RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT
RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF FROM SIN [SINNING] ACT – IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT UNGODLINESS WITH GOD!
“Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SIN NOT; for some have NOT the KNOWLEDGE of God: I speak this to your shame” 1 Corinthians 15:33-34.
“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to ANY people.” Proverbs 14:34.
“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.
Some people think that SIN is just a MISTAKE or an ERROR in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; and its presence in one’s life can hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT that enables one to SOAR and GLIDE IN POSSIBILITIES.
KNOW THAT SIN IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT AN ACT OF UNGODLINESS WITH GOD; AND IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD THAT EXALTS.
WHAT THEN IS SIN – IT IS SUM IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES AS:
** The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God and it’s naturally bore to all mankind as a result of the fall in ADAM and EVE of Genesis.
** An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed WILL of God to mankind.
** A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life to live wholly within.
THE EFFECT OF SIN ARE:
*** POVERTY
*** SICKNESS and DISEASE
*** SPIRITUAL DEATH:
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – who is God’s REDEMPTION answer to human failing.
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally, results to ETERNAL DEATH when one ends up eventually not Born of God in Christ Jesus.
However, by REDEMPTION – FAITH on the finished done work of Christ – has JUSTIFIED us and given us ACCESS to a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Wherein one can have ACCESS and live JUSTIFIED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and its EFFECT shall have NO MORE DOMINION over you as you SOAR & GLIDE in POSSIBILITIES – that is, over SIN.
“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.
“. . . 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE Him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:15-21.
It’s while living under God’s RIGHTEOUS and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, that will enable you have dominion and leverage over SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The knowing and understanding that God LOVES and CARES about you makes a great difference. And when you live under God’s REVERENTIAL FEAR you will detest SIN and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS. For the REVERENTIAL FEAR of God is the beginning of wisdom – the application of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.
“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.) . . . 21 that as SIN hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.
“For we KNOW him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:31-32.
If you must glory, only GLORY in Christ Jesus RIGHTEOUSNESS in you – that’s the CONSCIOUSNESS to live the POSSIBILITIES enabling of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THIS CHRISTMAS: CHRIST JESUS IS COME!
THIS CHRISTMAS: CHRIST JESUS IS COME!
“For the Son of man IS COME to SEEK and to SAVE THAT which was LOST.” (Luke 19:10).
The great, gracious, graceful and awesome thing about Christmas, is that, it’s God’s intent. It’s of His purpose and it is for our good that Christ Jesus (the saviour, messiah and anointed one) came; and whose birth we do commemorate and celebrate this season in this Christmas.
“Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: 4 but when the FULNESS OF THE TIME was come, God SENT FORTH His Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 to REDEEM them that were under the law, that we might RECEIVE THE ADOPTION of sons” Galatians 4:3-5.
THIS CHRISTMAS, CHRIST JESUS IS COME:
* To SEEK for ‘THAT’ which humanity lost in creation and
* To SAVE ‘THAT’ which was lost accordingly.
“Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a KING. TO THIS END WAS A BORN, and for THIS CAUSE CAME I INTO THE WORLD, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice” John 18:37.
Humanity lost God’s FELLOWSHIP and RELATIONSHIP by their ways of doing life. Christ is come to seek humanity from their self-bondage back to ‘THAT’ lost fellowship and relationship. He seeks for you today, to take the yoke and burden of life off you. That’s a will of your choice you have to accept and make.
“God is FAITHFUL, by whom ye were CALLED unto the FELLOWSHIP of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:9.
“But SEEK YE FIRST the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” Matthew 6:33.
Humanity lost their worth as a result of sin. For sin is the reason for poverty, sickness and spiritual death which can result finally – physical death, plus every thing that makes life unbearable.
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this PURPOSE the Son of God was MANIFESTED, that he might DESTROY the WORKS of the devil.” (1 John 3:8).
Until man sin none of those mentioned above items was there, but Christ is come to SAVE one and all from the THAT, which has people bondage and had kept them in captivity of Satan and cohort’s.
This Christmas, Christ is come for you, so take advantage of the season to make right with God in Christ Jesus for your complete salvation: *Peace, *wholeness, *safety, *security, *healing, *health, *prosperity, *success, *dignity, *honour, wisdom, *blessings and *more.
I pray you make a wise decision like the wise men from the east as in the scriptures, who go visiting Christ Jesus at birth when they heard of the saviour who came to seek and save them.
THIS CHRISTMAS . . . THE PROFOUND TRUTH IS THIS . . . THE SAVIOUR AND LORD, CHRIST JESUS CAME TO SAVE YOU AND I – GLORY!
HALLELUJAH!! AMEN!!!
Make it your REALITY and TANGIBILITY in life and grace in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU
THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!
“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.
We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.
“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and its EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every place in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“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.
“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.
“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.
For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.
Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS
BE ESTABLISHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS: THE RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!
“But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: A SCEPTRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 9 Thou hast LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HATED INIQUITY; therefore God, even thy God, hath ANOINTED thee with the OIL of gladness ABOVE THY FELLOWS” Hebrews 1:8-9.
Living by the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Christ Jesus, delivers from Religious Dogmas, Bondages, Make-Believe and Man-Made Traditions and such like doctrinal bondages. (Romans 10:4-10; 1 Corinthians 1:30).
Sin does not only make one cheap, ugly, dirty, filthy and priceless or worthless before God, it reproaches, steals, kills and destroys an individual, family, generation, community and nations. That’s why Satan is likened to it.
But RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of God in Christ Jesus, makes one to stand before God without shame, fear, guilt and inferior of any form of complexity. It establishes and fortifies individual, family, generation, community and nation. It’s a defence and delivers in the days of life and godly troubles and challenges of any sorts.
Therefore, RECONNECT yourself, family, generation, community and nation back to the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of God in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Be BLESSED in EVERYWAY in CHRIST JESUS. AMEN.

“. . . 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their own RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that believeth . . . 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto RIGHTEOUSNESS; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation” Romans 10:1-10.

BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE
BE EMBOLDENED – TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR FAITH IN THE GRACE: FOR YOU’VE BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS!
“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]” Romans 5:1-2/AMP.
Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge and behold you to always stand EMBOLDENED in the grace; and to TAKE and MAKE – YOUR STAND KNOWN OF YOUR BELIEVE IN THE FAITH – in the REDEMPTION that our God have given us in Christ Jesus stead. There’s so much out there of fear phobia, inferiority complex, intimidation, self or cohorts accusation of your past, that’s hunting and hurting your present; or and self defeat of the assumptions about you and such like; and as to the reality and tangibility of who you are and worth now in Christ Jesus; or probably because of your past or current challenges and circumstances. Am here to inform you for your justification that results your transformation in grace, and of the need to raise your heads up, shoulders high and put on your emboldened redemption in the faith with high heels of confidence of your JUSTIFIED state in Christ Jesus; this is to ensure and assure you God’s enabling, in order for you to be in charge and control and the custodian of your own God’s good and goodness in Redemption. Amen.
“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 1:7/AMP.
“Herein is our love made PERFECT [COMPLETE], that we may have BOLDNESS [CONFIDENCE] in the day of JUDGMENT [JUSTICE, CHALLENGES]: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. 18 There is no FEAR in love; but PERFECT [COMPLETE] love casteth out FEAR: because FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not MADE PERFECT [COMPLETE ] in love” 1 John 4:17-18/Emphasis Mine.
“And this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him” 1 John 5:14-15.
A questioning came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ takes a STAND UP to speak GRACIOUS WORDS that was contrary in His days and in the ways of speaking emboldened of God’s personalised and personified purpose in one’s life [John 18:37; 1 John 3:8; Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:11-12]. And we can see same too and differently in our day to day from many in denominationised and sectarianism settings as in some religious sayings as – “return to sender”, “fire and thunder”, “holy ghost fire” and such like which indicates pure ignorance and condescending out of the redemption Scriptural TRUTH God had offered us in Christ Jesus stead, to sing and speak forth in the new songs of testifying to our faith only of Christ Jesus and not to religious bigotry [Revelation 5:9-10; Revelation 19:10; Philemon 1:6; Hebrews 10:23, 35-39]. We must take a robustness in our STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, instead of the onward and upward trajectory of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament.
“Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for RIGHTEOUSNESS [RIGHT STANDING, BLAMELESS]. 7 Know ye therefore that they which ARE of FAITH, the same ARE the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through FAITH, PREACHED before the GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall ALL nations be BLESSED. 9 So then they which BE of faith ARE blessed with FAITHFUL Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9.
“And ALL bare Him [Jesus] WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22.
It’s time to be emboldened of your FAITH STAND in Christ, and save yourself from every form of QUESTIONING on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and it’s EFFECT in terms to these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP on your FAITH in GRACE against the ENEMY and COHORTS in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen.
Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ did when He stood in the Temple to declare of His personified purpose with God [Luke 4:1-22] and in many other instances of confrontations by the religious and political elites of His days in humanity. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN [Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13]. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS in their various acts of manifesting and revealing [as wolves in sheep clothing’s, and or like a roaring lion and or as an angel of light] to challenge your faith stand in Christ Jesus by saying – IT’S WRITTEN too as Jesus Christ did. Amen. [1 Peter 5:8-12; Mathew 7:15; 2 Corinthians 11:14].
Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace that no wealth and riches of any can buy [Psalms 49:6-10].
Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus by Father God is a DID, a DONE and a DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your REDEMPTION stand in grace, wherein you are BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS stead. Amen.
DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE AND FAITH – NO MATTER WHAT MAY. For in Christ Jesus you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you – ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – as BEING JUSTIFIED BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. Amen.
Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“But that no man is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith . . . 23 But before FAITH came, we were kept UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the FAITH which should afterwards be REVEALED. 24 Wherefore the LAW was our SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH” Galatians 3:11, 23-24.
“Knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law, but by the FAITH of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY THE FAITH of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified” Galatians 2:16.

STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT
STOP THAT SIN AND SINFUL ACT – STOP SINNING TO MAKE A LIVING: GOD IS WEARY OF YOUR REPENTANCE – STOP IT NOW AND LIVE!
“For who shall have PITY upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall BEMOAN thee? or who shall go ASIDE to ask how thou doest? 6 Thou hast FORSAKEN me, saith the Lord, thou art gone BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand AGAINST thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY WITH REPENTING” Jeremiah 15:5-6.
I don’t know if it’s you this is meant for today – but I could hear a strong voice of God saying – shout it loud for someone there to hear, know and be aware that He’s bored of your continuous habit of SINNING and REPENTING – in order to make a living; much more, to keep or sustain that success and excellence in an ILLUSION.
It may looks odds in HUMAN PERSPECTIVE to hear God say or ask you to STOP the act of SINFUL deed and kind, but I do know that God wants WHOSOEVER to have a SORROW FREE LIFE in THEIR BLESSINGS, and in ALL THEY DO IN LIFE as His children; even as it’s written:
“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” Ephesians 1:3.
I know and understand one thing about God – He gives the enabling gracious power for His own to GET, ACQUIRE and CREATE the desired purposeful goal, the position and place of dignity – meaning, the ENDURING blessings without sorrow and regrets. Hence you need to stop, for God can’t be fool as to mere men; He may ESCHEW you soonest, He ABHORS your doing and He’s WEARY of always giving you another chance and opportunity to make it right again.
“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).
Will you now STOP. Has God warned you before? Isn’t it? I mean directly or and through someone else or and in your subconscious thoughts? And You PROMISED NEVER AGAIN. Watch out I say, and PLEASE STOP for your good and others about you. Don’t call it or see it as a MISTAKE or ACCIDENTAL – I say ABSTAIN and FLEW from every of the APPEARANCE of the KNOWN SINFUL HABITS.
IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT, ACHIEVE IT AND OR TO GET THERE – THAT POSITION OR POSSESSION! SAVE YOUR NOW AND TOMORROW BY TODAY’S LIFE DOING.
Will you PLEASE STOP if this concerns you? GOD LOVES YOU. JESUS LOVES AND CARES ABOUT YOU and EVEN SO DO I IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.
IT’S NOT A BLESSING AND DOES NOT WORTH IT, IF YOU HAD TO SIN TO GET IT and or GET THERE and or ACHIEVE THAT SUCCESS, EXCELLENCE AND SUCH LIKE.
PLEASE STOP. I plead to you today – STOP. Take advantage of God’s LOVE, MERCIES, FORGIVENESS and this TIMELY reminder today, to make a new start for the new you in Christ. HAVE FAITH IN GOD FOR YOUR NEW DAWN IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD.
Be Blessed today and Evermore as you make a fresh start with God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“Behold, the Lord’s HAND is not SHORTENED, that it CANNOT save; neither his EAR heavy, that it CANNOT hear: 2 but your INIQUITIES have SEPARATED between you and your God, and your SINS have HID his FACE from you, that he will not HEAR. 3 For your HANDS are DEFILED with blood, and your FINGERS with iniquity; your LIPS have spoken lies, your TONGUE hath muttered perverseness . . .” Isaiah 59:1-21.
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 ABSTAIN from ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your WHOLE SPIRIT AND SOUL AND BODY BE PRESERVED BLAMELESS UNTO THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. 24 FAITHFUL is he that CALLETH YOU, who also will DO it” 1 Thessalonians 5:21-24.
“For God so LOVED the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in him should NOT perish, but HAVE everlasting life. 17 For God SENT not his Son into the world to CONDEMN the world; but that the world through him MIGHT be SAVED. 18 He that BELIEVETH on him is not CONDEMNED: but he that BELIEVETH NOT is CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath NOT BELIEVED in the name of the only begotten Son of God” John 3:16-18.
“But thou shalt REMEMBER the Lord thy God: for it is HE that GIVETH thee POWER (RIGHT, PRIVILEGE, GRACE) to GET (CREATE, ACQUIRE) wealth, that he may ESTABLISH his COVENANT which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” Deuteronomy 8:18 (Emphasis Mine).
“He that TILLETH (CULTIVATES) his land shall have PLENTY of bread: but he that FOLLOWETH after VAIN persons shall have poverty enough. 20 A FAITHFUL man shall ABOUND with blessings: but he that maketh HASTE to be RICH shall not be INNOCENT. 21 To have RESPECT of persons is not good: for for a PIECE of bread that man will TRANSGRESS. 22 He that HASTETH to be RICH hath an EVIL eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him” Proverbs 28:19-22.
“Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a FOUNDATION a stone, a TRIED stone, a PRECIOUS corner stone, a SURE foundation: HE THAT BELIEVETH SHALL NOT MAKE HASTE” Isaiah 28:16.
“Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works. 8 LET THY GARMENTS BE ALWAYS WHITE; AND LET THY HEAD LACK NO OINTMENT. 9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun” Ecclesiastes 9:7-9.

RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS
RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS: KEEP OFF SIN – IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT UNGODLINESS WITH GOD!
“RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS a nation, But SIN is a REPROACH to ANY people.” Proverbs 14:34.
Some people think that SIN is just a MISTAKE or an ERROR in cause of life doings. It is far more than that; and its presence in ones life can hinder and obstruct the desired PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT that enables one to SOAR and GLIDE IN POSSIBILITIES.
KNOW THAT SIN IT’S NOT JUST A MISTAKE OR AN ERROR – BUT AN ACT OF UNGODLINESS WITH GOD; AND IT IS THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD THAT EXALTS.
“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.
WHAT THEN IS SIN – IT IS SUM IN THESE THREE CATEGORIES AS:
** The human inherit nature, which is an enmity towards God and bore as a result of the fall in ADAM and EVE of Genesis.
** An act of transgression (overstepping) of God’s law, which is – the violation of, want of obedience to, the revealed will of God to mankind.
** A state of Iniquity, Trespass, Lawlessness and or absence of God’s righteousness as fulfilled in Christ Jesus in one’s life.
THE EFFECT OF SIN ARE:
*** POVERTY
*** SICKNESS and DISEASE
*** SPIRITUAL DEATH:
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH is the absence of God or rather the rejection of Christ Jesus – who is God’s REDEMPTION answer to human failing.
** And SPIRITUAL DEATH leads to PHYSICAL DEATH and finally results to ETERNAL DEATH when one ends up eventually not Born of God in Christ Jesus.
However, by REDEMPTION – FAITH on the finished done work of Christ – has JUSTIFIED us and given us ACCESS to a stand in God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, which enables one to escape from death to life. Wherein one can have ACCESS and live JUSTIFIED in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Now in Christ Jesus, SIN and it’s EFFECT shall have NO MORE DOMINION over you as you SOAR & GLIDE in POSSIBILITIES – that is, over SIN.
“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.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE: OLD THINGS are passed away; behold, all things are BECOME NEW . . . 21 For he hath MADE Him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:15-21.
Live under God’s RIGHTEOUS and RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS in Christ Jesus, that will enable you have dominion and leverage over SIN and SINFUL CONSCIOUSNESS. The knowing and understanding that God LOVES and CARES about you makes a great difference. And when you live under God’s REVERENTIAL FEAR you will detest SIN and pursue RIGHTEOUSNESS. For the reverential fear of God is the beginning of wisdom – the application of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus. Amen.
“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.) . . . 21 that as SIN hath REIGNED unto death, even so might grace REIGN through RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17, 21.
“For we KNOW him that hath said, VENGEANCE belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall JUDGE his people. 31 It is a FEARFUL thing to FALL into the HANDS of the living God” Hebrews 10:31-32.
If you must glory, only GLORY in Christ Jesus RIGHTEOUSNESS in you – that’s the CONSCIOUSNESS to live the POSSIBILITIES enabling of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

BE EMBOLDENED
BE EMBOLDENED: TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – NO MATTER WHAT!
“And all bare Him [Jesus] witness, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which PROCEEDED out of His MOUTH. And they said, IS NOT THIS JOSEPH’S SON?” Luke 4:22
Beloved in Christ – no matter what’s going on in your life today, I challenge you to always stand EMBOLDENED; and to TAKE and MAKE – A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – ON and FOR your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. A questioning came up in Luke 4:22, when Jesus Christ takes a stand to speak GRACIOUS WORDS that was contrary in His days of curses and swearing and such like as we see in our day to day from many in denominationised and sectarianism settings as – “return to sender”, “fire and thunder”, and such like. We must take a STAND on the GRACE wherein we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH and have ACCESS BY FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus, instead of the onward and upward trajectory of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation that appears and appeals to people vulnerability and quest that are unscriptural for the New Creation Testament.
“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.
Save yourself from every form of questioning on your JUSTIFICATION in REDEMPTION in Christ JESUS, and from SIN and it’s effect in terms of these: POVERTY, SICKNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH, by taking a STAND UP on your FAITH in GRACE against the enemy and cohorts in order to keep them at bay; and go on holding forth steadfastly the AFFIRMATION of your Faith in Christ Jesus stead, against all odds. Amen.
Be EMBOLDENED to take a FAITH STAND in GRACE on the WORD as our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. He did take His STAND to FULFIL Father God PURPOSE in His humanity AGAINST all three odds suggestive questionnaire that was thrown on Him, by the ENEMY satan as by his COHORTS in other places, by answering him satan in all – IT’S WRITTEN. Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13. I PRAY you know how to say to the ENEMY and COHORTS – it’s WRITTEN too. 1 Peter 5:8-12.
Let none keep you on the low or down by any means – to bring back the memory of sin, sinful nature, setback, failures and defeat and such like. In Christ Jesus you are PRICELESS; and have an awesome, fabulous and gorgeous WORTH in grace.
Your REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus is a DID-DONE-DEED – Period! STAND ON it And FOR it daily – no matter what. Be steadfast and steadily STANDING ON your REDEMPTION GROUND; and to keep STANDING AGAINST any contrary. Meaning be more CONSCIOUSNESS of who YOU ARE in CHRIST JESUS, than of what SATAN and COHORTS are about you in SIN and FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS. When you give the enemy and cohorts NO ATTENTION, they will give you NO DIRECTION to travel along. So, don’t give them any form of OXYGEN to breath around your redemption stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
DON’T BE A WALK OVER BELIEVER BY ANYONE OR ANYTHING – RATHER – BE EMBOLDENED TO TAKE AND MAKE A STAND ON YOUR BELIEVE – NO MATTER WHAT. For in Christ Jesus you ARE – TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER AND MORE THAN CONQUERORS – all the way. And you – ARE REDEEMED, BEING REDEEMED AND SHALL BE REDEEMED – in Christ Jesus. Amen.
Have A Blessed Day in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU
THE GREATER ONE LIVES INSIDE YOU: HE’S FOR YOU AND WITH YOU!
“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.
We ARE of God and not of the World where the enemy and cohorts of our FAITH tend to thrive about. And the greater one – our God in trinity dwells in us. And it’s as we communicate in and by faith, and in acknowledgement of His indwelling presence in us, of the good deeds done in us in Christ Jesus that we become effectual – productive and results oriented. Even as God did promise to be with us and to dwell in us according to the Holy writs as written:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH you for ever; 17 even the Spirit of TRUTH; whom the WORLD CANNOT receive, because it SEETH him not, neither KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW him; for he dwelleth WITH you, and shall be IN you” John 14:16-17.
“Ye ARE of God, little children, and have OVERCOME them: because GREATER is HE that is IN YOU, than he that is in the WORLD. 5 They ARE of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. 6 We ARE of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error” 1 John 4:4-6.
There’s no more need to live in FEAR and be afraid, for in Christ Jesus, there is DOMINION over SIN and it’s EFFECTS: POVERTY, SICKNESS AND SPIRITUAL DEATH. This is made possible because of the GREATER one that lives IN you and WITH you, and causing you to be TRIUMPHANT, VICTORIOUS, OVERCOMER, MORE THAN CONQUERORS and in DOMINION in every places in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“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.
“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.
“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.
For God is IN you, He’s FOR you and He’s WITH you in everyway in Christ Jesus Stead, to REIGN and RULE in DOMINION over the dominion and limitations of sin and it’s effects that had grips over us, prior to our REDEMPTION in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For he hath MADE him to be SIN for us, who KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God IN him” 2 Corinthians 5:21.
“For SIN shall NOT have DOMINION over you: for ye are NOT UNDER the law, but UNDER grace” Romans 6:14.
Therefore, take your stand in grace in Christ Jesus stead to thrive, colour your worlds and live a purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling life. For the GREATER ONE lives inside you. He’s FOR you and WITH you in everyway in doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
