About Becoming Whom & What You Believe
IN THIS ENVIABLE SMART GENERATION: BE LED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL YOU DO!
“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.
We live in an enviable smart generation; it’s a gracious and graceful place to be; and to triumphantly live and thrive meaningfully and purposefully, one needs to be watchful and connected; and to be connected to the one who is able to HELP us to stay ABOVE ONLY in the midst of all the NOISE around it – and that person to help us is the BLESSED Holy Spirit. And by being LED of the Holy Spirit in ALL you do, you can both please the Father God and live faithfully on His merit on earth in this seamless, smart, and digitised generation.
“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 8:26-27.
Don’t Be Deceived by any nor be mistaken by self errors, it’s time for you to exercise yourself into the realm of VICTORY, TRIUMPH, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS by engaging yourself with the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL TRUTH called the HOLY BIBLE. You need to – READ and STUDY and SEARCH the SCRIPTURES for self discovery that will give and lead you into self recovery in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. If I may ask you today, HOW MUCH ARE YOU READING and STUDYING and SEARCHING THE WORD in context and comparison to your WATCHING AND VIEWING photos and videos on social media platform and such like.
Today, we are carried away with image photos and videos, which most times may be photoshopped, disfigured, distorted, dotted, adulterated and twisted as the creators of such, while many buy into them, analysed them and transmit them on baseless information to vulnerable hearts. You need to be very careful, vigilant and swiftly alert these days; and much more, be LED of the Holy Spirit through the WORD of God if you want the best and FULNESS of our God in this challenging but enviable generation.
“Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be ALERT, VIGILANT and CAUTIOUS at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, PROWLS around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking SOMEONE to devour. 9 But RESIST him, be firm and steadfast in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] 10 After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be]. 11 To Him be dominion (power, authority, sovereignty) forever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:8-11/Amplified.
It’s through the TIMELESS SCRIPTURAL WORD that’s BREATHED by the Holy Spirit that we can do life and live godly with this TIMED GENERATION in spite of all the awesome happenings in it.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“STUDY TO SHEW THYSELF APPROVED UNTO GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.
“But CONTINUE thou in the things which thou hast LEARNED and hast been ASSURED of, knowing of whom thou hast LEARNED them; 15 and that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are ABLE to MAKE thee WISE unto salvation through FAITH which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is GIVEN by INSPIRATION of God, and is PROFITABLE for DOCTRINE, for REPROOF, for CORRECTION, for INSTRUCTION in RIGHTEOUSNESS: 17 that the man of God may be PERFECT, throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD works” 2 Timothy 2:14-17.
“Till I come, GIVE ATTENDANCE TO READING, to exhortation, to doctrine” 1 Timothy 4:13.
“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God” Matthew 22:29.
“Jesus answered and said to them, “YOU ARE MISTAKEN, not KNOWING the Scriptures nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29. NKJV.
“. . . 14 For as many as ARE LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God . . .” Romans 8:9-16.
” I say then: WALK in the Spirit, and you shall not FULFILL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you ARE LED by the Spirit, you ARE not under the law . . . 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 if we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16-18, 24-25.
“If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may ABIDE with you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:15-17 (John 15:26).
“Howbeit when he, the Spirit of TRUTH, is come, he will GUIDE you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will SHEW you things to come. 14 He shall GLORIFY me: for he shall RECEIVE of mine and shall SHEW it unto you” John 16:13-14.
“Now THANKS be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh MANIFEST the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

“For this is the LOVE of God, that we KEEP his COMMANDMENTS: and his COMMANDMENTS are not GRIEVOUS (IRKSOME, BURDENSOME, GRIVIOUS, TASKMASTER). 4 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 5:3-5.
REV. CHUKIE MORSI
Be EMBOLDENED To Say NAY [NO] When It Matters: There’s Enabling GRACE For It!
“For the GRACE of God has appeared that OFFERS SALVATION to all people. 12 It TEACHES us to SAY “NO” to UNGODLINESS and WORLDLY PASSIONS, and to LIVE SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT and GODLY LIVES in this PRESENT age, 13 while we WAIT for the BLESSED hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good” Titus 2:11-13 NIV/Emphasis Mine.
We live in a time wherein most people have indebted themselves or found themselves at crossroads because they wants to DO God for others, to PLEASE planet earth, and MAKE everyone HAPPY at their inadequacies, to SAVE face from offending and to ENSURE their PRIDE in pain. I say Enough of that COWARDICE ACT of life.
Am here to let you know that it’s a high time to STOP making promises you CAN’T keep so that you can walk with your head up and shoulder high, and on your high heels, in grace and peace of mind. And it’s time to also let you know that it is not a crime or even a sin to say NO to a demand or gesture that wants you to do contrary to your FAITH capacity toward God in Christ Jesus stead; and much more, you don’t need to be daunted when you have to say NO to a demand due to your inability to meet up with the statuesque of others demand and the prevalence in your set environment. Don’t be the people pleaser, be God’s pleaser toward people in order to save your breath, live healthily in an onward and upward trajectory, otherwise when you fault being a people pleaser, you may be gone without remedy.
You don’t have to put yourself in a crossroad to swear or take an oath to prove your point of ability or inability – for you owe nobody an apology of what you can or cannot. Be truthful to yourself in God and be EMBOLDENED to say NO [NAY], to any unwelcome demand, just as you can say also YES [YEA] – in ALL matters of DOING life; this act to say NO and Yes in your own charged control, will help to enhance your today and tomorrow in doing life and living godly without feeling guilty.
“But ABOVE ALL THINGS, my brethren, SWEAR NOT, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither BY ANY OTHER OATH: but let your YEA be YEA; and your NAY, NAY; lest ye fall into condemnation” James 5:12/Emphasis Mine.
Lots of people have ended up in debt in order to – save face, please others for no just cause and to fit into the demands of peers and statuesque of colleagues and friends. Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE. Live within your FAITH and PURPOSE capacity.
It’s a more gracious graceful sphere, to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in life, if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help any where you can, without guilt and shame at any point.
May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody make you or put you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER; to be the ANSWERS to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured. Don’t LIVE someone else life of FAITH for them – it’s unscriptural. Worst still, is for to DO God for them. Our God is a jealous God, He does not share His person and GLORY with any – BE WARN. He’s our HELP and HELPER in all life ramification and not man – so don’t do God to be classed a very good person, for Jesus Christ in humanity even rejected such pressure and acclaimed – ONLY GOD IS GOOD.
“Behold, God is mine HELPER: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul” Psalms 54:4
“God is our REFUGE and STRENGTH, a very present HELP in trouble” Psalms 46:1.
“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD BUT ONE, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments” Matthew 19:17 [Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19].
My point here is that you don’t DO God or be a godfather or an answer for any to end up being INDEBTED at your own detrimental. I am NOT saying you can’t help out for people where you can, but should endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting up with someone else’s dear needs, especially when you know you cannot be the answer to meet up for such needs. You need to LIVE by your own FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters [Habakkuk 2:4]. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38].
“Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. 37 But let your COMMUNICATION be, YEA, YEA; NAY, NAY: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil” Matthew 5:36-37/Emphasis Mine.
Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES, otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy for not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO, when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH.
Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in LOVE by GRACE – Romans 5:5. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.
BE BOLD TO SAY NO – JUST AS YOU CAN SAY YES – LIVE WITHIN YOUR FAITH – DON’T DO GOD FOR ANYTHING OR ANYONE – DO ONLY THE WORD WHILE GOD DO GOD.
I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.

Beloved in Christ, we are not in a competitive world with any or yourself to make you belong. You are a child of God and of PURPOSE.
It’s more gracious to follow your God’s given PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT if you must found your true HAPPINESS and MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in LIFE and GODLINESS. Ensure that you LIVE and DO LIFE as per by the prompting of the Lord by His Holy Spirit in you, and through the WORD, in order to live free and be happy to help without guilt and shame at any point.
May I enjoin you to know that the Scriptures indicates that the justified in Christ Jesus shall live by their own FAITH in God through Him. So let nobody makes you through pressure to be their ANSWER and especially to their so called DESTINY HELPER, to their PRAYERS when you are not God, knowing you are unable to fit into that shoe as been pressured.
Don’t DO God or be a godfather or answer in DEBT. Endeavour to say NO without feeling guilty or ashamed in meeting someone dear needs. Live by your FAITH as led by the Holy Spirit through God’s WORD in all capacity of life matters. Live and help within your FAITH and not in any pressure to do anything and become incapacitated for others good. That’s unscriptural.
Saying NO should not be embarrassing at all just as saying YES should not be either. Don’t take a PARACETAMOL for someone else ACHES otherwise you may start aching for your inadequacy and not been emboldened to have say NAY – NO when you should have. Help where you could. Fit in where you could. Much more, LIVE AND DO LIFE BY YOUR FAITH!
Don’t REACT to pressure in anyway by any means; always RESPOND by the WORD in the Holy Spirit that’s GIVEN to you to do LIFE in GRACE. You are RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE on your life decisions. Make goodly choices.
I pray God gives you wisdom in this regards before you found yourself at life crossroads and in guilt not knowing to say NO just as to say YES.
SELAH – PAUSE and THINK!
