUNICATE THE FAITH.

And COMMUNICATING THE FAITH makes it gracious to beautify and colour your worlds in Christ Jesus stead.

“Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint” Isaiah 40:31.

“REMEMBER THE DAYS OF OLD, CONSIDER THE YEARS OF MANY GENERATIONS: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee. 8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. 9 For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. 11 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 32:7-14

These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-7.

“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 . . . 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 2:5-10.

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR

By Leave a Comment

THE TRUE BEAUTY AND COLOUR: ARE IN THE FAITH WITHIN YOU!

“. . . 14 I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY MADE; WONDERFUL are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. 15  My FRAME was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And INTRICATELY and SKILLFULLY FORMED [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth . . .” Psalms 139:1-18 Amplified.

The true BEAUTY and COLOUR is in the FAITH you STAND upon WITHIN you in God. Meaning, what God in Christ Jesus has MADE you BE in Him. It’s the most awesome acknowledgment that can transform you for all eternity. It makes you take a stand and communicate your FAITH in God without doubts, shame, inferiority complex, phobia, dispute and any form of human reasoning and philosophy. I found it so, hence, I am emboldened to say so, as it’s 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.

You are God MADE – a more than what a MAKE UP classification can MAKE you be. BEAUTY and COLOUR is of God, but let Your COLOUR AND BEAUTY be in Christ Jesus Stead. Let it be from your FAITH WITHIN and not from the mere OUTWARD DECORATION, COLOURING And BEAUTIFYING. Meaning, let the reckoning of who you ARE and BECOME, be TREASURED of the enabling BEAUTY AND COLOUR that’s being generated within you, such that when the OUTWARD is no more there, there’s no DIFFERENCE or INDIFFERENCE about you.

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

A mere physical BEAUTY and COLOUR is good, gracious, graceful, lovely and sweet, romantic and more as in – Song of Solomon 7:1-13; but will fade and weathered out with time as flower and grass just as most have come and gone with their glamour and celebrity applaud – Isaiah 40:6-8 and 1 Peter 1:24-25. Let the DEFINITION of your BEAUTY and COLOUR be drawn in LIFE and GRACE as given to ladies – the female folks especially and all afterwards – in the light of the Holy Writ Scriptures, on the how to showcase the ESSENCE of Christ Jesus in them – 1 Timothy 2:8-10 and 1 Peter 3:1-12.

I know some religious and traditional people can only remember direct quote of the proverbial that BEAUTY is VAIN in context (Proverbs 31:30), without UNDERSTANDING the context and more, so forgetting that God Himself, the creator of all things known and unknown, made ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL in His creative TIMELESS timeline realm of His BLESSEDNESS – Ecclesiastes 3:11. May it be noted also, that the feet, pathway, walkway and life spring of those who proclaim the GOSPEL of peace – which is of God in Christ Jesus, are BEAUTIFUL, COLOURFUL, lovely, gracious and graceful (Romans 10:15; Isaiah 52:7).

You ARE God Made into His BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL world of BLESSEDNESS, which is ONLY possible in Christ Jesus, irrespective of your circumstances, situations and classification. Only let it be resolved in you that God does loves and cares about you in everyway in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, WITHOUT WRATH AND DOUBTING. 9 In LIKE MANNER also, that women ADORN (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10 but (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works” 1 Timothy 2:8-10 (Emphasis Mine).

 “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, IF ANY OBEY NOT THE WORD, they also may WITHOUT THE WORD BE WON by the CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) of the wives; 2 while they behold your chaste CONVERSATION (CONDUCT) coupled with fear (REVERENCE). 3 Whose ADORNING (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR) let it not be that OUTWARD ADORNING (DECORATION, BEAUTIFYING, COLOURING) of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 but let it be the HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART, in that which is not corruptible, even the ORNAMENT OF A MEEK AND QUIET spirit, which is in the sight of God of GREAT PRICE. 5 For AFTER THIS MANNER in the old time the HOLY WOMEN also, who TRUSTED in God, ADORNED (DECORATE, BEAUTIFY, COLOUR), being in subjection unto their own husbands: 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, CALLING him lord: WHOSE DAUGHTERS YE ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any AMAZEMENT. 7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, GIVING HONOUR unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being HEIRS TOGETHER OF THE GRACE OF LIFE; that your PRAYERS BE NOT HINDERED. 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, that ye should INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will LOVE LIFE, AND SEE GOOD DAYS, let him REFRAIN his tongue from evil, and his lips that they SPEAK no guile: 11 let him ESCHEW evil, and DO good; let him SEEK peace, and ENSUE it. 12 For the EYES of the Lord are over the righteous, and his EARS are open unto their PRAYERS: but the FACE of the Lord is AGAINST them that DO evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12/ Amplified.

“For all things ARE for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our OUTWARD man perish, yet the INWARD man is RENEWED day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:15-18.

“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. 24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is PREACHED unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

BEING ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH: That’s FAITH IN THE FAITH – To Beautify and Colour Your Worlds!

We live in a gracious and graceful time of human history with God in spite of the challenges and difficult time in the world. Unfortunately, lots of supposedly Believers in Christ Jesus, keep making unwarranted noise around towards their inability to enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of the FAITH, while in essence, they are not even ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH. You cannot have Faith in the FAITH that you are NOT intentionally committed to be established in it, and still wants to be Blessed in God’s BLESSEDNESS in it. God does no magic; He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS; and His COMMANDS are INSTRUCTIONS and not an ADVICE that you PICK and CHOOSE as in cherry garden.

Just as you cannot work in a National Post Office Services and it’s wage rating and you want to go and collect wages from the Civil Services pension pots, no matter how much interest you show toward it.

A lot of Christians are living in either of these: FAITH, PRESUMPTION, FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE).

It’s either you are living by FAITH in the Faith or you are living in PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS (IGNORANCE) in the Faith. The last two will not guarantee you the BLESSEDNESS of God in the Faith.

There’s therefore the need now for you to consciously and intentionally make effort to see you get yourself established in the Faith to ensure you are fulfilled, living purposefully and meaningfully in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Faith in the done did deed of God in Christ Jesus gives you access to being ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH.

And when you are established in the faith, it becomes easier to be OBEDIENT to the Faith. And be OBEDIENT TO THE FAITH, it becomes easier to COMMUNICATE THE FAITH.

And COMMUNICATING THE FAITH makes it gracious to beautify and colour your worlds in Christ Jesus stead.

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD

STOP CRYING AS ONE WITHOUT HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE IN GOD: FOR IN YOUR DARK AND DARKNESS – THERE IS GOD’S GLORY AND BEAUTY!

“Therefore we do not become DISCOURAGED [spiritless, disappointed, or afraid]. Though our OUTER self is [progressively] wasting away, yet our INNER self is being [progressively] RENEWED day by day. 17 For our MOMENTARY, light distress [this passing trouble] is producing for us an eternal weight of glory [a fullness] beyond all measure [surpassing all comparisons, a transcendent splendor and an endless blessedness]! 18 So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Amplified.

I know what tears and pain and disappointments feels and looks like. I know what setbacks with hopelessness, faithlessness, lovelessness looks like. I know how it feels that there should be no tomorrow. I know how it feels to wish the morning was night and the night was day; and when the day and night seems so long and you wish you could BURY YOUR HEAD IN THE SAND AS AN OSTRICH INSTEAD OF SOARING AS AN EAGLE; and when the darkness seems so dark that nothing in life matters any more and all you think about is to stop living because you are overwhelmed with matters of life. I know how it looks when all one can see it’s danger and such like, and nothing meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling any more. I have seen it in many forms to know it’s only by God and through God in Christ Jesus stead to come through under the Sun in humanity.

“For God, who commanded THE LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED in our hearts, TO GIVE THE LIGHT of the knowledge of the GLORY of God in the FACE of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6.

And I want you to know what else that I know – God does bring forth LIGHT OUT OF EVERY DARK and DARKNESS that shows up in our day to day challenges. The dark and darkness that shows up momentarily or as long standing obstacles in metaphorical form as MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES, in our path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Am very certain and assured that God will not OVERSHADOWED that your darkness with light to keep you in circus but will BRING FORTH LIGHT OUT of that seemly impossible DARK PLACE and the DARKNESS with the needed and needful graciousness and gracefulness in His BLESSEDNESS. For God intent is to see you glow, rejuvenate, refresh and blossom out of “THAT” dark and darkness you are dealing with right now. I know it without a shadow of a doubt because each rivers of challenges that I have seen and walk and gone through have made me BETTER than BITTER because I know the essence of light OUT of darkness in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is like the LIGHT of dawn, that SHINES BRIGHTER and BRIGHTER until [it reaches its full strength and glory in] the PERFECT (DAWN) day” Proverbs 4:18 Amplified.

Therefore be at peace with yourself today, for the DAYSTAR in you, which is Christ Jesus the Saviour and Lord for today, tomorrow and always, will shine again in you and through you, and many in darkness will come to your light in Him to share in your joy and testimony of grace. For darkness can’t overshadowed light. Light will always be superior to any darkness. The darker the case, the the more the glow in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Stop CRYING as one without hope in God; for in that your DARKNESS – therein is God’s GLORY and BEAUTY of you in Christ Jesus. I pray that you will take on a new look and leap of faith in life,  that your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus can’t be stop by any level of darkness no matter the momentary lapses and delays in the now.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD – and be BLESSED in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS.

“And we KNOW that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified” Romans 8:28-30.

“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was WITHOUT form, and void; and DARKNESS was UPON the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the FACE of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day” Genesis 1:1-5.
