About Becoming Whom & What You Believe

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 your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance your quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the WORD. Do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS; and or ACT on SUSPICION; and such like, which is a mere RELIGION. And God is about you having LIFE in His GRACE and not RELIGION. That’s the essence of the Christian Faith – LIFE in the GRACE, which 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 APPROVAL 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 have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being.

“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15.

“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 grievious. 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.

SPIRITUAL FAMINE

By Leave a Comment

SPIRITUAL FAMINE: ARE YOU IN DROUGHT TO THE HEARING OF THE WORD!

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your path in DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.

There’s nothing as dangerous and deadly as FAMINE – be it physical or spiritual. FAMINE is the extreme – scarcity, shortage, drought, unavailability, lack, insufficiency, undersupply, deficiency, impoverishment, shortfalls and such like, of the basic necessity(ies) of life – e.g. FOOD – resulting HUNGER, which consequences are unprecedented fatalities.

In life we know how people suffer and die in horrible condition when there’s physical famine. We don’t have to look far to see the dire Physical hunger and needs in our NEIGHBOURHOOD, COMMUNITIES, SOCIETY, NATION and WORLD today. Hunger as a result of FAMINE is a severe and terrible condition for any to experience. Yet, many in our WORLDS are suffering and dying daily as a result of this monster called – FAMINE.

Unfortunately today, many don’t fully know and realize that the SPIRITUAL FAMINE do exist; and there are implications of its existence in one’s life and in our society and world; and could be the DE FACTO to even the physical condition we do experience today as – INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, SOCIETY and NATION.

A SPIRITUAL FAMINE indicates a NO SPIRITUAL FOOD or sufficient and adequate provision especially, resulting severe hunger – leading to spiritual suffering and or death. A NO FOOD means a NO WORD, which is the FOOD of the SPIRITUAL man – the spirit being. The Man in HUMAN (Hu-Man) is a being, that is, a spirit being (subconscious place), have a soul (conscious mind, reasoning faculty, will) and live in a body (physique, physical structure).

A NO WORD for man’s being means a NO FAITH. And a NO FAITH is consequential; for FAITH comes by the HEARING of The WORD of God – (Romans 10:17, which means with NO WORD, then NO FAITH, and NO FAITH – one can’t PLEASE God – (Hebrews 11:6). To live a life wherein God is not PLEASE with you or rather you can’t PLEASE God has consequences – (Romans 14:23). And such consequences could be dire and results to fatalities just as physical hunger does – (Amos 8:11-14; Genesis 41-47).

One of such consequence is to have no MEANINGFUL nourishment and fulfillment in LIFE and GODLY LIVING with God as a result of NO FELLOWSHIP to enhance one’s RELATIONSHIP with GOD. It takes FAITH to FELLOWSHIP with God. For we are CALLED to FELLOWSHIP with God in order to ENHANCE our RELATIONSHIP with Him, for therein is the PATH of LIFE – (1 Corinthians 1:9/Psalms 16:11; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11).

When one is IMPOVERISHED and MALNOURISHED within one’s being, there’s no amount of WEALTH and PHYSICAL POSSESSION that can FULLFIL such emptiness within – (Luke 12:15). And there’s no scientific or medical acts as SCAN, XRAY, STETHOSCOPE, CHEMOTHERAPY and such likes that can and will be able to detect the essence of the human spirit that makes man a being. For God have put in a default of ETERNITY in the human spirit with which in His infinite nature only Him can sense every being. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Amplified; Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4).

Therefore, SPIRITUAL FAMINE as to the PHYSICAL FAMINE have consequences. And with RESOLVED for an ANSWER to SPIRITUAL FAMINE, the PHYSICAL FAMINE can be RESOLVED effortless in grace – (2 Chronicles 7:12-15). For GOD will ensure that FAMINE of ALL SORTS are RESOLVED for the good of all – (Psalms 33:18-20; Psalms 37:18-19; Genesis 26:1-14; Psalms 105:16-24/Genesis 41-47.

It’s time to RESOLVED to give yourself to FEED HEALTHILY on the WORD of God, firstly on PERSONAL level and other platforms in ONLINE opportunities, in order to avoid FAMINE. More so, to triumphantly thrive and be meaningfully fulfilled over any form of FAMINE that may tends to affect you in LIFE, GRACE and GODLY LIVING – (Job 23:12; 2 Timothy 2:15; 2 Timothy 4:14-17; Matthew 22:29; Jeremiah 15:16; Psalms 1:1-3).

Don’t live in SPIRITUAL DROUGHT – it will short circuit your PATH IN LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

THE SPIRITUAL IMPACT OF THE FAMINE OF HEARING THE WORD IS ENORMOUS AND INDESCRIBABLE. Therefore, with many facing ENORMOUS life challenges and circumstances, which are as a result of THE FAMINE OF THE HEARING OF THE WORD, there is the need to be built up in FAITH; and the needs to kick-start your own avenue on personal level to THE HEARING OF THE WORD in order to  STEADFASTLY RESIST IN THE FAITH, the FEAR of the monster that has befallen or intending, long before it gets to your vicinity – (1 Peter 5:8-11; Romans 10:17; 2 Timothy 1:7; Amos 8:11-14).

It’s time to feed HEALTHILY your spirit and well-being with the living WORD in order to STEADFASTLY RESIST IN FAITH, the fear of the monster that has gripped and crippled the world health and economy to a standstill and downwards curve – (1 Peter 5:8-11).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Behold, the DAYS come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a FAMINE in the land, not a FAMINE of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING THE WORDS OF THE LORD: 12 and they shall WANDER from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall RUN to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it. 13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men FAINT FOR THIRST. 14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again” Amos 8:11-14.

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

“Neither have I gone back from the COMMANDMENT of his lips; I have ESTEEMED THE WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my NECESSARY FOOD” Job 23:12.

“Wherewithal shall a young man CLEANSE his way? by TAKING HEED thereto ACCORDING to THY WORD . . . 105 Thy Word is a LAMP unto my FEET, and a LIGHT unto my PATH . . .130 The ENTRANCE of THY WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the SIMPLE” Psalms 119:9, 105, 130.

WISDOM NUGGETS: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

WISDOM NUGGETS: YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD!

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) in Christ Jesus stead, you are only deceiving yourself. And self-deception is the worst ENEMY and COHORTS to one’s self. Hence, Jesus said – it’s about living a WHOLESOME life in Him. Don’t be deceived. God is NOT a man – You can’t BUY or BRIBE Him to get through in life and grace.

Sometimes people or some Church folks think they can outsmart God in their religion or religious acts. I do really wonder! But why? Probably their thinking is this: Paying up TITHE/TITHING and OFFERING, giving a SPECIAL DONATION to denominational Church/Churches in kind/cash; or giving a special donation towards CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES and many more such likes, that makes them win God’s heart’s or attention and gives them automatic right or qualifies them into God’s presence or have first class ANSWERS to PRAYERS and or REDEMPTION benefits. Really? I don’t think so Scripturally.

“God is NOT a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it” Numbers 23:19-20.

Am SORRY to say to any that the Kingdom of God has NO short cut access or BRIBERY windows for such self-consumed or consummated intent. For God can’t be DECEIVED or MOCKED at all, for in Him, you REAP on HOW and WHAT you sow – (Galatians 6:6-8). And it’s simply because there are more important, primary or heavier or weightier matters. It’s called and it’s about LIVING the life of – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS in cause of the OTHER obedience in TITHE/TITHING as well.

Jesus said, while you OUGHT TO, that is, to pay up your TITHE/TITHING and give towards your CHARITY/CHARITABLE CAUSES, you CAN’T NEGLECT to live WITHOUT the WEIGHTIER matters of life as to – JUSTICE, MERCY and FAITH/FAITHFULNESS.

Therefore, both ends of the coin are not only ESSENTIALS but are CREDENTIALS to avert WOES into one’s LIFE and LIVELIHOOD. This is the VERDICT of the Lord Jesus Christ not of me or any there you may have grudge and resentment against. You then – THINK.

YOU NEED TO PONDER And MEDITATE. DON’T DECEIVE YOURSELF. It’s WISDOM NUGGETS to your life TODAY and your fulfillment TOMORROW.

TITHE/TITHING IT’S NOT ENOUGH – Until You LIVE The LIFE of – JUSTICE, MERCY AND FAITH (FAITHFULNESS) IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. FOR YOU CAN’T BRIBE, BUY AND OUTSMART GOD.

“Woe to you, [self-righteous] SCRIBES and PHARISEES, HYPOCRITES! For you give a TENTH (TITHE) of your mint and dill and cumin [focusing on MINOR matters], and have neglected the WEIGHTIER [more important moral and spiritual] provisions of the Law: JUSTICE and MERCY and FAITH [FAITHFULNESS]; but THESE are the [primary] things you OUGHT to have done WITHOUT NEGLECTING the others” Matthew 23:23 (Amplified).

“Then the PHARISEES went and conspired together plotting how to trap Him by [distorting] what He said. 16 They sent their disciples to Him, along with the HERODIANS, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are sincere and that You teach the way of God truthfully, without concerning Yourself about [what] anyone [thinks or says of Your teachings]; for You are impartial and do not seek anyone’s favor [and You treat all people alike, regardless of status]. 17 Tell us then, what do You think? Is it permissible [according to Jewish law and tradition] to PAY a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius [a day’s wage]. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “[The Emperor Tiberius] Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “THEN PAY TO CAESAR THE THINGS THAT ARE CAESAR’S; AND TO GOD THE THINGS THAT ARE GOD’S.” 22 When they heard this, they were caught off guard, and they left Him and went away” Matthew 22:15-22 (Amplified).

KINGDOM ESSENTIALS: THEY ARE THE GRACIOUS AND GRACEFUL ACTS OF DOING LIFE AND LIVING GODLY!

The cause For THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE has always been of THREE gracious and graceful KINGDOM ESSENTIALS and ACTS of doing life and living godly, in the Lord Christ Jesus.

These essentials and acts of doing life and living godly are:

* The WORK of FAITH

* The LABOUR of LOVE

* The PATIENCE of HOPE

I would love you to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scriptures if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful ESSENTIALS and ACTS of the Lord God – that WORTH remembering. If otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day and called today. And every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today. Amen.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 Emphasis Mine.

“And now abideth FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is Love” 1 Corinthians 13:13 Emphasis Mine.

“BEWARE (TAKE HEED), brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF in departing from the living God; 13 but exhort one another daily, while it is called “TODAY,” lest any of you be HARDENED through the DECEITFULNESS of sin. 14 For we have become PARTAKERS of Christ if we hold the beginning of our CONFIDENCE steadfast to the end, 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not HARDEN your HEARTS as in the REBELLION (PROVOCATION)” Hebrews 3:12-15.

WISDOM NUGGETS – The FAITH That WORKS

WISDOM NUGGETS – The FAITH That WORKS: It PLEASES God through DILIGENCE!

“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 FAITH that WORKS, that is, productive and results oriented, is the FAITH that Is expressed through DILIGENCE. For diligence PLEASE God, and thus it locates and positions one effortlessly with kings – nobility, dignity and honor instead of the obscured, unproductive and mean men.

“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.

And when you PLEASE God by your diligent ways, He makes the ENEMY and COHORTS to be at PEACE with you. What a better way to keep your enemy and cohorts at bay effortless in LIFE and GRACE, in order to keep you advancing the Kingdom Causes of our Good.

And DILIGENCE is to be steadfast, steadily steady, earnestly earnest , smartly smart, energetic effort and consistently consistence onto the set and or given focus; and being SMART – effectual and efficient to accomplish the desired intent.

Know full well that life in grace is not by HARDWORKING, it’s by being SMARTWORKING.

The FAITH That WORKS – PLEASES God through DILIGENCE. And PLEASING God REWARDS Through DILIGENCE.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4.

FAITH without WORKS is DEAD been ALONE. Faith not ACTIONED is dead indeed.  Meaning FAITH WORKING without the action of LOVE – which is the DEFAULT can’t function healthily and lacks VITALITY and the TENDER valued power with God.

FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you believe on God’s word accordingly. So the act of faith directly or indirectly in life and charitable causes are as authentic to and by God in His word, only through LOVE.

It’s either your FAITH is WORKING as Scripturally enjoined by LOVE, or you are living by FATE and FAKE knowingly and or unknowingly.

Therefore set your priority with God right; for your FAITH to WORK the WORKS of life and grace EFFECTUALLY, LOVE is INEVITABLE in every way. Meaning, in order to inflame and ablaze your FAITH to GLOW in grace and life, the default of LOVE must be ensured to be actively engaged.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, BUT FAITH WORKING THROUGH LOVE” Galatians 5:6 (NKJV).

“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father JUSTIFIED BY WORKS, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 SEEST THOU HOW FAITH WROUGHT WITH HIS WORKS, AND BY WORKS WAS FAITH MADE PERFECT? 23 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. 24 YE SEE THEN HOW THAT BY WORKS A MAN IS JUSTIFIED, AND NOT BY FAITH ONLY. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, SO FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:20-26.
