TOTAL GOSPEL

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that transforms the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.

Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and go. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols comes and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.

Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL contex:

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God

** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship

** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strenght.

** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.

Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

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 it’s PRESENCE in our Christian life, is to help build up, complete and mature our triune being in everyway 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 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 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 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.

“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 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 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.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“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” 1 Corinthians 12: 1-11.

“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.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021: MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY – “Month Of Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION –  Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of  WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfil PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believer’s by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him.

And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit, is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I therefore pray today for your onward, upward and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowment and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I therefore WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit . . .” Hebrews 6:1-9.

“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.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“. . . 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT . . .  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” Galatians 2:20-21.

SCRIPTURAL READING IN CONTEXT: Galatians 5:22-25; John 15:1-16; 1 Corinthians 12:1-11; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31; Romans 12:3-8. Hebrews 6:1-9.

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that transforms the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.

Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and go. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols comes and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.

Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL context:

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God

** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship

** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strength.

** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.

Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

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 it’s PRESENCE in our Christian life, is to help build up, complete and mature our triune being in everyway 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 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 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 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.

“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 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 fruits 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.

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.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“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.

“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.

YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE

By Leave a Comment

YOUR SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE: WORTH A SCRIPTURAL CHECK AND EXAMINATION – YOU MAY BE IN SPIRITUAL BONDAGE IF OTHERWISE – KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY!

“. . . 8 BEWARE lest any man SPOIL you through PHILOSOPHY and VAIN DECEIT, after the TRADITION OF MEN, after the RUDIMENTS of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in him DWELLETH all the FULNESS of the Godhead bodily . . .” Colossians 1:1-23.

Naturally, the term GENOTYPE – is the genetic constitution of an individual organism. And in a broad sense, the term “GENOTYPE” refers to the genetic makeup of an organism – in other words, it describes an organism’s complete set of genes. And in a more narrow sense, the term can be used to refer to the alleles, or variant forms of a gene, that are carried by an organism in SHAPING UP the you to other generation especially if you are going to be in a relationship or already in one and reproduce a kind. And in terms of functions – GENOTYPE is not just only the genetic make-up of an individual organism – GENOTYPE functions as a set of INSTRUCTIONS for the GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT of your body. The word ‘genotype’ is usually used when talking about the genetics of a particular trait (like eye colour).

And we know that – for the good of any healthy relationships, it’s become appropriate and apparent that individuals do a GENOTYPE test check to help them if such relationship worth embarking upon, because of the effect it might have on the next generation – because it serves as an indicator if there is the chance for a healthy offspring and it safeguards you too if it’s not going to be a possibility for you to have one, instead of being locked into a quagmire as a child of God in Christ Jesus, with an unnecessary PRAYERS due to deliberate negligence. And I know that many have ignorantly and foolishly ignored this – while paying the price for it’s effect afterwards, today and now; and I can’t imagine many that I have met to pray along with as I give counsel to young intending couples to do the needful check-up test to safeguard regrets afterwards. For FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead, is not stupidly but wisdom – in knowledge and understanding in terms.

As pertaining to SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – we need to come to terms to know that, as dangerously dangerous some have played down the need for GENOTYPE test check while entering a relationship, many have in same scenario, given themselves into a more SPIRITUAL bondage and confusion, that an early check-up would have saved them; however, I do know that faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead afresh, can still save you today if you know and understand the context of this writ.

I was at my house garden yesterday doing some pruning and care to the environment for appropriate reason to enjoy the spring and summer weather, then the Holy Spirit drop into my spirit the term – SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE! While brooding through this term as I have always done on freshly fresh information from the Holy Spirit, though I known the implications of GENOTYPE effect when wrongly applied – it reminds me that the trouble today in the Christian Faith, either as a denomination and with individuals in respect to many, in a spiritually charged incompatible relationship – it’s because of many who works into a denominational place of worship and or entering into a Christian relationship without doing the needful; and most importantly important, have not done the needful check up first – of the belief – “TENET/STATEMENT of FAITH” irrespective, before engaging and bonding as such, into that denomination or relationship. And the effect as such in many, though born of God in Christ Jesus stead, are in seriously serious relationships trauma in terms of beliefs whilst some within the denominational settings are locked into some intermingled bylaws, creeds, rules and traditionally cultural dogmas with the Scriptures to take people from having an insight, foresight and oversight, and that have become a part of acceptable practice as to the worship of God in Christ Jesus stead – while yet in contradictions to the New Creation in Christ Jesus stead of belief as laid out in the holy Scriptures.

And in the same scenario in denominationised settings, many also, have only married because their other partner said he’s or she’s a Christian without fully knowing of their beliefs TENET/STATEMENT OF FAITH, in order to avoid a future difference when there’s a common challenges requiring a common beliefs to scripturally deal with it in God’s terms. And many are now crying out fowl fowl, wolf wolf, when the deed of commitment and dedication is already done but there’s hope to return to the unchanging and infallible WORD of God to get the track back again in scriptural context if there’s a willing heart of dedication and commitment toward it together.

“Howbeit in VAIN do they WORSHIP me, TEACHING for DOCTRINES the COMMANDMENTS OF MEN. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition . . . 13 making THE WORD of God of NONE EFFECT THROUGH YOUR TRADITION, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye” Mark 7:7-9, 13.

Today, I ask you to go and look into the overall beliefs – “TENET OR STATEMENT OF FAITH”, beyond your just being born of God in your denominational Church booklet or websites, to ascertain if it’s SCRIPTURALLY in context of the word of God as to the PREACHED messages you hear across the board or already intermigled, adulterated and interfaced – half baked, knowingly or unknowingly. Otherwise, you are as good or bad to what you agreed to believe in the belief, as if it’s of God in Christ Jesus. You can use similar test check on your group or spouse relationship so that you don’t run bluntly blind in spiritual incompatibility. For to be forewarned is to be forearmed.

I want you to know of this truth that:

*IF YOUR BELIEVE IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT YOU WILL EQUALLY ACT IN FAITH IN UNSCRIPTURAL CONTEXT – FOR FAITH (as the legal and vital tender for divine transactions and medium of communication and exchange, and de facto in heavenly relationship and fellowship with the earthly) –  IS ABOUT ACTING ACCORDINGLY ON WHAT YOU BELIEVE OF GOD’S WORD IN CONTEXT. MEANING, IF YOU BELIEVE WRONGLY, YOU WILL ACT WRONGLY AND YOU WILL HAVE YOURSELF TO BLAME – AND NO ONE ELSE*.

Therefore, SELAH – PAUSE and THINK of your SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE before you let go to another.

I have known and resolved years ago while I travelled to live in places as a student and as an adult or now as a Gospel Minister, to ALWAYS do what I now term SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE – that is, to always EXAMINE as a BEREA Christian before I am in any bond with a person or denomination and such like, in order to preserved and stay steadfast and unmovable in the FAITH, which I know, have cost me a lot to have come thus far to live in and along with it unwavering, by God’s enabling grace, mercy, love and peace. Hence I could write the book – LIVING IN THE REALM OF REVELATION, whr

Are you Minister of the Gospel of Christ Jesus, especially as a pioneer in terms of a any denominational Christian Faith? How plain have you made your denominational tenet or statement of FAITH, made available to the worship of God under your umbrella – so that they can READ BEFORE THEY RUN instead of RUNNING BEFORE READING to discover they are trapped in a a RELIGION and not in the FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus as written:

“. . . 2 And the Lord answered me, and said, WRITE THE VISION, and MAKE IT PLAIN upon tables, that he may RUN THAT READETH IT . . .” Habakkuk 2:1-4.

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING THAT WAS PROFITABLE UNTO YOU, but have SHEWED you, and have TAUGHT you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, REPENTANCE TOWARd God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21.

It’s an utmost imperative as Gospel Minister’s that are set to lead the congregation of God’s precious people and to feed them healthily, that we ensure and assure all, that the foundation of the Faith upon which we are conveying God’s WORD in respective denomination, it’s not a religious grandstands but a righteous grandstands – that is SCRIPTURALLY proven without adulteration and counterfeit and confusion, so that any can easily access and be founded and grounded in the faith of our saviour and Lord Christ Jesus. Amen. (Number 27:15-17; Jeremiah 3:15; John 21:15-17; 1 Corinthians 14:33; Psalms 11:3; 1 Corinthians 3:9-11; Luke 6:47-49)

It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God will help you as He build you up by His WORD, that you make it a personal responsibility and accountability in principle, to continually look up into the WORD of God for your spiritual healthy living in order not to have a cause to blame any for your negligence, ignorance, stupidity and fooolishness, when you find yourself in a NEW place to live and need to find a place of INGATHERING of the saints in order to worship; and also, when you are considering a healthy relationship with someone, to look inward and to ask basic questions to safeguard that relationship when the challenges of times comes, you can be on the same page to deal with it in same SCRIPTURAL context of FAITH toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen as enjoined in Acts 20:32.

I hope as you see the importance of assurance for insurance in the natural GENOTYPE, you might see the spiritual implications too same like scenario, in always taking a SPIRITUAL GENOTYPE check, as a very vital necessity, in your walk and work of faith toward God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Holding the MYSTERY OF THE FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.

“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD God, and TOWARD men” Acts 24:16.

“Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9 Whosoever TRANSGRESSETH, and ABIDETH NOT in the DOCTRINE of Christ, hath not God. He that ABIDETH IN THE DOCTRINE of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. 10 If there come any unto you, AND BRING NOT THIS DOCTRINE, RECEIVE HIM NOT INTO YOUR HOUSE, NEITHER BID HIM GOD SPEED: 11 for he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds” 2 John 1:8-11.

“. . . 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ . . .” Jude 1:1-24.

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they RECEIVED the word with all READINESS of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58.

“If any man TEACH otherwise, and CONSENT not to WHOLESOME words, even the WORDS of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the DOCTRINE which is according to GODLINESS; 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such WITHDRAW thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain” 1 Timothy 6:3-6.

He saith unto him, FEED my lambs. 16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, FEED my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, FEED my sheep” John 21:15-17.

“If the FOUNDATIONS be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Psalms 11:3.

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have LAID THE FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man TAKE HEED how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other FOUNDATION can no man lay than that is LAID, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11.

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY 2021: MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY – “Month Of Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION –  Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of  WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfil PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believer’s by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a  form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him.

And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit, is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I therefore pray today for your onward, upward and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowment and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I therefore WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit . . .” Hebrews 6:1-9.

“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.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“. . . 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT . . .  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” Galatians 2:20-21.

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

By Leave a Comment

TOTAL GOSPEL: TOTAL REDEMPTION!

Total GOSPEL ensures total REDEMPTION that affect the total man: spirit, soul and body. Anything contrary is short of the Gospel message in REDEMPTION. Romans 1:16-17; Galatians 3:8.

Know for sure in life that human government and governance comes and goes. Acclaimed Human heroes, icons and idols come and go. It’s ONLY in Christ Jesus, therein is true and genuine FREEDOM that endures and ensures for ALL life time – the life we have now and the life to come. Therefore, you can bank on your well-being wholeness and completeness, in Christ Jesus stead.

Jesus provides total Redemption by the total Gospel; and Total Gospel emancipates and delivers to the wholeness of our being: SPIRIT, SOUL and BODY. Anything less is fallacy, deception, counterfeit, perversion and self-made failure.

Jesus wants you also to increase in grace, wisdom and speed as He did in humanity under Father God, as in this SCRIPTURAL context:

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favor with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

** SPIRITUALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with God

** SOCIALLY – He was and He’s in FAVOUR with people in human relationship

** PHYSICALLY (Stature) – He was and He’s in great health and strength.

** MENTALLY – He was and He’s sound in wisdom to profit one in doing life and to ease godly living in every phase of our being – Economically, Intelligently, Psychologically and such like.

Know for sure, true and certainly, Jesus Christ could live above only in humanity for our example and learning, as indicative of possibilities in the scriptural writs but not limited to – Romans 15:4; 1 Peter 2:21.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER OF GOD UNTO SALVATION TO EVERY ONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17.

“And Jesus increased in WISDOM (Mentally) and STATURE (Physically), and in favour with God (Spiritually) and man (Socially)” Luke 2:52.

“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” 1 Thessalonians 5:23.

“For the WORD of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of SOUL and SPIRIT, and of the JOINTS and MARROW, and is a discerner of the THOUGHTS and INTENTS of the heart. 13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” Hebrews 4:12-13.

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.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED US to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE US unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth . . . 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was SLAIN TO RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.

“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.

SHALOM & WELCOME TO THE BLESSEDNESS OF MONTH MAY2020

By Leave a Comment

WELCOME TO THE DAWN OF MONTH MAY: MONTH OF “FRUITFULNESS & MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT”!

Month MAY – “Month Of Harnessing The CHARISMA and CHARACTER Of The Holy Spirit For Your PERFECTION –  Wholeness, Completeness, Maturity and Fulness In Christ Jesus Stead”.

Month MAY is the FIFTH month of the Year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the THIRD of seven months to have a length of 31 days. Month May is a month of SPRING in the Northern Hemisphere and AUTUMN in the Southern Hemisphere. Month MAY, been the FIFTH month speaks of PERFECTION, just as the number 3, 7 and 9 has significance Scripturally and being of the number 5 of the year calendar, indicates an opportunity to stir up, harness and actualise in FULNESS, our REDEMPTION by the Holy Spirit that is GIVEN to us in this essence. Romans 5:5, 8; Romans 8:9-17; 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

PERFECTION – which in essence speaks of  WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY and FULNESS – is of God. Actually, it is of the REALM OF REVELATION of the Spirit, which the writer of Hebrews Scripture exhorts and admonished every Believers in Christ Jesus to endeavour to enter into such realm, in order to manifest, operate and actualise God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS in REDEMPTION. It is a REALM which in essence, will bring us to the place wherein we can be able to escape religious and traditional dogmas, man-made belief, doctrinal creeds and by-laws that are of bondages and such like – Matthew 5:43-48; Hebrews 6:1-9; 2 Corinthians 7:1. etc.

For when Jesus DESCENDED and ASCENDED up on high afterwards, He led captivity captive and RECEIVED gifts – (spiritual endowment) and GAVE these gifts to men; this is for their enablement to be His ambassador and representative on His behalf, for their self-esteem and self-worth, for God’s Kingdom causes and for the good of humanity. 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

These spiritual ENDOWMENTS and ENABLEMENT are summed up as CHARISMA and CHARACTER to fulfill PURPOSE meaningfully. Their essence is to harness the Believers by the Holy Spirit toward PERFECTION – meaning WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS, in Christ Jesus Stead.

It must be noted that a mere spiritual CHARISMA without corresponding CHARACTER breeds arrogance, pride, rudeness, and possibly false success in disguise; and a mere spiritual CHARACTER without CHARISMA breeds a form of religion that is dogmatic, traditionalistic, static – (no creative, innovative, initiative and exploring) and without inspiration, revelation, and empowerment which is of the Holy Spirit, in Christ Jesus stead.

And by the acts of the Holy Spirit, one can possibly acquire the synergy of FRUITFULNESS and MATURITY in Christ Jesus’ stead, as RECEIVED and GIVEN to us, when He ascended up on high to ENSURE and ASSURE our access to the blessed REDEMPTION rights and privileges in Him.

And FRUITFULNESS as a result of spiritual FRUIT and spiritual GIFTS are of the Holy Spirit; and MATURITY as a consequence of the ministerial GIFTS of the Holy Spirit is in essence for our PERFECTION (WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS) as God’s people in His BLESSEDNESS.

I, therefore, pray today for your onward, upward, and forward trajectory in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS; I pray also that by these endowments and enabling of God, which is of the blessed Holy Spirit will not be frustrated by any reason; but rather, that these enabling endowment that Christ Jesus RECEIVED and GAVE us, in order to be FRUITFUL in CHARACTER and MATURED in CHARISMA, will abound more and more in His grace and stead. Romans 5:1-2; Galatians 2:20-21.

I, therefore, WELCOME you on God’s behalf, to MONTH MAY 2021 – Month of FRUITFULNESS AND MATURITY IN THE SPIRIT – to harness your well-being, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING unto PERFECTION – WHOLENESS, COMPLETENESS, MATURITY, and FULNESS.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Therefore LEAVING THE PRINCIPLES of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO on unto PERFECTION; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, 2 of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. 3 And this will we do, if God permit . . .” Hebrews 6:1-9.

“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.) 11 And he GAVE some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 for the PERFECTING of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the FULNESS of Christ: 14 that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the EFFECTUAL working in THE MEASURE OF EVERY PART, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love” EPHESIANS 4:7-16.

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. 11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; 12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing” REVELATION 5:9-12.

“But the Fruit Of The Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit” GALATIANS 5:22-25.

“And I will GIVE you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding” JEREMIAH 3:15.

“. . . 2 Every branch in me that BEARETH NOT FRUIT he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he PURGETH it, that it may bring forth MORE FRUIT . . .  4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear FRUIT of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing . . . 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples . . . 16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and BRING FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” JOHN 15:1-16.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, PERFECTING holiness in the fear of God” 2 Corinthians 7:1.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. 21 I do not FRUSTRATE THE GRACE of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in VAIN” Galatians 2:20-21.
