YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE

YOU ARE BORN OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS TO THRIVE: YOU ARE NOT TO SURVIVE AND YOU ARE NOT A SURVIVAL!

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

It’s time to live and speak well of who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus stead and not what life circumstances and situations wants you to be and or be defined by and classed, when you know it contradicts who and what you are and have become in the New Creation Testament of God’s BLESSEDNESS.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as He CHOSE us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 having PREDESTINED us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will” Ephesians 1:3-5.

Therefore, don’t just EXIST – LIFE IS WORTH THE LIVING – LIVE it then – make it HAPPEN – make each day count and account for your good and goodness, according to God’s word, by God’s divine power, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“GRACE and PEACE be multiplied to you in the KNOWLEDGE of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His DIVINE POWER has GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that PERTAIN to LIFE and GODLINESS, through the KNOWLEDGE of Him who CALLED us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been GIVEN to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4/NKJV.

And know for SURE today, that living is about the bonding and abiding within us, of these elements of God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus:

    ** HOPE

    ** FAITH

    ** LOVE

“And now abide FAITH, HOPE, LOVE, these three; but the greatest of these is love” 1 Corinthians 13:13.

“Remembering without ceasing your WORK of FAITH, and LABOUR of LOVE, and PATIENCE of HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father” 1 Thessalonians 1:3.

And in Christ Jesus, it is in our applying these elements in the principles of the context, as we do life and live godly in God’s graciousness and gracefulness, that we THRIVE and BECOME in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL by any means in the world.

** By been PATIENCE in whatever you are so keen to pursue and achieve in HOPE;

** By endeavouring to live through LOVE in all you set to LABOUR to achieve;

** And by ensuring FAITH as a living currency in your process of WORK to achieve that desired intent.

Our God in redemption has not only delivered us and translated us [Colossians 1:13-14] in Christ Jesus, but have promised to DELIVER us daily from the evil that’s in this our present world. The evil and wickedness of all sorts that creates the effects that had made some to be under the shadows of the survival of the fittest as the saying goes. God knows that His WILL in His WORD, can cause us to access His promises for our inheritance, that’s available and set ready for all whom He had SANCTIFIED – set apart, in redemption in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“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.

“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” Acts 20:32.

I urge you in Christ Jesus, to always MEASURE your living WORTH by the ingredients of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE even as in God’s word. I PRAY that our God of HOPE, FAITH and LOVE, may abound with you more and more in everyway in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Have a BLESSED day as you THRIVE in grace by the word, and NEVER on the badge of a survival or surviving while in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

ENSURING THE PROFITABLE LIVING IN THE FAITH

By 1 Comment

ENSURING THE PROFITABLE LIVING IN THE FAITH: LIMITED BY AN UNBELIEF!

“BLESSED be the Lord, who DAILY LOADETH US WITH BENEFITS, even the God of our SALVATION. Selah” Psalms 68:19.

Our God of the heavens and the earth, have ensured in His assured redemption in Christ Jesus, that all who comes to know and accept Him as the only true God and in Christ Jesus by FAITH, through the effectual working of the Holy Spirit of conviction and conversion, are to be beneficiary’s of His BLESSEDNESS [Acts 20:20-21; John 17:2; John 3:16]. And to ensure His word, we are enjoined to know in the Holy writ of Psalms 68:19, that God in His BLESSEDNESS wants us to have LOADS of the BENEFITS of being His people in Christ Jesus as the chosen generation [1 Peter 2:9-10]. And He ensures that we are LOADED DAILY with His BENEFITS (PROFITS) in the BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead as enjoined the Holy writ of Psalms 68:19 above.

And having a BEFITTING LIFE, means having a PROFITABLE LIVING; and it’s in God’s good hearted thoughts, plans and intentions for His children. And He wants to give ALL His children a hope and a future in His set default in redemption rights and privileges in Christ Jesus – and this rights and privileges in redemption, have been rightly set in place from the beginning of time as a default. And it’s of our CHOICE to ensure that our God’s intent for us to have a PROFITABLE LIVING as we SERVE Him ACCEPTABLY and WORSHIP in WORTHILY in spirit and in truth comes to reality.

“A GLORIOUS THRONE, set on HIGH from the BEGINNING, is the PLACE of our sanctuary (the temple)” Jeremiah 17:12/AMP.

“For I know the THOUGHTS and PLANS that I have for you, says the Lord, THOUGHTS and PLANS for WELFARE and PEACE and NOT FOR EVIL, to give you HOPE in your FINAL OUTCOME” Jeremiah 29:11/AMP [Classic Edition]

Having now known that, to BENEFIT is to PROFIT in any endeavour of exercise, especially in the fulness of God’s given grace, upon which we stand justified by faith and have access by faith, toward God and faith in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ – what manner of person ought we to be in order to have the promised PROFITABLE LIVING [BENEFITING LIFE] to become a daily reality as we do life and live godly.

Now you’ve known God’s gracious intent and plans and thoughts towards you, you need to know that the major predicament, danger, limitation or hindrance that will prohibits and take us off from having the daily ASSURED PROFITABLE LIVING is UNBELIEF. Unbelief is a spiritual cancerous disease that’s unbounding in affecting the reason why many are not actualising the fulness of God’s promised BLESSEDNESS in redemption.

The effects and results of UNBELIEF it’s that it takes one to unscriptural places while others do find themselves in places they ought not to be in seeking for answers. Some ends up in sorcery, divining, witchcraft, magic and such like places eventually as in [Deuteronomy 18:9-14; Acts 19:13-20]; and while some overtime find themselves in the hands of falsehoods ministers as ‘Simon of Samaria’ and many others who appears as angels of light and ministers of God but are ravening wolves in sheep clothing’s and Satan cohorts agents that infiltrating into the Church [Acts 8:9-25 (1-25); 2 Corinthians 11:13-15; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; Matthew 7:15; Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

UNBELIEF have robbed many of their BLESSEDNESS in redemption. And God abhors those who have UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING toward His word – written or spoken or by any format factor in context, to meet their respective needs of Him. UNBELIEF hinders FAITH operation in every endeavour that one intend to embarks upon in the name of God. For without FAITH it’s impossible to please God [Hebrews 11:6]. And it’s impossible to OVERCOME the world system of doing life that contravenes the default of God and that’s set in operation to give one the assured profitable living according to the scripture [1 John 5:4-5]. For all things is possible with God and to them that believe only.

“But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is IMPOSSIBLE; but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE” Matthew 19:26 [Mark 10:27].

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst BELIEVE, ALL THINGS are POSSIBLE to him that BELIEVETH” Mark 9:23.

UNBELIEF creates fears; and fear phobia’s torments, subverts and keeps one from actualising the enabling gracious gifts and power of God [2 Timothy 1:6-7; 1 John 4:17-18; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 1:68-75]; the spirit of fear is not only that it leads to bondages, but it’s a bondage and it captivates the human spirit, making life a challenging and difficult atmosphere to ensure that the assured PROFITABLE LIVING becomes a reality.

“Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou STIR UP THE GIFT of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath NOT GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR [TIMIDITY, COWARDICE]; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but perfect love CASTETH OUT FEAR: because FEAR hath TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . . .  74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of THE HAND of our ENEMIES might SERVE HIM WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life” Luke 1:68-75.

And with the grip of fear, it makes the redeemed intending to serve God question God’s word and doubt Him through UNBELIEF. Hence, UNBELIEF is not of God; God detest UNBELIEF; and Jesus emphasised it severally, over and over in His humanity, that UNBELIEF will rob one of the BLESSEDNESS in Him, in redemption, and hinders the Father God’s intent – which is to LOAD US DAILY, with the benefitting life [profitable living] as ASSUREDLY promised.

“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, WHY COULD NOT WE CAST HIM OUT? 20 And Jesus said unto them, BECAUSE OF YOUR UNBELIEF: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” Matthew 17:19-20 [Matthew 13:57-58].

“And he could there DO NO MIGHTY WORK, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6 And He MARVELLED because of their UNBELIEF. And he went round about the villages, teaching” Mark 6:5-6 [Mark 16:14-15].

And in the context of the Believer’s of God in Christ Jesus, PROFITABLE LIVING it’s all about experiencing the BENEFITS as a beneficiary – having a BENEFITTING LIFE [PROFITABLE LIVING] in the FAITH of God in Christ Jesus. There’s an assured profitable living in the FAITH wherein God had set us free in Christ Jesus. And Father God in our redemption in Christ Jesus, wants us to profit, that’s to benefit in the fulness of His grace for us. Unbelief is the act of not mixing the word of God with FAITH to PLEASE God and the ABSENCE of God in one’s life – for only by FAITH that one can bring about their earnest desires into fruition through God’s word in Christ Jesus. For the children of ISRAELITES did not PROFIT to enter their promised BLESSEDNESS, simply because of UNBELIEF [a rejection and an absence of God]. They arrogantly did not mix the preached word they heard with faith and it costs them deadly at the end.

“For unto us was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as unto them: but THE WORD PREACHED DID NOT PROFIT THEM, not being MIXED with FAITH in them that heard it” Hebrews 4:2.

“For indeed we have had the GLAD TIDINGS [GOSPEL OF GOD] PROCLAIMED to us just as truly as they [the ISRAELITES of old did when the GOOD NEWS of deliverance from bondage came to them]; but the MESSAGE they heard DID NOT BENEFIT them, because it was NOT MIXED WITH FAITH (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they united in faith with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe)” Hebrews 4:2/AMP [Classic Edition].

“Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of UNBELIEF, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be HARDENED through the DECEITFULNESS of sin . . . 18 And to whom SWARE He that they should NOT ENTER INTO HIS REST, BUT TO THEM THAT BELIEVED NOT? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of UNBELIEF” Hebrews 3:12-13, 28-19.

Many will God to hell on eternal damnation for their UNBELIEF. For simply on them not believing that God’s love for them in His Son Jesus Christ, and for the UNBELIEF cause in totality in the rejection of the redemption essence and for the UNBELIEF cause in undermining the complete and wholesome actualisation of the PROFITABLE LIVING, as enjoined in the scriptures for their well-being.

“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should NOT PERISH, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him might be SAVED. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“And [at the same time] Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and confidently, saying, “It was necessary that God’s message [of salvation through faith in Christ] be spoken to you [Jews] first. Since you REPUDIATE it and JUDGE yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we turn to the Gentiles . . . 48 When the Gentiles HEARD this, they began rejoicing and glorifying [praising and giving thanks for] the word of the Lord; and all those who had been appointed (designated, ordained) to eternal life [by God] BELIEVED [in Jesus as the Christ and their Savior]” Acts 13:46, 48/AMP.

“. . . 9 For in Him [Christ Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM [CHRIST JESUS], which is the head of all principality and power . . .” Colossians 2:8-15.

The Bible, which is God-breathed WORD, it’s God’s instructions, counsel, correction, restoration, training and such like, for our PROFITABLE LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. And it’s as we LIVE through the SCRIPTURES in faith on the WORD of grace, we can share in the promised BLESSEDNESS, as many others before us, in our PROFITABLE LIVING inheritance in Him.

“All SCRIPTURE is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is PROFITABLE for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work“ 2 Timothy 3:16-17/Amplified [AMP].

“For WHATEVER was WRITTEN in earlier TIMES was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the SCRIPTURES we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES” Romans 15:4/Amplified [AMP].

“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” Acts 20:32.

Therefore, I do hope that you can now be intentional and pragmatical today, to be resolved within you, to start living by FAITH and BELIEVING God and His WORD, instead of living in UNBELIEF and UNBELIEVING that robs you of the best of God, as you choose to step up in an onward and upward trajectory, as do life and live godly, in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Blessed read.

WELCOME TO “MARCH 2024” MONTH THEME: THE “PROFITABLE LIVING” MONTH!

“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 [WHOLE, COMPLETE, MATURE], throughly FURNISHED unto all GOOD WORKS” 2 Timothy 3:16-17/Emphasis Mine.

You are WELCOME to the Month MARCH – the Month of “PROFITABLE LIVING” as you step up and take your JUSTIFIED and ACCESS stand in the FAITH in Christ Jesus; it’s the Month for you to ensure that your assured rights and privileges in REDEMPTION as given in God’s promise BLESSEDNESS, now becomes your reality and your onward and upward trajectory, in obtaining your predestined INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS BY FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

This an opportune MONTH to start acting on the believe of God’s word by FAITH, especially in your justified and access stand in the grace, in order to ensure that the assured “PROFITABLE LIVING” as promised in our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead, now BECOMES your reality in your DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY by the word in contrary to the children of Israel whose UNBELIEF robs them of their reality. For GODLINESS is PROFITABLE in all that pertains to doing life in this world and the life to come.

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise PROFITETH little: but GODLINESS is PROFITABLE unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come . . . 13 Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to EXHORTATION, to DOCTRINE. 14 NEGLECT NOT THE GIFT that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 meditate upon these things; GIVE thyself WHOLLY to them; that thy PROFITING may appear to all” 1 Timothy 4:7-8, 13-15.

“For UNTO us was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as UNTO them: but the WORD PREACHED did not PROFIT [BENEFIT] them, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it” Hebrews 4:2/Emphasis Mine.

For in Hebrews 4:2, the scripture gives a clear summary picture of the children of Israel mindset, on why they couldn’t have their assured inheritance and enter the FULLNESS of the promised land with the promised BLESSEDNESS; and are yet the a covenant people with promised blessings, but it were eluded and eroded from many of them in their time. The short and simple storyline is because the children of Israel were asked to produce one person from each tribes to make up the twelve tribes mission, who were to go and spy the land in respect of God’s plan for them to possess the land and have it as an inheritance in their own promised BLESSEDNESS of the Gospel PREACHED to them.

“For indeed we have had the GOOD NEWS [of salvation] PREACHED to us, just as the Israelites also [when the GOOD NEWS of the promised land came to them]; but the message they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not UNITED with FAITH [in God] by those who heard” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [AMP].

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the HEATHEN through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then THEY which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

And the twelve chosen, all heard the same pulpit GOSPEL messages of God’s promised BLESSEDNESS for the land to possess as an inheritance as PREACHED to them. Since there were no written WORD as it is today, they all heard the unadulterated and undiluted Gospel word from the same servant of God – Moses; and all messages in public to all, and in same day and date, were all preached to of the Gospel of promise as the scriptures enjoined to all and especially to same people [twelve] who were going for the spying expedition; unfortunately, the Gospel PREACHED to them did not PROFIT [BENEFIT] them because of the UNBELIEF to God’s PREACHED word; and worst still, is the UNBELIEF feedback from the ten to the congregation which undermined the other two [Joshua and Caleb] who believed the PREACHED word and came back with hope and assurance to profit [benefit] the people of God.

“For indeed we have had the GLAD TIDINGS [GOSPEL of God] PROCLAIMED to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the GOOD NEWS OF DELIVERANCE from bondage came to them]; but the MESSAGE they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not MIXED with FAITH (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they UNITED in FAITH with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe)” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [CLASSIC EDITION]

The consequence and a result of the UNBELIEF, is that many died in the wilderness and couldn’t enter into their inherit nor the promised BLESSEDNESS of God as GIVEN and PREACHED to them. It was only the two [Joshua and Caleb] of the twelve spies and few others younger generations who believed the gospel that was PREACHED to them by the two [Joshua and Caleb], entered their INHERITANCE and the promised BLESSEDNESS of God as per the Gospel PREACHED and BELIEVED. More so, the GOSPEL didn’t PROFIT [BENEFIT] them because they didn’t MIXED the same PREACHED Gospel messages with FAITH in the faithfulness of God to His unfailing and authoritative WORD, that He’s able to ensure that the assured promised BLESSEDNESS will come to fruition in their life’s for an inheritance.

“And we desire that every one of you do shew the same DILIGENCE to the full assurance of hope unto the end: 12 that ye be NOT SLOTHFUL, but FOLLOWERS of them who through FAITH and PATIENCE INHERIT the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12.

“And we desire for each one of you to show the SAME DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to REALIZE and ENJOY the FULL assurance of HOPE until the end, 12 so that you will not be [SPIRITUALLY] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through FAITH [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by PATIENT endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the PROMISES” Hebrews 6:11-12/Amplified [AMP].

And there are many out there today who earnestly desire the promises of God by the Gospel come to pass and have fruition in their lives but are not having it come to reality as promised. And in most of the time, it’s the same UNBELIEF and not MIXING up the preached GOSPEL by FAITH. And some, instead of them returning to the WORD of God to resolve the missing links, some have resolved to seek or go into the another form of Gospel that leads to PERVERT, ADULTERATION and INDOCTRINATIONS and religious oblations and such like as Apostle Paul warns and other Apostle request that we contend steadfastly in the faith against them [Philippians 1:15-18; Galatians 1:6-9; Jude 1:3-4; 1 Peter 5:8-10].

Today some have RESOLVED and are DEVOTED to religion and religiosity and of course are getting no way with it apart from further bondages. While others are cumbersome with lots and loads of INFORMATION without experiencing the TRANSFORMATION desired of God’s promised word to them because it’s not mixed with FAITH that results to the REVELATION of the word of God. Faith is of the realms of revelation and not just a mere word or statement. That’s why a mere BELIEVE is not enough, because the devil also believes, but trembles and have no access into the redemptive BLESSEDNESS of God for the REDEEMED in Christ Jesus by faith.

“Thou BELIEVEST that there is one God; thou doest well: the DEVILS also BELIEVE, and TREMBLE” James 2:19.

There’s DANGER of UNBELIEF in our midst today – and many have not MIXED the gospel PREACHED and BEING PREACHED to them with FAITH; as such, many are not having and experiencing the PROFITABLE LIVING by the WORD as promised in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; hence we have now a FAITHLESS generation – and their UNBELIEVING makes faith inactive and they can’t fathom God in all their doings – full of zealousness without revelation knowledge of the word that’s of FAITH. And an UNBELIEF to God’s WORD is detestable to God. And none can have a PROFITABLE LIVING by the GOSPEL in a state of unbelief and more so, not mixing the word of God by faith. [Mark 6:5-6; Hebrews 4:2; John 3:16-18; Acts 13:46, 48]. Just know that to BELIEVE is PASSIVE while FAITH is ACTIVE – meaning, FAITH is acting correspondingly on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD in the context accordingly. Hence a mere BELIEVE is not enough to PROFITABLE LIVING with God untill FAITH is activated – acted upon in the revelation of that word in context.

“For WHATSOEVER things were WRITTEN AFORETIME were WRITTEN for our LEARNING, that we through patience and comfort of the SCRIPTURES might HAVE hope” Romans 15:4.

“For WHATEVER was WRITTEN in earlier TIMES was WRITTEN for our INSTRUCTION, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the SCRIPTURES we might have HOPE and OVERFLOW with CONFIDENCE in His PROMISES” Romans 15:4/Amplified [AMP].

The Bible, the WORD is God’s instructions for our profitable living. And undermining it’s place in our lives will cause us from profitable living in spite of all our religion and religiosity.

Today, I welcome you to Month MARCH, the month of PROFITABLE LIVING in our assured promised word of God, in our rights and privileges in redemption, in Christ Jesus stead, Amen; and therefore, call you to awake to a PROFITABLE LIVING as God’s child. God had by His grace promised to give us a hope and a future. It comes by believing in His promised word without compromise and adulteration and indoctrinations to denominational creed, bylaws and traditional dogmas but by having FAITH – that’s to acting upon the word of God accordingly as written and preached in the context of any subject irrespective and without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

Be Blessed.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“All SCRIPTURE is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is PROFITABLE for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; 17 so that the man of God may be complete and proficient, outfitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work” 2 Timothy 3:16-17/Amplified [AMP].

“For WHATSOEVER things were WRITTEN AFORETIME were WRITTEN for our LEARNING, that we through patience and comfort of the SCRIPTURES might HAVE hope” Romans 15:4.

“For unto us was the GOSPEL PREACHED, as well as unto them: but the WORD PREACHED did not PROFIT them, not being MIXED WITH FAITH in them that heard it” Hebrews 4:2.

“For indeed we have had the GOOD NEWS [of salvation] PREACHED to us, just as the Israelites also [when the GOOD NEWS of the promised land came to them]; but the message they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not UNITED with FAITH [in God] by those who heard” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [AMP].

“For indeed we have had the GLAD TIDINGS [GOSPEL of God] PROCLAIMED to us just as truly as they [the Israelites of old did when the GOOD NEWS OF DELIVERANCE from bondage came to them]; but the MESSAGE they heard did not BENEFIT them, because it was not MIXED with FAITH (with the leaning of the entire personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness) by those who heard it; neither were they UNITED in FAITH with the ones [Joshua and Caleb] who heard (did believe)” Hebrews 4:2/Amplified [CLASSIC EDITION].

“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be BLESSED. 9 So then THEY which be of faith ARE BLESSED with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.

“But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8 For bodily exercise PROFITETH little: but GODLINESS is PROFITABLE unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come . . . 13 Till I come, give ATTENDANCE to READING, to EXHORTATION, to DOCTRINE. 14 NEGLECT NOT THE GIFT that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 meditate upon these things; GIVE thyself WHOLLY to them; that thy PROFITING may appear to all” 1 Timothy 4:7-8, 13-15.

“Grace and peace be multiplied unto you THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 according as his DIVINE POWER hath GIVEN unto us all things that pertain unto LIFE and GODLINESS, THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are GIVEN unto us exceeding great and PRECIOUS PROMISES: that by these ye might be PARTAKERS of the DIVINE NATURE, having ESCAPED the CORRUPTION that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1:2-4.

“If the iron be BLUNT, and he do not WHET the edge, then must he put to MORE STRENGTH: but WISDOM is PROFITABLE to direct” Ecclesiastes 10:10.

“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.
