MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: TO PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL!

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36

When you PREACH and LIVE Christ, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD – there would be JOY in the City and in the DESERT of your being. For the GOSPEL is Christ Jesus: which is, that, He came, He was crucified, He died, He was buried, He rose again, for our SIN and SINS. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. This thus mean, whether you ARE in the CITY CHURCH or in the DESERT (VILLAGE) LOCAL CHURCH, you shouldn’t be mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – for it is the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST – for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 3:10-13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-19.

“. . . Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Act 8:1-40

We live today in the times of pendamic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed,  persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds; while there’s yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH,  LOVE and such like the more – for all the hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances in our world. Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 2:68-75.

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to blame or curse or accuse or transfer aggressions to others. While some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in other to have holds over them in their vulnerability.

And what people needs today in the midst of the current situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, family and communities; much more, they need HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can WELL them out of THAT life darkness in exchange with the fountains of peace, personal worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. And it will take a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, to make it possible; that’s why you ARE of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Proverbs 4:18; Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19.

And a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of personal and or people challenges and circumstances; this is the order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times.

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, satanic cohorts preachers was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advance to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City. Acts 8; Philippians 1:15-18.

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advance in your life and those about you, PREACH/LIVE CHRIST and PREACH/LIVE THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS.

I am been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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 Saul was CONSENTING unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made HAVOCK of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT. . 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

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

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE US MEET (QUALIFIED) to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14.

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7.

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36.

“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.

“Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU, WHICH ALSO YE HAVE RECEIVED, AND WHEREIN YE STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that CHRIST DIED for our SINS according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

“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.
