ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH: ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW ASSURED DAY IS COME!
 
“Therefore, brethren, we ARE debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye LIVE after the FLESH, ye shall DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.
 
Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory and leverage path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE and MINISTRY in all about God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning him.
 
King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY and LIFE of Prophet Isaiah in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect of King Uzziah presence was such, that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet by all merits to be and in the making, could not actualised the essence, and to move FORWARD – in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five of his life. But as soon as the [his] FLESH – king Uzziah – died [gives way] in Chapter Six of his life, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory leverage; and that putting to death of the flesh [king Uzziah] in his path of becoming of God’s purpose in him, changed his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – and that freedom from the flesh held bondage, enables him to BECOME that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.
 
“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of UNCLEAN lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.
 
Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the INFLUENCER called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR, your actualisation and realisation will be truncated. Sometimes, it could be personality’s and individual’s about you in your life, whose PRESENCE are more of the LOTS OF PROBLEMS that you must intentionally and pragmatically distance yourself from in order to stay focused and be fulfilled with God in life and grace. Until Abraham separated himself from LOT his NEPHEW, Lot was a full loads of problems to him [Genesis 13]. When Lot was at a distance, he became more beneficial to Lot from a distance than having him there and abouts with him in closed proximity. And Abraham thereafter, was able become and actualised the full intent of God in him, and for him and through him in humanity, as to be the father of faith and nations, and by whom all nations of the earth will be blessed of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
We must all know that it’s very difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while there’s an influencer – the FLESH, that abounds in us, with us and working and walking about us day to day. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God for any reason as to doing life and living in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin” Romans 3:20.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).
 
God wants you to experience His leverage in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must intentionally and pragmatically have a look as Prophet Isaiah did, in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
BELOVED FRIEND, ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH – ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.
 
“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.
 
“Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT – AND BY THE WORD!
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall NOT FULFIL the LUST of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that ARE Christ’s have CRUCIFIED [PUT TO DEATH] the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:
 
“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.
 
And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go of our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL [EQUIPMENT/DEVICE] and EFFORT [Physical and or Mental Exertion] may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the path of PLEASING of God.
 
“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.
 
Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, the question and examination for us is to ask and take on is if the efforts we are exerting to accomplish anything whatever are of – the GOOD, the ACCEPTABLE and the PERFECT WILL of God as enjoined in the scripture of Romans 12:1-2? And we mustn’t forget that God’s WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. And while God must have EXALTED and LIFTED UP His WORD and His NAME, He has however MAGNIFIED His WORD ABOVE His NAME in order to ensure, assure and authenticate the immutability of His person and character in His grace, in the faith for us, and in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; FOR YOU HAVE EXALTED ABOVE ALL ELSE YOUR NAME AND YOUR WORD AND YOU HAVE MAGNIFIED YOUR WORD ABOVE ALL YOUR NAME!” Psalms 138:2/Amplified Classic Edition.
 
“Wherein God, WILLING more abundantly to SHEW unto the HEIRS of promise the IMMUTABILITY of His counsel, CONFIRMED it by an oath: 18 that by TWO IMMUTABLE THINGS [HIS WORD AND HIS NAME], in which it was IMPOSSIBLE for God to lie, we might have a STRONG CONSOLATION, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: 19 which HOPE we have as an ANCHOR of the soul, both SURE and STEDFAST, and which ENTERETH into that within the veil; 20 whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, MADE an HIGH PRIEST for EVER after the order of Melchisedec” Hebrews 6:17-20.
 
And with the context of His IMMUTABILITY, we can then ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God in the context of Hebrews 11:6 and Romans 12:1-2.
 
Therefore, what then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask. HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW but not limited:
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:
 
Spend your most precious time on what God IS and has BECOME to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God, while Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS applause. [Philemon 1:6; Jeremiah 29:11; Philemon 1:6].
The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on the enemy and cohorts presence irrespective, if you think you have one in labelled; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God’s presence as primarily as in His WORD on any context [Matthew 6:33; Psalms 16:11]. And God in His own terms, will makes the enemy and cohorts to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you [Proverbs 16:7].
 
DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? DON’T YOU WANT GOD TO BE IN CHARGE TO FIGHT YOUR FAITH OF FAITH INSTEAD OF YOU? [1 Timothy 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; Joshua 5:13-15].
 
As for me, because I Do LOVE and have faith in trust of God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS, I won’t burn my time on the enemy and cohorts; instead, I burn my all PLEASING God in spirit and in truth. That’s the realm of living in an effortless position, and to keep one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus, even in the midst of diverse challenges and obstacles in cause of living under the heavens in the earth.
 
Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.
 
This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matter that confronts me; and that’s what I want you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobia when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.
 
THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:
 
“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.
 
To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.
 
Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:
1. Hearing (Hear)
2. Seeing (See)
3. Smelling (Smell)
4. Tasting (Taste)
5. Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)
 
People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.
 
They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.
 
And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:
 
EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;
 
ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost of his birthright to of his brother – JACOB;
 
King SAUL of losing his throne towards harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;
 
Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;
 
King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE who touched the ARK to help carry it against divine process;
 
Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.
 
HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:
 
The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.
 
The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.
 
Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.
Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.
 
Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.
 
If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).
 
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
 
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.
 
“When a man’s ways PLEASE the Lord, he maketh even his ENEMIES to be at PEACE with him” Proverbs 16:7.
 
“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.
 
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.
 
“. . . 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.
 
“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

LIFE CHOICES – DEALING WITH THE TRINITY WITHIN – THE I, ME, MYSELF

By Leave a Comment

LIFE CHOICES – DEALING WITH THE TRINITY WITHIN – THE I, ME, MYSELF: THE THREE ENEMIES THAT HINDERS DESIRED ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Everyone craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thought. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

The THREE ENEMIES are the – I, ME, MYSELF – that’s within the humans, which is of the flesh [fleshy] and that needs to be urgently brought down and under subjection [control, discipline] if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead for His blessedness. And these three enemies within of the I, Me and Myself, are as a result and consequence of these factors:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three factors are ENEMIES of the faith and the makeup of the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF, which otherwise are aligned as the ME, ME and ME; and these enemies that have enveloped and engrossed humanity brings about the self-centeredness and self-gratifications attitudes and mannerisms in all respect that we experience day to day about us – directly or and indirectly.

However, life is about CHOICE and CHOICES for all, and it’s up to anyone to being mindfulness, and if otherwise, to not being mindfulness, in respect to the three enemies that are elements of self-destruction; suffice to know that one’s choice or choices can make and unmake the worlds of success, fulfilment and excellence, in doing LIFE and living in GODLINESS.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

There’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit, as the chief inward and outward trajectory examiner to indicate any of the signs and presence of the I, ME, MYSELF elements that can result to – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, by the illuminating light of the WORD of God.

“Your WORD is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of Your WORDS gives LIGHT; it gives understanding to the simple” Psalms 119:105, 130/NKJV.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean, to subjugate the five SENSES [which is of what you – see, hear, taste, smell and touch/feel], and of the trinity you of the I, ME, and MYSELF – to the lead and influence of the Holy Spirit, to guide and guard you, under the authority and power of the WORD of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way for you to live in DOMINION, be A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, be an OVERCOMER, be TRIUMPHANT and VICTORIOUS, in doing life and living godly, in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE is an indicator of your CHARACTER. And your CHARACTER is an indicator of your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence, a no-GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and the SUSTAINABILITY of your person and personality, in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

Herein are some common sayings by others and the scriptural sayings too, that are worth pondering – [meditating and thinking] – about and through, in cause of your doing life and living godly,, in respect to time and in matters of your ATTITUDE [CHARACTER and INTEGRITY]:

“People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

“Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

 “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us on the WORD of God in redemption” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham

Therefore I say to you my friend, make a wise choice today, for – YOUR ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE – as you do life and live godly in a daily onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 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” Romans 12:1-2.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

Further Scriptural Reading: Matthew 4:1-11/Luke 4:1-13; Genesis 3:1-7; 1 Corinthians 2:11-16; Romans 8:1-2, 5-16; Galatians 5:24-25; 1 Peter 5:8-9.

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH: ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW ASSURED DAY IS COME!

“Therefore, brethren, we ARE debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye LIVE after the FLESH, ye shall DIE: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory and leverage path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE and MINISTRY in all about God’s BLESSEDNESS concerning him.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY and LIFE of Prophet Isaiah in the cause and course of doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect of  King Uzziah presence was such, that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet by all merits to be and in the making, could not actualised the essence, and to move FORWARD – in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five  of his life. But as soon as the [his] FLESH – king Uzziah – died [gives way] in Chapter Six of his life, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory leverage; and that putting to death of the flesh [king Uzziah] in his path of becoming of God’s purpose in him, changed his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – and that freedom from the flesh held bondage, enables him to BECOME that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is FULL OF HIS GLORY. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of UNCLEAN lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. Sometimes, it could be personality’s and individual’s about you in your life, whose PRESENCE are more of the lots of problems that  you must intentionally and pragmatically distance yourself from in order to stay focused and be fulfilled with God in life and grace. Until Abraham separated himself from Lot his nephew, Lot was a full loads of problems to him [Genesis 13]. He was more beneficial to Lot from a distance than having  him thereabouts with him if he must become the full intent of God in him for him and through him in humanity as to be the father of faith and by whom all nations of the earth will be blessed of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

We must all know that it’s very difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while there’s an influencer – the FLESH, that abounds in us, with us and working and walking about us day to day. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God for any reason as to doing life and living in  Christ Jesus stead.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the KNOWLEDGE of sin” Romans 3:20.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

God wants you to experience His leverage inn an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory of His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must intentionally and pragmatically have a look as Prophet Isaiah did, in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BELOVED FRIEND, ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT TO DEATH – THE FLESH – ENSURE YOU DO THIS BEFORE YOUR BED TIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME IN GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH [THE FIVE SENSES]: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead. However, it’s operations in the Believer’s life, depends on the individual to make it happen within the pure context of the given redemption rights and privileges, and not in anywhere irrespective.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the FLESH – FIVE SENSES [SEE, HEAR, TASTE, SMELL, TOUCH/FEEL]. Otherwise, there will be wars and infighting within oneself because of the wanting desire that’s born through the cravings of a lustful spirit that’s not ruled, governed, controlled and lead by the TRIUMPH Spirit of dominion.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“From whence come WARS and FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your MEMBERS? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may CONSUME it upon your LUSTS” James 4:1-3.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, but by the by the WORD of God, through our human spirit [Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7]. This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise known and called a supernatural being, because the human spirit is empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you – that indicates that the Super Spirit of God meets up with the natural [human] spirit of man – making the SUPERNATURAL.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to reach out to God, to be in God or to be with God, in the Kingdom cause, in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God. God operates through His WORD and not in a vacuum, hence you can’t do astral travel or astral projection with God as some may – for in doing so, you only contact demons by such sphere not the God of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus. And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God through His WORD as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING; and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God. Upon FAITH communication we ensure the assured redemption deed of Christ Jesus in us.

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

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE conscience” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD THING which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

So, there’s the need to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, because in God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. This thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference – For demon’s will always occupy a vacuum hearts not filled up with God’s word [Matthew 12:43-45]. And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit – [human spirit] and in the truth – [the Word of God]

“When the UNCLEAN SPIRIT is gone out of a man, he WALKETH through DRY PLACES, SEEKING REST, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it EMPTY, SWEPT, and GARNISHED. 45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more WICKED than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the LAST state of that man is WORSE than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation” Matthew 12:43-45.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the placOUmen ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** HEAR/HEARING

** SEE/SEEING

** TASTE/TASTING

** SMELL/SMELLING

** FEEL/TOUCH [FEELING/TOUCHING]

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE. These EFFECTS are as written and experienced in the Scriptures which are of these [Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17]:

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS shows up and was experienced at the beginning times by Mrs Eve and Mr Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith [God’s WORD] with God. [Genesis 3:1-7].

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was DEFEATED with his flesh [fleshy] Introductory scheme by the WORD of God that Christ Jesus utilized by Holy Spirit in the lead. [Luke 4:1-13].

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, as satan and cohorts are looking for who will fall to it’s sword [1 Peter 5:8-9]. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

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

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, The WORD TRIUMPH and a NO WORD then means NO TRIUMPH but DEFEAT and FAILURES and REGRETS; and anything outside the WORD, otherwise it will then be Magic, Sorcery, Traditional belief, dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made make-belief’s, denominational indoctrination, by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DESIRES and DEEDS and EFFECTS of the FLESH through lust.

BE BLESSED.

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD?

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: WALK BY FAITH – LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the PLEASING of God.

“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.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they – the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask.  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:

Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:

“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES”. Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consists of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE,  PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about tying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in everyway in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES. Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understands what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you wants and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led Of God”).

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

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

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 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.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH

By Leave a Comment

ENDEAVOUR TO ‘MORTIFY’ – SUBDUE AND PUT THE FLESH TO DEATH: BEFORE YOUR BEDTIME – FOR YOUR NEW DAY IS COME!

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

Until King Uzziah DIED, there was no NEW DAY and HEADWAY for Prophet Isaiah to experience an ONWARD and UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectory path to thrive, shine and become; and to live meaningfully and purposefully; and to be fulfilled in LIFE and GRACE – Ministry.

King Uzziah was a symbol of the FLESH in the WAY of Prophet Isaiah in doing life and living godly in God in Christ Jesus stead. The consequence and effect King Uzziah presence was that Prophet Isaiah though a great Prophet to be and in the making, could not move FORWARD – ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory with God from Chapter One to Chapter Five. But as soon as his flesh – king Uzziah – gives way in Chapter Six, he was able to witness and experience the three dimensional phase of God’s dealings – an UPWARD, INWARD and OUTWARD trajectories; and that change his LIFE and MINISTRY perception forever – in God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT – which enabled him to become that great Prophet that he was born of God to be in LIFE and GRACE.

Until you MORTIFY, that is, to SUBDUE, to put to DEATH – the act and deeds of the influencer called the FLESH – which is of what you SEE, FEEL, SMELL, TASTE and HEAR. For, it will be difficult to explore, innovate, create and initiate life with God while the influencer – the FLESH abounds. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man be JUSTIFIED or PREVAIL in the sight of God.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

God wants you to experience His ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUITS for your life, but you must have a look as Prophet Isaiah in the three dimensions of an – UPWARD, INWARD AND OUTWARD – of God’s perception, to make it happen for you. It’s what you do INTENTIONALLY and RESPONSIBLY in order to be ACCOUNTABLE in the PRINCIPLE of grace – wherein to STAND in Christ Jesus stead – UNASHAMED, UNAFRAID and EMBOLDENED – and without sentiments, dissimulation and prejudice in all phases with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, WALK in the influence and perception of the WORD of God by the Holy Spirit, you will not fullfil and be influenced by the DESIRE and DEEDS of the FLESH influence in the cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“In the year that KING UZZIAH DIED I SAW ALSO THE LORD SITTING UPON A THRONE, HIGH AND LIFTED UP, AND HIS TRAIN FILLED THE TEMPLE. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 THEN SAID I, WOE IS ME! FOR I AM UNDONE; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 and he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 ALSO I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE LORD, SAYING, WHOM SHALL I SEND, AND WHO WILL GO FOR US? THEN SAID I, HERE AM I; SEND ME. 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not” Isaiah 6:1-9.

“Therefore by the DEEDS of the law there shall no flesh be JUSTIFIED in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin” Romans 3:20.

‘Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the FLESH, to LIVE after the FLESH. 13 For if ye live after the FLESH, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, ye shall LIVE. 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:12-14.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust (DEEDS) of the FLESH . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the FLESH with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25 (Emphasis Mine).

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH

By Leave a Comment

TRIUMPHING OVER THE EFFECT Of LIVING IN THE FLESH – THE FIVE SENSES: THE LUST OF THE FLESH – THE LUST OF THE EYES – AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE!

Knowingly or unknowingly, TRIUMPH and TRIUMPHING is a default DONE DEED for every believing child of God in Christ Jesus stead.

“Now thanks be unto God, WHICH ALWAYS CAUSETH US TO TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:24.

And the Scripture wants every Believer in Christ Jesus to LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT of TRIUMPH, so that they can mortify (crucify) – put to death – the lusts and affections of the flesh – five senses.

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have CRUCIFIED the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we LIVE in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

The scriptural context thus indicates that we need to do life and live within the sphere of the Holy Spirit leads and guides, by the WORD of God, through our human spirit (Proverbs 20:27; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Genesis 2:7). This is what makes one a spirit or spiritual being – a sphere to make you live TRIUMPHANTLY far above just being a human being but as a spiritual being, otherwise a supernatural being that’s Empowered by the Holy Spirit that dwells within you.

For you are created as a BEING not to BEEN. Indicating there’s no place of vacuum to God, in God or with God in the Kingdom cause in order to exercise your place as a BEING of God.

And FAITH in God is the mystery of COMMUNICATION to God as a BEING – that’s the only possible channel, in order to enhance one to exercise the sphere of a BEING (1 Timothy 3:9), and FAITH is the resultant and consequence of the HEARING, the HEARING of the WORD of God (Romans 10:17).

So, to FELLOWSHIP with God, in order to enhance the RELATIONSHIP with God, there’s no sphere place for a VACUUM. Thus indicates that one can’t commune with God outside His WORD for any reason, otherwise there will be satanic interference (Matthew 12:43-45). And to commune with God is about LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit – which is of your spirit and in the truth – the Word of God (John 4:19-24).

The consequential problems of living outside the sphere of the Spirit leads and guides, is living and walking in the FLESH – in the sphere of FIVE SENSES which are these:

** Hear/Hearing

** See/Seeing

** Taste/Tasting

** Smell/Smelling

** Feel/Touch Feeling/Touching

Sadly enough, there is EFFECT – and are EFFECTS – of living in the sphere of the FLESH – FIVE SENSE.

These EFFECTS are these (Genesis 3:1-6; Luke 4:1-13; 1 John 2:15-17):

*** The LUST of the EYES

*** The LUST of the FLESH

*** The PRIDE of LIFE

These EFFECTS was shown at the beginning by Mrs. Eve and Mr. Adam at EDEN for which they fell out in Faith with God.

These EFFECTS shows up again before Jesus during His Holy Spirit led fasting and praying at the TEMPTATION mountain. And Satan was defeated with the flesh Introductory scheme.

Sadly today, these EFFECTS are still at work and hooves around, looking for who will fall to its sword. Will you let it take root in you as many have falling victims over and over again? I hope not.

Unlike Eve and Adam, Jesus TRIUMPH over these five senses EFFECTS by the simple statements – IT IS WRITTEN. Meaning, NO WORD, NO TRIUMPH. Otherwise it will be Magic, Sorcerer, Traditional dogmas, falsehoods, adulteration, Man-made believes, denominational by-law and creeds, and such like.

Therefore, lets TRIUMPH, by LIVING and WALKING in the Spirit by the WORD of God, that we might not fulfill the DEEDS – EFFECTS – of the FLESH.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

BE BLESSED.

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever” 1 John 2:15-17.

“. . . 6 And when the woman SAW that the tree was GOOD for FOOD, and that it was PLEASANT to the EYES, and a tree to be DESIRED to make one WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat . . .” Genesis 3:1-7.

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth” John 4:19-24.

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD?

By Leave a Comment

DO YOU DESIRE TO PLEASE GOD: LIVE AND WALK IN THE SPIRIT BY THE WORD!

I know to what extent most of us are driven in the Christian Faith to DO lots and loads in the name of PLEASING (and wanting to PLEASE) God. And yet NEVER enough, because it’s not by POWER and not by MIGHT but by my Spirit says the LORD as it’s written:

“Then he answered and SPAKE unto me, saying, This is the WORD of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by MIGHT, nor by POWER, but by MY SPIRIT, saith the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6.

And PLEASING God by His Spirit comes through by the WORD. Hence, it’s not enough when some of us let go our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) to ensure that the CAUSE and CAUSES of God and humanity are doing great, and are yet found questionable. This is simply because our precious TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT EXERTION (Physical & Mental) may not have been invested and done SCRIPTURALLY by the WORD in CONTEXT to justify one as to the PLEASING of God.

Honestly, why all our efforts may seems good in our own eyes, but are they – the GOOD, ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL of God? Romans 12:1-2. And we mustn’t forget that His WILL is His WORD and in His WORD only. Then we can ask ourselves if our ACTS of DOING what we DO really PLEASE God?

What then is the ACTS to PLEASE God if someone may ask?  HEREIN ARE TWO PRINCIPLES TO KNOW:

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 1:

Spend your most precious time on what God IS to you rather than what you think or conceived or intend that the enemy and cohorts ARE or DOING or capable of doing. More of God and Less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS. Philemon 1:6.

The foremost and great ACT about PLEASING God is that you spent little or no energy at all on your enemy and or enemies if you think you have one; for God will causes them to be at PEACE with you when your time is spent on God primarily as in His WORD on any context. In my own terms, He makes them to WORK for your good instead of been at WAR with you – Proverbs 16:7. DON’T YOU LIKE THAT? Because I Do LOVE God to take care of the ENEMY and COHORTS while I burn my time instead, PLEASING Him. That’s effortless and keeps one at ease in LIFE and GODLY LIVING even in the MIDST of challenges and obstacles in our circumstances.

Having less and nothing of the ENEMY and COHORTS attention and MORE of God is not the gracious and graceful thing to do when having or in the midst of a mental, physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual TORTURE of the known and unknown enemy (enemies) and cohorts. More so, it’s not about having an ENDLESS meetings of prayer and fasting cum night vigils, instead of spending such gracious moments in PLEASING God by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on that circumstantial while He takes care of that ENEMY and COHORTS department for you as enjoined in the Scripture of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6.

This is what I enjoy doing – PLEASING GOD by the SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT on any subject matters that confronts me; and that’s what I wants you to know and enjoy likewise in Christ Jesus. Hence no more enemy (enemies) and cohorts l WORRIES, ANXIOUSNESS and CONSCIOUSNESS to keep me in fear phobias when I am at PEACE with God. That is the PATH OF LIFE I follow, to have COMMUNION, which is the FELLOWSHIP that enhances RELATIONSHIP with God. It SAVES me from ERRORS and SELF AFFLICTION and IGNORANCE in dealing with matters of life in my GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead – Psalms 16:11; 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 8:28. Matthew 22:29; Acts 17:30-31.

** THE ACT TO PLEASE GOD – PRINCIPLE 2:

“Spend your synergy to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by your spirit and not in the FLESH – SENSES” Galatians 5:25.

To LIVE and WALK in the Spirit is another ACT you MUST know and start DOING while you stop right now living and walking in the flesh – by your SENSES, if you MUST PLEASE God in order to enjoy the scriptural rights and privileges of Proverbs 16:7 and Hebrews 11:6, in conjunction with the enjoined Scriptures of Romans 8:1-4, 8.

Romans 8:1-4, 8 states that those who are – that is, LIVE and WALK in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God. What then does it mean to LIVE and WALK in the FLESH? It means to live and walk in your FIVE SENSES directives in opposition to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY with God in SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT. And herein, are what the FLESH (SENSES) segments consist of:

** Hearing (Hear)

** Seeing (See)

** Smelling (Smell)

** Tasting (Taste)

** Feeling/Touching (Feel/Touch)

People who live and walks by the indulgence and guidance of their FIVE SENSES satisfies the lusts and affections of the flesh. And such CANNOT PLEASE God no matter what their intents are. For by the DEEDS of the FLESH shall no man LIVE, PREVAIL and be JUSTIFIED before God as says the Scripture – Romans 3:20; Romans 8:13, 28-30.

They are always CONSEQUENCES and EFFECTS of living and walking in the FLESH – five senses. Therefore, DON’T BE A SENSE-RULED or BODY-RULED BELIEVER – if you must PLEASE God. Let your SENSES be sensitized by God’s WORD as Hebrews 5:14 enjoined.

And if you feel Otherwise you can ASK:

*** EVE of Genesis about the effect of the sight (to behold of the eyes) of the fruit in the garden of Eden;

*** ESAU about the smell and taste of porridge that cause his lost to his birthright because of his brother’s – JACOB – porridge;

*** King SAUL of losing his throne towards the harkening his ear in hearing and listening to the voice of the people in making sacrifice ahead of Prophet SAMUEL arrival and instructions;

*** Prophet SAMUEL about trying to anoint ELIAB as a King instead of DAVID by sight in JESSE’S house and God’s rebuke in his trying to do so;

*** King DAVID about the death of a non-LEVITE’S who touch the ARK to help carry it against divine process;

*** Yourself of other such like SENSE ACTS in the Holy Writ not mentioned.

HOW THEN DO WE PLEASE GOD IN ESSENCE:

The Scripture of Hebrews 11:6 says that WITHOUT an ACT of FAITH we CANNOT PLEASE GOD. Really? YES! Faith is ACTING accordingly on what you BELIEVE on GOD’S WORD in context. It thus means FAITH is of God’s WORD. Meaning No WORD – No FAITH, for FAITH comes by the WORD – Romans 10:17, Hebrews 11:1-3.

The WORD of God is spiritual, victorious and triumphant in every way in every cause. Meaning FAITH is spiritual, victorious and triumphant – 1 John 5:3-5, 2 Corinthians 2:14. Then to exercise FAITH life in order to PLEASE GOD, one needs to LIVE and WALK in the Spirit. Only by the Holy Spirit CAN one ONLY live FAR ABOVE the lusts and affections of the flesh – SENSES Galatians 5:24-25.

Living by the SPIRIT is living by the WORD of God. When you develop a living in the Spirit by your spirit consciousness, then can you LIVE and WALK in the SPIRIT by your spirit consciousness.

Do you know and understand what it means to live in the Spirit by your spirit-consciousness to enhance your Spirit Walk by your spirit-consciousness? If you don’t, the FLESH – SENSE living will keep you at WAR in your being as the Scripture enjoins in Galatians 5:16, 24 and James 4:1-3.

Therefore, if you must PLEASE God – then LIVE and WALK in the Spirit by the WORD OF GOD through FAITH. For we WALK by FAITH SENSE and not by SIGHT – FLESH SENSE – 2 Corinthians 5:7. And anything done outside FAITH ACTS is Sin, so enjoined the scripture of Romans 14:23. Sin then means UNBELIEVE toward God in Christ Jesus stead. That is, for any not to BELIEVE on God’s WORD as it is and ACT accordingly in Christ Jesus stead.

If you want and must PLEASE GOD, LIVE and WALK in the Spirit and not in your SENSES that you might access God’s PEACE even in the midst of your acclaimed enemy (enemies) and cohorts (More on this is in my later upcoming Book – “Being Divinely Led of God”).

“That the COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING OF EVERY GOOD THING which is IN YOU in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:6.

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

“This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh . . . 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the AFFECTIONS and LUSTS. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also WALK in the Spirit” Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who WALK not after the FLESH, but after the Spirit . . . 8 So then they that are in the FLESH CANNOT PLEASE God” Romans 8:1-8.

“. . . 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.

“From whence come WARS AND FIGHTINGS among you? come they not hence, even of your LUSTS that WAR in your members? 2 Ye LUST, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and CANNOT OBTAIN: ye FIGHT AND WAR, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your LUST” James 4:1-3.

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within

By Leave a Comment

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – The I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Every one craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thoughts. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfillment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 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” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.
