GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND
GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND – FOR YOUR TODAY AND TOMORROW DEFINITION IS POSSIBLE!
“But the Lord is FAITHFUL, who shall STABLISH you, and KEEP you from EVIL” 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
It’s a high time to STOP blaming others for nearly everything about you. It’s time to awake, rise up, get a LIVE to LIFE and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction. For now, it’s your time to enact and authenticate your faithfulness in the grace, in order to ensure and be assured of your stead in Christ Jesus, for our GOD IS FAITHFUL. When you TILL [Explore, Create, Initiate and Innovate] YOUR LAND, you are defining and enriching your possibilities today and tomorrow.
“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough” Proverbs 28:19.
We live in the age of WISDOM by God’s grace; and God is ever willing to make all grace abound toward you in this respect [1 Corinthians 1:24, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:1-6; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 1:17; James 1:5-6]; And your today and tomorrow is DEFINE by WISDOM – the application of knowledge and not DEFINE by MIRACLE and MYSTERY that some crave more after rather than KNOWING the God of MIRACLE and MYSTERY to obtain the needful wisdom to become what they ought to be SCRIPTURALLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Anything otherwise, you will end up as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY in the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God, not knowing their God, the God of the miraculous for themselves; while unlike Moses, who knew the FAITHFUL God of Miracle and His WAY – the PATH – that makes one’s DEFINITION in everything.
“He made KNOWN his WAYS [PATH] unto Moses, his ACTS [MIRACULOUS] unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.
Your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly. That’s to say, your HARVEST or DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS – Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13. It thus means that it’s within your ability to EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and INNOVATE with the capacity of THE MEASURE of the GRACE and FAITH available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS that ENSURES and DEFINES you – Deuteronomy 8:18; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 12:3.
It thus mean also, that one’s DEFINITION is to stop being SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD and LAZING around with reliance on a bottle of ANOINTING OIL, HOLY WATER, special PROPHET HANDKERCHIEF, MIRACLE WRISTBAND, CAR or DOOR STICKER and such like; instead, it’s of your DILIGENCE in a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads to CREATIVITY, INNOVATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING to succeed with God – Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 28:19-22; Proverbs 12:11, 14. For it’s within you to DEFINE the atmosphere and happines your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 3 John 2; Romans 5:1-2.
May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional DILIGENT CHOICE TO BECOME of God in Christ Jesus stead [Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 6:11-12; Proverbs 22:29]. Meaning it’s something you create, initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Otherwise, one will keep shouting an unending slogan of “I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE . . . etc” with all the noise and bubbles within the surrounding and around. And shouting for instant miracle and breakthrough at no FOUNDATION to SUSTAIN and to have the sense of DIRECTION is misleading. And more so, without the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady in Christ Jesus stead.
Just know that you are born of God and you CAN have your DEFINITION in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises – [1 John 4:4,6; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Corinthians 1:8; Romans 8:28-30]. For MAN, that’s YOU, is the REASON the earth was CREATED. Meaning, the Earth is made for Man and not the other way round – meaning MAN for the earth. Therefore, I urge you to TILL (CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE) your LAND and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; Proverbs 12:11, 14; Proverbs 28:19].
I pray for you right now in the precious name of Jesus Christ, that you find purposeful and meaningful FULFILMENT, in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead, as you TILL – create, innovate, initiate and explore – your land in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS
THE MARK OF BEING FAITHFUL IN GOD’S FAITHFULNESS: IT’S FOR YOU TO TILL YOUR LAND IN THE GRACE IN GRACE!
“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER [ENABLING, RIGHT] to GET [CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE, EXPLORE] wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.
We live in the age of wisdom [the application of knowledge], which thus means and indicates, it’s a high time to seek for God’s wisdom to become, and to stop running around seeking after miracles and mystery’s – by resolving to TILL YOUR LAND in grace – for that’s the true mark of being FAITHFUL in having faith in God’s faithfulness to supply all your needs in Christ Jesus stead, amen. And to have and to ensure to be assured of God’s power to get wealth as in Deuteronomy 8:18, it’s not just by a wish, but an act of being faithful in God’s faithfulness which embodiment is for us by wisdom to till our land in the grace in order for us to have plenty of bread that we crave to earn.
“He that TILLETH his LAND shall be SATISFIED with BREAD: but he that followeth VAIN persons is void of understanding” Proverbs 12:11.
“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with BLESSINGS: but he that MAKETH HASTE to be RICH shall NOT BE INNOCENT” Proverbs 28:19-20.
For when Apostle Paul writes in the epistles of 1 Corinthians 12:1-12, indicating that he doesn’t want us to be ignorant of matters concerning the spiritual gifts – it’s because he knows that one of the major reasons why God has made the Holy Spirit spiritual gifts available for our enduement endowment as written, is to enable us to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in our doing life and living godly for our today and tomorrow definition. This thus indicates, that it’s a high time for any to stop blaming others for nearly everything about themselves in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. It’s time to wake up and stay awake, to rise up and stay arisen, to get a life to live and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.
Know that your today and tomorrow is not merely define by the craven to obtain miracles and spiritual mystery’s of God without being mystical as some do craven after because of the spiritual gifts given to us – but it’s for us to be able to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, on matters of doing life and living godly as God’s ambassador’s on earth – this thus helps us in knowing the God of the TRUTH in all miracles and mystery’s too.
And if all we are craven about it’s just for miracles and mystery’s without the most important desire of knowing the God of the TRUTH in the miracles and mystery’s we are craven, we will otherwise end up and be likened as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY having and obtaining the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God without knowing the God of such craven; while unlike them, Moses, who was craven to know God and stay in His presence for his definition in the grace [Exodus 33:12-19; Psalms 16:11]. And for Moses good spirited and hearted intent to be craven to know God primarily, requires him to have FAITH and be FAITHFUL in the FAITHFULNESS of God of Miracle and mystery’s; and for such attitude he puts on toward God, God shows him His WAY – the PATH of doing life and living godly, that makes and made his DEFINITION in grace and blessedness, in Christ Jesus stead.
“He made KNOWN his WAYS unto Moses, His ACTS [MIRACLES]unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.
It then means your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly – either to KNOW God or to PURSUE just the miracles God, which unfortunately many have been deluded and misguided by it. That’s to say, your HARVESTING and DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. [Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13]. It thus means that your ability to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, with the capacity of the measure of the grace and of the faith that’s available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS, is what ensures and defines you in Christ Jesus stead.
“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
“For I say, through the GRACE GIVEN unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE OF FAITH” Romans 12:3.
For one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to be assured of one’s DEFINITION, is for one to stop being SLOTHFUL and LAZING around with reliance on a mere seeking after bottle of Anointing OIL, Holy WATER, special PROPHET handkerchief, miracle WRISTBAND, car or door STICKERS for your protection and the craven to possess various prayer chaplets for incantations in order to access and see spiritual things, and other such like religious practices; and to avert being slothful and lazing around it’s to be DILIGENT, by having a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads one to TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, in order to succeed by God and with God’s enabling power –[Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 28:19-20]. For its within you to define the atmosphere and happiness your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.
May I admonish you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional CHOICE to become. Meaning it’s something you create, Initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Applying anything otherwise, you will keep shouting “I RECEIVE” in emptiness, with all the noise and bubbles around for instant miracle at no foundation to SUSTAIN and no sense of direction with the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady.
Just know that you are born of God, and you can have your Definition in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises. For man (you), is the reason the earth was created. Meaning, the earth is made for man and not the other way round. Therefore, TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND, and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12].
I pray that you find meaningful FULFILMENT in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead as you TILL [explore, create, initiate and innovate] OUR LAND in the grace in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE
INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).
A friend of mine just wrote a book that’s worth exploring, I didn’t wait to order myself a copy and as soon as the book reaches my door steps, I waste no time to unpack and gets into reading on my staircase in order to devour the writ because I know it’s a spiritual meal worth getting, knowing from whom it’s written. [Matthew 13:44-46]. For wisdom, the application of knowledge is at cost and worth it when you know the value of what you worth and the need and essence to keep the informed worth continuously refreshing, rekindling, rejuvenating and blossoming in life and grace.
How much do you think you WORTH? How much are you INVESTING on your WORTH to make it appreciate value the MORE? What’s your current lifestyle price tag? Don’t you intend spicing up your current stage and phase in life for a more healthier place? Are you still fresh or refreshing and rejuvenating in minds and thoughts? Are you still set in your old set mind setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? Are you truly LIVING or you are just managing to EXIST? I just wants you to know that YOU WORTH A LIFE and needs to LIVE THE WORTH. It’s time to take a PAUSE and THINK about it for a moment before you take the next step of action.
“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5.
Today, I just discovered that my wife Faith is investing time, money and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do. And not quite long ago, she was investing on books to expand her horizons of knowledge on subjects that worth exploring explicitly and that matters to her dearly, instead of waiting for a second or third hands information that may have been distorted and adulterated from the original information – especially now in our world of social experiment that’s polluted with misinformation and disinformation across the boards.
However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good on a long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes and challenges in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put a new wine in an old wineskins. There has to be a new you for your new day. From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergise your current life status or the dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such like.
Don’t you know it’s a high time you READ to ACQUIRE skill or knowledge, or LEARN to EARN more again or the more in order to improve the quality of your life in grace – which is by attending a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create, initiate and explore – in order to be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE, MATERIAL and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to be EXPLORE in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and bring about your best and ultimate well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-46 NKJV.
Now, I know why most times people are still set in their old ways that have captivated them and nothing adventurous is there, driving them to attain higher heights; and they see nothing worth pursuing to keep them fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create; and they see nothing motivating, inspiring, revealing and empowering about them to enable them ensure they obtain the life that WORTH embracing, to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. My dearly beloved of God in Christ Jesus stead, know of a truth that the above-mentioned norm found in some ought not to be so and not for you too, especially in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS that’s abundantly available to us all irrespective, in Christ Jesus stead.
It’s time to say – oh God, RENEW, REFRESH , REJUVENATE, REKINDLE AND BLOSSOM my days and REVITALISE my life with the needed investment on KNOWLEDGE and EXPOSURE to keep me updated in order to be effectual and efficient, and to navigate in the changing WORLD SYSTEM with the gracious ATTITUDE that will bring about the desired onward and upward trajectory toward an ALTITUDE of graciousnesss and gracefulness for me, in your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“The man that WANDERETH out of the way of UNDERSTANDING shall remain in the CONGREGATION of the DEAD (UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 21:16 Emphasis Mine.
“Good UNDERSTANDING giveth FAVOUR: but the WAY of TRANSGRESSORS is hard (DIFFICULT)” Proverbs 13:15 Emphasis Mine.
Know for sure, that, living and sustaining a colourful life that’s genuine and to be in GRACIOUSNESSS and GRACEFULNESS without stress, sweat and depression is not cheap and out there by a MERE wishes; hence the need to INVEST in the needed KNOWLEDGE to CHANGE your worlds for good and to CREATE the needed atmosphere you wants to see, enjoy and live within. For you are the custodian of your own happiness and joy and not another that you want to blame as many have done in ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness.
“Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get WISDOM: and with all thy GETTING get UNDERSTANDING” Proverbs 4:7.
You are the architects of your worlds – whether it’s good or hurting at the moment. It’s your time to ARISE and GLOW through NEEDED knowledge. Don’t let ignorance, foolishness and stupidity, presumption, illusions and procrastination keep you static, burnt out and worn out – especially in your marital relationship, business enterprise, career or trade and such like needed place that WORTH INVESTING your – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. It’s time to update your worlds for your GRACIOUSNESSS GRACEFULNESS, FRUITFULNESS and BLESSEDNESS.
Listen – I love PRAYERS and I enjoy God’s PRESENCE in PRAYERS; but please, please, don’t use PRAYERS to OVERLOOK you ambassadorial place of RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY in the PRINCIPLE of doing life and living godly by God’s WORD in context. Know for sure that FAITH without WORKS is dead (inactive, inoperative) and it’s standing alone. PRAYERS without corresponding ACTIONS will keep one MOANING and COMPLAINING and BLAMING others through life. Take the scale off your eyes and look up to the stars – you can shine again. The Daystar lives in you for your dawn day to glow – 2 Peter 1:19; Proverbs 4:18.
GIVE YOUR CURRENT LIFE A MEANING – INVEST IN KNOWLEDGE – YOU WORTH A HEALTHIER LIVING – BUT FIRSTLY IN MINDS AND THOUGHTS – AND EVERY OTHERS THINGS WILL FALL IN PLACE.

THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD
THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD: BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER WHATEVER!
“For SURELY THERE IS AN END; and thine EXPECTATION shall not be CUT OFF” Proverbs 23:18
Surely there’s an end to everything under the sun – [whether it’s the lost of job, marital breakdown, relationship disruption, bereavement of love one, infectious pandemic diseases and sicknesses, fatal accident, war, economic meltdown and such like] – for there is no different with God in WHATEVER. It thus mean every challenges and difficult circumstances are certainly and surely TIMED to stop or come to an END point one day, irrespective of the days, weeks, months and years of that WHATEVER – Proverbs 23:18.
And life will always roll in a NEW action and motion again when an end is come for WHATEVER betides one. It’s how much READINESS and PREPAREDNESS you are making to forge ahead for yourself and all about you at the dawn day and dawn time when it comes – is the very important thing to think and ponder through. Your intentional mindset setting for an onward and upward trajectory, is so important if you intend to be the one in charge, control and in DOMINON to reign and rule in your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead – (Proverbs 21:31; Proverbs 16:1, 3, 7, 9).
There’s one scripture that I have known, that have kept me going, almost in every passing phase of challenging times in my life, to deal with matters during and after WHATEVER in the work of FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. That scripture is this:
“. . . 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS . . .” Ecclesiastes 7:7-12.
More so, I know that having a SCRIPTURAL perception of life, is an attitude that makes one to perceive that their today is far better than yesterday, and that has helped and kept me going; and scriptural context in perception still helps me to stay strong and courageous, knowing that the best of anything it’s in the new start up and not in the old.
And the knowing that God’s act of faithfulness and steadfastness are NEW every morning – is an awesome plus on each passing day (Lamentations 3:23); and by this confidence and assurance in SCRIPTURAL context in perception, there’s no reason why one should not live in the present tense of God to define ones life for today and tomorrow. Hence I can say that your GOOD, BETTER and BEST DAYS is come and is coming out of the WHATEVER you are dealing with at the moment to advance in life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead.
Just as I will always say that the New Testament, the New Creation which is of the New Covenant and such like, is far more superior testimony as in the fulfilment to the Old Testament of the Old Covenant and such like injunctions of the old – it beholds me as it becomes imperative, that one keep away and withdraw from the concept of always looking back and thinking of the good old days instead of dealing with the present.
Regrets and living in the past will not elevates any, no matter the devotion to mourning and murmuring and complaining of the past and it’s history – both in the bad or good terms. And dwelling in the past doesn’t indicates a good sign to innovative, creative and wise up to make good of the present in order to ensure and endorse the beauty and glory so much desired of you – especially for your today and your tomorrow. It’s time for a NEW you to SPRING up for the NEW dawn day that’s about to come forth from you after the WHATEVER; because your world should not be the same again and you need not be – A LEFT BEHIND CHRISTIAN.
Am emboldened to inform you that the way you live and do life OUGHT to change whenever the WHATEVER is done away with in one’s life. And if you do not PREPARE and TRAIN yourself for the NEW you to emerge in order to EFFECTUALLY deal with the changes that will come up after your WHATEVER – you may live to regret for learning nothing whenever the WHATEVER shutdown or locked down or standstill moment is done and dusted. It’s a wise decision for you to do life meaningfully and purposefully as a consequence of the preparation you’ve made for your emergence from the known and unknown WHATEVER you’ve been through.
Just know that our ways of PRUDENCE – the utilising and managing of the resources – of TIME, FINANCE, EFFORT (Physical/Mental Exertion), MATERIAL and PEOPLE, in order to earn a living may likely change in many ways after WHATEVER; and if you’ve not made yourself readily ready to adapt with the changes, there will be a left behind to catch up with, in the reality of change that may evolve.
And I behold you not to whine by crying out loud – by saying things as one that’s been left behind, as to – THE FORMER DAYS ARE BETTER THAN THE PRESENT. This is simply because you are not living in the NOW because the FORMER days have a grip on you and you’ve forgotten that the so called former days can’t define your current and present day of today.
It’s time to look inward for your onward and upward trajectory match to the better and best of you in life and grace. Our God is the God of the now and tomorrow as He’s of yesterday; and He’s good and faithful to see us through life phase – making the good and the bad to work together for our good Romans 8:28. But you must give God something to work with, to ensure you are thoroughly through and through with your inward (insight) and outward (foresight) plan, purpose and pursuit.
I PRAY YOU KNOW WELL TODAY AND ALWAYS THAT – THE GOOD, BETTER AND BEST DAYS IS NOW AND AHEAD – THEREFORE, BE CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND READILY READY FOR THE NEW DAWN OF DOING LIFE DURING AND AFTER THE WHATEVER.
I pray you have a GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL days in the PRESENT TIME and in the TIME AHEAD that might evolve in everyway in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 BETTER IS THE END OF A THING THAN THE BEGINNING THEREOF: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 SAY NOT THOU, WHAT IS THE CAUSE THAT THE FORMER DAYS WERE BETTER THAN THESE? FOR THOU DOST NOT ENQUIRE WISELY CONCERNING THIS. 11 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 7:7-12.

THE EAGLE IS AUTHENTIC
THE EAGLE IS AUTHENTIC: BE AUTHENTIC AS THE EAGLE IF YOU MUST SOAR!
“For do I now PERSUADE men, or God? or do I seek to PLEASE men? for if I yet PLEASED men, I should not be the SERVANT of Christ. 11 But I CERTIFY you, brethren, that the GOSPEL which was PREACHED of me is not after man. 12 For I neither RECEIVED it of man, neither was I TAUGHT it, but by the REVELATION of Jesus Christ” Galatians 1:10-12.
THERE’S THE NEED FOR AUTHENTICITY IN THE PREACHING OF THE GOSPEL – AND IF YOU MUST SOAR AS AN EAGLE YOU NEED TO BE AUTHENTIC IN ALL.
It’s your timely timeline to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE to reality in an onward and upward trajectory and not be bubbling in life, for you to ensure the leverage into the sphere you want to see and enjoy in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. That’s how to end all complains, worries and anxiousness in the cause of the preaching of the Gospel.
You WORTH a new dawn by being authentic. And you need to make it happen for your good and for all you care about and for humanity. This is possible by REVELATION as you SOAR AS AN EAGLE by the WIND – the HOLY SPIRIT – the personified God that lives in us to enable our empowering for authenticity [Romans 5:5; John 14:16-17]. For the WIND will give you every enabling to fulfil PURPOSE when you allow Him take His place in you as it’s written:
“But as it is written, EYE hath not SEEN, nor EAR HEARD, neither have ENTERED into the HEART of man, the things which God hath PREPARED for them that LOVE him. 10 But God hath REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit SEARCHETH all things, yea, the deep things of God” 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.
Don’t stay on the side road, don’t stay on the middle ground, neither stay on the complaining, murmuring and nagging seat; but on the onward and upward trajectory sphere of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, that gives you the enabling to GET – CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and EXPLORE – the BLESSEDNESS of God in world as you do life and live in grace, and to BECOME a BLESSING too.
“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee POWER to GET (INITIATE, CREATE, EXPLORE AND INNOVATE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18/Emphasis Mine.
Make your AUTHENTICITY known without ADULTERATION and COPYCATS and COUNTERFEIT and such like. For history will remember you, for either the PROBLEMS of life that you did SOLVE by your opportunity or you will be remembered for the CHAOS and PAIN you didn’t do and resolved by your opportunity and also for the problems you created, initiated, explored and innovated to humanity even when it’s within your reach to have made it happen for others good and goodness.
May you be BLESSED and a BLESSING as you initiate, create, explore and innovate as you do life and live in godliness, in all to be an ANSWER and ASSET for the good and the goodness of others, in everyway, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND
GOD IS FAITHFUL: TILL YOUR LAND – Explore, Create, Initiate And Innovate – For Your Today And Tomorrow Definition Is Possible!
“But the Lord is FAITHFUL, who shall STABLISH you, and KEEP you from EVIL” 2 Thessalonians 3:3.
It’s a high time to STOP blaming others for nearly everything about you. It’s time to awake, rise up, get a LIVE to LIFE and TILL YOUR LAND, for your own happiness and satisfaction.
“He that TILLETH his LAND shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have POVERTY enough” Proverbs 28:19.
We live in the age of WISDOM by God’s grace; and God is ever willing to make all grace abound toward you in this respect [1 Corinthians 1:24, 30; 1 Corinthians 2:1-6; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Ephesians 1:17; James 1:5-6]; And your today and tomorrow is DEFINE by WISDOM – the application of knowledge and not DEFINE by MIRACLE and MYSTERY that some crave more after rather than KNOWING the God of MIRACLE and MYSTERY to obtain the needful wisdom to become what they ought to be SCRIPTURALLY in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Anything, otherwise, you will end up as the children of Israelites, whose only DEFINITION was SOLELY in the MIRACULOUS ACTS of God, not knowing their God, the God of the miraculous for themselves; while unlike Moses, who knew the FAITHFUL God of Miracle and His WAY – the PATH – that makes one’s DEFINITION in everything.
“He made KNOWN his WAYS [PATH] unto Moses, his ACTS [MIRACULOUS] unto the children of Israel” Psalms 103:7/Emphasis Mine.
Your DEFINITION for today and tomorrow is within the CHOICE you make daily in your PATH of doing life and living godly. That’s to say, your HARVEST or DEFINITION are in the CHOICES you make today and will be making daily in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS – Genesis 8:22; Deuteronomy 30:19-20; Proverbs 22:29; Galatians 6:7-8; Luke 16:10-13. It thus means that it’s within your ability to EXPLORE, CREATE, INITIATE and INNOVATE with the capacity of THE MEASURE of the GRACE and FAITH available to you in God’s BLESSEDNESS that ENSURES and DEFINES you – Deuteronomy 8:18; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 12:3.
It thus mean also, that one’s DEFINITION is to stop being SLOTHFUL, SLUGGARD and LAZING around with reliance on a bottle of ANOINTING OIL, HOLY WATER, special PROPHET HANDKERCHIEF, MIRACLE WRISTBAND, CAR or DOOR STICKER and such like; instead, it’s of your DILIGENCE in a set PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT that leads to CREATIVITY, INNOVATING, INITIATING and EXPLORING to succeed with God – Proverbs 22:29; Hebrews 11:6; Proverbs 28:19-22; Proverbs 12:11, 14. For it’s within you to DEFINE the atmosphere and happines your desire to have in God and with God, in His endowed enabling grace, wisdom and speed in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 3 John 2; Romans 5:1-2.
May I admonished you to know that your sustainable definition for today and tomorrow is not something you just enter or jump into overnight. It’s born out of a deliberate and intentional DILIGENT CHOICE TO BECOME of God in Christ Jesus stead [Hebrews 11:6, Hebrews 6:11-12; Proverbs 22:29]. Meaning it’s something you create, initiate through exploring and innovating in the course of time and within the given enabling grace of God, in the measure of applicable FAITH in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Otherwise, one will keep shouting an unending slogan of “I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE, I RECEIVE . . . etc” with all the noise and bubbles within the surrounding and around. And shouting for instant miracle and breakthrough at no FOUNDATION to SUSTAIN and to have the sense of DIRECTION is misleading. And more so, without the needed PURPOSE to keep the PLAN and PURSUIT steadily steady in Christ Jesus stead.
Just know that you are born of God and you CAN have your DEFINITION in Him, for He’s FAITHFUL to His promises – [1 John 4:4,6; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Corinthians 1:8; Romans 8:28-30]. For MAN, that’s YOU, is the REASON the earth was CREATED. Meaning, the Earth is made for Man and not the other way round – meaning MAN for the earth. Therefore, I urge you to TILL (CREATE, INNOVATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE) your LAND and you will be satisfied with the GOODNESS and ABUNDANCE of God’s BLESSEDNESS in His FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [Psalms 115:16; Psalms 8:4-6; Isaiah 45:11-12; Proverbs 12:11, 14; Proverbs 28:19].
I pray for you right now in the precious name of Jesus Christ, that you find purposeful and meaningful FULFILMENT, in God’s FAITHFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead, as you TILL – create, innovate, initiate and explore – your land in LIFE and GRACE. Amen.

THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF
THE BLESSING OF GOD: It’s Not MATERIAL STUFF As – Car, Property, Money and More!
Having material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE may be results of God’s BLESSINGS but not THE BLESSING of God. The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS’ in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect as a result of its operations and manifestations. For there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff above through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways. Could that be God – NO. Hence there are not the BLESSING of God.
Also, to ‘Being Blessed of God’ simply Means – to being Empowered To: Succeed, Achieved, Become, Innovate, Create, Get and such likes. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus sustains one enrichment; it’s not just about having material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich. For money and other material gains has wings, it comes and goes but THE BLESSING OF GOD that enriches us, ABIDES forever. Meaning, you can go being empowered to succeed again and again no matter what levels of challenges are about you. (Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25).
So, if you must crave and pursue, crave and pursue for God’s blessing and build your life on God’s blessing which will eventually enrich you and not just a pursuits on wealth or material acquisitions.
** God’s blessings are wholesome, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52).
** God’s blessings empowers and creates enrichment and fulfilment (Deuteronomy 8:18).
** Know also that you are blessed of God already (Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4), and it can be made tangible by faith – acting on the Word accordingly.
Therefore, I say to you, live on God’s Blessedness and all other things will come together timely. I pray that the blessings of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE
LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE: THE BLESSING OF GOD IS WHOLESOME – AND IT’S LIFE GIVING!
“THE BLESSING of the LORD MAKES a person RICH, He ADDS NO SORROW to it” (Proverbs 10:22).
The BLESSING of God is the ENABLING and ENDOWED grace bestowed upon the BELIEVERS’ in Christ, and it’s firstly SPIRITUAL before it takes a PHYSICAL hold effect as a result of its operations, administrations and manifestations. It thus means that THE BLESSING of God is Not MATERIAL Stuff as – Car, Property, Money, precious stones of – silver, gold, diamond and such like, as some people may do think or suggest. The Physical stuff rots, decays and expires but God’s BLESSEDNESS does not rot, decay and expire – and it’s not limited and subjected by any human, demonic or natural factors. It’s a TREASURED enabler of the heavenly for the earthly affairs in humanity.
“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.
“Do not LAY UP for yourselves TREASURES on earth, where MOTH and RUST destroy and where THIEVES break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves TREASURES in heaven, where neither MOTH nor RUST destroys and where THIEVES do not break in and steal. 21 For where your TREASURE is, there your HEART will be also” Matthew 6:19-21.
Hence, having the material gains as CAR, PROPERTY, MONEY and MORE is/are the results of THE BLESSING of God but not THE BLESSING of God itself. However, there are lots of people that have obtained all these mentioned material stuff through illicit, wicked, oppressive and devilish ways too. Could that be considered as THE BLESSING of God? The answer is NO, NEVER, NOT AT ALL. There are not the BLESSING of God because you can’t measure God’s BLESSEDNESS from the physical possessions – for a man’s life in BLESSEDNESS does not consist or measured simply on the abundance of physical things you think you possess.
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of COVETOUSNESS: for a MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT in the ABUNDANCE of the things which he POSSESSETH” Luke 12:15.
There’s the need to know full that – to ‘BEING BLESSED OF GOD’ simply means to being EMPOWERED to – SUCCEED, ACHIEVE, BECOME, INNOVATE, CREATE, INITIATE, EXPLORE, GET and such like. For it’s THE BLESSING of God that makes one enriched in the kingdom and thus also sustains that enrichment of BLESSEDNESS; and it most be noted that in the Kingdom, enrichment it’s not just about having material acquisition as money, property, car and more as known that makes one rich.
You need to know full well that RICHES, otherwise depicted as the material gains of this world such as money and other precious material of worth has WINGS – and they COMES to one, they can also GOES out of one’s reach, hence you can see many that were once called rich in human perception are now totally bankrupt and needy.
“Will you SET YOU EYES on that which is not? For RICHES certainly makes themselves WINGS; they fly away like an eagle towards heaven” Proverbs 23:5.
You need to know that in life and grace, it is only THE BLESSING of God that enriches and possess the assured enabling make one to ABIDE and ABOUND forever in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It thus means, you can be EMPOWERED to succeed again and again no matter what levels of challenges are about you even as Isaac of Abraham experience with God at famine after been at plenty at a time. Genesis 26:1-5, 12-25.
So if you must crave and pursue anything in Life and Godliness, then crave and pursue for God’s given BLESSEDNESS, that is acronym – THE BLESSING of God – and build your life on God’s given BLESSEDNESS which will eventually enrich you wholly and not just a pursuits on wealth or material acquisitions as many do or think or suggest to then depict it as God’s blessings.
THEREFORE KNOW FULL WELL THAT:
** THE BLESSING OF GOD is wholesome, complete, fulfilling, peaceful, all embracing and not limited to just things physical only but the total being of man – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23; Luke 2:52).
** THE BLESSING OF GOD empowers, gives enabling, rights, privileges and creates enrichment and fulfilment (Deuteronomy 8:18).
** And You are BLESSED with THE BLESSING OF GOD as a possession already (Ephesians 1:3/2 Peter 1:2-4), and it can be made tangible today by FAITH – acting on THE WORD accordingly as you BELIEVE.
Henceforth, I say to you, live on God’s gracious BLESSEDNESS and all other things will come together timely. I pray that THE BLESSINGS of God be your vehicle of enrichment in Christ Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE
INVEST-IN-KNOWLEDGE: LIVE FOR A PURPOSE – YOU WORTH MORE!
“Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken (ERRING), not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES nor the POWER of God” Matthew 22:29 NKJV (Emphasis Mine).
How much do you think you WORTH? How much are you INVESTING on your WORTH to make it appreciate value the MORE? What’s your current lifestyle price tag? Don’t you intend spicing up your current stage and phase in life for a more healthier place? Are you still fresh or refreshing and rejuvenating in minds and thoughts? Are you still set in your old set mind setbacks ways? Are you living purposefully and meaningfully for a cause? Are you truly LIVING or you are just managing to EXIST? I just wants you to know that YOU WORTH A LIFE and needs to LIVE THE WORTH. It’s time to take a PAUSE and THINK about it for a moment before taken the next step of action.
“Through WISDOM is an house builded; and by UNDERSTANDING it is established: 4 and by KNOWLEDGE shall the chambers be FILLED with all precious and pleasant riches. 5 A WISE man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increaseth strength” Proverbs 24:3-5.
Today, I just discovered that my wife Faith is investing time, money and effort with a friend to learn and improve other and better ways of cooking delicious meals from the norm or usual to add to family menu. I’ve chosen to delay eating time so that I can be the taster. She doesn’t know it yet, except you inform her. Yes, I really do.
However, living in a Micro-wave, Quick-fix life and fast-readily meal only will not do you any good on a long run deal with the world. And with the dynamics of the changes and challenges in the world, you can’t afford to remain static or to put a new wine in an old wineskins. There has to be a new you for your new day. From one glory to another glory, glowing in the Lord Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
When last did you really INVEST – TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT to acquire the required and needed KNOWLEDGE to spice up, improve, promote, rekindle and synergise your current life status or the dysfunctional limitations and skill in terms of – CAREER OR TRADE TRADEMARKS, MARRIAGE or MARITAL & SOCIAL RELATIONSHIP, FRIENDSHIP, BUSINESS ENTERPRISE, FRIENDSHIP OUTLOOK, LEADERSHIP SKILS, MINISTERIAL POTENTIAL, COOKING/COOKERY, COMMUNICATION IMPROVEMENT and more of such like. Don’t you know it’s a high time you READ to ACQUIRE skill or knowledge, or LEARN to EARN more again or the more in order to improve the quality of your life in grace – which is by attending a training course, go for a refreshing seminar or conference, take a different turn from the usual to make you innovate, create, initiate and explore – in order to be built up – at a cost of TIME, FINANCE and EFFORT. Look within and you will see that there are too much within you yet to be EXPLORE in order to CREATE, INITIATE, INNOVATE and bring about your best and ultimate well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like TREASURE HIDDEN IN A FIELD, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it HE GOES AND SELLS ALL THAT HE HAS AND BUYS THAT FIELD. 45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking BEAUTIFUL PEARLS, 46 who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and SOLD ALL THAT HE HAD AND BOUGHT IT” Matthew 13:44-45 NKJV.
Now, I know why most times people are still set in their old ways that have captivated them and nothing adventurous is there driving them to attain higher heights; and they see nothing worth pursuing to keep them fresh or refreshing in order to blossom, thrive, innovate and create; and they see nothing motivating, inspiring, revealing and empowering about them to enable them ensure they obtain the life that WORTH embracing, to compete or overcome the deteriorating worlds about you. My dearly beloved of God in Christ Jesus stead, know of a truth that the above mentioned norm for some, ought not to be so for you in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
It’s time to say – oh God, RENEW, REFRESH , REJUVENATE AND BLOSSOM my days and REVITALISE my life with the needed investment on KNOWLEDGE and EXPOSURE to keep me updated in order to be effectual and efficient, and to navigate in the changing WORLD SYSTEM with the gracious ATTITUDE that will bring about the desired trajectory toward an ALTITUDE in for me, in your BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.
