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.

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER
DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!
“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP.
Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for anyone especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy AS MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.
It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence, this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as I hereby state:
“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”
However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.
The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:
*** CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.
*** CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.
The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.
Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

The great HALLMARK of our REDEMPTION, is the REDEMPTION from SIN – which is REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ – and that gives us the enabling rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead OVER the effects of SIN: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH.

This is BEAUTIFUL and COLOURFUL in that He MADE this possible by MAKING us QUALIFIED firstly as His in these SCRIPTURAL wise:
“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, 9-10.
“Giving thanks to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14 NKJV.

Why should you LIVE LESS than WHO and WHAT you are MADE to BE in Christ Jesus – wherein you’ve been MADE, God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Romans 5:17, 21).

WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2022
WELCOME TO MONTH OCTOBER 2022: MONTH OF – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
The Month OCTOBER is the TENTH month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars; and it’s the sixth of seven months to have a length of 31 days.
October was originally the eighth month of the Roman calendar. It comes from the Latin word “OCTO” meaning eight. Later, it became the 10th month when January and February were added to the Calendar. And spiritually, the number “eight” is said to be a symbol of new beginning signifying WEALTH, PROSPERITY, PEACE and FERTILITY. October is normally time of the year when farmers harvest their crops. In the northern hemisphere October is usually considered the second month of autumn and is commonly associated with the season of spring in parts of the Southern Hemisphere, and autumn in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, where it is the seasonal equivalent to April in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. Month October indicates BLESSEDNESS.
I, therefore, employ you into this gracious month of BLESSEDNESS of our God by – “BUILDING UP YOUR PRECIOUS AND MOST HOLY FAITH” – IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD and by HOLDING FORTH THE MYSTERY OF THE FAITH IN PURE CONSCIENCE – TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
