YOU CAN LIVE AND REIGN IN LIFE BY THE RISEN POWER: THE RISEN POWER ENABLES YOU TO CREATE YOUR DESIRED WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS – AMEN!

“. . . 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 TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

It’s time to create, initiate, explore and innovate a new you in Christ Jesus by the reason of the DONE WORK of our REDEMPTION in Him.

The PASSOVER – EASTER week and holiday comes and be gone, but the ESSENCE of PASSOVER lives on for all eternity. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in SUM was to end these three basics human failures in God at Adam of Eden – the consequence of SIN:

** Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

** Poverty (Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

** Sickness and Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

These aforementioned are the effects, results and consequences of human depraved state; and this is due to the fall in Eden resulting the placed Adamic curses. The SPIRITUAL DEATH gave birth to PHYSICAL DEATH and to the final blow – ETERNAL DEATH. Then the curse effect of spiritual death brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (PESTILENCE – DISEASE).

Now, today, we can THANK God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus, which enables us to commemorate and celebrate our Triumphant Victory in Him; and to do LIFE and LIVE GODLY continually WITHOUT shame, fear, inferiority complexes and intimidations. For there is therefore NOW, no more CONDEMNATION, instead, is the enabling grace of God, GIVEN to us in Christ Jesus, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal being in Him. This enabling grace helps us to CREATE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in everyway of DOING LIFE (Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 2:14).

THEREFORE, IT THUS MEAN –

** that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and we are NOW made alive in REDEMPTION to live and reign in Christ Jesus in the clause of – ABOVE ONLY – in all life circumstances – Ephesians 2; Colossians 2 & 3; Revelation 5:9-12; Colossians 1:12-14; 1 Peter 2:4-10.

** You can live ABOVE your mortal being weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – Romans 8:1-2, 9-11; 1 John 4:4-6; 1 John 5:3-5; Hebrews 11:1-3.

** There’s the ENABLING POWER that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life, and duly BELIEVE in the accomplished work of REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus for them – John 1:11-12; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15-20; Matthew 28:18-20; Luke 10:17-20.

** There’s the enabling and empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2; Psalms 37:25; Psalms 35:27; John 10:10.

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He rosed from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualize it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you.

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to QUICKEN, that is, ACTIVATE your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations (Romans 5:12-21). May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH. 3 John 2.

“. . . 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 TO) your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that DWELLETH in you” Romans 8:9-11 (Emphasis Mine).

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:11-12.

“. . . 17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE they which RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto JUSTIFICATION OF LIFE. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be MADE RIGHTEOUS. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. BUT WHERE SIN ABOUNDED, GRACE DID MUCH MORE ABOUND: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might GRACE REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:12-21.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

REDEMPTION: MADE POSSIBLE BY THE SACRIFICE OF OUR PASSOVER LAMB!

“Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our PASSOVER is SACRIFICED for us: 8 therefore LET US KEEP THE FEAST, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of MALICE and WICKEDNESS; but with the UNLEAVENED bread of SINCERITY and TRUTH” 1 Corinthians 5:6-8.

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven (7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle of the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the  use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people knows that what God has given them, which on their part would only requires ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without sweat.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them to see the need to maintain a hearts of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas has kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for same thing and stay in same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) key REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc ).

** STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOR (Dignity) – In place of dishonor, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who HAD BLESSED us with all SPIRITUAL blessings in HEAVENLY places in Christ” Ephesians 1:3.

“Thou hast ASCENDED on high, thou hast LED captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“Wherefore he saith, When he ASCENDED up on high, he LED captivity captive, and GAVE gifts unto men . . . 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers” Ephesians 4:7-11.

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS: THESE GIFTS ARE GIVEN TO EDIFY – BUILD-UP, MATURE, COMPLETE AND PROFIT – ALL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE CALLINGS AND SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY)!

“There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the MANIFESTATION of the Spirit is GIVEN TO EACH ONE FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL” 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 NKJV.

About a week ago, I went out to get a replacement pressing Iron for the house while on my way to doing the set day schedule and activities. My natural instinct was to go to the same shopping Centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me as always, the Holy Spirit sayings that I should check the MOBILE APP of another shop in another shopping Centre location which wasn’t an intended plan by me. So I did check the MOBILE APP as I was instructed, to see the kind of the pressing Iron I intend to buy as I have heard. And when I have done so, I went into the shopping mall that I have just parked, while the MOBILE APP was still active on my phone to see reasons and instructions. To my awesome surprise, as saying, lo and behold, the exact intending pressing Iron was there but there was a problem – 10% difference in the prices and the warranty terms of difference in comparison to the shop that I was instructed to check by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. As prudence is the scriptural essence, I left to the shopping mall of the MOBILE APP as I was informed and instructed of the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. I found PEACE at such obedience and SAVINGS in cost of buying and ASSURANCE of the needed warranty to my purchase. The essence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS in us is at WORK within me to lead and guide as in our REDEMPTION bill of rights and privileges in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. The essence is just about living life and OBEYING THE INSTRUCTIONS of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within you of Him as written in the Holy Writ of 1 John 2:20, 27.

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the ANOINTING which ye have RECEIVED of him ABIDETH in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the SAME ANOINTING TEACHETH you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

Why is the said storylines above of the pressing Iron? Does it matter? Won’t common sense should have told me obviously about that or what I should have done that check earlier and anyway before leaving home? Whatever you leaned toward, what’s important in the whole sum, is that, there’s an answer in ESSENCE to any of our situation and circumstances; it also thus indicate, that, no matter the circumstances and situations we found ourselves, knowingly and unknowingly, that, the ever PRESENCE of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS of the Holy Spirit within us does WORKS; and its PRESENCE in our Christian life, is to help build up, complete and mature our triune being in every way and everywhere, while we make daily decisions in our callings, skills/talents (ability), in fulfilling purpose, while doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

When you get BORN AGAIN (giving your whole being to believe in God through the redemption act of Christ Jesus as your Savior and Lord) and be BAPTISED with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in essence comes along with His CHARISMATIC GIFTS to dwell in you the believing one, to help build you up, complete you and mature your well-being in humanity, in respect of doing live and living godly through any and all of these but not limited:

 

(A). ***Your Spiritual CALLINGS (Ministerial/Others) – Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-30; Ephesians 4:11. Numbers 11:24-30; 1 John 2:20, 27.

 

(B). ***Your Human SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY) – Daniel 1:17; Ecclesiastes 9:11; 2 Chronicles 34:12; 2 Chronicles 2:7-8; Nehemiah 5:8; Proverbs 18:15-16; 1 John 2:20, 27.

Just for clarification, each and every one of the believing ones in Christ Jesus is given the charismatic gifts by THE MEASURE of God’s grace and not by A MEASURE, according to the given callings and skills/talent (ability) that we are respectively involved in our doing life and godliness. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; 1 John 2:20, 27. It thus means you have all it takes within you by the Holy Spirit to do life and live godly unlimitedly, except you chose to frustrate such endowed grace that’s given to you to be built up and mature in humanity as some who misuses their opportunities for righteous cause –  Galatians 2:21; Romans 1:18.

“I do not FRUSTRATE (SET ASIDE) the GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” Galatians 2:21 Emphasis Mine.

“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who SUPPRESS the TRUTH in unrighteousness” Romans 1:18 NKJV.

Now, know that when Christ Jesus led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His ascending to the heavenly, in the CAUSE of our REDEMPTION, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE these gifts to us (as explained in some of my past post). Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Revelation 12:9-12. One aspect of the GIFT is the gift of the comforter, teacher, helper and more – the blessed Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1 :11-14; John 14:15-17, 26; Luke 24:49; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-20; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; Romans 8:26-27. And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS. I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made physical – tangible, touchable and reachable. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or synergy within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm, booster, and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it, but however, everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For the term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD  makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus stead.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT-UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as it is written:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21 (Amplified).

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a result of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise, it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations. These spiritual fruits that formulate one’s character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are not limited as in these Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.

There are nine (9) major of these charismatic gifts that are given to us to be BUILT-UP and MATURED to HELP us to live in the realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in the cause of doing life and living godly. So the believing ones have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY – BUILD UP – and MATURE each order in Christ Jesus and not the other way round as we see some today:

ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, who are less or and in a vulnerable state by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while they are OTHERS who used theirs to create SCHISM – DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE and such like, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus – Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And for such that cause schisms, contentions, disorders and such like,  you need keep away and at bay, as Apostle Paul warns too – Romans 16:17-18; Timothy 1:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:17-19; 1 Corinthians 3:2-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

However, these NINE (9) CHARISMATIC GIFTS can be classified in the context of 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 in this principle:

  1. The REVELATION Gifts – The gifts that REVEALS things: THE WORD OF WISDOM; THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE; THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
  2. The POWER Gifts – The gifts that DOES things: THE GIFT OF FAITH; THE WORKING OF MIRACLES; THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS.
  3. The INSPIRATIONAL Gifts – The gifts that INSPIRE things: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; THE DIVERSE (DIFFERENT) KINDS OF TONGUES.

Each of the above gifts are given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit as one earnestly desire their PRESENCE in one’s work and walk with God in Christ Jesus stead. Whether is about your ministerial calling and or to others as business and entrepreneurship, family, marital and friendship relationship, career pursuit, leadership and governance at any level,    matters of creativity, innovation, exploring and such like, the CHARISMATIC GIFTS are here for your well-being to grow, thrive and to be fulfilled meaningfully. 1 Corinthians 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 39-40.

I pray that you find the reason not to depend on yourself, but on the Holy Spirit of promise, that He might give you the needed CHARISMATIC GIFTS, in order to fulfill PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast RECEIVED GIFTS FOR MEN; yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them” Psalms 68:18.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:7-10.

“As for these four children, God GAVE them knowledge and SKILL in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” Daniel 1:17.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE of faith” Romans 12:3.

“Now concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to each one FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL: 8 for to one is given THE WORD OF WISDOM through the Spirit, to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE through the same Spirit, 9 to another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS OF HEALINGS by the same Spirit, 10 to another THE WORKING OF MIRACLES, to another PROPHECY, to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, to another DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, to another the INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. 11 But one and the SAME SPIRIT WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, distributing to each one individually as He wills”

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

“In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Savior] would exist to the praise of His glory. 13 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 1:11-14 Amplified.

YOU CAN NOW LIVE BY THE RISEN POWER: GO CREATE, INNOVATIVE, INITIATE AND EXPLORE YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!

The PASSOVER – Easter weekend and holiday may seems over, but the ESSENCE lives on. The ESSENCE of REDEMPTION in sum was to end these three basics human failures in God.

** Spiritual Death (Results from Adamic treason – SIN).

** Poverty ( Impoverishment) – (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

** Sickness & Disease (The Effect Of Spiritual Death – SIN).

The aforementioned are the effects, results and consequences of human depraved state due to the fall in Eden in the placed Adamic curses. The spiritual death gave birth to physical death and final blow – eternal death. Then the curse effect which brought about POVERTY and SICKNESS (DISEASE).

Thank God for our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus which this PASSOVER enables us to commemorate and celebrate in grace and life. There’s NOW an enabling of God given to us in Christ, in order to be functional and triumphant in our mortal bodies. The enabling helps to CREATE, INNOVATIVE, INITIATE AND EXPLORE our REDEMPTION worlds over our human failures and limitations in Christ Jesus. It thus means that every Adamic mortal limitations can and had been quickened in REDEMPTION and now made alive in us to live Above ONLY in all life circumstances. It thus means you can live above your mortal bodies weakness and limitations in Sickness, Poverty and Spiritual Bondages of the fall by the quickening Spirit of God that indwell in us – Romans 8:9-11.

It thus means there’s the enable power that will accompany ALL who RECEIVE Christ Jesus into their personal life and BELIEVE in the REDEMPTION accomplished work of Christ Jesus for them – John 1:11-12.

Also, there’s the enabling empowering to CREATE wealth in order to end poverty as enshrined in our COVENANTED BILL OF RIGHTS IN REDEMPTION – Deuteronomy 8:18; 3 John 2.

Know that when Christ Jesus was betrayed and crucified, when He died and was buried, when He arisen from the dead (grave), ascended and was enthroned, the scriptures indicates and enjoined that we were in that process of REDEMPTION. And that IDENTIFICATION, if you can actualize it, then the SPIRIT of the ESSENCE will begin to show up in fullness for you.

Therefore, let that same Spirit that raised Christ Jesus from the dead, dwell in you, in order to activate your mortal being to life again, from every known and unknown Adamic limitations.

May the scriptures begin to be fulfilled in your life as written in Romans 8:11 in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Always know, understand and remember that – the Holy Spirit that dwells in your spirit is there with His inspiring, revealing and empowering WORDS that are LIFE GIVING; and He Lives in you to CREATE, INNOVATIVE, INITIATE AND EXPLORE YOUR WORLDS IN CHRIST as it’s written: “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the WORDS that I speak unto you, they ARE spirit, and they ARE life” John 6:63.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“Beloved, I wish ABOVE ALL things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul PROSPERETH.” 3 John 2.

“. . . 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 your MORTAL BODIES by his Spirit that dwelleth in you” Romans 8:9-11. 

“He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as RECEIVED him, to them GAVE he POWER to BECOME the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on his name” John 1:11-12.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that GIVETH thee POWER to GET (CREATE) WEALTH, that he may ESTABLISH his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).

MORE THAN CONQUERORS: APPROPRIATE AND ENACT TO RECEIVE YOUR RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES IN REDEMPTION!

One gracious and graceful thing God DID FOR US in REDEMPTION by Christ Jesus was to ensure and authentic that we are MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION; hence, Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE GIFTS to us, as our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES in HIM.

And Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE to us these REDEMPTION rights and privileges to enable us to stay afloat as MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

There are Seven(7) Spiritual blessings and Five (5) Ministerial gifts BLESSEDNESS, which are firstly in the heavenly places, and we are to appropriate and enact them on earth. Today, we can virtually see the five in manifestation and operation, but there’s a struggle between the seven, in the Believers day to day living. But Why?

When you watch some ACTS and LISTEN to the use of WORD in the cause of most PRAYERS, TEACHING and PREACHING, you wonder if indeed some people know that what God has given them, which on their part would only require ACCEPTANCE with THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, to help one APPROPRIATE and ENACT it into REALITY effortless and without a sweat.

In life, when you are given something, say a gift, you receive it with acceptance and with thanksgiving. You don’t go about ASKING again and again for what’s already GIVEN to you. Unfortunately, that’s what most Believers have made their acts in PRAYERS, and go further, even in their FASTING galore to measure spirituality – instead of RECEIVING and GIVING THANKS to God the Father in the name of Jesus, they go about ASKING and ASKING and ASKING . . . Instead of them seeing the need to maintain a heart of GRATITUDE as the main ATTITUDE, in which they will then enhance their ALTITUDE in life and godliness in Christ Jesus stead in God’s BLESSEDNESS.

Most times religious obligations, traditions, oblations and bye-laws dogmas have kept us in a particular routine with no substance that can do us any good in Christ. We FAST and PRAY for the same thing and stay in the same acts and process just because it seems good religiously and to our sentiments and sensual feelings, even when it’s obvious we are acting and praying AMISS and in ERRORS. That’s not the Gospel of God in our Redemption in Christ Jesus stead; and as such, we can’t APPROPRIATE and ENACT our rights and privileges WHOLLY and live MORE THAN CONQUERORS IN REDEMPTION.

Therefore, it’s your time to express with RECEIVING, THANKSGIVING for THANKS-LIVING, your rights and privileges in these seven (7) keys REDEMPTION DONE DEED for us in Christ Jesus stead. THESE ARE:

** POWER (Authority) – In place of fear, oppression, intimidation etc (Luke 10:19; 2 Timothy 1:7 etc).

** RICHES (Prosperity) – In place of poverty, hunger, famine, lack etc (3 John 2; 2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 1:3).

** WISDOM (Mental) – Sound mind & mental IQ in place of ignorance, foolishness etc (James 1:5; Luke 2:40, 52 etc).

** STRENGTH (Physique) – In place of weakness, sickness, and all ‘ness etc (Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:28-30 etc).

** HONOUR (Dignity) – In place of dishonour, shame, disdain, inferiority etc (Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21).

** GLORY (Beauty & Adoration) – In place of reproach, embarrassment, ashes, shame etc (Isaiah 63:3; 1 Peter 2:5, 9 etc).

** BLESSING (Empowering & Bestowed Grace) – In place of curses, setbacks, stagnation etc (Ephesians 1:3; Proverbs 10:22; 2 Peter 1:2-4 etc).

I pray that THESE that Christ has RECEIVED and GIVEN us in His REDEMPTION DEED will be APPROPRIATED and ENACTED in our life accordingly for an effortless mark without sweat in doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

The Father’s Heart – LOVE AT ITS BEST: When You Do BELIEVE And RECEIVE The SAVING GRACE of God In Christ Jesus!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever BELIEVES in Him should not PERISH but have EVERLASTING LIFE.  17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 “He who BELIEVES in Him is not CONDEMNED; but he who does not BELIEVE is CONDEMNED already, because he has not BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.

“But as many as RECEIVED Him, to them He GAVE the POWER (RIGHT) to BECOME children of God, to those who BELIEVE in His name:  13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God” John 1:12-13 (Emphasis Mine). 

“And this is the RECORD, that God hath given to us ETERNAL LIFE, and this LIFE is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life” 1 John 5:11-12.

“Therefore, if ANYONE is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have BECOME new” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV.

“BEING BORN AGAIN, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by THE WORD of God, which LIVETH and ABIDETH for ever” 1 Peter 1:23.

“. . . 3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, EXCEPT A MAN BE BORN AGAIN, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, HOW CAN A MAN BE BORN WHEN HE IS OLD? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be BORN of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is BORN of the flesh is flesh; and that which is BORN of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN” John 3:1-7.

“And there are three that bear WITNESS in earth, THE Spirit, and THE water, and THE blood: and these three agree in one” John 3:8.

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS

By Leave a Comment

THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS: GIVEN TO EDIFY –  BUILD UP,  MATURE AND PROFIT ALL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE – CALLINGS, SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY)!

About a week ago, I went out to get a replacement Iron for the house while on my way to doing the set day activities. My natural instinct was to go to the same shopping centre where we bought the last one, knowing it was good and had lasted in use for a while. And as I drove into the parking lot of the shopping mall, I heard a voice within me as always, the Holy Spirit sayings that I should check an APP of another shop in another shopping centre which wasn’t an intended plan by me. So I did check the app as instructed, to see the kind of the Iron I intended to buy as I have heard. And when I have done so, I went into the shopping mall that I have parked, while the app was still active on my phone to see reasons. Lo and behold, the exact intending Iron was there but there was a problem – 10% difference in the prices and warranty in comparison to the shop that I was instructed to check by the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. As prudence is the scriptural essence, I left to the shopping mall of the App as I was informed of the Holy Spirit while at the parking lot. I found PEACE at such obedience and SAVINGS in  cost of buying and ASSURANCE of the needed warranty to my purchase. THE CHARISMATIC GIFTS ESSENCE AT WORK. This is just about living life and obeying the instructions of the Holy Spirit as given through the CHARISMATIC GIFTS within of Him – 1 John 2:20, 27.

Why is this said storylines above? Does it matter? Won’t common sense would have told me that obviously or what to have been done earlier and anyway? The whole sum answer in essence, it’s to indicate that the ever presence of the CHARISMATIC GIFTS of the Holy Spirit within us does works and it’s presence in our Christian life is to help build up and mature our being in Christ Jesus, while we make daily decisions in our callings, skills/talents (ability), in doing LIFE and LIVING GODLY.

When you get born again (giving your whole being to believe in God through the redemption act of Christ Jesus as your Saviour and Lord) and be baptised with the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit in essence comes along with His CHARISMATIC GIFTS to dwell in you the believing one, to help and mature your well-being in humanity, in respect of doing live and living godly through any and all of these:

***A. Your Spiritual CALLINGS (Ministerial/Others) – Romans 8:28-30, 1 Corinthians 1:9; Romans 12:3-8; 1 Corinthians 12:27-30; Ephesians 4:11. Numbers 11:24-30; 1 John 2:20, 27.

***B. Your Human SKILLS/TALENTS (ABILITY) – Daniel 1:17; Ecclesiastes 9:11; 2 Chronicles 34:12; 2 Chronicles 2:7-8; Nehemiah 5:8; Proverbs 18:15-16; 1 John 2:20, 27.

Just for clarification, each and everyone of the believing ones in Christ Jesus is given the charismatic gifts by THE MEASURE of God’s grace and not by A MEASURE, according to the given callings and skills/talent (ability) that we are respectively involved in our doing life and godliness. Romans 12:3; Ephesians 4:7; 1 John 2:20, 27. It thus means you have all it takes within you by the Holy Spirit to do life and live godly unlimitedly, except you chose to frustrate such endowed grace that’s given to you to be built up and mature in humanity as some who misuses their opportunities for righteous cause. Galatians 2:21; Romans 1:18.

Now, know that when Christ Jesus led CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE in His ascending to the heavenly, in the CAUSE of our REDEMPTION, He RECEIVE gifts and GAVE these gifts to us (as explained in some of my past post). Psalms 68:18; Ephesians 4:8-10; Revelation 12:9-12. One aspect of the GIFT is the gift of the comforter, teacher, helper and more – the blessed Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1 :11-14; John 14:15-17, 26; Luke 24:49; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:1-20; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7; Romans 8:26-27. And the Holy Spirit comes with the CHARISMATIC GIFTS which could be called SPIRITUAL GIFTS. I used the CHARISMATIC GIFTS to differentiate because everything God gave us in Christ Jesus comes spiritual, which by our act of FAITH in obedience to such gifts, are then made  physical – tangible, touchable and reachable. Ephesians 1:3, 20; Ephesians 2:6; Proverbs 10:22.

CHARISMA could be defined as the ability or synergy within that gives one the enabling to attract, charm, booster and influence others towards a given driven CAUSE – Plan, Purpose and Pursuit. CHARISMA is often said to be a mysterious ineffable quality, you either have it or don’t have it, but however everyone needs it to do life in their CALLINGS and Talent to be fulfilled in God. For the term charisma (/kəˈrɪzmə/; pl. charismata, adj. charismatic) has two senses: COMPELLING ATTRACTIVENESS or charm that can inspire devotion in others; also, a DIVINELY CONFERRED power or talent to make you be what you wants to be in LIFE and GODLINESS. And all these by the Holy Spirit through the WORD makes one to be fulfilled meaningfully in Christ Jesus stead.

The Holy Spirit is the personality that ENABLE God’s GRACE to activate a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER. Therefore, to ensure a genuine CHARISMA and CHARACTER in life and godliness, you need to be BUILT UP by the Holy Spirit in the WORD of God as it’s written:

“But you, beloved, BUILD yourselves UP on [the foundation of] your most holy faith [continually progress, rise like an EDIFICE higher and higher], pray in the Holy Spirit, 21 and keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously and looking forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ [which will bring you] to eternal life” Jude 1:20-21 (Amplified).

And for the BELIEVER’S in Christ, our CHARISMATIC or CHARISMA life which is as a results of SPIRITUAL GIFTS  (endowment) cum TALENTS are sustained in grace by the SPIRITUAL FRUIT (Character) of the Holy Spirit. It must be noted that the sustainability of your CHARISMA or CHARISMATIC life, is by the CHARACTER you exhibit in and through it. Otherwise it becomes a CARICATURE in every respect of manifestation and operations. These spiritual fruit that formulate ones character to uphold integrity and etiquette of one’s charisma or charismatic gifts and acts are but not limited as in these Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-8; Philippians 4:8.

There are nine (9) major of these charismatic gifts that are given to us to be BUILT UP and MATURED to HELP us to live in the  realm of being ABOVE ONLY, meaning, from the ordinary common realm in cause of doing life and living godly. So the believing ones have no excuse of living a limited life by any measure or be subjected or controlled or dominated by any as a helpless one. Each is to use the charismatic gifts to PROFIT and EDIFY – BUILD UP – and MATURE each order in Christ Jesus and not the other way round as we see some today: ROBBING, CONTROLLING, SUBJECTING, DOMINEERING OTHERS, who are less or and in a vulnerable state by their CHARISMATIC GIFTS; while they are OTHERS who used theirs to create SCHISM – DIVISION, CONTENTION, ENVY, STRIFE and such like, in the local and collective BODY MINISTRY of Christ Jesus – Philippians 1:15-18; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 26, 33; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. And for such that cause schisms, contentions, disorders and such like,  you need keep away and at bay, as Apostle Paul warns too – Romans 16:17-18; Timothy 1:18-20; 1 Corinthians 11:17-19; 1 Corinthians 3:2-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-17.

However, these NINE (9) CHARISMATIC GIFTS can be classified in this context of 1 Corinthians 12:9-11 in this principle:

  1. The REVELATION Gifts – The gifts that reveals things: THE WORD OF WISDOM; THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE; THE DISCERNING OF SPIRITS.
  2. The POWER Gifts – The gifts that does things: THE GIFT OF FAITH; THE WORKING OF MIRACLES; THE GIFTS OF HEALINGS.
  3. The INSPIRATIONAL Gifts – The gifts that Inspire things: THE GIFT OF PROPHECY, THE INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES; THE DIVERSE (DIFFERENT) KINDS OF TONGUES.

Each of the above gifts are given to everyone severally by the Holy Spirit as one earnestly desire their PRESENCE in one’s work and walk with God in Christ Jesus stead. Whether is about your ministerial calling and or to others as business and entrepreneurship, family, marital and friendship relationship, career pursuit, leadership and governance at any level,   matters of creativity, innovation, exploring and such like, the CHARISMATIC GIFTS are here for your well-being to grow, thrive and to be fulfilled meaningfully. 1 Corinthians 12: 1; 1 Corinthians 14:12, 39-40.

I pray that you find the reason not to depend on yourself, but on the Holy Spirit of promise, that He might gives you the needed CHARISMATIC GIFTS, in order to fulfill PURPOSE, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING, in God’s BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But unto EVERY ONE OF US IS GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and GAVE GIFTS UNTO MEN. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:7-10.

“As for these four children, God GAVE them knowledge and SKILL in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams” Daniel 1:17.

“For I say, through THE GRACE GIVEN unto me, to EVERY MAN that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man THE MEASURE of faith” Romans 12:3.

“Now concerning SPIRITUAL GIFTS, brethren, I do not want you to be IGNORANT: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, but the same Spirit. 5 There are DIFFERENCES OF MINISTRIES, but the same Lord. 6 And there are DIVERSITIES OF ACTIVITIES, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is GIVEN to each one FOR THE PROFIT OF ALL: 8 for to one is given THE WORD OF WISDOM through the Spirit, to another THE WORD OF KNOWLEDGE through the same Spirit, 9 to another FAITH by the same Spirit, to another GIFTS OF HEALINGS by the same Spirit, 10 to another THE WORKING OF MIRACLES, to another PROPHECY, to another DISCERNING OF SPIRITS, to another DIFFERENT KINDS OF TONGUES, to another the INTERPRETATION OF TONGUES. 11 But one and the SAME SPIRIT WORKS ALL THESE THINGS, distributing to each one individually as He wills”

“But ye have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things . . . 27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him” 1 John 2:20, 27.

“In Him also we have received an inheritance [a destiny—we were claimed by God as His own], having been predestined (chosen, appointed beforehand) according to the purpose of Him who works everything in agreement with the counsel and design of His will, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ [who first put our confidence in Him as our Lord and Saviour] would exist to the praise of His glory. 13 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 1:11-14 Amplified.
