YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST
YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF GOD’S DEFINITION – IS THE ANSWER TO YOUR HUMAN QUEST: IT WILL VALIDATE YOUR LIFE “LINES” – AND MAKES YOU TO BECOME AND TO BE FULFILLED!
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35
Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH in any life subject CONTEXT of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE, STUPIDITY and FOOLISHNESS in circles and circus. For it’s a person without UNDERSTANDING in God’s CONTEXT that goes about wandering and transgressing to the TRUTH that only God owns and can provides to do life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead.
“The man that WANDERETH out of THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING (GODLY WISDOM) shall REMAIN in the CONGREGATION (ASSEMBLY) OF THE DEAD” Proverbs 21:16 (Emphasis Mine).
“GOOD UNDERSTANDING GIVETH FAVOUR: but the WAY OF TRANSGRESSORS is HARD (DIFFICULT, UNPRODUCTIVE)” Proverbs 13:15 (Emphasis Mine).
The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self-discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent has made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path of God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.
“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.
When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.
“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8.
Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).
Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.
Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.
It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.
I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.
Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.
I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION
THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!
“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.
What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.
For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. [2 Corinthians 5:27-21; Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV; Ephesians 1:1-12; Romans 8:28-40; 1 Corinthians 1:9; John 14:16-17; 1 Peter 2:9-10; Revelation 1:5-6; Revelation 5:9-12].
Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 6:14-16].
“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.
What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.
Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED
LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS!
“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified.
It’s awesome to know that you’ve been QUALIFIED to share in the saints INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it’s within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus, to now rise up in grace – declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED. That’s the reason to commend yourself to God and to the word of His grace, that builds up and gives access to the inheritance as set for all who are Sanctified in Christ Jesus stead – meaning set apart for God’s uniqueness in blessedness.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to THE WORD of His grace, which is able to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among ALL them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers as Apostle Paul did with the Ephesians Church. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ.
EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now.
“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we pray that you may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 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 us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14 (Amplified).

Nevertheless when the Son of man comethh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8.

THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE
THE EAGLE WAY – SOARING AS AN EAGLE: THE EAGLE CHARACTERISTICS!
“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, FLUTTERETH over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord ALONE did LEAD him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD with him.” Deuteronomy 32:11-12.
The EAGLE is a large bird of prey with a massive hooked bill and long broad wings for soaring [gliding], and known and noted for its keenness of great sights [sightedness – insights and foresights] – which indicates it as a bird of vision, and of size, strength and with a powerful soaring flight. Eagles are a symbol of beauty, bravery, courage, honour, pride, determination and grace.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord CALLED unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself.” Exodus:193-4
The WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR indicates the splendour, wonderful and elegant display with simplicity in the NURTURE and NATURE of the Eagle. This is what the scripture of Proverbs 30:18-19 described of this great, wonder and splendour of the magnificent bird – EAGLE.
“There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: THE WAY OF AN EAGLE IN THE AIR; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid’’ Proverbs 30:18-19.
The Eagle tends to RENEW – rejuvenate and revitalise – itself at old age to keep itself full of life and vision. The Eagles do not allow age to deter them, instead RENEW their days to keep themselves alive and in command as the king of the air.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name . . . 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
The EAGLES, are venerated as living symbols of power, freedom, and transcendence. What makes this bird so important and symbolic to humanity are its characteristics. And the likelihood characteristics of the Eagle are of the following but not limited:
** The Eagles are known of KEENNESS of sight – VISION
** The Eagles are known to be BRAVED (ferocious) – FEARLESS
** The Eagles are known to be of FIERCENESS (aggressive) – TENACIOUS
** The Eagles are known to RE-ENERGIES (metamorphosis) – VITALITY
** The Eagles are known as HIGH flyers – ALTITUDE
** The Eagles are known to NURTURE and NATURE their young – MENTORING
** The Eagles are known NOT to EAT dead meat – NON SCAVENGER
** The Eagles are known to FLOCK together – COMMUNITY
** The Eagles are known to ENSURE assurance – TRUSTING
** The Eagles are known for BEAUTY in grace – ELEGANT
** . . . and such like.

“As an EAGLE STIRRETH up her nest, fluttereth over her young, SPREADETH abroad her WINGS, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: 12 so the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. 13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; 14 butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape” Deuteronomy 32:11-14.
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3 who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; 4 who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is RENEWED like the EAGLE’S” Psalms 103:1-5.
“And Moses went up unto God, and the Lord called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I BARE you on EAGLES’ WINGS, and BROUGHT you unto myself. 5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a PECULIAR TREASURE unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: 6 and ye shall be unto me a kingdom of PRIESTS, and an HOLY nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel” Exodus 19:3-6.
“To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 5 ye also, as lively stones, are built up a SPIRITUAL house, an HOLY priesthood, to offer up SPIRITUAL sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 7 Unto you therefore which BELIEVE he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 8 and a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 9 But ye are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL priesthood, an HOLY nation, a PECULIAR people; that ye should SHEW forth the PRAISES of him who hath CALLED you out of DARKNESS into his MARVELLOUS light: 10 which in time past WERE not a PEOPLE, but are NOW the PEOPLE of God: which had not OBTAINED mercy, but now have OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:4-10.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS
BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
“There is therefore NOW NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the LAW of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has MADE me free from the LAW of sin and death” Romans 8:1-2.
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. And it’s upon this knowing and understanding, that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
Its true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of upthrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“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.
“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God. HAPPY is he that CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF in that thing which he ALLOWETH. 23 And he that DOUBTETH is DAMNED if he eat, because he eateth not of FAITH: for WHATSOEVER is not of FAITH is sin” Romans 14:21-23.
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place” 2 Corinthians 2:14.
“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 us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ PENALTY].” Colossians 1:12-14 Amplified.
“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.
“But ye ARE not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God DWELL in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.

“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS: 35 but in EVERY NATION he that FEARETH him, and WORKETH RIGHTEOUSNESS, is ACCEPTED with him” Acts 10:34-35
Until an individual begins to ACCEPT the TRUTH of what God has MADE, QUALIFIED and DEFINED them to be in life and grace in Him, such will keep LEARNING, WONDERING and WANDERING through IGNORANCE in circles and circus.
The fallacies of not accepting God’s definition has led many to an earnest and outrageous cravenness for self discovery through learning, wondering and wandering to SEARCH for ANSWERS and then FULFILLMENT. However, such intent have made some to become delusional and be driven away from the path of God made for them to BECOME both in LIFE and GODLINESS when they accept God’s truthful definition of them. Unfortunately to such derailing, the ignorance have shut them off God and from knowing there is already a GIVEN for them in REDEMPTION; and their fulfilment is enacted as one ACCEPTS God’s own definition of oneself, instead of going about fighting for human LEGISLATION, HYPE and APPLAUSE to have one to be defined, accredited and validated as the actual verdicts when it’s a vague satisfactory definition.
“He has MADE EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL and APPROPRIATE in its time. He has also planted ETERNITY [a sense of DIVINE PURPOSE] in the human heart [a mysterious longing which nothing under the sun can satisfy, except God]—yet man cannot find out (comprehend, grasp) what God has done (His overall plan) from the beginning to the end” Ecclesiastes 3:11. Amplified.
When you CAN’T ACCEPT what God has MADE and QUALIFIED you to be in LIFE and GODLINESS, – that is, to BE for example a – MAN or WOMAN, WIFE or HUSBAND, MALE or FEMALE, you will keep ever SEARCHING for an ANSWER where there’s none, in order to be fulfilled and fit into the bubbled statuesque for others to APPLAUD rather than what God has APPROVED of you.
“For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 EVER LEARNING, AND NEVER ABLE TO COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also RESIST THE TRUTH: MEN OF CORRUPT MINDS, REPROBATE CONCERNING THE FAITH” 2 Timothy 3:6-8.
Some people call it FREEDOM, HUMAN RIGHTS, GENDER RIGHTS and such like, but the Scriptures calls it FOOLISHNESS and PURE IGNORANCE, REPROBATES MINDSET that leads to boundless BONDAGES with a severe adverse consequences as detailed in Romans 1:18-32 (AKJV/LB/Amplified/Message).
Unfortunately for an individual and the societal, when the EFFECT and CONSEQUENCES starts, most forgets the PATH that brought them there, instead they CREATE and INVENT further bubble route in search of solution to the predicament that have resulted – which in time becomes a serial entanglement in a chain-like mode. That’s the reason there’s unstable state in human history and unfulfilled aspirations and the QUEST for so many misguided intents and some crazy pursuits to satisfy and fill up the void in humans as we see in – individuals, families, relationships, businesses, governments and non-governmental agencies, various world organisational bodies and many such like.
Have you ever given a thought to ask aloud or in silence, why there are so many human troubles around in spite of all these world renown Bodies (Association/organisation) and innumerable Charitable causes, Commissions and Foundations such as – UNITED NATION (UN), HRM, NATO, WHO, UNESCO, ECOWAS, EU, AU, TPU, TAU and many such like.
It’s for the lack of ACCEPTANCE to God’s gracious intent for man, that’s why somebody can oppress and enslave fellow human beings, call other fellow human beings terrible foul names, marry a pet, endeavour to change gender, marry same gender, create and invent some unimaginable ideas and things which on the long run begins to destroy the very purpose that was ignored and misguided in the name of FREEDOM, SUPERIORITY and LUST (spelt LOVE) and such like.
I make bold to say that – There’s FULFILMENT in God’s definition and intent – in being a Woman or Wife in God’s term. Same is applicable to the men folks – being a Man or Husband in God’s term. Meaning being made a MALE or FEMALE in God’s terms is the ultimate fulfilment in creation. And it’s God’s best and intent. For He MADE them SO, and BLESSED them SO. For in Christ Jesus there’s no right or wrong to make any less than what God has defined and made them BE – that’s to BECOME in Him. All we need as human’s, is to be PRINCIPLED, RESPONSIBLE and ACCOUNTABLE to the ACCEPTANCE of God’s DEFINITION in His BLESSEDNESS. Anything short leads to more crises to humanity.
Think of all the rebels or rebellion acts you might have put up or put on which is vividly contradictory to God’s WORD in order to get the APPLAUD and ATTENTION you crave; can you be emboldened to say you have now find FULFILMENT within or it has lead you fighting for all causes to satisfy that VOID and EMPTINESS that are within you.
I plead with you in Christ Jesus stead today, to ACCEPT what God in Christ Jesus had MADE you BECOME in Him, in order to find FULFILMENT in your VOID with Him, and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION
THE NEW WINE – MAKES A NEW CREATION: A NEW CREATION MAKES A NEW YOU – NO PAST – TRULY FREE INDEED!
“Therefore if the Son makes you FREE, you shall be FREE indeed” John 8:36.
What is it that set up your day, every morning? Is it the house you live; is it the car you drive; is it the size of your bank account; is it the empire business and enterprise you’ve established; is it the career you are into; is it the size of the Church and Ministries you go to or called to Pastor; is it the trophies or precious stones you’ve accumulated in life; and actually WHAT SETS YOU UP EACH DAY, MY FRIEND? These and many such like, it’s worth pondering in all matters of doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead.
For me, what sets me up and my day, is the knowing and being assured that I am a NEW CREATION in Christ Jesus. That I am KNOWN of God, QUALIFIED of God, PREDESTINATED by God, GLORIFIED by God, am CALLED of God, am JUSTIFIED by God, and that I am in FELLOWSHIP with God to enhance my RELATIONSHIP with Him through my SAVIOUR and LORD, Jesus Christ. That’s truly indescribable, overwhelming and incomprehensible. The knowing that God’s LOVES me and His presence LIVES in me and with me and for me, that makes it more PRICELESS. That and many such like too numerous to note within time and space, is what gives me HOPE, FAITH and the needed LOVE to win my day for me and all about me for others in doing life and living godly in grace, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
Simply put, the knowing that the NEW CREATION that I have BECOME of God, have NO PAST in Christ Jesus anymore; and my PAST no matter how terrible and unpleasant it was, it can’t hold back my today and future anymore, because of what Christ Jesus has done to wash them away into the sea of forgetfulness and cleansed me from every unrighteousness by His precious and redeeming blood.
“Who is a God like unto thee, that PARDONETH iniquity, and PASSETH by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he RETAINETH not his anger for ever, because he DELIGHTETH in mercy. 19 He will TURN again, he will have COMPASSION upon us; he will SUBDUE our iniquities; and thou wilt CAST ALL THEIR SINS INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA” Micah 7:18-19.
What a true freedom, to live assured from the eternal God, every morning and everyday. The knowing that His stedfast love are new every morning and everyday towards you and me is gracious indeed.
Do you PERCEIVE the same in your being today and now. I hope and PRAY same for you in Christ Jesus, that you might know what it means to be freely free indeed.

LET US PRAY
LET US PRAY: FOR YOU’VE BEEN QUALIFIED – TO SHARE IN THE SAINTS INHERITANCE IN CHRIST JESUS!
“GIVING THANKS to the Father, who has QUALIFIED US to SHARE in the INHERITANCE of THE SAINTS (God’s people) in the Light” Colossians 1:12 Amplified.
It’s awesome to know that you’ve been QUALIFIED to share in the saints INHERITANCE in Christ Jesus; and it’s within your redemptive rights and privilege in Christ Jesus, to now rise up in grace – declaring and affirming your FAITH on the DONE DEED.
Will you PRAY it into reality? Now do it in this apostolic line of prayers. Endeavour to personify it as you make bold to declare the SCRIPTURAL writ.
EVERY BLESSING: Let us pray now.
“For this reason, since the day we heard about it, we have not stopped PRAYING for you, asking [specifically] that you may be FILLED with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [with insight into His purposes], and in understanding [of spiritual things], 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord [displaying admirable character, moral courage, and personal integrity], to [fully] please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing in the knowledge of God [with deeper faith, clearer insight and fervent love for His precepts]; 11 [we pray that you may be] strengthened and invigorated with all power, according to His glorious might, to attain every kind of endurance and patience with joy; 12 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 us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the dominion of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the forgiveness of our sins [and the cancellation of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:9-14 (Amplified).

“And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men OUGHT ALWAYS TO PRAY, and NOT TO FAINT; 2 saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man: 3 and there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary. 4 And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man; 5 yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me. 6 And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith. 7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? 8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find FAITH on the earth?” Luke 18:1-8.

BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS
BEING MORE THAN CONQUERORS: SETS YOU ON THE – NO MORE CONDEMNATION PLATFORM!
In Christ Jesus, NO CONDEMNATION means – NO CONDEMNATION to the believing one in Him, knowingly and unknowingly. For GOD is bound by His WORD. And NO CONDEMNATION means freedom from SELF condemnation, demonic power and cohorts CONDEMNATION, religion, traditional dogmas, religious finger pointing CONDEMNATION and any of such like. It’s upon this knowing and understanding that Apostle Paul was very strong in His conviction and writings to the Romans Christians in questioning some elements of thoughts that held them in bondage instead of living free in Christ Jesus as it’s written:
“What shall we then say to these things? If God be FOR us, who can be AGAINST us? 32 He that SPARED NOT his own Son, but DELIVERED him up for us all, how shall he not with him also FREELY give us ALL things? 33 Who shall LAY ANY THING to the CHARGE of God’s ELECT? It is God that JUSTIFIETH. 34 Who is he that CONDEMNETH? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh INTERCESSION for us . . . 37 NAY, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us” Romans 8:31-34.
Being MORE THAN CONQUERORS in Christ Jesus, makes and sets the believing one in Him to a platform of living by the HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And that law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus, sets and makes one FREE indeed in God’s pendulum of life and grace against any form of CONDEMNATION.
It’s true that the law of gravity that operates on the pulling forces concept, that when things are thrown up they are bound to fall down gravitationally. But it’s also true that by the law of up thrust, aircrafts overcome gravitational pull and the ship floats and experiences buoyancy in waters. Hence it’s a high time to know that they is a higher law that overcomes the law of and to sin, and it’s called the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus. This is the law of the Spirit to make you live free, enjoy true freedom indeed, when you know you are in Christ Jesus. The HIGHER LAW – the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus – gives one freedom from the law of sin and death, which includes all forms of bondages, fears, condemnations and such like.
Therefore, being born of God in Christ Jesus, gives one access to God and qualifies one to access the rights and privileges of redemption, justifies one from all forms of CONDEMNATION, delivers one from the clutches of Satan and cohorts, transfers and translates one into the kingdom principles that governs the realms of God – Hallelujah! And thus, as in many SCRIPTURAL TRUTH for the New Creation in Christ Jesus, this is what being MORE THAN CONQUERORS entails in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. 22 Hast thou faith? have it to THYSELF before God.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is IN Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; OLD things have PASSED away; behold, ALL things have BECOME NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has RECONCILED us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, NOT IMPUTING their TRESPASSES to them, and has COMMITTED to us the WORD of reconciliation. 20 Now then, we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be RECONCILED to God. 21 For He MADE Him who knew NO sin to be sin FOR us, that we might BECOME the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 NKJV.
“Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye CONTINUE in my WORD, then are ye my DISCIPLES indeed; 32 and ye shall KNOW the truth, and the truth shall MAKE you FREE . . .36 If the Son therefore shall MAKE you FREE, ye shall be FREE indeed” John 8:31-32, 36.

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his. 10 And if Christ be IN you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead DWELL IN you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also QUICKEN (GIVE LIFE) your MORTAL BODIES (FIVE SENSES) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).
“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 and DELIVER them who through fear of death were all their lifetime SUBJECT to bondage” Hebrews 2:14-15.
“Who shall SEPARATE us from the LOVE of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS through him that LOVED us. 38 For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the LOVE of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 8:35-39.
