LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25].
 
For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/Feel. And that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual. Makes one incline to sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.
 
“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.
 
And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Then you can bring under control, that’s subjugate, the acts of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in all ramifications and irrespective.
 
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the MASTERY IS TEMPERATE [DISCIPLINE] in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY, and bring it into SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27/Emphasis Mine.
 
And while you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE able then to define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.
 
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
 
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
 
Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.
 
“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.
 
May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.
 
And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:
* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.
* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL
* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.
 
As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.
 
“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.
 
“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.
 
And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
 
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

By Leave a Comment

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THE THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10/Emphasis Mine.

Money (Finance) is a de facto medium of exchange. On it’s own, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ and to simply say – “THE LOVE OF THE MONEY” on itself, is the ROOT of ALL EVIL.

Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence that answers and it’s answering man’s QUEST in doing life, especially when diligently, wisely and prudently obtained and expended without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES and side EFFECTS especially when obtained by GREED and COVETEOUSNESS.

Herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE LOVE OF MONEY – that’s obtained by GREED and COVETOUSNESS and such like:

  1. It causes WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The SLEEP of a LABOURING man is SWEET, whether he eat little or much: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12.

“The SLEEP of a WORKING man is SWEET, whether he eats little or much; BUT THE FULL STOMACH (GREED) OF THE RICH [WHO HUNGERS FOR EVEN MORE] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

  1. It causes DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows greediness and covetousness to breed in all forms, thereby create discomfort and unhealthy sphere.

“He that LOVETH SILVER shall not be SATISFIED with SILVER; nor he that LOVETH ABUNDANCE with INCREASE: this is also vanity” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“He who LOVES MONEY will not be SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES ABUNDANCE with its GAIN. This too is VANITY (EMPTINESS)” Ecclesiastes 5:10/Amplified

  1. It causes TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of SET RULES and REGULATIONS, even the STATUTORY law, in order to get and acquire more at any cost – which many have become accustomed.

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: BUT HE THAT MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.  21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH hath AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“The TRUSTWORTHY person will get a RICH reward, but A PERSON WHO WANTS QUICK RICHES WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. 21 Showing partiality is never good, YET SOME WILL DO WRONG FOR A MERE PIECE OF BREAD. 22 GREEDY PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH QUICK but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty” Proverbs 28:20 NLT.

Money is good in itself when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to any and every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENTED, live GODLY, and to keep temptation, worry – anxiety and dissatisfaction at bay.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order in and for the community.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” 1 Timothy 6:10/Emphasis Mine.

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” Ecclesiastes 10:19.

“If any man teach OTHERWISE, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. 7 For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can CARRY NOTHING OUT” 1 Timothy 6:3-7.

“But if anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, and especially for those of his HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED THE FAITH and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER” 1 Timothy 5:8/NKJV

“WISDOM is good with an inheritance: and by it there is PROFIT to them that see the sun. 12 FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: STAY AWAY FROM ALL BELIEVERS WHO LIVE IDLE LIVES AND DON’T FOLLOW THE TRADITION THEY RECEIVED FROM US. 7 For you know that you ought to IMITATE us. We were NOT IDLE when we were with you. 8 WE NEVER ACCEPTED FOOD FROM ANYONE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. We WORKED hard day and night so we would NOT BE A BURDEN to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an EXAMPLE to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “THOSE UNWILLING TO WORK WILL NOT GET TO EAT.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are LIVING IDLE LIVES, REFUSING TO WORK AND MEDDLING IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. 12 We COMMAND such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to SETTLE DOWN AND WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12/NLT

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH: THE INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER – TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUNDS IN GRACE!

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace, supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.

Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled and mean people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29.

Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus.

However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertains to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons:

** VIRTUE

** KNOWLEDGE

** TEMPERANCE

** PATIENCE

** GODLINESS

** BROTHERLY KINDNESS

** CHARITY (LOVE)

These add-ons ingredients of CHARACTER, makes you abound in your CHARISMATIC grace, and more so, as you stay DILIGENT in FAITH. It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS”

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway of living and doing life, as you ADD TO YOUR FAITH THESE NECESSARY ADD-ONS INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER, TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

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

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before kings; he shall NOT STAND before MEAN men” Proverbs 22:29.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 HEARING OF THY LOVE AND FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that THE COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADD TO YOUR FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if these things be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER BE BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS IS BLIND, AND CANNOT SEE AFAR OFF, AND HATH FORGOTTEN THAT HE WAS PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1-11.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25]. For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/FEEL – and that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual; and as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.

“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.

And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. And you can then define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.

“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.

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

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.

“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.

May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.

And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:

* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.

* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL

* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.

As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.

“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.

GOD IS FAITHFUL

By Leave a Comment

GOD IS FAITHFUL: FAITHFULNESS IS REQUIRED FOR ONE TO ABOUND IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS!

“Let a man so ACCOUNT of us, as of the MINISTERS of Christ, and STEWARDS of the mysteries of God. 2 Moreover it is REQUIRED in STEWARDS, that a MAN BE FOUND FAITHFUL” 1 Corinthians 4:1-2.

I believe in PRAYERS; and so in FASTING, as the Scriptures expects of the New Creation Believer’s in Christ Jesus Stead, Amen; and such as it’s written – WHEN you PRAY and WHEN you FAST – as in the SCRIPTURAL context of Matthew 6:5, 7, 16 (5-18). And in as much as in all our glorification and gratifications to ascertain spirituality in our PRAYERS and FASTINGS, and as some have attributes it as their main hallmarks to showcase for doing life and living godly, be it known that God expectations from His children in all, is the act of FAITHFULNESS.

God wants us in all our spiritual and humanly endeavour, to be FAITHFUL in His house – IN ALL WAY – and not in SOMETIMES only. It thus means that, in all our dedication and commitment tendency to the course and cause of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus, we are ordered to be FAITHFUL to ensure that we partake in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. That’s what God truly DEMANDS from us, in all honesty – a genuine life of being FAITHFUL to Him, in Christ Jesus stead, by the Holy Spirit, as in His WORD.

And being FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is to be OBEDIENT to His WORD. Meaning the measure of knowing you are FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS is by your OBEDIENCE to His WORD unreservedly and uncompromisingly. For He only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS when [and not if] OBEYED. For OBEYING God’s WORD is the only indicator of being HUMBLED before Him and not sacrifice.

“He hath SHEWED thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord REQUIRE of thee, but to DO JUSTLY, and to LOVE MERCY, and to WALK HUMBLY with thy God?” Micah 6:8.

“And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as GREAT DELIGHT in BURNT OFFERINGS and SACRIFICES, as in OBEYING THE VOICE of the Lord? Behold, to OBEY IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE, and to HEARKEN than the FAT OF RAMS. 23 For REBELLION is as the SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, and STUBBORNNESS is as INIQUITY and IDOLATRY. Because thou hast REJECTED THE WORD of the Lord, he hath also Rejected thee from being king” 1 Samuel 15:22-23.

And we as AMBASSADORS – REPRESENTATIVES, the CUSTODIAN and STEWARD of God’s Kingdom CAUSE on earth, the true hallmark of our stewardship in His cause through us is – FAITHFULNESS. Being FAITHFUL in all His ways. Meaning, it’s for us to live FAITHFUL in all phases that pertains to doing LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead. Which is attributed to being HUMBLE and OBEDIENCE to His WORD – instructions in context.

FAITHFULNESS – being FAITHFUL, in the utilisation of all gifts and talents along with the commensurate resources that is endowed upon you in relation to God and humanity is the sum requirements of God from you. So that you can boldly say, that in all CONSCIENCE of FAITH in FAITHFULNESS, you are free and void of OFFENCE TOWARD God and mankind. CAN YOU ACCLAIM TO SAY THAT TODAY?

“He that is FAITHFUL in that which is LEAST is FAITHFUL also in MUCH: and he that is UNJUST in the LEAST is UNJUST also in MUCH. 11 If therefore ye have not been FAITHFUL in the UNRIGHTEOUS mammon, who will COMMIT to your TRUST the TRUE RICHES? 12 And if ye have not been FAITHFUL in that which is ANOTHER man’s, who shall give you that which is YOUR OWN? 13 No servant can SERVE two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye CANNOT SERVE God and mammon” Luke 16:10-13.

It’s time to examine oneself and make a genuine change of heart, so that the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE in God’s LOVINGKINDNESS and BLESSEDNESS, may come to you now and always in Him, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“EXAMINE YOURSELVES, whether ye be in the faith; PROVE your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, EXCEPT YE BE REPROBATES?” 2 Corinthians 13:5.

It’s my dearest prayers that we would be found FAITHFUL and in FAITHFULNESS in all our ways in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”

By Leave a Comment

GREED AND COVETOUSNESS – “THE LOVE OF MONEY”: THE THREE MAJOR CAUSES AND THEIR SIDE EFFECTS!

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

Money (Finance) is a de facto medium of exchange. On it’s own, it’s not EVIL or an EVIL or the ROOT of EVIL or ROOT of all EVIL as some acclaimed; but it is ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ and to simply say – “THE LOVE OF THE MONEY” itself, that is, the ROOT of ALL EVIL.

Money is GOOD. It’s a great means of defence that answers and it’s answering man’s QUEST in doing life, especially when diligently, wisely and prudently obtained and expended without prejudice and dissimulation.

However, ‘THE LOVE OF MONEY’ has some CAUSES and side EFFECTS especially when obtained by GREED and COVETEOUSNESS.

Herein are THREE WARNING SIGNS in order not to be in a position of being captivated and enslaved by – THE LOVE OF MONEY – obtained by GREED and COVETOUSNESS:

#1. It causes WORRY: A lack of Sleep – sleepless moments when the balance sheet is not meeting expectations or overwhelmingly breaking your set point.

“The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: BUT THE ABUNDANCE OF THE RICH WILL NOT SUFFER HIM TO SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12.

“The sleep of a working man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; BUT THE FULL STOMACH (GREED) OF THE RICH [WHO HUNGERS FOR EVEN MORE] WILL NOT LET HIM SLEEP” Ecclesiastes 5:12/Amplified.

#2. It causes DISSATISFACTIONS: It allows greediness and covetousness to breed in all forms, thereby create discomfort and unhealthy sphere.

“He that LOVETH SILVER shall not be SATISFIED with SILVER; nor he that LOVETH ABUNDANCE with INCREASE: this is also vanity” Ecclesiastes 5:10.

“He who LOVES MONEY will not be SATISFIED with MONEY, nor he who LOVES ABUNDANCE with its GAIN. This too is vanity (emptiness)” Ecclesiastes 5:10/Amplified

#3. It causes TEMPTATION: It allows and leads to the breaking of set rules and regulations, even the statutory law, in order to get and acquire more at any cost – which many have become accustomed.

“A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: BUT HE THAT MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.  21 To have respect of persons is not good: FOR FOR A PIECE OF BREAD THAT MAN WILL TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH TO BE RICH hath AN EVIL EYE, and considereth not that POVERTY shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:20-22.

“The TRUSTWORTHY person will get a RICH reward, but A PERSON WHO WANTS QUICK RICHES WILL GET INTO TROUBLE. 21 Showing partiality is never good, YET SOME WILL DO WRONG FOR A MERE PIECE OF BREAD. 22 GREEDY PEOPLE TRY TO GET RICH QUICK but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty” Proverbs 28:20 NLT.

Money is good in itself when it’s made to serve or be a servant and not as lord to any and every vital and legal means of living and doing life. Make it your servant or errand tool only and not your life controller, then you will experience the PEACE of mind indescribable. With peace of mind one is able to be CONTENTED, live GODLY, and to keep temptation, worry – anxiety and dissatisfaction at bay.

I pray you will not be entangled in bondage as a money lover for a mere self and selfish gratifications at the expense of others, the rule of law, and the decency and order in and for the community.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For THE LOVE of MONEY is the ROOT of ALL EVIL: which while some COVETED after, they have ERRED from the FAITH, and PIERCED themselves through with many SORROWS” (1 Timothy 6:10) (Emphasis Mine).

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: BUT MONEY ANSWERETH ALL THINGS” (Ecclesiastes 10:19).

“If any man teach OTHERWISE, and consent not to WHOLESOME WORDS, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, SUPPOSING that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. 7 For we brought NOTHING into this world, and it is certain we can CARRY NOTHING OUT” 1 Timothy 6:3-7.

“But if anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR HIS OWN, and especially for those of his HOUSEHOLD, he has DENIED THE FAITH and is WORSE THAN AN UNBELIEVER” 1 Timothy 5:8/NKJV

“WISDOM is good with an inheritance: and by it there is PROFIT to them that see the sun. 12 FOR WISDOM IS A DEFENCE, AND MONEY IS A DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:11-12.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: STAY AWAY FROM ALL BELIEVERS WHO LIVE IDLE LIVES AND DON’T FOLLOW THE TRADITION THEY RECEIVED FROM US. 7 For you know that you ought to IMITATE us. We were NOT IDLE when we were with you. 8 WE NEVER ACCEPTED FOOD FROM ANYONE WITHOUT PAYING FOR IT. We WORKED hard day and night so we would NOT BE A BURDEN to any of you. 9 We certainly had the right to ask you to feed us, but we wanted to give you an EXAMPLE to follow. 10 Even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “THOSE UNWILLING TO WORK WILL NOT GET TO EAT.” 11 Yet we hear that some of you are LIVING IDLE LIVES, REFUSING TO WORK AND MEDDLING IN OTHER PEOPLE’S BUSINESS. 12 We COMMAND such people and urge them in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to SETTLE DOWN AND WORK TO EARN THEIR OWN LIVING” 2 Thessalonians 3:6-12/NLT

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING

By Leave a Comment

THE SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING: A KEY TO ENACT AND AUTHENTICATE YOU IN LIVING AND DOING LIFE WISELY!

A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5.

It’s true that a man of KNOWLEDGE is a man of strength; but a man of UNDERSTANDING is a man of wisdom – both to live and do life wisely – anywhere, any day and any time.

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

I hereby employ you expediently, to pray in line as in Ephesians 1:15-23 for the Spirit of understandable knowledge in the revelation spirit of wisdom and understanding – in order to live and do life wisely. For wisdom – the consequence of knowledge and understanding gives life and makes one to shine and radiate in glory.

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

Understanding emancipates and gives complete Freedom in all about life. For until you UNDERSTAND what you claim to KNOW, you are as good as the IGNORANT – UNINFORMED, UNPRODUCTIVE and ILL-EQUIPPED.

A mere PASSION (zeal) and KNOWLEDGE take one to nowhere until there’s an UNDERSTANDING of the knowledgeable passion (zeal).

Seek for UNDERSTANDING today in the light of the Scriptures, for God will open the eyes of your understanding and give you the enlightenment and illumination in LIFE and GRACE to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Therefore, I pray that the eyes of your understanding might be enlightened and illuminated, in LIFE and GRACE, to ensure the needed WISDOM that will give you the leverage and stability in your destined – PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT. Amen!

Herein is the PRAYERLINE of – Ephesians 1:15-23 to appropriate for yourself accordingly:

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in MY PRAYERS: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may GIVE to you the spirit of WISDOM and REVELATION in the KNOWLEDGE of Him, 18 the eyes of your UNDERSTANDING being enlightened; that you may KNOW what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” Ephesians 1:15-23 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“A WISE MAN IS STRONG; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:5

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVES FAVOUR: but the way of transgressors (ignorance) is hard (difficult, rough)’’ Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis mine).

“The man that WANDERS OUT OF THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the congregation of the dead (unproductive, ignorant and unwise people)” (Proverbs 21:6 (Emphasis mine).

“WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7).

“Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a MAN’S WISDOM MAKETH HIS FACE TO SHINE, and the boldness of his face shall be changed” Ecclesiastes 8:1.

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE ADD-ONS TO YOUR FAITH: THE INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER – TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE!

FAITH is – the legal and vital tender to do business with the heavens in the earthly affairs. We do BUSINESS in earthly affairs with men by MONETISING it – that is, by using FINANCE – Cash or Kind, in transactions; but in the Kingdom, we do BUSINESS in life and godliness with God by FAITH – built on His WORD, as a means of transactions in order to receive the heavenly enabling in our earthly affairs. And this act of God’s grace, supersedes and transcends the BUSINESS with men indeed. And is done by FAITH built on God’s infallible, unadulterated and authoritative WORD and not on fantasy or sentiments or on human dogmas and religious make belief and philosophy and such like.

Hence being DILIGENCE in FAITH it’s a necessity, for it pleases God. It accords heavens reward, it unveils and gives access to stand before kings (place of noble, honour, dignity and worth) and not in a place of obscure, unpredictable, unproductive, disgruntled and mean people. Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 22:29.

Therefore, it’s imperative to start your daily schedules and routines – being today, with a DILIGENT SERVICE OF FAITH with God. Keep the same spirit through the week, months and each passing years, you’ll experience for yourself, the awesome reward of diligent service and work by faith in Christ Jesus.

However, in all that the act of FAITH matters to one in life with God, there are some ADD-ONS that are vital to synergies the effectual results of our FAITH transaction and communication – in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. These vitalities that will ensure that our FAITH delivers to us all things that pertains to life and godliness are but not limited as in 2 Peter 1:1-11, in these add-ons:

** VIRTUE

** KNOWLEDGE

** TEMPERANCE

** PATIENCE

** GODLINESS

** BROTHERLY KINDNESS

** CHARITY (LOVE)

These add-ons ingredients of CHARACTER, makes you abound in your CHARISMATIC grace, and more so, as you stay DILIGENT in FAITH. It gives and makes the Kingdom default toward the HEAVENLY transaction in EARTHLY affairs seamless as we think on these THINGS as in the Holy Writ of Philippians 4:8, but not limited:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK ON THESE THINGS”

I pray you God’s grace, wisdom and speed in everyway of living and doing life, as you ADD TO YOUR FAITH THESE NECESSARY ADD-ONS INGREDIENTS OF CHARACTER, TO ENSURE YOUR CHARISMA ABOUND IN GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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.

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

“Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his BUSINESS? he shall STAND before kings; he shall NOT STAND before MEAN men” Proverbs 22:29.

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 HEARING OF THY LOVE AND FAITH, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that THE COMMUNICATION OF THY FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like PRECIOUS FAITH with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath given unto us all things that PERTAIN unto LIFE and GODLINESS, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, GIVING ALL DILIGENCE, ADD TO YOUR FAITH VIRTUE; and to virtue KNOWLEDGE; 6 and to knowledge TEMPERANCE; and to temperance PATIENCE; and to patience GODLINESS; 7 and to godliness BROTHERLY KINDNESS; and to brotherly kindness CHARITY. 8 For if these things be in you, and ABOUND, they make you that ye shall NEITHER BE BARREN NOR UNFRUITFUL in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But he that LACKETH THESE THINGS IS BLIND, AND CANNOT SEE AFAR OFF, AND HATH FORGOTTEN THAT HE WAS PURGED FROM HIS OLD SINS. 10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 11 for so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 1:1-11.

“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 remembering without ceasing your WORK OF FAITH, and LABOUR OF LOVE, and PATIENCE OF HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake” 1 Thessalonians 1:2-5.

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS

LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

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

It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.

For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE SENSE RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE AND TOUCH/FEEL – and that keeps one in the flesh and carnality – a lust and affection individual; and as such, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world.

But when you are “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER”, you are governed by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God and the flesh of the senses subjugated, in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. And you can then define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on the any subject in earthly affairs decision making.

If I may ask today and now as a Believer in Christ Jesus – Are you BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus?

May I remind you to know that Man as tripartite (triune) being, consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13); and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED.

And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:

* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.

* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL

* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.

“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.

And you are the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE something that your CONSCIENCE can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and give the hearing ears to listen to everyway, in doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good, will good happen by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SELAH – PAUSE And THINK.

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.

“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14 (Emphasis Mine).

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the DIVIDING asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.
