YEAR/JANUARY 2023 – GEARED UP TO EXERCISE THE DARING FORCE OF FAITH: IT’S YOUR SYNERGY – TO A COLOURFUL, MEANINGFUL, PURPOSEFUL FULFILMENT – IN LIFE AND GODLY LIVING!
“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the KINGDOM of heaven suffereth VIOLENCE (OPPOSITION), and THE VIOLENT (DARING) TAKE IT BY FORCE (FAITH) “ Mathew 11:12 (Emphasis Mine).
May I say that the path to a colourful, thriving, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilment in DOING LIFE and GODLINESS are not built on MERE WISHES or WISHY-WASHY PROPHECIES. Otherwise as the saying goes, if WISHES where HORSES, BEGGAR’S will ride; and I add, I will own it too. Hence it’s written, that FAITH without corresponding ACTION is dead been alone.
“. . . 14 But wilt thou know, O VAIN man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? . . . 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD ALSO” James 2:14-26.
It’s Scripturally true and certainly, that God wants you to TRIUMPH always and in every place in doing LIFE and godly LIVING – 2 Corinthians 2:14. But colourful and blossoming living is not for the COWARDS, the MERE DREAMERS, the FEARFUL, the PRESUMPTUOUS, the TIMID, IGNORANT, SLOTHFUL (SLUGGARD) and those who are only craven in such like while expecting GREATNESS. Also, GRACIOUS and GRACEFUL living is not for those who don’t want to ARISE and GEARED UP, to put their FAITH to work; more so, to take on their life TEST CHALLENGES by the FORCE OF FAITH to make their PURPOSEFUL Living out of it and turn their MESS into a MESSAGE and TEST into TESTIMONY by grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“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.
Colourful, meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling life is for those who are DETERMINED to DARE and GEARED UP to EXERCISE their FAITH in the Lord no matter what it takes. People who are determined to leap over their walls of opposition BY THE FORCE OF FAITH. It may start small, but are geared to ensure that their FAITH IS AT WORK for their TRIUMPH. For each in Christ is given THE MEASURE OF FAITH by THE MEASURE OF GRACE also, to do life and triumph in all phase of living.
FAITH IS NOT A DOCTRINE OR CREED to be merely PREACHED but a divine mystery, that’s geared as the SYNERGY and DEFAULT in our lifestyle that we must LIVE OUT on a daily basis in order to be JUSTIFIED to reign and rule in dominion. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; Romans 5:1-2; 1John 5:4-5; 1 Timothy 3:9.
Only those who take a stand by the TRIUMPHANT FORCE OF THEIR FAITH that can take their opportunities and possibilities with time to overcome every opposition to their colourful life in the Lord.
Will you do that today and onwards and upwards to make your life meaningful and fulfilling? You need to EXERCISE THE DARING FORCE OF FAITH against the enemy and cohorts if you must win your day daily in YEAR/JANUARY 2023.
I pray you will DARE and GEARED UP your CHALLENGES and FEARS by the enabling of God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in the VICTORIOUS FAITH in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“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” 1 Timothy 4:7-8.
“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the DAYS of John the Baptist until now the KINGDOM of heaven suffereth VIOLENCE (OPPOSITION), AND THE VIOLENT (DARING) TAKE IT BY FORCE (FAITH)”. Matthew 11:11-12 Emphasis Mine.
“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.
“But unto every one of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE OF THE GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.
“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.
“For WHATSOEVER IS BORN of God OVERCOMETH the world: and this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMETH the world, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that OVERCOMETH the world, but he that BELIEVETH that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.
“HOLDING the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of offence TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.
“Through FAITH we understand that the WORLDS WERE FRAMED BY THE WORD of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear . . . 6 But WITHOUT FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to PLEASE him: for he that cometh to God must BELIEVE that he is, and that he is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek him” Hebrews 11:3, 6..
