DON’T JUST GIVE UP BASED ON YOUR HEALTH DETAILS: PRAYERS CHANGES THINGS – YOU CAN LIVE AGAIN!
 
“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL THINGS that thou mayest PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH, even as thy SOUL PROSPERETH” 3 John 1:2.
 
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may SUCCEED and PROSPER and be in GOOD HEALTH [PHYSICALLY], just as [I know] your soul PROSPERS [SPIRITUALLY]” 3 John 1:2/AMP.
 
Don’t let your worlds come down before you when it’s within you to make the difference and change your dearly need. You can create the desired atmosphere you wants to see and enjoy in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, through making your own PRAYER WALL relevant with you toward God and toward Christ, by the Holy Spirit on the Word of God, and by Faith in the grace, as in your rights and privileges in REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] BY FAITH, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of RECONCILIATION with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS BY FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the manifestation of His excellence and power]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
 
It’s time to TURN OFF any form or platform of DISTRACTIONS, then raise your PRAYER WALL and TURN YOUR FACE TOWARD God and TOWARD Christ Jesus, in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, for an ANSWER to your QUEST.
 
“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 TESTIFYING both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance TOWARD God, and faith TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.
 
If Hezekiah could change the COURSE of his HEALTH sentence history that was certified unto death, and that of his City curse and REVERSE the eclipse of Sun that was once held back by Joshua, through PRAYER WALL, in turning off from human limitations and distraction, and turning toward God for an ANSWER, you can [Joshua 10:12-14]. I say you can because I know He’s the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. Amen. [Hebrews 13:8]. HE NEVER FAILS ME YET GOD, is who, whom, how, when, where and what I call Him. I have SEEN and EXPERIENCED and keep EXPERIENCING Him again and again, and He does things and keep doing awesome things now and always. Your case can’t make a difference to Him at all for Him to resolve it speedily if you let Him. And He will ANSWER you indeed. Amen.
 
“And said, If thou wilt DILIGENTLY hearken to the VOICE of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is RIGHT in his sight, and wilt give EAR to his commandments, and KEEP all his statutes, I will put NONE OF THESE DISEASES upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: FOR I AM THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE” Exodus 15:26.
 
“And ye shall SERVE the Lord your God, and he shall BLESS thy bread, and thy water; and I will take SICKNESS away from the MIDST of thee. 26 There shall NOTHING CAST THEIR YOUNG, NOR BE BARREN, in thy land: the NUMBER OF THY DAYS I WILL FULFIL” Exodus 23:25-26.
 
Give it a go today – even now. Don’t give up. Don’t faint. Don’t go weary. Don’t submit to that deadly medical report. Take it up with God in Christ Jesus stead on your PRAYER WALL as Hezekiah did in his DISTRESS and FAILING CIRCUMSTANCE.
 
You can MAKE your difference, by the HOW TO DO IT as Hezekiah did – making and using your own – PRAYER WALL.
 
May God’s enabling grace and BLESSEDNESS abound with you accordingly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“In those days was Hezekiah SICK UNTO DEATH. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, THUS SAITH THE LORD, SET THINE HOUSE IN ORDER: FOR THOU SHALT DIE, AND NOT LIVE. 2 Then Hezekiah TURNED HIS FACE TOWARD THE WALL, and PRAYED unto the Lord, 3 and said, REMEMBER now, O Lord, I beseech thee, how I have WALKED before thee IN TRUTH and with a PERFECT HEART, and have DONE THAT WHICH IS GOOD IN THY SIGHT. And Hezekiah WEPT SORE. 4 Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, 5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I HAVE HEARD THY PRAYER, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will ADD unto thy DAYS fifteen years. 6 And I will DELIVER thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will DEFEND this city. 7 And this shall be a SIGN unto thee from the Lord, that the Lord will do this thing that he hath spoken; 8 behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down” Isaiah 38:1-8 [Parallel Scriptures: (2 Kings 20:1-11; 2 Chronicles 32:24-30)].
 
“Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord DELIVERED up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, STAND THOU STILL upon Gibeon; AND THOU, MOON, in the valley of Ajalon. 13 And THE SUN STOOD STILL, and THE MOON STAYED, until the people had AVENGED themselves upon their ENEMIES. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. 14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel” Joshua 10:12-14.

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT

By Leave a Comment

DISCIPLINE & CHASTISEMENT – ARE GOD’S LOVE PACT – FOR HIS REDEEMED CHILDREN: BEING DISCIPLINE THROUGH GOD’S MIRROR OF LOVE WORTH IT – DON’T RUN AWAY!

“Better is an OPEN REPRIMAND [of LOVING CORRECTION] than LOVE that is HIDDEN [CONCEALED]. 6  Faithful are the WOUNDS of a friend [who CORRECTS out of LOVE and CONCERN], but the KISSES of an ENEMY are DECEITFUL [because they SERVE his hidden agenda]” Proverbs 27:5-6/Amplified.

I want to believe that you know that God has your best interests in heart’s at – any day, any where and any time. And that God LOVES you unconditionally too and irrespective. And so, are good and godly people towards you in every respective in Christ Jesus stead. And we ARE only being DISCIPLINED and CHASTISED and REPRIMANDED and REBUKED by God in Christ Jesus stead, ONLY on matters that are unscriptural, and of naughtiness, and of foolish behavioural manners contrary to the context of His will for us as His dear children, in order to bring about the good and goodness out of us.

And our ability to ENDURE God’s DISCIPLINES and CHASTISEMENTS when it SHOWS up – it’s for our OWN good and eternal VIRTUE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. God’s discipline [chastisement] is one aspects of the Christian faith in Christ Jesus, that many so-called Believer’s doesn’t want to reckon with; and especially when matters of LOVE pops up about them. And, when God have to use their heartfelt loving friends or colleagues or parents or any avenues deemed fit by Him to help them stand upright and strengthen up for their own good and goodness – they can’t and won’t fathom it until they found themselves in a messy place – because of their leaning on the deception and deceitfulness of the enemy and cohorts that only appeals to their sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

“And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For WHOM the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?” Hebrews 12:5-7.

Living and walking in God’s love also connotes, endorses, embraces and embodies the act of being DISCIPLINE and CHASTISEMENTS. Meaning God will discipline any of His REDEEMED children whom He LOVES, in order to bring out His very best in them and to give them the living worth they crave. This is part of the LOVE PACT of God.

The reason being that the redemptive LIBERTY, that is, the FREEDOM in Christ Jesus is not an OCCASION for one to live and walk in the flesh or sin, instead, it’s to LIVE and WALK in GOD’S  LOVE. Simply put, there’s nothing like or as ‘it doesn’t matter what I do, as long as God loves me’. NO, it DOES matter what you do privately and publicly, because those that God LOVES, He DISCIPLINE and CHASTISES them, except they choose to be bastards or illegitimate children, which you ARE not.

“If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons” Hebrews 12:7-8.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you live within the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead; and for any reason that you detailed anyway, may you be able to take on the discipline of God without a fight, so that you can have the fulness of God that’s at work for your good in everyway. 1 John 1:5-10.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK . . .

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For if we would JUDGE (EXAMINE) ourselves, we should not be JUDGED (EXAMINE). 32 But when we are JUDGED (EXAMINED), we are CHASTENED of the Lord, that we should not be CONDEMNED with the world” 1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (Emphasis Mine).

“For consider Him who ENDURED such HOSTILITY from sinners against Himself, lest you become WEARY and DISCOURAGED in your souls.  4 You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin.  5 And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons: My son, do not DESPISE the CHASTENING of the Lord, Nor be DISCOURAGED when you are REBUKED by Him; 6 For whom the Lord LOVES He CHASTENS, And SCOURGES every son whom He RECEIVES. 7 If you endure CHASTENING, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not CHASTEN?  8 But if you are without CHASTENING, of which all have BECOME PARTAKERS, then you are ILLEGITIMATE and not sons.  9 Furthermore, we have had HUMAN fathers who CORRECTED us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more READILY be in SUBJECTION to the Father of spirits and live?  10 For they indeed for a few days CHASTENED us as seemed best to them, but He for our PROFIT, that we may be PARTAKERS of His holiness.  11 Now no CHASTENING seems to be JOYFUL for the present, but PAINFUL; nevertheless, afterward it yields the PEACEABLE fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it” Hebrews 12:3-11.

“STAND FAST therefore in the LIBERTY wherewith Christ hath MADE US FREE, and be not ENTANGLED again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE . . . For, brethren, ye have been called unto LIBERTY; only use not liberty for an OCCASION to the flesh, but by LOVE serve one another. 14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself. 15 But if ye BITE and DEVOUR one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 16 This I say then, WALK in the Spirit, and ye shall not FULFIL the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law” Galatians 5:1, 13-18.

“This is the message [of God’s promised revelation] which we have heard from Him and now announce to you, that God is Light [He is holy, His message is truthful, He is perfect in righteousness], and in Him there is no darkness at all [no sin, no wickedness, no imperfection]. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness [of sin], we lie and do not practice the truth; 7 but if we [really] walk in the Light [that is, live each and every day in conformity with the precepts of God], as He Himself is in the Light, we have [true, unbroken] fellowship with one another [He with us, and we with Him], and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin [by erasing the stain of sin, keeping us cleansed from sin in all its forms and manifestations]. 8 If we say we have no sin [refusing to admit that we are sinners], we delude ourselves and the truth is not in us. [His word does not live in our hearts.] 9 If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just [true to His own nature and promises], and will forgive our sins and cleanse us continually from all unrighteousness [our wrongdoing, everything not in conformity with His will and purpose]. 10 If we say that we have not sinned [refusing to admit acts of sin], we make Him [out to be] a liar [by contradicting Him] and His word is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10 Amplified.

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS – BE MORE THAN A DAY AND MOMENTARY EVENT

MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS – BE MORE THAN A DAY AND MOMENTARY EVENT: MAKE IT YOUR DAILY EXPERIENCES IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah” Psalms 68:19.

The celebration and commemoration of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth and His redemption cause on earth is what Christmas is all about. The act of Christmas should be a DAILY LIFE experience  and not just A DAY EVENT – Psalms 68:19. For God is set to crown the year with His goodness and abundance day by day, and not for only one time as in month December by the Christmas.

 “Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS” Psalms 65:11.

I know that as one live daily to acknowledge the purpose of God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus birth, and His redemption cause on earth, the BENEFITS of God in this intent will accompany such an individual. That’s the essence of the awakening that THIS CHRISTMAS brings – A DAILY Experience and not a MOMENTARY experience. Hence, in your acts of CHRISTMAS – even This CHRISTMAS, it’s wise to make it your daily habits and benefits – it’s your rights in life in Christ Jesus stead. For God’s mercies and steadfast faithfulness in love for you and all are refreshing and new each day.

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.

It thus mean that God’s love intent for mankind in Christ Jesus at Christmas commemoration and celebration, should become a daily life DOING and EXPERIENCE; it should not become where you have to await for another year again to – look good about yourself, to put on gorgeous outfits, to appear elegant, to eat a very good healthy meal, to pay homage to family’s, friends and the love ones that you care about, to enjoy the best of God in life and to do many other charitable causes for fellow men as God have given you opportunity.

I pray you DAILY experience the goodness of God as you enact the essence of Christ Jesus in THIS CHRISTMAS, for our God do indeed CROWN the years with His goodness and abundance for our BLESSEDNESS.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“Blessed be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH us with BENEFITS, even the God of our salvation” Psalms 68:19.

“Thou CROWNEST the YEAR with thy GOODNESS; and thy PATHS DROP FATNESS. 12 They drop upon 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 over with CORN; they shout for JOY, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13.

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are not consumed, because his COMPASSIONS fail not. 23 They are NEW EVERY MORNING: great is thy FAITHFULNESS. 24 The Lord is MY PORTION, saith my soul; therefore will I HOPE in him” Lamentations 3:22-24.

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But EXHORT one another DAILY, while it is called TO DAY; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14 For we are made PARTAKERS of Christ, if we HOLD the beginning of our confidence STEDFAST unto the end; 15 while it is said, TO DAY if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation” Hebrews 3:12-15.

THE GOD’S WISDOM SENSE VERSUS THE HUMAN WISDOM SENSES

By Leave a Comment

THE GOD’S WISDOM SENSE VERSUS THE HUMAN WISDOM SENSES: ARE YOU CONFUSED OF WHO YOU ARE – GOD IS NOT CONFUSED!

“And ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and THE TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE” John 8:32.

May I begin by saying: IT’S THE TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW THAT SETS YOU FREE. And you are either FREE by the TRUTH or in bondage by the MAKE BELIEVE about you, which is born from the human WISDOM SENSES and not God’s WISDOM. And it’s for our freedom from our self-made and others enforced bondages that are out there that God in Christ Jesus, sets us free – and God won’t enforced His freedom on us as we are created with a free moral will to make own self determined decisions; so, will we ensure God’s wisdom sense package or will take to the human wisdom senses path, that leads to more of the same bondages irrespective on how the perspective may seem rights in our own eyes knowing it’s contrary to the eyes of the creator of our truly well-being.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and DO NOT be subject again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1-2/Amplified

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with EXCELLENCY of SPEECH or of WISDOM, declaring unto you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching was not with ENTICING WORDS OF MAN’S WISDOM, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: 5 that your FAITH should NOT STAND in the WISDOM OF MEN, but in the POWER of God. 6 Howbeit we speak WISDOM among them that are perfect: yet NOT THE WISDOM OF THIS WORLD, nor of THE PRINCES OF THIS WORLD, that come to NOUGHT” 1 Corinthians 1:1-7.

WE LIVE TODAY IN A WORLD FULL OF CONFUSION. I am not surprised at all because I SCRIPTURALLY know that the god of this world system is an author and architect of CONFUSION. He delights to see a confused people and a disturbed world, to enable him and cohorts to do more harm and evil to God’s creation who choose not his ways and to ensure that they are inclined to it’s reprobate acts.

“But if our GOSPEL be HID, it is HID to them that are LOST: 4 in whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD hath BLINDED THE MINDS of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the LIGHT of the GLORIOUS GOSPEL of Christ, who is the image of God, should SHINE unto them” 2 Corinthians 4:3-4.

People are confused of who they really are today simply because the god of the world system rules in their midst and all it can offer to them that are inclined, is what he has and which they in return cherished – CONFUSION, firstly to self, then to the family and colleagues, and to the community and the societal world – and in any subjects and matters as whole, leading to national approval and probably to a sectional world insane.

To make the confusion worst, you find that, in the light of political correctness, even leaders in positions and ranks of decisions making, if not almost in all spectrums of life are confused too; and in order to keep their job and statuesque because of fear and embarrassment of being labelled and called names or set asides, these leaders are determined to call black white and white black no matter what it takes. And it is not because they don’t know the difference in terms and reality, but to enable them manoeuvre and enjoy the norm; hence you will hear aloud as some will say – this is 21st century anything is possible – including the CONFUSION, live with it and get along with it. They however forgets that God is not mocked and can’t be mocked in mankind’s confused stated.

“Be NOT DECEIVED; God is NOT MOCKED: for whatsoever a man SOWETH, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that SOWETH to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that SOWETH to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting” Galatians 6:7-8.

I have good news for you if you think you are confused or find yourself in a confused state of life in self-worth and discovery – you need to, KNOW FULL WELL THAT GOD IS NOT CONFUSED AND IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION AND DOES NOT CONFUSED HIS CREATION OR WHAT HE CREATED. He is the excellent Father God of creation, who has been and is and will ever be. He has live through every generation and dispensation and is not at any point surprised when people find dubious, deplorable, depraved and convenient reasons to live differently out of His WORD, and acclaim what is justifiable in God’s sight is wrong by their bad choices; and to be confused no matter it takes them to stay in such statuesque of ensuring the good is seen as bad and bad as good irrespective.

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

“He who JUSTIFIES the WICKED, and he who CONDEMNS the JUST, both of them ALIKE are an ABOMINATION to the Lord” Proverbs 17:15/NKJV.

“The Lord DESPISES those who SAY that bad is good and good is bad” Proverbs 17:15/LB

More so, a section of People are confused because of their DEPRAVED MIND towards God and His word, hence they are given a REPROBATE MIND to do all sorts of unimaginable things in the name of civilization and free worlds as per the author and architect of confusion – the devil and cohorts – who has chosen to perpetrate his evil works and wickedness in blindfold to a supposedly beautiful creation of God. However, God is at work to DELIVER His own and all those that are making effort to have a turn-around in faith from their confusion and confused state, and to stayed faithful toward Him in Christ Jesus, by the WORD, irrespective of the attached cost to break-forth and be free indeed.

” . . . 28 And even as they did not like to RETAIN God in their KNOWLEDGE, God GAVE them over to a REPROBATE mind, to do those things which are not CONVENIENT . . .” Romans 1:15-32.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

Today I plead with you to look inward again by the light that shines out of darkness, which is the WORD of God, and let the Holy Spirit God give new breaths of life into you again, that you might know that you are God’s own; you don’t need to be confused, for your creator Father God is not confused and does not confused His creation of which you are one – as you are beautifully, wonderfully and reverentially created in His delight. Psalms 139:9-18; Revelation 4:11; Ecclesiastes 3:11.

ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT – IT’S THE TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW THAT SETS YOU FREE – AND NOT THE HUMAN SENSES MAKE-BELIEVE IDEOLOGY OF THE ENEMY AND COHORTS

And if you ARE CONFUSED OF WHO YOU ARE in God in Christ Jesus, know that GOD IS NOT CONFUSED of what He made you be in Him in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, return to Him while it’s yet today and early, while your opportunity still counts and account for your good and goodness.

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in Christ Jesus stead, to enable you know and understand that God loves and cares about you and does not want you to live confused of who you are in Him in creation. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints” 1 Corinthians 14:33.

“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast CREATED all things, and for thy pleasure they ARE and WERE created” Revelation 4:11.

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your ADVERSARY the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, SEEKING WHOM HE MAY DEVOUR” 1 Peters 5:8.

“But if our GOSPEL be HID, it is HID to them that are LOST: 4 in whom THE GOD OF THIS WORLD hath BLINDED THE MINDS of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the LIGHT of the GLORIOUS GOSPEL of Christ, who is the image of God, should SHINE unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who commanded the LIGHT TO SHINE OUT OF DARKNESS, hath SHINED IN OUR HEARTS, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:3-6.

“The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life” Job 33:4.

“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” Genesis 2:7.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth . . . 31 And God saw every thing that he had MADE, and, behold, it was VERY GOOD. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day” Genesis 1:27-28, 31.

“He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart [a mysterious longing 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.

“. . . 13 For You FORMED MY INWARD PARTS; You COVERED me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am FEARFULLY and WONDERFULLY made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul KNOWS very well. 15 My FRAME was not HIDDEN from You, When I was MADE in secret, And SKILLFULLY wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your EYES SAW MY SUBSTANCE, being yet unformed. And in YOUR BOOK they all were WRITTEN, The days FASHIONED for me, When as yet there were none of them . . .” Psalms 139:9-18/NKJV.

THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST

By Leave a Comment

THIS DECEMBER – IT’S YOUR FREEDOM CHRISTMAS IN JESUS THE CHRIST: TO END – THE SIN CONSCIOUSNESS AND TO START UP – THE RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS!

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep STANDING firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only DO NOT LET YOUR FREEDOM become an opportunity for the SINFUL NATURE (worldliness, selfishness), but through LOVE SERVE and SEEK the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.

No More SIN FISHING – FOR YOU ARE GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS In Christ Jesus. Therefore, know of a TRUTH, that the BIRTH of JESUS the CHRIST is to lay the foundation to the end of SIN CONSCIOUSNESS and to start up the NEW CREATION mandate of RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Him as it’s written:

“For Christ is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH” Romans 10:4.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: OLD THINGS are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21.

It’s time to live FREE by THIS DECEMBER, THIS CHRISTMAS and even now, for your FREEDOM time is come in EMMANUEL Birth, which is – JESUS THE CHRIST. Matthew 16:20.

“Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was JESUS THE CHRIST”

The REASON for the SEASON of Christmas commemoration and celebration, is all about God’s LOVE in demonstration through the BIRTH of Jesus the Christ. It’s not to activate SIN or make SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, meaning it’s not to make you GUILTY again and again, but to give LOVE and make us receive God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, because God’s LOVE in Christ Jesus is STRONGER than the stings and pangs of SIN.

Hence the scripture of Micah says God had buried our inequities under the SEA of forgetfulness and I say to you – NO FISHĪNG or NO MORE FISHING! Meaning, don’t go fishing what God has forgiven you of, no matter the gravity of it. Don’t go feeling guilty with memory of events that had happened. No fishing! This is your freedom Christmas.

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH INIQUITY, and PASSETH by the TRANSGRESSION of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER for ever, because he DELIGHTEH in MERCY. 19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt cast ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

Don’t go and visit place or places of reminder, even if it is called a Church. Go to a place or places where you are WELCOME and RECEIVE; and the LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus is celebrated to enhance your FREEDOM and REDEMPTION in Him.

Living in SIN CONSCIOUSNESS will invite the enemy and that will rob you of your worth and dignity especially during this period of expressing true LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS to fellow men because of Christ.

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

Let LOVE and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS possess your day, that’s what makes Christmas worth expressing and everything. This CHRISTMAS is about God’s LOVE and your access to FREEDOM in Christ and not to LIVE IN GUILT anymore.

GOD’S GRACE AND BLESSINGS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH INIQUITY, and PASSETH by the TRANSGRESSION of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his ANGER for ever, because he DELIGHTEH in MERCY. 19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will SUBDUE our INIQUITIES; and thou wilt cast ALL their SINS into the DEPTHS of the SEA” Micah 7:18-19.

“For Christ is the END of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH” Romans 10:4.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION: OLD THINGS are PASSED AWAY; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who knew no SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21.

“But God FORBID that I should glory, SAVE IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. 15 For in Christ Jesus NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION, BUT A NEW CREATURE. 16 And as many as WALK according to this RULE, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God” Galatians 6:14-16.

“For in Jesus Christ NEITHER CIRCUMCISION AVAILETH ANY THING, NOR UNCIRCUMCISION; but FAITH WHICH WORKETH BY LOVE . . . 13 For, brethren, ye have been CALLED unto LIBERTY [FREEDOM]; only use not LIBERTY [FREEDOM] for an occasion to the flesh, but by LOVE SERVE one another. 14 For all THE LAW IS FULFILLED IN ONE WORD, even in this; Thou shalt LOVE thy neighbour as thyself” Galatians 5:6, 13-14.

THIS DECEMBER – THIS CHRISTMAS: MY TEN SPECIAL CHRISTMAS ‘WISDOM NUGGET DIGEST’ TO YOU!

This CHRISTMAS . . . This DECEMBER, it’s great knowing these but not limited wisdom nuggets that WORTH digesting as such:

Firstly, WHAT IS CHRISTMAS? It is a yearly COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION of God’s LOVE to mankind in the BIRTH of our Lord and Saviour – Christ Jesus and His REDEMPTION CAUSE on earth for the good of ALL mankind.

Secondly, I am laying out some TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST which I love you to observe for your own good – It will secure you in GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in this DECEMBER Christmas from lots of shortfalls that people get trapped into.

HEREIN are the TEN WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST to assist you wisely in this DECEMBER CHRISTMAS preparation if you may:

* 1ST WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall PREPARE your soul for Christmas – [Romans 12:1-2]. We need to PREPARE a room in the INNER being of our heart for the Lord in this Christmas – [Revelation 3:20; Luke 2:7b].

* 2ND WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not over BURDEN the Salesclerk with your worries – [Matthew 6:25-34 (note especially vs. 33 – the need to seek right)].

We need not let the worry of gifts – Shoes, games, transport, groceries, clothing’s, jewelleries and other forms of shopping and shoppers, to weigh us down and get us into debt. You need to escape from the bondage of – BUY today for nothing to PAY in WORRIES and ANXIOUSNESS with a HEAVY HEARTS and BURDEN later – resulting and leading to depression.

* 3RD WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall GIVE yourself with your gift – [2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 2 Corinthians 9:7-11; Psalm 49:6-9].

GIVE God your HEART before you GIVE your material gains and gifts: Give me your heart, the Lord requires first before anything. Your life is worth to God than your gift. GIVING IS LIVING.

* 4TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not VALUE gift by their cost – [Luke 21:1-5; Matthew 2:11]. The least expensive gift may speak LOVE and with great hearts than the costly.

* 5TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not LEAVE (keep) Christ outside Christmas – [Matthew 2:13]. Joseph was with Christ during Christmas celebration mood; hence he could hear God of the enemy and cohorts intent and plan – for King Herod’s had set a danger plan against baby Jesus. Don’t let Christmas be used for evil work against you and your family.

* 6TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not ALLOW Father Christmas to REPLACE Christ in your heart and that of your family – [Ephesians 3:13-14; Colossians 1:27; Luke 2:11]. Some will put up some masquerade and sorcery circus acts to display in devilish mood, terrorising and frightening people in the name of Christmas. Don’t get people hurt please. Stay far away from such attraction.

* 7TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not FORGET and NEGLECT the needy – [James 1:27; 2:14-20]. Christmas is a very good time to extend God’s love in you to the needy around you. For the have not will always be among us the scriptures say – Deuteronomy 15:11; Mark 14:7.

* 8TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall not NEGLECT your Church – the place of gathering for Fellowship, serve and Worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – [Hebrews 10:25]. What is the Church? It is the voluntary gathering of people to FELLOWSHIP with one another in the LOVE of Christ, to SERVE God ACCEPTABLY and to WORSHIP God WORTHILY in spirit and truth. The service in the Church highlights the Christmas. In the morning it is called MASS – Celebration and Commemoration while in the evening – it is called BENEDICTION. [John 4:20-24; Philippians 3:3; 1 Corinthians 1:9, 1 Corinthians 14:25].

* 9TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall be humble as a LITTLE Child – [Mark 10:15]. It takes a childhood heart to embrace the spirit of Christ birth for the called Christmas. Hence, it’s a time of childhood spirit and not childish attitude which we may see on our streets and community during this period.

* 10TH WISDOM NUGGETS DIGEST: You shall WORSHIP and give your heart toward God in Christ Jesus – [Matthew 2:11; John 3:16; Revelation 3:20; John 1:12]. Let Christ be at the top of your Christmas commemoration and celebration. Prepare and decorate your hearts much more to your house.

And FINALLY:

KEEP SELFISHNESS OUT OF YOUR CHRISTMAS – FOR SELFISHNESS makes Christmas a BURDEN but LOVE makes Christmas – PEACEFUL, LOVELY, GOOD WILL and JOYOUS in everyway. FOR GIVING IS LIVING. AND CONTENTMENT IS A GREAT GAIN IN LIFE AND GODLINESS.

Wishing you a MERRY Christmas of good will and peace. And BLESSED COMMEMORATION and CELEBRATION in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

DON’T GIVE UP – DON’T LOOSE HEARTS – There Are Over 365 of ‘FEAR NOT’ In Bible Scriptures: At Least – There’s ONE For Each Day In A Year!

“There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT in love” 1 John 4:17-19.

This Year may have been very difficult and challenging in many or all respect – but FEAR NOT. God will keep you from EVIL as you remain steadfast in the FAITH in the midst of the turbulence and circumstances around.

“GRACE be to you and PEACE from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who GAVE himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

More so, God is FAITHFUL to keep you from ALL FEAR phobias. Just stay Stationed in the light of the Scriptures.

GOD CARES FOR YOU. GOD LOVES YOU. I PRAY YOU KNOW IT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR (timidity, inferiority complex, being intimidated); but of POWER (boldness, courage, dominion), and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:7 (Emphasis Mine).

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT (WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE, FULLY), that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of JUDGMENT (DIFFICULTY, CHALLENGE, QUESTION): because AS HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is NO FEAR IN LOVE; but PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT in love. 19 We LOVE him, because he FIRST LOVED us” 1 John 4:17-19.

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED AND REDEEMED his people, 69 and hath RAISED UP AN HORN OF SALVATION FOR US in the house of his servant David; 70 as he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: 71 that we should be SAVED FROM OUR ENEMIES, and from THE HAND OF ALL THAT HATE US; 72 to perform the mercy promised to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; 73 the oath which he sware to our father Abraham, 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our enemies MIGHT SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life”  Luke 1:68-75.

“FEAR thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. 11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ASHAMED and CONFOUNDED:they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish. 12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that CONTENDED with thee: they that WAR against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. 13 For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, FEAR not; I will help thee. 14 FEAR not, thou worm Jacob, and ye men of Israel; I will help thee, saith the Lord, and thy redeemer, the Holy One of Israel” Isaiah 41:10-14.

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD

By Leave a Comment

IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD – THAT’S NOT NEW: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN DEATH – IT’S INEVITABLE!

“For I AM the Lord, I CHANGE not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” Malachi 3:6

Some people thinks that BELIEVING in God and or not BELIEVING in God and or being doubtful if there’s God, will change the person of the sovereignty of God. Sorry my friend, that will not at all happen, if that’s your position – and it makes no difference at all about the sovereignty of God – for He CHANGES not and there’s no CONTROVERSY about Him, by what you hold or claims to hold about Him before or now.

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16.

Some others think it is their place to be emboldened and to make it known and loud, on why not to BELIEVE in God; and to question if there’s a God besides what they think as freelance thinker or atheists shows stupidity and fooolishness as it’s written:

” The FOOL hath said in his heart, There is NO God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good” Psalms 14:1.

And to imagine if the called God can make you unique, exclusive, important and APPLAUDED and HYPE for whatsoever reason in your assumptions or conclusions shows pure ignorance and delusional in context because it’s deadly to position yourself to be something that you are not and will never be.

“And Herod was highly displeased with them of Tyre and Sidon: but they came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus the king’s chamberlain their friend, desired peace; because their country was nourished by the king’s country. 21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an ORATION unto them. 22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the VOICE of a god, and not of a man. 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord SMOTE him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost” Acts 12:20-23.

And if you don’t FEAR God, I have these scriptural news for you to read in order to be INFORMED and TRANSFORMED, if such is your case because you aren’t the first to think or imagine otherwise about God – Luke 8:1-8 Acts 17.

Unfortunately for many in their ignorance, one thing that is a certainty for all the living creation – RICH or POOR – there’s a life span for all under the sun. And this is irrespective of how morally good in your own ways you are outside God’s planned REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead are; or on how wealthy or poor you might have ascertained in status and position and or have acquired the laid up blocks of being mighty, great and successful in life in humanity. There’s an end point of life span at the undated end road, in which your BELIEVE or UNBELIEVE of God will matter then; and at that point, a mere oxygen or wealth or attained status or acquired success can’t keep any alive, and then is your an ANSWER to the giver of eternal spirit and breath that’s in all human beings – which is in eternity, the breath of God in all – (Ecclesiastes 3:11 – Amplified; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Proverbs 20:27; Genesis 2:7).

The Holy Scripture of Luke 18:1-8 portrays in verses 2 and 4 of a JUDGE, who BELIEVE not in God and have no regards and sense of humanity in him for his fellow human being. How much bad could somebody status be in life. So it’s not knew to not BELIEVE in God; much more to disregards others around you because of your class, status, position and acquisitions in life.

However, HEREIN are some reasons to PAUSE and THINK about your UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING position toward God:

** In the Holy Writ of Luke 16:13-31, there is a living story of a RICH PERSON and POOR PERSON. The RICH man felt all he has attained what will buy him access to God. He NEVER believe death can even get to his doorsteps. As written in verse 21, the RICH man died just as the POOR man called Lazarus died. Remembering Lazarus was daily begging for help at his gate, without his consideration on care on this poor beggar. Unfortunately for the RICH man he became a beggar at death and his wealth and status never followed him.

** A YOUNG rich man was considered to be a foolish rich man in the Holy Writ of Luke 12:13-21. He thought by His acquisition in life he could even buy death. His pride killed him, simply for His disbelieve of being rich toward God.

** The Holy Writ of Acts 12:18-23 gives the most profound of being foolish and ignorance of God. This was exhibited by King Herod whom the scriptures described as one that was very wicked and enjoys the ovation and applaud of men – acclaimed as being God himself. When his breath of life was taken away from him by eternal God he despised, then he knows who actually is God and that there’s God.

I pray you found yourself before God gets hold of you in an awkward position when it’s difficult to bend and reverse the clock of your time while your life breath is still here on earth – Hebrews 9:27.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Let us hear the CONCLUSION of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil” Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.

“They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the MULTITUDE of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption. 10 For he seeth that WISE men die, likewise the FOOL and the BRUTISH person perish, and leave their WEALTH to others. 11 Their inward THOUGHT is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names. 12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.  14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. 15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah. 16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased; 17 for when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him. 18 Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself. 19 He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light. 20 Man that is in HONOUR, and UNDERSTANDETH not, is like the beasts that perish” Psalms 49:13-20.

HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND LED THEM ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT

By Leave a Comment

HE BROUGHT THEM OUT OF EGYPT AND LED THEM ON EAGLES’ FLIGHT: NONE WAS LEFT FEEBLE!

“Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself” Exodus 19:4.

There’s always a day of questioning and examining the dedication and commitment of one’s genuine followership of God in Christ Jesus stead. And such it was, when a day of cross examination of Christ Jesus disciples loyalty and knowledge and understanding of Him, in the cause and course of following Him to be discipled as disciples; this happened after days, months and years of Christ Disciples had being called out to be following Him – while in His humanity cause/purpose in order to fulfill the Father God assignment. Jesus Christ asked His disciples two profound questions while in humanity, and one was a generalised question, while the other was very personal. Herein are the lines of questioning:

** The first was – who do men (the public – Society, community) say I am?

** And the second was – who do you as a person know and understand and say I am?

It was very easy for them to ANSWER the first question. But the second was challenging, unexpected and troubling – because it’s personalised not as a group but as Individuals.

Thank God Apostle Peter who by God’s personal REVELATION to him, rescued the moment, gave an ANSWER as enjoined in Matthew 16:13-21. That ANSWER paved the FOUNDATION of the Churches (body) of Christ for which you are a member in particular as written in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And from the answer that Apostle Peter (who then was known as Simon bar Jona) gave by REVELATION, we’ve come to know, that it’s as we are LED by God through REVELATION, that His PURPOSE in our individual and bodily members in Christ Jesus, will be made REVEALED and MANIFEST; therein we can edify each other in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10/Romans 8:9-20.

You need to know for sure and full well, that outside God’s REVEAL knowledge, is man MADE structure which could be but not limited to: Religious creed, Man-made dogmas, Man Make-believe, Philosophy, Traditions of men and such like. All these UNREVEALED knowledge, makes God’s WORD to be of no EFFECT in our LIFE (on earth) and GODLINESS (Godly Living – the heavenly mindfulness); and to ensure our ONWARD and OUTWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead – [Matthew 15:6; Mark 7:13; 1 Corinthians 2:1-10; Ephesians 1:17-23; 1 Thessalonians 2:13].

And today, if you are to be CROSS-EXAMINED and ASKED the same line of questions by Christ Jesus as He did ask His Disciples that became Apostles, what PERSONAL ANSWER will you give? Will you own your ANSWER as a measure that defines your today and tomorrow? For it’s what you picture of Him in you and you in Him, that makes all the difference in your doing life and living godly by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. James 1:22-25; Philemon 1:6.

Know for certainly and to be assured, that God did not only BROUGHT the children of Israel from the BONDAGES and CAPTIVITY of EGYPT to lead them to a nowhere and He never left them at nowhere either; but He LED them by the EAGLES’ FLIGHT all the way to their PROMISED land of Canaan. The glorious resultant of that LEADERSHIP of God by EAGLE’S WINGS, made NONE who allowed Him to LEAD to be FEEBLE. As such, even their ENEMY and COHORTS was at DREAD because of God’s presence and leadership lead, in their midst.

“. . . 37 He BROUGHT them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not ONE FEEBLE PERSON among their tribes. 38 Egypt was GLAD when they departed: for the FEAR (DREAD) OF THEM fell upon them . . .” Psalms 105.

If indeed, you BELIEVE that God had saved you, washed you, sanctified and justified you by the REDEMPTION DID and DEED in Christ Jesus, why not let Him LEAD you on EAGLES’ FLIGHT. That’s the PATH that enables us to THRIVE in LIFE and GODLINESS, even as He has GIVEN us the access by His divine nature, which we’ve come to put on as our inheritance in the light, by Christ Jesus – Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:2-4; Ephesians 1:3-14.

Therefore, in order not to be FEEBLE in God, whom we’ve claimed to WORSHIP WORTHILY and SERVE ACCEPTABLY, let us do the meaningful acts of grace in this wise: That’s to say – let’s not just STOP and SETTLE on being BROUGHT out from our BONDAGE/BONDAGES from Egypt (Sin), but let us ALLOW God to LEAD us on EAGLES’ FLIGHT all the way. That’s the way to AUGUST our FAITH in Christ Jesus stead – (1 Corinthians 2:11-16/Psalms 16:11/Proverbs 4:18-23).

It’s as a result of not being LED by God in scriptural terms that many have found themselves in SEVERAL RELIGIOUS bondages. That is, people creating their own PUPPET religious guide and guard by their blindfolded lead knowledge and vain understanding – Romans 10:1-4; Hosea 4:6; Isaiah 5:13-15.

I PLEAD and BEG you today, to let GO of yourself made religion and let God LEAD you. You will NEVER have any cause to REGRET and be FEEBLE in Christ Jesus stead.

May you be BLESSED In LIFE and GRACE – GODLY LIVING. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“As an EAGLE stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did LEAD him, and there was no STRANGE god with him. 13 He MADE him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he MADE him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER

By Leave a Comment

TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER: THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON – EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT!

“Dear brothers, is your life FULL OF DIFFICULTIES and TEMPTATIONS? Then be HAPPY, 3 for when the way is ROUGH, your PATIENCE has a chance to GROW. 4 So let it GROW, and don’t try to SQUIRM OUT of your problems. For when your PATIENCE is finally in FULL BLOOM, then you will be READY for anything, STRONG IN CHARACTER, FULL AND COMPLETE” James 1:2-4 (Living Bible TLB).

Sometimes doing life by the book, and the right things as expected in all goodness, may seems to be unfair in some or many occasions; and getting the expected helps to ensure that the good decisions that one have made or to make in order to accomplish the intended plans, purposes and pursuits seems unfounded or eluded. I know the feelings and understand such circumstances. And if that’s your circumstances, God is good and faithful, true and sure to answer you in all MATTERS in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

However, no matter how unfair doing life and doing the right things may seems to you today, know full well that God will eventually meet you at the point of you need, FOR TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOREVER; and as long as you keep on keeping up in Faith, and as one that has a trusting spirit on God’s faithfulness and to His promises, there’s going to be an ANSWER.

Know full well and assured, that every challenges has an appointed time, that is – an end game time and date set to it under the sun no matter how long it last or stays; the Holy Writ indicates that – the expectations of the one who keeps on keeping up to maintain a right standing with God in trial times will not be cut off as written:

“For SURELY there is an END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:8.

When you are assured and insured as the Patriarch Abraham in God’s faithfulness to His promises, there will be hope against hope, and your tough times will never last forever; more so, God’s divine intervention will cause all things to work together for your good, happiness and peace. So did God to His promise to Abraham. All things eventually came together to a perfect, complete and whole answers to all expectations of God.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” Romans 8:28.

“. . . I have made you a FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, BEFORE WHOM HE BELIEVED, even God . . . Who (Abraham) AGAINST HOPE BELIEVED IN HOPE, that he might be a father of many nations . . . being FULLY PERSUADED that, what He (God) had promised, He was ABLE also to PERFORM . . .” Romans 4:17-25.

So today, no matter how much you’ve war to do the right things and the journey seems long or longer, you need to keep on keeping up in faith. For faith is the VICTORY to overcome all trials of your journey in order to thrive and be more than conquerors over the world system of doing life that has stood in your path of progress and success. Faith, which is the corresponding action on what you believe on God’s WORD will surely locate you with your expectations as written:

“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.

THERE MAY BE TOUGH TIMES – BUT TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST FOR EVER. THE TOUGH IN FAITH WILL ALWAYS KEEP ON KEEPING ON, EVEN WHEN ALL THINGS COMES TO A HALT.

I pray that our good and faithful, true and sure God, will keep you in grace and strengthen you courageously and keep you keeping on in faith, in Christ Jesus stead – until your BLESSEDNESS in Him is actualised meaningfully and purposefully.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials. 3 Be assured that the testing of your faith [through experience] produces endurance [leading to spiritual maturity, and inner peace]. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result and do a thorough work, so that you may be perfect and completely developed [in your faith], lacking in nothing . . . 12 Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God” [for temptation does not originate from God, but from our own flaws]; for God cannot be tempted by [what is] evil, and He Himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion)” James 1:2-4, 12-14. (Amplified).

“Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation]. 13 No temptation [regardless of its source] has overtaken or enticed you that is not common to human experience [nor is any temptation unusual or beyond human resistance]; but God is faithful [to His word—He is compassionate and trustworthy], and He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability [to resist], but along with the temptation He [has in the past and is now and] will [always] provide the way out as well, so that you will be able to endure it [without yielding, and will overcome temptation with joy]” 1 Corinthians 10:12-13. Amplified.

“CASTING ALL YOUR CARE upon him; for he CARETH for you. 8 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. 11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” 1 Peter 5:7-11.

“For God is not UNRIGHTEOUS (UNFAITHFUL, UNGRATEFUL) to forget your WORK and LABOUR of love, which ye have SHEWED toward his name, in that ye have MINISTERED to the saints, and DO MINISTER. 11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the FULL ASSURANCE of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be not SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT THE PROMISES” Hebrews 6:10-12 Emphasis Mine.

“Let us HOLD FAST the PROFESSION of our FAITH without wavering; (for He is FAITHFUL that promised;) . . . 35 Cast Not Away therefore your CONFIDENCE, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of PATIENCE, that, after ye have done the WILL of God, ye might RECEIVE the promise. 37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. 38 Now the just shall LIVE by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. 39 But we are not of them who DRAW BACK unto PERDITION; but of them that BELIEVE to the SAVING of the soul” Hebrews 10:23, 35-39.
