HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DID YOU SAY YOU HAVE FAITH

By Leave a Comment

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.

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.

THIS CHRISTMAS – Do it without DEBT

THIS CHRISTMAS – Do it without DEBT: Don’t be INDEBTED in the name of Commemoration and Celebration!

“Every man shall GIVE AS HE IS ABLE, ACCORDING to the BLESSING of the Lord thy God which he HATH GIVEN THEE” Deuteronomy 16:17.

“Every man ACCORDING as he PURPOSETH in his heart, so let him GIVE; not GRUDGINGLY, or of NECESSITY: for God loveth a CHEERFUL GIVER” 2 Corinthians 9:7.

I know in essence that carrying out the UNWRITTEN DEMANDS we place on ourselves during this Christmas season in respect of GIVING, RECEIVING and SHARING GIFT and or FOOD is enormous; you must know and understand, that though it’s a good intent which I do agree and believe totally with all graciousness and gracefulness as I cherish doing, but it known also, that it’s an unhealthy demand to place on yourself to accomplish when you don’t have the resources to act accordingly.

I hereby suggest to you – let your actions be done with what you have as the scriptures enjoined; and then act accordingly, when and where you can but not in debt and indebtedness that ends you in the sickening of your well-being. For it’s MORE gracious and graceful when you can do it cheerfully without murmuring, complaining and subjecting yourself to any form of psychological and emotional unrest.

And worst still, let not giving and sharing be done while you know that your being is spiritually disarmed to handle challenges, especially when you are behind in the repayment of some incurred indebtedness, and you know that when debt letters and or calls and or the visit of debt collectors comes knocking at your door, that the signal of depression, anguish, wrath, bitterness, regrets and such like will trigger along with other side effects.

I don’t think Christ Jesus would APPROVE all the indebtedness that people indulge themselves in the name of Christmas celebration and commemoration. Nobody is entitled to put you into debt and indebtedness in order to keep such a person happy at your expense; for you are the CUSTODIAN of your peace and happiness and none else – so guard jealously your well-being happiness without compromise to please any before you. It’s best to live within your means – that is, within your FAITH – in the joy, happiness and grace of God in Christ Jesus. For the just in Christ shall live by his/her faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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; Romans 1:17; Hebrews 10:38].

Always know in hearts of thoughts that Jesus is risen and Enthroned. He’s no longer:

* THE BABY IN THE MANGER

* THE SERVANT ON THE CROSS

He’s the Lord God on the THRONE and He LIVES, REIGNS and RULES over ALL in ALL.

Therefore be MERRY, enjoy yourself with what you can and have available to yourself no matter how little, in the peace and grace of God in Christ Jesus stead; and where there’s more overflowing, you can then share in grace, love and peace in good will and joyfully in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS WITHOUT DEBT AND INDEBTEDNESS!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if there be FIRST a WILLING mind, it is accepted ACCORDING to that a man HATH, and NOT ACCORDING to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:12.

“Every man shall GIVE AS HE IS ABLE, ACCORDING to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he HATH GIVEN THEE” Deuteronomy 16:17.

“Every man ACCORDING as he PURPOSETH in his heart, so let him give; not GRUDGINGLY, or of NECESSITY: for God loveth a CHEERFUL GIVER” 2 Corinthians 9:7.

“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.

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

THIS CHRISTMAS PREP – SIGHTING AND VISUALISING THE UPCOMING OF A NEW DAWN YEAR: STILL AT DECADE 2020’S – A DECADE OF SIGNIFICANCE!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS:

“Where there is no VISION, the PEOPLE perish: but he that keepeth the law, HAPPY is he” Proverbs 29:18.

“I will STAND upon my WATCH, and SET me upon the tower, and will WATCH to see what he will SAY unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE the VISION, and make it PLAIN upon TABLES, that he may RUN that READETH it. 3 For the VISION is yet for an APPOINTED time, but at the END it shall SPEAK, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry” Habakkuk 2:1-3.

“The HORSE is PREPARED AGAINST the DAY of BATTLE: but safety is of the Lord” Proverbs 21:31.

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before KINGS (HONOUR, DIGNITY, NOBLE); he shall not STAND before MEAN (OBSCURE, SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD, UNPRODUCTIVE) men” Proverbs 22:29.

“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 God is NOT UNRIGHTEOUS (UNJUST) 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.

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER . . . THIS CHRISTMAS AND THE CHURCH SERVICES: ENDEAVOUR TO FIND ONE NEAR YOU AND ATTEND!

**What is CHRISTMAS – is the yearly commemoration and Celebration of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our – Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus – and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for all mankind.

**What is the CHURCH – is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP to enhance their common RELATIONSHIP in Christ Jesus with each other – and to WORSHIP and SERVE God WORTHILY and ACCEPTABLY – under a designated Shepherd – Pastor.

The service in the Church gathering highlights the CHRISTMAS. In the MORNING service or at START of service – it is called the GATHERING or COMING TOGETHER – otherwise THE MASS Service – the Celebration and Commemoration [Hebrews 10:24-25]; while in the EVENING gathering or at CLOSING of service it is called BENEDICTION – a time of PROFESSING, DECLARATION, PROCLAMATION and ANNOUNCING to the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – which is the act of PRAYER in endorsing and invoking the divine Trinity. And that is ascribed in this scriptural context and injunctions in terms:

“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.

It’s good to know in the scriptural context and injunctions in terms are of the 2 Corinthians 13:14, what it thus signifies:

* The GRACE – which is, the ACTS of Christ;

* The LOVE – which is The ACTS of the Father God; and

* The COMMUNION (Fellowship) – which is The ACTS of the Holy Spirit.

These BENEDICTION ACTS are often said after this manner occasionally at most Churches gatherings as a declaration, affirmation, and announcement:

“May the GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ, the LOVE of God and the COMMUNION of the Holy Spirit be with you” and I add this phrase to it – and those you care about – even as in this Christmas. Amen.

I therefore employ you to endeavour to attend to the CHURCH GATHERING services near you if there’s an opening of their door of services on Christmas day. Absenteeism is not an option if know full well that:

“SELFISHNESS makes CHRISTMAS a burden while LOVE makes CHRISTMAS an INDESCRIBABLE celebration and commemoration of PEACE, HOPE, FAITH, JOY and GOODWILL to all mankind” Amen.

Blessed regards in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And let us CONSIDER one another to PROVOKE unto LOVE and to GOOD WORKS: 25 not FORSAKING the ASSEMBLING of ourselves together, as the MANNER 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.

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING

By Leave a Comment

THERE’S MORE TO PRAYER AND TO – PRAYING AND FASTING: PRAYER IS RELATIONSHIP ENHANCED BY FELLOWSHIP!

“Thou wilt shew me THE PATH OF LIFE: in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS OF JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES FOR EVERMORE” Psalms 16:11 [Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6].

Sometimes People talk and almost boast on how much they do fast or have fasted and prayed and praying as to qualify or earn them somehow a spiritual status of greatness; more especially as we are about turning into a new year, some will set days or weeks or months as if they are in a comparable state to prove something. Forgetting that they who go comparing themselves for whatever reason in this Kingdom causes are not Scripturally wise – meaning are foolish, ignorant and immature for such act of comparison intent as written:

“For we DARE not make ourselves of the NUMBER, or COMPARE ourselves with some that COMMEND themselves: but they MEASURING themselves by themselves, and COMPARING themselves among themselves, ARE NOT WISE” 2 Corinthians 10:12.

Prayer or praying and fasting is a vitality and necessity for every Christian faith believer in Christ Jesus of which I acclaimed to belong. I love to vitalise my faith through all that, but as important as any or both vitalities and necessities are, they are void if the objective is not primarily about FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God as a result of being born of God and for the good and goodness of God’s cause on earth for mankind in Christ Jesus stead.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“And in the morning, RISING UP A GREAT WHILE BEFORE DAY, he went out, and departed into a SOLITARY PLACE, and there PRAYED” Mark 1:35.

And to engage in an effective PRAYERS and probably with FASTING in FELLOWSHIP to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God for any cause, there’s the need to live a life of FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS to necessitate them. Many may say they can or may FORGIVE but can’t possibly FORGET. Can you imagine God, ONLY FORGIVING you of your shortfalls and NOT FORGETTING about it? and you want to claim to live or be living in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead without such knowing and understanding as God’s offspring?

“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, WHEN YE PRAY, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye SHALL HAVE them.  25 And WHEN YE STAND PRAYING, FORGIVE, if ye have OUGHT AGAINST ANY: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your TRESPASSES.  26 But if ye DO NOT FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES” Mark 11:24-26.

And one needs to know that as God is in Christ Jesus, so ARE we in this world, in order to carry on His GOSPEL mandate without an “IF and BUT” baggages – 1 John 4:17-18 [John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5]. This then indicates that there’s therefore something more of a FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES we need to uphold in grace by faith, in order to enhance PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING. Thus, there is more to PRAYERS or PRAYING and FASTING toward our – RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – which are in twine with FORGIVENESS and FORGETFULNESS. Otherwise, prayer will be UNANSWERED and one is only a noise maker of self-gratification and in deceptions, no matter how much you acclaimed to prayers or prayer and fasting.

For PRAYER or PRAYING AND FASTING to be effectual – productive and results oriented, it must have the FOUNDATION and FUNDAMENTAL principles called a RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead and enhanced through FELLOWSHIP accordingly. That’s the basic principle that any one who intends to reach out to God must endeavour to establish for themselves otherwise middle men cohorts in the name of God with titles and entitlements, will take advantage of such vulnerability and ignorance, and become a god and wants to do god to such an individual which is unscriptural and unfounded in the Christian FAITH foundation and fundamental, which justification and access by faith is only of – REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward Christ Jesus. Amen. [Acts 20:20-21].

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God, and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in hope of the glory of God” Romans 5:1-2.

And to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus Christ, the act of communion – FELLOWSHIP, is a necessity and vitality for one to fulfill PURPOSE with God. [1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. The act of FELLOWSHIP is to enhance RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, and this act to enhance is only possible with a spirited heart of forgiving (FORGIVENESS) and forgetting (FORGETFULNESS) on the human part toward God in Christ Jesus, toward self and toward others. You can’t get yourself entangle with unforgiveness and unforgettable attitude to God, to self and to others and wants to enjoy God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For it’s upon this principle aforementioned, that PRAYERS – PRAYING AND FASTING – act can be of EFFECTUAL – productive and result oriented with the peace, assurance that transcends and surpasses human comprehension and understanding. [Mark 11:20-26; Matthew 5:38-48; James 5:13-18, Philippians 4:6-7. Ephesians 3:14-20].

I pray that you receive the grace for an effectual and efficient FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP with God in Christ Jesus stead, that will enhanced your PRAYER life through the Spirit of forgiveness and forgetfulness with – God, Self and others –  in Jesus’ precious name. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“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.  25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.  26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses” Mark 11:22-26.

“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.

“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.

“Be CAREFUL FOR NOTHING; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the PEACE of God, which PASSETH ALL UNDERSTANDING, shall KEEP (GUARD, GARRISON) your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” Philippians 4:6-7 Emphasis Mine.

“Herein is our LOVE made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as he is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD” 1 John 4:17.

“Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 but I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. 41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 44 But I say unto you, LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, BLESS THEM THAT CURSE YOU, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU, AND PRAY FOR THEM WHICH DESPITEFULLY USE YOU, AND PERSECUTE YOU; 45 that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect” Matthew 5:38-48.

“Dearly beloved, AVENGE NOT YOURSELVES, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. 20 Therefore if THINE ENEMY HUNGER, FEED HIM; if he THIRST, GIVE HIM DRINK: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. 21 Be NOT OVERCOME OF EVIL, but OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD” Romans 12:19-21.

“If THINE ENEMY BE HUNGRY, give him BREAD TO EAT; and if he be THIRSTY, give him WATER TO DRINK: 22 for thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee” Proverbs 25:21-22.

“When a man’s WAYS PLEASE the Lord, he MAKETH even his ENEMIES TO BE AT PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

“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 11:6.

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH: YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FIGHT!

“If thou FAINT in the DAY of ADVERSITY, thy STRENGTH is SMALL” Proverbs 24:10.

Sometimes in the course of life, things – ADVERSITIES – do happens. How we go about it defines lots in our moving forward – onward and upward trajectory or moving backward or at stand still. When in course of life time – you lose your job, your business close down, you have uncertainty in your relationship and marriage, your children or spouse quit from you, or sickness and diseases afflicts you and your financial position gets worst and uncertain; your career or educational pursuits comes to a hurt and many more setback comes to play in your life – WHAT DO YOU DO? Do you go down to Egypt as Isaac of Abraham in Genesis 26:1-6 or take the step of FAITH as a SHIELD on God’s WORD to believe that with God you can make a new starts up to a better today and tomorrow, in spite of all the odds that are before you or had befallen you. That we are not of them who cast away our confidence in God or pull back into perdition but of them that believed in the all possible God in His people in all circumstances.

“CAST NOT AWAY therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great RECOMPENCE OF REWARD. 36 For ye have NEED OF PATIENCE, that, after ye have DONE THE WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the PROMISE. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them WHO DRAW BACK UNTO PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the saving of the soul” Hebrews 10:35-39.

I want you to also know full well – that, there’s a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH as well as a GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH. And there’s a GOOD SPIRITUAL WARFARE and a BAD SPIRITUAL WARFARE in the course and cause of doing life and to living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s the HOW you use the WORD in MATTERS of life – to either RESPOND instead of to REACT – that defines if you are on a BAD FIGHT OF FAITH and BAD WARFARE or GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH and GOOD WARFARE, in Christ Jesus stead. For the ability to have the good fight of FAITH and good WARFARE is what makes your assured stands in grace 24/7, in all the phases of doing life and living godly to fulfill purpose meaningfully.

“FIGHT the good FIGHT OF FAITH, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses” 1 Timothy 6:12.

“For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT, I have FINISHED my COURSE, I have KEPT the FAITH: 8 henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” 2 Timothy 4:6-8.

“This CHARGE I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a GOOD WARFARE; 19 HOLDING FAITH, and a GOOD CONSCIENCE; which some having PUT AWAY CONCERNING FAITH have made SHIPWRECK: 20 of whom is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme” 1 Timothy 1:18-20.

I WANTS YOU TO KNOW THAT IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR ‘FAITH” THAT THE ENEMY AND COHORTS ARE AFTER AND NOT THE MATERIAL GAINS, THE EVENTS AND HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE. Your FAITH is your VICTORY – and when the enemy and cohorts get your FAITH caught up by any chance – everything about you goes down – for your FAITH is your SHIELD in dealing with the challenges of life in the world and it’s system of operandi. Hence your FAITH on the WORD is an indispensable acquisition NEVER to trade about for any price or prize.

“Above all, taking the SHIELD OF FAITH, wherewith ye shall be able to QUENCH all the FIERY DARTS of the WICKED” Ephesians 6:16.

“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 5:4-5.

The enemy and cohorts knows, if they can SUCCEED in getting you off your ‘FAITH’ – that’s your trust and dependence on God’s grace and absolute providence in Christ Jesus, they will not only ruin you but will also ruin all who God had orchestrated you to be His vessel of use to extend His BLESSEDNESS to them; knowing, when you succeed in achieving God’s intended PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT in doing life and living godly by FAITH, others will be beneficiaries.

The enemy tried to destroy everything about our BELOVED JOB, but couldn’t crush his FAITH, and JOB by his FIGHT of FAITH for his FAITH, was able to come back far better off while declaring in the cause and course of his challenges – “I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES, AND HE IS ABLE TO SAVE ME EVEN IN THIS FIGHT OF FAITH” (paraphrased).

“For I KNOW that my REDEEMER liveth, and that he shall STAND at the latter day upon the earth” Job 19:25.

The ENEMY and COHORTS tried it on Christ too, but he and cohorts eventually and completely lost the battle of the FAITH as it’s written:

“Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the PRINCE of this WORLD cometh, and hath NOTHING in me” John 14:30.

“Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the PRINCES of this WORLD, that come to NOUGHT: 7 but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 which none of the PRINCES of this WORLD knew: for had they known it, they would not have CRUCIFIED the Lord of glory” 1 Corinthians 2:6-8.

And I know for sure and assured certainty, the enemy and cohorts can’t succeed with you except you let him be – give them the needed permission to hurt you and your FAITH especially. Therefore, today, rise up to FIGHT for the GOOD FIGHT of your FAITH in Christ, for your FAITH worth FIGHTING for because your destiny and that of others depends on it; don’t just give up or backslide simply for a momentary lack; because I know you can and will come back better and best of times in life and godliness than you were before if you deal life through FAITH and PATIENCE – Hebrews 6:11-12; for you can win wholly, faithfully, triumphantly, victoriously, graciously and gracefully when your stand insured and assured of your FAITH in God’s unwavering ability and agility in you and through you. That’s all you need now, today and always.

NEVER GIVE THE ENEMY AND COHORTS THE OXYGEN THEY CRAVE TO HURT YOU IN YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

Therefore, don’t sit back or stay aloof, because the enemy and cohorts are envious of your worth and greatness, hence their intent. So, FIGHT! FIGHT!! and FIGHT!!! Don’t give up, or give in, I challenged you today. You must contend daily for your FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. You must RESIST by FAITH the enemy and cohorts steadfastly on daily basis, to keep your statuesque in life and grace. You are the CUSTODIAN of your happiness by FAITH. YOUR FAITH IS WORTH ALL THE FAITH IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should EARNESTLY CONTEND FOR THE FAITH which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ” Jude 1:3-4.

“Be sober, be VIGILANT; because your ADVERSARY THE DEVIL, as a ROARING lion, WALKETH about, SEEKING whom he may DEVOUR: 9 whom RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. 10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you” 1 Peter 5:8-10.

I pray that as you stand by FAITH upon the grace for your JUSTIFICATION and ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus, that God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS may abound with you, in life and grace in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Have a blessed and awesome day.

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.

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 andon 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 is 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.

“. . . 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)

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!

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

We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:

“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 14:16-17.

“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.

There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and it’s EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every places in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“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.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART OF THE SAME; that through DEATH he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.

“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.

Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR US, who can be against us? . . . 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that loved us.” Romans 8:31, 37.

“But thanks be to God, which GIVETH us the VICTORY through our Lord Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“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 5:4-5.

“And they OVERCAME him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” Revelation 12:11.

“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US” Matthew 1:23.

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . . 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS before him, ALL THE DAYS OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“A FAITHFUL MAN SHALL ABOUND WITH BLESSINGS: but he that maketh HASTE to be rich shall NOT BE INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be rich hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.
