DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD

DARE TO – BELIEVE – BELONG – IN ORDER TO BECOME IN THE STEAD: FOR NO WORD – NO BELIEVE – NO FAITH – MEANS NO BECOMING!
 
“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.
 
In course of time, I have seen how some so called Believers who just wants to wake up in the Christian faith with everything readily ready for them at no cost. There are some who will not take a stand in Christ Jesus, but wants to get everything readily ready and available at their disposal at no cost; and while there are some too, who are without a signal of commitment and dedication in the stead thinks it’s entitlement to have anything at no cost. While in another scenario, there are some Believers who wants to wake up on a Church gathering services day, expecting a perfect church services section that’s readily set, and music set, and decorations set, and message set, and reception set, and welcoming set and such like, as may be applicable with no aota of their input. These are the Believers so called, who wants not to belong but wants to have a beautiful atmosphere, and gracious environment to enjoy a good outlook services while they are there without a participatory contribution to the desired outcome.
 
“NOT FORSAKING our meeting together [as BELIEVERS for worship and instruction], as is the HABIT of SOME, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching” Hebrews 10:25/Amplified.
 
And these set of nonchalant Believer’s who are less or of no concerns to play a role in the act of BELONGING to their set Church gathering place, which they wish to serve God acceptably and worship Him worthily, are already knowingly and unknowingly hindering their own Blessedness. The concept to see that other Believers but not them, are to do the needed good setting atmosphere for great gatherings indicates pure ignorance to spiritual understanding; and to watch others working for the common good and goodness that ensures that the environmental demands to a great meetings are in place, with everyone participating shows how shortsighted such a group are in the affairs of the Kingdom of God. Everyone in the kingdom is given the measure of faith and grace to enable them participate in the kingdom affairs – and not having one’s hands involved to make good to be done collectively, and with the hearts of BELONGING – it’s already an indicator that such a person or group can’t enjoy the BLESSEDNESS of God in BECOMING in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“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.
I want you dear reader to know that the Christian faith stead in Christ Jesus is reachable, lovable, liveable, tangible and touchable in every sense of the Believer’s life. And for each of the Believer’s to enjoy the corporate BLESSEDNESS of BECOMING in the kingdom stead of God, there’s the need to BELIEVE, BELONG in order to BECOME it in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made FLESH [HUMAN], and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14/Emphasis Mine.
 
And you can’t just BELIEVE in emptiness as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus, otherwise you are contacting demons and strange spirits of contamination which are contagious in every respect. The Believer’s BELIEVE must be of faith-based on the Holy Scriptural WORD of God, otherwise it’s magic, bondages, sorcery and such like that have kept many in religious circus and religiosity circle, without actualising their blessedness in becoming in Christ Jesus stead.
 
Every Believer must come to the knowing and understanding that a NO scriptural WORD of God as the bases of our stead in Christ Jesus, means a NO FAITH to walk and please God in His BLESSEDNESS to be your reality – and that means you can’t FUNCTION in the grace, and NOT able to ensure and be assured of BECOMING in the receiving of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.
 
“STUDY and be eager and do your utmost to present yourself to God APPROVED (tested by trial), a workman who has no cause to be ashamed, correctly analyzing and accurately dividing [rightly handling and skillfully teaching] THE WORD of Truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/AMP Classic Edition.
 
It’s therefore time for you to – DARE TO BELIEVE by the scriptural WORD of truth, in order to ensure your FAITH stand in the grace to BECOME by God – and in EVERYWAY in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
For many times I have seen Church folks being very sceptical to step up for a full dedication and commitment to God’s WORD – both privately and publicly in the gatherings – towards God’s work in His Church; while yet, they wants the FULLNESS of God’s POWER and GRACE to FUNCTION and to BECOME in everyway of doing LIFE and living GODLY. And we must all know that God can’t be mocked and be taken for a ride when He wants His people to belong in order to enjoy His BLESSEDNESS in their fellowship.
 
“Not FORSAKING or NEGLECTING to ASSEMBLE TOGETHER [as BELIEVERS], as is the HABIT of some people, but ADMONISHING (warning, urging, and encouraging) one another, and all the more faithfully as you see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25/AMP Classic Edition.
 
And sometimes most of these excuse givers and absentee Believer’s, gives some frivolities reasons that are simply born out of their fear phobia or that they may lose out if they do make such act of dedication and commitment by belonging in the stead of Christ Jesus. And unfortunately some of them, with all their act of been sceptical not to belong to the church after being a believer as they believe, had not made much better of themselves, in spite of their despite toward God’s WORD, in not willing to literary obey the instructions by faith; and the knowing of the truth, that believing God and belonging His Church – the gathering of His redeemed, precious and chosen people, is there to help all irrespective, to become of God in the blessedness that’s in Christ Jesus.
 
“For the [true] LOVE of God is this: that we do His commands [KEEP His ordinances and are mindful of His PRECEPTS and TEACHING]. And these orders of His are not IRKSOME (BURDENSOME, OPPRESSIVE, OR GRIEVOUS). 4 For whatever is born of God is VICTORIOUS over the world; and this is the victory that CONQUERS the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is it that is victorious over [that conquers] the world but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on that fact]?” 1 John 5:3-5/AMP Classic Edition.
 
I make BOLD to say that God is GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to His WORD and will NEVER fail and CAN’T and WON’T begin to FAIL because of YOU. And FAITH is only active to bring about results to FUNCTION and BECOME by the WORD. Faith in Christ Jesus stead, is of the WORD. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE and neither a DOCTRINAL nor DENOMINATIONAL creed, by-law and religious dogma’s that is just there to be known and apply.
 
Faith is the Believer’s in Christ Jesus life access, and their justified essence in grace to stand with God.
 
Faith is ACTING correspondingly on what you believe on God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE, while FAITH is ACTIVE. BELIEVE is the CONCEPTION and CONSEQUENCE of what you HEAR of God’s WORD, while FAITH is the action upon that conception and consequence of the hearing, to bring it into reality accordingly. Meaning a NO FAITH, means a NO access and essence for God to reward one’s endeavours to FUNCTION and BECOME in God.
 
“Therefore, since we are JUSTIFIED (ACQUITTED, DECLARED RIGHTEOUS, and given a RIGHT STANDING with God) THROUGH FAITH, let us [grasp the fact that we] have [the peace of reconciliation to hold and to enjoy] peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 2 Through Him also we have [our] ACCESS (entrance, introduction) BY FAITH into this GRACE (state of God’s favor) in which we [FIRMLY and SAFELY] STAND. And let us rejoice and exult in our hope of experiencing and enjoying the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2/AMP Classic Edition.
 
“Now FAITH is the ASSURANCE (title deed, confirmation) of things hoped for (divinely guaranteed), and the EVIDENCE of things not seen [the conviction of their reality—faith comprehends as fact what cannot be experienced by the physical senses]. 2 For by this [kind of] FAITH the men of old GAINED [DIVINE] APPROVAL. 3 By FAITH [that is, with an inherent trust and enduring confidence in the power, wisdom and goodness of God] we understand that the worlds (universe, ages) were FRAMED and CREATED [formed, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose] by THE WORD of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [WALK with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God EXISTS and that He REWARDS those who [earnestly and diligently] SEEK Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/AMP.
 
And to FUNCTION and BECOME in God, one needs to ensure that they BELIEVE in Christ Jesus and BELONG to His Church WITHOUT PREJUDICE, SENTIMENTS and DISSIMULATION, and with a daring spirit of truth and not with a fear phobia, both in doing LIFE and living GODLY. And you can then FUNCTION and BECOME what you BELIEVE upon in God’s WORD of BLESSEDNESS by God’s POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
I PRAY YOU DARE TO BELIEVE BY THE WORD, TO ENSURE FAITH, IN ORDER TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“But as many as RECEIVED him, to them gave he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name: 13 which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. 14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of GRACE and TRUTH” John 1:12-14.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous (irksome, burdensome, taskmaster). 4 For whatsoever is BORN of God OVERCOMES the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMES the world, but he that BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
 
“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it” Matthew 9:27-30.
 
“. . . Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, all things are possible to him that BELIEVETH. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I BELIEVE; help thou mine unbelief . . .” Mark 9:23-24.
 
“And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:45.

“Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? 10 BELIEVEST thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. 11 BELIEVE me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else BELIEVE me for the very works’ sake. 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son” John 14:9-13.
 
“For God so LOVED the world, that he GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have EVERLASTING LIFE. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is NOT CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.
 
“And the scripture was FULFILLED which saith, Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was imputed unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the FRIEND of God” James 2:23.
 
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham . . . 13 Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For ye ARE all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye ARE all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29.
 
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.
 
“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation” Romans 10:8-10.
 
“For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him for RIGHTEOUSNESS . . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth RIGHTEOUSNESS without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are FORGIVEN, and whose sins are COVERED. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS” Romans 4:3, 6-9.

BELIEVE Before You ACT

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!
 
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.
 
You need to BUILD up your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance the quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the sphere of God’s WORD. It’s very important that you do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION – leading to misconceptions; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS – leading to prejudice and dissimulation; and or ACT on SUSPICION – leading to misinformation and disinformation; and such like, which is a mere state of RELIGION – leading to sectarianism and religious blindfold. Know full well that God intent daily it’s about you having LIFE in the fulness, in His GRACE and not RELIGION and religious dogmas and blindfold. For the cause of experiencing the good and goodness of God is the reason your faith should be built on the essence of the ‘Word of Faith’ in God – where LIFE in the GRACE, is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
 
You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVALS for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you, or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or you can have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being and live with the side effects it brings.
 
“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing [applying] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.
 
“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.
 
FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.
Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.
 
“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
 
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.
 
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.
 
“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.
 
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).
 
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES

By Leave a Comment

BE EMBOLDENED TO CREATE YOUR POSSIBILITIES: BE A – WITNESS – LEADER – AND COMMANDER – AN OVERCOMER – IN YOUR WORLDS!

“Behold, I have GIVEN him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

We live today in a very challenging and difficult times – individuals, families and collective society are facing all sorts – both privately and publicly in thoughts or and indeed, to various segments of wants and needs. And the height of trials, temptations and seduction are increasing and mounting up the more especially for the Believer in Christ Jesus – and it’s simply because the enemy and cohorts, knows their days and times are numbered and time is running out on them. But do you as a Believer in Christ Jesus, KNOWS and UNDERSTANDS THE TIMES that you are currently living and running on in God’s schedule? Do you as a BELIEVER in Christ Jesus stead, do really UNDERSTAND your timeline just as the CHILDREN of ISSACHAR did to be exclusively different and unique to be leaders?  Do you know and understand what you OUGHT to do to LEAD and to be the COMMANDER – meaning to be in charge – than blaming others for your limitations as an entitlement?

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

“Behold, I have given him for a WITNESS to the people, a LEADER and COMMANDER to the people” Isaiah 55:4.

Some of the trials, temptations and challenges tends to make one go along with the flow, even when you know full well, it leads to sin and sinful behaviour, while others events are obvious that it may or will cost you your career, leadership, marriage, relationship, opportunity, integrity, position, shame, embarrassment and such like. There’s the need to know that the appetite for the craziness because everyone is doing it or it appeals to you specially or it’s an avenue of meeting and solving the problems and difficulties you are going through may ends badly as a Believer in Christ Jesus; especially when you know it’s obvious it contradicts the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH that can sets one free, and being able to know the needs to uphold in the face of any heights of such trials and temptations, the SCRIPTURAL TRUTH.

“There hath NO TEMPTATION taken you but such as is COMMON to man: but God is FAITHFUL, who will not SUFFER you to be tempted ABOVE that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, FLEE from idolatry. 15 I speak as to wise men; JUDGE [EXAMINE] ye what I SAY” 1 Corinthians 10:13-15.

“Prove all things; HOLD FAST that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-23.

May I announce to you that there is an enabling grace in God to say NO. I mean to say again NO and NO and to sound it loud – NOOOOOOOOOO (is there an English word as such a loud NO, I don’t think so, just an expression). It thus means that, there is an enabling of God in grace to overcome the little and great height challenges in your worlds of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus. Sometimes you need to run away and in some cases to flee from every appearance of that which defile the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in your life.

“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. 15 These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you” Titus 2:11-15 NIV.

The ENEMY and COHORTS knows your WORTH. Do you know your WORTH? And they have prized, and price tagged on you. Do you know God’s prized and price tagged on you in REDEMPTION just as He said of Job (Job 1:6-12), I KNOW him and of Abraham (Genesis 18:17-19), I KNOW him. Can God say he KNOWS you, knowing you will uphold your being in Him by the enabling grace He has given to you to say NO, or RUN or FLEE when it’s obviously necessary that your POSSIBILITIES by God is about to be jeopardize by self, the world and probably the devil and cohorts. You know the drill, yeah, you know the drill. Take a STAND in grace today. Romans 5:1-2; Ephesians 6:10-14; 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I make bold to say that you are a World made Overcomer in Christ Jesus. The default is in you in Christ Jesus stead to face trials, temptations and such like and still OVERCOME. James 1:2-8; 1 Corinthians 10:13-15. You can make it a reality and possibility by Believing and acting accordingly in FAITH. Romans 5:1-2; Hebrews 11:6. This is the VICTORY that helps you overcomes your worlds of doing life and living godly – it’s your FAITH on the Scriptural truth to say NO or RUN or FLEE when necessary for your good and the good of others especially too, who looks up to you to ensure TESTIMONY of GRACE and TRUTH in our God. Revelation 12:11. Revelation 19:10.

I pray today that you be emboldened and endeavour to ensure that the enabling grace of God within you works for you to be and remain the OVERCOMER and VICTORIOUS, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and TRIUMPHANT Believer of God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. (1 Corinthians 15:57; Romans 8:37; 2 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 5:4-5).

Have an awesome day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH-PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

“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.

“And of The Children Of Issachar, which were men that had UNDERSTANDING OF THE TIMES, to know what Israel OUGHT TO DO; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment” 1 Chronicles 12:32.

“Jesus said unto him, IF THOU CANST BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR

By Leave a Comment

POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT – THE HOW TO DAILY OVERCOME, TRIUMPH AND BE THE VICTOR: YOU NEED TO COMMUNICATE YOUR POSSIBILITY FAITH TO MATTERS OF LIFE AND GODLINESS!

“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.

The New Creation life is expressed by our steady act of the CONFESSION [DECLARATION] of our FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus. The act of CONFESSION [DECLARATION] is the COMMUNICATION of your FAITH in Christ Jesus to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS irrespective of your circumstances. Suffix to know that the NEW CREATION Believers was and are called or regarded in early times as the people of GREAT PROFESSION or GREAT CONFESSION or GREAT TESTIMONY TESTIFIERS – whose FAITH are in Christ Jesus – their Saviour and Lord.

This act of FAITH CONFESSION [DECLARATION] is only productive, result oriented, that is effectual, when we are able to COMMUNICATE our FAITH by the ACKNOWLEDGING of the GOOD DID of God by Christ Jesus IN us. It’s not about the CONFESSION of SIN as unto BEING BORN AGAIN in Christ Jesus, but about the AFFIRMATION of our FAITH in the now as NEW CREATION in the GOOD of God IN Christ Jesus to all about us IN Him, to matters of LIFE and GODLINESS. This is what keeps us as RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers’ rather than SIN CONSCIOUS or CONSCIOUSNESS Believers in Christ Jesus toward God.

There’s the need to be readily steady in holding steadfastly your FAITH CONFESSION (DECLARATION, AFFIRMATION, ANNOUNCING, PROCLAMATION) toward that particular needs in your life by you continuous holding forth in God on the good in you as to what Christ Jesus had DONE IN you, DOING FOR you, WILL DO THROUGH you as regards to that particular or intended matter. That’s Faith in the done deed, doing deed and eventual deed of God in Christ Jesus. That’s how the victory, overcoming, triumph and more than conquerors life are enacted and authenticated to life in reality.

FAITH IS ACTIVE. BELIEVE IS PASSIVE. FAITH is acting accordingly on what you BELIEVE of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore, it’s NOT ENOUGH to BELIEVE God for something, you MUST act ACCORDINGLY to that believe on what Christ Jesus stead is to that matter, in order to make it happen tangibly in real life. And to act is to communicate along gracious to that intent as Jesus’ deed too in humanity.

“So all bore WITNESS to Him, and marveled at the GRACIOUS WORDS WHICH PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22 NKJV.

Hence between when you pray to ASK God for something and when the ANSWER comes, what you communicate in between, that is, CONFESS about that matter you prayed to God to act upon, must be of the FAITH in acknowledgement of the good did of Christ in you, otherwise your expectations will be aborted before arrival.

Genuine HEART BELIEVE and FAITH CONFESS makes you SEE ANSWERS on your cause and course and not to SEE or be seeing same QUESTIONS – which is the FAILED or FAILING CIRCUMSTANCES and SITUATIONS that was and is about you on the subject matter in question.

You need to vigorously develop the spirit in you to COMMUNICATE your FAITH which is born and bathed in and by the WORD by the blessed Holy Spirit, to keep you steadily steadfast in effectual living in LIFE and GODLINESS.

Therefore, I say Go forth and win your day by an aggressive steady COMMUNICATION, which is the CONFESSION, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION, ANNOUNCEMENT – of your FAITH towards that matter of LIFE and GODLINESS, as you BELIEVE of God, for therein ALL THINGS ARE MADE POSSIBLE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS’ IN CHRIST JESUS

POSSESSING YOUR POSSESSIONS IN CHRIST JESUS: IT’S YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS & PRIVILEGES IN ZION – THE CHURCH!

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

The CHURCH, the City of God, the Embassy, the Mount Zion, is your major life wire to POSSESS, and in POSSESSING your POSSESSIONS in the kingdom of our God in Christ Jesus. There’s an INHERITANCE for ALL in the kingdom as we soar and thrive in grace as Christ has made us BECOME in REDEMPTION. However, know full well that you ARE the CHURCH that God is BUILDING by His WORD in the power of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead. And, you have to INTENTIONALLY belong also, to the gathering of the Churches of God, of which you are a member in particular, in the place called THERE, wherein there’s a GATHERING in the name of the Father God, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit. Amen. There you can SERVE God in Christ Jesus ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP Him accordingly WORTHILY in spirit and truth, as written:

“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that WORSHIP him must WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:23-24.

“Not forsaking the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER [HABIT, BEHAVIOUR] of some is; but EXHORTING one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching” Hebrews 10:25.

“The GRACE of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the LOVE of God, and the COMMUNION of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen” 2 Corinthians 13:14.

In possessing your Kingdom rights and privileges possession in Christ Jesus, your best place to start is THE CHURCH – the ASSEMBLY – the gathering, of God’s precious and redeemed people. For as goes to THE CHURCH, so goes you and THE NATION, otherwise it’s catastrophic when this order is overlooked and misappropriated for any selfish and disgruntled reasons.

For the above PRINCIPLE and UNDERSTANDING, you must as a matter of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY, endeavour to BELIEVE, BELONG in the Church of Christ Jesus in order to BECOME a part. The reason been, the Church, which is you and the Churches of Christ, which is the mount Zion of God, are assured of three things when this order of grace is followed accordingly. The order does not grace there will EXPERIENCE includes but not limited are:

* Deliverance from all sorts (you name it).

* Holiness – God’s nature, accessible to all in order to obtain God’s grace and blessings.

* Possessing your possessions – all that Christ had obtained for you in REDEMPTION made Possible with the ease of His grace.

Your POSSIBILITIES can start now. However, envision yourself with a great start to possess your possessions in Christ Jesus by being in HIS CHURCH not as an OBSERVER – that is – but as one that BELIEVE, BELONG to BECOME as in His REDEMPTION plan, purpose and pursuit as it’s written:

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob shall POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Emphasis Mine).

SCRIPTURAl THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye BE NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH AND PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“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” 1 Peter 3:8-9 (Emphasis Mine).

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his GRACE, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to give you an INHERITANCE AMONG all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.

“But ye are come unto MOUNT SION (Zion), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and CHURCH of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel” Hebrews 12:22-24 (Emphasis Mine).

“Our fathers WORSHIPPED in this MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, BELIEVE me, the hour cometh, when ye shall NEITHER in this MOUNTAIN, NOR yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for SALVATION is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and NOW is, when the TRUE worshippers shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father Seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit and in truth” John 4:20-24.

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR WITH GRACIOUS WORDS

By Leave a Comment

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR WITH GRACIOUS WORDS: I BELIEVE AND I THEREFORE SPEAK FORTH ACCORDINGLY!

“We HAVING the same spirit of FAITH, according as it is written, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

What are you SPEAKING FORTH? Is it SCRIPTURAL and within CONTEXT? I have a simple but great thoughtful questions before you at this start up time of the YEAR and with the dawn entrance month January. I want you to take time to thoughtfully PONDER if any or more of these matters concerns you in context:

** Do you actually BELIEVE in the YOU in YOU in Christ Jesus stead?

** Do you actually BELIEVE what you are DECLARING and SAYING and ANNOUNCING and PROCLAIMING and CONFESSING to and possibly might have DECLARED about yourself in your YEAR BLUEPRINT?

** Are you just ACTING UP and BANKING on PRESUMPTIONS or ASSUMPTIONS, which you know will definitely bring one to a place of DELUSION as before?

** Do you KNOW and UNDERSTAND for yourself who you ARE, what you HAVE, what YOU’VE become of God in Christ Jesus in REDEMPTION?

** Are you living in the light of the WORD wherein God had set you FREE in Christ Jesus?

** I hope you ARE not living under the taskmaster of men that ‘do god’ to you thereby enslaving you in their vicious tutelage of extortion, control and then subjugate you to themselves instead of toward the WORD of God?

I want you to know for certainty that whatsoever that’s not of God’s WORD or rather in the CONTEXT of God’s WORD in respect of the question of consideration, is then not of the inspiration, revelation and empowerment of the Holy Spirit of God; and that indicates that you run away from it, irrespective of what it entails. Just know that if you can’t BELIEVE it – that is, to CONCEIVE it, you can’t ACT on it by FAITH. You may ACT on it by FATE thinking is FAITH. FAITH is not FATE.  FAITH is of the WORD of God while FATE is on assumptions and presumption to anything in the natural sense [sensual, flesh] of reasons outside God’s WORD patterning to what you can: smell, hear, see, taste, feel/touch. And if yes to FATE and not to God’s WORD, then, you need to PAUSE AND THINK – SELAH.

And if you can actually BELIEVE in your God given YEAR BLUE PRINT set vision [Plan, Purpose and Pursuit], then go FORTH to keep on keeping on, by SPEAKING IT FORTH and DECLARING IT FORTH into reality as you DILIGENTLY follow suit with the resource of grace that’s available for your PRUDENCE management as may be applicable: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL AND PEOPLE; you will discover and come to the realisation overtime, that, it will bring about your desires and fulfilment into reality and wholeness.

For when your spirit-Heart BELIEVES and MOUTH declaration AGREES in the same spirit of grace through DILIGENCE, REALITY and FRUITION is bound to BECOME as spoken in Christ Jesus on your behalf. [Hebrews 11:6; Psalms 19:14; Proverbs 22:29; Habakkuk 2:1-4].

So, keep the UNWAVERING FAITH in that which you BELIEVE and trust God about it and to do it on your behalf. Know for certain that God BELIEVES in you, but do you BELIEVE in yourself into the ability of the WORD to materialised in and through you?

“. . . 37 For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD. And the angel departed from her . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:26-45.

“And the very God of peace SANCTIFY you WHOLLY; and I pray God your WHOLE spirit and soul and body be PRESERVED BLAMELESS unto the COMING of our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

It’s imperative that, as Apostle Paul and David the King in the Holy writ writings would make us to know and to see the reason and the need to BELIEVE first, as the how to operate in the realms of TRIUMPH, VICTORY, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and OVERCOMER; for to BELIEVE is to CONCEIVE the word [information, message] – which means CONCEIVING a SEED; just as a woman would have to CONCEIVE first [the seed for productivity] if she must give birth to a child; you need to know full well that EVERY SEED has within the seed, the potential of REPRODUCING the kind in ABUNDANCE when truly natured; of which in this context and at this moment it’s to nature God’s WORD and to SPEAK FORTH the WORD accordingly and to keep on keeping on DECLARING the WORD unto the AFFIRMATION of the reality – until the WORD will BECOME tangible – that’s for you to STAY-ON SPEAKING FORTH the WORD, until an ANSWER comes as it will assuredly]. [2 Corinthians 4 13; Psalms 19:14; Romans 10:8-13]; for SURELY the CONCEIVE WORD-VISION is for an APPOINTED TIME and it shall come to pass according to the Scriptures. It thus means, that, between the TIME you do BELIEVE [CONCEPTION MOMENT] and to the time of the DELIVERY [ACTUALISATION], what you do DECLARE, SAY, PROCLAIM, ANNOUNCE to SEE is very vital spiritually, unto the tangibility and realisation of your EXPECTATIONS. See how our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, went speaking forth GRACIOUS WORDS after announcing the big moment of God’s PURPOSE for Him before the audience for His onward and upward trajectory.

“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/Emphasis Mine.

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs; 23:18.

“Being CONFIDENT of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work IN you will PERFORM it until the day of Jesus Christ” Philippians 1:6.

“Through FAITH also Sara herself RECEIVED strength to CONCEIVE seed, and was DELIVERED of a child when she was past age, because she JUDGED him FAITHFUL who had PROMISED. 12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the seashore innumerable” Hebrews 11:11-12.

When Two BLIND MEN in Matthew 9:27-31 came to Jesus for their wholeness [healing and health], they were asked by Jesus if they BELIEVED in His ability to make them whole and to make them receive their sight accordingly through Him; they shouted in their declarations – YEAH LORD, WE BELIEVE! They did not just BELIEVE – CONCEIVE to see, they FOLLOWED all the way to see the expectations come to fruition. And when the blind men were questioned afterwards, they UPHELD to their BELIEVE unwaveringly to the same DECLARATIONS; and the blind men then SAW – received their sight afterwards [BELIEVE BECOMES TANGIBLE]. For Jesus said to them, ACCORDING to your FAITH – [ACTING on what you BELIEVE] – RECEIVE your sight. Meaning, you BECOME what you BELIEVE. And they BECAME [SAW] what they BELIEVE.

Another LIVING EPISTLE of this is found in Luke 1:26-45. When the Angel Gabriel spoke to Mary the mother of our Saviour Lord and king – Jesus Christ, concerning the Birth of Christ Jesus, she did ask the Angel, how can this be or rather how can it happen, considering her position or circumstances as a virgin and engaged to be married. The Angel told her how the Holy Spirit will come upon her to make it happens. The Scripture record was that she BELIEVE, meaning she CONCEIVE the WORD and said then and on – BE IT INTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. She was so excited in her BELIEVE and CONCEPTION that she keeps DECLARING of her CONCEPTION, knowing also that she had been told, that, with God, NOTHING shall be IMPOSSIBLE.

“. . . 37 For with God NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me ACCORDING TO THY WORD. And the angel departed from her . . . 45 And BLESSED is she that BELIEVED: for there shall be a PERFORMANCE of those things which were told her from the Lord” Luke 1:26-45.

Mary in her BELIEVE – that is, in her conception, visited Elizabeth her cousin who then was also pregnant. And soon as they met, the Holy Spirit came upon Elizabeth who then went and made a vivid DECLARATION, saying – BLESSED IS SHE THAT BELIEVE FOR THEY SHALL BE A PERFORMANCE OF THOSE THINGS THAT ARE SPOKEN TO HER BY THE LORD. We know later both women gave birth to their baby – the IMPOSSIBLE becomes POSSIBLE for them. The Scripture in John 1:14 said the WORD became FLESH – [meaning becomes TANGIBLE, and dwell among HUMANITY]. What was the WORD spoken, when BELIEVE upon – CONCEIVED and WATERED by FAITH unwavering DECLARATION, it then BECOME tangible – a reality. For FAITH is ACTING on what you BELIEVE accordingly of God’s WORD. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE.

“And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.

I say again to you, THAT YOUR BLUE PRINT for YEAR 2024, DO YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE IN IT? or is it as one of those NEW YEAR RESOLUTION or RELIGIOUS DOGMAS to certify your curiosity and fleshy satisfaction?

May I say to you that –  When and what you can CONCEIVE of God by His WORD and go FORTH DECLARING it, you INITIATE and CREATE the atmosphere for your needed ANSWER to MAKE you BECOME it – that is, to make it tangible and a reality in the grace wherein we stand in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 5:1-2]. Just be ASSURED that today in Christ Jesus, we have the SURE WORD OF PROPHECY and the ASSURED HOLY SPIRIT living in us, to give the enabling we need to BELIEVE [CONCEIVE] and to bring FORTH [bring about a DELIVERING] through DECLARATION of that which we CONCEIVED of God in our blueprint. Therefore, SEARCH the Scriptures to find the BELIEVING SCRIPTURES to your BLUE PRINT.

I pray that by God’s grace you will BECOME your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

PREVAILING BY THE PREVAILING WORD

By Leave a Comment

PREVAILING BY THE PREVAILING WORD: YOUR POSSIBILITIES STARTS NOW – NO MATTER HOW SMALL!

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

“So mightily grew THE WORD of God and PREVAILED” Acts 19:20.

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER END should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7.

Your attitude will lead you to your altitude. You can’t live a life of procrastination and wants to prevail with a breakthrough possibility by the WORD. You can’t PREVAIL by the WORD when you are not ready, prepared and determined to do something now by the WORD. The Word of God is in the now project just as FAITH is in the now to bring about results. It’s not what you reference, it’s what you live in the now that defines you. While you plan for tomorrow as wisdom demands, you must intentionally and unreservedly and consciously live in the now and not tomorrow to ascertain possibilities.

In the same scenario, you don’t have to postponed to start your intent by the WORD. Probably your intent is to write that book –  why starts tomorrow instead of now; or is to start that business, career or whatsoever – why starts by tomorrow instead of now; or is to kick start that needful training or skills or educational program that will enhance your opportunity – why starts by tomorrow instead of now; and why wait to take the necessary steps tomorrow instead of now with the little available to get you to greater heights; why wait until you have a full bag of finance to start a new dawn endeavour; why can’t you start from where you are and grow up into whatever you have in mind to accomplish this year. Always tell yourself that POSSIBILITY is now. And PREVAILING by The PREVAILING WORD is now and not tomorrow.

 The scripture do indicate that though our beginning may be small, that our latter end will greatly increase if you give it the right attitude – the POSSIBILITIES ATTITUDE. And that’s attitude that prevails and it’s WORD based. And possibility for the BELIEVING one in Christ Jesus stead is by FAITH. And Faith does not operate outside the WORD of God. And you have to BELIEVE the WORD before you can POSSIBLY act upon it to make FAITH active.

So therefore, if you must make all things possible about the YEAR, begin from where you are now and grow into higher heights. An onward and upward trajectory is born in the hearts of those who chose to look beyond their present limitation by starting from where there are to that great place of BLOSSOMING with a THRIVING attitude not a SURVIVAL attitude. For with God, they know all things are possible and to them also who believe on the ability and capacity of THE PREVAILING WORD to make it a reality.

I PRAY that God gives you wisdom and speed as you take an emboldened steps of possibility by acting on the prevailing WORD that prevails over all things in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Though thy BEGINNING was SMALL, yet thy LATTER END should GREATLY INCREASE” Job 8:7.

“So the Lord BLESSED THE LATTER END of Job MORE THAN HIS BEGINNING: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses. 13 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. 16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. 17 So Job died, being old and full of days” Job 42:12-17.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH – ACT UPON IT NOW!

“. . . 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD . . .” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on the BELIEVE on the WORD of God – that is – acting on whom and what you believe. Why BELIEVE is PASSIVE, FAITH is ACTIVE. Did you say then you have FAITH? Act on it NOW, for FAITH is now – in order to LIVE, THRIVE and SOAR in EXCELLENCE, SUCCESS and FULFILMENT.

FAITH is NOW: It’s a FORESIGHT with an INSIGHT – Not a new YEAR RESOLUTION, nor an act of PROCRASTINATION, ASSUMPTION, PRESUMPTION and FOOLISHNESS; and it requires no special conference or seminar or fasting to activate; it’s not a denominational DOCTRINE or CREED or BY-LAW to activate. Simply BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT on that BELIEVE accordingly, unreservedly and uncompromisingly.

FAITH is TIMELESS: I Believe, therefore I Speak Forth Correspondingly – Acting on it, until my dawn day is dawn.

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

FAITH is a MYSTERY but not mystical: Faith is spiritual, as such, a mystery not subject to natural laws, instead natural laws as well as the heavenly laws submit to faith when held in PURE CONSCIENCE.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

And as a mystery, it REWARDS without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation for any self gratifications. And whatever is done outside the mystery of FAITH is a sin in that context.

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for WHATSOEVER is NOT of FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:23.

FAITH pleases God. FAITH is the DE FACTO to do business with the heavenly. FAITH is of the WORD of God, hence a NO WORD means a NO FAITH. FAITH rewards. FAITH gives Victory. FAITH brings about triumph. FAITH sustains. FAITH overcomes. FAITH is tangible. FAITH is reachable. FAITH is touchable. FAITH is living. FAITH delivers. FAITH works only by love. FAITH is not transferable. FAITH is obtainable. FAITH is much more than words and description.

Therefore, HAVE FAITH IN GOD in all you do, in order to receive the enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We having the SAME spirit of FAITH, according as it is WRITTEN, I BELIEVED, and therefore have I SPOKEN; we also BELIEVE, and therefore SPEAK” 2 Corinthians 4:13.

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we PREACH; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH confession is MADE unto SALVATION” Romans 10:8-10.

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:16-17).

“So then FAITH cometh by HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:17.

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for WHATSOEVER is NOT of FAITH is SIN” Romans 14:23.

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a pure conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the WORLDS were FRAMED by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that diligently seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and SAID unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I SAY unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall SAY unto this MOUNTAIN, Be thou REMOVED, and be thou CAST into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall HAVE WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I SAY unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 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.

“For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE” Galatians 5:6.

TO ENACT A NEVER-THE-LESS ENABLING: LAUNCH INTO THE DEEP FOR A CATCH!

It’s a beautiful NEW DAY that the CREATOR God has MADE and not the enemy and cohorts – that’s the reason to REJOICE and be GLAD in it – now and always – in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“This is the DAY which the Lord hath MADE; we will REJOICE and be GLAD in it” Psalms 118:24.

No matter how much you’ve toiled in the last ELEVENTH MONTH, don’t give up, don’t loose heart and don’t give room to weariness and failure and self-pity decorum. You may be at the verge of your ELEVENTH HOUR to break forth into your miracles and breakthrough over all the – mountains, valleys, crooked roads and rough places – that have stood AGAINST you in entering your DESIRED PLACES; more so, be set to breakthrough into that SET gracious position that tend to have defiled you and define you by standing as an OBSTACLE to your path of fulfilment and excellence.

All you need to do is to take an extra walk and on the WORK of FAITH against all odds and LAUNCH into the DEEP, that is, away from the SHALLOW of – intimidation, failure, fear and mediocrity – because your hour of great catch has come and it’s now in God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

And I proclaim in the name of Jesus, that as Peter and others believe the WORD, took a STEP OF FAITH ON THE WORD by declaring a NEVER-THE-LESS, in spite of their yesterday failures, and they LAUNCH into the DEEP by the WORD for a great CATCH, in same like spirit, may you LAUNCH in faith by the WORD, get your own CATCH in Jesus precious name. Amen. And may your CATCH be in grace on WHATSOEVER it is that’s named, that you desired of God, that your joy might be full in life and in the Lord, in Jesus precious name, Amen. And may your abundance of catch enlarge you beyond bounds, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

And may as you read this scripture of Luke 5:1-11 in full, may you receive the enabling grace to your BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP, and LET DOWN YOUR NETS FOR A DRAUGHT.  5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have TOILED ALL THE NIGHT, and have taken nothing: NEVERTHELESS at thy WORD I will let down the net.  6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great MULTITUDE of FISHES: and their net brake.  7 And they BECKONED unto their partners, which were in the other ship, that they should come and help them. And they came, and filled both the ships, so that they began to sink.  8 When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.  9 For he was ASTONISHED, and all that were with him, at the DRAUGHT of the fishes which they had taken . . .” (Luke 5:1-11).
