BELIEVE Before You ACT: FAITH Is ACTING ACCORDINGLY On What You BELIEVE Of God’s WORD!
 
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED (SET APART)” Acts 20:32.
 
You need to BUILD up your life on the WORD of God in order to enhance the quality of life by God, rather than by the quality built outside the sphere of God’s WORD. It’s very important that you do not build your life on such qualities of life that makes you – ACT on PRESUMPTION – leading to misconceptions; and or ACT in a MAKE-BELIEVE; and or ACT on SENTIMENTS – leading to prejudice and dissimulation; and or ACT on SUSPICION – leading to misinformation and disinformation; and such like, which is a mere state of RELIGION – leading to sectarianism and religious blindfold. Know full well that God intent daily it’s about you having LIFE in the fulness, in His GRACE and not RELIGION and religious dogmas and blindfold. For the cause of experiencing the good and goodness of God is the reason your faith should be built on the essence of the ‘Word of Faith’ in God – where LIFE in the GRACE, is of the person of Christ Jesus. Amen.
 
“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
 
You are either BUILDING on God’s APPROVALS for you or on Men’s APPLAUDS for you, or on self made ASSERTIONS. Know in essence again that FAITH in God comes by HEARING, and the HEARING by the WORD of God. You can either have FAITH in the WORD of God, to enable you TRIUMPH and OVERCOME the challenges in your WORLDS of doing LIFE and GRACE, or you can have FATE in your make-believe to suit your being and live with the side effects it brings.
 
“Study to shew thyself APPROVED unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing [applying] the word of truth” 2 Timothy 2:15/Emphasis mine.
 
“Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know” Acts 2:22.
 
FAITH is only OPERATIVE if you BELIEVE in the WORD accordingly. I wants you to be reminded and to know full well, that BELIEVE is not FAITH. BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE. Hence a mere ACTING without a BELIEVE on the WORD in reference to your worlds of needs and circumstances, is acting on a fool paradise of presumption and it’s full of emptiness. That’s why the CHANGES you so much DESIRED, to enable you THRIVE instead of being a SURVIVAL as you’ve crave, pursue and seek to obtain ANSWERS may not have worked out as duly expected, in your LIFE and GRACE journeys.
Life with God is not by POWER and MIGHT and SELF-INDULGENCE but by God’s Spirit which is a consequence of God’s WORD truly BELIEVED upon – Romans 14:17; Zachariah 4:6. Therefore BELIEVE in God and on His WORD, to enable you ACT accordingly in order to rightly RECEIVE from Him.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That WHOSOEVER shall say unto THIS mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT in his HEART, but shall BELIEVE that those things which he SAITH shall come to pass; he shall have WHATSOEVER he SAITH. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall have them” Mark 11:22-24.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
 
“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.
 
“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.
 
“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.
 
“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders OBTAINED a good report. 3 Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6.
 
“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the victory that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.
 
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: BUT THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 (Hebrews 10:38; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11).
 
“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN” Romans 14:23.

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR WITH GRACIOUS WORDS

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED OUT OF HIS MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:22/Emphasis Mine.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And when Jesus departed thence, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have MERCY on us. 28 And when he was come into the house, THE BLIND MEN came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, BELIEVE YE THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? They said unto him, YEA, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their EYES WERE OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“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. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“WE HAVE ALSO A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a DARK PLACE, until THE DAY DAWN, and THE DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For THE PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“Now THANKS be to God who ALWAYS LEADS [CAUSES] us in TRIUMPH in Christ, and through us DIFFUSES [SPREADS, REVEALS] THE FRAGRANCE of His KNOWLEDGE in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14/NKJV.

“You CROWN THE YEAR with Your GOODNESS, and Your paths drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the pastures of the wilderness, and the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered with grain; they SHOUT for JOY, they also SING” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV.

“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.

He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longingRE which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11/Amplified

THE EFFECTIVE FAITH THAT WORKS

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON YOUR BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD!

Faith in the WORD or the sayings of God makes all the difference. FAITH is acting correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the sayings of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and there’s no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the Father God, any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit, and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION or CULTURE. It’s not an assumption or presumption, it’s the ACTING on trust, on God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubts and disbelief.

If you BELIEVE and don’t ACT on it, you’ve not endorsed FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope as it’s written: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written:  “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to please (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Emphasis mine).

Further Scriptural Read – Hebrews 11:1-3; Habakkuk 2:4; 2 Corinthians 5:7; Romans 14:23; Proverbs 4:20-23; 1 Corinthians 13.

BELIEVE – HAVE FAITH IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

BELIEVE – HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A NO WORD, MEANS A NO FAITH – AND A NO PLEASING OF GOD!

“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 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 12:1-3.

We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facets of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6/AMP.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. Which then indicates that a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, and a NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of a NO FAITH is emptiness, noise making, fooolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.

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

Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in everyway.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.

I plead to you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“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.

“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 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.

“. . . 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, 22-24.

“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.

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 grievous. 4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“But what saith it? THE WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy MOUTH the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine HEART that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the MOUTH CONFESSION is made unto salvation . . . 17 So then FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, and HEARING by THE WORD of God” Romans 10:8-10, 17.

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

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is IMPOSSIBLE, but not with God: for with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Mark 10:27.

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of tREhings 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.

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR 2024

SPEAKING FORTH WHOLLY INTO YOUR YEAR 2024: I BELIEVE AND THEREFORE SPEAK FORTH!

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

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

I have a simple but great thoughtful questions before you at this YEAR 2024 with the dawn entrance month January. Take time to thoughtfully PONDERING if any or more of these concerns you:

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

** Do you actually BELIEVE what you are DECLARING and SAYING and ANNOUNCING and PROCLAIMING and CONFESSING to and possibly might have DECLARED about yourself in your YEAR 2024 BLUEPRINT?

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

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

** Are you living in the light of the WORD wherein God had set you free in Christ Jesus or under the taskmaster of men that do god to you thereby enslaving you in their vicious tutelage of extortion and have subjected you to themselves instead of the word of God?

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

But if you can actually BELIEVE in your YEAR 2024 BLUE PRINT set goals [Plan, Purpose and Pursuit], then go FORTH to keep on keeping on, by SPEAKING IT FORTH and DECLARING IT FORTH into reality as you DILIGENTLY follow suit with the resource of grace that’s available for your PRUDENCE management as may be applicable: TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL AND PEOPLE; you will discover and come to the realisation overtime, that, it will bring about your desires and fulfilment into reality; For when your spirit-Heart BELIEVES and MOUTH declaration AGREES in the same spirit of grace through DILIGENCE, REALITY and FRUITION is bound to BE in Christ Jesus on your behalf. Hebrews 11:6, Proverbs 22:29; Habakkuk 2:1-4.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

They said unto him, YEA, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their EYES WERE OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31.

“Let us HOLD FAST THE PROFESSION OF OUR FAITH without WAVERING; for he is FAITHFUL that promised” Hebrews 10:23.

“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. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“WE HAVE ALSO A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a DARK PLACE, until THE DAY DAWN, and THE DAY STAR arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY of the scripture is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For THE PROPHECY came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were MOVED by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”” Exodus 15:1-2, 20-21.

“Beware lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN deceit, after the TRADITION of men, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are COMPLETE in him, which is the head of all PRINCIPALITY and POWER: 11 in whom also ye are CIRCUMCISED with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the CIRCUMCISION of Christ: 12 BURIED with him in baptism, wherein also ye ARE risen with him through the faith of the OPERATION of God, who hath raised him from the dead. 13 And you, being DEAD in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he QUICKENED together with him, having FORGIVEN you all trespasses; 14 BLOTTING OUT THE HANDWRITING OF ORDINANCES that was AGAINST us, which was CONTRARY to us, and took it out of the way, NAILING it to his cross; 15 and HAVING SPOILED PRINCIPALITIES AND POWERS, HE MADE A SHEW OF THEM OPENLY, TRIUMPHING OVER THEM IN IT” Colossians 2:8-15.

“So we have the PROPHETIC WORD made MORE CERTAIN [ASSURED]. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a LAMP SHINING in a DARK PLACE, until the DAY DAWNS and light breaks through the GLOOM and the MORNING STAR ARISES in your hearts. 20 But understand this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of or comes from ONE’S OWN [PERSONAL OR SPECIAL] interpretation, 21 for no prophecy was ever MADE by an act of human will, but men MOVED by the Holy Spirit SPOKE from God” 2 Peter 1:19-21/Amplified.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: FOR A NO WORD, MEANS A NO FAITH – AND A NO PLEASING OF GOD!

“. . . 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, that ye may PROVE what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God. 3 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 12:1-3.

We live in the days of divergence INFORMATION. And information generates what we BELIEVE and our BELIEVING trajectory, which invariably affects either our FAITH toward God or create in us the attitude of FATE on other things. And INFORMATION is available in almost every facets of our ways of doing life for various reasons; and majority of the time, the information that are there may lure people away from the TRUTH for the intended purpose for them not to HAVE FAITH IN GOD. And unfortunately, that’s the reason why the INFORMATION that are available in some sources are not TRANSFORMING and TRANSFORMATIVE for the good of doing life to lead one to godly living – toward God and FAITH in our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Suffice to know that FAITH is not BELIEVE and BELIEVE is not FAITH though sometimes we use them interchangeably which doesn’t make spiritual scriptural context sense. FAITH is ACTIVE while BELIEVE is PASSIVE. And FAITH is acting correspondingly or accordingly on what you BELIEVE of and on God’s WORD and SAYINGS in SCRIPTURAL context.

FAITH comes by the HEARING and CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD. Faith does not come by HAVING HEARD, for FAITH is NOW and it’s ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. It thus means if FAITH can COME or be activated by the CONTINUOUS HEARING of God’s WORD, it means also FAITH can GO or be inactive due to the lack of the REFRESHING of The WORD. Which then indicates that a NO WORD, means a NO FAITH, and a NO PLEASING OF GOD – for FAITH PLEASES God Hebrews 11:6; and the consequence of a NO FAITH is emptiness, noise making, foolishness, stupidity, ignorance and God kept at a distance, for God can’t dwell outside His WORD.

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

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to [walk with God and] PLEASE Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] BELIEVE that God exists and that He REWARDS those who [EARNESTLY and DILIGENTLY] seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 Amplified.

Therefore, do yourself a FAVOUR and get back into the CONTINUOUS MOOD and REALM of the HEARING of The WORD of God and not in stories or comments or analogy or make-believe of men and more, about the WORD. Your happiness and joy is within your reach. Do something about you, to ensure your FAITH works for your goodness, graciousness and gracefulness in every way.

“As he spake these words, many BELIEVED on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which BELIEVED on him, If ye CONTINUE IN MY WORD, then are ye MY DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall make you FREE” John 8:30-32.

I plead to you today and even now to HAVE FAITH IN GOD, for He’s GOOD and FAITHFUL, TRUE and SURE to all His PROMISES, toward our path in doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

“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.

“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 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.

“. . . 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, 22-24.

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY!

FOR YOU ARE GIVEN THE MEASURE OF FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS – DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY TO BECOME IN LIFE AND GRACE.

God in His grace in Christ Jesus, has ACCORDINGLY dealt to you THE MEASURE of FAITH to enable you BECOME in Him. By the article “THE” measure and not “A” measure as used in Romans 12:3 and Ephesians 4:7 thus indicates the leverage. In other words, THE measure of FAITH you need to DEAL measurably with the MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES you are facing right now or later is readily within you. Dare to BELIEVE and act on it accordingly and then BECOME what you BELIEVE. Faith is ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. BELIEVE is Passive and it’s to conceive the WORD for FAITH to act upon. FAITH then is acting on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD accordingly and correspondingly.

Therefore, stop seeking for the MIRACLE that is already within your reach. For you’ve been GIVEN the enabling GRACE to BECOME ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ Jesus. Amen.

BE BLESSED.

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, HAVE MERCY ON US.  28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.  29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” Matthew 9:27-29.

“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.

“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. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13.

“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, AND GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and UNTO ALL THE PLACES nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I HAVE SET THE LAND BEFORE YOU: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8.

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH places PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5.

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE EFFECTUAL FAITH: THE FAITH THAT WORKS – IS BY ACTING CORRESPONDINGLY ON YOUR BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD!

Faith in the WORD or the sayings of God makes all the difference. FAITH is acting correspondingly on your BELIEVE on and in the WORD – the sayings of God. FAITH is not BELIEVE and there’s no FAITH at work until you ACT on that which you BELIEVE of God. Meaning NO ACTING ON THE WORD, NO FAITH, hence NO RESULTS!

Faith is the only legal and vital tender to obtain from the Father God, any other process or means is illegal, counterfeit and criminal. FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE or CREED or DOGMAS or PHILOSOPHY or TRADITION or CULTURE. It’s not an assumption or presumption, it’s the ACTING on trust, on God’s Word or sayings without an iota of doubts and disbelief.

If you BELIEVE and don’t ACT on it, you’ve not endorse FAITH. If you confess or declare as religion enjoins us and you don’t act accordingly, there’s no faith and you receive not from God. You may receive from men, but not from God.

The FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope. Hence communicate your faith in hope as it’s written: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1.

Also, the FAITH that WORKS and that’s effectual – EFFECTIVE and EFFICIENT – is the faith communicated in hope through love as it’s written:  “. . . But faith which works by love” Galatians 5:6.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

“But without FAITH (acting on what you believe of God’s WORD) it is impossible to please (receive answers from) Him (God), for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:6 (Emphasis mine).

BELIEVE Before You ACT

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.
