LIFE CHOICES – DEALING WITH THE TRINITY WITHIN – THE I, ME, MYSELF

By Leave a Comment

LIFE CHOICES – DEALING WITH THE TRINITY WITHIN – THE I, ME, MYSELF: THE THREE ENEMIES THAT HINDERS DESIRED ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Everyone craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thought. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

The THREE ENEMIES are the – I, ME, MYSELF – that’s within the humans, which is of the flesh [fleshy] and that needs to be urgently brought down and under subjection [control, discipline] if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS in Christ Jesus stead for His blessedness. And these three enemies within of the I, Me and Myself, are as a result and consequence of these factors:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three factors are ENEMIES of the faith and the makeup of the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF, which otherwise are aligned as the ME, ME and ME; and these enemies that have enveloped and engrossed humanity brings about the self-centeredness and self-gratifications attitudes and mannerisms in all respect that we experience day to day about us – directly or and indirectly.

However, life is about CHOICE and CHOICES for all, and it’s up to anyone to being mindfulness, and if otherwise, to not being mindfulness, in respect to the three enemies that are elements of self-destruction; suffice to know that one’s choice or choices can make and unmake the worlds of success, fulfilment and excellence, in doing LIFE and living in GODLINESS.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

There’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit, as the chief inward and outward trajectory examiner to indicate any of the signs and presence of the I, ME, MYSELF elements that can result to – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, by the illuminating light of the WORD of God.

“Your WORD is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path . . . 130 The ENTRANCE of Your WORDS gives LIGHT; it gives understanding to the simple” Psalms 119:105, 130/NKJV.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean, to subjugate the five SENSES [which is of what you – see, hear, taste, smell and touch/feel], and of the trinity you of the I, ME, and MYSELF – to the lead and influence of the Holy Spirit, to guide and guard you, under the authority and power of the WORD of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way for you to live in DOMINION, be A MORE THAN CONQUERORS, be an OVERCOMER, be TRIUMPHANT and VICTORIOUS, in doing life and living godly, in everyway in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE is an indicator of your CHARACTER. And your CHARACTER is an indicator of your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence, a no-GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and the SUSTAINABILITY of your person and personality, in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

Herein are some common sayings by others and the scriptural sayings too, that are worth pondering – [meditating and thinking] – about and through, in cause of your doing life and living godly,, in respect to time and in matters of your ATTITUDE [CHARACTER and INTEGRITY]:

“People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

“Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

 “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us on the WORD of God in redemption” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

“When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham

Therefore I say to you my friend, make a wise choice today, for – YOUR ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE – as you do life and live godly in a daily onward and upward trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have PREACHED to others, I MYSELF should be a CASTAWAY” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

FAITHFUL SAYINGS – FOR LIFE AND GODLY LIVING: UNDENIABLE VIRTUES – CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and APPOINT them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

Herein are some common sayings as well as some scriptural sayings, that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – about and through, in cause of doing life and godliness in times and in matters of CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

EXCELLENCE IS PURE

By Leave a Comment

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

“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.

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this: “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY DO AS LONG AS GOD STILL LOVES THEM’,  I begin to wonder what this life of grace has become to some, especially in the 21st century. Is it true that God STILL LOVES US IN FAITH NO MATTER WHAT WE DO? Who then will QUESTION the UNSAVED and what right do we have then to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the unsaved. Then the Scripture of Romans comes to mind, that we can’t continue in sin in the name of grace. And we can’t continue also in the fleshy [carnal] ways of doing life that’s contrary to the freedom we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus, as caution against in the Galatians scripture, otherwise we will be without guildrails to enable and ensure we stay secured in the grace from the enemy and cohorts intent on  our redemption.

“What shall we say [to all this]? Should we CONTINUE IN SIN and PRACTICE SIN as a habit so that [God’s gift of] GRACE may increase and overflow? 2 CERTAINLY NOT! How can we, the very ones who died to sin, CONTINUE to live in it any longer? 3 Or are you ignorant of the fact that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?” Romans 6:1-3/Amplified.

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ SET US FREE [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do NOT BE SUBJECT again to a YOKE OF SLAVERY [which you once removed] . . . 13 For you, my brothers, were CALLED TO FREEDOM; only do not let your freedom become an OPPORTUNITY for the SINFUL nature (worldliness, selfishness), but through love serve and seek the best for one another” Galatians 5:1, 13/Amplified.

Know full well that God LOVES us, but that does not mean He does COMMEND a life being lived outside His WORD. As I have always said time and again that our God will ONLY COMMEND what He had COMMAND and ORDERED. All things [good or bad] will work together for the good of those who not only love God BUT walk and do life according to the course of His Word in Purpose just as Jesus Christ did in humanity. [Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12;  John 18:37; 1 John 3:8].

Many times, God’s purposes of excellence to us, is so clear before us, but we need to walk and work in the course of that envisioned covenant of His grace; and if one begin to do any act of life outside His Word, we will surely loose out in our place of grace to excel. Apostle Paul says this in Galatians 2:21 “I do not FRUSTRATE the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”. Meaning I do not do things that will make the GRACE of  God INOPERATIVE and INEFFECTIVE in my life. Amen.

An example of FRUSTRATING GRACE to rob one of EXCELLENCE in Christ Jesus stead is as this:

What happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for an envisioned excellency to attain, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives in the SCRIPTURAL context as found in Genesis 49:1-4. You can’t eat your cake and have it. Grace for EXCELLENCE is not cheap or not to be taken for granted and done with despite as Hebrews 10:29 warns and enjoins:

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace?”

When you look through the heroes of Faith in Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will noticed after Patriarch Jacob, the next name that comes is Patriarch Joseph instead of Patriarch Reuben, though he was his father’s excellency of dignity and first born worthy of double honour as the Scripture does recommend – Genesis 49:3; Deuteronomy 21:15-17; Genesis 25:31-33. That’s why you must be on guard on your ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE to avoid derailing in the grace of actualising your place in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead, of our REDEMPTION in Him. Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Ephesians 1:7 (Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your PATH OF LIFE to the ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE. [1 Timothy 3:9; Philippians 4:8]. Therefore, answer yourself this question – Is it Scriptural true, that, it doesn’t matter what people do simply because God loves them? – [Romans 6:1-4; Galatians 5:1, 13].

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“And Jacob CALLED unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 3 Reuben, thou art MY FIRSTBORN, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 unstable as water, thou shalt not EXCEL; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then DEFILEDST thou it: he went up to my couch” (Genesis 49:1-4).

“. . . By FAITH Isaac BLESSED Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.  21 By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, BLESSED both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.  22 By FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. . .” (Hebrews 11:20-22).

“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.

“Unto the PURE all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled” Titus 1:15.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” 1 Timothy 1:5-7.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IT GUARANTEES AND ENSURES OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!

“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED.

Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birthright INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.

“And how I kept back nothing that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publicly, 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.

There are the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.

I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 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 6:10-12.

“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.

“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IS PURE AND IMPARTIAL AND ENRICHING TO ALL – AND IS COMMUNICATED BY FAITH!

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I UNDERSTAND now that God is not one to show PARTIALITY [to people as though Gentiles were EXCLUDED from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the PERSON who FEARS God and DOES what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified.

The BLESSEDNESS of God in you, in Christ Jesus, needs to be harness, stir up and fan into flame in order to become tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, when it’s communicated by faith in the Holy Spirit that’s given to us..

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“And hope MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And you have to realise and actualise in your total being, that, THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is PURE, ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL to all, including you, and is the GOOD and GOODNESS of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. It’s presence in you is a default to help you to be EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT – that is, to be results oriented and productive, in bringing into reality and tangibility the needed things you need to do in life and to live godly, in Christ Jesus stead.  It’s by your willingness to acknowledge that the good and goodness of God in you, makes all the difference in you and through you, in order for you to advance the kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay effortlessly.

And it’s very important and imperative for you to come for yourself realisation and actualisation, that in the redemption of God, wherein His BLESSEDNESS is lavishly given and entrusted in us and to us, to enjoy as our rights and privileges, is given and done without partiality, sentiments prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). For all of us have the same access by FAITH and stans by GRACE toward God in Christ Jesus, from every KINDRED and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION. And none of any, irrespective, is limited from the BLESSEDNESS of God by any means.

“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.

However, the FEAR of the unknown and through ignorance of not knowing what’s IN YOU to make a headway in God in Christ Jesus, makes people wants to hold other person or people as an entitlement and being responsible and accountable for their happiness, peace and fulfilment. I want you to know and understand that FEAR will intimidate, harasses, torment, embarrass, cowardice, frustrate, destroy, limit and do such like, to an individual in order for such individual to be rob of becoming what they ARE and OUGHT to be in God, in Christ Jesus stead.

The above paragraph on fear effects, it’s what happens to scriptural young Timothy that was called for a purpose as any and in spite of all PRAYERS and PROPHECY that was ENDOWED over him and given to him during his ordination, none could make him become as expected, because he allows FEAR, the ENEMY and COHORTS policing officer, to take hold of him. Fear took hold of him, and was there to rule and reign over him, hence he couldn’t become as supposedly with the THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD that’s in him. As such, he couldn’t function in LOVE, POWER and SOUND MIND of making rightful decisions, that would have taken and gotten him to the next stage of his life.

It took Apostle Paul presence, the need for a very good healthy mentor, in reminding him of his ENDOWED BLESSEDNESS and that the spirit of God given in him to harness, stir and fan into flame within him to MANIFEST into REALITY – all the good and goodness he earnestly desired, does not live and operates, within the sphere of fear. And that’s the reason he has to double up out of the spirit of fear sphere and all it represents, so that he can bring to reality the GOOD of God, done as a default in him in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the SPECIAL ENDOWMENT] which is IN YOU through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

And where THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD operates in perfect love, fear and it’s sphere will disappear into oblivion and the individual can take on any judgement that challenging the FAITH of access toward God and the GRACE upon which one stands in Christ Jesus, in harnessing THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within, in order to create and initiate the heavenly atmosphere in our earthly affairs, as the Apostle John epistle admonishes and our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, thought us on how to PRAY. 

“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.

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, so IN EARTH . . .” Luke 11:1-4.

It’s intriguing to note that 1 John 4:17 says, “. . . as He is, so ARE we in this world” while Luke 11:2 says, “. . . let your will be done as in heaven so ALSO in the earth”. This indicates how much we can by THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within us as a default, we can create and initiate the atmosphere we want to see and enjoy of God irrespective of anything. For by the communication of our FAITH, and acknowledging of the good and goodness of God within us in Christ Jesus, is the HOW to harness, stir up and fan into flame, in order to the EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT in our desired and needed results and productivity, in our path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Just know today that THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD is PURE and ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL; and it’s not corruptible, neither is there a place for sorrow and anguishing for any to ROB you off it, so that you don’t go about blaming others by any means, process and platforms, for the inoperative of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you. All simply because you have not made an intentional decision, and have not been able to harness, stir it up and fan into flame – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – within you, because of the fear and ignorance of your own, in not communicating by faith, through the acknowledging of the good and goodness of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY that you might abound in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:3-4.

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH” Galatians 3:13-14.

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

FAITHFUL SAYINGS – FOR LIFE AND GODLY LIVING

FAITHFUL SAYINGS – FOR LIFE AND GODLY LIVING: UNDENIABLE VIRTUES – CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and APPOINT them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

Herein are some common sayings as well as some scriptural sayings, that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – about and through, in cause of doing life and godliness in times and in matters of CHARACTER and INTEGRITY.

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED”

 – Arthur Friedman

** Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there.

** And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD. John 14:16-17; Romans 5:5.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost”

– Billy Graham

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for COMPETENT men—men who FEAR God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten” Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.

EXCELLENCE IS PURE

By Leave a Comment

EXCELLENCE IS PURE: ENVISION IT TO EXCEL!

“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.

Sometimes when I hear some so called Gospel Ministers and Christian faith believers say this : “IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THEY DO AS LONG AS GOD STILL LOVES THEM’,  I begin to wonder what this life of grace has become to some, in the 21st century. Is it true that God STILL LOVES US IN FAITH NO MATTER WHAT WE DO? Who then will QUESTION the UNSAVED and what right do we have then to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the unsaved.

Know full well that God LOVES us, but that does not mean He does COMMEND a life being lived outside His WORD. As I have always said time and again that our God will ONLY COMMEND what He COMMAND and ORDERED. All things excellent will work for the good of those who not only love God BUT walk and do according to the course of His Word – Purpose. Romans 8:28-30.

Many times, God’s purposes of excellence to us, is so clear before us, but we need to walk and work in the course of that envisioned covenant of His grace; and if one begin to do any act of life outside His Word, we will surely loose out in our place of grace to excel. Apostle Paul says this in Galatians 2:21 “I do not FRUSTRATE the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain”. Meaning I do not do things that will make the GRACE of  God INOPERATIVE and INEFFECTIVE in my life. Amen.

An example of FRUSTRATING GRACE to rob one of EXCELLENCE in Christ Jesus stead is as this:

What happened to Reuben the first born of Jacob. Though born for an envisioned excellency to attain, he lost his place of blessedness to excel to his younger brother Joseph, for sleeping with one of His father’s wives in the SCRIPTURAL context as found in Genesis 49:1-4. You can’t eat your cake and have it. Grace for EXCELLENCE is not cheap or not to be taken for granted and done with despite as Hebrews 10:29 warns and enjoins:

“Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done DESPITE unto the Spirit of grace?”

When you look through the heroes of Faith in Patriarchal order of HEBREWS CHAPTER ELEVEN, you will noticed after Patriarch Jacob, the next name that comes is Patriarch Joseph instead of Patriarch Reuben, though he was his father’s excellency of dignity and first born worthy of double honour as the Scripture does recommend – Genesis 49:3; Deuteronomy 21:15-17; Genesis 25:31-33. That’s why you must be on guard on your ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE to avoid derailing in the grace of actualising your place in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead, of our REDEMPTION in Him. Acts 20:32; Hebrews 6:10-12; Ephesians 1:7 (Colossians 1:13-14; 1 Corinthians 1:30).

EXCELLENCE IS PURE! So, if you crave to have God’s good and best, watch your PATH OF LIFE to the ENVISIONED EXCELLENCE. 1 Timothy 3:9; Philippians 4:8.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK: Is it Scriptural true that it doesn’t matter what people do simply because God loves them? – Romans 6:1-4

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Moreover THE WORD of the Lord came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, WHAT SEEST (ENVISION) THOU? And I said, I SEE (ENVISION) a rod of an almond tree. 12 Then said the Lord unto me, Thou hast well SEEN (ENVISION): for I will hasten MY WORD to PERFORM it” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (Emphasis Mine).

“And Jacob CALLED unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. 2 Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 3 Reuben, thou art MY FIRSTBORN, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: 4 unstable as water, thou shalt not EXCEL; because thou wentest up to thy father’s bed; then DEFILEDST thou it: he went up to my couch” (Genesis 49:1-4).

“. . . By FAITH Isaac BLESSED Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.  21 By FAITH Jacob, when he was a dying, BLESSED both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.  22 By FAITH Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. . .” (Hebrews 11:20-22).

“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.

“Unto the PURE all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled” Titus 1:15.

“I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with PURE CONSCIENCE, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day” 2 Timothy 1:3.

“Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a PURE heart, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of faith unfeigned: 6 from which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; 7 desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm” 1 Timothy 1:5-7.

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are TRUE, whatsoever things are HONEST, whatsoever things are JUST, whatsoever things are PURE, whatsoever things are LOVELY, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any VIRTUE, and if there be any PRAISE, THINK on these things” Philippians 4:8.

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED

THE HOLY SPIRIT ENHANCED – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: GUARANTEED AND ENSURES TO ALL – OUR REDEMPTION BIRTHRIGHT!

“Therefore, [inheriting] the PROMISE depends entirely on faith [that is, confident trust in the unseen God], in order that it may be GIVEN as an act of grace [His unmerited favor and mercy], so that the promise will be [legally] GUARANTEED to all the descendants [of Abraham]—not only for those [JEWISH believers] who keep the LAW, but also for those [GENTILE believers] who share the FAITH of Abraham, who is the [spiritual] father of us all— 17 (as it is written [in Scripture], “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the sight of Him in whom he believed, that is, God who gives life to the dead and calls into being that which does not exist” Romans 4:16-17 AMPLIFIED .

Everyone born into the Kingdom through REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, have access by FAITH and a stand in the GRACE, to the birth right INHERITANCE that is made available to all who are SANCTIFIED – set apart – for uniqueness in the Kingdom.

“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.

There’s the set rights and privileges embedded in our REDEMPTION for all born of God, irrespective – JEWS and GENTILES – Romans 4:16-17 Amplified. And it’s the BLESSEDNESS of God in Christ Jesus, that GUARANTEED and ENSURES it. And the BLESSEDNESS of God as the de facto, it’s without sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy) to all in Christ Jesus stead.

If you are born of God in Christ Jesus, know full well that – The BLESSEDNESS of God is in you knowingly or and unknowingly. And as you ARE justified of God in Christ Jesus, you can by FAITH and GRACE, access and take the needed stand to work out your salvation joyfully, in the midst of our challenging and difficult world. And to MANIFEST without questioning, there’s the needs to harness, stir up and fan into flame the BLESSEDNESS of God within you, in order to bring forth that which is tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, by the Holy Spirit that’s given to us.

“Therefore, since we have been JUSTIFIED [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have PEACE with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed). 2 Through Him we also have ACCESS by FAITH into this [remarkable state of] GRACE in which we [firmly and safely and securely] STAND. Let us rejoice in our hope and the confident assurance of [experiencing and enjoying] the glory of [our great] God [the MANIFESTATION of His excellence and power]. . . 5 Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s love has been abundantly poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5 Amplified.

I therefore commend you to God and His WORD by the Holy Spirit above all things else, so that you be able to actualise, enact and authenticate your being born of God redemption rights and privileges, in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD of His grace [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His grace is ABLE to BUILD you up and to GIVE you the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s purpose—all believers]” Acts 20:32 Amplified.

“Now it is God who ESTABLISHES and CONFIRMS us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has ANOINTED us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit]; 22 it is He who has also put His SEAL on us [that is, He has APPROPRIATED us and CERTIFIED us as His] and has GIVEN us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a PLEDGE [like a SECURITY DEPOSIT to GUARANTEE the FULFILLMENT of His PROMISE of eternal life]” 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 Amplified.

“For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. 11 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 6:10-12.

“Now He who has MADE us and PREPARED us for this very PURPOSE is God, who GAVE us the [Holy] Spirit as a pledge [a GUARANTEE, a down payment on the FULFILLMENT of His promise]” 2 Corinthians 5:5 Amplified.

“In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were STAMPED with the SEAL of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the GUARANTEE [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory” Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified.

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD: IS PURE AND IMPARTIAL AND ENRICHING TO ALL – AND IS COMMUNICATED BY FAITH!

“Opening his mouth, Peter said: “Most certainly I UNDERSTAND now that God is not one to show PARTIALITY [to people as though Gentiles were EXCLUDED from God’s BLESSING], 35 but in EVERY NATION the PERSON who FEARS God and DOES what is right [by seeking Him] is ACCEPTABLE and WELCOMED by Him” Acts 10:34-35 Amplified.

The BLESSEDNESS of God in you, in Christ Jesus, needs to be harness, stir up and fan into flame in order to become tangible, reachable and liveable and loveable in all possible path of doing life and living godly, when it’s communicated by faith in the Holy Spirit that’s given to us..

“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, 5 hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; 6 that the COMMUNICATION of thy FAITH may become EFFECTUAL by the ACKNOWLEDGING of every GOOD thing which is IN you IN Christ Jesus” Philemon 1:4-6.

“And hope MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; because the LOVE of God is SHED ABROAD in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5.

And you have to realise and actualise in your total being, that, THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD, is PURE, ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL to all, including you, and is the GOOD and GOODNESS of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. It’s presence in you is a default to help you to be EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT – that is, to be results oriented and productive, in bringing into reality and tangibility the needed things you need to do in life and to live godly, in Christ Jesus stead.  It’s by your willingness to acknowledge that the good and goodness of God in you, makes all the difference in you and through you, in order for you to advance the kingdom cause of our God and to keep the enemy and cohorts at bay effortlessly.

And it’s very important and imperative for you to come for yourself realisation and actualisation, that in the redemption of God, wherein His BLESSEDNESS is lavishly given and entrusted in us and to us, to enjoy as our rights and privileges, is given and done without partiality, sentiments prejudice and dissimulation (hypocrisy). For all of us have the same access by FAITH and stans by GRACE toward God in Christ Jesus, from every KINDRED and TONGUE and PEOPLE and NATION. And none of any, irrespective, is limited from the BLESSEDNESS of God by any means.

“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.

However, the FEAR of the unknown and through ignorance of not knowing what’s IN YOU to make a headway in God in Christ Jesus, makes people wants to hold other person or people as an entitlement and being responsible and accountable for their happiness, peace and fulfilment. I want you to know and understand that FEAR will intimidate, harasses, torment, embarrass, cowardice, frustrate, destroy, limit and do such like, to an individual in order for such individual to be rob of becoming what they ARE and OUGHT to be in God, in Christ Jesus stead.

The above paragraph on fear effects, it’s what happens to scriptural young Timothy that was called for a purpose as any and in spite of all PRAYERS and PROPHECY that was ENDOWED over him and given to him during his ordination, none could make him become as expected, because he allows FEAR, the ENEMY and COHORTS policing officer, to take hold of him. Fear took hold of him, and was there to rule and reign over him, hence he couldn’t become as supposedly with the THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD that’s in him. As such, he couldn’t function in LOVE, POWER and SOUND MIND of making rightful decisions, that would have taken and gotten him to the next stage of his life.

It took Apostle Paul presence, the need for a very good healthy mentor, in reminding him of his ENDOWED BLESSEDNESS and that the spirit of God given in him to harness, stir and fan into flame within him to MANIFEST into REALITY – all the good and goodness he earnestly desired, does not live and operates, within the sphere of fear. And that’s the reason he has to double up out of the spirit of fear sphere and all it represents, so that he can bring to reality the GOOD of God, done as a default in him in Christ Jesus. Amen.

“That is why I remind you to fan into flame the GRACIOUS GIFT of God, [that inner fire—the SPECIAL ENDOWMENT] which is IN YOU through the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. 7 For God did not GIVE us a spirit of TIMIDITY or COWARDICE or FEAR, but [He has GIVEN us a spirit] of POWER and of LOVE and of SOUND JUDGMENT and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control]” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

And where THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD operates in perfect love, fear and it’s sphere will disappear into oblivion and the individual can take on any judgement that challenging the FAITH of access toward God and the GRACE upon which one stands in Christ Jesus, in harnessing THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within, in order to create and initiate the heavenly atmosphere in our earthly affairs, as the Apostle John epistle admonishes and our Saviour Lord Jesus Christ, thought us on how to PRAY. 

“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.

“And it came to pass, that, AS HE WAS PRAYING in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, LORD, TEACH US TO PRAY, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye PRAY, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy WILL be DONE, AS IN HEAVEN, so IN EARTH . . “ Luke 11:1-4.

It’s intriguing to note that 1 John 4:17 says, “. . . as He is, so ARE we in this world” while Luke 11:2  says, “. . . let your will be done as in heaven so ALSO in the earth”. This indicates how much we can by THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD within us as a default, we can create and initiate the atmosphere we want to see and enjoy of God irrespective of anything. For by the communication of our FAITH, and acknowledging of the good and goodness of God within us in Christ Jesus, is the HOW to harness, stir up and fan into flame, in order to the EFFECTUAL and EFFICIENT in our desired and needed results and productivity, in our path of doing life and living godly, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Just know today that THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD is PURE and ENRICHING and IMPARTIAL; and it’s not corruptible, neither is there a place for sorrow and anguishing for any to ROB you off it, so that you don’t go about blaming others by any means, process and platforms, for the inoperative of THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in you. All simply because you have not made an intentional decision, and have not been able to harness, stir it up and fan into flame – THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD – within you, because of the fear and ignorance of your own, in not communicating by faith, through the acknowledging of the good and goodness of God IN you IN Christ Jesus. Amen.

I PRAY that you might abound in THE BLESSEDNESS OF GOD in Christ Jesus in an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“THE BLESSING OF THE LORD, it maketh RICH, and He ADDETH NO SORROW with it” Proverbs 10:22.

“BLESSED be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ: 4 according as he hath CHOSEN us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love” Ephesians 1:3-4.

“Christ hath REDEEMED us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through FAITH” Galatians 3:13-14.

“. . . 6 Even as David also describeth the BLESSEDNESS of the man, unto whom God IMPUTETH righteousness without works, 7 saying, BLESSED are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 BLESSED is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. 9 Cometh this BLESSEDNESS then upon the CIRCUMCISION only, or upon the UNCIRCUMCISION also? for we say that FAITH was RECKONED to Abraham for RIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in CIRCUMCISION, or in UNCIRCUMCISION? Not in CIRCUMCISION, but in UNCIRCUMCISION. 11 And he received the SIGN OF CIRCUMCISION, A SEAL OF THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of the FAITH which he had yet being UNCIRCUMCISED: that he might be the FATHER OF ALL THEM THAT BELIEVE, though they be NOT CIRCUMCISED; that RIGHTEOUSNESS might be IMPUTED unto them also: 12 and the father of CIRCUMCISION to them who ARE NOT of the CIRCUMCISION only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet UNCIRCUMCISED . . .” Romans 4:1-25.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every KINDRED, and TONGUE, and PEOPLE, and NATION; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and WE shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10.

“Christ hath REDEEMED US from the curse of the law, being MADE a curse FOR US: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 that THE BLESSING of Abraham might come on the GENTILES through Jesus Christ; that WE might RECEIVE the PROMISE of the Spirit through faith . . . 26 For YE ARE ALL the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is NEITHER Jew nor Greek, there is NEITHER bond nor free, there is NEITHER male nor female: for YE ARE ALL ONE in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and HEIRS according to the promise” Galatians 3:13-14, 26-29.

LIFE CHOICES – Dealing With The TRINITY Within – The I, ME, MYSELF: The Three ENEMIES That HINDERS Desired ALTITUDE!

“I therefore so RUN, NOT AS UNCERTAINLY; so FIGHT I, NOT AS ONE THAT BEATETH THE AIR: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, ME, MYSELF), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27 Emphasis Mine.

Every one craves for a high and higher rise in life. There’s the more earnest desire for an onward and upward trajectory irrespective of any, and it’s deepened in every human subconscious thoughts. And higher heights are born in our ATTITUDE for such ALTITUDE we earnestly desired and yearns daily to attain. Unfortunately for some, the enemies within them have created their stunted growth and success and excellence and such like.

The THREE ENEMIES within that needs to be brought under if one must constantly be ahead in LIFE and GODLINESS are these:

 ** The lust of the flesh

 ** The lust of the eyes

 ** The pride of life

These three ENEMIES comes from the trinity within us – I, ME and MYSELF otherwise the Me, Me and Me attitude.

Life is about CHOICE and CHOICES – and to being mindful and to not being mindful, of these three elements, which can make and unmake your worlds of success and fulfillment and excellence, in LIFE and GODLINESS, is worth pondering about. Hence there’s the need to diligently check and guard your being by the Holy Spirit of any of the signs and presence of these elements in the light of the WORD of God.

You are the DECIDED of your ARISING and ALTITUDE, therefore make the wise CHOICE today – to bring your body under; I mean the five SENSES trinity of I, ME, MYSELF, in subjection to the Holy Spirit guide and guard, under the authority and power of the word of God. That’s the only Kingdom cause way to have Dominion, be more than conquerors, an overcomer, be triumphant and victorious in doing life and living godly in every way in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

Know full well that your ATTITUDE indicates your CHARACTER. Your CHARACTER indicates your PERSON. And your PERSON, which is born of your ATTITUDE does not only defines you, but it’s what will SUSTAIN you in your desired ALTITUDE when you arrived at it. Hence a no GOOD ATTITUDE means an ILLUSION to your DESIRED ALTITUDE and SUSTAINABILITY in the POSITION of ALTITUDE.

Herein are common and scriptural sayings that are worth pondering – meditating and thinking – through, in cause of doing life in time and in matters of ATTITUDE (CHARACTER and INTEGRITY):

** “People of genius are admired.

People of wealth are envied.

People of power are feared.

But only people of CHARACTER are TRUSTED” – Arthur Friedman

** “Be it known that the good of riches, friends, certificates, politics, charisma, enterprise and such like the more, may take you to the top, but only INTEGRITY will keep and sustain you there” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “And CHARACTER and INTEGRITY are made possible by the indwelling precious, gracious and graceful Holy Spirit, which is given to us in the WORD” – Chukie MORSI Snr.

** “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when CHARACTER is lost, ALL is lost” – Billy Graham.

MAKE A WISE CHOICE TODAY – YOU ALTITUDE IS WITHIN YOUR REACH BY YOUR ATTITUDE.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“And then you need to keep a sharp eye out for competent men—men who fear God, men of INTEGRITY, men who are INCORRUPTIBLE—and appoint them as LEADERS over groups organized by the thousand, by the hundred, by fifty, and by ten”  Exodus 18:21.

“Finally, brethren, whatever things are TRUE, whatever things are NOBLE, whatever things are JUST, whatever things are PURE, whatever things are LOVELY, whatever things are of GOOD REPORT, if there is any VIRTUE and if there is anything PRAISEWORTHY—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8.

“I BESEECH (BEG) you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your BODIES (FIVE SENSES) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your REASONABLE service. 2 And be not CONFORMED to this world: but be ye TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that GOOD, and ACCEPTABLE, and PERFECT, will of God” Romans 12:1-2.

“For though we WALK in the flesh, we do not WAR after the flesh: 4 (for the WEAPONS of our WARFARE are not CARNAL, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 CASTING down IMAGINATIONS, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the OBEDIENCE of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to REVENGE all DISOBEDIENCE, when your OBEDIENCE is FULFILLED” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6.

“Love not the world [the worlds mindset], neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the LUST of the FLESH, and the LUST of the EYES, and the PRIDE of LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the world” 1 John 2:15-17.

“I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep UNDER MY BODY (I, Me, Myself), and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:26-27.

“Therefore I endure all things for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. 11 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING: For if we died with Him, We shall also live with Him. 12 If we endure, We shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us” 2 Timothy 2:10-12.

“But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and EXERCISE yourself toward godliness. 8 For BODILY exercise profits a little, but GODLINESS is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. 9 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING and worthy of all acceptance. 10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe” 1 Timothy 4:7-10.

“That having been JUSTIFIED by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 8 This is a FAITHFUL SAYING, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to MAINTAIN good works. These things are GOOD and PROFITABLE to men” Titus 3:7-8.

“But the FRUIT (CHARACTER) of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” Galatians 5:22-25.
