STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT – STOP SINNING TO MAKE A LIVING

By Leave a Comment

STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT – STOP SINNING TO MAKE A LIVING: GOD IS WEARY OF YOUR REPENTANCE – STOP IT NOW AND LIVE!
 
“For who shall have PITY upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall BEMOAN thee? or who shall go ASIDE to ask how thou doest? 6 Thou hast FORSAKEN me, saith the Lord, thou art gone BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand AGAINST thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING” Jeremiah 15:5-6.
 
I don’t know if it’s you this is meant for today – but I could hear a strong voice of God saying – shout it loud for someone there to hear, know and be aware that He’s bored of your continuous habit of SINNING and REPENTING – REPENTANCE – in order to make a living; much more, to keep or sustain that success and excellence in an ILLUSION. And a genuine REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ needs to be intentional resulting a transformative change, otherwise it’s a self-harming and destructive scam to no avail.
 
“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.
 
It may looks odds in HUMAN PERSPECTIVE to hear God say or ask you to STOP the act of SINFUL deed and kind, but I do know that God wants WHOSOEVER to have a SORROW FREE LIFE in their BLESSEDNESS of Him, and in all they DO in life and godliness [living godly], as His children in Christ Jesus stead, even as it’s written of God’s BLESSEDNESS:
 
“The BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH no SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.
 
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

I know and understand one thing about God – He gives the enabling gracious power for His own in Christ Jesus stead to GET [ACQUIRE and CREATE] their desired purposeful goal and position [place] of dignity; that is, ensuring and assuring the enduring BLESSEDNESS of God that’s without sorrow and regrets.
 
“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).
 
For the cause of God’s enduring BLESSEDNESS, you need to stop the known sin and sinful living, because God can’t be fool as to mere men foolishness and stupidity in sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation; God does not behold sin or sinful living. He’s angry with the wicked [sinner] everyday. He will ESCHEW any, and it could be soonest my dear, for He ABHORS any sinful doing and He’s WEARY of always giving you another chance and opportunity to make it right again without your intentional willingness to receive His transformative work in your path of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus.
 
“God judgeth the righteous, and God is ANGRY with the WICKED EVERY DAY” Psalms 7:11.
 
Will you now STOP. Has God warned you before? Isn’t it? I mean directly or and through someone else or and in your subconscious thoughts? And You PROMISED NEVER AGAIN. Watch out I say, and PLEASE STOP for your good and others about you. Don’t call it or see it as a MISTAKE or ACCIDENTAL – I say ABSTAIN and FLEW from every of the APPEARANCE of the KNOWN SINFUL HABITS.
 
IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT, ACHIEVE IT AND OR TO GET THERE – THAT POSITION OR POSSESSION! SAVE YOUR NOW AND TOMORROW BY TODAY’S LIFE DOING.
 
Will you PLEASE STOP if this concerns you? GOD LOVES YOU. JESUS LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU and EVEN SO DO I IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.
 
IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT and or GET THERE and or ACHIEVE THAT SUCCESS, EXCELLENCE AND SUCH LIKE.
 
PLEASE STOP. I plead to you today – STOP. Take advantage of God’s LOVE, MERCIES, FORGIVENESS and this TIMELY reminder today, to make a new start for the new you in Christ. HAVE FAITH IN GOD FOR YOUR NEW DAWN IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.
 
Be Blessed today and Evermore as you make a fresh start with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“For who shall have PITY upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall BEMOAN thee? or who shall go ASIDE to ask how thou doest? 6 Thou hast FORSAKEN me, saith the Lord, thou art gone BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand AGAINST thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING” Jeremiah 15:5-6.
 
“Behold, the Lord’s HAND is not SHORTENED, that it CANNOT save; neither his EAR heavy, that it CANNOT hear: 2 but your INIQUITIES have SEPARATED between you and your God, and your SINS have HID his FACE from you, that he will not HEAR. 3 For your HANDS are DEFILED with blood, and your FINGERS with iniquity; your LIPS have spoken lies, your TONGUE hath muttered perverseness . . .” Isaiah 59:1-21.
 
“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. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH YOU, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.
 
“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.
 
“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).
 
“He that TILLETH (CULTIVATES) his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have poverty enough. 20 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 28:19-22.
 
“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a FOUNDATION a stone, a TRIED stone, a PRECIOUS corner stone, a SURE foundation: HE THAT BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16.
 
“Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8 LET THY GARMENTS BE ALWAYS WHITE; AND LET THY HEAD LACK NO OINTMENT. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS

By Leave a Comment

THE GIVING OF – THANKS AND PRAYERS AND REMEMBRANCE – FOR OTHERS: IT’S IN THE KNOWING THAT YOUR – WORK, LABOUR AND PATIENCE – ARE NOT IN VAIN!

There is sufficient cause as Believer’s in Christ Jesus, to remain STEADFAST, UNMOVEABLE and ABOUNDING in the God’s Kingdom cause and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay, in order to avoid labouring for vain, in your path of doing life and living godly in the Lord; and more importantly, as you keep on keeping on, labouring on the gracious and graceful rewarding kingdom purpose for you, as you fulfil the given assignment meaningfully, in Christ Jesus, as it’s written:

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye STEDFAST, UNMOVEABLE, always ABOUNDING in the WORK of the Lord, forasmuch as ye KNOW that your LABOUR is not in VAIN in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

There is the need and cause in Christ Jesus, for us as the reborn of God, to always give THANKS, PRAYERS and REMEMBRANCE on the behalf of others as Apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians. This is important and for the essence of the three gracious and graceful vitality acts of good deeds, as you do life and live godly, in the Lord God and to fulfil purpose in His Kingdom advancement, and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay. These vitality acts are as written in the holy writ:

“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 from the above scripture, in respect to the essence of GIVING THANKS, the act of PRAYERS and the cause for REMEMBRANCE,  we can deduce the fellowing in context:

* The (Your) Work of Faith

* The (Your) Labour of Love

* The (Your) Patience of Hope

You need to give THANKS to God always for you and others about you, as you take each passing day step – to advance the CAUSE of God’s Kingdom Business and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay. It’s a gracious and graceful synergy to keep one focus as God’s ambassador and representative on this side of the heavenly in the midst of the challenging and difficult times.

Except otherwise, you then need to ponder about them and measure yourself in the light of the scripture if you are indeed standing sure on the gracious and graceful Kingdom acts of the Lord God. And wherein otherwise, awake from your slumbering and backsliding state and get back on your feet again while its day when you need to work and walk in the grace that WORTH REMEMBERANCE. And knowing that every grace and speed will be yours again in the Lord.

I pray you have a blessed, gracious and graceful day, today in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SOME SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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).

“For God is not UNJUST (UNRIGHTEOUS, UNFAITHFUL) so as to forget your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in ministering to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to show the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full ASSURANCE of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] SLUGGISH (SLOTHFUL), but [will instead be] IMITATORS (FOLLOWERS) of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 Amplified (Emphasis Mine).

“. . . 12 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 To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, HARDEN not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:7-15.

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 publicly, 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.

“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.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS HIS BEING NATURE!

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy FAITHFULNESS to all generations. 2 For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy FAITHFULNESS shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 3 I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 4 thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 5 And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O Lord: thy FAITHFULNESS also in the congregation of the saints . . .” Psalms 89:1-52.

One thing is certain in life and that is – LIKE BEGAT LIKE. A tree don’t give birth to an animal or mammal. A Lion don’t give birth to a Leopard, nor a Goat give birth to a Sheep even in their proximity of likeness or characteristics.

One need to know full well that we ARE the offspring of God, the sheep of His pasture according to the Scriptures – [(Acts 17:24-29; Psalms 100:3; 1 John 4:17-18); (John 10:34-35; Psalms 82:6; Genesis 3:5)]. It then means that we can live a FAITHFUL life and achieve good successes with God when we dare. The other reason that we can achieve success is because we are the seed of Abraham – who was FAITHFUL and prospered when he dare. The same grace is available to us today when we dare, irrespective of any of our challenges to toward being FAITHFUL and to prosper in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Peter 1:2-4; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29. (See Genesis 13:2; 24:1)]

Our God is FAITHFUL God, that is His NATURE. He’s God of FAITHFULNESS – He lives within Himself – His NATURE. And as such, in achieving life’s goals with God in Christ Jesus stead, it would be great for you to look at the nature of God regarding FAITHFULNESS as found of Him in the Holy writ:

  1. God is FAITHFUL to Himself. 2 Timothy 2:13.
  2. God is FAITHFUL to His Word and promises. Hebrews 10:23.
  3. God is FAITHFUL to His relationship. 1 Corinthians 1:9; Hebrews 8:28-30.
  4. God is FAITHFUL to forgive. 1 John 1:9 (5-10).
  5. God is FAITHFUL in agreement. Deuteronomy 7:9.
  6. God is FAITHFUL to establish and deliver. 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
  7. God is FAITHFUL to accomplish His part in the assignment that He gives to us. 1 Thessalonians 5:24.
  8. God is the/a FAITHFUL creator. 1 Peter 4:19.
  9. . . . and many more of His FAITHFULNESS as in the Holy Writ . . . Kindly read the HOLY BIBLE to know the more.

Considering the above-mentioned nature of God in being FAITHFUL, you can bank on His FAITHFULNESS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS; this will give you the enabling leverage to abound the more, in sharing and partaking of His promises in the REDEMPTION DEED, in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

God Is FAITHFUL: He CALLED Us Into His FELLOWSHIP – To Enhance Our RELATIONSHIP In Him!

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

“Let us HOLD FAST the profession of our faith without wavering; for HE IS FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

We were created for FELLOWSHIP. We lost it in Adam; but thanks to God that in Christ Jesus by our REDEMPTION in Him, we’ve been CALLED, having been FOREKNOWN, PREDESTINATED, JUSTIFIED and GLORIFIED to share in this FELLOWSHIP; and not just for now only but for all eternity as we stand in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Genesis 3:8-11 (1-24); 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30; 1 John 1:1-10].

FELLOWSHIP enhance RELATIONSHIP. Show me an outstanding and stable RELATIONSHIP, I will show you the FELLOWSHIP that has been built over time, behind the scene, to make it LIKEABLE, LOVEABLE and LIVEABLE.

COMMUNION – the Common Union is about being together in common grace of life – [1 Peter 3:7-12 (1-12)]; and that is what makes the relationships of grace, a UNIFIED bond of common knowledge and understanding on same path of life, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS.

You can develop a sense of fellowship (communion) today to enhance your relationship with God, spouse, family and to all mankind in all good and pure consciousness. It’s on such atmosphere you can experience and know with full joy, that – GOD IS FAITHFUL and in all His way. Amen.

“. . . 3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have FELLOWSHIP with us: and truly our FELLOWSHIP is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things write we unto you, THAT YOUR JOY MAY BE FULL. 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have FELLOWSHIP with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have FELLOWSHIP one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin . . .” 1 John 1:1-10.

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST

DO YOU ENVISION TO BE THE BEST: THEN WORK AND WALK AT IT – IT’S GOD’S EXPECTATIONS FROM YOU – BY BEING FAITHFUL!

“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.

Is time to REIGN and RULE in LIFE by the Kingdom settings of God – therefore, STOP the limited mentality of EXISTING and START the enacting the redemption act of LIVING.

“The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine ENEMIES thy footstool. 2 The Lord shall send the ROD of thy strength out of ZION [THE CHURCH]: RULE THOU IN THE MIDST OF THINE ENEMIES. 3 Thy people shall be WILLING [VOLUNTEER] in the DAY OF THY POWER, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the DEW of thy YOUTH” Psalms 110:1-3/Emphasis Mine. [Hebrews 12:22-24].

Life is for LIVING and not for a mere EXISTENCE. You don’t have to eat to live but to live to eat. If you can’t ENVISION to live by the WORD but by a mere anticipated vision seeing or daydreaming or presume imagination, then life will be in a mere existence and not a living worth, as you may expect or intend to see.

Know for certainty – YOU ARE REDEEMED, that is, RE-OWNED by God from the grips of SIN – the result of SICKNESS, POVERTY, and SPIRITUAL DEATH; and is the redemption that gives the right to LIVE and to reign and rule in life in Christ Jesus stead. When you are in a state of mere EXISTENCE and not LIVING, you can’t REIGN in life, but when you live by the ENVISIONED Word, you LIVE and reign in life.

Whatever you do as a profession/career, be FAITHFUL and the BEST in life and grace. Are you a Manson/Bricklayer, Painter, Cook, Tailor/Fashion Designer, Decorator, Singer, Musician, Pastor, Student, Politician, Entrepreneur, Medical Profession, Banker, Lawyer, Civil Servant, Leader of any sort and such like – be the BEST? Whatever your kind of SERVICES to humanity that you are excelling or hoping to excel in BECOMING – the question you need to ponder along is – What do you see you BECOME of it to mankind? As far as you can see – insights and foresight – that is, to ENVISION, so can you BECOME in the kingdom – just as father Abraham of our FAITH in Christ Jesus was spoken of, in the Holy Writ of Genesis 13:14-18 [Galatians 3:6-9; 13-14; 26-29].

In the kingdom, you are as good as to what you ENVISION and determine to EXCEL to become in it – for the GOOD of mankind. It’s not enough to say I am of this career or profession or calling. How FAITHFUL and GOOD are you working with the enabling grace of God in Christ Jesus, in BECOMING in it – that is, to be the BEST for the GOOD of people, I mean beyond just self-centred and self gains. And if do you envision to be the best, then work and walk at it – it’s God’s expectations from you – by being FAITHFUL as He’s FAITHFUL in every way in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

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

“FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH you, who also will do it” 1 Thessalonians 5:24.

“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

“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?” Luke 16:10-12.

It’s not in the good of the Christian FAITH that any should think that they can acclaimed to a FIELD (CAREER/PROFESSION) in life when and while they are POORLY and BADLY providing GOODS and SERVICES to people; and they think they can get AWAY with it in the Kingdom even when it appears it’s a norm among many outside of the FAITH. For example if one say, I am a PAINTER just for the MONETARY GAINS to earn and not necessarily to provide the BEST – GOODS and SERVICES –  to people, such can’t become in the kingdom no matter how hard you work your socks off. It’s for this reason of just GAIN above providing corresponding BEST GOODS and SERVICES that they are many people struggling in the Faith in spite of all gains gotten. For GAIN is not GODLINESS [GODLY LIVING] in the kingdom and in the grace upon which our faith stands in Christ Jesus stead [1 Timothy 6:5-6]; and God will only reward FAITHFUL stewardship to His WORD – [1 Corinthians 4:1-2; Luke 16:10-12].

God wants us to EXCEL in life and grace, He however wants us to provide corresponding goods and services to humanity with DILIGENCE and PRUDENCE; also, to ORDERLY and DECENTLY present it. You can only be able to acclaim to EXCEL and REIGN in life and grace in this act of God, if you can ENVISION it. Therefore, ENVISION TO REIGN; and to REIGN through EXCELLENCY.

Know for sure, that as long as you see men as trees, and not as men, you will hardly bother to be the best in that field. It’s not enough to work to earn a living, envision to see that you provide the good and services that will have eternal and human effect in men because you are in PARTNERSHIP with God.

DON’T JUST LIVE: BE ENVISIONED – HAVE INSIGHT AND FORESIGHT IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING.

I earnestly pray that you will envision to reign in life excellently as you partner with God in the kingdom through the months and years as long as you live, in Jesus name. Amen.

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS

By Leave a Comment

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE!

“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.

We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving to TILL YOUR LAND in grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. And to have and to ensure to be assured of God’s power to get wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish, but an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness which embodiment is for us by wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.

“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT” Proverbs 28:19-20.

For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts  available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates, that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mystery’s of God without being mystical as some do craven after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too.

And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God,  God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.

It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13]. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead.

“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.

For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around it’s to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power –[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, Initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady.

Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12].

I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BEING FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM

By Leave a Comment

BEING FAITHFUL AS FAITHFUL ABRAHAM: ON GOD’S FAITHFULNESS!

“Hearken to me, ye that FOLLOW AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS, ye that seek the Lord: LOOK UNTO THE ROCK whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto ABRAHAM YOUR FATHER, and unto SARAH THAT BARE YOU: for I CALLED him alone, and BLESSED him, and INCREASED him. 3 For the Lord shall COMFORT Zion: he will COMFORT all her waste places; and he will make her WILDERNESS like Eden, and her DESERT like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody” Isaiah 51:1-3.

As I read, ponder and make up this write up, I recall countless times I have sang and still sing the song: “ABRAHAM BLESSINGS ARE MINE”. As seed of Abraham, there’s the need to being FAITHFUL, as FAITHFUL Abraham on God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus.  This I have done for over 50yrs and still counting. And then while working on the cause and course of this month theme, the Lord reminds me again of the Scripture of Galatians 3:9, 29 in a more ASSURED insight and foresight, as written:

“So then THEY which be of FAITH are BLESSED with FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. . . 29 And if ye BE Christ’s, then ARE ye Abraham’s SEED, and HEIRS according to the PROMISE” Galatians 3:9, 29.

How gracious and graceful for one to easily lay claim to be Abraham seed and wants Abraham Blessings; more so, to be God’s friend as Abraham, as we do sing “I AM A FRIEND OF GOD”, even as the Scriptures indicate in James 2:23. Yeah, the Scriptures did say in Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29, that as many of us who ARE of FAITH in Christ Jesus, ARE of Abraham and can share in the Abrahamic BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. This becomes possible because Abraham was ascribed as being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM; this is due to his obedience cum humility in believing God’s word above anything else and being ASSURED of God’s FAITHFULNESS in His promise, to let go of himself and let God be, in all about him doing life and living godly to fulfil God’s divine PURPOSE meaningfully.

“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” James 2:20-24.

Abraham was FAITHFUL toward God from the moment the GOSPEL as said in Galatians 3:8 was PREACHED to him; and I repeat, that the GOSPEL of God in FAITH was PREACHED to him, wherein he BELIEVED and acted upon accordingly, intentionally and unreservedly. He believed God, and in obedience through FAITH, he journeyed with God in FAITHFULNESS until death as in his memoir in the Holy writ of Genesis 12-25 and Hebrews 11:8-12, 17-19. And all who came afterwards in FAITH have shared in his BLESSEDNESS of him with God, in that he was FAITHFUL as ascribed as – FAITHFUL ABRAHAM.

“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” Galatians 3:6-9.

Let us see some FAITHFUL characteristics of FAITHFUL ABRAHAM that we can learn of him and can use as a measure to ascertain in SHARING in his GOSPEL enabling for us today:

  1. He was FAITHFUL to OBEY when he received the call of God without conferring with flesh and blood. He left all, his people inclusive, to cleave to God in faith. How I wish we can learn of him, on how to LEAVE and CLEAVE to a CAUSE – PURPOSE. [Genesis 12; Galatians 1:12-17; Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5 (Make 10:7)].
  2. He was FAITHFUL to depend on God’s provisions when tried and tested by his nephew – Lot – who was in his greediness on business deals and acquisitions with him. He turned his face to God, instead of having a fight on Earthly possessions that takes people lives instead of offering life. [Genesis 13; Luke 12:15; Mark 10:28-3; Philippians 4:13, 19; 2 Corinthians 9:8; 2 Corinthians 3:4-6].
  3. He was FAITHFUL to pay up in FAITH at no pressure or dispute, the TITHE of his earnings. [Genesis 14; Hebrews 7:1-9; Hebrews 3:1-2; Matthew 23:23; Matthew 22:15-22; 2 Corinthians 8-9; Luke 6:38; Luke 8:1-3; Acts 20:32-35; (Proverbs 3:9-10; Malachi 3:10-12; Deuteronomy 26:1-19; Leviticus 27:30-33)].
  4. He was FAITHFUL toward God in Covenant in FAITH, being assured that God will do the needful. [Genesis 15-17; Philippians 1:6; 1 John 5:14-15; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39].
  5. He was FAITHFUL to receive and entertained Angelic visitors unaware and at no question or cost. [Genesis 18; Hebrews 13:1-3; Romans 12:9-21].
  6. He was FAITHFUL to intercede in prayers for His family and Nation in crises and awaiting God’s judgement, peradventure God might show mercy. [Genesis 18/19; Isaiah 59:16; Ezekiel 22:30; Romans 8:26:26-27; Isaiah 53:12; Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25].
  7. He was such FAITHFUL to let GO of his wife when challenge, in order to fulfil PURPOSE in God; and God foreseeing his sincerity save him and wife from such challenging test of his marital relationship. [Genesis 20; Mark 10:28-31; Colossians 4:17; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28-30].
  8. He was FAITHFUL in the midst of the CONFUSION he finds himself by the errors and failures he made in course of time in his decision. And God was there to turn his MESS into a MESSAGE because he was troubled and repentant. [Genesis 21; 2 Thessalonians 3:3; Galatians 1:3-5; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; 1 John 1:9-10].
  9. He was FAITHFUL to let Go of his precious and most treasured gift – his son Isaac to God, at God’s request and demand, without questioning and arguing with God of His intent. [Genesis 22; Hebrews 11:17-19].
  10. He was FAITHFUL even at his loss of his dear wife and in bereavement. And turn his lost for legacy, in that by her burying place, he then set up a foundation stone (the land of Canaan) that earmarked that which was to be FULFILL for posterity in God’s Prophecy in MOSES and the Israelites in years to come. [Genesis 23; (Galatians 3:17-18; Genesis 15:12-14); 2 Corinthians 1:3-11; John 11:1-45; Romans 12:15; James 5:13].
  11. He was FAITHFUL in that he was able to create the needed atmosphere that his son Isaac could get married faithfully. [Genesis 24; 1 Timothy 4:12; Titus 2:1-8; Ephesians 6:1-4; Ephesians 5:21-33; 1 Peter 3:1-12].
  12. He was FAITHFUL to leave an inheritance for his Children as he died in FAITH, fulfilling PURPOSE in FAITHFULNESS. [Genesis 25; Proverbs 13:22].

Abraham have FAITH in God’s FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL; that’s why he was prepared from the moment of receiving the GOSPEL of FAITH, to LET GO of himself of anything, counting and accounting that God will take CARE of him no matter what may happen; thus indicating that whatsoever he let go at God’s request, God knows best as He’s a FAITHFUL God to make it up for him in a far better placement than the one he could have held unto and held back with; and in selfishness and in not Believing and Trusting that GOD IS FAITHFUL to keep to His PROMISE.

Today, we as Abraham seed, who are partakers of his enabling in Christ Jesus, how much can it be said, that we are as him, in being called FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. Let us not be the Believers in Christ Jesus stead, who wants the BLESSEDNESS of Abraham but are not PREPARED of the PROCESS in it; especially when that is the part that can fortified and make us grounded and rooted in FAITH and in the FAITH, in Christ Jesus stead, as we share in his blessing.

ABRAHAM was called a friend of God – James 2:23, because of the attribute of being FAITHFUL ABRAHAM. May we be as he’s toward God in Christ Jesus stead I pray for now and always. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“By FAITH Abraham, when he was CALLED to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, OBEYED; and he went out, NOT KNOWING whither he went. 9 By FAITH he sojourned in THE LAND OF PROMISE, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 for he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 11 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 sea shore innumerable . . . 17 By FAITH Abraham, when he was tried, OFFERED up Isaac: and he that had RECEIVED the promises OFFERED up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: 19 ACCOUNTING that God was ABLE to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he RECEIVED him in a FIGURE” Hebrews 11:8-11, 17-19.

“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” James 2:20-24.

“As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he BELIEVED, even God, who QUICKENETH the dead, and CALLETH those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against HOPE believed in HOPE, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be. 19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: 20 he staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; 21 and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness . . .” Romans 4:17-25.
