DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER

By Leave a Comment

DOING LIFE BY CHARISMA AND CHARACTER: IT’S MADE POSSIBLE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT IN REDEMPTION!
 
“As for you, the ANOINTING [the SPECIAL gift, the preparation] which you RECEIVED from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His ANOINTING teaches you [giving you insight through the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His ANOINTING has TAUGHT you, you must REMAIN in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]” 1 John 2:27/AMP.
 
Being CHARISMATIC is a gracious tool in life and godliness for any especially for the born again believer of God in Christ Jesus. But one’s CHARACTER is the only vehicle to sustain the CHARISMA in doing life and living godly and to continuously enjoy A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, in our REDEMPTION, in Christ Jesus stead.
 
It then means CHARISMA is of no PURPOSE, if one is found wanting in CHARACTER. It makes the whole PURPOSE of being MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION caricatured and laughable. For CHARACTER speaks of ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR, INTEGRITY and HONESTY, JUSTICE, TRUSTWORTHY and TRUTH and such like in the Holy Spirit that’s given unto us in redemption.
 
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is SHED [LAVISHED, SPREAD] abroad in our HEARTS by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
 
In life most people are most likely to be carried away by CHARISMA, which unfortunately is not sustainable in cause of time without character. Hence this WISDOM NUGGETS is needful for guidance as
 
I hereby state:
 
“The CHARISMA – capacity, talents and the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, enterprise and more, may TAKE you to the TOP, but only INTEGRITY, ATTITUDE, BEHAVIOUR and such like, the essence of CHARACTER, will sustain you there with honour and dignity”
 
However, to operate graciously and gracefully in life and godliness – CHARISMA and CHARACTER – are ESSENTIALS to doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY, in order to ensure a MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; and the NEED to continuously walk in and by the HOLY SPIRIT is imperative, to APPROPRIATE and ENACT these virtues of CHARISMA and CHARACTER on daily basis.
 
The knowing and understanding of these essential virtues indicates these scriptural context:
 
CHARISMA (capacity, productivity and talents) is an act of the GIFTS by the Holy Spirit, written in 1 Corinthians 12:9-12; 1 John 2:20, 27.
 
CHARACTER (attitude, behaviour, integrity, honesty and truth) is an act of the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit as written in Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20; John 15:1-16.
 
The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit by the WORD of God as in the Holy Writ.
 
Thriving in God’s BLESSEDNESS through balancing the essence of CHARISMA And CHARACTER makes doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus a complete Gospel.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
 
“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 20-21 (Amplified).
 
“These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you. 26 But the COMFORTER, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall TEACH you all things, and BRING all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you” John 14:25-26.
 
“But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man TEACH you: but as the same ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is TRUTH, and is NO LIE, and even as it hath TAUGHT you, ye shall ABIDE in him” 1 John 2:27.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION

MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION: THE PRINCIPAL PHASES TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND!

I have come to know and understand in over four decades walking and working in grace, that there are four (4) principle phases or acts of Redemption, that every Born Child of God in Christ MUST come to know and understand, to help them APPROPRIATE and ENACT their REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus with ease.

The KNOWING and UNDERSTANDING of these principle phases or acts of REDEMPTION will keep you afloat in grace as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; otherwise one will be a wanderer and wondering in the congregation of IGNORANCE no matter how long you’ve been around ‘in Christ’ or ‘in Church life’. Knowledge and understanding DELIVERS!

THESE PRINCIPAL PHASES ARE:

Phase 1: What God, through Christ DID FOR US in His great Substitution Work in Redemption.

Phase 2: What the Holy Spirit, through the WORD, DOES IN US in the New Birth and in the in-filling of the Holy Spirit.

Phase 3: What Jesus is DOING FOR US now in His Present-Day Ministry at the Right-Hand of Father God.

Phase 4: What His WORD and His LOVE DO THROUGH US in Gospel Ministry.

Knowing and understanding these will change your in look (Insights) and outlook (Foresights) in Redemption. Appropriating and Enacting your MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION will BECOME ease and norm in living and doing life.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY (PATH) of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (Ignorant, unproductive, inactive, inoperative)” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).

“GOOD UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the way of TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (Difficult, Challenging)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE UNTO US wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and REDEMPTION: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31.

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

By Leave a Comment

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

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

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

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

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

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

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

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

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

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

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

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

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

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

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

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

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

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

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

DESIRE AND ENSURE GOD’S POSSIBILITIES AS LIFE DEFAULT: BEGIN YOUR DAY LIFE BY THE WORD!

If you truly desire to ensure and be assured of the POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT lifestyle, the honest and only TRUTH is for you to begin your day life by THE WORD; this is the sure order to sort out and ensure and be assured that your day and life PUZZLES are  with ease and within scriptural context in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: 25 but THE WORD OF THE LORD ENDURETH FOR EVER. And this is THE WORD which by the gospel is preached unto you” 1 Peter 1:22-25.

And to sort and ensure a WORTH-LIFE for the living, there’s an answer which BLESSEDLY, is only in THE WORD, THE BIBLE – the Holy writ; and which I have term as the – ‘BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL.

The Holy BIBLE, the written WORD of God, is both INFORMATIVE and TRANSFORMATIVE; and has the first-hand, final and truthful ANSWER to fix every single questions or quests of anyone in LIFE and GODLINESS; and the AUTHOR  of the Holy Bible, is ever present in all moment to ANSWER every PUZZLE  of LIVING life; and the to give any desiring hearts the enabling on the HOW to do a life to the fullness of God’s grace, as it affects all about mankind and creation.

And in order to make a NEW and FRESH start as the set day work begins, you NEED to get hold of the BIBLE today for your LIVING-WORTH.  More so, there’s the need to get ALL your LIFE information and transformation from the only BOOK, whose AUTHOR, the ever present  HOLY SPIRIT, is ever present at the point of READING and STUDYING. And having the Holy Writ, will help you to know and understand your life puzzle, for the day called today, and your gracious tomorrow.

Just get CONNECTED and SYNCHRONIZE your day by THE WORD as your DEFAULT, all will be well and good again.

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH

By Leave a Comment

THE CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH: IT’S NOT A RELIGION!

“Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul: 26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the DISCIPLES were CALLED CHRISTIANS FIRST in Antioch” Acts 11:25-26.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is not a RELIGION; It’s only a RELIGION to you or to a person, when the HOLY SPIRIT is not your GOVERNOR and the LEADER of your being through God’s WORD, in life and godly living, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And this is the record, that God hath GIVEN to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in His Son. 12 He that HATH the Son hath LIFE; and he that HATH NOT the Son of God HATH NOT LIFE” 1 John 5:11-12.

“And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might KNOW thee the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast SENT” John 17:3.

The CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of the life and person of God in Christ Jesus. When you take CHRIST from the word CHRISTIAN you have “IAN”, meaning “I AM NOTHING”. So what makes the CHRISTIAN in his or her CHRISTIAN FAITH to be of tremendous value and worth, and of the graciousness and gracefulness to life and living, is the Christ Jesus within the person. In Christ Jesus, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a person and not an idea or myth or object or any such like.

“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.

So then, the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is of REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward the person of our Lord Christ Jesus; And by this act of faith, we ENSURE our ASSURED REDEMPTION wherein one is unveiled to the ETERNAL LIFE that’s available to any – in the realm of eternity, the timeless timeline of God. [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:3; 1 John 5:11-12]. And in Christ Jesus, there’s no sectarianism and denominationalism of any kind – but the FAITH that’s working – in operative and energised, through the LOVE of God in Christ Jesus stead without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. [Galatians 5:6; Galatians 3:26-29].

Therefore, if you do think that the CHRISTIAN [CHRIST-LIKE] FAITH is a religion as many and dictionary had classified it like other set religions in the world, you need to rethink again and redefine your known information about divinity in the living and alive person of God in Christ Jesus [1 John 5:7; Hebrews 7:23-25; Colossians 1:27; Philippians 1:20-21; Galatians 2:20-21].

Be blessed in God’s GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? I know that thou believest. 28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a CHRISTIAN. 29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds” Acts 26:27-29.

“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.

“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)” John 7:37-39.

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

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT

THE MARITAL CONFLICTS CONTEXT: THE HELP-MEET (DIVINE) VS THE HELP-MATE (HUMAN) IN SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT AND PURPOSE!

And God BLESSED them – male (Adam) and female (Eve); for in God’s marital plan – MARRIAGE IS BLESSED not CURSE, more so, it’s not a CURSE thing as some may have acclaimed and or associated respectively because of the difficulties and challenges. And every marital couple is CALLED to INHERIT a BLESSING – [1 Peter 3:9 (1-12)]. When God makes you or anything, He makes them good and beautiful [Ecclesiastes 3:11; Psalms 139:14]; and in God’s definition of the MARITAL relationship plan, purpose and pursuit – MARRIAGE is GOOD and BEAUTIFUL and is ASSURED – to be sorrow free; for the BLESSING of God MAKES rich, He add no SORROW and CONFUSION with it as the SCRIPTURES enjoined, for God is not the Author or creator of any form of CONFUSION, especially now on MARITAL context – [Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 10:22; 1 Corinthians 14:33].

Be it known today, that when the PURPOSE of a thing is MISUSED, MISUNDERSTOOD, MISCONSTRUED, MISINTERPRETED and MISAPPROPRIATED, then ABUSE and ABUSIVENESS takes its root and cause. The term ABUSE means in essence, the – ABNORMAL USE or ABNORMAL BEHAVIOUR – and in marriage or marital relationship context, is simply for the lack of knowledgeable understanding of God’s definition and intent (PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT) in marriage. This is likened to or a results of ‘MEN’ who don’t LEAD but are BOSSY, and ‘WOMEN’ who don’t FOLLOW but SUBVERT DIVERGENTLY their places in grace to suit individuals intent and context of definition, which is contrary to scriptural demands and context. Hence we see some major reason for ‘Marital Conflict and Confusion’ in the Christian Faith.

Know full well that GOD WILL ONLY COMMEND WHAT HE COMMANDS. As such, when HELP-MEET becomes HELP-MATE as a result of NO LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP to Scripturally context and demands, what then do you expect to happen in such unscriptural context? There will be absence of the ENABLING GRACE and EMPOWERING BLESSEDNESS of God’s WORD, to make such relationship BECOME what God intended it to be in His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT; this is what then makes every human efforts and investment in time, finance, material and such like to ENDS up in CONFUSIONS and FRUSTRATION. As such, God’s intent (PLANS, PURPOSES AND PURSUITS) in marital causes will be HINDERED; more so, it will become as in many cases, a VAIN CAUSE that OUGHT not to have been started and ventured into. That’s   just one of the major aspects while Apostle Paul in his scriptural context, will make known of not frustrating the enabling grace available to him to do the gospel assignment as he scriptural stated – [Galatians 2:21].

“I do not FRUSTRATE the GRACE of God: for if RIGHTEOUSNESS (GOD’S INTENT) come by the LAW (MAN’S DEFINITION), then Christ is DEAD in VAIN” Galatians 2:21 (Emphasis Mine).

Effective MANAGEMENT of any proven good and thriving cause is born in the LEADERSHIP and FOLLOWERSHIP that makes it be. Meaning, if you wants as a MAN your WOMAN to provide you the ANGELIC needed HELP MEET, provide her the HEAVENLY atmospheric LEAD and LEADERSHIP that is desirable of Angels – [Hebrews 1:7, 14; Psalms 103:20]; for ANGELS don’t dwell in HELL to provide and give the good deeds as DESIRED of them from God. You can’t hold God’s TRUTH in UNRIGHTEOUS BEHAVIOUR and expects a heavenly outpour of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in His BLESSEDNESS. God will only COMMEND what He COMMANDS. Same it’s applicable too of any marital woman (wife) who WANTS a heavenly husband but UNPREPARED and not READY to FOLLOW his LEAD and LEADERSHIP accordingly, as Sarah FOLLOWED Abraham in scriptural context of God’s LEAD in her husband.

“For the WRATH of God is REVEALED from heaven against all UNGODLINESS AND UNRIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN, WHO HOLD THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them” Romans 1:18-19.

“. . . 6 even as Sara OBEYED Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye ARE, as long as ye DO well, and are not AFRAID with any amazement . . . ” 1 Peter 3:1-12 (Ephesians 5:21-31).

TAKE TIME NOW TO PAUSE and THINK carefully on this note and context below.

In SCRIPTURAL terms, the word ‘HELP MEET’ as in Genesis 2:18 Scripture, is the same INTERPRETATION not in TRANSLATION, called PARACLETE as in Romans 8:26, which speaks of the Holy Spirit, who is our BEING HELPER; He’s our enabling HELPER in weakness and strenght, to meet up and be qualified to God’s demands and obligations in life and grace. Hence we can say He is our HELP MEET to make up to God’s BLESSEDNESS and not a HELP-MATE TO COMPETE AND FIGHT with, either within and without, and by any measure, in order to fulfill God’s SCRIPTURAL demands in His BLESSEDNESS. When God made ADAM (male), He gave him an assignment that is PRINCIPLED with RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY long before EVE (female) the wife was made. Indicating a male folks has an assignment with God, knowingly or unknowingly. An it is in the order to ACHIEVE the given divine assignment in BLESSEDNESS, that God provides a HELPER or HELP-MEET as it’s written:

“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be ALONE (in PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT); I will make him an HELP MEET (to fulfill PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT) for him” Genesis 2:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise the Spirit also HELPS our infirmities (weakness and limitations): for we KNOW NOT what we SHOULD pray for as we OUGHT: but the Spirit itself MAKETH intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered” Romans 8:26 (Emphasis Mine).

We can end all these divergent confusion and daily crises in MARITAL RELATIONSHIP places when we maintain in life and grace that which God has allowed us be. Be profoundly happy what God made you be, and therein you will find meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God in Christ Jesus stead. Therefore, know for sure again and again, that God only COMMENDS obedience to what He COMMANDS. Any breaking of His Word as Adam did to satisfy the statuesque outside His BLESSEDNESS, will make God’s Word and enabling grace for the individual inoperative. It’s for this and such like, that many Believers today live beneath the FULLNESS made available for them  by God in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus – who is our REDEMPTION DEED, Saviour and Lord. Hence, let the man show forth the genuine SCRIPTURAL leadership and the woman same like following. For its when the Woman wants to FOLLOW and the Man is BOSSY instead of showing leadership, there will be wahala wahala, that’s trouble trouble. In same scenario, when a men offers LEADERSHIP and the woman can’t follow for whatsoever reasons, there’s bound to be confusion and chaos. That’s the foundation to all other conflicts and side effects respectively – [Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:11-14].

I pray that your MARITAL RELATIONSHIP will find a daily meaningful and purposeful FULFILMENT in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“. . . 8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9 not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; KNOWING THAT YE ARE THEREUNTO CALLED, THAT YE SHOULD INHERIT A BLESSING. 10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 11 let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. 12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil” 1 Peter 3:1-12.

CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES

CHURCH GATHERING AND WORSHIP SERVICES: THE TRUE HEARTFELT SPIRIT OF WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP!

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine).

Someone ask me sometimes ago if I went to Church. I pause and looked at the individual if she understood the question she was asking me. I said I don’t go to Church, because I am the Church which Christ is building. I knew her concept or intent was a building where the Churches do gather or are gathering, which could be of any architectural design. Simply because I didn’t want to give the person a leverage to think that the Church is the building but her very self in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And while some will say that Church services was great and how blessed they are others will attribute it to the magnificent building instead.

My concern is that the building has been religiously ascribed by some as Church, especially with the denominational concepts; thereby forgetting if such a place in use becomes a restaurant or playground tomorrow, it’s essence changes; hence it must be noted that the concept of the building in use will change of what’s then considered as Church by some – for the building in use is only the gathering place of you and others – the Church – and when that concept of use changes or becomes a restaurant for our example then it’s no longer a Church building but a restaurant. Hence, it’s very important for one to have an insight and foresight of knowing and understanding the very meaning of what Church is all about in the context and concept; and also to avoid attributing what is not to be it in order to safeguard any in building and establishing on a wrong foundation of FAITH on the FAITH in Christ Jesus stead.

As a result of the above intent, I said she should rephrased the question as – Did you attend the Sunday Churches Services or gathering today? And I said YES! I Did. For the local Churches assembly gathering of respective individual Churches are there for a collective cause or causes; and are there to render what is/are called SERVICE/SERVICES which could be – PRAYERS, TEACHING, EVANGELISM, PREACHING, BAPTISM, GIVING, CHARITABLE CAUSES, HOSPITALITY/WELFARE, SEMINAR, FUNERAL, FELLOWSHIP/COMMUNION and MUSIC/WORSHIP and other SCRIPTURALLY based ORDINANCES and such like the more as may be applicable.

In all, what is the HEARTS of a TRUE WORSHIP? It’s of the human spirit engraved by the WORD of God, called the TRUTH, when it’s being LED and GUIDED by and of the Holy Spirit of God towards the acts of WORSHIP and FELLOWSHIP – (John 4:22-24; 1 Corinthians 1:9). The intent should be intentional, purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling for to WORSHIP God WORTHILY, and SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY, in the FELLOWSHIP of the Brethren – the CALLED out people of God, that are ascribed as the CHURCH – the REDEEMED of God – the BODY OF CHRIST JESUS – who is our Saviour and Lord in the communion of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:20-24.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

HEREIN ARE SCRIPTURAL TRUTH WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit (Human spirit), and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have no CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (Five senses acts)” Philippians 3:3. (Emphasis Mine).

“For he is not a Jew, which is ONE OUTWARDLY; neither is that circumcision, which is OUTWARD IN THE FLESH (Five Senses): 29 but he is a Jew, WHICH IS ONE INWARDLY; and circumcision is that of the HEART, in the spirit (Human spirit), and not in THE LETTER; whose PRAISE IS NOT OF MEN, BUT OF GOD” Romans 2:28-29. (Emphasis Mine).

“The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers WORSHIPPED IN THIS MOUNTAIN; and ye say, that in JERUSALEM is the place where MEN OUGHT TO WORSHIP. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in THIS MOUNTAIN, nor yet at JERUSALEM, WORSHIP the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we WORSHIP: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 BUT THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, when the TRUE WORSHIPPERS shall WORSHIP the Father in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD): for the Father SEEKETH such to WORSHIP him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him MUST WORSHIP him in spirit (Human spirit) and in truth (God’s WORD)” John 4:19-24. (Emphasis Mine).

“The spirit of man is the CANDLE of the Lord, SEARCHING all the INWARD PARTS of the BELLY (BEING)” Proverbs 20:27 (Emphasis Mine).

“But there is a spirit in man: and THE INSPIRATION of the Almighty GIVETH THEM UNDERSTANDING” Job 32:8.

“The Spirit of God hath MADE me, and the BREATH of the Almighty hath GIVEN ME LIFE”

“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.

COMING TO TERMS WITH THE WRITTEN WORD

COMING TO TERMS WITH THE WRITTEN WORD – THE HOLY BIBLE: THE B-I-B-L-E “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”!

“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Act 20:32.

The written HOLY writ called the HOLY BIBLE, which I acclaimed in sense as B-I-B-L-E meaning, “BLESSED INFORMATION BRINGING LIFE ETERNAL”; and can be summed up in this wise as:

* The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that is both informative and transformative at the same time.

* The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that is spiritual and life-giving at no charge.

* The ONLY WRITTEN  BOOK that you can READ with the AUTHOR being present by your side to help you READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND it’s context and content.

* The ONLY WRITTEN BOOK by Holy Men as LED and MOVED by the Holy Spirit without adulteration, perversion, prejudice, dissimulation and distortion in content and context.

* Other Books you READ, but the Holy Bible is the ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that READS you, the reader.

* The Holy Writ – The Holy BIBLE – it’s the ONLY WRITTEN BOOK that INSPIRES, REVEALS and EMPOWERS one in the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus stead, without distortion and adulteration in context and content.

* The Holy Writ – The Holy BIBLE – it’s the only assured written WORD of prophecy, without contradiction and controversy, despite the difference in times of the various dispensations and generations wherein when the information were record and written.

Therefore, take time to READ it and to – SELAH: PAUSE AND THINK.

And I strongly commend you to this WRITTEN BOOK for your today and tomorrow, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in Christ Jesus’s stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“We have also a more SURE WORD of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the SCRIPTURE is of any PRIVATE interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

“And that from a child thou hast known the HOLY SCRIPTURES, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All SCRIPTURE is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

“Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy WORD. 105 Thy WORD is a LAMP unto my feet, and a LIGHT unto my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of thy WORDS giveth LIGHT; it giveth UNDERSTANDING unto the simple” Psalms 119: 9, 105, 130.

“For THE WORD of God is LIVING and ACTIVE and FULL OF POWER [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is SHARPER than any two-edged sword, PENETRATING as far as the DIVISION of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], EXPOSING and JUDGING the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13 And not a creature exists that is CONCEALED from His sight, but all things are OPEN and EXPOSED, and REVEALED to the eyes of Him with whom we have to give account” Hebrews 4:12-13.

“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.
