NOT ASHAMED: TO – PREACH – TEACH – AND MINISTER – THE GOSPEL TO ANY!

Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED to PREACH, TEACH, AND MINISTER the GOSPEL to the unreached, untouched, and unsaved within your family, community, and environment? Do you know the cost of a soul?

“. . . .They that TRUST in their WEALTH, and BOAST themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor GIVE to God a ransom for him, 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth for ever:) 9 that he should still live forever, and not see corruption . . . “ Psalms 49:1-20 Amplified.

The cost of a soul is not qualified or quantified by any de facto currency and nothing on earth can be equivalent to amount to the cost of that soul near you, that might need the Gospel while you yet passed by as if it doesn’t matter.

There’s NO contention, controversy, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) in the GOSPEL – and that’s what makes it unique in all in making difference in all 

“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.

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 everyone 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.

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumbling block, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

“Therefore, they that were scattered abroad went everywhere 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” Acts 8:4-8.

“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. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

“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” Matthew 9:35.

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to PREACH the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:16-22.

“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.

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH

From The CITY CHURCH To The DESERT CHURCH: THE HEAVENLY MANDATE –  THAT’S ONLY POSSIBLE BY HUMILITY!

The CITY CHURCHES and DESERT CHURCHES are not numbers, but people of God’s CREATION that WORTH every resource of the heavenly. Sometimes in the CAUSE of OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate, our absolute dedication and commitment to excellence in the Kingdom services are pruned to justify our ESSENCE – motives, in the services of God and to increase productivity in God’s terms – John 15:1-16. And your ability to RESPOND and not REACT in God’s terms thus indicate the assurance and faithfulness one had without prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) TOWARD God’s mandate upon one, in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace. And God’s terms could be in ratios, for example 1:1000 or 1000:1, meaning it’s not by our human calculation even as it said in this scripture:

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that ONE day is with the Lord as a THOUSAND years, and a THOUSAND years as ONE day” 2 Peter 3:8.

There are many people today, who when they are relocated from their CITY CHURCH placement of glamour and multitudes, to  less, the DESERT CHURCH of no glamour and multitudes per excellence, they will swiftly resign from the services of such creation in terms. They may either kick start theirs as a sign and way of rebel and not of necessity, and or REACT by complaining and murmuring and in contention, throughout their time frame away from their CITY CHURCH glamour and multitude per excellence, while at the DESERT CHURCH placemen if they eventually make a move as in this holy writ:

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, not SINCERELY, supposing to ADD AFFLICTION to my bonds: 17 but the other of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the gospel. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18.

You see this same scenario above, also in MATTERS of life when there is shift in life rankings, positions and placements, to a very different place outside our comfort zone of glamour per excellence. Some people  may live through such moment, by cursing and attributing it to witch-hunts and all manner of assertions; and some other may be doing some legislative sessions to gang up a scene in order to win support and to authenticate their spirituality to placement; and in ensuring they stay in a particular spot all through life without craving to innovative and be creative, which in essence would have helped them to initiate and explore beyond walls and be more matured and humbled in terms.

God is the only one who determines time and season with His own – Acts 17:24-31. And He’s not subject to any human factors of any sorts and does not consult any opinion to ascertain the good for His purpose and will in any man – Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11. And in God’s intent to process and prune us, so that we become more effectual, productive and result oriented, His CHANGE in us in His terms is a NECESSITY, so that we can be meaningful and able to fulfill His PURPOSE and ESSENCE in us – 1 Corinthians 9:15-17; He may sometimes and most times, shift our place for His Kingdom advancement and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay as He prune us into bearing much more fruit from a no fruit bearing in His terms – John 15:1-16. If you don’t know and understand what it means to be obedient in the heavenly mandate, you will be fighting and wrestling with God and man, thinking someone else is undoubtedly undoing you in order to bring you down and rob you of who you’ve claimed you are called of God to be in Him.

However, if you want to eat the good of the Kingdom, you must humble yourself in OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE shift as Evangelist Philip did with God, irrespective of his placement in a glamour CITY CHURCH. He, in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE and CAUSES, RESPONDED instead of REACTING to the ministerial shift, from a glamour and joyful SAMARIA CITY CHURCH to a lone one member Ethiopian man DESERT CHURCH. Acts 8:1-40. Only eternity can and would be able to explain in full detail the implications of that mission to the DESERT CHURCH from the CITY CHURCH. Can you do that TODAY? Can you respond and say – YES LORD, to that next shift in your life and or Ministry? Can you afford to change job or be allowed to be transferred to a less glamour place to work and do life? Have you ever questioned while God has PLACED you in certain places that naturally you would not have wish or want to be? Have you come to terms with your life with God, that wherever He leads, you are willing to be OBEDIENT and to say – YES LORD, and follow? These and such like you need to THINK wisely about, before you can WORTH the saying of YES to: “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE” as Evangelist Philip of Acts 8:1-40.

God is raising an ARMY today that will take the GOSPEL beyond walls of denomination and land. He’s not just raising people only into the MINISTERIAL calls but into SECULAR and CIVIC duties. And it may not likely be in the place of your CHOICE sometimes. And the God intent and essence is that through your profession you can MAKE the Gospel to the reach of all – from the CITY to the DESERT. You are that CHURCH, that God is building and raising. It’s not the denomination or cathedral architectural building as some may purport. The DESERT CHURCH is that Local and Community assembly near you, that VILLAGE and DEPRAVED PLACE that your presence is a goldmine and precious stones missionary to the people there. You don’t have to be only in Ministerial outfits to OBEY the heavenly mandate. Your skill and talent is an absolute opportunity and your AVAILABILITY is all that God needs, so that He can lavishly pour His ABILITY in you and through you to make the difference and to make it all good to become in every respect. It’s all about becoming the MISSIONARY to meet the MISSION need in your time – either by direct ministerial calling of God or through your professional skills and trade – that’s if you can envision as Apostle Paul foresaw  in the Apostolic days of being fully committed and dedicated to advance the cause of God’s Kingdom and to keep the enemy at bay – Acts 16:8-10

“And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a VISION appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, COME OVER into Macedonia, and HELP US. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to PREACH THE GOSPEL unto them”

I pray that you take time to examine your life very closely, in order to ensure you know and understand God’s intent for you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING in His grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen; this is very important, and it’s graciousness and gracefulness for your well-being is beyond description; this knowing and understanding is good for you in context and essence, before you start legislating spirituality in ignorance, through some unwarranted and uninformed PRAYERS acts as many have done and live unfulfilled.

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9.

“But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16 For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have nothing to glory of: for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:15-17.

“But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16 For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have nothing to glory of: for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:15-17.

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2023 – ENTITLED: THE GOSPEL! “The POWER of God, for your SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS” in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.

“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.

IT’S TIME YOU –  PREACH IT, TEACH IT, ADMINISTER IT AND LIVE IT in full, in order to ensure your SALVATION is actualised in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus; otherwise, you will live through control, counterfeit, dogmas, adulteration, human philosophy, bylaws and creeds of denominationised and culturalised tradition of men that makes THE GOSPEL, which is THE POWER and THE WORD of God to be of no effect in all as written:

“So you NULLIFY the [authority of the] WORD of God [acting as if it did not apply] because of your TRADITION which you have handed down [through the ELDERS]. And you DO MANY THINGS such as that” Mark 7:13 Amplified.

May I remind you for assurance, that the MONTH JUNE, is the sixth month and the end month of the first half of the calendar year, in the Gregorian and Julian  calendar Month; and it’s the 2nd of the 4th in number, of the months of 30days in the twelve months annual calendar.

And as in Month JUNE, the name JUNE, is also a lovely given name to the female gender of the sexes which is of great significance. For the Month JUNE as in the name JUNE, expresses in essence, the FULLNESS of life, and it’s of a profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality. Thus, it indicate how that God wants us to THRIVE instead of SURVIVE, and to live PURPOSEFULLY and MEANINGFULLY in all of our life endeavours, as we do life and live godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And the best place of having the FULNESS of Life and profound FULFILMENT of desires and vitality is by engaging and following in obedience, God’s plan PATH for your life as in the holy writ – (Ephesians 2:10; Psalms 16:11; Proverbs 4:18-23; Colossians 4:17; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11; Philippians 2:1-18).

Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, is our living example of walking in obedience, toward the cause of God, and concerning the following of God’s planned PATH to ensure fulness and FULFILMENT – to PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER the Gospel to all – Luke 4:16-22; Matthew 9:35; Hebrews 5:8 (1-10. He live to fulfill the CAUSE and PURPOSE for which He was in humanity, leaving us by His life as a living example to follow, in following God’s lead as written – (John 18:37; 1 John 3:8; Philippians 2:1-11; Hebrews 5:7-9)

And the knowing that God’s thought in His GRACE and BLESSEDNESS toward you is good and faithful, true and sure, and it’s of the hope for today and the future, you need to get engaged in following His kingdom cause concerning you which is to PREACH, TEACH, MINISTER and LIVE –  THE GOSPEL. For therein you can find the FULNESS and FULFILMENT as He is FAITHFUL in our starts up and He’s able to see it complete in ALL, as it’s written – (Philippians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 5:24; Hebrews 10:23; 1 Corinthians 1:9; 1 Corinthians 10:13; Romans 8:28; Jeremiah 29:11)

The FULNESS and FULFILMENT is in continuous obedience to the demand of – THE  GOSPEL – wherein our SALVATION entails.  And the act of OBEDIENCE to the cause of the GOSPEL, is better than any form sacrifice to undo the GOSPEL in the otherwise.  Isaiah 1:19; Job 36:11-12; 1 Samuel 15:23.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS, that as you follow to OBEY God’s plan PATH – TO PREACH, TEACH, MINISTER AND LIVE – THE GOSPEL, you stir up the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus for your well-being in all that pertains to DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And that’s what you by MONTH JUNE will expresses into the FULLNESS of life, profound FULFILMENT in all your hearts earnest desires and vitality and in all that pertains to DOING LIFE and GODLY LIVING in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

In all diligence, endeavour to PREACH, TEACH, ADMINISTER and LIVE – THE GOSPEL, for God loves and cares about you, so do I, in His grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. 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.

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24.

“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” Acts 8:4-8.

“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. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

“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” Matthew 9:35.

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:16-22.

“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.

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I WAS NOT DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY VISION: 20 but shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance” Acts 26:19-20

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION

By Leave a Comment

THE GOSPEL – THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION: PREACH IT – TEACH IT – MINISTER IT AND LIVE IT – FOR THEREIN IT’S YOUR SALVATION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“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.

The GOSPEL is the ANSWER to every single quest in your life and in all humans and human history for today, tomorrow as it was yesterday – Hebrews 13:8. Unfortunately, many have been blinded and blindsided out of the GOSPEL so that they can be controlled and be made to be pursuing alternatives (through creeds, religion, bylaws, culturalised and traditional dogmas and denominational entanglement and such like) – and as such, many have been in perpetual subjection and bondages till this day, while the reality of the GOSPEL that ANSWERS to all human quest for SALVATION and that also REVEALS the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God, still speaks in our midst today for all to experience and to have a complete and wholesome liberation of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. Romans 1:16-17.

It’s only by the GOSPEL that the enabling POWER of God for human SALVATION and to take a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is made readily available in His grace and BLESSEDNESS – Romans 5:1-2. And it’s by the GOSPEL that we obtain the right to attain the revelation of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS to one and all. And SALVATION is synonymous with REDEMPTION only that in the NEW CREATION context, it’s not exclusive to about just being born of God – it entails the followings but not limited – HEALTH, PEACE, SECURITY, PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE and such like the more. The GOSPEL ought to be PREACHED, TAUGHT, ADMINISTERED and to be LIVED for the SALVATION of people, resulting the constituent of SALVATION as mentioned to become – ALIVE, TANGIBLE, REACHABLE, LIVEABLE AND LOVABLE; unfortunately today, what one sees now and again as per the last days happenings – (if look around you closely and or far off for some), is that people are now staged and managed in deception, counterfeits, adulteration, delusions and such like, with the idea of pursuing the constituents of SALVATION without the GOSPEL instead of them being PREACHED, TAUGHT and MINISTERED to with the GOSPEL that is the POWER of God to bring about the constituents we need to stay in RIGHTEOUSNESS on the victory and triumph realms and lanes, in Christ Jesus stead as written:

“I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause DISSENSIONS and CREATE OBSTACLES or INTRODUCE temptations [for others] to commit sin, [acting in ways] CONTRARY to the DOCTRINE which you have LEARNED. Turn away from them. 18 For such people do not SERVE our Lord Christ, but their own APPETITES and BASE DESIRES. By smooth and FLATTERING speech they DECEIVE the hearts of the unsuspecting [the INNOCENT and the NAIVE]” Romans 16:17-18 Amplified.

Know full well this day that the GOSPEL is the POWER of God to human salvation and the revelator of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And Jesus Christ, is that POWER of God to human SALVATION. And it’s only when we PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER Jesus Christ to ourselves and others, that SALVATION comes alive to produce the needs  of the human and and answers to their crave and quests: PEACE, PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE, SECURITY and such like more. Romans 1:16-17; 1 Corinthians 1:24. Acts 8:4-8. And the GOSPEL is about the WORD of God. And Jesus Christ is the WORD of God. 1 John 5:7. And it’s as we PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER the WORD as Philip the evangelists did in the Bible days of the Apostles as in Acts 8:4-8, that’s when the genuine indescribable joy can come alive in an individual and all; and to also silence and put an end to all forms of the falsehood, deception, counterfeit, perverseness and adulterations that have once overwhelmed people in bondages, torments and controls that was at work as one certain man Siimon that uses sorcery and bewitching tactics to enslave people as in Acts 8:9-26.

It’s within the same scenario and similarity of Philip the evangelist PREACH, TEACH and MINISTER the gospel, that Apostle Paul could stand to admonish and exhort the Corinthians to awaken them back to their original foundation of stand in the faith in their salvation – which came to them as a consequence of the GOSPEL he PREACHED TAUGHT and MINISTERED to them. He reminded them through the process that brought them to SALVATION by the gospel in such didactic order for them to know by laying the steps of the Gospel that he stands on, and on which he PREACHED, TAUGHT, and MINISTERED to them before they get carried away as some have already then, and even some in today’s world. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11.

Therefore I say to you, that in this MONTH JUNE, for your onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus, it’s time to stop pursuing the chaff in order to obtain PROSPERITY, DELIVERANCE, PEACE, SECURITY, SAFETY, HEALTH and such like the more outside the GOSPEL that brings about this constituents of SALVATION. For all these in pursuit are the results of SALVATION which is the consequence of the PREACHING, TEACHING and MINISTERING of the Gospel of Christ Jesus for you to LIVE upon. And any other process is sorcery and bewitching – leading to spell, control, self hype, contention and evil in all mannerism and behaviour. Philippians 1:15-18.

“Some indeed PREACH Christ even of ENVY and STRIFE; and some also of GOOD WILL: 16 the one PREACH Christ of CONTENTION, NOT SINCERELY, supposing to ADD affliction to my bonds: 17 but the OTHER of LOVE, knowing that I am set for the DEFENCE of the GOSPEL. 18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in PRETENCE, or in TRUTH, Christ is PREACHED; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice”

Therefore, you need to stop running around the chaff and looking for a DELIVERANCE MINISTER, who will DELIVER you in their so called special ministry of “DELIVERANCE, PROPHETIC, PROSPERITY and PRAYER HOUSE SERVICES and such like; all these they do to your vulnerability, ignorance and stupidity and fooolishness of not knowing and understanding your access to such that’s in GOSPEL as it’s means to an end – in order to hold you captive. And that will result in you buying their specially annointed BOTTLE OF OIL, HANDKERCHIEF, HOLY WATER, SPECIAL BATHING SOAP AND CREAM, JERUSALEM SPRING, FEET OF JESUS SAND, SALT OF GALILEE, BLESSED STICKERS and RED CARDS, and many such like despicable physical items they depicts as means of God. These above mentioned and others is their craft and cunning tactics to extort money and kinds from you in their own made up God-will to bless you or answer to your needs and desires which contradicts the GOSPEL that brings about wholesome SALVATION to you.

“Giving thanks to the Father, who has QUALIFIED us to share in the inheritance of the saints (God’s people) in the Light. 13 For He has RESCUED (DELIVERED) us and has DRAWN (RECONCILED) us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED (TRANSLATED) us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION (SALVATION) [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.

Know this day that, it’s only the GOSPEL – which is by the PREACHING, TEACHING and MINISTERING of Christ Jesus – who is the WORD of God of the GOSPEL – Who is the POWER of God – to bring about the fulness and wholesome SALVATION to you and all human alike irrespective.

AND I SAY AGAIN THAT THE GOSPEL – IS THE POWER OF GOD, FOR YOUR SALVATION. PREACH IT – TEACH IT – MINISTER IT AND LIVE IT – FOR THEREIN IT’S YOUR SALVATION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS!

 SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK ABOUT IT!

WELCOME TO MONTH JUNE 2022: MONTH OF “LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD!”

“Therefore seeing we have THIS MINISTRY, as WE HAVE RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT; 2 but have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake. 6 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. 8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 FOR WHICH CAUSE WE FAINT NOT; BUT THOUGH OUR OUTWARD MAN PERISH, YET THE INWARD MAN IS RENEWED DAY BY DAY. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” 2 Corinthians 4:1-18.

MONTH JUNE 2022 ENTITLED: LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD!

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22.

The MERCY of God means the divine kindness that offsets divine judgment for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes in the cause of LIFE (DOING LIFE) and GRACE (GODLY LIVING). It is the MERCIES of God that enable one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension. In the cause of time in the phases of the divine PURPOSE on our life’s, we frail being humans; and as the Psalms will declare that the Lord knows our frail and frames and it is in living under the cover of His MERCIES that we can keep on keeping on without fainting, being weary and burnt out by the challenging times that we live through each passing day and moments as it’s written:

“Just as a father loves his children, So the Lord LOVES those who FEAR and WORSHIP Him [with AWE-FILLED RESPECT and DEEPEST REVERENCE]. 14 For He knows our [MORTAL] FRAME; He remembers that we are [merely] dust” Psalms 103:13-14 Amplified.

Apostle Paul knows and understands on how to avail on the MERCIES of God in such a way, to give him the enabling to live the fulfilled he labored to attain in his ministry, in LIFE and GRACE, and in order not to faint, give up, go weary and be burnt out as it’s written:

“Therefore seeing we have this MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT” 2 Corinthians 4:1.

It’s my earnest PRAYERS today, that in MONTH JUNE, you envelope yourself in LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD, so that you will not FAINT, GIVE UP, BE BURNT OUT AND GO WEARY as you do life and godly living in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort” 2 Corinthians 1:3.

“I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, BY THE MERCIES of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” Romans 12:1.

“Therefore seeing we have THIS MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT’ 2 Corinthians 4:1.

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, BOWELS OF MERCIES, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering” Colossians 3:12.

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are SANCTIFIED by God the Father, and PRESERVED in Jesus Christ, and CALLED: 2 MERCY unto you, and peace, and love, BE MULTIPLIED” Jude 1:1-2.

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22.

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved . . .” Romans 9:1-33.

The CITY CHURCH and DESERT CHURCHES are not numbers, but people of God’s CREATION that WORTH every resources of the heavenly. Sometimes in the CAUSE of OBEDIENCE to the heavenly mandate, our absolute dedication and commitment to excellence in Kingdom services are tested to justify our ESSENCE – motives, in the services of God. And you ability to RESPOND and not REACT indicates the assurance and faithfulness TOWARD God’s mandate upon you, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

There are people today, who when they are relocated from their CITY CHURCH of glamour and multitudes, to a more less, the DESERT CHURCH of no glamour and multitudes, they will swiftly resign from the services of such creation. They may either kick start theirs as a way of rebel and not of necessity, and or react by complaining and murmuring throughout their time frame away from their CITY CHURCH glamour and multitude, while at the DESERT CHURCH – (Philippians 1:15-18). You see this also in MATTERS of life when there is shift in life position and placement, to a very different places outside our comfort zone. Some people  may live through such moment, by cursing and attributing it to witch-hunts; and doing some legislative session gang ups to win support and to authenticate their spirituality in ensuring they stay in a particular spot all through life without being innovative and creative, to help them initiate and explore beyond walls.

God is the only one who determines time and season with His own – Acts 17:24-31. And He’s not subject to any human factors of any sorts. In His intent to process and prune us, so that we become more effectual, productive and result oriented, CHANGE is a NECESSITY, so that we fulfill His PURPOSE and ESSENCE – 1 Corinthians 9:15-17; He may sometimes and most times, shift our place for His Kingdom advancement and to keep the ENEMY and COHORTS at bay – (John 15:1-16). If you don’t know and understand what it means to be obedient in the heavenly mandate, you will be fighting and wrestling with God and man, thinking someone else is undoubtedly undoing you in order to bring you down and rob you of who you’ve claimed you are called of God to be.

But if you want to eat the good of the Kingdom, you must humble yourself in OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE shift as Evangelist Philip did. He, in OBEDIENCE to God’s PURPOSE and CAUSES, RESPONDED instead of REACTING to the ministerial shift, from a glamour and  joyful SAMARIA CITY CHURCH to a lone one member Ethiopian man DESERT CHURCH. Only eternity can and would explain the implications of that mission to the DESERT CHURCH from the CITY CHURCH. Can you do that TODAY? Can you respond and say – YES LORD, to that next shift in your life and or Ministry? Can you afford to change job or allowed to be transferred to a less glamour place to work and do life? Have you ever question while God has PLACED you in certain places that naturally you would not wish or want to be? Have you come to terms with your life with God, that wherever He leads, you are willing to be OBEDIENT and say – YES LORD, and follow? These and such like you need to THINK wisely about, before you can WORTH saying yes to: “OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE” as Evangelist Philip of Acts 8.

God is raising an ARMY today that will take the GOSPEL beyond walls of denomination and land. He’s not just raising people only into the MINISTERIAL calls but into SECULAR and CIVIC duties. And it may not likely be in the place of your CHOICE sometimes. It’s essence is that through your profession you can MAKE the Gospel to the reach of all – from the CITY to the DESERT. You are that CHURCH, that God is raising. Not the denomination or cathedral architectural building. The DESERT CHURCH is that Local and Community assembly near you, that VILLAGE and DEPRAVED PLACE that your presence is a goldmine missionary to the people there. You don’t have to be Only in Ministerial outfits to OBEY the heavenly mandate. Your skill and talent availability is all God need to pour His ability through to make it become. It’s about becoming the MISSIONARY to meet the MISSION need in you can envision as Apostle Paul forsee – Acts 16:8-10

“And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas. 9 And a VISION appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, COME OVER into Macedonia, and HELP US. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us for to PREACH THE GOSPEL unto them”

I pray that you take time to examine your life very closely, in order to ensure you know and understand God’s intent for you in LIFE and GODLY LIVING; this important, gracious and graceful for your well-being, before you start legislating Spirituality in ignorance, through some unwarranted and uninformed PRAYERS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I WAS NOT DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY VISION: 20 but shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judæa, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance” Acts 26:19-20

“If they OBEY and SERVE him, they shall SPEND their DAYS in PROSPERITY, and their YEARS in PLEASURES. 12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge” Job 36:11-12.

“If ye be WILLING and OBEDIENT, ye shall EAT the GOOD of the land” Isaiah 1:19.

“You will SHOW me the PATH OF LIFE; In Your PRESENCE is FULLNESS of joy; In Your RIGHT HAND (RIGHTEOUSNESS) there are PLEASURES forevermore” Psalms 16:11 (Emphasis Mine).

“HUMBLE yourselves in the SIGHT of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:10.

“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and BE CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY: for God RESISTETH the proud, and GIVETH grace to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” 1 Peter 5:5-7.

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 (Emphasis Mine).

“He that REFUSETH instruction DESPISETH his own soul: but he that HEARETH reproof GETTETH understanding. 33 The FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:32-33 (Emphasis Mine).

“. . .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 . . . 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 . . .” Acts 8:1-40.

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust”  Psalms 72:9.

“But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. 16 For though I PREACH THE GOSPEL, I have nothing to glory of: for NECESSITY IS LAID UPON ME; YEA, WOE IS UNTO ME, IF I PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL! 17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the GOSPEL is COMMITTED unto me” 1 Corinthians 9:15-17.
