MARCH 2023 – DARE TO LIVE BY GOD’S POWER AND GRACE

“And He went up on the mountain (TO PRAY) and CALLED to Him those He Himself wanted (CHOSEN). And they came to Him. 14 Then He APPOINTED (ORDAINED, ENDOWED) twelve, that they might BE (BELONG) with Him and that He might SEND them out to PREACH (BECOME), 15 and to have POWER (STRENGHT, CAPACITY, ENABLING) to HEAL (FUNCTION OVER) sicknesses and to cast out demons” Mark 3:13-15 Emphasis Mine.

God wants you to be strong and strengthen in LIFE and GODLINESS – which is GODLY LIVING. And the possible resource to FUNCTION and BECOME in order to being strong and strengthened in LIFE and GODLINESS, is by your DARING to live by God’s enabling – POWER and GRACE that’s given to us in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 4:31-33; Romans 5:1-2; 2 Peter 1:1-4; Acts 1:8; Luke 24:49.

Apostle Paul could be emboldened to DO ALL THINGS through Christ Jesus who strengthens and keeps him stronger and stronger because of the enabling – POWER and GRACE in Christ Jesus stead. This HELPS his lack and limitations; and turns all things seemingly failing into a new phase of sufficiency; and his weakness – failures and infirmities – into strength. It’s Christ Jesus enabling POWER and GRACE that enables Apostle Paul to FUNCTION and to BECOME in Life and Godly Living in all you could comprehend in his exploits in the kingdom cause and fulfilment in life and ministry.

God wants you to THRIVE and not SURVIVE in DOING Life and LIVING Godly wherein you are called and endowed with ALL THINGS – (2 Peter 1:2-4). Hence you need to ask yourself lots of questions to enable you know if you are living by God’s POWER and GRACE or by your own ABILITIES.

As such you need to ask yourself series of questions, by considering all your rising early and coming late in day-to-day routines and schedules if it’s in scriptural compliance with God’s enabling POWER and GRACE as in these but not limited:

** How strong or strengthen are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How sufficient are you today in doing Life and being Godly.

** How weak and insufficient are you to Life and Godly Living demands.

** How do you endeavour to FUNCTION in order to BECOME with MEANINGFUL FULFILLMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

** How am you fulfilling God’s given PURPOSE in life – is it by His POWER and GRACE or by own intents and ability.

All these above and many other quests that are not mentioned, you need to present to yourself in the pursuits of your CAUSE and COURSE in your daily Life journeys to FUNCTION and BECOME in God’s reverential PURPOSE in your life as Jesus did. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Romans 8:28; Ephesians 1:11.

Be Blessed in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Romans 5:1-2.

“I CAN DO ALL THINGS through Christ who STRENGTHENS me” Philippians 4:13.

“Each time He said, “MY GRACE is all you need. MY POWER works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the POWER of Christ can WORK through me” 2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved. 7 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins, according to the riches of his grace . . .11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will” Ephesians 1:3-7, 11.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS CHRIST – THE POWER OF GOD!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

God’s enabling POWER will AUGUST you beyond human capacity; and position you in life and grace, far beyond human compression and limitations; and will give you such wisdom to innovate, create, and initiate the good for human consumption; and will make you a true and genuine witness of God’s TRUTH in humanity; and many such like in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And it’s gracious to know also that our Saviour and Lord Jesus, who is the centre person of the preaching of the Gospel of the cross, He is THE POWER of God as He’s of THE WISDOM of God, to both the Jews and the Gentiles, in defining the make up of THE CHURCH of God, in Christ Jesus stead, as it’s written. Amen.

“For the PREACHING OF THE CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by WISDOM knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

The term or name AUGUST thus means to INSPIRE (or inspiring), to REVERENCE, to have in ADMIRATION, to uphold SUPREME, to have in DIGNITY OR GRANDEUR, to be MAJESTIC, VENERABLE, EMINENT, GRAND AND LORDLY. And in line with the MONTH AUGUST THEME, which is to “AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER” in Christ Jesus stead, you can infer to Month AUGUST as a Month to be DIGNIFIED, to be REVERED, to be ADMIRED, to be MAJESTIC, to be EMINENT, to be VENERABLE, to be GRAND and more of such like . . . as you ensure that you are enabled by God’s power.

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS DID, SO WERE THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES AND FELLOW BELIEVER’S!

“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 8:28-30.

The power of God is the enabling of God to accomplish His PURPOSE in your life. Hence, a PURPOSELESS living lifestyle, can’t receive God’s POWER to enable the actualisation of the set out divine PURPOSE of God – in the individual – both in life and godliness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will . . .” Ephesians 1:3-12.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, live for God’s given CAUSE and PURPOSE in humanity to accomplish God’s intent for humanity. And for that PURPOSE to be accomplished He was not only ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit, He was also EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit, to fulfill that PURPOSE under God. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Luke 4:1-2, 14. Thus, indicating that Christ Jesus in humanity, in order for Him to fulfill God’s PURPOSE, and be able to bear WITNESS of the Gospel truth, could only have accomplished it all by the given POWER of God for that purpose. John 18:37 (John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25).

Just know today for sure and assuredly, that God’s POWER is not a GIVEN for NOTHING. It’s for the PURPOSE of being a WITNESS of God, to humanity in all capacity of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. These places are thus but not limited: marriage, family, ministry, career, business, enterprise, relationship, leadership and such like. In all, it’s about being God’s representative and ambassador with the message of reconciliation to humanity through every avenue of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Ephesians 6:20.

The Disciples of Jesus Christ that turns Apostles, live to bear WITNESS of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, by the enabling POWER of God in His grace, that was bestowed upon them. Long before Christ Jesus was done of His humanity cause and purpose, He did informed and assured them and to us of today, of the promised POWER of God toward them and us of today, which will give the enabling of fulfilling God’s PURPOSE in humanity for any that comes to Him. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:33.

In summary, one can say that, the essence of God’s POWER in an individual Christian, is to fullfil God’s PURPOSE in the individual, in order to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 8:28-30. Hence, if you seek or are seeking after God’s enabling POWER in your life, ensure you’ve resolved the God’s PURPOSE in your life, otherwise you get NOTHING from God, but the counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood, just as many that have been BEWITCHED into SORCERIES as Simon of Acts 8:9-24, who goes about claiming as being attributed with the great POWER of God, in self-denial and self-deception to himself and his followers.

I hereby employ you to – AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER IN CHRIST JESUS, as Jesus Christ DID experience in humanity, and so were, THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVER’S, in Christ Jesus stead did experience. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and HEALING all that were OPPRESSED of the devil; for God was WITH him” Acts 10:38.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. . . 14 And Jesus RETURNED IN THE POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 (John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25).

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” Acts 3:6.

“And with great POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear WITNESS of that Light . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me” John 1:6-8, 15.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED”  Romans 8:28-30.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20.

AFD JUNE 2024 EDITION

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2024: THE MONTH OF ENACTING – “THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS!”

“Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the CURSE of the Law and its CONDEMNATION by BECOMING a CURSE for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all RECEIVE [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP Classic Edition.

The MONTH JUNE, is the sixth [6] month and the end month of the first half of the calendar year, in the Gregorian and Julian calendar Month; and it’s the 2nd of the 4th in number, of the months of thirty [30] days in the twelve [12] months annual calendar.

And as in Month JUNE, the name JUNE, is also a lovely given name to the female gender of the sexes which is of great significance. For the Month JUNE as in the name JUNE, expresses in essence, the FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicate how that God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live in His BLESSEDNESS while fulfilling His PURPOSE in us MEANINGFULLY, in all of our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ of the scriptures. (Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18].

The BLESSED life in Christ Jesus is about GOD’S BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. And ENACTING the BLESSED life, is about ensuring, living and acting out in the fulness, the blessedness of God’s purpose in our life meaningfully and unreservedly.

And ensuring to live the assured BLESSED life  and BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, indicates in living in God’s EMPOWERING realm of fulfilling His purpose in your life [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10]. For the BLESSED life of God doesn’t operates in emptiness or vain imagination or in human strength, power and might [Zach 4:6; 1 Samuel 2:9; 2 Corinthians 3:1-6]; it thus operates and authenticate by God’s EMPOWERING us, which is by the Holy Spirit that EMPOWERS us, SEAL us, ANOINTS us, GUARANTEES us and DWELLS within us as GIVEN of God the Father to us as by the redemption default in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Acts 1:8; Luke 24:59, Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17; 2 Corinthians 1:21-22].

For to be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus is to be EMPOWERED of God by the Holy Spirit to succeed, to achieve and to become; and more so, to be fulfilled productively, efficiently and effectively [effectually] in the ASSURED WORD of God.

The BLESSEDNESS of God in character [Galatians 5:22-23] and charisma [1 Corinthians 12:7-11] and in ministerial [1 Corinthians 12:28-31; Ephesians 4:7-16; Romans 12:3-8] are all being empowered, synergised and manifested by the Holy Spirit of God. It thus means as I will be laying out through this Month that God’s BLESSEDNESS in the New Creation Testament is only made a REALITY in us, as we do life and live godly, by the Holy Spirit of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Welcome to Month June. It’s my earnest PRAYERS that you are able to enact THE BLESSED LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, by the Holy Spirit of promise that makes all things possible by God in Christ Jesus. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED US with all spiritual BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN US in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath MADE US ACCEPTED in the beloved” Ephesians 1:3-6.

“THE BLESSING of the Lord, it MAKETH RICH, and he ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in JERUSALEM, and in all JUDÆA, and in SAMARIA, and unto the UTTERMOST part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be ENDUED with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the world CANNOT receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [EMPOWERING us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has appropriated us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to GUARANTEE the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22/AMP.

“Just as Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, [as conformity to God’s will and purpose—so it is with you also]. 7 So understand that it is the people who live by faith [with confidence in the power and goodness of God] who are [the true] sons of Abraham. 8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, proclaimed the good news [of the Savior] to Abraham in advance [with this promise], saying, “In you shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then those who are people of faith [whether Jew or Gentile] are blessed and favored by God [and declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with Him] along with Abraham, the believer . . . 13 Christ PURCHASED our FREEDOM and REDEEMED us from the curse of the Law and its condemnation by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs [crucified] on a tree (cross)”— 14 in order that in Christ Jesus THE BLESSING of Abraham might also come to the Gentiles, so that we would all receive [the realization of] the PROMISE of the [Holy] Spirit through faith . . . 26 For you [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified and] are all children of God [set apart for His purpose with full rights and privileges] through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union with the Christ, the Anointed] have clothed yourselves with Christ [that is, you have taken on His characteristics and values]. 28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. 29 And if you belong to Christ [if you are in Him], then you are Abraham’s descendants, and [spiritual] heirs according to [God’s] promise” Galatians 3:13-14/AMP.

“And it shall come to pass, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: 2 and all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, IF THOU SHALT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE of the Lord thy God . . . 9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, IF THOU SHALT KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways . . . 13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; IF THAT THOU HEARKEN UNTO THE COMMANDMENTS of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 and thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them” Deuteronomy 28:1-14.

“Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” Acts 20:34-35.

“What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness . . . 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (as it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were . . . 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; 24 but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; 25 who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” Romans 4:1-25.

SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER!

“Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR (ERRONEOUS, MISTAKEN), not KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES, nor THE POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 (Emphasis Mine).

POWER TO “HEAL SICKNESSES AND DISEASES AND CAST OUT DEVILS” IN GOD’S BLESSEDNESS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER

AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER: JESUS DID, SO WERE THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES AND FELLOW BELIEVER’S!

“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 8:28-30.

The power of God is the enabling of God to accomplish His PURPOSE in your life. Hence, a PURPOSELESS living lifestyle, can’t receive God’s POWER to enable the actualisation of the set out divine PURPOSE of God – in the individual – both in life and godliness, in Christ Jesus stead.

“. . . 11 in whom also we have OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINATED according to the PURPOSE of him who worketh all things after the COUNSEL of his own will . . .” Ephesians 1:3-12.

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, live for God’s given CAUSE and PURPOSE in humanity to accomplish God’s intent for humanity. And for that PURPOSE to be accomplished He was not only ANOINTED with the Holy Spirit, He was also EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit, to fulfill that PURPOSE under God. 1 John 3:8; John 18:37; Luke 4:1-2, 14. Thus, indicating that Christ Jesus in humanity, in order for Him to fulfill God’s PURPOSE, and be able to bear WITNESS of the Gospel truth, could only have accomplished it all by the given POWER of God for that purpose. John 18:37 (John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25).

Just know today for sure and assuredly, that God’s POWER is not a GIVEN for NOTHING. It’s for the PURPOSE of being a WITNESS of God, to humanity in all capacity of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. These places are thus but not limited: marriage, family, ministry, career, business, enterprise, relationship, leadership and such like. In all, it’s about being God’s representative and ambassador with the message of reconciliation to humanity through every avenue of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Ephesians 6:20.

The Disciples of Jesus Christ that turns Apostles, live to bear WITNESS of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, by the enabling POWER of God in His grace, that was bestowed upon them. Long before Christ Jesus was done of His humanity cause and purpose, He did informed and assured them and to us of today, of the promised POWER of God toward them and us of today, which will give the enabling of fulfilling God’s PURPOSE in humanity for any that comes to Him. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:33.

In summary, one can say that, the essence of God’s POWER in an individual Christian, is to fullfil God’s PURPOSE in the individual, in order to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 8:28-30. Hence, if you seek or are seeking after God’s enabling POWER in your life, ensure you’ve resolved the God’s PURPOSE in your life, otherwise you get NOTHING from God, but the counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood, just as many that have been BEWITCHED into SORCERIES as Simon of Acts 8:9-24, who goes about claiming as being attributed with the great POWER of God, in self-denial and self-deception to himself and his followers.

I hereby employ you to – AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER IN CHRIST JESUS, as Jesus Christ DID experience in humanity, and so were, THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVER’S, in Christ Jesus stead did experience. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“How God ANOINTED Jesus of Nazareth with the HOLY GHOST and with POWER: who went about doing good, and HEALING all that were OPPRESSED of the devil; for God was WITH him” Acts 10:38.

“And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. . . 14 And Jesus RETURNED IN THE POWER of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about . . . 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath ANOINTED me to preach the GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord . . .” Luke 4:1-22.

“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this CAUSE came I into the world, that I should bear WITNESS unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37 (John 5:31-33, 36-37; John 8:18; John 10:25).

“And, behold, I send the PROMISE of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER from on high” Luke 24:49.

“But ye shall receive POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” Acts 1:8.

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in all the world for a WITNESS unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14.

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I THEE: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” Acts 3:6.

“And with great POWER gave the apostles WITNESS of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great GRACE was upon them all” Acts 4:33.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a WITNESS, to bear WITNESS of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light but was sent to bear WITNESS of that Light . . . 15 John bare WITNESS of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me” John 1:6-8, 15.

“And we know that ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER for good to them that love God, to them who are the CALLED according to his PURPOSE. 29 For whom he did FOREKNOW, he also did PREDESTINATE to be CONFORMED to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did PREDESTINATE, them he also CALLED: and whom he called, them he also JUSTIFIED: and whom he justified, them he also GLORIFIED” Romans 8:28-30.

In all, it’s about being God’s representative and ambassador with the message of reconciliation to humanity through every avenue of doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Acts 1:8; Matthew 24:14; 2 Corinthians 5:17-20; Ephesians 6:20.

The Disciples of Jesus Christ that turns Apostles, live to bear WITNESS of the Gospel of God in Christ Jesus, by the enabling POWER of God in His grace, that was bestowed upon them. Long before Christ Jesus was done of His humanity cause and purpose, He did informed and assured them and to us of today, of the promised POWER of God toward them and us of today, which will give the enabling of fulfilling God’s PURPOSE in humanity for any that comes to Him. Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 4:33.

In summary, one can say that, the essence of God’s POWER in an individual Christian, is to fullfil God’s PURPOSE in the individual, in order to ensure God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Romans 8:28-30. Hence, if you seek or are seeking after God’s enabling POWER in your life, ensure you’ve resolved the God’s PURPOSE in your life, otherwise you get NOTHING from God, but the counterfeit, adulteration and falsehood, just as many that have been BEWITCHED into SORCERIES as Simon of Acts 8:9-24, who goes about claiming as being attributed with the great POWER of God, in self-denial and self-deception to himself and his followers.

I hereby employ you to – AUGUST YOUR LIFE BY GOD’S ENABLING POWER IN CHRIST JESUS, as Jesus Christ DID experience in humanity, and so were, THE FIRST AND EARLY APOSTLES and FELLOW BELIEVER’S, in Christ Jesus stead did experience. Amen.
